ATTACKED BY AN EAGLE.

Foster Ambrose Of Todd township, Full
ton county, went fox hunting Wednesday
with a good pack of hounds, and one of
them early holed a big fox. While the
hunter was digging Reynard out, he was
startled by a big silver eagle swooping
down upon him.
The eagle attacked Ambrose and his
dogs, and the battle was lively for a time,
but at last the hunter got a chance to use
his gun, and there the fight ended. The
bird measured seven feet from tip to tip,
and the claws We're two and q half inches
in length. The fox escaped.-Chambers-
burg Special to Philadelphia Times.

clared Malietoa Tanus, the boy, was king,
and Tamasese, vice king. But Mataafa
couldn't see the justice of the decision and
refused to abide by it. He was encour-
aged by the German representative in his
refusal. This led to the m~arshalling of
the powers of Malietoa Tanu and
Tamasese. They marched against Ma
taafa and We're badly whipped by that
warrior king. The defeated boy and vice
king took refuge on board a British ship
of war.
Such is the condition with a few
since then. Mataafa has main
tanned his right to the kingship by force
of arms. And now the question comes
home to us, shall the signatory powers
to the Berlin agreement let the Samoans
have the king of their choice or shall they
put the boy on the throne by force?

And now it transpires that the recent
attack on the American forces at Manila,
by the insurgents, was precipitated by
advices from insurgent representatives
at Washington to 'drive out the Ameri-
cans before the arrival of the reinforce
ments, now on their way to that place.
The attack was made, the insurgents
We're repulsed and driven into the noun
tains, the Americans hold advanced lines
and the Filipinos number a loss of several
thousand killed and twice as many more
wounded. And all this loss of life, it APP
pears, is the result Of Agoncillo's ILL
advised counsel.
1t may occur to the Filipinos, in due
season, that they have to deal with a
people who propose to accomplish just
| what they first intended to accomplish,
when Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet
in Manila harbor-dispossess the Span
iards of the Philippines and establish a
government there which will promote the
interests of the people in particular and
Of the world in general. But the ambi-
tious Aguinaldo, in common with a few
leading spirits among the Filipinos, could
not read his title clear to political power
and personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and organ
lied an opposition to his real friends with
the ~larnentable result noted.
The situation at the Philippines is not
encouraging to the insurgents. They are
daily losing their cities. the Americans
are victorious in every encounter, are
advancing upon their s~trongholds and
forcing them to resort to guerrilla war
fare, a mode of fighting which has never
been successful since the days of Fabian
1t can be a question of time only when
Aguinaldo must yield to the stronger in
wars equipments.
Aeoncillo's mistake has been prolific OF
disaster to the Filipinos. No surprise car
be felt at his unceremonious departure
from Washington to Canada.

THE SAMOAN IMBR0GLIO.

The American people are not expected
to keep in close touch with Samoan poll
ties, or to care q straw whether Mataafa,
or Malietoa Tanus shall be king of that
far away habitation of erstwhile canni-
balls. But as there is a probability that
the part this government has been talk
ing, or is taking in the affairs of that
little garden patch, may draw us into
some unpleasant ENHANCEMENT, a brief
resume of the conditions there may not
prove undressing
Some years ago the Samoan Islands
We're placed under the joint protection Of
the United States, Great Britain and Ger
many by an agreement made at Berlin
by the powers named. 1t seems they all
wanted to put a finger in the Samoan pie.
The turn lately taken in Samoan politics
makes matters a little more interesting

Sam is cutting something Of a figure
there. To explain we must go back ten
years to the time When we had quite a
fleet at Apia to uphold American COM
mercial interests there. The fleet, to-
gether with that of the unfriendly DOW
ers, was dashed to pieces by a terrible
hurricane which visited the harbor. The
superstitions professed to believe that the
destructive hurricane was a visitation of
the wrath of Providence upon the then
disputants. But let that pass. Now TO
the cause of the present difficulty.
The form of government in those
islands is an elective monarchy. A few
months ago Malietoa, the king, died. He
had been the undisturbed ruler since the
events of ten years ago transpired when
the American and German fleets were dis
persed or destroyed by that terrible tenn
pest. Upon the death of Malietoa prepara-
tions for the election of a successor We're
made. Three men, or rather two men and
a boy aspired to the succession. They
were Malietoa Tanus, son of the late king,
Tomasese and Mataafa, the latter the Old
aspirant to the throne who had been ex-
lied ten years ago by our aid, but who
had ben permitted to return upon his
MalietOa. Like the ambitious man he is.
he however, bobbed up as a candidate for
king as soon as his old rival had been put
under ground. An election took place and
Mataafa carried the day. Whether he
had a "barl' is not known but he got
there all the same. Then the trouble be-
gan.
His opponents declared he was ineligi-
bic and was consequently barred from the
succession. The dispute was brought be-
fore the American representative there,
who acted as chief justice. That official
set aside the decision OF the Samoan peo-
pie as expressed by the election, and de-

Three men sat over the ashes of a fire
in the gray light of a winters dawn. On

The fact that many Montana boys are
at the Philippines, battling for their
country, lends Il narrowing interest to
every line of news from Manila. Mothers,
daughters, sisters, sweethearts and
friends, while hoping for the best, are
constantly saddened by the thought that
their loved ones are being exposed to
dangers while they themselves are pow
erless to render them aid. But such,
however, are the conditions of war; but
consolation is found in the fact that the
absent ones are braveiy doing their duty,
and that while nobly upholdins the honor
of their country and the loyalty OF their
they are winning for themselves n
imperishable crown Of glory, in whose
lustcr and brightness the joy and pride
Of their anxious ones ct home and of a
grateful people will ever be reflected.

THAT LIBEL SUIT.

Mr.. Ludwig Rey has doubtless learned
a little lesson in his legal scrap with the
Inter Mountain which, possibly, may de-
stroy his appetite for instituting libel
suits against wide-awake, progressive
incidentally, impress the minds Of a few
others that honestly conducted newspa-
pers, which seek not to trespass upon the
rights of any man, while gathering and
collating news for the edification or
amusement of the people at large, are not
the legitimate prey for the ignorant or
avaricious who hope to get a dollar or
two out of them for telling the truth,
though the ruth may hurt a favorite
corn Oh the f~avorite toe of the seeker af-
ter the printers coin.
Now, the fact is Mr.. Ludwig Rey had
no cause for a libel suit against the In
ter Mountain. A properly ~empannelled
jury said he had not and the Inter Noun
tain will not g~ainsay it's declaration. The
Inter Mountain, acting within the do
mains of legitimate journalism, simply
stated that an Italian butcher on East
Park street had sold to a party some
meat which in the opinion of the sanitary
Inspector and others, bore a strong re-
semblancc to horse meat. In a subse-
duent issue the inter Mountain was led
to say the meat was "cayuse' owing to
the fact it had "bucked" itself out of
sight from where it had been deposited
for safe keeping, within twenty-four
hours after it had found a resting place.
Upon the recital of these matters of
news Mr.. Rey commenced a libel suit
against the Inter Mountain, holding that
as he was the only Italian butcher on
East Park street, he was the man meant,
ana as he thouSht that Sio,OOO would be
about the proper sum to heal his wound
ed honor as a butcher, he sued for that
amount. The jury didn't think the gen
tleman a been injured a cents worth,
and as there is no law upon the statute
| books of Montana against selling horse
meat, dead or alive, he was let off to pur-
sue the vocation Of disposing of cayuse
! steaks when, where and as often as he
can ind a purchaser to invest in them
By the way some people like horse meat
and consider it a luxury provided it is
properly saddled and hrid!ed.
