London Officials.

TIIREATEN1NGS OF WAR.

BERLIN, Jan. 25.—Tho North Gorman Gazette, I'rinco 13 binarCH's organ, denies tho existence of any treaty precluding any European power friJm acquiring or seeking to acquire ascendoivcy in Samoa. Tho Gazette also denies that England and tho United States aro agreed that tho proceedings of tho German agont in Samoa aro contrary to tho stipulations of tho treaties concerning Samoa and aro opposed to diplomatic etifjuetto, and that thoso powbrs havo officially notified the German Government accordingly. The treaties between Samoa, Germany, England and •the Upited States, tho Gazette furthor says,'provide that Samoa shall concede to each treaty power equal rights with any other power,- but no treaty regarding the neutrality or independence of Samoa exists between Germany and tho United

Siates. BERT.IN, Jan. 'JO.—The North Gorman Gazette says that tho English Cabinet disclaims: co-operation with the Washington Government regarding Samoa.

The Cologne Gazotto declares that there is ao occasion to i'oar that the excellent relations between Germany and America are in-danser of undergoing any radical change. It says:

Comparatively little Importance is to be attached to tho last acts of an American Gov meajabout to quit office. Under tlio Presid^ji&of lr. Harrison a complete clearance of Mr. Cleveland's official stall becomes unavoidable. Mr. Cleveland's most recent stops, therolore, have lost thoir importance, and, "his actions aro in no way binding uron'Mr. Harrison. From the intelligence received- hero it is evident that tho American Government, treats tho Samoan question in a spirit hostile to Germany and on a basis of incorrect suppositions. It is incorrect to speak of a violation by Germany of actual agreements botween the treaty powers, as no •treaty was ever concluded between Germany, Great Britain and America in regard to Samoa, •while on the other hand such a treaty cloos exist botweeu Germany and England. The excitement in America is therefore incomprehonslble. Mr. Bayard has declared that he does not know whether Klein is an American subject, but nevertheless he is responsible for 'Klein's misdeeds."

LONDON, Jan. 25.—Tho article in tho •North German Gazette relative to tho treaties regarding Samoa has caused somewhat of a commotion in oflicial circles here. By some persons it is regarded as a deliberate dellatico to tho Washington Government.

LONKOX, Jan. 20.—Commenting on the Samoan affair the Daily News says: "It is extremely important that England should net cordialiy with America. It is therelore tho more to be regretted that we have no Minister at Washington. If Lord Salisbury would be a littlo loss humble to ••Germany and a littlo more civil to America it would bo far better for all tho parti03 concerned."

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.—When Secretary iBayard was shown the Berlin dispatch giv'ing the North German Gazette's views on the Samoan question he said he did not 3tnow what authority the Gazette had for its statements, consequently ho could not assume them to be oflicial, and they might, after all, prove to bo mere newspaper .gossip. In regard to the statement that Germany would violate no treaty in acquiring an ascendency in Samoa Mr. Bayard called attention to tho declaration concerning the boundaries of tho German, and English dominions in tho West Pacific Ocean, signed at Berlin, April 0, 1SS3, and ho thought this agreement precluded German acquisitions in Samoa, and that Germany was bound to respect the rights of that island.

Senator Sherman said he supposed Bis•jflarck had a perfect right to express liis opinion upon any subject, but did not supipose such an expression of opinion would *leter the American people from carrying out any policy they might adopt.

PARIS, Jan. 27.—Le Temps publishes a dispatch from Zanzibar stating that an (American sailing vessel from Zanzibar for Madagascar ports ha3 been fired into and disabled by a German war-ship.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2D.—John C. Klein, the Samoan correspondent of tho N»uv York World, who has been charged with being the leader in tho trouble with tho Germans in that country, has a six-column letter in Sunday's paper describing the trouble. Klein begins his letter by stating that tho situation is alarming, owing to the tyrannical action of Dr. Knappe, tho German Consul. He then tells of the killing of German soldiers, and the destruction of American homes. Klein declares that tho German officers wore drunk on shore, and committed many outrages. They announced that they particularly anxious to meet Amerij..•... '•-Englishmen. The sailors from ..-iOV took possessions of the sa-—-r.^roceedcd to get drunk. Thoy alting remarks about Americans, 'Wholtnipbu George and Morris Scanlan, t\yo Amoricans, resented tho reflections. .They were attacked and severely stabbed in tho back. Then tho sailors run amuck through Matafele, assaulting men, women and children. One woman had her ribs and both arms broken. Tho story then goes on to repeat the story recently told by the press dispatches about the fighting and alleged outrages. Kieiti repeatedly declares that ho acted simply as a newspaper correspondent, and did not advise any one. He describes in detail tho battles botween tho natives and the protests of United States

Consul Biacklock against the Germans attacking the Samoans. BERI.IN, Jan. 20.-The North German Gazette says: "Advices from San Francisco show that the Ciiamber of Commerce there is the most active element in the opposition to Germany's policy in Samoa. Tho anti-German feeling is heightened by the action of Mr. Sewell, the American Coilsul in Samoa. There is no conflict between Germany and America. It is only -with Sowell and tho American officials in •/Samoa, who are anxious to causo compli"cations."

Tlio lnter-Stato Commission Dea'.a tho Ticket ISrokcr* a Sevcro Blow. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Tho Inter-State Commerce Commission has promulgated an opinion on the subject of passenger tariffs and rato wars prepared by Chairman Cooley. Tho paper narrates the facts attending the wars in passenger rates in St. Louis in October and at Chicago in December. Tho Cnicago rato war extended over tho liner, running to St. Paul, Minneapolis, Kansas City and St. Louis. Its characteristic feature was the fact that ticlcots woro placed in the hands of brokers or scalpers to be sold at rates below the tariff rates, and that the roads excused themselves for their dealings with brokers by claiming tho right to pay commissions at will. Tho Commission recommends that the Intor-Statc Commerce act bo so amended as: 1. To detlne what shall be considered excursion and commutation tickets. 2. To prohibit all payment of commissions on the sale of tickets and all sale of tickets for lnter-Stato business except by the regular agents of the carriers. 3. To require the carriers to provide for tho speedy and convenient redemption of unused tlckots or coupons.
