CIIICAOO. July lit , f
The Ilowell lumber company has alrcad )
decided upon Its plan of procedure under the
financial distress , which has overtaken It
The first shock of the mammoth failure whlcl
nwopt east from Kansas , striking the Chicago
end of the business , was llko a tornado , being
over , the management of the company Is col
lecting IU entire strength to make nn effort
to tide over the storm that threatens to wipe
tbo firm out of existence.
President S. It. Ilowell will not down. Ho
believes the company can adjust the trouble
and again resume biiilncss.
"Unless , " said ho , "tho liabilities of the
western branches of the business are greater
than wo expect , I believe wn can pull through
in a short time. "
This Is the opinion of Frank Walker , of
Walker & Judd , who Is ono of the attorneys
for the firm. Mr. Ilowell .spent moat of last
night .In consultation with Attorney Walker ,
and the result of their conference was that
the firm should not down , but make n light
for life.
The first step tmvnrd this end Is to satisfy
thu claim of the Firnt National bank of this
city. An effort will bo made to raise this
amount , J200.000 , as Ttoon as possl bio. That
off the hands of the company it Is said that
backing sufficient to pull it through can bo

bad.Tho
The firm is one of the most extensive In the
lumber tradoof the west , and until within a
few weeks past It has bnd a first class rating
in the books of nil commercial agencies.
With two yards in Chicago , monster
dry kilns and costlv planing mills ,
branch yards In Omaha and AtchlsoD ,
from which radiated a system ol
smaller yards that furnished nearly nil the
lumber used in the states nt Kansas unc
Nebraska , its prosperity seemed unbonded.
Though the firm nnmu of S. R. Ilowell it Co.
was used in the business it was generally
understood that Spencer R. Ilowell was the
solo proprietor of the Chicago interests nt
least. In Kansas and Nebraska a variety ol
firm names wcro used for the purpose of
dispelling too Impression that the ChliMgo
man ivas carrying on a monopoly of the
lumber business of those states. The Omaha
branch was operated under thu title of thu
Ilowell lumber company , which was not
an incorporated concern , nnd then there
wore combinations in which tbo names of Mr.
Ilowell nnd bis manager , Jewctt , figured as
in a partnership. The Kansas business was
conducted end largely owned by Ueorgo W.
Howcll , whoso headquarters are atAtchlson.
It was this end of the business that caused
all the trouble. George W. Howell begun
operations In Kansas when the state was iu n
fair condition of prosperity. Ho established
yards in nearly every railroad town that was
worth doing business in and for awhile his
aggregate sales were enormous.
But n change came nnd Kansas began to
retrograde. Tbo people in the western part
cf the state where many of the yards were
located deserted tholr farms and loft the
state. Many of them were in George How-
ell's debt and to protect hiiiisolf ho bnd to
tnko their lands as security. In many cases
ho advanced money to get a clear title to
farms that looked llko deslrablu holdings ,
and In this way bo loaded himself up to nn
extent that forced him to call on his brother
in Chicago for assistance. Then he cot
tanclod up In the affairs of J. H. Bemis , a
lumberman of Jefferson , Tex. , who recently
wont under to the extent of nearly
$1,000,000. Mr. Howell of Kansas ,
played a conspicuous role in that
commercial tragedy. ' When ho hoard
how bard'pressod Bemis was ho gathered to
gether nil the securities and collaterals ho
could lny his hands on , chartered a special
train and made arrangements to bo carried
through to Jefferson from Atchison at the
Highest rate of speed the railroad would
undertake to mako. It was necessary for
Mr. Ilowell to bo in JouVrson nt - o'clock on
a certain day , or his wild ride would count
for nothing. Ho got to Jefferson on time ,
unloaded his securities on the banks , that
were si-coding from Bemis and tried in many
other ways to check the tide that had turned
against that unlucky traders , but It was nil
lavain. BemMs went under.
Mr. ilowoll's mntcorio performance at
tracted public attention to binisolf alt over
' the country , and while sentimental pcoplo
regarded his exploit in the light of a deed of
heroism the cold and calculating business
man of figures looked upon it onlv from the
Blaudpomtof results. Whom Bemis failed
Ilowell's creditors wondered how badly How
ell bnd boon bitten. This sort of inquiry ex
tended even to S. It. Howell ol Chicago ,
because it was known that the brothers
sustained relations of close intimacy.
It was alsoon net that these rela
tions had assumed the form of
financial transactions almost colossal In tholr
proportions. When George Ilowell was In
the deepest straits his brother entered into
an arrangement with him whereby ho would
put his personal paper on the market with
endorsement of llouell it Jcwott. This was
equivalent to almost unlimited credit , nnd
Mr. Howell of Kansas exorcised the wiUust
possible latitude in using it. From Informa
tion that has reached S. R. Howell during the
past few days there is every reason to be
lieve that paper amounting to between $000-
000 nnd $700,000 , Issued bv George Howell
and hearing the endorsement of Howell it
Jcwett , Is on the market in various cities of
the south and southwest.

Thechlut toplo of conversation on the board
of trade Just now Is the proposed change of
the rules to permit the deliver } ' of No. 1 and
No. 'J hard winter wheat on contracts for
future delivery. Some of the members claim
that any arrangement which will permit the
flooding of this market with wheat which
they claim Is undesirable , muklnir It deliver
able on future contracts , would kill Chlcngn
as a speculative center. It Is asserted that
the elevator men are backing thu schema
becniuo they xvould , in cast ) of Its adoption ,
bo able to deliver this undesirable grain on
regular contracts , whllo they would bo able
to held regular No. 3 red and No. 'J spring
for thu premium that would surely bo offered
by pcoplo who use wheat. They ny
that no ono wants "bard" winter -
tor wheat and that it never sells
legitimately on u parity with No. J spring
and No. 'J ml. The only reason It is bringing
the same prices nt present , they say , U because -
cause thcro Is a combination at elevator and
sample mon who uro manipulating the hard
wheat market so that It shall sell at the satnu
prices as the other grades nnd give thorn a
chance to argue that It U as good us the bettor -
tor wheat because it sells for as much. A
proposition of this character made to tlio
directors aomo Uinq ago was rejected by
thorn. Then the members who fuvorod the

AFTER MONTHS OF MISERY ,
Suffering Samoan Warriors Being Returnee
to Their South.
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF THE MZN
Seduced from Homo l y n Frenk
Catcher and Exposed to Cor-
tnln Death to Satisfy
His Cupidity.
Few If any of the hundreds of pcoplo
standing on the platforms at tbo union depo
yesterday nftornoon during the brief stop o
the Union Pacific west-hound overland trnlt
knew of the interesting group that occupici
ono of the Wagner sleepers.
They wcro four native Sumoans , the sur
vivors of n hand of nlno who left thclc
Island homo thrco years aio , nnd have boon
exhibited as freaks on stages iu musccs ol
over this country and Europe , Compelled
to appear in the scanty clothlnir whlcl
they had worn at homo , the rigor a
n northern cllmato proved too mtict
for them nnd ono by ono they succumbed to
consumption , and-tho dread disease lias fas
tened Itself deeply on the quartette of luck
leas survivors. Ono of them will undoubt
edly dlo before the const Is reached , but the
others will live to see again the tropical Isle
toward which they have looked for months
with yearning ; but hopeless hearts.
The story of their sufferings is a long one ,
but would iimica a chapter that for keen lu-
teroJt and surprising revelation Is seldom
surpassed.
A BHK reporter met the party at the trans
fer , and during the trip across the river was
told tho. talo. Their unfortunate condition
was discovered by a reporter of the Now
York World in the nation's metrop
olis sorno three weeks ago , anil
as u result of his untiring efforts ,
ably seconded by * the powerful inllucnco ol
that paper , the government authorities took
the muttnr in hand , released the luckless
aborigines from their murclloss manngorj anO
am now si'iidini ? them homo to Samoa in care
of Air. Van Cullen Jones , the reporter , who
took the Initial stops toward liberating thorn
from their pitiable thralldorn.
Story of the Storm.
Thcso Samoans are Mauogl. Toslta , Fol
and Mua. Muiiogi la a famous warrior , now
wasting from consumption. Ho was taken
from a bed in Bellevue hospital. Tasita , tbo
hnndsomo ono , has already boon attacked
with tuBt-diseaso. Foi and Mua are in mor
tal terror of it.
Of the rest of those who loft Samoa. Atofau
died in Belgium , Tu died in Kolu , Germany ,
nnd Latutigalfo died In Denver. His body is
now exhibited in a Denver uudertalcingestab-
lisfunent as a specimen of successful em
balming.
A great gale which swept over Samoa In
March , 1839 , attracted the attention of the
whole world by its ravages In Pago-Pago
harbor , Island of Tutulla. The United States
warships Trenton and Vandalla were
wrecked , with two Gorman and English war
vessels. Gallant rescues of llfovors made
by the natives , in which Manocl and Latun-
galfo performed marvels of valor.
International complications which Involved
Germany nml the United States also at
tracted attention to Samoa. II. A. Cunning
ham , n noted frcalr catcher , wno secured the
"wild nion of Borneo,1 set out to induce
some Samoans to go away with him. Ho was
ordered by King Motaafu to lenvo. At the
island of Tutuila eighteen men were secured ,
but It was necessary to return to Upoluin ,
the king's island , to catch an American
steamer. The party , with impedimenta suit
able for exhibitions , embarked at night in a
cockle-shell boat for the voyage of seventy
miles.
After a night of fearful experience morning
revealed the shores of Upoluout oft Apia , but
as the steamer was delayed , Cunningham
kept away from shore for fear of capture by
Mutaafa. Hunger and thirst had about
forced the party to land , when the Almoda
appeared and toolc them aboard. Mataafa
sent raessaces warning the natives of the fate
that would befall them. Before the Alumoda
sailed nine of the Samoans escaped to the
shore by swimming. The rest were brought
to America.
Their Slavery Commenced.
The freak-catcher boasted that ho had ac
complished what old white sealers of the
islands claimed was Impossible. Ho had suc
ceeded in taking natives away from the
islands. The South Sea Islanders uro all
largo men and women , and those now going
homo were once splendid specimens of physi
cal manhood. They are tall , straight and
possessed of great muscular power. Their
skin is very dark , but exquisitely line and
smooth. Except as to color they boar no resemblance -
semblance to the negro , their features very
much resembling the natives of the celestial
ompiro. Their hair is perfectly black
nnd grows in such abundance that it
forms a head dress a foot high
when properly arranged. Their features
are good , their eyes largo and calm
and their foreheads high. They ave all great
athletes , especially in water , being unexcelled
as swimmers. Both mon and women plunge
through the surf and swim out to vessels at
anchor in the harbor.
At San Francisco when the band was first
exhibited they were seen by Laulll , a Sa
moan woman who had married nn English
man nnd lived In that city. She was infatu
ated with this sight of her countrymen and
the music of her sott native language and de
serted her husband nnd two children. She
traveled with the band until they reached
Chicago. Then Cunningham's manager as
saulted Lnulii , which so enraged the band
that they tried to kill him. The manager
was discharged and Laulil sent away. She
finally drifted bank to Samoa.
During the winter of 18S15-00 the Samoans
were exhibited throughout the United State ;
In dime museums and concert halls. They
sang war songs and performed nativodancos.
The museum stages are beset with cold
draughts , yet the Samoans were compelled to
go upon thorn with booties nnd legs bare.
They were only a breech-clout. In the biting
cold of the north the mon were as nalcod us
when they roamed over the verdure clad hills
of their equatorial homo or battled in the
tepid waves of the southern seas.
Gllmnto Killed Them.
These strong men blanched before the rav
ages of the cold. Consumption threatened
them. In vain did they plead to bo allowed
to wear some covering when on the stage.
Cunningham sternly refused. They were
lodged in cheap hotels and in cold rooms.
While the manager reaped a golden harvest
they wero- paid but JIU.50 a month each.
Scanty savings were given the manager and
Imvo never been seen since. Before crossing

Then The VTorld Took Hold.
Whllo In Now York , last winter they were
overjoyed at mooting J , O. Dottorwlch , who
had lived In Samoa nnd spoke their language
In their misery tbo mon sent for him ani
told tholr sud story. It was printed Immed
iately.
Help must como riBobco , as they were waitIng -
Ing only for winter to end tholr slavery for
all time. Even Iu IUU summer weather ol
ours they wcro cold. Compelled to sign a
contract at the end bf'tho first year for thrco
years more , they saw nothing ahead bul
death. Through . the interpreter they told
their troubles. They wcro held to a contract ,
which amounted to slavery. Whllo not being
exhibited they were given nothing but tbclr
board. They had no money. Tasita said
they had received but $10 since lost
February. They pleaded that the gov
ernment should remember tbo lives of
Americans thny had saved and save them
from slavery nnd death by sending them back
to their homes. In a cold , strange land thoto
pcoplo were llko children. They cried. Their
story nnd their tears had the desired effect as
the pitiful cases of these men were laid before
fore the authorities at Washington. Olllclals
declared that It was only Just that they
should bo assisted to their homes. It was
necessary to secure n release from the con
tract which held them.
Milt-shall , the manager , declared at first
that ho weald not let the mon go. Day after
day the columns of the World told the poor
beings' tale of xvoo nnd described their condi
tion. At. last tbo contract was formally
waived , and now these liberated slaves of
the nineteenth century are going homo.
Flrnt Joy In Three Years.
When Tardtn was told ho was going homo
ho was besldo himself with Joy. Clapping his
hands hn dnncod up and down.
"No more sick , " he exclaimed , tapping his
chest , although ho had tioeu coughing se
verely.
To Manogi. the emaciated warrior In the
hospital , n reporter carried the news. The
once powerful chief raised himself to n sit
ting posture , then bowing his head upon his
bauds bo wept. They were tears of joy. His
broad , manlv chest ho'ivod with sobs that
shook his still massive frame , as ho realized
the Import of the communication. Poor Man
ogi 1 In his case relief cumo too late , for the
sands of his llfo will have run out before his
comrades gaze again upon the waters of the
Pacific.
During the half hour wait at the transfer ,
as well as during the ton minute stop hero ,
ho lay almost motionless on his couch In the
stateroom of tbo sleeper , his every wish an
ticipated by his companions or the sympa
thetic passengers. The railroad mon doubted
his ability to stand the variflod atmosphere
in crossing the mountains , and American
earth will doubtless > receive his body ere
many days. Ho feels certain that the end is
near , anil told Tasita that ho must die before
reaching homo.
A great deal of interest is manifested lr >
the Samoaus , and they arc shown every at
tention , for which they ovlnco the deepest
gratitude.
Assignment ol' the Itcportcr.
Mr. Jones , who has them in charge , Is ac
companied oy bis wife , who goes as far as
San Francisco. Ho-Jeft Now York July 14
and expects to reach-Samoa about August 6.
Ho hopes to get homo in October , after an
absence of three months. Ho and Tasita are
giving each other lessons In their respective
languages , and cap already communicate
very readilv. Tasita is very intelligent ,
learns rapidly , and has' a very attractive or
oven handsome face. A single glance at
him prepossos on jjatrongly ; in his favor.
Ho went through the formality of nn intro
duction vnry creditably and when a paper
that ho had furnished 'tho reporter was re
turned to him aftorlnspectlon , ho received it
with a grace and a 'clearly spoken "Thank
you" that was really'charming. His bright
oycs spoke volumeapand as ttioy tilled with
tears when his home was mentioned , ono
could not but mentally heap anathemas on

INSIDE HISTORY OF THE CONTROVERSY.
Audit Ijninnx of the Union
Pnclllc Defying the Alton Hoy-
cotters The Italian Hand
or Could
CniCAno , July 10. S. E. Wilkinson , grand
matter , and W. A. Sheehan , grand secretary
of the Drothorhood of Hallway Trainmen ,
bavo Just Issued a circular to the men of the
organization giving the Insldn history of the
controversy between It and the Switchmen's
Mutual Aid association \yhlch culminated in
the discharge of all the switchmen on the
lines of the Chicago & Northwestern. The
circular puts the Switchmen's association In
n very bad light. It says in subtanco :
"About two years ago the Switchmen's
Mutual Aid association begun n war of ex
termination iu the Northwestern yards ,
and their first victims were Lindsoy
and Ingalls , who were employed
by that company. They wcro driven
out of the yard because they oclonged to the
Brotherhood of Hallway Br.ikomen and
would not Join the Switchmen's association.
The matter win taken up by the grievance
committee of tba brotherhood but after ex
hausting all honorable moans to secure the
reinstatement of tbo two discharged mem
bers the oITort was abandoned , much to the
dissatisfaction of the members who know
the circumstances. The discharge of Frank
McNcrney , yard muster nt the instance of
the Switchmons association In the early part
of last March there was a new conflict be
tween these two associations. The matter
was brought before the grand council of the
Federated association but with no
results. At the conference of this
council a representative of the Switchmen's
association stated the position of the switch
men ns follows : Wo have branded McNcr-
uoy ns a scab and ho will not be allowed to
work in nny yard in the city of Chicago. Wo
will not allow him to bo reinstated under any
circumstances. Wo have taken our position
and all the switchmen in the .United States
cannot move us. Wo claim the right to
coerce every man in the switching service to
become members of th Switchmen's Mutual
Aid association. Wo claim the right to drive
from thaswitchlng service any member who
does not pay duos to our organization. Wo
claim the right to say who shall bo em
ployed ns yardmaster in the different
yards In Chicago. We claim the members of
the Brotherhood of Hnllroad Trainmen have
no right in any yard in the United States.
The time is coming when n man cannot work
in nny yard unless ho is a member of our as
sociation. The Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen is no organization at all. It cannot
light because at its mixed membership. Iho
Sn itchinen's Mutual Aid association is the
most powerful organization of railway em
ployes.
"Failing to got any satisfaction from the
Switchmen's association or from the supreme
council , the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men appealed to the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad , requesting an unconditional rein
statement of McNorny. This request was
granted , nnd the company reorganized Ita
switching service. "
Grand Master Wilkinson proceeds at con
siderable length to give the details of nego
tiations that have arisen from time to time
during the controversy and concludes with
this statement : "On the part of the switch
men it is a record of persecution , dollnnco of
law and property , born of envy of the train
men. On our part the record is established
ns ono of forbearance nnd sacrifice oven to
humiliation. I am willing to bo judged in
this matter. I have no apology to offer. "
WKSTEUN I'ASSBNOBIl AFF.llKS.
The meeting of the Western Passenger as
sociation was a tame , affair after all. There
was no difllculty in transacting business
with the aid or consent of the Alton though
there was an apparent disposition to postpone
action on Important matters in which that
company is iutoiested. The readjustment of
percentages for dividing the expenses of the
association ns previously compiled by the
chairman was adopted.
The report of the committee on revision of
the present method of handling certificate
excursion business was received , but laid
over until the next meeting , A committee
was appointed to confer with the lines inter
ested , relative to a readjustment of the rates
from Cincinnati to Son Francisco via Port
land. The subject of harvest excursion ratorf
was tabled subject to further consideration.
For the Grand Army encampment at De
troit a rate pf ono faro for the round trip
from all intermediate points was authorized
for special dates of sale and transit and final
limits. The demand of the Illinois Central
for authority to put its tickets on sale In the
Auditorium hotel to meet the action of the
Monon , was the subject of a spirited discus
sion , resulting finally in the appointment of
a committee to confer with General Passon-
jor Agent Barkot of the Motion with a view
to inducing him to withdraw his tickets
from the hotel. The meeting will bo resumed
tomorrow.
DBl'VINO Tim 11OYCOTTEK3.
The efforts of the eastern roads to Induce
the Union Paclllo and other trans-Missouri
lines to discontinue the use of the station
1'orm of tickets by which effect the boycott
against the Alton is greatly weakened , are
not likely to prove successful. Passengers
lo eastern points may use these tickets with
impunity over the Alton as there Is nothing
n the coupon to show what line they trav
eled over from the Missouri river to Chicago
and the conductors on eastern trains cannot
refuse to accept them. Protesting letters
have boon written to General Passenger
Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific , but that
official has replied to the boyoottors that It
.hey do not llko the form of ticket ho uses
they are at liberty to order his tickets oft
said on their roads.

Private OnlnioriM on Paving.
George W. Mosson All I have to say is
that these opposing the letting the present
contract nro acting In good faith. At most
t Is only n matter of short delay and if the
Jtradamani company'can show or give rea
sonable assurance that tbo material , to bo
used and the paving to bo douo is fairl/ good ,
I am In with the rest of them for it.
James II. Van Dusen As far as I am concerned -
corned the whole matter Is now In the hands
of the court , nnd 1 am willing to wait the de
cision of the court.
C. M. Hunt I am opposed to asphaltum
lavement , for It has always proved a failure
md Is too expensive in more ways than one.
n my opinion no now street like Twenty-
ourth street should bo paved with asphnltum
before sewers nro constructed nnd gus and
valor mains uro laid and connections mado.
The paving would bo practically ruined by
ho time the street was imilt up and connoc-
ions made with sewers , gas nnd water
mains. I am In favor of brick or stone.
Captain Puter Cockroll I think it Is best
'or ' our citizens to stand by the city council
n its.awardlng the contract to the California
: ompany. I have been opposed toospluiltum.
llr. Her tells mo that "tho California asphalt
ias been tried for years , that ho has ridden
over It Hundreds of times and that the eom-
> any Is not only responsible but reliable , ami
. nn give any bond required. The Barber
nvemcnts are bad and Omaha has been
riwsly Imposed upon by that company. " The
icuossary cutting it up ns Improvement ) ! muv
bo madu iu thu future , and sewer , gas and
notor connections bo made , will greatly In
ure the pavement.
Thomas J. O'NoIl On account of the heavy
muling on Twenty-fourth street I think that
isphalt is not the proper paving material. 1
aver stone.
Arthur W. Saxo The work of pavlnir
should bo pushed. Mike sure that the now
company use * as good as or belter material
tnd lays as good us or better paving than the
Inrlwr nnd then push tlu > work , and by all
iicnns see that thu work be well done.
John C. Carroll I do not like this tie-up
iffalr at all. The pro | > erty holders seem to
mvo the least to nay about the matter , whllo
bo boodlers are making the kick. I know
ho California asphalt pavement to be all
right.
Alfred A. Gary -All wo want is a fair deal.
Wo do want that new company to show
up and satisfy thnto of us who have to pay
the bill. * , that the material to be mod and
the pavement to bo laid will un to the stnnj-
ard and wo shall all bo satisfied.
