I hare atreadv nothlcd rourExcellency that icrordJnsr to trlepraplilo communications from Apia on the 18th of December of last year, a detachment of German naval forces which bai landed at the requisition of the Imperial consul for the protection of German pctticmcnts which vrrr endaneerai by the conflict bet ween the native parties there, was attacked by armed fcar mnans oelonjring to the party of Chief Mataafa. This unprovoked attack is said to hae taken place under the leadership of an American named Klein. On this occasion more than fifty German soldiers and officers were killed and wounded. In consequence of this we have been transplanted fiom the territory of mediatory negotiations, by which tho imperial consul In Apia was trying to reconcile the eoutendinjc parties, and for which be bad sought the co-operution of his Enllu and American colleagues. Into a state of war with the assailants, to our repret. We hall canyon the contest which ban been forced upon us by Mataafa and his followers with the utmost consideration of Knjrlish and American interests. Our military measures have tn view only the punishment of the murderers of German soldiers, and the protection of our own countrymen and their property. As they, on their part, are at war with Tamasese, our conference will necessarily assume the character of assistance to Tamasese. In the endeavor for the lust punishment of a murderous crime we hope for tho co-operation of the treaty powers in bar xnoaln friendship with us, and we ask the government of the United States to be rood enough to furnish the consuls and the commanders of its ihlpe-of-war In Samoa with suitable instructions. Our armed forces there are instructed to avoid and to prevent all injury to neutral commerce and property, and to adopt measures pf reprisal and destruction only against tho followers of the party which initiated the contest against cur troops by a murderous attack. We hall, of course, abide by tho agreements with America and England with respect to Samoa, And pay due regard, under all circumstances, to the rights of those, powers as established by treaty. I beg your Excellency to bring this communication to Mr. Bayard's knowledge by reading it to him, and toleavd a copy of it with him if he requests it. Bismarck. IIow Capt.

Colonel Dudley TIas Retired from Public life and Would Not Accept Office, special to tho Indianapolis Journal. ' Washington, Jan. SO. To-day's local .newspapers announce that CoL W. W. Dudley is an aspirant to tho commissionership of patents and Sergcant-at-arms of tho Senate. Speaking of tho publication tonight, Colonel Dudley said to the Journal correspondent: "I neither aspire to nor expect any office. I have never thought of filling either of the places mentioned; furthermore. I would not accept any office. . General Harrison knows this. He knew at the time of the election that I would not be an aspirant to any position under his administration, for the reason that I have retired from public life permanently. I thought I had made this fact sufficiently plain to everybody." Inaugural Ball Tickets. Washington, Jan. SO.

The British Extradition Treaty. Washington, Jan. SO. The Senate, this afternoon, went into executive session, on motion of Mr. Riddleberger, and considered the British extradition treaty. It is gathered from the tone of the discussion that there is a strong disposition among a number of Senators to recommit the treaty to the committee on foreign relations, the effect of which, from the 6tand-point of the administration Senators, would bo to kill it as far as this Congress is concerned. At any rate, when the Senate adjourned, no date was fixed for continuing tne consideration of the treaty, and it is somewhat doubtful whether it will again be considered by the Senato as at present constituted. Goneral Notes. Washington, Jan. SO. Tho charity ball, this evening, was a notable and highly-successful aifair. It was tho more significant Iy the presence of Mrs. Cleveland, who remained until a late hour. She was looking her very best in a gown of white silk.

A Visitor Who Is Never Ignored by the . Con gressman, Even During Important Debalfs Washington Post. , Jv ' ;' Yesterday afternoon, while t tho sundry civil bill was underconsideration, an elderly gentleman, quick in his movements and with the manners of our fathers, went to the east entrance of the hall of tho House and requested one of tho door-keepers to take his card in to Mr. Kandall. The doorkeeper took the card, but said; . . m "I will take the card in for you if you insist upon it; but I can tell you in advance that Mr. Kandall will not come out. He is in charge of the sundry civil bill, and I know he will not leave the floor." That's all right," said the visitor. "He will come out when he sees that card, no matter what bill is under consideration." "You may think so," replied the doorkeeper , "but when Mr. Randall has an appropriation bill under consideration he would not leave the lloor of the House if tho President of the United States should send in his card." "I'll bet you $5 to one cent that he comes out if you take this card to him," said the old gentleman confidently. The stranger pulled out a fivo-tlollar bill from an imnressive-lookiug wad. and the door-keeper "covered" it with a copper cent. The stakes were put up in tho hands ' of another door-keeper, and the card was sent in. Tho curious wager attracted the attention of several of tho bystanders, and a good, many sido bets might have been made on the result, but about four seconds later the big form of Kandall came bulging through the door, and holding out his hand to the stranger, he said: "How are you, Johnt" "Pretty well, Sam. Are you in a hurry?" "Yes, I am, John." replied the chairman of the appropriations coinniittee,"butif you will come around to tho committee room in half an hour I'll talk to you the rest of the afternoon." "All right, Sam," said the stranger, and he reached over for the stakes, which the door-keeper duly paid. Tho stranger was John Hastings, tho Punxsutawney postmaster. He aud Randall have been close, personal friends for forty years, and the ex-Speaker would as soon think of ignoring a call from the trumpet of the Angel Gabriel as he would a card sent in by John Hastings.

THE STREET-OAR STRIKERS
With the Aid of the Mice, All the Lines Succeed in Running Some Cars, The Striken Continue Their Obstructive Tac tics, but Show Less Zeal than on Tuesday The Brooklyn Lines Still Tied Up. New Yor.K. Jan. SO. The situation in this city this morning, 60 far as the streetcar tie-up is concerned, remains in practi cally about the same coudition as yesterday. People accustomed to take the Twenty-third-street cross-town cars had to foot it this morning. The neighborhood of tho Sixth-avenue car stables was deserted, ex cept by tho police, this morning. It was eaid that cars would be started from there beginning at 9 o'clock, or as soon thereaft er as a sufficient force of police could be mustered to man them. Matters were quiet around tho stables of the Broadway and Seventh-avenue Railroad Company this morning. Tho strikers stood in knots on the corners, but wero very orderly. A no tice was posted in tho office-window stating that employes who did not report for duty before noon to-day would be considered discharged, and thoso who returned to work would be fully protected in the discharge of their duties. It was not known when this com pany would start a car. The strikers appear to be very well post ed regarding the situation throughout the city. At the Eighth-avenue stables several of them said that tho Twenty-third-street and Christopher-street lines had been tied up. ino police anticipate some trouble at the various stables when attempts are made to run cars. Fears are entertained especially with regard to the Sixth-avenue road. There was a little trouble on the Grandstreet cross-town line at South Fifth ave nue this morning. Strikers overturned a coal wagon on the tracks aud it looked as if an encounter was imminent. A patrol wagon full of reserves was sent there from police headquarters, but when they arrived at tho scene Captain Thompson's reserves from the eighth precinct police station had removed the obstruction and dispersed the strikers. The Sixth-avenue road sent out their first car at 8:50 a. m. Three policemen wero on each platform. About one hundred strikers were standing about the depot, but they did not attempt to interfere. The superintendent says he will not run more than ten or a dozen cars during the ua'. The Broadway line advertises in the morn ing papers for conductors and drivers to take ine places oi ine strikers. Large crowds of strikers and their sym pathizers began to assemble early at tho stables of the Belt line. Additional police were telegraphed for, and sent to the scene, and cleared the sidewalks. At 10 o'clock the excitement was at fever heat, but up to that time no car had been started. It was said that if cars wore started there would be bloodshed, because the strikers were getting desperate. The urand-street line ran eight cars, up to 3 p. m., making, in all, forty trips. The cars were greeted with hoots and yells, and sometimes with a shower of stones. Two patrol wagons filled with policemen were kept ffoine un and down the route of tho cars, so as toecp an open passage and pre vent oostructions mgpui oniue iracK uy the strikers. Several of the strikers this morning told Paymaster Fosdyke, of the Dry-dock line, that the Grand-street cars must stop running, even if sointof the unionists lost their lives in attenintintr to make them. It was rumored this afternoon that the horseshoe shop men of the Sixth-avenue Hue had been ordered out. If this is so, the line will be badly crmpled. (i unto oupr in i cuu.cu u iuunaj waa uu headquarters at 5 o'clock this morning, de tailing men for tbe day's work. He has at his command 2.500 men, and all have been detailed to points where it is thought trouble may occur. Dispatches to headquarters reported that tho Third-avenue line had run eighty cars during the night, and that no trouble had been experienced. Policemen rode on the cars, while others were stationed all along theroute. Notice has been served on headquarters by the officials of the Broadway and beventh-avenuo line that they intend to start a car at noon. : At tho Fourth-avenue depot a notice is posted to tho effect that 175 conductors, 175 drivers and 150 stablemen are wanted to take the places of the strikers, and all newcomers are notified that those who eo to work now will be retained in the employ of the company whatever the result of the strike may bo. Up to H:o0 about fifty ap plicants for these positions had been accepted, and at that hour twenty-six cars had been started. Six of the old drivers reported for duty before noon and were put to work. Tho cars are being run only as far down as Fourteenth street and as far up as Eighty-sixth street. The avenue is lined with people watching the running of the cars and evidentlv exoectine a coins ion. Thus far, however, the operations of the strikers have been without violence in this Quarter. Superintendent Foulk, of the Ninthavenue line, stated to a reporter to-day that his road would not send out any cars till the trouble was over. Ho did not care to incite a riot. The men had been forced to leave their work without any reason for it, and he was not going to increaso tho complications of the situation. Mr. Foulk say 8 he can see no reason why the State Board of Arbitration should have any part in tins matter, anu mac nosnouia ceriaiuiy decline to treat with them. At 11 o'clock a mob of strikers gathered at the corner of Bedford and Carmino streets and overturned half a dozen wagons on the Sixth-avenue tracks. They also compelled two ashmen to damn their loads on the tracks, and milk caus and a lot of paving stones were strewn along the length 1 - frlia tw1 ! n r vn .1 t .7 there at the time were ohicers Byrnes and Shanahan, of the Ninth precinct. They did the best they could with the mob until a Sixth-avenue car came down, when they were reinforced by the four policemen who were on board of it, but these could make no headway. Shanahan was badly beaten about the head, and Byrnes discharged his nistol into the crowd. Finally a reserve squad arrived under the command of Cap tains Lopei and urogan, anu mo nioo was speedily dispersed. Soon after 1 o'clock about four hundred strikers assembled on Broadway, between Forty-fourth aud rorty-tiltn streets, and, after unsettinc several wagons on the cartracks, one of which was loaded with lard and provisions, they tore up three or four switch-plates, and made off before tho police iirriVtll UU llio stcuv iud ouiacio uiou uu rmuo rather troublesome upon upper Sixth avenue this morning. At Forty-eighth street 'they tore up tlag-stones and laid them on the track, and at Fifty-first street some men were arrestee ior xrymg xo over turn a wairon. The State Board of Arbitration is in tho city, but neither sido has as yet entered into negotiations with it looking to an end of the strike. The fact that the public has not been en tirely bereft of surface street-car transporiatinn lina lfon ft disouictinc element to the strikers; hence the determined effort to rherk the running of the Third-aveuuo cars. In this tho strikers have been entirely unsuccessful, and new doubts crept among and wero lo-uuy uucrcu uy mo men as car after car trundled out from tho vnrinns denots.

They were anxious to know upon what grounds a street-railroad company could bo made to Rive up its charter. The law was interpreted to them as contained in Sections 1785, 1707, and 17U3 of the Revised Statutes. They were greatly surprised when told by the commission that tho failure to run a car over the road every day did not mean a forfeiture of its charter. This was a ponular fallacy.

Citizens are forced to 'walk, store-keepers aro losing trade, and theaters are sparsely peopled at night Former opponents of elevated roads are urging the extension of the Union Elevated through thoroughfares heretofore closed by injunctions. Judge Robertson, of tho board of arbitration, said he thought tho trouble might; be adjusted, but Richardson refused to meet tho board and no proposition can bo discussed. The strikers seem anxious to enter into some sort of agreement, but Richardson will not listen to anything. Minor assaults continue, biit there is no serious trouble. Police Commissioner Bell says the police protection is ample, and thet the delay in running cars is due to Richardson's indecision. "Whenever he gets ready to act," says Commissioner Bell, "he will find that the police will preserve order." Lockout Ended. Spring Valley, III, Jan. 30. The lockout of the two thousand miners and company men who struck here ten days ago seems to be at an end, the Spring Valley Coal Company having decided to reopen two of its mines.

Correspondence of the Portland Argus. When I lived in Chicago a queer chap invented a cheap way to mako files. A bit of hot steel went into his machine, and the iile was made at a single blow, and fell into a tank of strong mineral water to cool, rhen a bare-armed workman thrust in his hand and felt around, and brought it up for inspection. The tiles thus made were a little imperfect, but were good ones, and he explained that the machine was a small experimental one, and could not. of course, doperlectwork as a large and powerful machine would. Capitalists went around and examined the machine, and saw him heat the steel m a hand-forge and put it in tho machine and saw tho red-hot file come out and drop into the water, and they tried tho hie with their own hands on iron which they had brought from home, and found it excellent. The only secret was the chemical water into which the files dropped and which gave them edge. A company was formed and money was paid in freely to enable the inventor to make a set of large machines, and when that was done he disappeared. It was a fraud. He had bought good files and defaced them a little, and stocked his tank with them. His machine stamped the bit of steel into file shape, and it dropped into the water with the files, and his workman, who was in collusiou felt around and brought up a file instead of tho 6teel. i i f--r Protection Education.
