l AAiuasFw, saia uaptam .nuiian, had never been recognized by the United States government. As to the possession of tlio tire-arms by American residents of Apia, no , power had authority to take possession of them unless used against a frien.ily power, r while in transit for such use. Captain : Mnllan also said that in his opinion the condition and state of war in Samoa did not warrant martial -law being proclaimed. Captain Fritze replied to this that he would leavo the question as to his authority to declare martial law to his superior officials in Germany. On the night of Jan. 21 Klein was taken on board the American man-of-war Nipsic, having eluded the German police. On Jan. 28 Captain Fltzo sent the following letter to Captain Mnllan: The informattonhas reached me that an American citizen. Mr. 8. C. Klein, la on board the I,nitei tttate ship Ifipsle.

Washington, Feb. 1C When shown tho advices received from Samoa by the ateamer arriving at San Francisco to-day, Secretary Bayard to-night said thatCapt, Leary, of the Nipsic, had acted sensibly in taking care of i Klein, tho correspondent. Regarding this man, there seemed to bo a misunderstanding on tho part of the German officials. Quite naturally exasperated bv the killing rf their rnnn trvmrn ther

Of the other events chronicled in the dispatch, the Secretary pointed out that since its date teleEaphic advices showed that martial w had been abolished so far as it apl - plied to foreigners, and that the German officials had been rebuked. He had noticed in the newspapers (although ho had no ofti- - cial information on the subject) that tho 1 German Consul Knappe and llerr Urandis, -; the Tamasese adviser, who, according to tome accounts, had been responsible for tho j fomenting of strife, had been ordered home by the German government- If this was true, the stato of affairs promised to be much relieved. Altogether, Secretary Bay.ard was hopeful that a speedy, peaceful . and satisfactory settlement of Samoan affairs would be reached. He had, he said, received no news from Samoa later than, that sent to Congress, and already pub-. v liahed. THE TROUBLES AT FEST1T.

MILLS AND RANDALL. A Little Bout In Which Each Achieves a rartial Victory. FpecUl to the InUaDa;iuUa Journal Washington, Feb. 1C There was an exciting scene for an hour in the House of Representatives this afternoon. It was brought about by tho efforts of Mr. Mills and his followers to defeat Mr. Randall in his efforts to report the free tobacco bill from tho committee on appropriations. This proceeding was anticipated by a Journal special last night- But the Mills men failed. Speaker Carlisle "sat down upon" them at the last, and Mr. Randall was was bers permitted arranged of the to submit his report. Jt by the Democratic memcommittee on ways and filibustering should be in order to defeat purpose to make, a report. means that resorted to Sir. Randall's This work Avas to be done by consuming the hour each day when committees are called for reports. Immediately after the reading of tho journal, to-day, a conference report on a private pension bill was submitted. This gavo tho Mills men an opportunity to .begin their time-killing. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, began to talk against time, and he succeeded in stirring up sonio the Republicans who did not know what he was driving at, till the time-servers very soon had the reins in their own hands. Mr. Randall was at his seat and on his desk was the report on the Cowles b'.il. He was aware that the Mills men intended to consume the hour before the comniittee on appropriations- was called and it was his purpose to defeajc them if possible. The debate ran aloig on the peusion bill till all but twenty-fve minutes, of the hour, when committees were being called for reports, was consumed. Mr. Mills sat in his chair, with his ars folded across his breast as complacently as though no scheme concocted by hfrnwas being exe cuted, linally, Mr. Omdall becomes very nervous and beginsto look' at the clock. lie takes up bis report, turns it over, and lays it down agrn. The running talk on the pension h!A continues. Breckinridge; oi AentucKy,; McMillian, of Tennessee; Scott, of jennsylvania all Democratic members, of the committee on ways and means fite taking a hand in it. Finally, Mr. lunula Mt leaves his seat, goes over on the Kepujblican side and asks Milliken, of Maiae, to shut off the Republicans, stop the taiA, and permit the calling of committees tr. proceeu. .Miiiikcu goes to pooner, of -hode Island, who has charcro of the pen Aion bill and asks him to desist from talk ing, i no Mills men smiled at the proceeding. Mr. Randall goes back to his seat and sits down, Breckinridge has the lloor and refuses to permit the previous question to bo called on the bill. Speaker Carlisle has upon his desk a great pile of enrolled bills, and is ready to present them and occupy tho time of tho House if, by any hook or crook, the call of committees should proceed more rapidiv than is exneeted. ami the appropriations committee is likely to,1e reached. But lifteen minutes of time remains, and the pension bill is not linallv disposed of. Scott, of Pennsylvania, kills two uims witn one stone, in reply to an insinuation ne geTs iip, ana, Desules consuming considerable time, seconds his own nomination for the presidency in 1806 by declaring that he is one of the inost liberal pension advocates on the rloor. and that he nas votea tor as many pensions as another man. muis gets up aud takes a turn in the debate. Four ot the Democratic members of the ways and means committee are talking at once. The Republicans see what the Mills men are doing, and they join Randall in trying to dispose of the bill. Finally, a vote is taken, and Randall is with the Kepublicans. 1 wo or three Democratic members of the committee on ways and means are caneu to tne sneakers desk by Mr. Carlisle. A few words are whispered in meir ears, i ney go uacK to their seats. lUBtauoi conunuioes proceeds, and ways ami means is reacneu. it is evident that the programme has been agreed upon, and that a change of tacticp is about to take place.

Mr. Randall presents tho Cowles freetobacwybill, but there aro four other revenenlrer CVrlisTe who ehanged the determination of jao Willis men. lie told them that Jirt would not do to defeat the presentation of Mr. lurada by filibustering, and that it better to get a number of rever resentation of Mr. rindall s report would be enue bills on I t he calendar ahead of that, and permit it to eome in. Next week a debate will bo commenced on the Mills resolution, and there will be a few speeches made by meinners oitne committee on ways and means. .Mr. Kandall will have no opportnnity to get up the Cowles free-tobacco bill. Just before the close of this Con cress it is pro posed by the Mills men to call the previous question on me .mils resolution ana nave it adopted. Then there will remain on tho calendar three revenue bills ahead of tho Cowles bill. That will be the end of the tariff agitation so far as this Congress is concerned. disappointed ex-coxfederates. They Fear They Will Not He Permitted to Enter the Army or Navy. Speclat to the IndlauapoIIs Journal. Washington, Feb. 16. The change of administration which will be brought about by the dawn of the 4th of March will work many disappointments to a large class of ex-confederates. It was but a short time after the close of the war till men who fought in the confederate army appealed to Congress for special acts to remove their po litical disabilities so that they could re ceive appointments to federal oflices. Fi nally, Congress passed an act which removed tho political disabilities of the exconfederates 80 far as civil oflices were con cerned, but the disabilities of men who serv ed in tho confederate army remained. so far as commissions in the army and navy are concerned. When Grover Cleveland went to tho White House, and the briga'diers of the South got control of the lower house of Congress, the men who fought unner jeu navis and ins followers toot new hope, and bear an to tlood Congress for re moval of their political disabilities. hether their.intentions in going into tho army and navy were patriotic has not been inquired into, out certain it is that the last four years have not worked the success of many, if any, of these bills. Hundreds of them remain in the committee unacted upon. A Kepnblican member from Indiana was disciismng, this morning, the righteousness of the general proposition to re move the political disabilities of tho exconfederates who wanted to enter tho amy and navy he: "1 v;ry mudi doubt if the geueration wnicu took up arms against the Union, and foueht so denerateI3 to strike it down, should ever be allowed to bold positions in our army and navy during times of peace. I remember very well, in ISO I think it was, that while Gen. lbenezer minion t, oi my Mate, was a member of tho House, a large number of these bills to re move political disabilities from men who wen? fresh from the Confederate army were before t lit House. Uiuuont was very much opposed to all of them. He held that it was a ihvsical impossibility - to make an

It 1 not ixsihla to oualifv a man who conscien tiously fought for the Confederacy so that he will be a proper person to hold a federal position. The suggestion that an ex-confederate may be qualified to hold a federal position reminds me of an incident which occurred in my State, rccendy. a very Ignorant man was electeo. in ais township for the office of Justice of the peace. Shortly after the election he went to the, county ollicer to take the oath of oflice. When he entered the office in the county court buildinjr he addressed the officer by saying that he wanted to be qualified for the office of justice of the peace. The officer looked at him sharply, and frave him no attention. The elective officer repeated his request, when the county officer replied: 'I can swear you into office, but all hell cannot qualify you." We may remove the political disabilities irom these men, but there is no power on earth that will qualify them for the positions they seek in the federal service.' PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. The Senate Again Amends Certain Clauses of the Direct Tax Dill. Washington. Feb. 16. The Senate bill to place Major James Belger on tho retired list as colonel in tho regular army was passed. The Senate then resumed the considera tion of the resolution reported from the committee on privileges and elections as to outrages in Washington county, Texas, and Mr. Coke proceeded with his argument. agaiu quoting extensively from tho testimony to prove the bad reputation of tho three memorialists, Hackworth, Moore and Schulze. Mr. Coke yielded to the floor to permit Mr. Sherman to present the conference report on the direct-tax bill. The House provision in relation to the lots and lands at Beaufort. S. C. is amended so as to approEriato $300,000 to pay for tho town lots in eanfort at the rate of half the value assessed . thereon for taxes by the United States Land Commissioner, and at a rate of 6 per acre for the lands. The report was igreee to. Mi. Coke the resumed his speech, but soon yielded again in order to allow Sena tors lilair ami Ldmunds. who were not present when the report on the direct-tax hill was adopted, to express their views in opposition to the bill. As Senator Coke did not wish to com plete his remarks to-day. the Senato ad journed. The Cowles Dill Set Back. Washington, Feb. 16. Mr. Dargan, of South Carolina, from the committee on civil-service reform, reported a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Interior for information as to the number of clerks arpointed in his department since tho 1st of March, 1S85, without certification from tho Civil-service Commission.

Mr. Turner, of Georaia. in the chair, on the postoflice appropriation bill. ine pending amenumenis increasing mo appropriation for the compensation of postothce clerks by $300,000, was defeated oy a veto of 86 to 87.

General Pleasanton, the well-known cavalry commander, who did such gallant aervice for the Union a quarter of a century ago, was the other day discussing to some friends some of the celebrated character utterances of President Cleveland, such as 'ghoulish glee," or 'Innocuous desuetude," etc.,. when he said: "President Cleveland coined many epigrammatic expressions going to dem onstrate his biliousness and bad feeling toward his fellow-man, but I am probably responsible for the general circulation of a word which is often used, but seldom literally understood. During tho war I received a letter from one of my menus relating a lot 01 stun personal to myself which made me very tired. 1 wanted to an swer it briefly hut properly, and I ransacked my brain for a word which would express my depth of disgust, and I struck 'flapdoodle.' I simply reierred to the expressions contained in the letter as 'flapdoodle.' A short time afterward I received a number of let ters asking me what the meanmz of the word was, and where It came from. It wai.believed by those who read the letter that the W ord was coined. It led me to an ex tensive research, and I found in one of Dickin son's old dictionaries that the definition of 'flapaooaie was ioou ior iooxs to leea upon.' " General "otes. Special to the ItiV.smiMlu Jiiuni il. Washington, Feb. 10.A favorable report was to-day made by Mr. Bynuin, from the House com mittee on ways and means, on the bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay Henry Ayres, of Evansville, $3,282 erroneously or illegally collected by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue on deficiencies in the production of spirits which resulted from unavoidable acci dents.

3TAULIFFE AND MIEE,

The Chicago Toughs Were Disappointed and Swindled, and They Emit a HowL Chicago, Feb. 16. The 300 patrons of pu gilism who went down into Indiana io wit ness tho meeting between Myer and McAulifl'o have not becomo reconciled to tho result, and the newspapers of the city show a disposition to remove the mantle of char ity which was at the time considerately allowed to hide the to evident short-comings of the alleged exposition of the manly art of tistular attack and defense. In fact, with the passing of time and tho restoration to their customary vigor irom the drain put upon it by thirty-six hours of wakefulness and 6UlTering, the Bports aro more and more inclined to give voico to their opinions on the grace and beauty of the Delsartean exhibition in question. They point out the fact that they were kept in waiting for two days and nights in the company of as grimy a gang of toughs as one could find in a week's journey, while waiting for the tip as to time and place: that they were charged $20, and then bundled into cars with seating capacity for about half their number, the unlucky ones being compelled to stand in the aisles and on the nlattorm throughout the journey to the place of meeting, and that. after being hustled aooui; iiko a aroveoi cattle all night, without food or drink, they were further compelled to stand live hours in order to witness the spectacle of two men squaring off at each other, and doing less damace than is frequently done by a 'couple of half-trained iouts pommeling each other on the stage of a cheap variety show. They are willing now to admit that they were angled for and landed as "suckers'' in the linest style of the art. They aver, wnn more or less ucai, mai ibas merely a money -making scheme, so managed as to yield every dollar which could oe squeezed out of it. An interview with "Billv" Madden, trainer and manager for McAulitTe, lends color to this statement. Itesenting an averment to tne enect tnat ne proved himself a poor manager, "Billy" triumphantly pointed to ice balance sneet, showing enormous receipts and expenditures wnich, if invested in rye bread, would but have sharpened the hunger of the famished throng who thirsted for blood without onaftiueit in the opera-house at North Jndson, Ind., and "Billy" naively explains that the cost 01 even t his Darmecide feast could not have been half so great had it not been unfortunately necessary to de clare a dividend for the beneht of an unconscionable -rapacious sheriff. Turning sadly from this gloomy picture, however, "Billy's" face lights up, and he metaphorically licks his chops at the prospect of another 'Jgo" for even bigger money. He declares that when the two men come together again it will not be in the neighborhood of Chicago. He fancies that there are fruitful fields in the environs of San Francisco, and suggests that McAulilTe would be willing to met Myer under the auspices of the California Athletic Club, provided al ways providedthat that organization will put up a purse to be sparred for to a draw. "We will tight for the stake now. and the purse besides. That will mako a nice little pot says "Billy." , . The tivening journal says: - various excuses have been offered for tho unexpected and embarrassing fiasco at North Judson, when the two men, each having a reputation as knockers, faced ono another in a ring for nearly rive hours without getting a scratch. The most commonly accepted is that it was a put-up ob from the start, and was engineered to make money, not only by the sale of tickets, but by baiting some athletic club or coterie of sport-loving men into offering a big purse for a scrap in pri vate." The Tnbnno publishes the following in terview with a man about town: "I have often wondered how long the people would consent to be 'gulled.' Prize-fighting is a queer 'fake.' Let me tell you something. There never was a 6porting event, except a special horse-race stake, when as much as $5,000 was put up to stay. It's 'pulled down' within an hour after the time it goes up. They all talk about Billy Maddcn's 'bad management.' I tell you he's the 'smoothest duck next to PatShecdy, in the sporting line, so far as making money is concerned. Alf Kennedy and ho split nearly 7,000 Detween tnem. ui tnis amount jiyer anu McAuliffo will probably get $2,000 each. The rest Billy and Alf stow away." "But about the tight!'' Tiehtr There was nofischt. There was no intention of having a light. The boys went down there for the gate money. I don't blame them. Who wouldn't make a counlo of thousand dollars in onodavf It is more than Billy Mver would make at his trade in two venrs. ine tate was wen ad vertised, and, the 'iuckers' gave up $20 to see It. besides car fare on a special train. chartered by the management to carry tnetr SCO victims, who were informed that one price would cover the expenses. The toughs did not give up a nickel not even car tare, it wasn't tne insiae men who bet their money. The suckers did tho betting. Alf Kennedy's monhr did not go. That was simply a blufl to add color to the proceedings, To illustrate how patent the fake was to inside men. I have only to tell you that old rounders like myself went out during the fight and got breakfast, strolled around town, and then went back to see the show, lake the two weakest men that ever lived, and if they cret into a scran a real, honest fiffht I mean one would, at least, get a scratch. Now take two trained pugilists liko .Myer and ifAnlift tm in ed in strike heavv knock out blows and after nearly five hours of fiirhtincr. neither is hurt. It makes me tired.

An Alleged Distrepancy of $12,000,000 in the Accounts of the Illinois Central. New York, Feb. 16. The Sun, this morn ing, prints a very interesting and sensational article in regard to the present management of the Illinois Central railroad. The article says: - 'Vice-president Edward II. Ilarriman. of the Illinois Central, and some of his social chums whom he has made directors of that company, had a conference, yesterday, at thoKew York office of the company. It was officially stated that the business that called them together was of a routine character. Whatever tho occasion, it mado those who attended it ill-natured and un communicative. A reporter for a v allstreet newspaper man aired to get hold 01 Mr. Ilarriman, and ask him if his company would sign the agreement of the Interstate Traffic Association. Mr. Ilarriman was quoted as saying: A cither the president of the company nor I can commit the company to any pledge. The board of directors will meet to take action on this matter. Our directors will decide.' He added that a meeting to consider the matter would be held early next week. ri'i A " , !i! T -r imsisan entirely new position ior jut. Harriman to take, and before he severs his relations with the Illinois Central Railroad Company, he may wish ne had always been as punctilious about consulting his board of directors as he now appears to be. Perhaps if President btuy vesant k ish had advised with the directors he would not have assumed, as he did in his correspondence with Mr. Charles Francis Adams, that the Illinois Central is above co-operating with its neighbors to secure better rates. The little interview with Ilarriman that was published down town yesterday was promptly construed as indicating a back-down on tho part of the Fish-Harrinian management, and it unuouuieuiy meanB xuai xno company will sign the interstate-traffic agreement. It was suggested down town that at the meeting to 00 held next week a reclassitication 01 tne Doaru might do enected in order to determine who approves of the Ilar riman policy and those who do not. It also might 00 worth the time of Mr. Harriman and his associates to study the hgures which are presented herewith. Mhey were prepared by ono of the best expert accountants in the city, and the results will bear the closest scrutiny:" Tho Sun then prints a tabular statement showing the new securities issued by the Illinois Central 6ince 1SS2, and also the ex penditures since that date for permanent improvements aud extensions. It then comments on the table as follows: "It appears that the obli nations of tho Illinois Central have been increased 6inco Edward H. Harriman became the controlling spirit in its affairs 25,490,000, and besides the management has used up the $8,809,810 of the securities that were m its treasury. According to the statement, it appears that tho proceeds of $.34,305,840 of securities have passed through the hands of the Fish-liarriman management As a matter of fact the amount is larger than that, as a premium of i?3o per share was received for the 110,000 shares of new stock that was issued three years ago. That premium would amount to $3,900,000, so that the proceeds of the increase of capital account were $38,605,840. 'Against this is the report of the company showing disbursements on construction, extension and betterment ac counts of $3o,7iy,807, making a difference between the lace value of the securities issued and the cost of additions to the property of 8,587,033, and a dinerence Detween the cost and the proceeds of the securities referred to of $12,547,033. All of these figures are from the company's reports. Iiessrs. r ish and Harriman doubtless have some ex planation to make regarding this remark able discrepancy, and if so, it is clearly their duty to make it before accepting a single proxy from the stockholders of tho company. The remark was printed in the hnancial column of the bun, yester day, that the management and, the treasurer of the Illinois Central needed a thorough overhauling, and that the sooner it was done the better. Such a showing as the above seems to justi fy that statement. In looking for an expla nation 01 this wide dinerence between the receipts and disbursements of the company, it might be well to pay some attention to the commission account, if the concern keeps one, or at least discover whfct compensation Harriman has received for his services in shaking security-holders out of their properties, so that he mi cht secure them for the Illinois Central. The indica tions are that there is enough to be looked for.'7 TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. C. J.

Tramped to Death by Cattle. Chicago. Feb. 16. A dlsnatch from Rawlins. Wy., 6ay8 Independence lioek, the most noted landmark of the overland route to California, was the scene of a remarkable fatality three days ago. Daniel Hockwell came to the Territory from Ohio last August, and purchased a small ranch on Buffalo creek, near the Rock. For four weeks etoekwell has had as guests Albert and George Avery, young men whose Sarents reside near Younstown, O. Last Thursay, while out hunting, on nearing Independence Rock, they noticed some cattle forming t large circle, of which they were the center, fctoekwell, fearing a stampede, connseled flight to Independence Rock, and told them to drop their guns and run for tneir nres. titockweu rapidly got ahead of them, and on reaching the Rock was horrified on looking back to find that the young men, in their desperation, had made a stand ntraint tho maddened cattle and dlscharced their firearms in tho faces of the foremost. The beasts In the lead attempted to chance their course, but those behind forced them over the luckless young men. The entire herd of at least 500 head trampled over the bodies oi the Avervs. Tho remains were wholly unrecofimizable. Ftockwell has notified the parents of the dead men of the tragic occurrence.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS. The Distinguished Colored Man Talkf of . Current Events In His Usual Style. Interview in SL Louis Globe-Democrat. 'Have vou anvthinc to sav about the re cent political murders in ArkansasI" vra asked. "WelL I can sav " renlird Mr. Douglas. 'that evervwhere I -went I fnnndamohs all classes, both colored and white, an expres sion 01 unieignei regret over the nssassina tion of CoL John M. Clavton. They con eider his murder an act of irrievons wrong inflicted on the State, for he was an honoraDio an amiable man. 1 had but little to say about this subject in public down there, but it wasa daily topic of private conversation. Iwanrsked many time over by prominent white and colored leaders of th fctate how the fatal act w ould be regarded outside of Arkansas. I Lad to tell them that the civilization of the Htate would bo dimmed by tho blood of John M. Clayton, and for a time, unless they arrested and , punished the perpetrators, the State must suner 111 the estimation of the country as but little removed from barbarism. . Xhe assassination of Clayton andllenjamin will do more to awaken in the Northern wind a feeling unfavorable to the State and South than the murder of 100 negroes. 1 was told oy some mends that the time was unnropitions for me to visit Arkansas, but I hav tne pleasure to state that not a single act of incivilitv was shown tne xvhiln then On the contrary, to all appearance, the people were as civil as any people south oi Mason and Dixon's line. On Thursday I visited both branches of the State Legislature, and had not been in my peat as a spectator in either branch five minutes be fore a member moved that the courtesy ol the body bo extended to me. I am not 6ur but that the uction in some measure was a desire to assure me of the liberal feeling oi the State. There was no objection in eituei house to the motion." ' - 'Any political significance to be attached to your trip West!" io political phase ' whatever: sin onlr probably to den v the existence of the socalled 'negro problem, I make the problem 10 oe whether tuo American people can consistently carry out to its logical results the Constitution and laws of the United States to all classes, colors and. conditions of Its citizens; whether the government can be a3 true to tho rights of American citizenship at home as abroad, be it in South Carolina or Samoa, in Louisiana or Hayti. lJutthereis certainly a new leeiing of commence in the South. My belief is that the election of (ieneral Harrison as President has already impressed many influential citizens of .the South with the conviction that the. true policy of the South is to frown down al) violence and protect the rights of all citizens in the exercise of theelectivcfranchise. lu my lecture and addresses down there I have asked constantly that tho negro shall simply have fair play and be left to worl out 111s own destiny. I have taught that the individual States are great, but that tha Lnited States arei greater. It is better to be a small part of the whole than to le the whole of a small part. As Stephen A. Doug las used to pay, I he plank must bend to the shin, not the shin to the plank.' Tho trend of popular sentiment in the South is in this direction. Of course any improvement of the colored race, both as to educacat ion and 111 the acquisition of property, tends to hasten this result. Manv are hopeful that the events of the past few weeks and months in Arkansas will greatly subserve freedom of thought, and of speech, and of action in that State. ; As to tho negro-domination question in Arkansas. I told them that if the negro separated from them it would be their own fault, for the negro believes in them, and if he is only treated fairly they can certainly rulo their .State without the carpet-baggers gaining control through the colored man's aid. 1 was surprised to Cna some colored men so well fixed financially in Arkansas. For instance, there's Wiley Jones, of Pine BlufF, who owns the street) railroad, and anothercolored man owns hne J horses, one of which is valued at $10,000.' ' V hat is vour opinion about the demand of eome colored politicians for a colored, member of President Harrison's Cabinet Hi "1 think it is an iniudicious demand to 1 ask for a colored member of the Cabinet.' There are one hundred white men to one colored man capable to rill the position. While the black man's ability is rising to a higher order every daw yet the black man's modesty is a far greater power to-day." .nr. uougiassciosea nis interview oy staling that he was now seventy-two years of age and was feeling as strong and healthy as ho was in younger days. .
