important civil cases that had
been disposed of at the late
Court, we omitted
to mention Mr. J. B. Yellowley

One of the most fearful ma-
disasters known to our
times occurred in the harbor of
Apia, in the Samoan Islands on

trouble there had caused several
war vessels to be sent to the

a hurricane in passing the
harbor destroyed four of these
vessels and two others were
beached. Besides these all the
ships in the harbor
were wrecked. Three of the
war vessels belonged to the
States and three to Ger-
and with them nearly
hundred and fifty soldiers
lost their lives. The loss to the
Government by the

Cometh a morn when the sunlight

After the roar of the tempest,
Making the bravest to quake-

And soft as the moon-lighted lake.

Comes the sweet lull of its fretting
When pleasant its sound.
After the terrible struggle
