Recent Division of Islands Has Caused
 LftfIa Real TrOuble.

San Francisco, Feb. 29.-Samoan ad- vices received by the steamer Alame- da to-day are to the effect that the agreement between the three powers as to the division of the Samoan group has caused but little real trouble, thought the Malietoa and Mataafa fac tions were somewhat discontented, the Mataafans blaming the Malietoans for causing the trouble, which brought about this result, and vice versa. Re- ports were received in Apia that at Aani and Savaii the followers of Ma taafa, chagrined at the news of the division of the islands, resolved that the Malietoan adherents who had returned to their homes must be driven out of those districts. A large force of Ma taafa men attacked the homes of the Malietoans, routed the residents out, set fire to the buildings and later drove the inhabitants to Saliemoa.

THE RUNNING DOWN or MILLER.
Capt. Reynolds Formal Report-De-
 ciares His Honesty.

New York, Feb. 9.-Captain Reynolds Devery his formal report concerning his | finding of William F. Miller of the | Franklin Syndicate. Captain Reynolds states that he followed newspaper clues.
 They led him to Montreal in the trail of man "whose address I do not know" He followed this man about the streets of Montreal for three days and finally he saw him talking to Mil Ter. He approached Miller and said: T
 am Captain Reynolds" Millers alleged
 reply was: Am glad to see you and am
 ready to go home with you" The cap tain said Miller came willingly, there was no attempt at kidnapping or forc- ing"
 The captain lays stress on the fact that he passed three days and nights without sleep and for that reason ''am not in condition to give detailed re- port of all that has occcurred." He
 closes by saying: T have been straight and honest all my life" and reiterates
 lllit 4MllleI Cdluo liGTe WlliiOQL COCiCAcli.
 In commenting upon the report Chief. Devery said: If Reynolds didn't get Miller in Montreal, as he says in his re- port, he'll have to explain or I'll make charges against him. The bringing back of Miller does not let his counsel, Ammon, out. He may find himself in the same place as Miller. I want to get the whole bunch.'
 The reference by Chief Devery to Ammon was due to the repeated rumors that as a matter of fact, Captain Rev. holds did not leave the city on Monday; that he was seen at police headquarters on Wednesday afternoon and in Brook lyn on Wednesday night, the time of the alleged finding of Miller in Mon- treal; and that Miller, ever since his 'escape" has been in the vicinity of this city under the protection of his coun- sel.

Minister of Public Works Tarte Ob- jccts to Further Helping England.

Montreal, Feb. 9.-Hon. Joseph Israel Tarte, minister of public works, is strongly opposed to the sending of any more Canadians to South Africa. Re- ferring to a proposal to send out 10000 men his paper, La Patrie, says: "The country has already spent nearly $2,- 000, ,000 to send two contingents to Afri- ca.

To Stand Trial on an old Cbnrge-Ad.
 mfts Writing Bordereau.

Paris, Feb. 9.-The Temps says it un- derstands Major Count Esterhazy in- tends to surrender himself for trial on the old charge of having in his posses sion the famous document known as "cette Canaille de D." which figured so prominently in the recent trial at Rennes of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, and that he asks for a safe conduct regard ing the other proceedings taken against him. It is further asserted that he now admits he wrote the bordereau at the late Colonel Sandherr's instructions in order to deceive Colonel Won Schwarz- koppen, the former military attache at Paris, to whom he communicated the bogus documents The resemblance of his and Dreyfus handwriting, it is claimed, led to the accusation of the latter when the bordereau was returned to the French war office.

Tyranny OF Mllitarlsm..

The features in the minority report
on the Idaho labor troubles which re-
fleet most seriously upon the republican
administration are the patent facts that
the military forces of the United States
were not used solely in the Coeur d
Alene district for preserving the peace.
but that they we're employed as agen-
cies OF oppression In depriving citizens
OF their elementary rights and in serv-
ing as instrumentali.ies for inflicting
cruelties upon hundreds OF civilians
who were not concerned in the origi-
nal rioting that was used as an ex-
cuse for calling out federal troops.
Some of the unjustifiable abuses OF
power pointed out in the report are;
General Merriam's arresting, at time
of comparative quiet. the entire male
population OF the town of Burke: his
sending a detachment OF troops across
the state line into Montana to arrest

latter, by threats OF violence, to work
In certain mines; the suppression by
one OF his subordinate officers OF news
paper at Mullan. thus denying freedom
of speech aud freedom of press, and in
enforcing the blacklist system by mill
itary coercion.
In its summing up the minority OF the
committee declares that General Mer-
Ram was wholly mistaken as to his
powers and duties; that his conduct has
resulted in the gravest injuries to the
liberties OF citizens and the rights of in
dividuals. Innocent men have been
kept In prison for months and finally
discharged without any charges having
been preferred against them"
The whitewashing report of the Re-
publican majority cannot overthrow
the Irresistible logic OF these condem-
natory facts put forward by the minor
ity of the committee.
1t was plainly the duty OF General
Merriam and the president OF tho United
States to inquire into the causes OF the
detention of so many hundreds OF men :,
not charged with any crime and never
granted trial, in the bull pen at Ward
ner.
The spectacle presented exhibits mil
itarism in its worst form. 1t is seri-
GUS blow at the base principles of free
government.-The Kansas City Times.
