Tutuila Island, with its copious
rainfall is naturally full Of water
courses, and the mountainous CHAR
acter Of the land gives opportunity
for numerous waterfalls, which are
among the most charming features
of the place. Nothing can be more
beautiful THAN these silvery cas-
cades, set as they are, in a dense
Jungle of Towering trees, varieg-
ated shrubs and mottled crotons,
or in ravines where enormous orange
colored spiders swing on webs that
glitter like diamonds from the
spray Of the falls, and where the
fight of the orange and rainbow
doves, and crimson aud green paro-
Quets give movement and shifting
color TO the scene. The natives are
o cleanly folk and spend much of
their time in the water of the in
land streams or in the sea with
in the coral reefs. where the sand
is of dazzling whiteness and the
water shows every shade of the
opal, turquoise and sapphire.
Along the edge of the sea, and
extending for several miles on
both sides Of Pago Pago harbor,
runs smooth and level path,
which, built mp on the wall Of coral
rock that rises a few feet above
the water, leads by gentle curves
around the projecting prumotories
into avenues of cocoanut trees and
picturesque banana glades, where
sleepy villages browse under the
rustic and shade they afford, and
in hearing Of the perpetual sym
phony Of the waves.
From this path the eye extends
to the encircling coral reef against
which the ponderous waves Of the
Pacific burst in huge clouds of
foam. The heavenly blue Of the
water inside the reef forms q
beautiful contrast with the purplish
indigo expanse without and the
drowsv air is made still drowsier
by the incessan reverberant
roar of the distant breakers. This
sound is heard nowhere else in the
voice of the sea. II has no intervals
but resembles the continuous pas
sage of heavily loaded railroad
train the hollow. semi-elastic struc-
iure of the coral giving ii metal
r ringing quality that is as notice
able as it is difficult to describe.

when the vertical sun lights up ev-

 Second by secono the stream grew larger until the street was fairly flooded with liquid iron and copper.
 Incessant roar of the explosions, to- gether with the dense smoke and wild shouts, caused the greatest excitement. For a time the scene was one of panic. Horses with heavy loads became un- manageable. women ran out of the shops crying hysterically.
 When the firemen arrived they were helpless. They dragged the hose to the station platform and stood in groups in the street. but SO long as the mighty current was leaping and dart ing uncontrolled they dared not pour a stream into 1t.
 When the current was at last turn ed off the explosions ceased instantly and the flames disappeared. For a few minutes the red hot iron glowed. the melted metal quivered in pools and then the smoke lifted and the fremen went to work

INTEREST IN LONDON.
Tension Between The United States
 JRnau.

London, July 7.--The present tension between the United States and Japan IS exciting the keenest interest among all the European dipiomatists. None or them, however, believe that 1t VIII reach the stage of warfare. because the heavy burden of debt Japan Is car rying as a result of her failure to ob- tain indemnity from Russia forbids her embarking on a similar costly enter prise in the next decade.
 It Is recognized nevertheless mat the United States is arouisng the enmity of Japan as one of her natural assets, may have a handicap in the event Of trouble with any other power.
 Great Britain finds herself in an embarrassing position also, because she is obliged to stand between her colonies and the matter of antt-Japa- nese laws.
 Transvaal has just put into opera ton a law regarding the entry or Asiatics, which applies to Indian sup- jects as well as to the Japanese ana the Chinese and which eompels them to submit to an examination and reg fstry with thumb prints like criminals. which ts exceedingly irritating to them.
 Australia threatens action on the same lines. Alfred Deakin, the Aus tralian premier, during his recent visit to England, repeatedly said in his sneeches that the chief national quos- tion with which Australia must deal was the menace of the inflow of Jap anese labor.

OLDEST PUBLIC SERVANT.
Minnesota Man Held Clerkship fO
 Exactly Eighty Years.


 Exactly Eighty Years.
 Lesueur (Minn.) Correspondent St.
 Louis Republic.
 James Baker who died last week of public servant in the United States, and at the same time the man who had been longest in the service of the pub ilc.
 years of age, and had been township clerk of the township of Cottonwood, in Cass County, for exactly eighty years. although from his 18th to his 21st birthdays he was only deputy clerk. the, office being held during these years of his minority by his father. After he was 21 years old he was him. self elected clerk, but never reelected. It Is the law that an elected officer holds the position till successor is elected and qualified. and he was so satisfactory that the citizens never elected, nor even voted for. anyone else. His first bond was signed by two cousins of his Peter and Jacob Ommer- wunk, and, as they were men of wealth, though no older than MT Baker, and are still living, the old bond has been perfectly good all these seventy-five years. and has never been changed or renewed.
 The township of Cottonwood lies just across the river from the considerable city of Dinndale and is and has been for century very ,populous and a lOleu pOllNlSdi SAy OA its citizens have had business dealings with the merchants and others In Dinn- dale and, taking it all in all, the office of clerk of the township has been one that has had much work connected with 1t.
 MT. Baker in his term of office had seen 1O7 different men hold the office of supervisors of the township, 53 diff ferent justices of the peace and 61 diff ferent men sworn in as constables. He has filed an average of 137 chattel mortgages every year. or a total of 10.- 960, and at the time of his death had them all on hand in perfect order and duly numbered from one up, the town hall, with every scrap of a record, hav- ing been burned the day his father was elected clerk and he himself took over the duties of the office.
 His death, after all these years of faithful service. was. strangely enough directly brought about by his devotion to the work.
 According to the law all birth, death and marriage nStices are filed with him, and in pursuance of this, Dr. H- ram Pedley, In the year 1880, filed in the office of the clerk his report of the death of a child named Maud Chivver from mumps, and marked on the envel- one in which the report was inclosed "Retter not open. May be infected with inc germs" Baker did not open the report at the time 1t was filed. or, if he did, sealed 1t up again, and it lay un- opened in the vault for some seventy seven years and until lately.

Why Is there talk of the wrong of our franchise law? Who Is hurt by itY Why should we amend it? The proper thing Is to educate our men to the idea that 1t Is disgrace not to be a voter, not to pay $1.60 a year to the school fund. We are moving along beautifully with the law as 1t is. No- body Is hurt by it, We are relieved of a lot of bad votes Let's replace the elf-disfranchised men with in- telligent ambitious young men, who want schools and progress, and not give his $l50 for a quart of whiskey than have the privilege of voting.
