That could only be done by' the consent and Intervention of congress. If this country were to embark in a policy of territorial enlargement or entangling alliances (contrary to American precedents and American traditions) it would be well to have this resolution discussed before the American people in the halls of congress. There was certainly no power lodged in the executive or any of the departments to commit the government to any policy that involved the assertion of physical force, or only way to break them down was by Inviting competition.

If that was not sufficient he was willing to go to the extent of proposing a law to prevent and punish them. The seiiator from Tennessee (Harris) had made a motion some days since to lay the senate substitute on table and that motion had been rejected by the senate. the vote being an exp ession of opinion that the substitute was a better bill than the house bill. The principle having been thus determined, be though it better to leave the details of the bill to the commit-tej which framed it, unless there was so no palpable error which ought to lie corrected. He asked his Democratic friends to abide by the judgment of the people on the question.

The sheriff organized a posse and after an exciting chase overtook the young man six or seven miles south of town. He fired on tbe posse, wounding one officer, and theu put spurs to his horse. Tbe sheriff took a short cut for Herold and arrived there in time to see the young man ride in.

He commanded him to halt, but Harper turned and rode in an opposite direction. He was fired on and brought to tne earth. The ball shattered his leg below the knee and he will be a cripple for life. He was taken to Ness City. Colonel Jones.

Washington, Dee. 10. A report was received from the secretary of the interior iu response to a resolution recently offered by Mr. Dawes requiring information as to alleged outrages and restraint of liberty practiced against Indian women in Alaska. The secretary says the department had no Information on the subject except "newspaper reports of uncertain value." He intimated that the s'ories were overdrawn.

Mr, Frye offered a resolution instructing the committee on foreign affairs to in-huire Into the condition of affairs at the Samoan Islands, as far as the interest nlid rights of American residents are affected; the relations of the United Stales to the islands and her obligations under existing treaties; the necessity of maintaining the neutrality or independence pi the islands; what steps had been taken in that regard by the United States government, and what action, if any, was demanded. In his (Frye's) judgment, the existing state of things ut those islands made inquiry an imperative necessity at this time, although it might disclose au exceedingly disreputable chapter of history in American diplomacy. No American citizen could question the interest pi the UnitetLStates in the preservation of the independence of Samoa. A little while ago the United States had obtained a concession of one of the most mugnili- cent harbors in the world in those islands and had established a coaling statiou. The United States bad made a treaty with Kesoiveil.

So that It seemed to him that if such a policy was to be inaugurated, it might as well be discussed on the resolution offered by the senator from Maine as in any other way or at any other time. He simply wanted to euter his caveat against the criticism with which the senator had accompanied bis resolution. The state department could not, without the most flagrant usurpation, pretend to commit the government or the people of the United States to a policy which antagonized all its former traditions and history. THE TARIFF TAKEN UP.

At 1 o'clock the senate resumed consideration of the tariff bill, the pending questions being on Mr. Harris' amendment to reduce the duty on "beams, girders, joists, angles, etc. and all structual shapes of iron or steel," from 1 1-lflc per pound to (l-lflc per pound. The amendment was advocated by Mr. Reagan, but as Mr.

McPherson desired to oiler some amendments at the beginning of the metal schedule, Mr. Harris temporarily withdrew the amendment. Mr. McPhersou thereupon moved to amend paragraph lliOtoirou in pigs, by reducing the rate of duty from 3-10 of a cent per pound to ton. He said that the rate proposed by him was that contained Iu the house bill; that it was hiith enouuh and that its adontion is quiet and no trouble is anticipated while the militia remains.

King Maletoa is a very warm friend of the United States, so warm that the fact provoked the jealousy of the German business men on the island.

Maletoa bad been a warm friend because he looked upon the United States as bound to maintain the independence of his country, in 1886, Tamesse rebelled agamst the king, but the rebellion could have been put down without difficulty, because Maletoa was king of one of the bravest people of that part of the world. The American and English representatives in Samoa, however, desiring to prevent bloodshed, called the attention of Maletoa to the obligations of the United States and Great Britain, and persuaded him to allow Ta-messe's rebellion to proceed as far ai it could, for it was a feeble one. If unaided. Maletoa therefore, did nothing. But trouble was brewing in Samoa.

Complaints came to the state department from the American consul and a commissioner was sent out and investigation made. Finally it was considered absolutely necessary there should be some settlement and a conference was agreed uoon to be held in the city of Washington in 1887 between the United States, Great Britain and Germany. That conference bad been held. In the progress of it, Germany had demanded, or asked, that she should absolutely control those Islands. Secretary Bayard had refused to comply with such an unreasonable request.

The conference had not dissolved, but had dimply taken a recess and within ten days from the beginning of that recess the German fleet had sailed fur Samoa, entered the harbor and taken possession of the Germany did this, Mr. Frye said, undoubtedly with the consent of Great Britain and with a full me any report he may desire to make me round by a tremendous blow on the neck- 1.ouisvim,e, Dec. 10.

THE PRESIDENT-ELECT. iHPUNAroits, Dec. 10. Among General Harrison's callers this afternoon was Mr. Kepumican party, xne one ma looked to a tariff for revenue only; the other to a tariff for protection, He would not undertake to define what a tariff for revenue only meant; but a tariff for protection meant a tariff where the rates were so fixed as not only to give reasonable, revenue (not prohibiting importations) but also in every feature of it to extend protection, encouragement, hope and competition among American producers.

But at the same time had come the news that the German fleet was once more sailing to Samoa. What jorf No one knew, but there was no reason to doubt that Germany intended take absolute possession of those islands, and why, he asked, should she not? Great Britain had interposed no objection to her past action and the United States had done absolutely nothing within the past live sr six months in regard to it. Why thin, should not Germany assume that the United States and Great Britain were ready to permit her to take possession of Herbert Radcliff, secretary of the Home Market club of Boston, This club is regarded as the parent organization in agitating the maintenance of a protective strongly the strict ooservence ot law." Birmingham, AIa, The cbi oner's inquest today is endeavoring to get' at the bottom of the facts in Saturday night's massacre.

Kxcitement still runs very high and the people are divided over the action of the officers. One very remarkable feature is that nearly every man killed was shot in the back, showing that the crowd had turned away when the first firing was begun. THE EXCITEMENT SUBDUED. It is reported that Hawes has just made a full confession of his crime. Business is going on as usual today, except that all saloons is closed by order of Colonel Jones and the only evidence of trouble remaining is a line of troops and cannon guarding every approach to the jail.

There is still much feeling, but it is subdued. No matter who was right or who was was wrong on Saturday, thut terrible volley has settled the desire of the mob to break down he jail. They will not try it again. Sheriff Smith is still is still in inil under arrest for murder and Chief of Police Pickard was released on $1,000 bonds this morning. Smith may leave the city under military escort until a full examination of the case is made by the coroner, but it has not been fully determined as yet.

Kansas Citv, Dee. 10. John J. Mc-Kenna, manager of the Louisiana Lumber company, was arrested last night on the charge of attempting to obtain $5,000 by fraud from Ellis Harris, a prominent real estate dealer, by means of a diamond swindle.

McKenda tried to fix Mr. Michenls, a jeweler, and have him value $2,000 worth of diamonds at $5,000. The jeweler reported the matter to the police and the arrest followed. McKenna is well known to the police and has been connected with a steady land transaction cisions of the treasury department. Mr.

Radcliff expressed himself as being thoroughly satisned with his tuterview with General Harrison, stating that the latter realized the importance of having the customs laws honestly and impartially administered, and he hoped to see the amended included a great variety of articles, some of which could be produced in this country for 40 or $58 a ton, while others could not be produced for less than $0 a ton. If it were possible to make a discrimination in duty on these articles it should be done, but it was impossible without recurring to ad yalorura principles, and experience was not favorable to that principle iu imposing duties on iron or steel. The one and one-tenth cent per pound might be a little too high on some articles, but it had been fixed by the finance committee as a fair average rate. As 'to Mr. Carnegie's monopoly be (Sherman) knew nothing abont it, except that Mr.

Carnegie had been the first to apply the continuous pro-rowinthe msmiiai tare of steel be-ims. Mr. he t.n-smoei, 1 1 patents wnu-ri eoiii'i net la tuKt-o. wgy f-om iiim, but they would soon expire.

That was one of the matters referred to remedied under his ad ministrations. Many eries are being printed about the contemplated visit of Senator Quay, of the Islands? tiermanv unaounteaiy intended to do so and to raise the German flag over them. It was undoubtedly well, Mr. Fry rerotrked sarcastically and bitterly, to fit out ships of war and send them down against the poor, miserable republic of ilayti. It was well enough for the great American republic, when Mexico took and imprisoned some American tramp to threaten war and even go to the very ragged; edge of it, but would it not be more consistent with thedignity and power of tills great republic to protect the rights of her citizens against her equals, against a country like England or a country like Germany.

One vessel, he said, seized by iiayti, a hundred vessels seized by Canada the cme backed by C.n-nt Britain, the other backed by no one. In his opinion tin American people demanded that it its power was to tie shown it should be shown against its equals, not against its inferiors, lie asked for the present consideration of the resolution and he hoped the committee on foreign relations would be active and industrious in finding out the condition of natives in those islands sad what the duty; of the United States required. Mr. Quay moved that the resolution be inferred to the committee on contiuKeut expenses and it was so refemd.
