the effect that on June IL gale, with
hurricane force, swept over the Samoan
Islands. Strong southern winds had
prevailed for some time, but they veered
round to the west and the north on the
morning of June IL. Toward evening
the wind shifted again, and came with
such violence from the south that as
much damage was done to the plants-
tons as during gale occurring in the
hurricane" months. In German Sa-
moa much damage was done to the new
plantations, principally on account of
the falling branches of the high shade
trees left for the protection of the cocoa
and the coffee. The roof Of large
cOpra house in Savile was blown to sea.
and in Tutula the iron roof of new
church was placed on the beach Of the
village. No damage was done at Page

Fire in Coal Mine.

A dispatch from Dortmund. Prussia,
says that a fire has broken out in the
Borussia coal mine, caused by the care
less handling of a lamp by boys. The
lamp exploded, igniting the timbers of
the shaft, which burned rapidly. Two
hundred and fifty miners escaped through
the airshaft, but thirty-nine were cut off
and their death is regarded as certain.
The work of rescue is attended with
great danger owing to the escape OF poi
sonious gases, and six of the rescuers are
reported missing. The ground over the
mine is sinking gradually, with sound
like that of thunder, as the supporting
timbe.s of the mine are burned away.
Great crowds of women and children are
standing about the mine in drenching
rain, hoping for the rescue Of husbands
and fathers.

MANY PEOPLE are beginning to be-
lieye nothing they read about the Rus
sian cruiser Kniaz POtemkin. Not long
ago it was published that she was
manned by a loyal crew; then that her
crew had mutinied, killed the officers
and raised the flag of revolution; then 1t
was stated that the whole affair was but
row among some drun'en sailors
then that the ship had bOmbarded Odessa
and Theodosia then she had dehed
what was left of the Russian navy; then
that she had surrendered to the Rou-
mania government; then that she had
been taken possession Of by Russian
crew and had joined the Russian fleet,
aud today it is published that the ship
was not turned over to the Russian ad-
miral. as previously reported, but that
the mutineers opened the seacocks and
flooded her, and that the vessel is now
living at the bottom. Was there ever
any such ship as the Kniaz Potemkin, to
start with ?

SENATOR MARTINS friends, and in
deed all true democrats, will be glad that
the attempt to bring about another joint
debate between him and Gov. Montague
has been declared off. At King George
last week the Senator promptly accepted
a challenge from the Governor for such a
debate and acquitted himself to the en-
tire satisfaction OF all his friends through
out the State. The Governor realizes
that he was decidedly worsted in the
meeting and now wishes another chance
to get even. Senator Martin has moth
ing to gain by such meetings, which are
calculated to bring about discussions
in the democratic party and such dis
sensions would only help the repub-
licans who are watching and waiting to
take advantage of all breaks in the
democratic ranks.

the MORALLY wounded moonshiners are

agent is Deputy CollectorG. NJ. Tucker,

counters which ever occurred in that sec

sinners. Tucker, in company with Dep

went to the vicinity of Jean, some dis
lance from Grundy, the county seat of
Buchanan, with the purpose of raiding
alleged illicit distilleries said to be oper-
ated by Columbus Collins, Andy Ander-
son and Henry Adams. The night was
moonless and the revenue agents pro-
cee1ed cautiously, after getting within a
few miles of the distilleries. When
within half mile of their game the
raiders dismounted and leaving their
horses, proceeded on foot.
They had not gone far VIXEN they saw
party approaching, carrying lantern.
The raiders lay quiet, and when the
mOOnshiners came up heard them say
that "If any revenue men ever came into
that neighborhood they would be carried
out dead"
At this juncture Tucker sprang, for
ward, and, telling the moonshiners who
he was, commander them to surrender.
This command was answered by a vOlley,
and Tucker was shot in the abdomen.
but not seriously injured. He grappled
with Henry Adams, and 10 a hand-to-
hand struggle fuckers pistol was dis
charged, but with what damage it is not
known.
The other raiders then took hand,
and the fight became general. The raid
ers retreated, and were followed some
distance by more moonshiners. Word
reached Grundy Sunday giving the
names of the three men killed.
Henry Adams, who led the moon
sinners, is alleged to have record of
Staying four men and wounding several

Rather than see his chum, Arnold
Lawson, who is the only son of Thomas
w. Lawson, of Boston, killed, Gilbert

life.
The tragedy, which has Frustrated
young Lawson with grief, occurred
Wednesday at the Tom Lawson Mine, at

who demanded 80 more. The manager
refused, angry words passed and the two
men were soon engaged in quarrel.
Suddenly the Mexican drew long knife.
Lawson and johnson ran to the
managers assistance. The Mexican
had aimed a blow at Rein that would
surely have gone home had not young
Lawson run forward and pulled the
manager out of The way.
The Mexican, wild with rage, tried 10
stab Lawson. Johnson ran forward and
attempted to disarm the man. Just as
the Mexican's arm was raised to strike
Lawson, johnson attempted TO catch his
wrist, but missed and the knife was
plunged into his breast.
R0cha was overpowered, disarmed and
taken. away by angry miners. Accord
ing to reports, they lynched him. A
doctor was summoned, but johnson ex-
pired before he arrived.
Although but Is years old, johnson
was the chief engineer of the mines. He
had been there only month, having
gone from Kennett, Cal. Young lawson,
who is treasurer of the mines, and john
son soon became fast friends and were
seldom apart.
Thomas Lawson has been notified and
he will try to have the body removed
from Mexico and sent to Denver.

TUESDAY EVENING. JULY Il, 1905

FOLLOWING the scandal in connection
with the alleged sale of advance cotton
statistics by former Assistant StatistIclan
Holmes comes the report that there
have been leaks in the grain and tobacco
reports. President Roosevelt may be
asked to order an Investigation of the
Department of Agriculture in its entire
ty. Complaints are beginning to pour
in upon Secretary Wilson embracing
both the grain and tobacco reports ana
MANY of them are of a very serious
character. Many persons urge abolition
of all reports. Some of these complaints
allege that agents of the Tobacco trust
have been furnished with statistics by
men in the department with such accu-
racy that the trust was enabled to hx
tobacco prices to suit itself. II these
charges can be proved, it will be shown
that others than Holmes in the employ
of lthe department were juggling with
statistics for purposes other than those
intended by the government Such sub
stautial ground for suspicion now exists
that il is felt no matter how careful the
department is from now on confidence IL
its crop reports cannot be restored until
there has been such an investigation as
will convince every one that they are be-
Jug handled for the good Of the public
exclusively.
