TRADING IN FAR.oFF eAMOA.O
Youngsters Display Great Shire witness
In Driving Bargain.
Two youngsters in dirty lavalavas
come and sit on the veranda, waiting
until the trader finishes his breakfast.
They keep up constant chatter as
children do the world around; they
explain to- one another out of their ig-
torrance what the white man does with
all the strange gear about his room.
Time is no object to them; not for any
Samoan does time exist. They could
be content thus waiting for hours.
When the trader has finished his corn
cd beef or his salmon, when he has
chopped the navy plug on the corner OF
the table, and has broken 1t fine for
his pipe by grinding it in his left palm
with the ball of his right thumb, when
his pipe Is alight, he Is willing to traffic
with small customers. Take this as a
sample of native speech and native
custom:

thing do you two tell what you want.

"Oh, Apa, smooth out The wrinkles
from thy heart, but listen. In the In.
significant hut of the family Of us two
there Is tobacco. and we two have
plucked the dry leaves of the banana.
But there Is not fire. That thing have
we two come to ask of thy excellcncy,
afford to us two the fire.scratcher. just
one box. for great Is the poverty of the
family Of us two"
"Oh, pig-faccd, 1t is the lie. and you
two come to beg, 1t Is true. 1t Is right
that you two buy Hre.scratchers; I do
not give away the articles of wealth,
lest I. too, become poor. while you two
have all things"
"Thou knOwest, oh. Apa, the great
poverty Of all this Samoa. and that we
two are poor people and of no account.
We have not wherewith to buy. But
because great Is the love of us two to
thy excellency we two give to thee the

THE ALLEGED CONFESSION.
Young Says an AceOmpIice Really Conn
 mItted fhe Murder.

New York, Sept. 22.-A special dis patch from Derby, Ct., says: Young is reported to have made confession Gin which he claims that an accomplice ac- tually committed the murder) to Mac Levy, for whom he formerly worked ill Brooklyn. Young is said to have told Levy that he and one Charles Simpson Filling, of Bridgeport, Conn.,, lured the woman to Young's fiat, where Young left them for awhile. On his return Young says that Filling, who immedi- ately fled, told him that he had killed the woman by giving her a dose of chlo- ral hydrate in glass of beer. Anxious to save his friend, Young says that he attempted to dismember the body, but that his nerve failed him and he subse- quently removed it in a trunk. No such man as Filling is known in Bridgeport, and the police regard the confession as clumsy effort on the part of Young to shield himself. Filling is the name to which Young addressed the trunk to Chicago. Young says that he expected Filling to go to Chicago and claim the trunk

TOES CUT OFF.
Result of Young Lads Attempt to
 Steal a Trolley Ride.

A small seven-year-old boy whose name was not learned and who resides on Howard avenue, near City Point, will certainly not very soon and per- haps never attempt to steal 6 ride on a trolley car. Last night about seven thirty the lad ran out from the side of the street and jumped on the car while moving. Instead of catching hold of the rear platform he caught near the front of the car and stood on the mud funder. He was discovered by the con- ductor who called to him to get off In attempting to do so the lad fell in such way that his right foot was caught under the wheels and all of the toes severed. The car was stopped inn mediately and the unfortunate lad was carried into a nearby dwelling, where attention was given to the dressing of tn einjury. This should be a very sharp warning to young children in other parts of the city who are in the habit of stealing rides on trolley cars.

FOR EAST ROCK LAKE.
MT. BIake's Report Submitted to the Commission.

NoHsAAsssShohs
 The East Rock park lake commission
 met last night in city hall and heard
 the proposition of Henry T. Blake on the proposed lake to be made at the foot of East Rock. MT. Blake and City
 Engineer Kelly were appointed a com
 mittee some time ago to investigate the
 matter of putting a lake at that spot
 and after much study and figuring they were able to present an interesting re-
 port to the commission. MT. Blake finds
 that the cost of the lake as suggested
 at first, one running from Willow street to the Whitneyville dam would cost
 about S65,000, which is considered a steep figure even for an artificial lake.
 The president of the park commission
 also finds that a lake stretching from the Orange street bridge to the Whit neville dam would cost $22,00 to com plete it. This would make. creditable
 lake, it is thought but the question of
 finances was one that stuck the mem
 bers of the committee last night. MT.
 Blake suggested that an appropriation of $12,000 be made and that the remain ing $iOOOO be collected by popular sub
 scription. TT
 This was agreed upon by all of the
 members of the board present, and it was voted to refer the matter to the
 board of aldermen, action to be taken
 at the next regular meeting of the
 board X
 The plans for the lake and sketch of how the property would look when completed were furnished last night and they met with the general approval of the committee.
 The members of the lake commission present last night were: Chairman B. I.
 Atwater. Dr. J. F. c. Foster, Henry T.
 Blake R. sherman Baldwin, Thomas I. Kinney and J. H. Davis. The meeting lasted until almost 10 o'clock.

CUBA AND THE PHILIPPINES
DISCUSSED BY THE PRESIDENT
 AT DETROIT. .s,,-,>

is of Grave Concern to United States
 Cuba, i'm Alliance and Friendship,
 Must Not Stand Towsrd Any Other
 Country as Toward This One.
 Detroit, Mich, Sept 22-President Roosevelt's two days visit to Detroit came to an end this evening at the con- clusion of banquet rendered him in Light Guard arrnory by the Spanish war veterans, the opening of whose third annual reunion he attended this morning. It was a brilliant event Nearly 500 men sat at tables on the floor of the big armory, and the galler- ies were crowded to their utmost ca- pacity by brilliantly gowned women and their escorts. es..
 When the president rose to begin his address, which was the first of the eve- ming he received an ovation The men on the floor stood up and cIeered again and again, while the clapping of hands from the gallery was like the craekle of musketry. The president spoke in part as follows:
 In the Philippines the problem was one of extreme difficulty. But after three years of bitter fighting peace has been won by the valor of our soldiers and civil government has been introduc- ed, so that the islanders have now greater opportunities for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness than ever recorded history. Last week I ordered taking of the census of the islands and two years hence, according to the law of congress, the first steps will be taken in the direction of giving the Philippine people 8 legislative assembly. No other Oriental country in the possess sion of an alien power-indeed no Oriental country at all, save only Japan has been given any such measure of self-government and personal freedom as we have already given to the Philip pines.
 One of the most, important recent measures has been the providing of a cable for the Philippines. ....
 With Cuba the matter is different. We plighted ourselves so1elnnly at the outbreak of the war with Spain to give to Cuba independence. The world at large sneered at the pledge and even some of our own people scoffed at the thought that we intended to. keep it. But we have kept it in good faith and with a keen regard for the welfare of the Cubans. We did not turn Cuba loose to sink into welter. of anarchy. But neither our duty to. nor our inter est in the island have come to an end with the establishment of it's indepen- dence. Cuba's immediate proximity to
