Esaassgi I : f THE SMOAJf ISLES. Characteristics of the People Who Inhabit the Disturbed Group. UAK IKTELLIGEKT, AMIABLE EACE Who LiTed on Good Terms With America Until Germany Interfered. CAUSE OF THE EECEXT U1BK0GLI0. Wly Bismarck Has Encouraged War and Fostered Hatred of America. The Samoan or Navigators' group of (islands are in the South Pacific Ocean, in latitude 14 degrees south and longitude 172 degrees west, and lie directly west of the coast of Peru. They have an area of 2,650 square miles and a population approxi mating 33,000, not including the laborers in troduced from other islands to cultirate cot ton and cocoanut. The native Samoan in stature is tall, says a trriter in the "Washington Post, inclined to be robust, and of a bright copper color, more pleasing than the dull tint of the Sandwich Islander. His strength is stu pendous, and his endurance a marvel, only equaled by his chivalrous bearing toward those to whom he is opposed cither in battle or native sports. So chivalrous are they that when two armies are opposed an attack is never made without first notifying the other side, to allow the women and children to be removed to a place of security. If the party notified be not ready lor the attack, information to that effect causes a postponement to another 'designated time. When the battle com mences it is a bloody one, and noted tor many feats of personal bravery. HANDSOME -WOMEN-. The women are of medium height with finely formed limbs and plump in figure, and many have beautiful laces. The eyes 'are the attractive features, being dark and J soft, with unusuallv long, drooping lashes, combined with pleasing smiles; which greet the stranger on every side, and impress him at once with their amiability and kindly .le'eling. Virtue and industry are their teaching, and, in fact, the greatest of all ceremonies is the courtship and wedding. The social relations of the islanders are marked in the different castes. Each village has a chiefwho governs by right of birth, liis ancestors having lived in the village for hundreds of years, occupying the same frame of the houses the central irame sup ports being an heirloom of many hundred 3 ears back. The island is governed by a king and two assemblies, called a "J?ono," a kind of upper and lower house; the mem bers of the two bodies representing villages and localities all over the islands. Their oratory is very effective and full of grace, combining an earnestness and gravity pe culiar only to these people. Malietoa, the rightful King, who was enticed on board of a German man-of-war and is now a prisoner in Germany, is an old man of 78, and his next of kin is carrying on the war against Tamasese, who is in open rebellion at the instigation of the Germans. GERMANS FOMENT STRIFE. About the year 1880, a United States man-of-war visited Samoa and found the country convulsed in war. The pretender, Tamasese, was in open rebellion against the rightful TKing, Malietoa, assisted by the German in fluence in Samoa and backed up by a Ger man man-of-war. The real object ot the Germans doing business on the islands in instigating war is the opportunity offered to trade arms for land. As the war progresses the native is forced to part with his land for arms and ammunition, all of iufcrior type, f -Afe 1 zr ;g"W 5KT Ep't&wfttuv. A Tonga Souse, at immense prices. In this way the Ger man business houses have acquired great tracts of land throughout the islands. This is the reason, pure and simple, why there is any war or strife in the land. The natives are not warlike by nature, but rather mild mannered, fall of sympathy, and averse to bloodshed; in fact, murders are almost un known among them. But a short time ago the German residents were opposed to the islands passing under the protectorate ot Germany or any other country, because with it would follow cus toms, taxes and a cessation of hostilities, consequently a loss of trade in ammunition and arms; but having stripped the natives of their best land and incurred the ill will of all the other foreigners, especially the Americans, they are soliciting a German protectorate as the only means of holding their ill-gotten property. The German pro tectorate scheme under their influence would Boon come to a focus, which means the utter annihilation of the natives and the total absorption of the islands. UNCLE SAM'S POLICY. The history of the Sandwich Islands is Well known, not only in the Samoan group, ' but throughout the South Sea Islands. The policy of the United States with the Sand wich Islands was "hands off" to all European nations, and to allow the natives to form a government of their own. This policy was dictated by humanity and justice to the owners of the land, and moral influ ence was all that was necessary to ac complish this end. The United States then practically guaranteed similar protection for the other important islands of the Pa cific, ana, with this precedent, it requires but a word of vigorous protest to indicate our wishes, and the people are left un molested. As before stated, the American influence predominates throughout all the islands be cause of the earlier treatment of the Sand wich Islands by our Government. These islands were settled by American whalemen from 2few Bedford "and other Kew En-, gland ports. American missionaries soon followed. "When the islands became of borne importance both the English and Germans commenced to scheme for their possession just as the Germans arc doing now in Samoa: First, by inciting a faction of natives against the Government, sup porting and supplying arms and ammuni tion to the .insurgents. Under these condi tions either one er the other party is in duced to seek the protection of those insti gating the war. The action of the United States Government, on the contrary, was , to foster and strengthen the native Govern- i " t ,suANDS C - s4moAN JjgJ m A t SM lffltaPrsSS8ffiSE& - -C7 ment, expressing no wish by word or action to take away the country from its rightful owners. "While we did not take possession ox the Sandwich Islands we stood to the front and with a Christian policy forbade any Euro pean country from pouncing down upon them. The disinterested conduct of our Government toward the Sandwich Islands is a part of the teachings of the natives throughout all the principal islands. Na tive missionaries are sent out by the white missions in the Sandwich Islands, and have carried glowing news ot the native Govern ment of their islands under the friendly care of the American Government. In re verse of the kindly treatment of the Amer ican is the harsh, inhuman policy of the English, French and Germans. REBELS BACKED BY GERMANY. The theory is simple but effective. Insti gate war among the natives and aid and abet the revolting side, who, when driven to extremes, seek the protectorate, which means the absolute possession by the Christian nation which has stirred up the strife. As in the case of the Samoans, the revolting party is the one led by Tamasese and backed by the Germans. Tamasese claims to be the rightful King, which probably never would have occurred to him had the Germans not put it into his head. Protectorate leads at once into absolute possession, and the native is put to work on the roads and other labor to which he is totally unaccustomed. The result is the de struction and debasement ot the men and women, whose island homes are seized and the production in many cases of a race of white vagabonds much inferior to the natives. The contrast between such treatment and the course of the United States with the Sandwich Islands is the cause of the friend ly feeling for us, wnich, in the Samoan, is a confidence amounting to affection. A part of the tactics of the Germans is to flood their newspapers with reported outrages by Americans. On the very face of these re ports is the stamp of falsehood, as the fol lowing will show: In 1881, Tamasese signed an acknowledg ment that Malietoa was the rightful King. The document was signed on board of an American man-of-war and witnessed by the Consuls and many natives. Yet the Germans are now putting this man forward as King, with armed assistance, and accuse the Americans of interference because they will not recognize the fraud. "With the exception of the islands being ei tirely American in their sentiments which the Germans cannot overcome, this is the only cause of complaint; yet their pa pers are teeming with abuse of us, while we are supposed to say nothing about the inter ruption of American trade in the islands, which is carried on through our citizens do ing business with California. The position of the English in regard to the islands is an undoubted grasping desire for their possession and a tear of their going into other hands. Their timidity toward the Germans prevents a bold assertion of her designs and leads her into a weak siding with the Americans. At the first sign of resentment by the Germans they unhesi tatingly betray the Americans and their newspapers commence to publish false state ments in regard to us. Since both the Germans and English are playing the same game in the seizureof islands in the Pacific there is a sympathy, at least of purpose, which has heretofore in fluenced the English to deceive the Ameri cans, and although they have in a manner sided at times with ns they have so often violated the confidence of our people in the islands that it is almost looked upon now as a fixed scheme from the commencement to betray their trust at a critical moment. The Samoans are not ignorant savages, but in many cases educated men. It may sound strange, but nevertheless true, that a greater per cent of the Samoans can read and write than is the case with the popula tion of this very city; more than half the population of Samoa are Christians who read their Bible and live within its teach ings. CATCHING EATE CUTTERS. The Chicago Rnd Alton Road Now Accused of Breaking Its Faith. (SPECIAL TELEGKAM TO TUB DISPATCH. NEW York, January 24. A dispatch to this effect has been received from Chicago by General Eastern Agent McClellan, of the "Wabash: From advices received from Kansas City it is learned that the Chicago and Alton Company has been caught cutting rates to Boston via the Bee line, and that their agent, one Mr. Mc Keon, has been fined therefor $150 by the Kansas City local association. The local association mentioned in the message is one of the city agents of the "Western lines, similar to that of general Eastern agents, who promise to use every endeavor to keep agreements entered into by their superiors and maintain rates. In Kansas City each of the agents made a deposit of 150, and if the rates are carried out by McKcon he will lose that amount, presumably from his own pocket, but in reality it will come out of the road, if the lacts alleged are true. . The "Wabash people have prosecuted the charges against the Alton agent, and the sterythat theyhave been substantiated by the local associations may be taken with some allowance. The Alton is not one of the roads that agreed to bounce its agents if caught cutting rates. M'CAUSLAKD MURDER TEIAL Slowly Drnc&inK Along Defense Trying to Impeach the Credibility or Witnesses.

ENGAGED AT THE AGE OP ELEVEN And Gayly Wedded at the End of Fifteen Southern Summers. LEE IS THE 0HLY MAN SHE EVER L0TED. She Is Frond of Her Eon's Act In Bhootinff the Million aire Banter. Mrs. Bawson testified in her own behalf yesterday in the suit against her for shoot ing Lawyer "Whitney. She gave a very sensational story of her life. She has been married three times, the first time at the age of 15. She knew her son was going to shoot Bawson, and was proud of the act. At one time she contemplated suicide and the mur der of her little daughter. Chicago, January 25. The trial of Sirs. Bawson for the shooting of Lawyer "Whit ney a few months ago was continued to-day. Mrs. Bdrson was cross-examined by Mr. Elliott, attorney for the State. She con trolled herself, as a rule, but occasionally, when she thought unnecessary questions were being insisted on, she gave the attor ney "a piece of her mind" in a short, incis ive way, with the result that as a rule that particular line ot inquiry was abandoned. The lady gave, in response to questions, a running accout of her life, telling how, at the age of 13 years, she became a teacher in New Orleans, of which city her father was an old resident. At 15 years she was mar ried to John Slaymaker, a Bed River pilot, to whom she had been engaged since she was 11 years old. Slaymaker, who was en caged in the cotton trade, was paid $1,500 per month. The witness described him as who spent most of his money for drink." She lived with him six years. HER ONLY LOVE. At this point the court interrupted this line of questioning, and Mr. Elliott tool up Mrs. Bawson's experience with Charles G. Lee, her second husband. She said he was a wealthy young man of good family. She married him at the age of 23 years. She said she lived with him very happily part of the time, as he was the only man she ever loved, but he was dissipated and once had delirium tremens. He was very high tempered, and once, on a railroad train, be fired a revolver bullet through the door of a sleeper because it did not open readily when he wanted to get into it, he having left her there, going lorward to the smoker after a row with the conduc tor, growing out of the fact that that official had complied with her request for a glass of water. This incident was magnified into a great shooting affray, involving the question of the witness' reputation. After living with Lee a year and a half she secured a divorce from him. NUMBER THREE. Her next matrimonial venture was with Banker Bawson, of Chicago. She said she was not desperately in love with him, but tried to make him happy. The examina tion continued: "Do you think Mr. Bawson loved you?" "I don't think so. If he had he never would have preferred a servant to his wife. He never would have told me to go while the servant stayed. One trouble between us was the question of religion. I am sorry I am not a Christian, but I am no hypocrite. Mr. Bawson wanted me to teach Sunday school and lead the Sewing Circle, and I would not do it. He used to pay his son I"red 10 cents a hymn for reading to him." "You said yesterday, Mrs. Bawson, that you would attend to Matt Hogan later. What did you mean by that 1" "I'll tell you what I meant, Mr. Elliott I intended to have Matt Hogan, Mrs. Hamil ton and L. H. Bisbee arrested for conspiracy in going before the grand juryand-swearing as they did, for it was conspiracy. You will have the pleasure of prosecuting them, Mr. Elliott." CONTEMPLATED SUICIDE. These are the persons who testified against Mrs. Bawson, and whose evidence before that body was read in court on the day be fore yesterday. Mrs. Bawson declared that at one time while married to Mr. Bawson she became so desperate that she had de termined to kill herself and her little daugh ter, "Dot," "Witness showed hr southern blood when the cross-examiner reached the shooting of Banker Bawson by her son. She said she knew her son had a pistol be fore the shooting, and felt that he would shoot Bawson that no boy could avoid do ing so. "I love that boy for what he did, and honored him for it. I am proud of that boy-" "Now, Mrs. Bawson," broke it Mr. Crews, "you are getting excited and losing yonr head. Be quiet." "Don't get excited," said Judge Tuthill. "I can't help it, Judge," said the witness, wringing her hands, "I am all unstrung. For three years I have had no rest." At this point a recess was taken by the court.

Great excitement being created by the late Supreme Court decision on the Edison patents, the following will be read with in terest: New Yobk, January 24, 1889. To the Kditor of the Dispatch : I have been informed by telegraph of arti cles in the Pittsburg papers concerning the recent Supreme Court decision in the inter est of the Edison Company. The Edison Company knows perfectly well that it can only get an advantage from this decision by appealing to the ignorance of the public on this matter. They cannot stop anyone un der any of their patents until each case has been tried on its merits, and the facts war rant me in saying that by reason of our con trol of the United States Electric Company, the Edison Company itself will soon be compelled to secure from the "Westinghouse Company the necessary permission to con tinue its business.

At 9 o'clock this morning Francisco deLuska, the Italian detective who figured so prominent ly in the McCIure murder case, arrived in this city, having in custody another of the gang who planned and executed the murder of Contractor McFadden's young paymas ter. The prisoner is Zeffa Beverino, a cousin of Bed-Nosed Mike and a brother of Antonio Beverino, the blacksmith, who took the chief part in the shooting and is now in Italy. The nrisoner was arrested as an accessory before and after the fact He was one of the first in the plot to murder the paymas ter. He, Mike and another man whose name has not been given out were the orig inal planners of the crime. Consequently Beverino, the blacksmith, was admitted to the secret, and then Villalla, the other Italian, who is now in Italy. As the time approached, however, Beverino declined or avoided taking any part in the murder. He promised, however, to say nothing, and, after the crime was completed, obtained a good share of the boodle from Bed-Nosed Mike as the price of his silence. Last night DeLuska and his prisoner passed up the Central Railroad and visited the spot where the boodle was found and the rifle recovered. They must have remained all night in the vicinity. On arrival in this city the prisoner was brought to the Ex change Hotel, where they were soon after joined by Captain Linden. A long confer ence was held in a private room, during which the conversation was interpreted by De Luska and reduced to writing by Cap tain Linden. The detectives absolutely re fuse to make public the contents of this paper. The prisoner was subsequently taken before 'Squire Booney and given a private hearing with locked doors, at the end of which Beverino was committed to jail- for a further hearing, and was taken thereby DeLuska.

The materials accumulated in their re searches are made capital use of by our Author, who gives a free rein to his imaginative faculties when working out the details of his plots. The first part will consist of the Sketch Before the Curtain, and the Opening Chapters of The Cross Hall Tragedy. BEAD THE ROMANCE OF AfflMJRANOE OFFICE A SERIES OF SHORT STORIES BY J.
