Lal rans Tho Si AFTER THE RAILROADS. Gov. Larrabee Instructs the Commis stoners as to Their Report. Des Mores, Aug. 7.—Gov. Larrabee has od- dressed a letter to the railroad commissioners asking them to obtain and incorporate in their annual report information from every railroad doing business in the state as to the following points: 1, The names of all persons who were stockholders the 30th day of June, 1889; their lace of residence and amount of stock owned yy each. 2. The salary paid to officers, 8. The average daily wages id to employes as station agents, conductors, brakemen, etc, 4. The names of re; attorneys in this state, the salary and other com; tion of each; also, the names of all other attorneys in the state retained by the road during the year and the retaining fee per diem or other compensation or emolumentment received by each. 5 The number and total mileage of 1,000 and 2,000 tile tickets issued to persons in this state for other than cash compensation; also, whether the cash value of mileage tickets is in- cluded in its report of gross receipts. The govornor says: “There is reason to be- lieve that it is the practice of some companies not to include the value of such mileage in their reports of total earnings upon which the classification of railroads for purpose of ‘ting their tariff is based.” ie governor in conclusion tells the commis- sioners that if any roads refuse to give the de- sired information to Teport them to him, THE MINNESOTA RESERVATIONS. Unqualified Success of the Commission to Open Them. Bratxeap, Muex., Aug. 7.—The northwestern Indian commission entrusted with making treat- ies expected to open the remaining reservations in this state and Wisconsin have met with un- expected and unqualified success so far, and yesterday added to the successes at Red Lake and on White Earth reservation the consent of the Gull Lakers, a small band of Chippewas dwelling about the original seat of the Chip- pewa government at Gull Lake, » dozen miles north of this city, The Indians had been as- sembled by runners and interpreters, awaiting Unele Sam's representatives, and on their ar- rival immediately signed ina body. The com- mission go on from there north to Leech Lake and to all the remaining tribes on and about the headwaters of the Mississippi, and the successes 80 far indicate almost certain success with the rest. The territory secured from these Indians amounts to over 4,000,000 acres of fine farming land and vast amounts of pine timber, while from the White Earthers were secured privi- lezes of settlement sufficient to give homes there to all the Indians who consent to leave the other reservation. — MORE SAMOAN COMPLICATIONS. Germany Excited Over the Alleged Action of Mataafa. Loxpox, Aug. 7.—The latest news from Samoa is causing a stir throughout Germany, and, if the advices which have been received through German channels are confirmed, there is reason to fear new and serious complications which may entirely undo the work of ‘the recent Samoan conference in Berlin. Accord- ing to these accounts King Malictoa, who had been brought back to Apia by a German man- of-war with the express understanding that the statu quo should be maintained until the treaty drafted by the conference could be ratified by the United States Senate, has entirely repu- diated this agreement. Immediately en landing he gathered his followers together and compelled King Tamasese to hand over to him the prison and the police force of Apia. He dismissed the German ice superintendent, Herr Von Wolffersdcrf, and rek from ison several natives who had been arrested y his orders. At last accounts the entire municipal govenment of Apia was in the hands of Malietoa, whose men were patrolling the city armed, and Tamasesc, though nominally king, kept himself per force very secluded, WHAT EXCITES THE GERMANS STILL MORE than this breach of faith on the part of Malietoa is the gratuitous insult heaped upon the Ger- man emperor at a sort of national fete held in Apia by occasion ‘dead bors took place, only instead of the traditional dead baby Malietoa’s followers carried in the proces- sign a bust of Emperor William I, which in all likelihood had been washed ashore from the wreck of the German warship Eber. When the German consul heard of this insult he ptly made a demand upon Malietoa for this Bust, and it is now in his jon, Munich is en fete this week in honor of the German tarnfest.

Forty Russian peasants, comprising all the inhabitants of a small village in the govern- ment of Kursk, have been arrested for burning the whole village to the ground to obtain the insurance. The curious feature of the case is the evident innocence of these simple village:s of any wrongdoing. They no secret of their plans, gathered together and placed in a safe place such of their effects as they wished to save, awaited a favorable wind, and applied the torch. Their houses, these simple vil- lagers explained, were old and they were anx- ious to improve the town by erecting new ones in their stead with the insurance money ton 4 expected. They are at a loss to understan their arrest. ——~—_—_. An Electric Railway Test. Lavnret, Mp., Aug. 7.-A test was made here to-day of the Weems electric railway system.
