Mr. Halo expressed the belief that German interference in Samoa has been the direct act of the German government and in pursuance of a settled policy on the part of that government.

Secretary Bayard ay No American Has Been Injrurd In Penon or Rights. Washington, Jan. 31. It is understood that Consul-gei'eral SewalU who has been detained in Washington for some timo by the Sen. i to foreign relations committee, expects to leave here on Friday or Saturday

for Samoa. Secretary Bayard was, this.

evening, shown (hi dispatch from Ankland stating that Germany had given notice that all vessels arriving at Samoa will be

searched for contraband goods. He said

the department had to-day received a dispatch from Consul Blacklock stating that war had been declared against

Mataafa, and that martial law

had been proclaimed by the German

consul at Apia. He did not know whether

the state of martial law referred to included all of Samoa or only Apia. Reference was made to the criticisms of tho De

partment of State, and tho Secretary said:

I would like the gentlemen who have been criticizing everything done by the State Department to show one instance in which I have broken the law or permitted it to be

violated. I do not know of 6uch an instance. There has been a great deal of misrepresentation, and in time our countrymen will se that the State Department has

done everything that could be done."

"1 sec." continued the Secretary, "that Mr. Sherman stated in the Senate that no

American had been injured in Samoa. That

is so," eaid ho, "and I have yet to learn

that any American has been injured, or any

of their rights, as defined by law and

treaty, taken away. Our policy has ben fixed and steady in the direction of 'he

preservation of American rights. The German government has constantly given as

surances that uermany would not violate

any American rights, and Prince liismarck.

in his last letter to Connt Arcovalley, rerenews his assurances that Germany will

scrupulously respect those rights. The depertinent.' said the Secretary, "cannot stop tho fighting in Samoa; we cannot prei i

ueni rival commcrnai companies quarreling and fisrbtintr. It is not for us to trv

and give every every country a stable government."

Secretary Bayard said that he had not 3et received the proposition which Count Arcovally had informed him Prince Bismarck had sent for a conference between Germany and tho United States in regard to Samoa. He could not. therefore, say whether or not it was for an entirely new

negotiation or ior a renewal of the confer

ence suspended about a year ago, at which

the secretary said he had endeavored to bring about an understanding between Germany and the United States to better the condition of the unhappy natives. A gentleman who is well acquainted with . Saniuan affairs said, to-night, that matters had reached a very serious slate, and he would not be surprised to hear that a conflict had taken place between the Germans and the Americans. The natives had beaten the Germans repeatedly, and, according to tho Auckland Dispatch (which he. regarded as entirely reliable), Germany now proposed to whin them by preventing arms being sent in. The newspaper read by Americans had been suppressed, and the Germans had even taken control ef the police of Apia. The American residents contributed to the fund for the support of the municipal police, and it was bad enough to have them under the direction of Tamasese, but under German control it was infinitely worse. He said it might appear an unusual and bold thing for us to say that we would protect the independence of a country far awa, but our national honor and our obligations required that we should come to it.

PREMIER FLOQUET'S TOLICY

Action of the Commander of the Adams. San Fjiax Cisco, Jan. 31. Commander R. F. Seavey, of tho United States steamer Adams, which arrived hero from Samoa, via Honolulu, yesterday, in an interview to-day, said: "There was a great deal of commotion when I was at Apia. I went down there with all kinds of orders suited to a time of peace, but when the war broke out I threw the orders to the wind. They would do in time of peace, but were not applicable to the condition of affairs then. When I saw Brandeis, tho German minister, leading 500 natives in support of Tamasese, I wrote him a letter asking him to desist. I said: 'I am hero to protect American citizens and American property, and I will not wait idly by and seo you plunging the country into trouble when their lives and property may be destroj-ed. If you do not desist 1 shall take such measures to protect them as I deem the circumstances demand.' He sent word back that no Americans nor Americans' property would bo molested. In a little while, though, ranch the same tactics were repeated. Thero was a meetins of consuls aboard the German war-ship Adler, and at the meeting 1 said to the Germans: Now. just let the natives tight it out between themselves.' Oh, no, they could not do that; they said they had prochimed Tamasese kinir, and they could not leave him now to fight it out alone. Then I said I would take a hand in this. lf yon persist in aiding Tamasese and lighting for him I will participate,' and I pulled tho Adams in ahead oi the Adler. and would have done my part in tho fray if the Germans had decided they must have it. 1 had made np my mind that the Adams could throw some hells. At this they eased down, and promised that it should be 'hands off.' Next there were notices posted by the Germans stating that the bridge over tho river at Apia and separating all the back ccuutry where the natives were would be taken up. I tore these notices off. I said there should bo no demolition of bridges. Then I ordered ray carpenters up the next morning, and, meantime, word having been got all aronnd. scores of natives came to aid in repairing and maintaining the bridge. I also threw some marines ashore to protect it. It is not necessary to say that the bridge was not destroyed. The Adams left Samoa Dec. ?, and was not present during tho recent battle between the Germans and Mataafa's forces." The Pear Made by Commander Day. Cleveland, 0., Jan. 51. The home of Commander B. F. Day, of the United States navy.ib at Warren, O., a few miles from Cleveland. The commander has recently returned from a cruise in the South Pacific, and has had a hand in the Samoan matter. He submitted to an interview with a cor- - lespondent this afternoon. "1 went th?re in May. lffi, as captain of the Mohican," said he, "at a time shortly after Tamasese had set himself up against Malietoa, the rightful King.

Malietoa's army oi a.ouu men inoveu uown as planned, and at daylight Tamasese

found himself nicely surrounded. v got the Mohiean under way and went up to anchor off Tamasese's town, to cut off

his escape by water, and arrived there about 10 o'clock in tho forenoon. As soon

as the ship was steamed up, tho Germans had their suspicious aroused by our leaving the harbor so informally, and divining

that something was up. they forthwith dispatched a mounted messenger to Tamasese's carnp, notifying him to have nothing to do with me. The messenger arrived before we did, and when wo were rowing ashore m the small boats, Tamasese wou!d not lot ns land bocausc I had a Samoan interpreter in the boat. 1 went ashore to an English trader's store and sent word to Tamasese that I wanted to see him. A messenger returned, shortly, saying that tho rebel chief was in tho bush.' Thereupon I sent hira notice that unless he came I would not be responsible for tho consequences. That brought him, and 1 at once tried to have him sign an agreement giving up his claim to the kingship. Acting under the German advice, ho refused. My best judgment was to have Malietoa pitch in and everlastingly whip Tamasoso, as the latter was in rebellion asrainst tho then recognized government. This would have forever ended the diilicnlty, as Malietoa could have cut to pit-ces Tamasese and his followers. Well, there they were, with Malietoa ready to start his 'battle at my signals. Returning on board ship, I found one of his head chiefs anxiously waiting the word to go ahead. By this time some of the others arrived, and the English consul served me with a formal protest, in the name of the Quen, against my precipitating a contlict. while the German consul

earnestly entreated me not to start the affair. The United States consul sided with me. Wo then all went back, allowing the hostile parties to retain their situation, and tried to have tho consuls hit upon something." Breaking tho narrative for a moment, Mr, Day left the room and returned with a yellowish-tinged dbeument, on which was 1 Tinted in parallel columus one in tho English and the other in tho Samoan language tho following: U. 8. Ship-of-War Mohican, ? Apia Harbor, June 8, 1SS0. "We, tne representatives of Malietoa ana his government, and we, the representatives of Tama'ese and his party, do hereby solemnly swear to the follnwtntr asrreenient: First That from this day forward there shall be perpetual peaee in Samoa. Second That the two parties of Malietoa and Tamasese shall live In friendship and cordial relations. Third That from this date forward all forts shall be destroyed, and that no tlreann of a defensive nature shall bo carried by any Samoan. This was signed by seven of Tamasese's chiefs, and by eight of Malietoa's chiefs, and tho agreement was witnessed by tho American, English and German consuls. That," referring to tho above, Tesumed Mr. Day, in a rather regretful tone, "is the peace I made against inv judgment. It lasted till about August, 1887." Commander Day says that Brandis, formerly a clerk in the German trading company, is premier under Tamasese, and that he is controlled by the German consul. Continuing, Commander Day said: "Instead of an autonomy tho Samoan government is a protectorate in full intents and purposes. In fact, tho commander of the German naval forces told me: 'We are. protecting this government of Tamasese's.' The new king, Tamasese, was never popular outside oi his own province, and his actions and government were so arbitrary that it resulted in a rebellion. Tho discontented Samoans chose Mataafa, who was next in rank to tho kidnapped Malietoa, to be their king. Now that tho followers of Mataafa have fired on tho Gennau forces, that country will no doubt send an expedition to Samoa and deport him the same treatment, that was bestowed upon Malietoa for his act of temerity, if they don't kill him outright, as I expect. In finishing his interview Commander Day said: "Malietoa wore a shirt and no trousers or shoes when he came to visit tne.

There is one great trouble Mataafa has to contend with, and that insetting munitions of war. The German government supplies Tamasese with old 'Henry' and 'Schneider' rifles, and furnishes ammunition. On the other hand, Mataafa has to get arms as best ho can, without any rich government backing him. If our government intends to assert its rights there, and prevent tho Germans getting full control of those islands, the wisest move that could bo made would be to send out to Mataafa a supply of arms and ammunition. With these he could hold his own against any force the Germans can sond against him for some time. I have an idea that it is going to bo a very serious complication," The Suppressed Newspaper. San Franxisco, Jan. 31. The Samoan Times, a newspaper which tho Aucklaud cable states that the Germans have suppressed, was published at Apia by an En

glish subject named Cusack. A number of copies of tho paper were taken in this city, and ever since the troubles began in Samoa the paper was sought for for an intelligent summary of the happenings in tho islands. The opinions expressed by the paper were conservative, and tho journal was regarded as publishing unbiased reviews of the happenings in the recent battlnbctween tho Germans and the Samoans. The Times declared that tho latter did not tiro until the Germans had iired a number of shots and had killed two of the natives. The Germans have not been friendly to Cusack, and it is reined by the correspondent it Apia that ou the night of Dec. 17 a number of sailors from the German men-of-war Olgaand Adler went ashore at Apia and one of the chief subjectsof their search was Cusack. The correspondent said: "Cusack had, on several occasions, criticised the Germans in his editorial columns for their general conduct in Samoa, thereby incurring their hatred. When tho German sailors came on shore they began to look for him and he was obliged to go to the British consulate for proteetion. They, of course, did not venture to follow him there." Arbitrary Actions by the Germans. Auckland, Jan. 31. Advices from Samoa 6tate that the German oflicials have given notice that all vessels arriving there will bo searched for articles contraband of war. They have suppressed the Samoan Times. A passenger on the British steamer Wainui, who visited Mataafa's camp, was placed under arrest, but was subsequently released in compliance with a demand of the British consul. A proclamation has been issued placing the Apia police force under German control. Mataafa's followers number six thousand. They are strongly entrenched, and other Samoansaro rapidly joining them. Upon the arrival of the steamer Bichmond she was boarded and searched by tho Germans. Germany Expects a Friendly Settlement. Berlin, Jan. 31. A white book on tho Samoan question will shortly bo presented to the Reichstag. Tho National Zeitung announces that a friendly settlement with America may bo expected, based upon Prince Bismarck's proposal for a joint discussion.

The Premier Says He Is Ready to Move Against the Enemies of the Republic. Paris, Jan. 31. In the Chamber of Deputies, to-day, 31. Jouvencal interpellated the government regarding measures it intended to take to arrest the progress of Boulangisra. The speaker attributed the change in public opinion chiefly to the insults that have been daily heaped upon the government, and to the indifference of tho Ministers toward their rcvilers. Liberty of the press and liberty of speech had been allowed to degenerate into license. Tho government ought to defend itself from the attacks of slanderers. Fremier Floquet, before replying to M. Juvencal, asked leave to introduce a bill re-establishing the scrntin d' arrondissoment system of election. Deputy D Ornano. a Bonapartist, here exclaimed: 'The only possible issue is the dissolution of the Chamber." M. Cazeaux, a member of tho Right, asked leave to speak on a matter of urgency. The President refused permission. Fresh protests from the members of the

jttignt led to a scene or great contusion. 'Ihe President finally called the members to order and decided that the House must hear M. Floquet. M. Floquet held that the establishment of the scrutin cV arrondissement system would in no way assail universal suffrage. If his policy obtained tho approval of tho Republican, party, he would pursue it with greater authority, but if it was not approved he would resign. The government, he said, did not think that measures ought to be taken against the liberty of the press, but they were bound to legislate acainst those

who were seeking to overturn the republic. The existing laws dealing with hostile combinations were inadequate, while the increase of mediums of communication and the growth of wealth furnished persons having criminal designs with means of action which could not be foreseen by the i framers of tho penal code. The government would, therefore, propose fresn measures for the repression of attempts against the security oi tho state. A great change had occurred in electoral proceedings. Universal suffrage had become the tool of all sorts of commercial combinations through 83'ndicates operating through paid bands of agitators. The government would also introauco a bill for the modification of the press laws regarding placards and colportage. After a general explanation of tho government's policy, M. Floquet concluded his speech by saying that if a mai'ority of the members of tho Chamber of deputies were discontented, or thought a nearer approaeh ought to be made to tho policy of the Right or the Left, the Chamber must seek other Ministers. In the meantime, ho asked the House for a vote of confidence. M. Paul de Cassagnac followed the Premier. Ho reproached M. Floquet with attacking universal suffrage, and said it was now the Right upon whom fell the duty of defending suffrage against the government. Universal suffrage commands; it must bo : obeyed. "Dissolution" had practically been made tho test-word. The situation ior the Ministers could be summed up in thephrase "get out." After accusing M. Floquet of striking at liberty through the proposed laws against attempts on tho srenrily of ;tho state, M. do Cassagnac concluded by intimating that he would vote for the presnnt Ministry, since jts continuance in office would be the best means that could bo : sought to overthrow the republic. The sitting of tho Chamber was theu'snspended. When the Chamber reconvened M. Hubbard demanded that the government proceed against Boulanger with acts, not words. M. Floquet replied that it was necessary to combat the idea of a dictatorship. They must light it resolutely in a legal way, using fresh weapons if necessary. M. Dcmonjeau declared that it was time to put an end to Boulaugism. Boulanger ought to bo watched aud stopped on his march. Cheers from the Left.l Mr. Gaguerre (Boulangist) reminded tho house that the Boulangist propaganda was supported by thousands of citizens. Those citizens, he 6aid. desired an honest republic. They desired a republic open to all Frenchmen, in contradistinction to a republic governed by a parliamentary clique. It was an infamous slander to say that Boulaugism was supported by funds received from abroad. 31. Clemenceau held that although Paris had made a demonstration that displayed its discontent, no reason existed for a change of government. M. Montaut then presented this motion: "That tho House, conlident in the firmness of tho government, passes to the order of the day." The motion was accepted by the government and adopted by a vote of 800 to 210. . General Boulanger did not appear in tho Chamber during the debate. THE DEAD PRINCE.

Rumor that lie Was Killed by the Ilusband of a Lady Residing at the Chateau. Pakis, Jan. 31. It is stated that the 9 Crown Prince Rudolph was shot by tho husband of a lady w ho was residing at the chateau whero the tragedy occurred.

Additional Details of Ills Sudden Demise. Vienna, Jan. -31. A dispatch to tho Fremdenblatt from Meyerling says: "Crown Prince Rudolph left Vienna on Monday, in a court carriage, for Breiutenfurth, where a cab was in waiting to convey him to Meyerling. The Crown Prince, however, preferred to walk the distance, and did not use tho cab. During the walk he conversed cheerfully with the guests who accompanied him. On Tuesday he and his friends went on a hunting expedition. Upon the return of tho party the Crown Prince complained of . a headache, and retired to his room. He sent a telegram to the palace at Vienna, stating that he would be unable to attend the imperial dinner, which was to bo given that evening, and wrote several letters in his own room. . On Wednesday morning ho awoktf ' beforo 7 o'clock and summoned his; ph' servant, Johann, to whom he gave an order to have his breakfast served at 7:C0. At the time appointed his valet carried his breakfast to tho room and was horrified to find the Crown Princo dead in his bed. The valet rushed into the court-yard andinfonried Count Hoyos and Prince Philip of Cobir'gyvho hnrried to tho chamber of the Crown .Prince. Princo Philip, who was crerpowered by grief, remained in the chamber while Count Hoyos drove to Vienna to impart the sad information to the imperial family "

trolled her grief and accompanied tho Emperor to the rooms of Crown Princess Stephanie, where tho Crown Priuccsa was informed of her husband's death. The Emperor and Empress had great difficulty in dissuading the Crown Princess from driving iustautly to Meyerling. Tho Emperor then retired to his private -apartments, where he remained alone until 3 oclock in the afternoon, when he directed that the remains of the Crown Prince be conveyed in Vienna. He afterwards received a verbal

report from Councilor Wideihofer, whom he had dispatched to Meyerling in the morning." The body of the Crown Prince was conveyed to Baden by road last evening, and was brought from there on a special royal train which started at 12:20 o'clock this morning. A large crowd surrounded tho southern station in this city when the traiu arrived. The most profound silence reicned. The station itself had bf en tilled with people, but they quietly withdrew when requested to do so by "the guards. Shortly before midnight four attendants carried a bier to the" platform. At 12:4-", Prince Hohenlohe-Schillingsfurst, grand master of the imperial household, arrived. The funeral train reached the station at 1 o'clock. The coliin. draned with a velvet pall

on which was embroidered a gold cross, was placed on the bier. The people about the station removed their hats as the colli n was brought out. The bier was placed m a carriage drawn by six horses, behind which walked Court Chaplain Mayer, Prime Hohrnlohe, Count Orsini Rosenburg, tho deceased's aid-de-camp, and Captain Giessliubro. The guards walked en each side of the carriage. Crowds of people awaited the arrival of the cortege at the Hofburg, where tho coftm was borne into the apartments of the deceased Prince. The papers of Vienna all print mourning editions to-day. They express tho deepest sorrow at the death of tne Crown Prince and extol his merits. They declare that ho wa th pride of his parents, an ornament and a joy to the whole imperial family, the hope of the people, and a noble andhighsouled promoter of the arts and sciences. They ail ex press heartfelt sympathy fortho family of the Crown Prince. A Paris dispatch says: "Outside the Austrian embassy the news of the death of the Austrian Crowu Prince produced the greatest commotion in the office of La Justice. Crown Prince Rudolph was very intimate with M. Clemenceau, but at Rudolph's desire the intimacy whs kept a secret, because Rudolph said that if the fact became known at Berlin he should never reign. Clemenceau held Rudolph in the highest esteem as

Though the family is subject to epilepsy, it was thought that Rudolphhad escaped "that malady. Clemenceau says that Rudolph's fear ot Bismarck would have been amusing had there not been such a terrible seriousness in his expression of it." An enormous copper coffin was sent to Meyerling on the same train that conveyed the doctors who had been deputed to inJuire into the cause of the death of tho Jrown Prince. The body was placed in tho coffin, but when it was attempted to place the coffin in the hearse it was discovered

that the hearse was too small and it was necessary to use the hearse in which the bodies of panpers are conveyed, as it was larger than the one sebcted. Wheif the hearse reached Baden nobody except the mourners following it knew that it contained the body of Crown Princo Rudolph.

New York, Jan. 31. This, the third day of the strike, opened much the samo as yesterday. The situation of affairs is yet unchanged. Tho two days' stoppage of the cars has cost the strikers $20,000, and the stockholders of tho roads about $50,000. Quiet reigned at all the cast and west-side stables during the night, but each stable was guarded by police oflicers in case of any trouble. Without a doubt tho most remarkable and striking feature of to-day's developments, up to noon, was tho command of Inspector Williams to hU men: "Shoot to kilL" Inspector Williams uttered these words this morning, when the details wero being made for the day. He eaid, and his words had a marked effect on those who

heard them: 4Tf the crowd uses cinDs, yen use your pistols. Have no nonsense about it. 1 want no play, no foolishness, If necessary, use your pistols, and use them well. Shoot to kill." . The Fourth-avenuo line had twelve cars running by noon, and the Grand-street line had sent out about a dozen. It was reported this afternoon that tho Belt line, which runs through a hard neighborhood, were going to start a car. In a short while 1,000 strikers had congregated at the stables. Before tho rolice could reach the scene of trouble on Tenth avenue the work of blocking the Belt road was completed. It was begun with a load of sand, which was followed by a couple more, both placed on the down track. These were then flanked with heavy stones, weighing between 500 and 1,000 pounds. They were brought in wagons by sympathizers of the strikers, and dumped across tho rails. A dozen of these were thrown on both tracks. The situation was becoming strained when Captain Killeliea and Inspector Steers appeared on tho scene. Tho Inspector gave orders to clear tho street, and tho Captain started in to enforce it. Ho has the reputation of being the "clubbing captain," and his actions this afternoon show that he deserves tho name. Ten minutes after he started in to clear tho street there was not a whole striker within half a mile. He gave orders to use clubs, and they were used. The Captain himself set the example. Tho strike a little later assumed an alarming aspect. The first blood was spilled with bullets. Strikers and police fired upon each other, and ono striker was wounded. Late in the afternoon a mob of striking Broadway men dumped a large truck on the track in Seventh avenue. Officer Patrick I,ynch was tho only one on duty there at the timo. He chased the mob through Forty-ninth street to Eighth avenue, where he caught James Nesdale, a Broadway driver. While taking him to the Broadway stables the crowd rushed at the officer, knocked him

down, and one of them mado a vicious kick at the policeman's head, but the latter dodged. Lynch tired his revolver in the air, nriucing officer Thompson, who raised him to his feet. The prisoner was again seized and the crowd again rushed iorward, and both officers iired revolvers in tho air. A number of strikers drew revolvers, and bullets whistled past tho officers heads. One of tho shots struck the prisoner in the knee. The tiring attracted a squad of police, and they swept the avenue and drove the crowd before them. Tho two oflicers were considerably battered. The wounded man was sent to the hospital. His wound is serious. Another driver was also arrested in tho row. OfticerManniugarreBted an ash-cardriver for dumping his load at thecornerof Fortyseventh street aud Tenth avenne. A mob followed him all the way to the stationhouse, hurling at him any movable object the could lift readily. The officer's head and back wero injured. He flourished his revolver at the crowd and reached the station. John Kerwich, a driver, drew a knife on one of tho officers, and he was felled to the .sidewalk bj' a blow on the head. He had to be taken to the Roosevelt Hospital. Kate Moore, a giantess in size, throw a rock at tk police, and fought like a tigress

when mado a prisoner. Just at dark over three thousand persons were thronging the streets and 6idewalks near the Broadway stables. Mounted police and officers afoot charged upon the crowds, which retreated, but did so sullenly. Two hundred strikers stood at the point of the plaza at Forty-seventh 6treet and Seventh avenue aud Broadway. A stalwart policeman astride a powerful bay horse rode Up and ordered them to move away. No man stirred, but quick as a flash a round cobble stone, weighing, doubtless, five pounds, shot from the rear of and over the heads of the crowd of men, straight at the nervous horse beneath the officer; but scarcely had the stone fallen upon the pavement than the officer's spurs gored the big bay horse, which plunged forward full at the breast of the sullen mob. There was a scattering, but one huge fellow braced himself for the onset with a club in hand, and as officer and horse were upon him he seized the bridle rein at the bit and the horse reared back. His rider, however, leaned forward simultaneously, and standing upright in the 6tirrups, the locust club was lifted and descended with terrible force upon the head of the stubborn striker. The blow could bo heard a block distint. The latter began at tho knees to fall, his head dropped, and in an instant he fell in a heap by the hoofs of the officer's horse. An ambulance carried him off subsequently, and the crewd took itself oft at once, ho car was run on the Belt Rue. The polico commissioners are becoming anxious about the situation, and have resolved to hold hourly conferences with Superintendent Murray while the strike lasts. Superintendent White, of the Drydock line, informed the police to-night that from information in his possession he believed that the strikers intended to fire tho company's stables during the night. Tho police forco guarding tho etables was increased. All Brooklyn Lines Threatened. Brooklyn, Jan. 31. A car on the Greenwood & Fifth-avenue route, one of the Richardson lines, went over tho entire

route at 8:30 this morning. It was escorted by thirty-six mounted policemen. Tho car moved at a steady trot all tho way down to the Fulton-street ferrv and back to tho

stables. Crowds of people lined the streets, but there was no disturbance.
