REPLETE WITH INTEREST.

The session of the committee through
out the day were unusually repIete
with many interesting features, but by
far the greatest interest centered in the
night session. This session had to do
with the acceptance of the reportlsub
mitted by the committee. In offer-
ing a substitute to the report of the
subcommittee, Geo H. Armistead de-
livered an eloquent appeal to the dem
ocracy represented by the committee to
reject the report and adopt the substi-
tute, which was the plan proposed by
Senator Carmack.
In forceful argument Judge Muir
ray answered Mr.. Armistead, declaring
that the committeeman were the serv-
ants of the democracy of Tennessee,
and read extracts of resolutions of the
last convention in which the course OF
the state committee was outlined. He
made reference to the fact that the res
oution offered providing for direct
primary was rejected by that conven-
tion, and that the state committee had
no power to go beyond the limitations
of their duty.
The committee heard many PROPOSE
tions to amend, and much surprise was
created when Mr.. Stainback offered TO
effect compromise il it were accepta
BILE to Mr.. Carmack, and the friends of
Mr.. Carmack refused to accept it.

CoUNTY's VOTING STRENGTH.


The resolution of Mr. White was that
the voting strength Of each county in
the convention should be based proper
tionately upon the popular vote receiv-
ed by the two candidates in the county,
instead of allowing the candidate the
entire county delegation in the event
he received a majority of the popular
votes. When Mr.. White proposed the
amendment Mr.. Stainback asked Mr..
White if this would be acceptable to
Senator Csrmack. Meth Mr.. White
nor Mr.. Armistead declared hin9elf,
both saying that they were relTesent-
ing the people and not any one sandi-
date. The amendment was consequent-
ly tabled. However, the only amend
ment accepted was one offered by Judge
Snodgrass providing that the sub-com
mittee to be appointed by the state
committee, under the report of the spe-
cial committee, should not be partisan,
allowing each of the candidates for
governor to suggest member of the
sub committee. N Nashville American.

LAVA FLOW
In SAVAZI
DESCRIPTION OF GREAT OUT
BURST FROM GERMAN SAMOA
NEWSPAPER BY LAST MAIL.

APIA, May (Samoanische lei
tung) The Amtmann of Savaii, Mr.
r. Williams, has sent us the following
report concerning the new flow of lava
towards Matautu;
For some days previous to the 9th
of this month, there was no flow of
lava in the sea, and on Sunday, the
10th inst, l started to walk across the
lava to the A,atele. l had only gone
about where the village of Toapaipai
used to be, when | saw that there was
a flow Of lava coming towards Saleaula
with a very strong flow to the sea.
After walking round it, l discovered it
to be over two miles in extent. 1t
was alive in one continuous race to-
wards the sea-and in several places
it was so liquid that it looked like a
lake with the sun playing on it. 1t
was a difficult journey and hot one.
I turned back on Monday, reaching Sa-
leaula about p. m.
On Wednesday, the stream which
was coming to the westward, came in
at the back of Mr. Keys house, in the
swamp, and divided itself into two
arms; one running along the swamp
just at the back of the houses in Sale
aula, while the other ran through the
town, close to Keys house, and poured
into the sea; heading towards Matauto
This continued up till the time of
writing. Many houses at the edge of
the swamp were burnt, as the lava
advanced through the town The lava
on the stretches right to the end of the
town, so that one may say that Saleau-
la is practically destroyed Thus we
have to add one more town to the list
of those already gone,
The natives right through behaved
splendidly, working to save all they
could-cutting their copra, saving
houses and their personal effects. AS
it was impossible for the natives to
remain at Saleaula, on account of the
smoke and fumes, they were station
ed at Matautu for the time being. The
salvage work goes on.
l am sorry to say that the lava flow
in the sea at Asuisui has again stopped
for this means. l think, the continued
flow in the direction it is now going
| towards the west.
We had luck at the beginning of ouI
trials, as we had a westerly wind
which gave the people a good chance
there being no smoke,

The liquid mass was blown to a height
of 100 feet. The hole is about SO
yards in diameter The lava in it is
now dead, but at first the people
thought it was a second volcano The
hole blew up right in the middle of
the town, where the old well was.
During the first days of the com

was magnificent at nighttime, with

The latest reports by the U. s. s..
gunboat Annapolis, which vessel went
over to Matautu on Tuesday after
noon, confirm the report circulated in
Apia at the beginning of the week, that
DR. Grevers house was burnt by the
lava. The stream of lava is now only
120 yards away from the river in Safai,
but it has ceased to advance for the
time being. This is probably due
to the fact that the mouth of the lava
canal at Asuisui is again open and
the lava is pouring into the sea there
in two streams, which is indicated by
two dense volumes of smoke. The
traders houses at Matautu are being
taken down, as it is feared that the
lava may advance further on the town
and Overwhelm us.

HIGH SCHOOL TUITION
IS SET At $40
ARRANGEMENT MADE AT CON
FERENCE BETWEEN SCHOOL
BOARD AND COUNTY COURT

At conference yesterday after
noon between the membeRs OF the
county court and the Astoria school
board the question of the amount OF
tuition to be charged against county
pupils who attend the High School
was considered and an arrangement
made 1t was agreed that the county
court shall pay the sum Of $40 for
each pupil from the county who at
tends the High School. There are at
present 20 boys and girls in attend
ance from various places throughout
Clatsop county, out OF total OF l45
in the school
A recent law provides that the coun-
ty court may make arrangements to
pay for the tuition of county pupils
who attend High School which is
within some particular district in
the county. Inasmuch as the taxpay-
ers of the district--the city Of As.
toria, for instance-support the school
out of their own pockets it is mani
festly only fair that they should inn
pose a charge upon pupils who enter
from without the district On the
other hand it is also manifestly fair
that the county should pay for the
education of its children, and in this
particular can do so by paying the
tuition into a high school that is al.
ready established.
1t was not an easy matter to set
the rate Of tuition. Superintendent
Clark Of the Astoria schools had
figured that the actual cost annually
for each pupil in the High School was
in the neighborhood Of $53 But it
would not do to charge the county
that sum for each outside pupil, for
the reason that upwards Of half of the
county taxes are paid by the resi-
dents of the city who already pay for
the support Of the school. But Il ls
estimated that by placing the tuition
at $40, as was done, the county out.
side Of the city will then pay ap-
proximately fair share. There is a
sort of double taxation involved and
It required little figuring to bring
it out in manner that would be fair
to the taxpayers of the city and to
