TROUBLE IN SAMOA
German Part of It In an Un.
settled State.
CAUSED BY MATAAFA FACTION
In TutuiIa and the Other American
Islands tho Natives Are Pescs-
able and Happy.

Apia, Samoa, May Is, via San Fran
cisco. June 4.--Since the German flag
was hoisted In Samoa. affairs have
been In an unsettled state. The Ma
taaja faction until after Easter re-
mained in or around Apia. claiming
that although they had given the king
ship to the commissioners in July last.
they had not by any means given up
their rights TO govern the islands under
the guarantee given TO them by the
Berlin treaty, which assured the au-
tonomy of the Samoan group and the
right Of the natives TO elect their own
king. Mataafa claimed that the treaty
powers had no right to hand over the
government OF the islands to any single
power, and that such course was not
assented TO by his people.
DIR. Solf, the newly appointed gov
ernor of German Samoa. had thus at
the very outset OF his career difficult
and trying position 70 face. After sew
eral interviews, in which the matters
were discussed from the different points
OF view. the natives agreed TO return
10 their homes and there await further
news after the arrival Of dispatches
from the German government. 1t is
generally understood the governor con-
ceded the right OF the majority OF the
natives to be the party who should be
consulted later in the formation OF the
native administration and be entitled
to appointments Hereunder. The
Mataafa party claims that "the spoils
belong to the victors."
In Tutuila the American representa-
tive, In the person Of Commander Til
ley, Of the United States steamer Aber.
enda, has had much more agreeable
and pleasant experience than DIR. Solf.
There the natives hailed with enthusi-
asm the hoisting OF "old Glory" AT
Manua, the island lying east of Tutuila,
the chiefs have requested Commander
Tilley to visit the islands in person and
there hoist the flag. This he consent
cd to do, and the date fixed for the
! function was May II. but at the time
OF writing there is no news from that
place.
Customs regulations have been pro.
mulgated by the commander. Th'
only port OF entry in Tutuila is Pango
Pango. The duties are the same al
formerly collected under the Berlin
treaty, with the one exception that the
export duty on copra has been abolish
ed. Lands are not TO be alienated b,
the natives, although lands may b
leased for period not exceeding A
years with the approval of the com
mander. The natives will be governe'
in districts. There are three districts
each under chief. Under the chief
are the judges and village magistrates
and an appeal lies from all to the com
mandant. The importation of arm
and ammunition is strictly prohibited

Several Disturbances by the St. Louis
Car-Strikers.
st. Louis, June 5.--A riot of small
proportions, during the progress of
which boy was fatally shot and a
dynamite explosion occurred, marred
what would have otherwise been an
uneventful Sunday. As a car on the
Tower line was passing the corner of
Twelfth and Calhoun streets. a crowd
of strike sympthizers threw rocks at it.
An unknown man in the car fired q
revolver into the crowd. The bullet
struck Peter Frank, I6 years old, who
who was sitting in the doorway of his
fathers house. A detachment OF
police dispersed the rioters. The boy
will die.
Alta late hour this afternoon an ex-
plosion OF dynamite shattered the cable
conduit and switches of the Olive street
line, at the intersection of Maryland
and Boyle avenues. No one was in-
iured, but traffic on that end of the line
had to be suspended. There is no clue
to the perpetrators.
More than the usual quota OF police
was furnished today for the protection
OF passengers and crews, and as re-
suit the number OF cars ON the various
lines OF the Transit Company was
materially increased, Cars were oper'
ated on 10 lines.
This morning the nucleus OF the first
regiment of special deputies forming
Sheriff Pohlmann's posse comitatns,
consisting of 10 companies of 60 men,
each armed with shotguns. We're as
signed to active service in preserving
order. Their duties consisted in pa
trolling the streets and doing guare
duty at the various power houses ant

THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS.



The recent discussion in the papers
Of tho effect upon the human system OF
food made with alum baking powders
and she opinions that have been pub.
lished from noted scientists to the
effect that such powders render the
food unwholesome, have caused numer-
ous inquiries for the names OF the vari-
ous alum powders.
The following list OF baking powders
containing alum is made up from the
reports Of state chemists and food COM
missioners, Of Minnesota, or other reli-
able authority:
Baking Powders Containing Alum;

Beno Il Ballis, Portland.
In addition to these, it is learned
that many grocers are selling what
they call their own private or special
brands. These powders are put up for
the grocer and his name put upon the
/ labels by manufacturers Of alum pow
ders The manufacturers, it is said,
find their efforts to market their goods
in this way greatly aided by the ambi-
tion OF the grocer, to sell .
powder with is own name upon
the label. especially when the grocer
can make an abnormal profit upon it..
Many grocers, doubtless, do not know
that the powders they are thus pushing
are alum powders which would be act
ually contrabrand in many sections If
sold without disguise.
| Ii is quite impossible to give the
names OF all the alum baking powders
in the market. They are constantly
appearing in all sorts of disguises,
under all kinds of cognomens. and at
all kinds of prices, even as low as FIVE
and 10 cents pound. They can be
avoided, however, by the housekeeper
who will bear in mind that all baking
powders sold at 25 cents or less pei
pound are liable to contain alum. az
pure cream OF tartar baking powders
cannot be produced at anything like
this price.

BURIAL OF SPANISH RULERS.


Weird Ceremonial Custom Prescribed

Strange and almost weird is the cere-
monial which accompanies the burial
Of Spanish kings. The pantheon, or
royal tomb, is at the palace of Escurial.
situated 5000 feet above the level of
the sea and some distance from the
capital. Only kings, queens and moth
ers OF kings are buried there, the cofiins
Of the kings lying on one side, and those
OF the queens on the other. After lying
in state for several days in the throne
room in Madrid, says the San Francisco
'Argonaut, an enormous procession is
formed accompanying the body to the
Escurial A halt is made on the way
and the corpse rests there for one night.
In the morning the lord high chamber
lain stands at the side Of the coffin and
says in loud tones: Is your majesty
pleased to proceed on your journey?'
After short silence the procession
| moves ON and winds up to the grand
portal of the palace. These doors are
never opened except to admit royal
parsonage, dead or alive. When the
casket containing the remains is at last
placed in the vault the chamberlain
unlocks it and, kneeling down, calls
with loud voice: 'Senorl Senorl
SenoIl'i After solemn pause he cries
again: Ellis majesty does not reply.

breaks it in pieces and filings them at
the casket. The booming OF guns and
the tolling OF bells announce to the
nation that the king has gone to his
final resting place.

EXPLOSION AT AN OIL WELL



-Four Farmers Killed and Seven Ser

Marietta, O., Junet Q An explosion
Of nitro-glycerine ON the Kelly farm,
few miles east of this city, resulted in
four deaths, four fatally injured and
three seriously injured. Fifty quarts
Of nitro-glcyerine had been lowered in
a S70-ioot we'll. The "go devil' was
dropped as usual, but failed to set the
shot off. A 'squib" was made with
glycerine in tube connected by a fuse.
This was dropped and in striking the
can at the bottom the main shot ex-
ploded and sent great quantities OF
water, oil and the unexploded squib
into the air. The squib fell on the
derrick floor unnoticed. As soon as
the water cleared away there was a
great rush to the derrick by the inquis-
itive countrymen. The Marietta Tor
pedo Company and contractors could
not keep them back, but fed to a safe
distance themselves. There were
about l6 in the derrick when the fuse
to the squib ignited the glycerine. and
the terrible result followed.

killed. Those fatally wounded are
