Caused by Dispute Between Rival Candidates For Kingship.
I'
HI8T0&Y OF EEOEUT TBOUBLE,
Due to the Vacant Kingship Cnttsed by Halletoa'i Death How Chief Justice Chambers tripd to Settle
Contest
Rival
In view of the recent fight at Samoa the following history of the trouble* there will be of interest The first trouble in Samoa began in 1886, when King Malietoa was ousted from powei by the Germans and Tamasese, a German protege, was pnt on the throne. The following year Germany declared war on the islands. In 1889 a conference of British, German and American representatives, met in Berlin, and the yeutrality of the islands was guaranteed. Malietoa was restored to power, and everything went on smoothly until be died.
For some time after his death the vacant kingship, which has caused all the recent trouble there, gave little concern to the natives. Under the tripartite protectorate the office was shorn of much of its power, and during the last few years of Malietoa's lifetime he had little to sav. When the subject of the vacant kingship began to be discussed, there wpre several candidates in the field, the principal ones being Mataafa and Malietoa Tanus, the eon of the former king. Bach candidate had his following, and each advanced his right to the title, involving genealogies, customs, practices and title.
To settle the dispute William L. Chambers, chief justice of Samoa under the Berlin treaty, undertook in December last to settle the contest between the rival factions. After an investigation covering 11 days be came to the conclusion that Tanus, son of the late king, was the duly elected king. While everything was peaceful during the trial, there had been numerous threats made, and when Chief Justice Chambers went to court to announce his decision on the morning of Dec. 81 he was prepared for trouble. It was expected that Mataafa would incite disorder among his followers if the decision was adverse to him.
When Chief Justice Cbamfoere announced his decision, it was accepted by their ^respective governments, by Judge Osborn of Nebraska, the United States consul general, and' Mr. Maxse, the British consul. Herr Rose, the German consul general, however, refused to accept the decision for his government. A meeting of the consuls and captains of the English and German tnen-of-war was held, and it was pro posed to give King Malietoa Tanus a royal salute. The German officers refused to do this, but showed their sympathy to be with Mataafa by leading bis armed followers into the streets of Apia two hours later. The Mataafa sympathizers, seeing that they had the support of the Germans, prepared to ma k^ war upon the new king and bisjieopleT"
Foreseeing war, Malietoa Tanw people got together all tbe men they couid lu Apia and the surrounding vilages ''"hey succeeded in mustering About J.,000 men, but Mataafc had about 8.500, better armed and equipped, as they had been preparing for the trouble for several weeks. The situation became so alarming that marines were sent from the British cruiser Porpoise to guard the residence of the chief justice. It was barricaded, and all Britishers and ^merjeans were bent Td Biases A Pii/ety. TheTebglH ly'.d practically f^mmed in the loyal party. iscTwa^ of jecupe was left to them ty the sea, for yearly all their boats had been seized ny the rebgls.
Tbe loyal party "Agreed not to begin .-lie hostilities and to keep the peace as I o':ig as possible. All their efforts were '"ir.availlhg, tovfever, as the rebels had riTiuiit double their number and were niy waiting their own time. They took jV~esHion gf Mat-aafele, the western ward of Apia, and under the.iustruc tion and guidance of Hc-rr von Bulow, in ex-German officer, tlnew up fortifi .•aiions in the street
A boot 4 o'clock Malietoa Tantis ap pea red at the Tivoli hotel, where Chief Justice Cham tiers and hi« family had 4Mue after their residence had been bar ricaded. Soon after, a rebel party, about 600 strong and led by the German con&ul general, charged down the street. Their object Beemed to be to find the hiding place of Malietoa Tanus. On the advance of the rebels those in the Tivoli hotel retreated to the London Missionary society's station. Upon reaching there they found that the new king had been left behind, and at great risk BrttIhh Consul Maxse and Captain Sturdee of the Porpoise returned to rescue him.
In tbe fighting 18 were killed and 14 wounded of Mataafa's party. Four of Malietoa Tanus' supporters were killed and eight wounded. Ui:d: cover of darkness about 1,800 of Malietoa's party escaped to the British wnrship in the harbor. Many went to the German warship Falke and were protected there, but beyond this the German captain refused to act in concert with the-Brit-ish captain to stop bloodshed or to quell the disorder. Mataafa's party then gained control, and on Jan. 4 a proclamation was' issued by the consuls recognizing Mataafa as the head of a provisional government pending instructions from tbe treaty powers, with Dr. ffatfel as president of the executive board.
The new government decided two later tba? the supreme court be «ksed. An

The Ruhllgbt.
Home manufactured rushlights and candles were in constant use by the Scotch peasantry. Boiled animal fat gave tbe required tallow, and the same green rushes as were used for cruisle wick euppEed it also in thiB case.
In making rushlights all the green coating of these rushes was stripped off, but for candle wick a thin strip was left on either side of the pith to strengthen and support it Otherwise the manufacture of these two lights was very similar. This substance from tbe rushes when dried was tied to a rod, then dipped into the boiling fat and allowed to cool, and this process was repeated until the rushlight, or candle, had become the desired thicknesa In later years candles were made in moldB. The tape was passed through a hole in the center of the mold and knotted to prevent it slipping. The fat wa§ then poured in and allowed to cool
These molds, during the days of the candle tax, were jealously guarded by the owners and hidden in the most eecret corners from the prying eyes of the exciseman. The candles were usually made at night in some outhouse, and watchers were posted at convenient corners to give timely warning of any approach of the ubiquitous officaf.— Good Words.
A Good Pikrrot Story.
A maiden lady of a certain town in Cornwall owned a parrot, which somehow acquired the disagreeable habit of observing at frequent intervals, "I wish the old lady would die." This annoyed the bird's owner, who spoke to her curate "about it "I think we can rectify the matter,' replied the good man. "I also have a parrot, and hfe is a righteous bird, hflv ing bgen brought up in the way he should go. I will lend vou my parrot and I trust his influence will reform that depraved bird of yours.
The curate's parroVwaa pfaced in the eame room with the wicked one, and as soon as the two had become accustomed to each other the bad bird remarked, wish the old lady would die," whereupon tbe clergyman's bird rolled up his eyes and in solemn accents added, "We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord I"
The story got out in the parish, and for several Sundays it was necessary to omit the litany at the church services

nier, tired with his exfyxnse, was anxious to reTurn to his garments, but the lady ou shore was far too engrossed with the fortunes of Princess Sheila to heed the coughing intimations of his [jre.sence. Presently matters came to a crisis. A sportsman passed along the rocks and discerned Mr. Black's dark head bobbing above the waves. Ho took it for a seal and was taking a deadly aim when Mr. Black jumped up in the water and implored: "Don't fire. I'm a human man."
The L,argeMt Trees In tbe World. The largest tree in the world is to be seen at Mascali, near the foot of Mount Etna, and it is called "the Chestnut Tree of a Hundred Horses." Its name rose from the report that Queen Jane of Aragon, with her principal nojilitv. took refuge from a violent storm -.nder its branches. The trunk is 204 eet in circumference. The largest tree in the United States, it is said, stands near Bear creek, on the north fork of the Tule river, in California. It measures 140 feet in circumference. The giant redwood tree in Nevada is 119 feet in circumference.—Ladies' Home Journal.
