WAS TILLEY DRUNK /?
AGAINST THE GOVERNOR
OF TUTUILA
BY MISSIONARIES TO SAMOA
Rear Admiral Casey Has Been Or
dered to PagO PaGo to Make
an Investigation of
the Charges.

WASHINGTON, Oct 9-Reports have
reached the navy department from Tu-
tu1la, Samoa Islands, complaining of the
conduct of Capt. Tilley commandant at
that station. 1t is alleged that on more
than one occasion the commandant has
been under the influence of liquor and
that his conduct was unbecoming an Of
ficer. Acting Secretary Hackett has di-
rected the commander-in-chief of the Pa
cific squadron, to proceed to Samoa and
ascertain the truth with regard to the
charges, and if necessary to hold a court
for the trial of Capt. Tilley. The de-
partment has detached Capt. Tilley from
command of the Abarenda and of the
station, and ordered him to proceed by
the next steamer from San Francisco
to Tutuila. The charges, it is proper
to say, were received by the depart
ment with surprise, since the record of
Capt. Tilley has hitherto been unblem-
iShed. The administration of his office
as reported unofficially from time to time
has been eminently satisfactory. There
has been no ground for supposing that
this officers conduct has been otherwise
than it should have been.
1t was said at the navy department
that the reports of misconduct of Capt.
Tilley have emanated for the most part
from Samoan missionaries.
Rear Admiral Silas Casey will proceed
to Tutuila aboard his flagship, the Wis
charges preferred against the captain.
TO believe the stories of unbecoming
conduct preferred against him, as his
conduct before has shown no such trend.

WANT EICHT-HOUR DAY
FRENCH MINERS ARE VOTING ON
STRIKE PROPOSITION
Demand Also Minimum Wage and
Pensions After Service of
Twenty-Five Years in
the Mines.

PARIS, Oct. 9.-AnXiety is being mani
tested in commercial and industrial cir
cles as to the result of the miners refer
endum on the question of general
strike which will be known about Oct. 10.
The miners are voting as to whether to
strike Nov. 1 if their demands for an
eight-hour day, a minimum wage and a
pension of 2 francs per day after twenty
five years of work do not receive suff1-
cient attention. 1t is reported that ma
jority of the unions have thus far voted
in favor of a strike.
The parliamentary commission now eX-
anining into the issues decided to meet
Oct. Is, and Will probably decide in favor
of an eight-hour day, but reject the other
demands. 1t is hoped that the miners
will regard this as sufficient concession.
In any event the miners federation does
not possess funds enough to maintain a
protracted struggle, and sufficient stocks
exist to enable the colliery owners to re-
slst for long time without seriously
Jeopardizing the industrial situation.
dlsquieting element is the report that
quantity of arms have been smuggled
into Monceau and other mining centers;
and it is feared that the miners may
become aggressive if the strike should
prove a failure.
The government, preparing for any
emergency, has drafted reinforcements of
gendarmes in the coal districts, and or
dered the neighboring garrisons to hold
themselves in readiness.

CIVIL RULE SUSPENDED THROUGH.
OUT CAPE COLONY
Relieved the Proclamation Is the
FOrerunner of Vigorous Effort
by the British to End
the War.

CAPE TOWN, Oct. 9.-The Gazette to-
day proclaims martial law in the districts
of Cape Town, Wynberg, SImonstown
Port Elizabeth and East London.
The proclamation is the outcome of
the recent visit of the premier of Cape
Colony, Sir John Gordon Sprigg, ana the
under secretary of native affairs in South
Africa, ]. Rose Innes to the British high
commissioner, Lord Miner. 1t places un-
der military control the few points in
Cape Colony hitherto exempted, and the
constitution therefore is now suspended
over the entire colony. This action prob
ably foreshadows the commencement of
vigorous measures which those on the
spot are understood to believe necessary
to end the war
2 Martial law will be modified in its an
plication to the ports by leaving the
docks, railroads and harbors under the
control of the civil authorities. Militarv
rule will be mitigated in some otner re.

CHING MAKES PROTEST
OBJECTS TO FOREIGN MERCHANTS
IN PEkIN
Claims That, the Chinese Capital
Not Being Treaty Port,
They Have No Right
to BE There.

PEKIN, Oct. 9.-Prince Ching has
written to the ministers of the powers
requesting a withdrawal from Pekin of
the foreign business establishments. He
says that Pekin is not a treaty port that
foreign business houses have been ille-
gally established here and that all such
should be moved to treaty ports. He de-
sires the ministers to secure their re-
moYal.
The ministers have arranged for a
meeting on the request of DR.. Mumm
Won SchwartZenstein German minister)
to endeavor to agree upon joint repre-
sentations in opposition to Prince Ching's
demand. A controversy regarding the
payment of octroi by foreign merchants
appears to have precipitated the issue.
One foreign house doing a large business
with the Chinese objected to the octroi
tax, arguing that the goods were for the
use of the legations. Prince Ching
points out that goods required by the le-
gotions can be ordered by them from
treaty ports and when so ordered are not
dutiable The foreign business commun-
ity in Pekin, although small, is impor-
tant. Its presence is essential to the
comfort and convenience of the lega-
tions and it's members hope their status
may now be definitely settled
Foreign houses began to be located in
Pekin in the SOS with the tacit consent
of the Chinese. The Hongkong the
Shanghai and the Russo Chinese banks
establish branches here, and there are
siege of the legations; hotel was OPEN
ed and a few merchants got footing.
The Yokohama specie banks intend to
establish branches here, and there are
now many foreign shops, the German
predominating, in the vicinity Of the le-
cation quarter. These have made their
appearance since the military occupa-
tion began and have increased the for
eign population, acquiring a consider
able trade with the Chinese.
When the demands to be included in
the protocol were framed, Mr. Conger
proposed including the opening of Pc
kin to foreign trade. This suggestion
was favored by a majority of the min
listers of the powers; but the question
was dropped because of the necessity
of unanimity- The provision of the pro-
tocol in article eleven for revising COM
mercial treaties affords an opportunity
for opening Pekin which the ministers
are considering.
LONDON, Oct. 10-The Pekin CORE
spondent of the Times, In a dispatch
dealing with the demand of Prince Ching
for the removal of the foreign business
houses, says:
Probably the difficulty will be ar
ranged by a compromise China consent
q ing that reputable merchants should re-
main pending revision and the ministers
agreeing to enforce payment by their
respective nationalties of the full duties
the 5 per cent import duty plus the 81
:, per cent transit duty, which will come
into operation Nov. H."
