GEKEEAL SFOETIXG XEWS OF THE DAT
It seems as if the managers of numerous
ball clubs have suddenly come to the con
clusion that Pete McShannic is a good third
base player. During the last few days he
has had many ofiers and yesterday Mr. J.
"W. "Waltz, Vice President of the Baltimore
Baseball Club, was in the city trying to
secure him. All offers lor McShannic are
too late, however, because he has accepted the.
terms of the Hamilton club.
Mr. Waltz is one of the most genial young
gentleman one can meet. His frankness and
Intelligence make It interesting to converse
with him on baseball matters. Yesterday he
said many interesting things regarding tho
national game during a conversation with the
writer, lie said:
"I came here to try and sign McShannic to
play short lor us. I have seen him play and I
think him one of the most promising young
players I know of. I find I came too late, how
ever, as be has agreed to go to Hamilton. I am
surprised that Pittsburg should allow such a
promising player as McShannic to go. Now
that I cannot get him t don't want any of the
other young players here.
BALTIMORE'S GOOD PEOSPECTS.
We have a good third baseman in Shindle,
and I think McShannic would have been good
at short. The prospects of our club are good,
and I think we will stand well up in the Asso
ciation race. Kilroy is ready to sign as soon as
I want him. Manager Bamie is busy looking
after the improvements in our grounds."
Mr. Waltz was asked bout the respective
merits of the Association clubs and he replied:
"I think the struggle this year will be between
the Athletics and the Brooklyns. In my esti
mation either of these clubs is stronger than St.
Louis. The latter is weakening and the Eastern
clubs are getting better. If St. Louis had played
ns poorly during last season as it did against
New York, Von dcr Abe's men would have
finished fourth in the Association race instead
of first. The Browns certainly did not play
their best game against tho Giants. Luck was
against them."
Regarding the graded salary question Mr.
"Waltz said: "The Association will be in line
with the League, depend npon it. We have
come to the conclusion just as emphatically as
the League that high salaries arc ruining the
pi ospects of the game. The matter i, indeed,
a serious one with the Association.and I expect
it is the same with the League. From what I
know of our intentions I think the general
PEIXCIPLE OP THE LEAGUE
plan will be adopted by us. 1 think we will de
viate a little in a few details, but not far
enough to prevent a uniform or national agree
ment on the matter. Of course we meet after
the League, but that will not interfere
with any common conclusion on the mat
ter. Any suggestions that we may make
can be referred to the Arbitration Committee.
The League can do the same, and after all sug
gestions and proposed amendments arc sub
mitted the Arbitration Committee can make a
new rule and insert it in the national agree
ment. This can all be done without any great
trouble, because as 1 say, we will adopt the
general principle or the League's rule."
Speaking about Association clubs joining the
League, Sir. Waltz said: "I give no credence
whatever to the stories about Brooklyn joining
ine ljeague. .rrcsiaeni .Byrne is too snrewu a
business man to do that, and were
he willing to do so President J. B. Day
would object. Brooklyn has. nothing to gain
but much to lose by joining the League. Byrne
has a bonanza in the home Sunday games. I
should think they are worth $30,000 to the club,
and he will not throw that away. It may be
that Cincinnati has a desire to join the League
and it may not. However, if the Reds do leave
lis we will certainly get something else. The
game is becoming popular and cities are grow
ing up. I don't think, however, that Cincinnati
is as eager to join the League as some
people imagine. I am also fully per
suaded that Cincinnati would not gainanj
thing by leaving us. If the Reds join the
League they will lose their Sunday games,
and that will be a great loss. Besides I don't
think that Cincinnati isa50-cent ball town.
This really is the important feRture, and were
a change to be made it might be ruinous. Of
course 1 have heard and read lots abont a con
solidation of the principal Association and
League clubs into one grand organization.
Such a thing may come, but it is too far ahead
jet to seriously discuss."
DISTEMPER AT LEXINGTON.
Owners nnd Trainers Somewhat Scared
Abont Their Hori.cs.
Lexixgtox, February 10. The exemption
from disease the horses have enjoyed that are
wintering here this year at the association
course and other training tracks in this section
has been decidedly marked, but at this writing
owners and trainers alike are somewhat wor
ried over the sudden appearance. of a most
Violent type of distemper, which threatens to
become an epidemic. Among the horses now
suffering from the disease is the great colt
Champagne Charley, and it is feared that it
may seriously affect his training for his
early engagements: in fact, it is nqw believed
that bis twiner will not be able to bring him
to the post in first-class condition before the
middle of the summer or early in the autumn.
Several in Brown Dick's stable are also
slightly affected with the disease, while Byron
McClelland's string have not escaped the dis
agreeable malady. Except where other com
plications exist, the disease is not considered
fatal; it, however, has a tendency to leave its
effects on the inflicted ones, not infrequently
injuring th j lungs and resulting In the roaring
propensity, which prevents a horse from cover
ing a distance of ground.
The First Bis; Bet.
New York, February 10. Bookmakers and
turfmen are talking to-day over the first bet of
the year on the great Suburban handicap,
which was made at the St. James Hotel last
night. Dave Johnson, the bookmaker, thinks
there is no horse in the world to compare with
The Bard. W. C. Lyon, of Chicago, who is
stopping at the hotel, believes that the Chicago
horse. Terra Cotta, is as fast an animal as ever
stood on plates. The two men had an argu
ment about the merits of the two thorough
breds, which culminated in Johnson betting
Lyon 500 that The Bard wonld beat Terra
Cotta. Both must start or the bet is off. The
Bard carries 130 pounds and Terra Cotta 120.
In Favor of Kelly.
New York, February 10. Jack Kelly, of
this city, and Maurice Rose, of Brooklyn, en'
gaged in a fight for a $300 purse this afternoon
In a barn near Gravesend. After three rounds
the fight came very near becoming general.
Rose violated many rules, and when at the end
of the third round he continued to punch his
antagonist after time'' bad been called, Johnny
Golden, the referee, decided the light in favor
ot Kelly. Rose's admirers grew furious, but
the more fair-minded declared the decision a
just onc,and interfered to prevent the onslaught
attempted on Referee Golden.
Assnulted Dnnlap.
According to reports from St. Louis Fred
Dunlap, Captain of the local ball club, was
grossly assaulted in that city Friday evening
in Bamberger's saloon. He, accompanied by
Jim Davis, King Werdon, Bat Holliday and
Brennan, was having a drink in the saloon
when a tough introduced himself as a member
of the party. Dunlap refused to accept his
company, and the tough blackened Fred's eye.
Iu less than two minutes the touch was as
sisted out of the saloon horriblv different in
appearance to what he was when he entered.
Jockey Mcl.anehlln.
Jimmy McLaughlin, the- famous jockey,
passed through the city last evening on his
way West, He was looking extremely well,
and expressed the opinion that be might reach
'Frisco before he returned East He would
venture no opinion about any future results.
A KEAL FARCE,
Tommy Ward and Kennard Dupe a Kambcr
of Fistic Sport.
fSr-ECIAl. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Findlay, 0., February 10. For the past
month Tommy Ward and Jimmy Kennard, bet
ter known as "The St. Paul kid," have been
in training here for a mill to decide tho light
weight championship of Ohio and to secure a
purse of S500 contributed by the sporting men
of this city. The fact that these bantams were
soon to meet in the ring at this place, while
kept from the general public, was pretty well
known by the sports throughout tho State, and
as a consequence, not less than 300 of these
gentlemen paid S3 each and rode about two
miles west ot this city at an early hour this
morning to see what was promised to be a fight
to a finish with skin gloves.
The ring was pitched iu the center of an old
barn. Through six dreary rounds the greatest
farce in the way of a prizo fight that ever dis
gusted spectators was played for the edifica
tion of the rang of suckers. The men struck
nothing but attitudes, and not one honest blow
was struck until ucar the closo of the sixth
round, when Kennard obligingly allowed Ward
to knock him down, from the effects of which
he could not recover. When time was called
for the seventh round tLe referee could do
nothing more than to award the purse and
championship to Ward.
At the closo the crowd was so exasperated
over the farce that Kennard and Ward would
both have been mobbed had thev not hur
riedly sought a waiting carriage which took
them across the country to McConib. where
they caught an early train for Cincinnati,
Mhile the sore sports returned to the city,
where the greater part of the crowd are likely
to be arrested before morning", as the prosecut
ing attorney has had warrants issued for over
100 of the spectators.
A SPORTING SENSATION'.
Slope Newspapers Rcinse to be Parlies to
O'Connor-Gmidnur Hippodrome.
fSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIEI-ATCIM
Sax Feaxcisco, February 10. Under the
bead, "take back your money," this morning's
Examiner sets forth its reasons for refusing to
be the final stakeholder in the O'Connor-Gau-daur
rowing match in this city on March L
This action has caused a sensation in sporting
circles here, and is being discussed in all its
phases. The Examiner says the hollow style
in which O'Connor defeated Tfeemer looks like
a fake. Gaudaur previously refused to row the
present champion, becauso of lack of reputa
tion. The forfeit in the present match was
placed with a ncwspaDcr in St, Louis, but the
articles of agreement were not signed by the
men when departing for the Pacific coast.
This looked strange. Forty thousand people
saw O'Connor win from Peterson here lat
spring. 10,000 paying SI a head. Gaudaur and
O'Connor were sure enough of each other to
believe there would be no hitch in the way of
making considerable money. The Chronicle
was made final stakeholder, but no deposit was
made to bind the articles or guarantee that
cither man wonld row. J. A. St. John. Gau
daur' s backer, then chanced from the Chronicle
to the Examiner. The Examiner refuses, and
intimates that the race is a fake, got up to
capture tho money of the San Francisco sports.
The oarsmen are very indignant.
CAUSED A RIPPPLE.
The News About Smith and Kllrain Cadges
a Little Excitement.
Xew York, February 10. The news that the
friends of Kllrain and Jem Smith bad all but
completed arrangements for a meeting next
October, whether the Baltimoreac won from
Sullivan in July or not, caused a Blight ripple of
excitement in the ranks of tho lovers of a mill
yesterday. The delegation of sporting men
leaving at G o'clock by the West Shore road for
Chicago to attend the McAuliffe-Myers fight
next week had a good deal to say about it, and
the prospective meeting of Mitchell and Smith
in a ten-round glove contest for SLOOO. Some
were of the opinion that neither lights would
ever come off.
Dominick McCaffrey is in town, .having come
to Gotham to cast his eye npon a desirable
spot to open a liquor store, and at the same
tune to arrange a fight with Jack Dempsey for
S5.000 a side. Dempsey, who is in the West on
his sparring tour, will return to Now York
early this week, and McCaffrey will have
abundant chances to talk tho matter over with
the Xonpareii. Dominick has set his heart on
a sparring tour through England with
Dempsey as his side partner. He will have
nothing further to say to Jack Fallon, the
Brooklyn strong boy, but will devote his entire
attention to the task of bringing Dempsey into
the 21-foot ring.
HE OWNS PATRON.
Mr. Emery Pnys 813,000 to Own the Other
Half of Patron.
C. F. Emery, of the Forest City Farm, came
home from Canada yesterday morning. He had
been to Brantford, Ont, to see Cope Stinson
hone the Cleveland colts in the land of snow
and loyalty and was satisfied with the sight
With him went Dr. W. C. Fair and W. H. Mc

A D. Merrill, of Tilsonburg, be secured the
other half of the great stallion Patron, 2:1.
Two years ago Mr. Emery became interested
in the horse and paid Mr. Merrill S12.EO0 for a
half interest in him. The Canadian and Cleve
land interests collided and Mr. Emery's deal
was abont a necessity. Pat is coming 7 years
old and well worth the price, he stood Mr.
Emery. $27,500. He is now with George Fuller
and the Forest City Farm colts at Columbus,

Hocnn Wants a Go.
A backer of Tommy Hogan was told last
evening of the result of the affair between
Watd and Kennard. Hogan's backer said:
"Tommy will fight either Ward or Kennard for
a stake with or without gloves, and he will
ficht them both in one week for not less than
$200 a side. Hogan will weigh in at legitimate
bantam weight, and we may be disposed to give
a pound or two. Let Ward or Kennard's friends
state through The Dispatch that they want
an honest fight"

Boston, February 10. Duncan C. Ross has
accepted Captain J. C. Daly's challenge to a

more than 200 a side.
Fportlng Notes.
Mr. Waltz states that Baltimore lost more
than 511,000 last year.
Manager Phillips still laughs at the
Louisville story from Louisville.
Smith and Mitchell will box ten rounds in
March for the English championship.
Swartwood will get a team of hustlers,

There is a prevailing opinion in Detroit
that Howe and White will play with League

says Duncan C Ross is in that fraternity.
There certainly would be nothing wrong
about the local club giving Mr. Abergast a try

THE BARS LET DOWN.
Cleveland's Order Extending Civil
Service Eules to 5,200 Clerks
MAY BE MADE OP NO - AVAIL.
Mr. Edgerton's Removal Gives Republican
Senators a Foothold.
SO COMMISSION K0W IN EXISTENCE.
Lincoln's Portrait for Sale to Uncle Sam Belongs to a
Syndicate.
Republican politicians for some time past
have been worked up over the extension by
President Cleveland of civil service rules to
the 5,200 employes of the railway mail
service. They think they now see a way to
head it off. They will refuse to confirm
Hugh Thompson as Mr. "Edgerton's suc
cessor. No commission, they say, no change
in the railway mail service as far as civil
service rules go. They intend to fight it out
on that line anyhow.
rt-rECIAL TELEGRAM TO Tns DISPATCH. 1
Washington, February 10. The Re
publican Senators will probably decide
within the next few days that party policy
demands the rejection of the nomination of
Hugh S. Thompson to be Civil Service
Commissioner. It is held by the Repub
lican lawyers iu the Senate that so long as
there are two vacancies there is no legal
commission, and therefore, that if Mr.
-Thompson's nomination is not confirmed,
the work of the Civil Service Commission
must stop until after the 4th of March.
Senator Allison said as much as this in a
speech a few days ago. and at the time be
made his remarks J udge Edgerton Tas, to
all intents and purposes, an active official.
The reason why the Republican Senators
are so extremely anxious to tie the hands of
the commission is that they hope to find
some way to prevent the carrying out of the
order of the President placing the 5,200 em
ployes of the railway mail service under the
operation of the civil service law. This or
der is to take effect on the 15th of February.
HARD TO THINK OF.
To see this great army of appointees, two
thirds of whom are Democrats, taken from
their control and surrounded with safe
guards against removals, is what causes the
greatest sorrow to the Republicans, and
they are nursing a fond hope that some way
will be found "to nullify the order. If it
shall be found that the President, the Civil
Service Commissioners and the Postmaster
General have not already taken all neces
sary and legal steps to carry out the order
into effect, it is probable that it can be ren
dered inoperative. Several Republican
Senators claim that this is the fact, and that
the approval ot the commission to certain
acts is yet necessary before the 15th of Feb
ruary, and that there is now no power exist
ing to place the railway mail service em
ployes under the operation ot the law.
Democrats claim, however, that nothing
remains to be done that requires any action
outside of that of the President and the
Postmaster General, and that on the 15th of
February the civil service law will throw
its protecting arms about the railway mail
service as gently as if the Republican ad
ministration were not just coming into
power.
not to be endured.
The Republicans cannot bear the thought
of this being done, because once within the
power of the law all these employes will be
out of their reach. The Democrats can, of
course, all be removed on various pretexts,
but there is no power that can get the old
Republicans back except through the regu
lar channel of lree and open civil service
examination. ..
The Republicans charge that the''ntire
mail service has been demoralized by the
removal of old and competent men, and
that they will make things all right when
the Harrison administration comes in. Just
how they can do it after the 15th of Febru
ary is a mystery. That they intend to try
is shown by the steps they have already
taken. On motion of Sir. Chase, the Senate
has adopted a resolution calling for a list of
all changes of employes since 1885,
and Senator Paddock has introduced
a bill providing that the organic
civil service act, passed in 1883, shall not
be construed as including within its pro
visions the employes of the railway mail
service. Senator Paddock will call this bill
up in a day or two, and will lead off the
Republican attack on the postal service in
a long soeech, in which he will claim that
the service in the "West has been rendered
worse than useless by the wholesale removal
of old and cntnnetent emnloves.
Mr. Paddock's charge will be followed up
by other Senators, and a general debate on
the civil service reform as applied to the
mail service will take place.
DEATJI FOR A SCHEME.
A Portrait of Lincoln for Sale to Uncle Sam
Said to Belong to a Syndicate.
tSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH.
Washington, February 10. It crops
out that the full-length portrait of Lincoln
for the purchase of which a bill has been
introduced in the Senate by Senator Voor
hees, appropriating 15,000 for the purpose,
is not the property of the artist, but a syn
dicate of speculators, who, if they can lobby
their bill through Congress, will clear nearly
the entire amount of the appropriation.
It was also discovered that the pic
ture is one which hung for long
years in the reading room of a prominent
hotel in this city, simply because there was
no sale for it. About a year ago it disap
peared. It was then that the syndicate got
possession of it. They had the artist take it
to a secluded place, touch it up and change
some of the accessories, and then brought it
forth as a picture painted from life, though
there is no record of the martyred President
ever having given a sitting to any artist
bearing the name of the person who pro
duced this portrait
In its present renovated condition the face
is that of a man much younger than the
President was when be occupied the chair
of the Chief Executive. "Whether Senator
Voorhees was aware that the portrait for
which 515,000 is asked was bought by" the
syndicate of speculators for a couple of hun
dred is not known.

The Hague, February 10. A storm of
exceptional severity is raging throughout
Holland. The rivers are greatly swollen,
and Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Schiedam,
Zwolle and Campen are inundated. Many
shipwrecks, with great loss of life, arc re

Germany and France, the snow being from
one to six feet deep.
A FIEND OP T1IE WORST KIND
Attempts to Bnrn n Dig Tenement House
Filled With People.
tSrEMAL TELEOHAM TO TIIE DISPATCH.;
New Yokk, February 10. An attempt
was made at 2 o'clock "this morning to blow
np the ramshackle five-story double tene
ment house at 7 Hester street. In this house
and the hpuse back of it 50 persons live,
most of them Polish Jews. The fire was in
the cellar, which can be reached only from
the center yard between the houses. Above
the cellar are two basement stores, one occu
pied by Samuel Rosenblatt and Samuel
Tramer, who carry on a business in second
hand goods, and the other by Jacob Lich
man's restaurant. The low cellar is little
better than a black hole, and is littered
with rubbish and filth. Stuffed between
some wooden boxes and one of the joists
Policeman Corey and the firemen found a
smoking heap of rags, saturated with kero
sene. The joists were also smeared with
kerosene. Another bundle of the same sort
of rags, not five feet away from that first
discovered, was found to contain about
three pounds of gunpowder. The rags and
the gunpowder are now in possession of
Fire Marshall Mitchell.
Some of the tenants claim to have seen
strange men loitering about the place dur
ing the day. The other tenants in the house
were asleep at the time, and shake their
heads over the story of strangers. Some of
them hint that the real incendiaries are to
be found not far away from 7 Hester street
itself, but their lack of explicitness as to
names and persons was exceedingly well
marked when the reporter questioned them.
No motive apparently exists for such an
attempt on the part of any of the tenants.
None of them are protected by insurance,
the companies having, it is said, more than
once refused to take risks in that house.
It is said that a ieud exists between
Rosenblatt & Tramer, the proprietors of the
shoo in the basement, and Lichinan, who
keeps the restaurant, Mrs. Harris, the
housekeeper, is said to side with the Lich
man's in the controversy.
ANARCHY AND SECULARISM
Join Hands in Chicago and Denounce Chris
llnnlty nnd Capitalists.
Chicago, February 10. The Anarchist
orators to-day temporarily abandoned their
usual Sunday themes and joined forces with
the leaders ot the Secular Union in denun
ciation of United States Senator Blair and
a couple of laws he wishes to have enacted.
One of the proposed statutes provides for
enforcing the observance of Sunday as a
day of rest, and the other proposes aconsti
tutional amendment making it obligatory
for the public schools to teach the principles
of the Christian religion.
The first speaker, Jens Christensen, edi
tor of the Arbeiter Zietung, ridiculed re
ligion in general and Christianity in par
ticular, and spoke of socialism as the ouly
true doctrine for the government of nations
or individuals. He was followed by E. A.
Stevens, Secretary of the National Secular
Union. Mr. Stevens declared that any man
who attempted to force the people to believe
in any religion or to observe the Sabbath
was a public enemy.
Anarchist Paul Grottkau spoke iu Ger
man, asserting there was a conspiracy of
bishops, cardinals and capitalists to force
the discussion of religion, so as to smother
the great social question. Xfiey also sought
to train up the children in superstitious
slavery. He warned them against this pro
gramme, "for," said he, "the time is at
hand when the people, by force, will take
the Government into their own bands."
A PENN AVENUE FIRE.
A Bakery Entirely Destroyed at an Early
Hoar This Morning.
At 1:30 o'clock this morning a fire broke
out in the bake shop of Joseph Simons, No.
1340 Peun avenue. It was caused
by the oven falling in and natural gas
setting fire to the wood work. Police
Officer Charles Metzgar was passing at the
time and sent in an alarm. The flames had
gained such headway that before the depart
ment arrived the whole establishment was
in flames.
Great difficulty was experienced in get
ting the inmates out of the sleep
ing apartmeuts on the second floor.
The proprietor ran up immediately after
the fire broke out and had to throw one of
the women down the stairs to get her out.
Simon's wife and baby also had a narrow
escape. The loss on tfie bakery, which was
entirely destroyed, will amount to 1,500,
insured for 600., The buildings are owned
by Adam Shraib, of Forty-third street. His
loss will be about 1,000, supposed to be
fully covered by insurance. William Ben
gle's bird store, at No. 1344 Penn avenue,
was damaged by water to the extent of
about felOO. The household goods ot Paul
Haggeriy, occupying the house in the rear
of the bakery, were slightly damaged by
water.
A I0UNG COWBOY'S NERYE.
John Hirers' Thrilling Experience While Ont
Hunting; for Horses.
Helena, Mont., February 10. One of
the pluckiest fellows that ever lived in
Montana is John Myers. He is 20 years
old, and has just gone through a thrilling
experience. He is a cowboy, and was hunt
ing for horses with a party on the Still
Water river. He was missing Tuesday
night when the others came in. It was
thought he had stopped at some "squaw
man's" house, and no fear was felt for his
safety.
Two days after the men in the camp
noticed a dark object slowly sliding down
the side of the opposite bluff. It was My
ers. Both of his legs were broken, nnd his
head and face terribly lacerated.. He was
weak from loss of blood and the exposure
he had undergone dragging himself along
for 30 hours in the snow. His horse stum
bled and threw him on the rocks and ran

THE CATHOLIC UN1TERSITT.
The Divinity Building to be Ready for
Students Nest Fall.
"Washington, February 10. The di
vinity building of the Catholic University
here will be completed in May and opened
for students in September. The contracts
for furnishing are now being made. The
cost of the building is about 100,000. It is'
simply a wing, and has been built with re
lation to the entire future structure.
At the meeting of the trustees of the Uni
versity next September, after the opening
of the divinitv school, .it will be decided
whether the building of another part shall
be begun at o'nee. It is believed that the
whole university can be completed in five
years, and the total cost is roughly estimated
at between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000. Up
to the present 800,000 has been collected.
The trustees do not mean to incur any debt.

SEWALL OK BAYARD.
The ex-Consul Tells Where the Secre
tary Was Remiss,, and' Failed
TO SAVE TflE MTIOH'S DIGNITY.
The Samoan Conference Ought to be Held
in Washington, and
A TRUCE SHOULD BE INSISTED UPON.
America's Frestlge Irretrievably Weakened la the
Pacific Islands.
Mr. Sewall, until recently Consul Gen
eral at Samoa, talks freely an Secretary
Bayard's conduct of the affair. He says
that the Secretary should have called the
attention of Congress to the outrages as
soon as they occurred. Immediate and
positive action is now necessary, he asserts,
to save the country's dignity. He pays a
dubious compliment to Mr. Coleman, who
represents the United States in the pending
conference At Berlin.
Washington, February 10. Mr. Se
wall, late Consul General in Samoa, talked
freely to-day in regard to the proposed
Samoan conference at Berlin. Among other
things he said:
"Consider the genesis of the conference it
is proposed to renew. It was summoned by
our Secretary of State; it assembled at our
capital on the acknowledged basis of an
equality of rights of these three treaty
powers, of which we were the first. Its
object was the preservation of Samoan
autonomy, upon which all our national and
commercial interests in Samoa depend.
'While the conference was yet unconcluded,
with no notice to this Government, the Ger
man ships came to Samoa and took posses
sion of tne islands in violation of the under
standing on which the pending negotiations
were proceeding.
SAVE THE NATION'S DIGNITY.
"If the conference is to be renewed at all,
it should be renewed under conditions as
favorable to us as those which attended its
initiation. The status ante conferendum
should be restored, and Malietoa, for whose
deposition we are morally responsible,
should be returned from exile, and it should
meet here, where it was interrupted and
where our representative would be free
from the peculiar influences now at work at
Berlin. But were the suggestions Kf Mr.
Bayard, in his letter to the German Min
iste'r, made conditions precedent to the re
assembling of the conference, we might
even then enter upon the conference with
something of our national dignity saved.
Mr. Bayard suggests a truce in Samoa he
does not insist upou it.
The position maintained in the conference
by Mr. Bayard has not, I believe, been
criticised. That the independence of the
islands should be maintained and equality
of rights of commerce and navigation as
sured for the subjects of the then treaty
powers, was agreed upon. Our rights are
not enlarged by this, but only confirmed.
BAYAED'S REMISSNESS.
But having secured this recognition of
our rights, Mr. Bayard rested. And it is
because of this because pending the con
ference he submitted to the violation of
these rights that he has been criticised,
even by Mr. Bates, upon whos recommend
ation Mr. Bayard's entire contention in the
conference was based. Mr. Bayard did not
resent this action of Germany, accompanied
as it was by the ruin . of our
trade and outrages upon our citizens
and flag, as bad as those which have
recently stirred the country. It is because
he has suffered the violation of those rights
which he was the first clearly to assert, and
because thus our prestige has been irretriev
ably weakened in the Pacific, that Mr. Bay
ard is criticised. Had Mr. Bayard, through
the President, called the attention of Con
gress and the country to this German action,
the same sentiment which is now aroused
would have long since averted the distres
sing condition of affairs that now confront
us in Samoa and renders difficult, but at the
same time necessary, further negotiations.
Kobody desires war which is not necessary.
Kobody proposes annexation."
Mr. Sewall was asked if he knew any
thing of Mr. Coleman, our Charge at Ber
lin, who is, it is stated, to conduct our ne
gotiations. He replied: "I do not, only that Prince
Bismarck speaks highly of him."
PENDLETON RECOVERING.
Overtures for the Settlement of the Samoan
Difflcnltr Attributed to Illm.
Berlin. February 10. The Forth Ger
man Gazette says that a gratifying change
for the better has lately occurred in the con
dition of Mr. Pendleton, justifying the hope
that be will soon personally assume the
direction of affairs at the American Lega
tion. Mr. Pendleton returned to Berlin on New
Year's day, and the official American over
tures regarding Samoan which were made
at the Foreign Office on January 7 are at
tributed to his initiative.

Snow storms prevail throughout Great

ant Cooper's murderers.
The report that Cardinal Ledochowski,
Primate of Poland, had died at Borne was er

he is now recovering rapidly.
The value of the plunder secured by the
mob in the recent riot at. Rome is estimated

The Governments of the Australian colonies

C0NGEESS MUST HELP
The Weak Western Railroads or They Will
be Forced to tho Walt.
Chicago, February 10. The Times to
morrow will print a long letter from Presi
dent Perkins, of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy, analyzing the Western rail
road situation. He ridicules the idea that
the subordinate officials are responsible for
the frequent demoralization of rates. If
there is any blame to be attached to railroad
managers it belongs, he says, to the bead, and
not the subordinates. That the managers
are anxious to maintain rates, he does not
think there is any question, but it remains
to be seen, he says, whether the present
effort of the Presidents to provide for this
without arranging to divide the benefits
and to compensate the weaker lines, will
work any better now than in the past. If
not, he thinks thai some way must be found
to make a division and to pay the weak
lines, and if this cannot be done without
the help of Congress, that help must be
obtained, or railroad property will suffer
until the weaker lines are worn out and
sold to the stronger at half their cost.
