Close to the head of the shaft it is closed 'by head blocks. •Price's orders -were to approach the breaker with the engine at the head of the train.

Vancouver, B. C., Nov. s.—News from Samoa is not very quieting. The board of control during the present interregnum hadseveral meetings and then spit up. The consuls of Germany, the United States and England, and the two treaty officials, did not work harmoniously’ together. Wliat this board really intended to do has never been ascertained, but it is be lieved that the president desired to take charge of the Samoan government and to run the whole thing himself, with occa sional help from the chief justice. When the steamer Aerangi left Australia it was learned That the relationship be tween the British consul and President R.-iff el was strained. The president was inclined to give in. but he finds if difficult to extricate him self from differences in which he has be come involved by hts own acts. Mean while Mataafa was noting when the mail left that some of the people, urged on by a section «y. foreigners, are advocating the abolishment »<t she kingship. There are others who are desirous of making the ex periment of runring the country without a king for six or twelve months. This plan may reeejye favorable from the chief jusr tjee, who actually has full power in the matter. The treaty in section 6of article 3 confers upon him the duty of settling toe kingship. The country is so far quiet, but chi. state is owing entirely to the presence of a warship. Engineer Chambers. from America, has arrived at Apia to superintend the work of the American government for building a coaling station at Pago Bay. The con templated operations of the United States are viewed with dislike by the German authorities, and it is expected that a pro test will be made by them against it.

TROUBLED SEAS Successful Experiment Tried by Captain of North Ger man Llovd Vessel. SOAPSUDS AS 0 INGREDIENT 01 the Composition that Caused the Seas to Subside and Will Prove of Great Value in Future. By /Associated Press. INcw York, Nov. s.—Captain H. Carthe mann. of the North German Lloyd steam ship Oldenburg, has just made public the results of a series of experiments with oil and soap suds in quieting the sea in the vicinity of the ehip during a storm. (He began his experiments in December, 1897, on a voyage from Baltimore to Bre men, and used vegetable or whale oil to great advantage. He allowed the oil to drop from a series of buckets arranged in the bow of the ship. Thd wind at the time was west-northwest, with a very rough sea. The speed of the ship was about twelve and a half knots, the temperature of the air was forty-eight degrees fahren heit and of the sea fifty-seven degrees. Presently the waves, which had been breaking over the snip, became remarka bly quiet and the sea within several hun dred yards of the ship became calm. The captain used about two and one haif pounds of oil in an hour during the ex periment. He was very much gratified at the result. In January, 1898, Captain Gathemann began trying soap suds. The mixture con sisted of 15 pounds of genese soap and 40 pound.-, of tweet water and as in the case of the oil, buckets were used from wWt-h the soap suds dripped into the ocean. The wind was north by west, the speed of the ship over twelve knots and the tempera ture of the air and sea about the same as in the experiment with the oil. The soap suds.could be plainly seen floating on the surface of the water until a wave struck them and.then they quickly disapeared. No quieting effect was noticeable on the sea, however, and when the buckets were empty they ewre quickly filled with oil and prsently the sea again became calm. Captain Gathemann reports that he has experimented with soap suds several times during his voyages this year, but never find 'them efficacious and also resorted to . oil with good results. IN HAVANA.

The local papers say that the American commissioners have forwarded the peti tion to Captain General ‘Blanco but it is safe to assume that they have taken no steps in the matter as it'would be entirely ■outside their province. General Butler called at the palace and had an interview with General Blanco but the American ■commissioner says the visit was entirely 'unofficial. Rear Admiral Sampson and his party have returned on the Scorpion from a pleasure trip to Mariel.

This morning he h’eld an formal reception in the office of Major Symons. Later he was given a drive over the city and through the five acre tracts. He was much impressed with, the growth and importance of the Colony and city. His visit to the Grant-Lee Hotel showed hint whqt had been done by our citizens. “At 2:30 o’clock he was escorted to the Opera house by the committee and made one of his telling speeches for Georgia and good government. He impressed the colony soldier vote with the importance’of stand ing together for the good of white su premacy and beter government. He paid his respects to those who came from the West and North and settled in our midst. , His remarks were highly appreciated and he has cemented the friendship already existing for Congressman Brantley. The senate'- stands ready at any time to do all in his power to aid this magic city in every way. and predicts for us a bright future. His speech was well received by the- large audience present and all were pleased to listen to one who stands so high in our nations council. The speech will do. much to cojise the white people to vote for Brantley, as the colonists under no circumstances will take any chances on a fusion Congressman. Senator Bacon will leave this afternoon at 5 o'clock, for hrs home in Macon, btit he may feel assured that Fitzgerald appreciates his coming and will be pleased to welcome him at any time in the future he may be able to pay us a visit.” Having completed his good work in the Eleventh Senator Bacon now thinks he is entitled to a rest.

Engagement in ‘‘The Med dler” to Begin [at the Academv Tonight, The event in local theatrical circles for the present week is undoubtedly the first production at the Academy of Music to night of Augustus Thomas’ much heralded comic comedy, “The Meddler,” which is to be presented at that play house by Stuart Robson and an assisting company of play ers whose reputation in the theatrical fir mament are beyond cavil- “The Meddler”, is said to be written in Mr. Thomas’ most facetious vein and to be interspersed with many witty and epi grammatical lines, which, while bearing the stamp of the French scholl, do not, as its so often the case with these import ed manuscripts, offend the ear by their delivery. One c. Mr. Robson's New York critics, in reviewing the production of “The Med dler” in that city is responsible for the assertion that the part of Francis Eli, the meddler, which Mr. Robson assumes in the comedy, “was built to fit Mm like a moist bathing suit.” Be that as it may, the fact remains that Stuart Robson and “The Meddler” haye beep received with unstinted acclaim wherever this popular star and that funny play have been intro duced during- the current sesaon.
