Governor B. F. Tilley has paid a visit to the outiving ds of Manua and had a most loyal welcome from King Tuimanua and his chiefs. The German court of Apia convicted two of the 4 Samoans of the murder of | a Chinese last vear. The principal, Pupu, | was sentenced to be hanged, and his ac- complice to serve fifteen years of hard labor. Pupu suffered the penalty last week. The night before his conviction he endeavored to commit suicide. There will be a new line of steamers to connect Apia with San Francisco. Mr. Kunst, who bought the land in German | Samoa known as the American lands, has now bought t amers from the Union Steamship Company of New Zealand. The first, called the Rangoroona, is daily expected at Apia and thence she will pro- ceed to Honolulu andSan Francisco. Since the Oceanic Company stopped calling at Apia_settlers and traders have been de- spondent. but now, inMr.Kunst's venture, their hopes are being revived, and they ! make no secret of their endeavor to cripple the trade of Pago Pago, which | place is the great envy of the residents of German-Samoa. The balance of the lands held by Eell- man, Neylan & Hobbs of San Francisco in trust for the Polynesian Land Com- pany has been sold to G, Kunst, who sev- eral years ago bought Vailima, the home of the late Robert Louis Stevenson. This transfer places the largest American in- | terest in real estate in the islands under German control.

Harriet Tay- lor Upton of Ohio, the treasurer, reported receipts for the year of $22,522, which was $869 more-than the disbursements Sarah Clay Bennett of Kentucky, chair- man of the Federal suffrage committee, in her report on the petitions addressed to Congress, argued that the Supreme Court had indirectly decided in its ruling ¢n the fourteenth amendmert to the con- stitution that that amendment had an- nulled the word “male” in the constitu- ons and laws of the States that confined | the right of suffrage to men. Einora Munroe Babcock of the press committee reported that press work had been organized in twenty-four States. Interest centered in Susan B. Anthony’s report of her labors as chairman of the Coungressional work committee. She said the thirty-second annual petition to Con- gress for an amendment to the constitu/ | tion had been presented, supported by | figures from every State, and in addition a petition had been presented asking that the word “male” be stricken out of suf- frage legislation for Porto Rico and Ha- wail.

The luncheon to President McKinley, proposed by the Union League Club, was declared off three days before the time appoirted for the event. The Palace Ho- tel management, having incurred some ex- pense in preparing for the function, pro- poses to render an account against the club, but a heavy eharge is not anticl- pated. The league is so confident of an easy reckoning that the directors resolved to refund to members the full amount paid in by each subscriber to the banquet club.. Two hundred and seventy members contributed to the fund, each paying $7 50. Checks were drawn gesterda.y in favor of the banquet ticket holders and in every instance the full amount paid in was cov- ered by the check.

Hanson, secretary of the Board of Education, ran afoul of Auditor Wells yesterday and as a result his salary de- mand for May will be held up until he is brought to a realizing sense of his dutles in regard to the collection of the rent of the Lincoln School property. The trouble originated when the check covering the rent for May was presented to the Auditor to post in his accounts. The check called for $3987 25, instead of $4000, the full amount, as provided in the | lease of the San Francisco Real Estate and Investment Company to the prop- erty. TUpon inquiry -the Auditor learned that Hanson had accepted the check and given & receipt in full for the rent. Upon de- nanding an explanation from Hanson the Auditor was informed that the difference of $10 75 represented the cost of some re- pairs made to the premises by the lessee company on its own account. “'That is an irreguiar proceeding,” said the Auditor to Hanson, ‘‘and you must correct it by requiring the filing of a claigi for the repairs on the part of the company.” Hanson muttered something about the Board of Education being independent of the Auditor. in regard to the collection of school funds. Wells emphatically replied that the Auditor was a potént {aclor in the transaction. At this point Hanson asked for his May salary demand and the Auditor directed one of his deputies to withhold it. ““That will not influence me to alter my action in this matter,” said Hanson, who had become excited. “I will not be goerced by the Auditor or any other of- clal. “I am the bogkkeeper of the city gov- rnment,” sald Wells severely, “and you are a subordinate booklkeeper. It is my duty to see that you perform your duties properly, and until you do you will not recelve your salary.” Hanson retired, very much subdued, and at last accounts was trying to induce the Auditor’s deputies to give him his de- mand. < TESTIMONY OF DECEASED WITNESS READ IN COURT Important Evidence in Brandes Case Preserved in Shorthand Reports of Former Trial.

LOS ANGELES, May 31.—Viola Murphy, a 10-year-old girl attending the Boyd- street public school, was Kkidnaped from that institution at 1:40 o’clock this after- noon by her mother, who was escorted by a man whose identity has not been re- vealed. Up to a late hour to-night the child had not been recovered. Viola is the daughter of Willlam H. Murphy, -who resides at the corner of Fourth and San Pedro streets. The mother is Elizabeth Murphy, who deserted her husband and child more than siX years| ago, and, according to the police, went to Arizona, where she lived a rough life in mining camps. Murphy devoted himself to his little | daughter, who for six years was appar- | ently forgotten by her mother. Mrs. phy made her appearance in this_city to- day in an unexpected manner. She pre- sented herself at the school in the after- noon and told the teachers that she was Viola’s mother and desired to speak to the child. Mrs. Murpby was accompanied by a big man. s soon as the little girl was left with her mother the latter and her escort seized her and conveyed her to a hack in waiting. The driver was ordered to drive to the Arcade depot and to whip up his horses. The teachers, who had become aware of the kidnaping, followed the hack to the depot and called the attention of some of the railroad employes to the proceeding. Before they could act Mrs. Murphy and the man became frightened, put the child into the hack again and were driven in the direction of Nauds Station. There all trace of them is lost. The District, At- torney was communicated with and drew | up a complaint against the woman and the unknown man, accusing them of child- stealing. A warrant for their arrest was issued. Telegrams were sent in all directions to Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police to stop the trio wherever found. All local trains were vainly searched by the police; there was no trace of the kidnaped and kidnapers. At 9 o'clock to-night the hackman was located. He had just returned from a trip to Sierra Madre, whither he had taken Mrs. Murphy, her daughter and the un- known man. As soon as this information was received Detectives Benedict and Ritch were sent out to that place by Chief of Police Elton. It is not likely that the abductors will get out of the State. @ ikl @ BOLD BURGLAR IN THE TANKS Desperate Ex-Convict Is Captured by the Police. ———— James, alias “Brick"” Lynch, alias Mec- ‘loskey is locked up in the tanks of the City Prison on suspicion of having com- mitted several burglaries in the Western Addition.

Lives in Miserable Shacks With Frozen Fish as Its Food. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, May 31.—In a desolate and almost unknown section of Alaska, south of the Kuskokwim, there lives a tribe of Indians whose sole sustenance during the long winter months is frozen and raw fish. They drag out their miserable ex- istence in miserable shacks or igloos and never know the meaning of a fire to warm the marrow in their bones. J. B. Hastings, manager of the Alaska Commercial Company in St. Michael, and C. R. Corbusier arrived in Nome the mid- dle of March, six days from St. Michael. Corbusier’s first trip was to the Tanana station. Leaving St. Michael on November 8, he was twenty-one days in reaching his destination and only ten days in return- ing. While there he heard of a big strike, through a letter he received from Charles Grimm, on Myrtle and Slate creeks, in the Koyukuk district. Grimm wrote that they had struck gold at last on these creeks, §100 to the shovel being the aver- age pay, and that wages were $15 a day. Corbusier’s next trip was to the Kus- kokwim to procure fresh dogs for_ the company. He left St. Michael on Janu- ary 4, traveling over the divide from Rus- sian Mission to Bethel. Then he made a wide circle to the.south of the Kuskok- | wim over the tundra to the foothills, striking -the Kuskokwim again _at its | mouth, and from there back to St. Mi- chael on February 20 with twenty-five | dogs, which he procured for almost noth- | 1ng,h(he finest dogs being worth about $15 each. In the twenty-three Indian - villages | wim district he found only one stove, and | he says that Indians live in their igloos | all winter without any fire, keeping warm with reindeer skins and lving on raw blackfish and salmon. There is no wood for miles on the tundra until the moun- tains are reached and Corbusier went for | days without a fire, living, like the In- dians. on raw fishg Even at the village he was not able to procure even a cup of tea. | The dogs which Hastings and Corbusier took with them to Nome from St. Michael are part of those he obtained on his trip. | They are quite wild and never saw a horse until they reached Nome. The dogs | attempt to attack every horse they see, believing it some wild animal. L e e e e e o] AoKS SENATOR: 10 RECONGIDER South Carolina Governor Rejects the Resig- nations. COLUMBIA, S.

In returning the resignations of the Sen- rs the Governor in part writes: 1 respectfully return your resignation that you may have time for serious con- sideration of the effects upon the people of the State of this action.

The people are entitled to one year of peace and freedom from political battles and bitterness. The indications are that I-a campaign such as would be precipitated by vacancies in these two exalted posi- tions would be a very acrimonious one, and personal rather than a discussion of issues.

Exhibition of Work of the Pu- pils From That and the ‘Wilmerding. —_— The exercises of the graduating class of the-Lick School of Industrial Arts was held at the school bullding yesterday. There was also an exhibition of the work of the pupils, and a similar exhibi- tion of the work of the pupils of the Wil- merding School, which is affliated with the Lick School. In the morning there was a short pro- gramme in which there was an address by H. B. Vrooman, the representative of the Oxford movement here. He congrat- ulated the graduates upon the fact that the course of study which they had gone through had fitted them for creative work and had made them competent to make their way through the world with their hands as well as with their intellects. There were also piano solos by Marguer- ite Schleet and Clarence F. Bradford, and an invocation by Rev. E. F. Dinsmore. Frank J. Symmes, acting president of the board of directors of the school, presided. The exhibition of the work of the pupils caused a great deal of favorable com- ment. In the Lick School the course of study has been confined to the iron trades; in the Wilmerding School it has | been confined to the building trades, and |in each the exhibition of work showed remarkable proficiency. This plan of cooperation has been ent- | ered into within the last year. It was | found that it would be better for the | pupils and would more fully carry out the designs of the founders of each Insti- tution if they each took ug a certain branch of industrial work. It was this | idea which dictated the policy of estab- | lishing the iron trades in the Lick and | the building trades in the Wilmerding. | The qualifications for admission into | the Wilmerding _have been slightly | changed. It was Wilmerding’s wish that there should be plenty of work and not much study, so the half year of prelimin- | ary study will be abolished and with the | beginning of the new term students will | be put at work at once.
