SERIOUS REVOLT.
Natives of Ponape Island Kill Sev-

The steamer Zealandia, brought
reports of the revolution suppressed
by German warships on Ponape Is

started from the punishment Of a
native workman.
The German overseers took to
flight and sheltered in a Catholic
mission, which the natives placed
under siege. The defenders, nine in
number, all Germans, were killed.
Father Gebhard, the missionary,

ton Of recalling judges and district

Want New Bounty Law.

At a meeting of the fish and game
commission in the House chamber at
the capitol, it was decided to have
up a draft of a bounty bill and sub
NIT it to the Legislature in preference
to the measure already introduced by
Representative Mann. Mr.. Mann's
bill does not provide for the repeal
ing Of the bounty law. in effect since
1893. Should Mann's measure pass
and become a law, and the old law
still remain in force. 1t would enable
killers of predatory animals to col
lect double bounty-one bounty for
each law. II was also advocated to
make the fishing season from May LIST
to December 31st. instead of as at
present, May 25th to November 30th.
Close season on ducks will be advised
and a continuance OF the present seas
ons on deer. except to shorten the
spring shooting season fifteen days.
1t was decided to bring these points
to the attention Of the Legislature and
ask for favorable action.
The committee appointed to inves-
tigate the State Board of Stock Inspec-
tion held a meeting. II was an

appointed and that the work of going
