Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
Tutuila. Samoa, Dec. 9.-Governor Tilley
has gone to New Zealand with the Abar-
enda to get supplies Of coal and to have
the ship repaired. Lieutenant Comman-
der e. J. Dorm of the Abardena is now
in charge Of the stoHoD. Previous to
leaving for New Zealand Governor Tnley
made Official visits to all the districts.
He was accompanied by Judge E. w.
Gurr, secretary for native affairs. District
meetings were held at the leading centers.
At the melting all the chiefs and talk
ing men were present. Highest tributea
Of praise and thanks were unanimously
given by the people to Governor Tillery
and to the United States government for
the protection now afforded them At
each district meeting the SamOans passed
resolutions recommending to the govern
ment the passage Of the following laws;
First-The raising of revenues by tax
ing the Samoans for native affairs
Second-The adjustment Of the custom
of presenting large numbers of fine meats
and property at marriages and deaths for
distribution among the friends attending
the marriage or funeral rite.
The prohibition of the custom of a
whole village or district taking a Malaga
Journey and binetdng themselves on
other towns and districts for an indefinite
period. Some trouble has been caused
by the differences and disputes between
the local missionary societies, one Of
which is the Norman. It became nee
essary to enact a law ena bling a settle
ment Of disputes and a Sunday ordinance
is now in force.
Mataafa- Of UDolu. does not seem TO
realize that the German government has
control of the government Of
Upolu and Savaii and that the United
States has that of Tutuila. He has writ
ten q letter to the chiefs of Tutila invit-
ing them to attend a gathering Of the
whole Of the Samoan government at his
place on 1Iulirnin. in Upolu, and to bring
presents which may be construed as tri-
butes The Tutuila chiefs have strongly
resented the invitation.
The German government is collecting
all the back taxes prior to the hosting
Of the flag at Apia- The money for the
guns surrendered by the 1IaHeoa and Ma
taafa factions is in Apia and the Samoans
are awaiting payment, but there are
some disputes as to the manner of paying
out The German government wants to
do the whole through their treasury, but
there ar many natives under America
protection, who are to receive a consider
able share Of the money.

l6, 1899. The latest prior census was
taken under Spanish authority in 1887
and showed population of 1881, 787.
The direct and indirect losses attributable

population were born infhe island; per
cent in Spain and only 8 per cent in other
countries.
Representative Jones has introduced a
bill in the house to forbid the payment of
witness fees and mileage to Indians who
instigate violations of laws prohibiting
sale of intoxicating liquors to Indians;
also bill providing that no claim for q
pension shall be rejected on account of
disability prior to enlistment, and that
any claim Of that character heretofore re-
jected shall be reinstated and passed on
without regard to such disability.
The army reorganization bill passed
the house by a vote of l66 to 133. Three
Democrats voted for it and one Republi-
can against it. Despite the statement of
Adjt. Gen. Corbin that IS per cent of the
officers Of the army favor the canteen
system of selling liquors at army posts
the provision of the bill relating to the
canteen was amended by the adoption of
dealing in liquor, wine or any intoxicat-
ing liquors by any person ia any post
exchange or canteen or army transport,
or upon any premises used for military
purposes by the United States, is hereby
prohibited. The secretary of war is here

THE coNrRACr LABOR LAWS.


Attention Called to Increasing Number
Of Immigrants.
Commissioner General Powderly, Of
the immigration bureau, says that the
number Of immigrants entering the
United states through Canada has in.
creased to an alarming extent during
the last year. Heretofore the illegal
entrance Of these immigrants, by evad-
ing the inspectors, has been confined to
the eastern part of the dominion, en-.
tering Canada through the ports OF
Quebec and Montreal.
1.-THE conditions have now, how.
ever" the commissioner general says,
sin consequence Of the large influx OF
japanese through Vancouver and Vic.
toria, B. g., acquired special force as
regards our northwestern territory.
Special investigation by an officer of the
bureau furnishes corroboration of the
belief that the alien contract labor laws
are being continuously violated, partic-
ularly from the Puget Sound district,
despite the intelligence and vigilance Of
the officials in charge thereof.
"Unless the exigencies Of the Japan.
ese government, now In need Ofits sui.
jects, shall avail to check the tide
which has set In through the north.
west Pacific ports, or some other or less
effective plan to prevent the influx Of
japanese coolies be devised, the bureau
apprehends that the trouble alrea y
resulting in northwestern states will
reach an auto STAGE"
