ANNA DICKINSON. Anna Dickinson
is failure i'll the love scenes OF her own
plays. When the experienced actsr
sidles up to her and reaches his arms
around her rigid waist she grabs him by
the wrist ana holds him of at arms
length while he says his piece; and thea,
when she reaches the melting mUmeDt
and lowers her head TO let it droop upos
his shoulder, the constrained action is
so like the gesture of a venerable Will
iam-soat in the act Of assisting a teasing
boy over pasture-fence, tnat the aud-
ence gleefully look to see the unhappy
lover butted clearly over into the orchas-
tra-fddles, and there is general muf.
muir of disappointment when he braces
his feet and receives the drop oi her
head with scarcely audible grunI.--

SAMOA.
The American Flag Insulted.
An Appeal for Protection TO a French
Gunboat.
The Samoan Islands Ask to be Annexed 10
the United States.

San Francisco, Nov. S.-The schoon-
er Isabel, from Apia, Navigators
Island, brought among her passengers
McClOud Mamea, the Secretary of
State of Samoa, en- route to Washing
ton to arrange treaty whereby the
Samoan Islands may be placed under
the protection of the United States
Government. 1t is represented by pas
sengers of the Isabel that the German
and British Consuls resident on the
Island have been administering affairs
with so high n hand that the natives
can no longer stand the oppression.
One Of the passengers has in his pos
session copy of proclamation of the
British Consul levying $4,000 on the
natives. Since this proclamation was
issued other fines amounting to $50, 900
more have been levied, equal to tax
of s. on each male adult. 1t is repre-
sented that the sentiment of the ma
tives is almost unanimously in favor of
some connection with the United
States.
The Bulletin this evening publishes
the following editorial concerning re-
cent events in Samoa: On the 21st Of
September an armed band of men,
headed by an Englishman named
Hunt, made forcible entrance into the
American consulate at Apia. The
leader of the band ordered Mr.. Grit
fifth, the American consul, to vacate
the premises and, on his refusing,
placed a revolver at his head and caused
him to be thrust into the street. Hunt
gave the archives of the consulate into
the custody OF Captain Wright, an
American. The life of the consul was
threatened by Hunt, if the former
raised the consular flag. Three or four
days after this occurred a French gun
boat arrived and Consul Griffith ap-
pealed to Capt. Auber, of the Scignelay,
for the protection of both the French
and American flags, and an armed es-
cort was sent on shore to arrest the
assailants, but the parties had not been
found at latest advices. The United
States consul remained on board the
French ship until the day before her
sailing for this port. A request was
then sent to the native authorities for
protection to the American flag, and a
favorable answer having been received,
with the promise of an armed guard for
protection, Mr.. Griffith went ashore
with tie American and French flags
unfuiled. No further indignities were
offered, bnt it was understood that the
consul would change his residence for
greater protection to the native capital.
A more particular account of these pro-
ceedings has been forwarded to Wash
ington.

WASHINGTON.
The Army Appropriation Bill.

Washington, Nov. s.-The reading
and discussion of the army appropria-
tiOn bill occupied the attention of the
House to-day. The strongest opposi-
tion to any reduction of tie army or
curtailment of appropriations for its
support was manifested. 1t was urged
that Texas had expendedi S1S, ,OO0,-
600 for the defense of the frontier, and
if it were not for Texas troops to-day
Gen. Ord would not be able to MAIN
tain himself so miles west of San An
tonic. -tt A..,a .t..t.t,r'f
Schleicher offered an amendment
striking out the clause which prohibits
recruiting the army above its present
strength, and said that though the
President had given orders to follow
the Mexican marauders over the bor-
der Gen. Ord had been afraid to do so
because his only available movable
force consisted of 500, Willie there
were thousands of men ou the other
side of the Rio Grande who deiied the
United States Government. The COM
mittee had taken pains to inform it
self, and every army officer said the
present force was not sufficient.
Conger suggested that moderate
rate of interest ought TO lie raid on
claims past due.
Banks favored keeping the army up
to the authorized standard. He would
vote to send 10000 or $1,000 men to
Texas, but not across the border, to
prevent war.
Phillips said that this morning the
Adjutant General told him that from
the best data the army stood at about
10000 to $4,000 strong. He wished to
ask the committee on appropriations if
they desired to keep. it down to the
standard to which it had been reduced
by Joseph and Sitting Bull.
