WILLING TO SETTLE. . Mismarck Ready to Accept Bayard’s Proposal to Restore Peace in Samoa—Jack -Klein Finds Things ;Too Warm for Him §on the Islands, and Return to San ¥rancisco to Escape the Revengeful ‘Germans, Who Have, It Is Said, Been Carrying Matters with a High Hand. Bervix, Feb. 18.—1 t is said that the Goverament is willing to effect a settlement of the Samoan question upon the basis of .the United States Government’s proposal at the Washington conference—namely : The.estab‘gishment of a joint American, German and #English control over the Samoan Governmaent through the Consuls of the three counfxies at Apia. ' LonpoN, Feb. 18.—The Standard’s Berlin worvespondent says he understands that the Gierman Government is disposed to suspend Iwostilities in Samoa during the Samoan conference, but only on condition that estates Belonging to German subjects be evacuated by SBamoans and that boundary lines of the Belligerents’ possessions be marked and reapected. This can not be done officially, Bowever, because Germany regards Magaafa as a rebel leader, not as a King. The Frankfort Gazette suggests that all the three governments interested shouldreeall their present Samoan agents on the ground that they have interfered overmuch in the quarrels of the natives. , VICTORIA FAVORS A CONFERENCE. Lonpon, Feb. 18.—1 It is now admitted by persons in Ministerial confidence that the Queen’s speech, which will be read in Parfiament next Thursday, will make especial reference to the situation in Samoa, and recommend a conference between accredited representatives of the interested governments for the purpose of settling the disputed questions. : ' KLEIN ESCAPES, BAN Fraxcisco, Feb. 18.—The steamer Mariposa arrived Saturday from Australia. She brought news from Samoa up to Febrnary. Ne more fighting had taken place, it the story of events show the arbitrary and illegal - acts of -the Germans. -Among the passengers on the ateamer was Klein, the American correspondent, who left the islands for fear the Germans would kidnap him, as they charged he led the attack of Mataata's forces that ended in the loss of twenty German marines and officers. Xlein was . fiving in a hired house mnear the Awmerican consulate when on ‘January %0 he learned from a reliable source that the Germans intended to arrest and try him by court-martial. He had several farrow escapes from capture by the | German police, and on the night of January 21 sought safety on the American man-of-war Nipsic. bn'Januury 20 the captain of the German gun-boat Adler sent a letter to Cap+ain Mullan, of the Mipsic, demanding Klein’s delivery to the German military tribunal on the gun-boat Adler. Mullen promptly refused, -declaring that no American citizen <ould be tried by a military tribunal in Samoa. Klein never- lett the Nipsic after this until he was transterred to the steamer Mariposa. He will start for Washington in a few days to present his facts to the State Department. '

Klein says that he left the islands bewcause he was aware that he would have to remain on an American man-ot-war continually in = order to avoid being seized by Germans, who were evidently under instructions from Berlin to arrest him, although it . was well understood on the islands that he took no part whatever in the attack on the Germans. He says that he left a sick bed to go out to watch the attempt of the Germans to make a landing for an attack on Mataafa’s forces, but that instead of ﬁrinp" a shot or leading the natives he was a passive spectator beyond warning the Germans not to land as requested to do by the nafiives. The hatred of the Germans toward sany one stating the facts respecting the aggressions of the Germans was illustrated in the case ‘of Cnsack of the .- Samoan Times. Mr. Klein ‘has aflidvits of Vice-Consul Blackloék and -other residents asto the proper character «of his conduct: on the night of the battle ‘with the Germans on December 18. Klein declares that his published’ correspondence | has been verified by ofiicial correspondence respecting affairs on the islands. He contends' ( that the situation of all American residents, | -and especially merchants, is intolerable owing to the insolénce of German officials and soldiery. A feeling was entertained there that American rights would not be respected wunless sufficient naval force was ordered to those waters with adequate authority. When the Mariposa left the islands every thing was quiet; but the preceding month bhad been marked by lively incidents, of which only meager details have come by «able from Auckland. The fire at the “German consulate on January 9.was ac--cidental. It was extinguished mainly by the efforts of the American -and British marines, yet the next day the German Consul swore that the Ameri©cans and English were responsible for it, attributing to those nationalities the double motive of damaging German property and destroying German archives. The day after the fire it was found that Tamasese's party had really intended to attack Apia, but were prevented by that ocemrrence. - The German Consul, Dr. Enappe, on January 12 sent word to Mataafa ‘&hat he wanted to have a talk with him, bug 4he King declined the invitation unless the @onsul put his desires in writing, as otherwise he feared he would compromise his own position. Another rebel came in several days afterward and said Tamasese's party had been notified by the German #Consul - that - unless they. came down and attacked Mataafa the Germans would -go and fire upon the forces of Tamasese. On the 18th the British steam packet Richmond arrived. Mr, Moors, an American mer«chant, gtarted to take his goods off the RichJmond, and'his boat was seized by an armed German bo%f. It was 8 o'clock in the evening when the Richmond arrived, and a German guard was put aboard ©f her the mext morning. It was an‘nounced that war had been declared, and that no goods would be allowed fo land ex- j ‘cept at a certain German store, where they would be passed upou by a German store: ‘keeper. The following day formal proeclamation was made by the German Consul ‘declaring the island in ‘‘state of war,” and that any assistance to the rebels would be ~punished by martial law irrespective of na‘tionality. All vessels were declared liable to be searched. Captain Mullan protested againgt the seizure of Moors’ boat and the boat was released. : Sl

©Oonsul Blacklock wrote to Consul Knappe #gking him what he meant by ‘‘state of war.” The German Consul replied saying “smartial law had been declaied, Meanwhile it was instituted against Stephen J. «Cuasack, publisher of the Samoan Times, and o British subject, in the British High Commissioner’s Court charging the defendant with criminal libel against the German Government and navy for reprinting an article from a Ban Francisco paper on (ier‘many's aggressions in Samoa. Cusack was ‘found guilty and fined #sloo. The paper “was also suppressed. Captain Hand, of the British war ship Royalist, had been “in the meantime friendly with the Gersmans, but on the 20th the British ship JXongfellow arrived and was boarded by :an armed boat £rom the Adler, which left a guard aboard. Scarcely had the German boat left the ship’s side when a boat from the Royalist axrived to demand the reason for the presence of the Germans in charge of a BPritish ship. The German officer re-~ . fused to surrender the charge given by his orders and the English officer returned -6o his ship for further instructions. Captain - Hand, after assuring himself that the m -Fellow's papers were all right, seht a heavy - lotachment o honrd of the vessel and the. _ Germans left, On the afternoon of the. Bobh_Britiéh Consul Coetlogon fasued a ""7!'}.,“:-“,;;»5*4 ""‘ t":'?‘,v",i;v;&"i,‘-‘:-—ﬁ; PO .7. g,' W eOsLB oo fion of war. The Britih Consuls B L s e G SRR R S

for any offense against the stated regula. tions would be prosecuted by court-mar-tial. Consul Coetlogon took water on the following day andissued a proclamation that war had been declared and asked all British subjects to submit to a search. An Englishman was seized in a boat near the Richmond that day by an armed boat and forced to go on board the Adler before Captain Fritze. They swore he was an American. An officer shook his sword under his nose and said: ‘By — - you are on a Ger- . man ship now and must obey orders.” He was finally allowed to go, and immediately lodged formal complaint with the British Consul. . : - The steamer Wainui arrived from Auckland on the 23d, bringing important dispateches for the German Consul. These - were supposed to order the Consul to suspend operations until further orders from Germany. Dr. Knappe went at once to see Mataafa. The Consul intimated to the chiefs that Germany did not wish to prosecute war against them, but if they pergisted in resistance there were plenty of war ships coming from Germany to compel their submission. The war was intended for the Americans and English, and not to do Mataafa any harm. He intimated that Germany was powerful and more than a match for America and England. The = German Emperor had given him power to do as he pleased. In #reply the Samoan chiefs asked for two ~weeks’ time to consider, which was granted. On the 23d Captain Fritze issued another proclamation instructing citizens of Apia to report the quantity of arms in their possession under penalty of fine for disobedience. Mr. Fletcher, manager for McArthur & Co., remarked on the street that he believed the United States and England would make war with Germany. Captain Fritze, hearing this, summoned Fletcher to appear before the German Consul and answer for the remark reported. Fletcher put himgelf wunder the advice of the British Consul, who told him under no circumstances to answer the summons. Captain Mnllan, of the Nipsic, on the 24th wrote a strong letter respecting the proclamation. He protested that the American Government never recognized Tamasese, and that no power would allow them to seize arms unless they were being used against a friendly nation. It was found out on the 24th that a German proclamation of the most 'exacting kind had been prepared but postponed until the arrival 'of news from America. A category of offenses was contained in this reserved proclamation with penalties ranging from a fine to deportation or imprison. ment for a life term. Helping Mataafa and opposing German interests and the circulation of any printed or written matter of that nature were among the crimes catelogued. Public meetings without permission were to be prohibited. It is believed in Samoa that Mullan’s protest has much to do with the postponement of this vroclamation. N |

Notwithstanding the aid furnished by the German Government to Tamasese the latter’s forces are fading rapidly away. At the time the Mariposa sailed he had not over 60¢ men, while the army of Mataafa was receiving steady additions, the majority of them being from the camp of his rival. The armies were holding relatively the same positions they occupied since the last battle. There was much complaint among Americans over Germans tampering with the mails. Although there is an American post-office, it lis virtually under the control of the German office, and the German Consul’'s clerk has been detected breaking open private letters. Itis believed that Consul Knappe has obtained the United States secret cipher, as the Government dispatches recently received at Apia bore plain traces of having been tampered with. ; ; Australian and New Zealand papers uniformly applaud the prompt action of the United States Government in dispatching war vessels to the scene of the disturbance, and severely criticise the inaction of the home Government of Great Britain.

BAYARD IS HOPEFUL,

WasHINGTON, Feb. 18.—When shown the advices received from Samoa by steamer arriving at = San Francisco Secretary Bayard Saturday night said -that Captain Leary of the Nipsic had acted sensibly. in taking care of Klein. Of the other events chronicled in the dispatch the Secretary pointed out that since its date telegraphic advices showed that martial law had been abolished as far as it applied to foreigners, and that the German officials had: been rebuked. He had mnoticed in the newspapers, although he had no official information~con the subject, that the German Consul, Knappe, and Herr Brandeis,Tamasese’s adviser, who, according to some accounts, had'been responsible for fomenting strife, had been ordered home by the German Government, If this was true the state of affairs promised to be much relieved. Secretary Bayard 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 published. ; ;

BROUGHT BACK.

Kuhn, the Young German Charged with Murdering William Christian at Primrose, Wis.,, Returns from Europe in Charge of an Officer. :

NEw Yorg, Feb. 18.-—Sheriff John M. Estes, of Madison, Wis., arrived on the steamer Britanhic Saturday with Hans Kuhn, a young man, who was recently arrested in Queenstown charged with the murder of his employer, William . Christian, a cheesemaker in Primrose, Dane County, Wis., on the night of Decemberl3. Kuhn was found in bhis steerage berth hidden under some clothing. He 'still had in his possession a bloody knife and two valises, in which he is supposed to have carried away part of his alleged victim’s body. The sheriff and his prisoner started West at once. Kuhn has no fears that he will be hanged, for he says there is no hanging law in Wisconsin. He chuckles over the prospect of living at the !State’s expense for the rest of his life. y o [Kuhn, it is said, was known in Wisconsin as a horse-thief. He asked for and received shelter one night* in the house of the countryman whom he murdered. He got by the murder 150 in cash and an old silver watch. Kuhn,it is alleged, got Christian drunk, dragged him .from his house to his cheese factory ‘next door, laid him in a vat, split open his ‘ head with an axe and cut-up his body. He put the head in a sack and the rest of the body into two valises. He dropped the sack into a lake near by, and hired a man to help him carry the valises to Monroe. On the way the man got blood on his hands and clothes. Kuhn told him that the sachels contained newly shot rabbits, Kuhn took the cars at Monroe for New York, and sailed from there on the steamship Lord Gough. Christian was thought to be away on a spree until eight days after the murder, when two boys, while fishing, got their lines entangled in the sack containing Christian’s head: Kuhn was traced ‘aboard the Lord Gough, and the Queenstown authorities were cabled to arrest him.]

THE FLOORS GAVE WAY.

A Fourteen-Story Structure in Chicago Partially Wrecked.

Cuicaco, Feb. 18.—The “Owings Block,” anew fourteen-story structure at the corner of Dearborn and Adams streets, this city, was partially wrecked Sunday morning. The accident was probably caused by over-weighting the twelfth story with one of the ‘huge water tanks in~ tended to furnigh &= hydraulic pressure for ‘the elevators, DUnder the heavy weight the floor tiling gave way, falling through from floor to floor until the combined mass had gathered such ‘an impetus and tremendous weight that every floor down to the basement was crushed through, causing the ruin of most of the interior partition walls, A few workmen employed -in the . basement heard the orashing timbers and effected their . escape, _but had the "accident occurred on a week day, wg@nﬁwzgwnmbm of e ér‘eﬁ’w work in the building, great loss of lifa e L

CHRIST AND THE TWELVE. International Sunday-School Lesson fox! February 24, 1889. : - [Specially arranged from S. S. Quarterly.] : . LessoN TExT—Mark 6:1-13. { - GOLDEN TEXT—And they went out and preached that men should repent.—Mark 6:12, ; ~ CeNTRAL TRUTE—Our privilege and duty te make known the Gospel at home and. abroad. - TiME—Autumn of A.D. 28 and winter of A.D. 20. Jesus’ visit to His Nazareth home was in the autumn, soon after the last lesson. A little later He sends out His twelve disciples, who preach for several weeks, till the death of John in March, A.D. 29. ' Peace—Nazareth, and the towns and' villages of Galilee. ; o INTERESTING EVENTS—Between the raising of Jairus’ daughter and the going to Nazareth, Jesus heals two blind men and a dumb possessed (Matt. 9:27-34). ; PARALLEL Accounts—With vs. 1-5, Jesus at Nazareth, Matt. 13:54-58. (The visit mentioned by Luke 4:16-20 was earlier.): With vs. 6-13, Matt. 9:35-38; 10:1-42;11:13 Luke 9:1-6. {

HeLPS OVER HARD PLACES—I. Went out: from Capernaum. Own country: Nazareth, seven hours’ journey southwest from Ca-, pernaum. 2. Sabbath day: Jewish Sabbath.: Our Saturday. Synagogue: Jewish church. Astonished: at the method and effect of His teaching, and the wonders they had heard of Him. What wisdom: where did He get it? lls it from above, or beneath? Such mighty works: miracles which they had both seen and heard of. 8. The carpenter: Jesus had probably worked at the carpenter’s trade with His father. Offended: caused to stumble; their Messiah was to be a temporal prince: how could this humble mechanic be their Messiah? 5. No mighty work: because of their want of faith. 7. Called unto him: moved with compassion for the people (Matt. 9:36-38). . The twelve: the apostles whom He had chosen the previous summer just before the sermon on the mount. Two and two: to help, to counsel, and encourage each other. 8. Take nothing: make no special preparations. Serip: a small bag for provision% or other things needed. Purse: rather, girdle or'belt, where money was carried. 9. Two coats: tunics, or inner garments. 10. People there were accustomed to entertain travelers. The disciples went in the ordinary way, and with the ordinary preparation. 11. Shake off the dust: as a sign that they were not responsible for their salvation. .13. Anointed with oil: an external sign of healing power, also a symbol of anointing by the Holy Ghost. It was a common remedy in the. East. -

CommexTs—There are great underlying truths in this lesson. ~nitwe see set forth great dangers to which men are always exposed. Fornearly thirty years these Nazarenes had seen the®Saviour goingin and out among them. That they never should have noticed any thing remarkable about Him is almost imnpossible. Luke tells us that He increased in favor with man as-well as with God. How deeply His townsmen were impressed with Him during those years of silence it is of course not possible to say. Then came the time of His going forth: into the world. Soon after this rumors of His wonderful teaching and healing reached their ears. They were probably received with varied emotions, according to the natural bent of each individual mind. With truthful reports there were also, ’doubtiess, exaggerated rumors of His popularity, mingled with suspicious stories of his collisions with the acknowledged ecclesiastical leaders of the Jews. Then came His first visit to His own city (Luke 4:14:32) which resulted in His rejection. The expression, *‘ls not this Joseph’s sen?’’ seems to indicate that their previous conceptions of Him were so firmly fixed that no words or deeds could alter them. Again in our lesson we find Him in Nazareth. This time also, in spite of His wisdom and works, they were offended in Him. To them He was nothing inore than ‘<he carpenter'g son.’’ Doubtless jealousy and envy were co-operative in forming their final judgment of Him. But long familiarity with the gentle and pale t‘carpenter’s son” had much to do with their attitude. The 'same principle holds true in acquaintance with spiritual truth. Familiarity which does not lead man to obey the truth always results in a hardening of the heart towards it. No man is so hard toreach as the ‘‘Gospel-hardened sine ner.”” The more revivals he has been through, the more intimate his acquaintance with the Scripture, the larger his circle of Christian friends, the more impregnable to. truth does he seem to be.—Rev. A.F, Schauffler. . : PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. Ryt

1. Every Christian should be a home mis. sionary. . 2. The Gospelhears the marks ofits Divine origin. ;

3. The world is full of prejudices against the truth.

4. Christ, 'as a capgnter, honored and glorified daily toil. . - 5. The greatest men often rise from lowly positions.

- 6. Unbulief prevents us from receiving the best blessings from God. %. It is well to do Christian work two by two. s

8. We should do our Christian work in the simplest way, to call attention chiefly to the truth itself.

9. We are more guilty than these Galileeans if we reject Christ. 10. Let good' works for the body accompany the good words of the Gospel.

How to Keep the Lips Soft.

-To keep the face and lips soft and smooth they should be anointed daily with cold eream or glycerine and rose-water. A little experience will prove which is best suited to one’s use. The cold .cream may be made at home, at a decided saving from druggists’ charges. The formula is as follows: ‘“Two ounces of spermaceti, one ounce of white wax, two ounces of almond oil, two ounces of rose-water. Put the spermaceti wax and oil in a china ves--sel on the back of the stove until they are all dissolved. Liftit off and stirin the rose-water, -continuing to stir until the compound is dis§olved. This is excellent and comforting for chapped hands. It should be rubbed on the face just before retiring. During the winterit is an excel‘lent plan to rub a little cold cream or glycerine on the face before going out into a piercing wind; it is a preventive of chap ping.—Detroit Feee Press, —l ) P NOTES ON NOTABLES.

A QUESTION OF LIBERTY. What High Protection Means and Why Its Burdens Must Be Removed. : Hon. Roger Q. Mills makes a concise statement of the necessity of tariff reform when he says that ‘‘the same broad principle runs through industrial and human freedom and itis bound to prevail.”’ Between the parties on the tariff issue, the question is altogether this of liberty. There is no political liberty apart from indusirial and commercial liberty. It is not a question of percentages, but of system of government. The government of a free people must, to preserve their freedom, take their money as taxes. As long as taxes are. just and equal, it makes no great difference how they are levied. Tariff taxes considered merely as taxes for government revenue and restricted to government needs are the best. Beyond this they are the worst—the most insidious ine struments of oppression that tyranny ever devised to accomplish by fraud and indirection what it fears to attempt by an open exercise of power. If it were not a question of liberty, the whole issue on the tariff would soon disappear. Sixty million people would not long listen to wrangles over percentages, but when their rights and their freedom are concerned they will listen, and it will not be long before they will cease to listen, to act. The whole plutocratic power of the country is massed in support of the system that has made plutocracy possible in America; that has fastened on the country an industrial and commer= cial slavery under which the vast majority of the people are required to blindly abandon their industrial and commercial rights—not to the government they have,established, but to & class created by class law; with none of the restraints of an official governing class, but with all its vices.

The conditions thus created are not to be borne by a people that desires to remain free. Not only is the serfdom of labor consequent upon them, but a worse consequence is the ' negation of the right of the American citizen to control his own affairs in every thing that does not involve unjust interference with the rights of others. If the American citizen has any liberty at all it is the liberty of wearing what clothing he pleases without Government interference; of selecting his own food, of determining for himself what articles it is best for him to buy and what not to buy. v It is not denied, and it can not be denied, that the protectionists refuse to concede that any such right exists. Their whole theory is that the American citizen must be forced by a juggle of the tax laws to use goods of one brand only—the goods that have the American Protective Trust brand on them.

President Cleveland fitly characterized this system when he called it “the communism of capital.”’ It is a tymranny that will be overthrown. The question is of liberty, not of per cent. —St. Louis Republic.

A Sample of G. O. P. Dishonesty.

Some Republican Senator of an inquiring turn of mind—Bill Chandler, for instance—ought todirect the attention of the Senate and the country to the fact that Republican control of the United States Senate is due fo the suppression of the Democratic votes in the State of New York. This is not done avowedly, the form of a free vote being kept up, but it is done as effectively as it would be if there were a law on: the statute book of New York, put there by Republican. legislators, declaring that in legislative elections one Republican vote should count as much as two Democratic votes. Republican Legislature after Republican Legislature has persistently refused to order an enumeration of the inhabitants of the State of New York; though required by the constitution so to do, and Democratic counties are deprived of their proportional strength in the Senate and the Assembly.

NERVOUS DISEASES. ._ Asacure for evelx\iy class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant ,and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and mosé delicate individual. Nine-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family isheir, are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of de%rigity of the brain, spinall) marrotw and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied, and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the ‘body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of %erfect nutrition, Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of ntptriment necessary to' repair the wear our %resent mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This recent produetion of the South American Continent has been found, by analysis, to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervous
