HAS FLED FROM SAMOA JUSTICE CHAMBERS AXD FA3IILY Arrive: IN SAX FRANCISCO. Dissatisfied irlth Weak Support of the Commissioner. Who Were Handlcapped by Germnn Instructions. SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S. Chief Justice W. 'L. Chambers, of Samoa, arrived here tcvtfay on the steamer Moana, accompanied by; his family. He is on a four months' leave of absence, but says his business In the United States Ls of such a nature he will probably not return to Apia. In an Interview Mr.. Chambers said: "All is now quiet In Samoa, but I cannot answer for the future. Both Mataafa and Malletoa affect to be satisfied with the r resent arrangement trhlch abolishes the office of King and vests the responsibility of government In the consuls of the three powers. I feel sure Malletoa is sincere In this. Though fairly elected and after election accepting the kingship, he never had ambitions In that direction. As eoon as the commission arrived he proposed to resign, a sprit which later proved to be Jn. accordance with the plans of the commissioners, and I have every reason to believe he will live up to his bargain. Mataafa is ambitious. For many years he has thirsted for power and will not be so easily satisfied. At the same time he Is a man of exceptional ability, is shrewd, and I have never thought the Interests of the natives would especially suffer in his hands. Yes. my decision has been sustained by the commission and it hao published the fact in a proclamation. -With respect to the future I can say lUtle. There ls the problem. In Its work the commission has endeavored to eliminate from the original arrangement all the features that have appeared faulty or weak, rrhose sections have simply been struck out, leaving nothing in their places. What will rob the whole document of proper effectiveness is the tripartite treaty under which it will have to operate. I am sure no government, in Samoa will succeed under such an arrangement. The sooner the powers see this and formulate some correction, the better for all concerned." Judge. Chambers said he had finished up all of the cases to come before the court this summer. The commission Is empowered to appoint a chief Justice ad Interim to act In case anything arises before a permanent appointment 13 made. Ur to the time Mr. Chambers left the commission oaa not aeciaea on me new man. - TWO BITTER FACTIONS. Platan fa sod Malletoa, Men Fight in Fresence of Commissioners. SAN FRANCISCO. July 28. Samoan adVices under date of July 14 were received to-day by the steamer Moana as follows: The situation in Samoa Is one of great uneasiness, the attitude of the natives being far from reassuring. Several fights have occurred In different portions of the islands between supporters of the rivals for the kingship and several natives have been killed. Nothing much seems to have been accomplished by the high commission since arms to the number of 400 were surrendered by "the contending factions. Chief Justice Chambers, being dissatisfied with the support extended to his court by the commissioners, will leave to-day for Washington. Their action In refusing the aid asked for to sustain the court's authority is said to have been prompted by dispatches received by the German commissioner from his home government which, it is claimed, la greatly displeased at his recognition of the decision of the Supreme Court In the kingship case. The commissioners have been well received on all the Islands. At Tulluila the people, are prepared to accept the proposition for the abolition of the royal office and the substitution of an executive appointed by the three powers. At Sapotulliia. the headquarters of Lanatt. that chieftain was defiant In manner, indicating future trouble. At Safune. the only place where the natives took a prominent part In the proceedings, there was a fight with axes, knives and tones in the presence of the commissioners, one man being severely wounded. The trouble was caused by the meeting of parties of Mataafa and Million men. t.ho were bearing food offerings to the commissioners. The outcome of all thse conferences ls a mass meeting being held to-day fct Mullunum Point, where the leading men of both sides are discussing the future government of the island. At Safata on July 4 some Mataafa men attacked the home of an opposing chief named Taamul. who with two others, was badly wounded. Her Majesty's ship Torch went to tre acena but quiet had been restored. After the return of the Brlti-h warship Torch from Satafa. the Malletoa men there took otfer.se because the persons who attacked Chief Tannls"a house on July 4 had not been punished, and rade an attack on some of the followers of the rival chief 8uatele. or.e being killed and several wounded, two of the latter being Suatele's adopted son?. One of these died later in the Gerrnin hospital in Apia. The warships Torch and Cormorant steamed again to Satafa and arrested two Malletoa chiefs and one Mataafa chief, who are now lodged in Jail In Api: pending an Inquiry Into the matter. The men-of-war at present "here are the Tauranga, Torch and Cormorant. " Mataafa has never been in Apia since he visited the commissioners on the lladger at the time he agreed to surrender his arms. IhLs. he claims, he has done, and he accepts without reservation the abolition of the kingship. Mataafa complains that TaCasese and his immediate supporters have remained In the neiehborhood of Apia. Afthla abdication Malletoa Tanus intended

WHOLESALE.) to go to Sydney and remain there for some time, and the Torch was put at his disposal to carry him as far as FIJI, where his sister, the Prlncepg Famalul is living, but acting on the advice of his chiefs, he decided to remain in Samoa. President Solf took oath of office on June 10, and immediately had trouble with Vice King Tamasese and chiefs, who considered that although Tanu had abdicated the kingShip they still constituted a Samoan government. The commissioners were appealed to, and they requested the chief Justice to see the Malletoa chiefs and try to settle things amicably. This he did. and the chief left Mullunum Point and the residence of the late President. Dr. Solf occupies the residence now at a rental. Last week the chief Justice issued orders to certain towns in Sanil to appear before the Supreme Court In certain civil cases where the Judgment of the court had not been complied with. Chief Lanatl ordered them not to obey, telling the towns to pay no attention to the orders of the court, which were only words on paper. Some towns did not appear, while from the remaining ones only Malletn m?n appeauC. The chief Justice then asked the commissioners to support'hls authority with warships If necessary, and on their refusal he decided to leave Samoa. The commissioners expect to sail for the United States on the Badger on July 26. Commissioners Returning. LONDON, July 29.-The Times this morning published a dispatch from its Apia correspondent, under date of July 14. In which he says: "Malletoa Tanu and a number of his close adherents assembled to-day at the departure of the steamer to bid farewell to Chief Justice Chambers. It is expected that Mr. Bartlett Tripp and Baron Speck Von Sternberg (respectively the American and the German members of the Samoan committee) will leave on Wednesday next. "The British commissioner (Mr. C. N. Eliot) will remain to conduct Inquiries on behalf of hl9 government respecting the origin and progress of the recent troubles." FOUR ON ONE SCAFFOLD QUARTET OF BLACKS IIAXGED TOGETHER I. BALTIMORE JAIL. Three Had Assaulted a Thirteen-Year-Old Girl and the Other Had Cut the Throat of HI Mistress. BALTIMORE, July 28. Upon one scaffold and simultaneously, four negroes were hanged at 9:43 a, m. to-day In the Baltimore city jail yard. Three of the men, Cornelius Gardner, John Myers and Charles James, paid with their lives for criminally assaulting Annie Bailey, a thirteen-year-old negress, while Joseph Bryan, the fourth member of the quartet, killed Mary Pack, a negress with whom he had lived. The necks of James, Myers and Bryan were broken by the fall and they died almost Instantly. Gardner's cap became disarranged in the fall and his face was visible to the spectators. He was apparently conscious about one moment, after which he slowly strangled. Cornelius Gardner, Charles James and John Myers were convicted of criminally assaulting Annie Bailey, colored, thirteen years of age, at her home, in Vine street. The crime was particularly revolting. It was committed on April 23. The girl was In her room, on the second floor of her little home at the time of the assault. The men entered one at a time. The sister of the girl discovered the crime and reported it to the police. Gardner was found hiding in the house In a small attic room. No trouble was experienced In locating the other two. The victim underwent convulsion after convulsion and after two weeks of suffering, during which the child was unconscious most of the time, she was sufficiently recovered to appear against her assailants. Joseph Bryan was convicted of the murder, on April 23 last, of his common lawwife. Mary Tack, colored. Bryan had lived about six years with the woman, who had deserted her husband to take up with him. They were both of a quarrelsome disposition and their fights were the talk of the neighborhood of their home, at 123 Rogers avenue. Bryan claimed the woman threatened to kill him and lunged at him with a knife with which she had been peeling potatoes. He took the knife away and deliberately cut her throat. The woman's fifteen-year-old daughter witnessed her mother's death. Train Robber Executed. FORT WORTH. Tex., July 2$. -James M. Garllngton was hanged to-day. Garlington was the leader of the band who on the night of July 21. robbed a Santa Fe railroad train near Saginaw, and killed Fireman Whittaker and Engineer Williams. MORMON ELDERS ESCAPE. Fought a Georsla Mob and Sirana n Creek to Save Their Lives. ATLANTA. Ga.. July 2S. A ppeclal to the Journal from Jackson. Ga.. says the three Mormon elders who were taken away from the home of William Cunnard at Newton Factory, in Jasper county. Wednesday night, escaped from the mob while crossing a creek In that county, and are now safe rear Jackson. They are suffering from many brulse9 and injuries sustained In a fight with their captors. They swam down the creek, hotly pursued by the mob. finally escaping and making their way through the country to the home of friends. From there they sent for some clothes. They tell a thrilling story of their experience and are very bitter against the people of Jasper county for persecuting them. It la not thought here that the mob intended to lynch the Mormons, tut was only escorting them out of the country. Mrs. Cunnard. a portion of whose Jaw waa shot away in the fight between the mob and her husband, ls badly wounded.

CANADA'S SLIM EXCUSE

WANTS BOUNDARY DECISION SI 31 FLY BECAUSE SHE !EEDS IT. Insinuation that Great Britain Will Betray Her Because of Desire Not to Offend United States. NEW YORK. July 2S. The Herald's, correspondent at Ottawa has. interviewed Sir Charles Tupper, leader of the orposltlon, and Senator David Mills, Minister of Justice, cn the Alaskan boundary question. Senator Mills went into great length to show that the Canadian contention was supported not only by American precedents, but by the language of the treaty. "The settlement of the treaty he said, "In accordance with our contention is a matter of great importance to Canada, because It gives us easy and inexpensive ingress to our own territory, whereas if the United Statea win. it will be of great detriment to us and of little benefit to them. I recall a boundary dispute between the United States and Great Britain, in which the American authorities contended that their view ought to prevail because the concession was of great advantage to them without being seriously injurious to England." After detailing the Canadian contention that the line was to follow the winding "of the coast" and cross the mouths of Inlets and estuaries from headland to headland without following the sinuosities of these arms of the sea. Senator Mills made this statement: "Just why the Americana refused to arbitrate or to compromise except on conditions impossible to us ls shown in the treaty of 1S25. By the seventh article of that treaty 'the vessels of Russia and England, or those belonging to their respective subjects' were mutually to be at liberty without any hindrance whatever to enter all the inland seas, gulfs, havens and creeks for the purposes of fishing and trading with the natives. By Article 10, the British and Russian vessels navigating the Pacific ocean, if compelled by storm or accident, were allowed to take phelter In the ports of the respective parties, and were at liberty to refit there. SOVEREIGNTY OF EACH. "Now, is it not too clear to admit of question, that the contracting parties assumed that under the provisions of this treaty there were ports and estuaries along the coast that were under the sovereignty of each? Yet if the United States contention be correct there were no ports and no waters remaining to Great Britain. "As a matter of fact, If the treaty be followed the Lynn Canal will be found to be entirely within Canadian territory. This point was made in the commission. On that Canada would have won. That is why there ls no arbitration." Sir Charles Tupper said: "The situation Is this: In a treaty made between Great Britain and Russia In 1S2S the boundary between the Russian possessions and the British Eossessions was defined. The United States ave come Into possession of all the rights of Russia, and It was proposed some years ago that the boundary should be delimited. Persons were appointed at the request, of Great Britain and the United States to explore, survey and report, in order that the question- might be taken up and settled. When Joseph Chamberlaln.Lord Sackville and myself were appointed In 1887 to negotiate with the United States for the settlement of matters affecting Canada, we were charged with the settlement of the Alaskan boundary in conjunction with a commission, consisting of Senator Bayard, Judge Putnam and Prof. Angello. Mr. Bayard took the ground that we had not sufficient information and must get more, as to the topography of the country, before we could submit It for settlement, so the question was postponed and the discussion went on. "This question has acquired additional Importance owing to the discovery of gold in the Canadian Yukon territory. All that Canada asks all that she ever asked is that If the United States and Great Britain are not agreed on the meaning of the treaty providing for the delimitation of the boundary, the matter should be dealt with as ail matters -of a similar character are dealt with by the appointment of an international commission to settle the question. Just as the boundary between Venezuela and British Guiana ls being settled to-day In Paris. Canada proposed In the commission that in the reference to such a board of International experts the reference should be in the express terms in which the Venezuela matter was submitted and accepted by Great Britain. NOTHING TO ARBITRATE. "The United States refused the terms proposed by Canada and Great Britain, and decided that It could only agree to a commission of three on each side, without any umpire at all, unless the umpire be selected from South America. The United States also stipulated that It would have no arbitration at all. unless it was previously agreed that in case the arbitrators found that the existing settlement of Skagway and Dyea were in British or Canadian territory, it should be agreed that the United States should retain them. "I have arrived at the conclusion that as under existing regulations these avenues to the Carladlan Yukon are In the possession of the United States, and that as from the last step it la evident the United States has no confidence in the result of an arbitrament, that country has determined that there shall be no settlement of the question, and that it shall enjoy tne position that the absence of the demarkatlon of the boundary gives it to monopolize communication with the Yukon, where at least 60 per cent, of the miners are American and which ls In a position to secure advantages for coast cities. "The United States has determined that there shall be no settlement of the question until it ceases to be important by the exhaustion of the gold fields of the Canadian Yukon, and recognizing the difficulties that He In the way of an ultimatum on the part of Great Britain, such as undoubtedly would be resorted to in dealing with any other country than the United States and the consequent difficulty of obtaining a prompt solution by the demarcation of the boundary line, I have proposed a new remedy. It is not that there shall be a. resort to war or to any collision between the United State and Great Britain, but that Canada shall protect her undoubted rights and interests by constructing a railroad from Kitimat. In British Columbia, to Dawson City. In the same direction I recommend that another act shall be pas5ed adopting the mining laws of the United States to such an extent as will prevent any but British subjects procuring mining leases or being able to carry on mining In the Canadian Yukon. These laws should contain a clause whereby they would only come into operation by a proclamation of the governor general In council. Of course all existing claims of Americans would be respected and the laws would only take effect In reference to matters arising after the proclamation." "You design those as coercive measures to drive the United States Into arbitration?" the correspondent asked. "No. The United States could still do aa It pleased." replied Sir Charlfs. "but the effect of these two laws would be to show your country that no advantage could arise to them from refusing to have this boundary line ascertained and marked in the way that all similar questions have In the past been determined between nations. It would avoid any conflict with the United States. They are measures within the province of Parliament to pass and to them no exception should be taken by Great Britain or the United States." HAS CANADA A GRUDGE? "Do you not hold that the settlement of this1 question to the satisfaction of Canada has been prevented by the friendly feeling of Great Britain for the United States?" "I have not said that," replied Sir Charles with rolnted emphasis on the "said," "but I have said that among statesmen of all classes In Great Britain there has always been the very strongest objection to anything that could possibly involve collision between the United States and Great Britain. The Anglo-Saxon entente cordlale ls a matter in which Canada has sympathized in great degree, and we would promote a friendly settlement of all questions between the United States and Great Britain. Canada Is. consequently, greatly disappointed to learn that under existing circumstances such an unfriendly attitude should be assumed by the commissioners represenlng the United States as precluded the settlement of the boundary question on such fair terms as those suggested by Great Britain and the United States." "Then you stand for friendship toward the United States?" "I do if you will let me. As leader of tho opposition when the commission to settle

all the disputes between the two countries was appointed. I grounded my arms ami stopped all agitation in order to promote, so far as the Conservative party could, the settlement of all these questions. On this matter Canada stands together as one man. It is not a question of party." "And what ls the Canadian sentiment toward the United States?" "I am able to say this, that while previous to the outbreak of the Spanish-American war there was an unfriendly feeling in the United States toward Great Britain and Canada, there has always been, as there is now. the most friendly feeling on the part of Great Britain, as well as Canada, toward the United States and a desire to have the two countries, so close geographically, placed commercially, politically and socially on the most cordial footing. The party I represent has always shown this desire. That was shown by the treaty of 1871, when Sir Jchn MacDonald was one of the high commissioners for the settlement of the Alabama claims and questions .affecting Canada. Again. I recall the attempted treaty of ISM. when Joseph Chamberlain and I were commissioners. That treaty, which was designed to settle the Atlantic fisheries question, was unanimously signed and unanimously ratified by the House of Commons, but when tent by President Cleveland to the United States Senate was rejected by that body." TENNIS TOURNAMENT.

Lamed and Davis Kept Up Their Winning Streak. BOSTON. July 25. William A. Lamed kept up the winning game he started yesterday at Longwood, by defeating two sturdy youngsters before noon. He first played one set to finish his- match with Kenneth Horton, and. after, winning with ease, met Beals Wright, the Harvard interscholastic champion. While the New Jersey man won In straight sets, the Boston boy fought every point and ran sets to 2-1. In the meantime Dwight Davis, of Harvard, had fulfilled expectations of many experts by defeating J. P. Paret with great ease. In the afternoon the principal event was the victory of Dwight Davis over George L. Wrenn, Jr. It took four sets to decide the contest and nearly all were well fought out, Wrenn only succumbing before the more brilliant playing of his opponent. Four matches in the Eastern championship for doubles were played during the afternoon and the second round of that event completed. Two of the matches were five-set affairs, the longest belnr that between Campbell and Huntington arid Codman and Marvin, which the former pair won after nearly four hours of hard play.

TRADE FOR UNCLE SAM STAIN'S EXTORTS TO COLONIES IX 1SOO REACHED 12,000,01S. Cuba Aloae Took Nearly f 27,000,000 Worth and the Home Manufacturer Grew Wealthy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, July 28. Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines afforded a market for over J40.000.000 worth of Spanish goods per annum, according to a statement of tha British consul at Barcelona, Just received by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. About three-fourths of this amount was in manufactured goods and considerably more than one-half of this market was that of Cuba alone. According to the statement which? Consul Roberts sends to the British Foreign Office, dated June 18, 1899, the exports of Spain to Cuba in 1S96 amounted to 134,461,675 pesetas: to Porto Rico, 37,660.809 pesetas, and to the Philippines, 38,357,757, making a total of 210.4SO.241 pesetas, and accepting the value of the peseta at 20 cents, makes a total of J42.096.048. Of the 134,461,675 pesetas' value of goods exported to Cuba In 1S96, 82,652,093 pesetas, according to Consul Roberts, consisted of manufactured goods, 5d,$S0,556 provisions and 959,026 of raw materials. Of the 37.660,809 pesetas value of goods exported from Spain to Porto Rico in 1896 the value of 29,107,977 pesetas was manufactured goods, 8,401,501 provisions and 151,321 pesetas raw materials. To the Philippines, of the 38,357,757 pesetas, value of goods exported from Spain, the value of 34.250.S92 pesetas was manufactured goods, 4,070,557 provisions and 36,30$ raw materials. Totalizing the three colonies. Consul Roberts finds that of the 210,4$0,241 pesetas' value of goods exported from Spain to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines In 1836 the value of 145,010,962 pesetas was manufactured goods, 6322,624 provisions and 1,146,655 pesetas raw materials. To this market for J42.000.000 v.'orth of Spanish produce, which the three colonies supplied, Consul Roberts adds 23,000.000 pesetas, or Jl.600,000, for money paid to tho Spanish steamship companies for the carrying trade to and from the colonies. The imports Into Spain from the colonies, he gays, amounted in 1S96 to 260,877 tons from Cuba, 26.071 tons from Porto Rico and 40,9S5 tons from the Philippines, and computes that .the amount paid in freight amounted In the commerce with Cuba to 7,826,310 pesetas: Porto Rico, 782,130, and the Philippines. 2,254,175, or a total of 10,862,615 pesetas, and says: "If to this be added the value of passenger money to and from the colonies, putting It at the low average of 250 pesetas a head, it shows a further 13.000,000 pesetas per annum, giving a total of 23,000.000 pesetas per annum paid in freight and passagej money to the steamship companies for the carrying trade to and from the colonies. Consul Roberts expresses the opinion that Spanish manufacturers and dealers are not going to give up the markets of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines without a struggle. He also Intimates that other nationalities have in the past participated in the so-called Spanish trade with these islands by locating In Spain and thus getting the advantage of low tariff rates into the islands which was originally given to commerce originating in Spain. On this subject he says: "In the year 1893 the Spanish customs tariff on manufactured goods was very considerably Increased with the view of virtually giving a monopoly to goods manufactured here for exportation to the colonies; this, of course, gave an enormous impetus to manufacture in this province, factories increased largely in number and the Catalan manufacturers grew rapidly rich. The only way in which foreigners who had good clients In the colonies could meet this competition and retain their markets was by starting factories In the country, the goods thus being manufactured in the peninsula entering tne Spanish colonies on the same terms as those of the 'Spanish manufacturers; whereas, if shipped from England or elsewhere the prohibitive duty rendered competition impossible; or by having a resident agent in this city who, purchasing from the Catalan manufacturers, exported the merchandise from here free of duty."
