-y " THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH."' SATURDAY, 'DECEMBER 26, 1891. 5 SAMOA'S BAD REBELS Befuse to Be Arrested, as They Don't Know the Supremo Court. KIXG MALIKTOA AFRAID TO ACT. His little irmj of 43 Braves Would Hare Too Bis a Job on Hand. THE GOVERNMENT VERY UNPOPULAR -riA, Samoa, Nov. 10. Chief Jnstice Gedergrantz has tried several civil cases f-ince his return from his vacation, but some dissatisfaction ha been found with the ver dicts rendered. In one case an English man, who was arrested by a native police man under warrant from a Samoan magis trate, prayed for damages, and, though the maijistnue acknowledged his error, Chief Justice Gederrantz dismissed the case on the ground that the white man was -in no lioJily danger, and could have registered had he wished. In another ease JIcArthur & Co. sued s-onie naties for debts due secured by mort fyge. The Cluet Justice dismissed this ca-e on the ground that chiefs who signed the deed had not rendered themselves per sonally liable, and the firm must wait the decision ot the Land Court as to land titles. -s most of these cases are against the na tHesontlie Wand of Savaii, ifmeansro one cm recover mortgage debts on that 5-land for at least two years, as it will be fully that time before the lands on Savaii can, be taken up by the Land Court. Kfhels Ignore the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice has stated in open Court that the natives need not be afraid to appear before him, as he is friendly dis posed to them; hut when he sent some sol diers down to Malie in charge of an officer of the Supreme Court to arrest some natives who had been summoned to answer charrcs of steeling swin.- they refused to obey the warrant. On the arrival of the officers he was informed by some of the lead ing rebel chiefs that he would not be al lowed to arrest men," as they did not know the Supreme Court. "When the Chief Justic found that his warrant had been defied, he wrote to King Mallet oa, suggesting that the Samoan army, which numbers 43 men, be sent to arrest tfie men wanted. The King, however, replied that the army would surelv be uusucessful, and in that event it would be necessary to muster his forces, which would mean war, as the other party would learn thereof as soon as his own people. The Chief Justice thtrcupon wrote to the liriti-h Consul.infonning himof these facts, aud demanding a British man-of-war to be at once tent to carrv out the mandates of his court. The chiefs who compose the native Government had a meeting and de cided to set their men together 10 attack the insurgents, holding that the longer the re bellion wj allowed to go on the more diffi cult it would be to break it up. Hoping; fcir an American Tresident. They cientuallv decided, however, to await the arrival of the neit mail from San Trarcico, hoping that a new President, cither an American or an Englishman, would be appointed, which it was thought would go lar toward settling the difficul ties between the naties. Many of the chiefs say that if the treaty power-, should request" Baron Von Senft, i're-idci!t of the Municipal Council of Apia, t withdraw his tendered resignation, trou ble would er.sue, a the natives havi no confidence in him. The Chief Justice has written to the Municipal Council, refusing to pavydntv on goods imported for his own use. "Consider ing that he is hung rent free, his refusal to jiav ihee di.tu-s, also, caused dissatisfaction to the names. There are ct six months before l.is term expire, in which alteration in tlie treaty mav be considered. In view of this short "period, it is thought the treat v powcrs mav request President Vonsenl't to continue in office until that time expires. It is believed that the American Govern ment has been fully informed on all points, Consul Sewell and ex-Laud Commissioner Ide being now in America. The little Samoan army costs the Eoernmcnt oer f 4,000 a year. It is com manded by Lieutenant Ulfsparre, w ho was tent here bv the treatv. CBEAK OF HAWAIIAN NEWS.

Favorable hopes for the future have been excited here by President Harrison's message to Congress, recommending the appropriation of a suf ficient sum to remove the obstructions in the entrance to Pearl harbor and allow the establishment of a United States coaling nation there.

Xew Philadelphia, O., Dec 25. a very singular incident has just come to ! light here. Thirty-one years ago James E. . n-Li -r T'mprnn tlipr si rociHont nf in An,,nfn i two miles south of this place, was kicked on I nft the thigh by one of his horses. The wound ' was severe, but after a time healed up, leaving a lump. Periodically since then it has given him more or less trouble, and a i.. w davs ago it became o painful that Mr. 5ncrson called a physician. The place where ' ne iiouna naa oeen was much mnamed. Poultices were applied, and in a day or two a piece of thick cloth, one and a halt inch in length by one-lourth of an inch wide, made its appearance. It was evidently a part of the pantaloons worn by Mr. Emerson when he was kicked. It had been forced into his thigh by the blow, and had been there thirty-one years. A MINT BPIS0DE EECALLED Bill Introduced Into the Senate by Don Otineron. Washington, Dec. 25. During ti e year 1885, when the late James C Booth was nielter and refiner at the Philadelphia mint, three bars of silver were missed and sup posed to have been stolen. The silver bars were in the legal custody of the melter and refiner, and he was, therefore, responsible for them. It was shown that the limited accommodations of the mint did not per mit proper t-torage to be furnished, but this fact did not relieve Mr. Booth from legal liability, and he was compelled to make good the loss by paying to the Government the sum of M,842, which was iu full for the cost value of the 1,081 ounces of silver bullion lost. The loss of the J bullion -was through no fault of Ir. Booth, and Senator Cameron has introduced a bi'l directive the Secretary of the Treasury to return the amount paid by Mr. Booth to his. heirs. Tne bill is befoie the Committee"" on Finance. TOO SOON TO FIGURE On How T-arso the City Tax Valuation 'Wilt Be for Next Year All Appeals Tet to Be Heard Improved Street and Neir Property "Will sWPn the Amount Assessors Have Big "Work Ahead. 2Tow that the chiefs of departments have announced their estimates of next year's expenses the question of what the tax rate will be is uppermost As vet there can be nothing but speculation on this score as the whole question rests on the result of the assessors' work. Until the tax valua tion is fixed there can be nothing definite said about the millage. From present indications the Board of Assessors will not have a reasonably correct estimate of the valuation before the latter part of next month. As previously stated in Tun Dispatch, the delay has resulted from having to wait for the completion of of County Assessors books for comparison. Of all the wards in the city only three have been completed in such a manner as to be of any service. The City Assessors have not been able to complete one ward upto this time, and there is nothing from which a definite idea can be obtained. The Valuation lncres.se to Be Large. But it is a conceded fact that the increase in valuation will be large. Perhaps it will be sufficient to supply all the increase asked to operate the departments without any higher tax rate than the present. Ont in the East End there are scores of valuable properties heretofore assessed as rural. This year they will be transferred to the regular city class, and will be taxed accordingly. This will be done en every street that has been paved during the past year. Then there are hundreds of new houses to be assessed aud taxed for the first time. Taken altogether the increase may amount to 530,-; 000,000, which would make the entire valu ation S210.000.000. The Assessor's office Is jnst now the bus iest place about City HalL It will remain so all through the month of January, when the clerks will have to work day and night. The three wards now in from the County Assessors are the Fifteenth, Twenty-fourth and Thirtieth. Appeals will be heard from the Fifteenth from December 29 to January 2. For the Twenty-fourth ward appeals will he heard from December 30 to January 3. The time for the Thirtieth ward has ot yet been fixed. Before the Assessors can furnish Councils the necessary estimate of the valuation every ward in the city must be properly advertised and appeals heard on the assessment. These appeals frequently result in changes in the books, taking plenty of time and work. Difficulties for the Assessors. "We have a hard job ahead," said As sessor Larkin yesterday. "I cannot give any estimate as to the valuation, as not even one ward has been completed from which to fignre on. There will doubtless be a large increase. It is impossible to sav when we will be through, having to wait for-the connty books." Persons who have built homes during the past year will save considerable to them selves and the Board of Assessors by calling at the office of the latter and making affi davit to the cost of their property. HE WAS IN BAD SHAPE. An Unfortunate Man Whose Stomach Was a Llznrd Tank. Haxover. Pa., Dec 23. Daniel Jlum mert, a farmer living near East Berlin, Adams county, this State, had been suffer ing for some time past, from what was sup posed to be pulmonary consumption. A week or so ago he was seized with a vio lent spell of vomiting, and expelled six small lizards from his stomach. His condi tion became worse, and on Saturday last he died. It was found that his stomach was literally alive with the reptiles. Mr. Mum mcrt was a Supervisor in Paradise town ship, and in the course of his work fre quently drank from springs by the road- siae, anu it is mougnt mat in mis way ne got the lizards while very young in his stomach.

Thousands of Spectators Visit the Scene of the Early Morning Explosion All Won der How the fritchards Were Found Alive Condition of the Injured. The scene of yesterday morning's exphv sion on Smallman street attracted, many thousands of spectator?. All day a crowd thronged around the ruins. The chief topic of conversation was the miraculous escape from death of the inmates. The sight was indeed a curious one. The wreck is one mass of debris. Not even the semblage of a building is left. Piles of brick and mor tar, with here and there some article of household furnltnre or grocery stock is visible in the pile. Hanging by the chain to a portion of the wreck is a small silver watch which had stopped at 123 o'clock, showing that Christmas had just begno wheu the explosion occurred. The rear portion of the building was a frame struc ture, and the sides were burst out, allowing the roof to drop down in such a position that it hung like a canopy over the ruins. In the yard a few chickens were wandering about and a large Newfoundland dog was lying on the top of its kennel seemingly wondering what it was all about A visit was paid to the West Penn . Hos pital, where it was learned that the victims were all doing very well. Mr. Pritchard was the worst injured. His hands were badly burne,d and his face scorched.

The youngest child suffered a slight fracture of .the skulT, but was doing well. The other two were uninjured and were removed to the homes of their grandparents in Allegheny yester day.
