ford woods last Sunday and whose head

The dead woman married Mr. Blondin. a

Mrs. Blondin had been missing since
April. Her maiden name was Riley. She
met Blondin in Chelmford while working

GERMAN RULE IN SAMOA.
COlOntsts Claim That Unfair Criticism
Have Been Made.

Colonists Claim That Unfair Criticisms
Have Been Made.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
AP1A, Samoa, May 29.-There is much
annoyance felt in the German colony over
the articles appearing in the United States
press about that place, and drawing COM
parison with the government Of the United
States at Tutuila. The criticisms are de-
clared to be unfair. The German governor
has, 1t is said, acted with a great deal of
tact in dealing with the natives and sue
ceeded in the difficult task he had before
him. He has brought the rival factions
together and now there is a desire to unite
and form strong government. The ma
tfves are contented, for they are left
pretty well to themselves and have not felt
any harsh rule"
There Is danger of Tutuila being overrun
with worthless stOwaways from San Fran
cisco and Honolulu. They claim to be
citizens OF the United States and to have
the right to land In Tutuila under any con-
ditfons. Some dozen stowaways Of all ma
tionalities from the Australian states have
been ordered by the court to be returned
to those states by the captain of the
steamer bringing them. and on the last
down steamer they were shipped away.
The government has succeeded In spur-
chasing the whole of the native and alien
claims on the beach front In Fagatoea ;;
This gives the government a long stretch
of sea front and land for all purposes
One building which was bought is being
turned into a hospital under charge of DR.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, June 1.-THE Virginia
constitutional convention assembled at
which was packed with men distinguished
In Virginia affairs. The galleries were
crowded, one being set apart and filled
with handsomely dressed ladies and a num-
Der of leading colored men interested IN
the educational and suffrage questions.

order. Col. w. B. Petit was made tenn
porary chairman and John Goode perma-
nent president Of the body. Jos. Button
was made secretary. Mr. Lawless, secre-
tary Of the commonwealth, presented The
roll Of the convention, and nearly every
member answered to his name.
Rev. Dr. Richard Mc1lwaine president of

PROGRESS ON NAVAL VESSELS.
Delay in Work Caused by the Strikes
in the Shipyards.

in the Shipyards.
The injurious effect of the shipyard strikes
upon the work on the vessels now under
construction for the navy is summed up IN
the latest statement from the naval bureau
of construction showing the degree of com
pletion upon the various craft on the 1st
of the present month as compared with
their standing on the 1st of May. In some
cases the decided let-dOwn in the work Is
not borne out by the figures, as the strike
did not assume it's most serious phase until
the latter part of May, and what was lost
in the latter part of that month was made
up toward the beginning. OF the battle
ships, the Illinois and the Missouri, at New
port News, advanced per cent and per
cent respectively, the Ohio, at the Union
iron works, IL per cent, and the Maine, at
Cramps, per cent. Work was not begun
on either the five battle ships, the six arm
ored or the three protected cruisers recent
ly contracted for. The Cleveland, at the Bath
works, which was 90 per cent completed
Nav l. remained at a standstill throughout
the month, while the advance on the other
protected cruisers varied from to per
cent. Only slight progress was made on
the four monitors. the progress ranging
from / to 3 per cent
On twelve torpedo boat destroyers and
nine torpedo boats no advance is shown for
the month of May, and the advance in re-
gard to the remainder of these craft was
not over per cent in any case.
Work upon the new submarine boats,
however, progressed at a fast pace in some
cases. The Porpoise, Shark, Moccasin and
Adder, building at the Nixon works, show
increases of 10, IS, II and 10 per cent,
spectively. Work on the Pike, building at
the Union iron works, remained at a stand
still, and the Grampus, also building at
that yard, advanced 1 per cent during the
month

uncovered neglige shirts, but there are
enough of the brave to fortify the half
timid to follow suit ere many 80 days are
past. Merchants whose stocks of thin
clothing and thinner underwear for both
sexes have been kept in shelves and boxes

trade in such got ds. and as for the soda
