The CENSUS AT SAMOA
Shows $4,000 Under German and $500
Under United States Rule.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
Tutuila, Samoa, March 27.-Nia San
Francisco, April IA census of the
population of the Samoan group has
been taken. The number OF Samoans
i'll Cpolu and other islands under the
German government is 32.G00 while the
population of the six islands under the
United States government is returned
at 5SC0.
The very slight increase during the
last 80 years is about the same in pro-
portion all round The infant mortal
ity is greatest and this is due in large
measure to the ignorance and careless
ness in dieting the young. 1t is not
unusual to see mother feeding her
infant from the mouth after she has
herself masticated the food intended
for the child. 1t is only since the Unit
ed States took possession that people
have been able to receive medical SER
vice and treatment. With sanitary
laws now in force and the laws con-
corning the health of the people gen.
orally throughout the islands, 1t is
hoped that during the next decade there
will be considerable increase of the ma
tive population.
Gov. L. F. Tilley returned from New
Zealand on the Abarenda on March IA.
The natives showed their delight at
the governors return by giving num-
Der of feasts in his honor.
Magisterial returns from all justices
have been sent into the high court of
all cases tried by magistrates up to the
end of last month. The reports indi-
Gated great improvement among the
Samoans. The statements, together
with the regular reports of the native
governors and other officials are care
fully prepared and are models of neat
ness. The native officers are not lack
ing altogether in education. but there
is good opportunity for the United
States to assist them in the cities to
obtain greater knowledge.

FALSE, ALL FALSE.
Stories About Cars Fear Of His Life Denied
from St. Petersburg.

London. April IA dispatch from
st. Petersburg dated April II. saws
that the stories of plots against The
life OF the Car. which found their way
into the American press through Eng
lish, German. Austrian and French
channels, were common talk on the
streets of St. Petersburg months he
fore they were published, but their
inherent lmprobability and falsity as
to details caused them to be generally
disbeiieved. Reports to the effect that
the Car was living behind steel walls
and continually running from one uesI.
to another in his study for fear Of
bombs, aroused nothing but ridicu.,.
Alarm has naturally been felt in all
circles for the life of the Car, as the
avowed Anarchists and revolutionists
have been displaying unusual activity
since the beginning of the student
troubles.
THE students do not appear ever
to have regarded the Gar as RESPONSE
bic for their grievances" continues
the dispatch. He recently received a
delegation of them at Tearkos Solo,
where he now resides. Many of them
frankly confess that they never heard
an unkind word spoken of him, and
this cannot be attributed to fear, for
the students are accustomed to talk
freely among themselves.
Thus the idea that the students as
body are plotting against his life
falls to the ground. The Emperor
Nicholas certainly does not seem to
entertain this fear. for he comes to
tho city freoueDtly tn transact state
affairs or to attend public concerts.

Of the Cuban constitutional conEen-
ton to send a delegation to Washing

THE USUAL FALSE RUMOR.
Report Of Postal Frauds in Philippines Is En-
phatically Denied.

Washington, April IA letter from
A. l.. Lawshee, auditor of the Philip
pines has been received at the war de-
partment and certain portions OF IL
have been sent to the postmaster gen
eral for his information.
The letter relates largely to the
methods of keeping accounts which are
not approved by Mr.. Lawshee and
which have not been in accordance
with the forms prescribed. 1t is salo
at the department-that there is no IN
timation of any fraud or wrong doing,
but that system of bookkeeping is IN
vogue which lacks the business meth
DDS necessary to secure the best re-
suits.
The transmission of this letter to the
postmaster general gave rise to reports
mat irregularities and frauds had de-
veioped in the Philippine postal SER
vice. Postmaster General Smith, to-
da", gave an emphatic denial to these
reports. THE accounts as filed here,
said Mr.. Smith, ARE certainly ample.
They account satisfactorily for every
thing. AS to Irregularities there is alb
soiutely no word of foundation for such
story.
Not long ago one of the most e%-
pcilenced inspectors in the postal SER

made thorough inspection of every

MRS. HALLS CLAIMS.

New York, April 1.-THE World will
say. tomorrow:
TO guests whom he was entertain

Millionaire George L. Gilman is said
to have made formal announcement Of
the adoption of Mrs. Helen Potts Hall
as his daughter and heir to his entire
estate. Mrs. Hall, it was learned, yes

following the oral agreement between
Mrs. Hall and himself, Mr.. Gilman,

Washington, April 1.-The depart
ment of agriculture has received a dis
patch from a prominent packing COM
pany of Chicago announcing that they
have just been advised that the Eng

except home bred from the British
army contracts. This it is stated is to
be effective, June l next.
The Chicago concern has asked the
agricultural department for any assist
ance it can render. 1t has pointed out
that the action of the British govern
ment is a severe blow to American beef
and cattle exporters and producers.
No official information of this report
co contemplated move has as yet
reached the. department.
TO demonstrate the Importance of the
move now said to be contemplated it is
pointed out that the value of our ex-

of animal products exported from the
United States to Great Britain is stated

London, April 11.-At a secret meet
ing of the Filipino Junta held here, to-
day, Sc representative Fiipinos from

present at this London meeting to
