SAMOAN POPULATION.
~ These 1000 Are on Upolu ana 9th
Or Islands Under German Control

Held by United states.

A press correspondent, writing
from Tutuila, Samoa, says that q CEN
sus of the population of the Samoan
group has been taken. The number
Of Samoans in Upolu and other is
lands under the German government
In $4,000, while the population Of the
six islands under the United States
government is returned at $500. The
very slight increase during the last
30 years is about the same in proper
ton all round. The infant mortality
is greatest and this is due in large
measure to the ignorance and care
lessness in dieting the young. 1t is
not unusual to see a mother feeding
her infant from the mouth after she
has herself mas ticated the food in
tended for the child. n is only since
the United States took possession
that people have been able to receive
medical advice and treatment. With
the sanitary law now IN force and the
laws concerning the health of the
people generally throughout the is
land it is hoped that during the next
decade there will be considerable
increase of the native population.

ESCAPES IN MOTHERS DRESS.
AguinaIdo Is Described as Having
Eluded the Americans i'm
Odd Way.

John Linck, of Richmond, Va, now
II private in company X, Fourth in.
fantrya in the Philippines, tells un-
der date of Cavite Viego, January rs,
of the escape of Aguinaldo from the
Americans by dressing himself in his
mothers clothing.
The Americans heard that the Fill
pino chief was visiting his mother at
the little town of Binacoyon. The
place was surrounded on the morn
ing of January IA and all the inhabit-
ants were forced to pass in review.
The women received only cursory
inspection, and Aguinaldo escaped
among them.
His body servant, who was taken,
said: For months we have been in
the midst of the Americans and they
have not suspected us. My master
has even spoken with the American
wounded in September we wrapped
him in mating and tioated him down
the river past the Americans, who
thought 1t was dead body. How
you found out we were to visit his
mother do not know, but some one
betrayed us and he will be punished.
At midnight we learned of the Amer
leans being upon US and master tried
to reach his boat, but failed. We re-
turned and disguised him in his
mothers garments as bonita senor-
ita (pretty girD and when the off,
GERS raided the house my master rep
resented himself as sick woman
and was undisturbed. My master

Henry Clay Frick to Pay e06, 900 fer

Henry Clay Frick, Of Pittsburgh,
who paid 10000 for Dagnan Bouvert's
"Christ at Emaus," is about to spend
SOC. 900 for another painting. 1t is an
ocean scene by Turner, the great Eng
lish painter. Recently Mr.. Friok OBJ
tained one of the few canvases from
the brush of that artist that are in
America and it is now on inspection at
his home. 1t is understood that he
intends to purchase it for his private
collection. The soene portrayed is a
view of the ocean with yacht under
full sail rushing before the wind. In
perspective, technique, execution,
color and light effects 1t is said to be
one of the great masterpieces of that
great painter. q

LIKE OUR SHOES.
Good Chance to Establish
Factories There.

Vice Consul General Haydecker, at
st. Petersburg, has sent ito the state
department solution of the diff
Guilty between this country and Rus
sia, which is said to be the only prac-
ticable one yet advanced. He calls at
tention to the fact that the recent
retaliatory action on account of the
sugar duty is by no means novel
thing. Within the last six months
import duties on many articles have
been increased, and there has been
an advance Of from 80 to so per cent.
on the rate on boots and shoes.
In consequence of this increase it
has become impossible to import
American or any foreign-made foot
wear. With the exception of few
small concerns in Warsaw there is
only one large shoe factory in Rus
sia. This concern, of course, does an
enormous business, and is one of the
most prosperous corporations in the
empire.
It is evident that this factory cam
not meet the local demands, and there
has been constant call for Amer
lean shoes. They are much superior
to the domestic article, but cannot
possibly be imported under existing
circumstances.
The acting consul general therefore
makes the novel suggestion that
American shoe manufacturers should
go to Russia and establish factories
there. With their improved meth
DDS, he says, combined with their SUI
perior workmanship and the use of
American machinery, they would meet
with practically no competition and
would reap profits far greater than
those tc ha oht mad olSamhara
