this used to grind me terribly, boys,
I can tell you.
"On my side, I didn't think well of
Pablo. I was greatly surprised when
found that he could scarcely read
4 word of his own language-not SO
much as I could after having studied
Spanish single month-and that he
actually didn't know the meaning OF
theLatin prayershe repeated every day;
and, what was worse, didn't care to.
He was more ignorant OF arithmetic
than the youngest boy in the grammar
school, and couldn't add up four or
five numbers without using counters,
to save his life. But what took me
abaoh most was that he didn't seem
to know that he knew nothing, or to
want to be anything different from
what he was then-had no ambition
In short.

SettIed-nIalletoa TAnu the Victor.

AprA, Samoan Islands, via Auckland (BY
Cable).-The troubles In Samoa between
the natives are at IN end. Both factions,
the lIalletoans and the 8Iataafaus, are dis
nrming. Mataafa has already surrendered
1890 guns.
The question which. has kept Samoa IN
constant turmoil OF late was whether the
native throne should be given to Mataata
Or Malietoa Tanu Mapill, both powerful na-
tive chiefs. The former Is favored by the
German residents In Samoa, while tue
English and Americans insisted that the
latter should be king. As matters are now
Malietoa Tanu Is unmolested In his royal
rights. .
The intrlgues OF the representatives OF
the various peoples interested In the island
led to the necessity for some sort OF an un-
derstanding as far back as 1884, when Ger
many and Great Britain agreed to respect
the Independence OF the islands, and In 1880
an agreement between the United States,
Great Britain rnd Germany was ratified IN
Berlin.
The cause Of tie Inte trouble will be In
terpreted d!Te :ently according to the ma
:ionality Of the Interpreter, but most un-
prejudiced correspondents trnce the origin
Of tho troubles to the treidltng OF tue Ger
mans in native affairs and In having de-
posed the late King Malietoa In 1887.

SEATTLE, Wash. (SpeciaD.-The story OF
last winters suffering in the wild interior
OF British Columbia along the Edmonton
trail will soon be told. The steamer Lau-
rada has just arrived from Wrancel and
chapter Of the story OF deaths by drown
ing, starvation and freezing. Several men
have just arrived there from points on the
trail, and within the next few weeks all
will be out. The deaths reported by the
Laurada number nearly two hundred.
Fifty men have been drowned in
the Great Slave Lake. Twenty have
perIshed in the rapids Of Mud and Laird
Rivers. There have been at least ten
deaths from freezing and twenty-five from
scurvy. Several miners have been lost in
the woods. Bodies of scores OF men who
died from exposure have been found. The
details OF the terrible story OF death and
the names Of scme twenty victims were
given at Wrangel by men who were almost
dead after Il years suffering. Only the
strongest got through to the coast, and
hundreds of others are still IN danger.
Fifty miners lost their lives by drown
ing on Great Slave Lake. or these but
three are known by name. The boats
foundered when n great distance from
shore and no one knows the identity OF the
unfortunate miners. Many others were
drowned while foriing various rivers.
Boats we're wrecked while trying to shoot
the rapids Of Mud, Liard and Nelson rivers,
and parties of from two to five were lost.
Fuller details OF the death by scurvy, e1.
posure and starvation will be had when a
big party Of miners, now fighting their way
out of the country, arrive.
Where bodies were found Identification
was nearly always possible, but those who
reached the coast have no Information in
many cases. Many parties are reported
missing, having started through the mount
aims intending to go to 4 certain post but
failed to arrive.
Pitiful appeals for help come from miners
In scurvy camps at Dearie Lake and Mud
River. The Hudson Bay Company was
preparing to send relief party to D earle
Lake with vegetables for those sick with
scurvy. The Northwest Mounted Police
were also going to give assistance. Accord
ing to miners, more than this will be
necessary If many lives are to be saved.
All who are out are bitter against the
Dominion Government and the Canadian
Pacific Railroad. All sorts OF names ars
applied to officials who persuaded them to
try the route.

DERBY, Conn. (SpeciaD.-Mr. and Mrs.
Gaise L. Boothe, Of this city, had wild
ride in getting away from highwaymen on
the Housatanic River road, between Zoar
Bridge and this city, distance OF eight
miles. The Boothes left zoar Bridge at 10
p. m, taving spent the day at Mr.. Boothe's
fathers country home. While passing
through a clump Of trees near Assistant
State Secretary Htnman's country place,
The Naples, they were accosted by three
men in carriage.
"Is that you, Boothe?" asked ono OF the
men.
Yes" answered Boothe. "Who are
you?"
"Pull up q minute; we've got little
business with you" said the voice.
Better call ut my office in the morn
ing" said Boothe, rs he whipped his horse
into dead run. On came the pursuers.
and 1t was the widest ride that Mr.. and
Mrs. Boothe ever had.
Mile after mile they went at top speed.
HALF the distance the road was SO narrow
that 1t was impossible for one team to pass
another without pulling into the brush.
For the first few miles the Boothes were
we'll in the lead. While Boothe lashed the
horse bis wife kept watch behind. They
we're in two-seated carriage, Mrs. Boothe
being in the rear seat.
On sped Boothe's faithful mare. white
with foam. The horse OF the pursuers was
just as white, which enabled Mrs. Boothe
to see the animal better. Twice Boothe
wanted to turn into q farmyard and fight
it out, but his wife urged him on.
As they passed the Loveland place, with
half the distance covered, QUE OF the pur-
suers threatened to shoot If Boothe didn't
pull up his horse.
"Shoot and be blamedl" was Boothe's
reply, as he urged on his mare. Both
horses were running at breakneck speed
up hill aud down dale, through sandy
stretches and over good gravel.
On they sped until the lights OF Derby
shone in the faces OF the Boothes, and
then they knew the race was won. They
drove into Housatanic avenue, while their
pursuers. not daring to come into the light,
turned about.
Before leaving Boothe quarrelled with
one OF his men. He says this man knew
that he (Boothe) had y large amount OF
money with him.
The suspect hus disappeared. Mr.. Boothe
says he had more than $1,000 with him. He
was unarmed. In return for the faithful
work OF his mare Boothe turned her out to
pasture and says she can have whole
months rest.

news Of the cession by Spain OF the La.
drones, Carolines and Palaos In the Pacific
Ocean to Germany did not create surprise
among State Department officers. A
prominent officer, who would not be
quoted, said that there had been some
prospect that such a cession would be
made, and he had not heard that any OBJ
je,tion would be offered by the Govern
ment OF the United States.
It has been apparent to the Government
for a long time that Germany's unfrlendly
attitude was due to jealousy over the at.
tainment by the United States OF possess
sions in the Pacific which Germany wanted,
and 1t is now regarded ms certain that
Germany's pressure on Spain prevented
