The saddest man to be seen about Washington nowadays is John Milton Turner, the colored statesman of St. Louis. He is a victim of misplaced confidence. In order to secure the passage of a bill in which he was interested, Mr. Turner changed his political garments, con fessed himself a convert to tho principles of the Democracy, and organized the notorious colored Democratic convention that met in Indianapolit and ratified Cleveland's nomination, last June. Ho realizes now that he made a very great mistake, and is trying to get back into the Republican tent by crawling under tne canvas. Fruitless Democratic Canons. Washington, Feb. 21.

Tirard Succeeds in Completing the Work Undertaken by M. Meline, And Organizes a New French Ministry, Whose Policy Will Be Announced To-ilorrow (ierman Version of the Samoan Trouble. TIIE BRITISH PARLIAMENT. Address from the Queen Outlining Measures That Will be Presented. London", Feb. 21. Parliament reassembled to-day. Following is the speech of the Queen, opening the session: 'My Lords and Gentlemen During the brief period since the close of the last session nothing has happened to affect the cordial relations between myself and other powers. The operations successfully completed in Egypt, a few days before the prorogation of Parliament, effected their object, and I do not see any ground for apprehending a renewal of the disturbance in the neighborhood of Suakim. "The negotiatious which I directed to be opened with Thibet for tho prevention of encroachment upon my rights over Sikkim have not been brought to a favorable conclusion, but I hope that further military operations will not bo necessary. "1 have consented to take part in a conference with Germany and America, at Berlin, upon the Samoan question. This will be a continuation of the conference recently held in Washington on the same subject. "Gentlemen of the House of Commons The unceasing expenditures upon warlike preparations incurred by other European nations has rendered necessary an increase in the precautions hitherto taken for the safety of our shores and commerce. The counsels by which other powers are guided, and which dispose of their vast forces, are at present uniformly friendly to England, but I have no right to assume that this condition is necessarily secure from the possibility of change. "My Lords and Gentlemen Some portions of the bill presented in 1888 for amending local government in England and Wales were laid aside, owing to pressure upon tne time oi parliament, r rom tne same cause it was impossible to enter upon the Jnestion of local government in Scotland, tills UDon these matters will be submitted. Early in tho session your attention will bo asked to measures for the development of the material resources of Ireland and for amending tho constitution of the various Tribunals navmg sp ciai jurisdiction over real property in Ireland. The statutes recently passed for the restoration of order and confidence in Ireland have alrealy been attended with salutary results. Legislation will be necessary for the execution of the sugar convention, and also for the completion of the conversion of the three per cent, annuities. The state of tho gold coinage has for years past been the subject of legitimate complaint, and a measure restoring it to a satisfactory condition will bo submitted. "Though the commission appointed to inquire into the civil establishments of the kingdom has not yet completed its labors, it has made a valuable report. Proposals for legislation arising therefrom will be submitted. "Several subjects which the increasing burden of your duties shut out from consideration during the last session will be submitted again. Among them are measnres relating to titles, regulating tho universities in Scotland, determining the liability of employers in case of accidents to employes, establishing a department of agriculture, cheapening the transfer of land, and remedying the abuses attaching to tho limited liabilitj- of joint stock companies." Aftor tho reading of the Queen's speech, Mr. John Morley gave notice that he would introduce an amendment to tho address in . 1 A A 1 1 A A rcpiy to tne speecu irom tne tnrone. con demning the administration of the law in Ireland as harsh, unjust and oppressive, and asking that measures be adopted to content the Irish and re-establish a real union of Great Britain and Ireland. Mr. Gladstone, in opening tho debate on the address in reply to tho Queen's speech, said he hoped tho government would enlighten the House regarding affairs in Samoa and Zauzibar at the earliest possible moment. Remarking that the government r described their own armaments as precautions for defense, while they spoke of other nations' armaments as warlike preparations, Mr. Gladstone said that Parliament must bo very exacting as regards proot oi the necessity oi any unusual increase of credits for defense. He made a sarcastic reference to the ambitious legislative programme outlined by tho royal speech and expressed an earnest hope that Parlia ment would bo prorogued before Christmas eve. In complaining mat there was no indication of legislation acceptable to tho Irish people, he said that the government bad rendered an elaborate lrisn debate in evitable by inserting a sentence in the ad dress implying approval of their Irish policy, which was totally at variance with the views of the opposition. Ho intimated that ho would ofler no technical opposition should the government be willing to amend the sentence. In conclusion, he promised to assist tho government in forwarding the business of the country. Mr. W. H. Smith, the government leader, declared that tho government was quite ready to meet Mr. Gladstone a challenge. With regard to Mr. Gladstone's expression of regret that tne government bad seen no way to contract its responsibilities in Eg'pt, the ministry had seen no reason to justify a departure from the pledges given by the lato government. Regarding tho Samoan question, ho said that papers were being prepared, but that pending the conierence ino government was uname to ex press any decided opinion on the subject, although ho might state that Germany had strongly declared that 6he would not recede from any of her engagements as to the rights of Englishmen and Americans in Samoa. In the conrse she was taking in East Africa, Germany was not exercising any power not contemplatedby the arrangement made with England in 18JS5. The pa pers would be tabled at an early day. The government had no intention to impute unworthy or aggressive motives to foreign nations, nor aid it doubt their assurances of friendship, but the country must be in a position to defend her trade and her food supply. Cheers. 1- The Scottish lacal-gov-erument measure would be followed by a bill to establish district councils in England. Ho hoped the House would leave the subject of Ireland lor a separate det Several minor speeches followed, criticis ing the government's policy. Sir James lergusson, Under ioreign Secretary, said that the British government could not be held responsible for the commercial and mission stations on LakeNyassa. The gov ernment had protested against the attempt of Portugal to close tne .ambesi, and bad asserted the right of tho occupants of tho stations to import freely any arras and munitions they required. In explaining t he position in East Africa he declared that Rritish interests had not suffered from Germany's action, nor from the blockade, but that, on the contrary. British trade and relations with the na tives bad steadily improved, ine govern ment hoped that the Samoan conference would be attended with the happiest re sults. In defending the results of tho Chamberlain mission to the United States ho denied that the mission had been a failure, as the temporary arraugement had worked so well that no English or American vessels had been seized. He denied that friendly relations between England and America had been interrupted by the Sckville incident. Those ties, he said, vere too close and strong to be so easily broken. Mr. Pryce criticised tho ooudnct of the government in regard to Zanzibar and Samoa, and asked information in regard to the refusal of the government to accept America's invitation to a maritime conference. Sir James Fergusson admitted that in consequence of an error in imparting the invitation tho government at first refused. When tho error was roctiiicd, the govern

ment offered to accept the invitation, but

it was then found too late to hold the meet ing of such a body in Washington. Mr. Gladstone was enthusiastically cheered by the opposition on entering the Jiouse. me aiiniStcnaiiBis cueereu. .air. Balfour, while the opposition hissed and shouted "Piggott." Mr. Smith him was sessimilarly greeted. it is universally aumiucu uiai mo sion will be the liercest on record. The Irish actions of the government will be vigilantly watched. The programme is ap proved by Mr. Gladstone. THE TROUBLES IN SAMOA. German Version of the Situation Action of British and American Consuls. San Francisco, Feb. 21. A consular letter 6ent out from Apia, Jan. 30, to the different German consulates, and giving the German version of affairs in Samoa, is printed in the Honolulu Bulletin of Feb. 12, which reaches here by 6teamer. Speaking of the situation on the island, the letter says: "Nearly all black plantation men have been driven from their plantations bv Ma-taafa-'s men, Vaitele plantation alone losing not less that 340 men. Pigs, poultry and horses have also been driven on by armed bands of men. On several occasions dwellings of the planters have been robbed and inhabitants threatened witu violence." After quoting the order of the German consul, Knappe, proclaiming a state of war at Samoa, the letter continues, the follow ing being remaining portions: "On account of the above, tho foreign residents becamo alarmed, and wondered what the next move bv the Germans would be. All the goods brought by the Richmond wero searched bv olhcers from the German men-of-war. This action was rendered necessary from the fact that on her previous trin the Richmond had imported 27,000 pounds of ammunition, which was secretecl in barrels supposed to contain salt meat. According to tho proclamation, any person giving advice to 3lataala would bo liable to arrest.

fKOCEEDiyGS OF CONGRESS. The Senate Amends the Election Investigation Resolution and the Appropriation Bill. Washington, Feb. 21. The committee on public buildings and grounds reported a resolution directing tho President of tho Senate to issue his warrant commanding tho Sergeat-at-arms forthwith to arrest and bring to the bar of the Senate Thomas D. Fister to show cause why he should not bo punished for contempt. Mr. Morgan, remarking that tho resolution presented some delicate points of law, objected to its present consideration, and it went over until Monday. Fister is the employe of the supervising architect's oftice who refused to answer the question as to the collection in the office of money for political purposes. Mr. Stockbridge presented two immense packages of petitions in favor of the "Sunday rest law," and sent them to the Clerk's desk by a couple of pages, who were almost overburdened by the load. Mr. Dawes, from the committee on Indian atlairs. reported the Senate bill appropriating 1,1)12,942 to pay in full tho Seminole nation of Indians for all their right to certain lands in tho Indian Territory. Placed on the calendar. The conference report on the legislative appropriation bill was presented and

agreed to. Air. Plumb, from tho committee on apSropriatious, reported back thq Agricultural department appropriation bill, and said he would call it up ah soon as tho sundry civil bill was disposed of. The Senate bill to authorize the sale of a tract of laud in the military reservation cf Fort Leavenworth, at not less than $300 per acre, was reported and passed. The Senate then proceeded to tho consideration of tho resolution reported from tho committeo on privileges and elections to investigate alleged election outrages in certain States. The resolution having been read. Mr. Saulsbury moved to insert the word "bribery," ana Mr. Hoar accepted the amendment. Mr. Pasco moved to insert the words 'or other unlawful use of money," and Mr. Hoar also accepted the amendment. Mr. Gorman objected to tho resolution, and, at 2 o'clock, the resolution was lain aside informally, Mr. Gorman still retaining the floor, and the Senate resumed consideration ot the sundry civil appropriation bill, the pending question being on tho amendment as to the steam plate-printing machines. Mr. Blair took the floor to argno against tho amendment, but yielded in order to permit Mr. Voorheesto offer an amendment to tho resolution as to election outrages, directing tho committee to inquire, also, whether money was. corruptly and unlawfully used in the control of the election in November, 18S8, in any of the States, and to examine into the various suras of money raised for such purpose, by whom paid, bv whom collected, and to whom disbursed. Mr. Blair then went on with his argument. At 8:45 the presiding officer announced that the enrolled bill for tho admission of tho States of North Dakota. South Dakota, Montana and Washington had been signed by him and by tho Speaker of tho House. It was then 6ent to tho President for his approval. In the course of his speech Mr. Blair spoke of Mr. Graves, superintendent of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, as 'tho agent and attorney of the steam press owners, to all appearances," and as "probably having his official head in his pocket," and the report of the Senate committee as a "rotten report" and as "not worth a rush." Mr. Morrill, a member of tho finance committee, resented, with much spirit, the remark of Mr. Blair as to tho report being a rotten report. He declared that tho subject had been fairly, fully and honestly investigated. He also heard with some pain, ho said, the chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing stigmatized as an unworthy officer. While not agreeing in politics with that gentleman, who was understood to be a mugwump, he believed that no officer in the Treasury Department stood higher in reputation for ability and integrity. After a long debate, tho amendment, as reported by the committee on appropriations, was agreed to. The amendment allows as royalty for the use of the machines 50 cents per 1,000 impressions, instead of ono cent, as provided by tho House; strikes out of the proviso bill on the subject and substitutes for it the following: "And unless the patentees of said steam presses shall accept the rate per thousand sheets herein provided, the said presses shall not be used by the government after tho close of the present liscal year; provided, that there shall not be an increase of the number of steam-plato printing-machines of tho character now employed in the Engraving and Printing Bureau." Further amendments were reported from the committee on appropriat ions, and agreed to, as fqllows: Appropriating $50,000 for the purchase of site and completion of building for a postothco at Sedaha, Mo.; appropriating $75,000 additional for tho expenses of the international conference of American states; appropriating 38,000 for repair of roads, etc., at the Presidio military post, San Francisco; appropriating $36,000 for light-house and fog-signal on tho eastern end of the breakwater at Chicago, as a substitute for the. House item of 5,200. Mr. Mitchell offered two amendmennts, which wero agreed to, appropriating $so,000 for a lieht-house at Hecate Head, Snislaw river, Oregon, and 30,000 additional for a light-house on tho headlands near tho mouth of the Umbqua river, Oregon. Mr. Harris offered an amendment, which was agreed to, appropriating 335,000 additional, under the head of "prevention of epidemics." Mr. Hiscock offered an amendment appropriating 300,000 for the expenses of an adequate preparation for an appropriate celebration of the centennial of the Constitution of the United States. The voto on tho amendment resulted yeas 10, nays 12 no quorum. A motion to adjourn having been made Mr. Harris gave notice that, if such a thing occurred again during the expiring hours Congress (the absence of a quorum), ho would insist on a regular call of the benate, and on having the Scrgeant-at-arms send for absent members. Mr. Blair withdrew from tho Congressional Record tho epithet which he had applied to the report of the finance committee, and modified his remarks as to Mr. Graves. Tho Senate then adjourned. Considering the Appropriation Bills. Washington, Feb. 21. The first gun fired to-day in the contest between tho ways and means committeo and the committee on appropriations was manned by Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, who presented a resolution amending the rules so as to provide that "on day of . immediately af ter tho reading of tho journal, the House shall proceed in committee of the whole to the consideration of tho Cowles bill, and at 4 oVlock on that date the bill shall be reported to tho House, with such amendments as may have been agreed to in committee, and tho previous qnestion shall bo considered as ordered on tho amendments, the en grossing, and the reading, and tho passage of the bill, the votes thereon shall be forthwith taken; and in case the bill shall not be taken up on this date this shall be a continuing order in all respects until one legislative day shall have been occupied as nerein specified; and providing that a yea and nay vote shall be taken on the substituto reported by 3Ir. Forney, of Alabamal on behalf of the minority of the appronnation committee. After the consideration of the bill has been entered upon, no dilatory motions shall be entertained by tho Sneaker." The resolution was referred to the committeo on rules. Mr. Randall also asked consent for tho immediate consideration of a resolution providing for tho daily meeting of tho House at 10 o'clock, aud tho consideration for one hour of measures called up by unanimous consent. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, objected, and tho resolution was referred to the committee on rules. Mr. Chipman, of Michigan, endeavored to secure a night session for the consideration of resolutions accepting, on behalf of tho United States, the statue of Lewis Cass, presented by the State of Michigan, but on objections of Mr. Cnsp and Mr. Randall his effort was futile, and the House went into committeo of the whole Mr. Turner, of Georgia, in tho chair on tho postoffice appropriation bill. On motion of Mr. Adams, of Illinois, the salary of superintendent of registrv at Chicago was fixed at 40 per cent, of the salary of the postmaster. . Messrs.

They pointed out that the growing city of Chicago was inadequately supplied with letter-carriers, and advocated an increase in the number of trips made daily, especially in the business portions of tho city. Their etforts were, however, unsuccessful. Mr. Lawler also endeavored to nave a proviso inserted in tho bill forbidding the close of tho Chicago mail-bag repair shops. but he was again unsuccesslul. Having concluded the consideration of the bill, the committee rose. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, moved to recommit the bill, with instructions to the postoffice committee to report it back with the) classification features eliminated. Lostyeas, 54; nays, 172. The bill was passed. Mr. Forney, of Alabama, preiented tho conference report on the legLslativc, execuiive anu. judicial appropriation inn, uuu ib was agreed to. The House then went into committee of wholes Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, in tho chair on the deficiency appropriation bill. On motion of Mr. Scott, of Pennsylvania, an amendment was adopted appropriating $6,000 to pay Daniel Lamont, the President's Erivato secretary, the difference between is present salary and $5,000 a year, the saiarv which his successor will receive. Mr. Conger, of Iowa, moved to increase from S78.000 to $128,000 the appropriation for furnishing buildings. This brought on debate, in which Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, charged the committeo on appropriations with disgraceful treatment of the publio buildings. Mr. Randall defended the committee's action, and said that it had examined into the contracts and knew that the estimates of the department could be cut down onehalf without inconvenience to the publio service. It had been shown that there had been gross extravagance in the expenditures for fnrniture. Furniture had been bought fit for palaces rather than for the comfort of a Democratic administration. ILanghtcr.J After further debate the amendment was yected, and, without completing the bill, tco committee rose and tho House adjourned. Lossea by Fire. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
