The acquisition Of Samon.
New York Evening Post.

A government may acquire territory
by treaty or by conquest. 1t may estab-
fish n protectoratc over a foreign coun-
try-if indeed this is substantially a
different proceeding-in the same way.
We do not understand that the United
States has taken either of these steps
toward the acquisition or protection of
Samoa.
If there has been war between the
Samoan government and u own, it has
been carried on under the rose, so to
speak. The military expedition must
have moved in that perfect silence which
Lear contemplated when he suggested
the precautionary measure Of shoeing II
troop of horse with felt. The cartridges
used must all have been blank and the
very guns muflled. The hostilities have
escaped the attention of yigilant news
paper correspondents, who rarely miss
s~nything. We do not believe that such
a war has been going o We do not
believe that the United States has ac-
quired Samoa by conquest, or that they
have established a protectoratc over it
by that process.
There remains the method of treaty.
If u convention has been negotiated be-
tween high contracting Samoan and
American powers it is Il secret conven-
ton; and the secret has been kept re-
markedly well. Not a hint has been
dropped of the sending of any minister
plenipotentiary from Washington to
make such Il treaty; not a hint OF the
intention of our administration to at
tempt such a thing. 1t is very unlikely
that the notion would find Judgment in
the mind of the president or secretary
of state. The performances Of Stein
berger are too fresh in the general re-
collection for the admins ration to do
anything about Samoa except to let it
severely alone-almost rs severely alone
as San Domingo. The theory that there
is in existence a treaty providing for the
annexation of Samoa to the United
States or for an alliance of any nature
between the two countries may be dis
missed. 1t follows hat there has been
no acquisition, there is no protectorate.
Another thing may follow. Consul
Griffin may very speedily follow home
the news Of his recent ridiculous doings
in hosting the federal flag at the kings
house and in going through certain alb
surd motions in imitation Of Steinber-
ger to signify the ccssion and acceptance
Of the islands. Perhaps the story is not
true; but certainly there is a case for
investigation by the state department,
and, if the news should be confirmed,
for a prompt recall of Mr.. Griffin.

4 Presentiment Of Death.

The Great Falls IN. H. Journal says
that the father of Roscoe Pond, who was
drowned at West Lebanon last week,
had Il vivid premonition of his death.
Mr.. Pond had been stopping at Oean-
quit, and some days before the accident
he dreamed that he saw Roscoe slide
from rocks and become engulphed in
the waves. So vivid was it that he
could not get rid Of the impression, and
Saturday he went down to the beach to
see if it was all safe, and when he came
away cautioned his children over and
over again to be very careful. At 3
o'clock Thursday afternoon the dream
had It's fulfllment. Roscoe had fixed a
comfortable place for his mother to lie
down on the shore, chcerily saying that
he would be back He went in
bathing with alad ten years old. While
playing on the rocks his feet slipped,
and an undercurrent quickly took him
beyond human help.

WRECKED.
Loss Of the Steamship Ellen.

A New York dispatch of the nth
inst, saws: THE Star and Herald Pana-
ma special, just received, announces
the total loss of the Pacific Steam Navi-
cation Company's boat Ellen" Capt,
Coalhuth, on the morning of the 10Th
of July, at Losville, 20 miles north of
Valparaiso. Four bodies had been re,
covered. Forty-three of the crew and
passengers had reached the shore in
safety. Twenty were sill on the rocks.
A British war vessel and a CHILEAN gun
boat went to the scene of the wreck rs
soon as reported, but We're unable TO
render assistance, owing to the rough
weather and fog. The survivors ON the
rocks, from exposure and want of food,
THREW THEMSELVES INTO THE SEA
to end their misery. Only three were
saved. The correspondent writes that
out of q crew Of g. all told and passen-
gers, there are probably sixty-three
saved. There could not have been less
than ninety to one hundred passengers.
The
LOSS OF LIFE,
therefore, may be estimated at about
II hundred persons. The commander
of the vessel is thought to be among the
lost.

Lost in a Desert.

A dispatch was received at army head
quarters yesterday, stating that Captain
Nolan and the survivors of his compa-
ny had turned up at Fort Concho, in
the western central part of Texas.
Some days ago this command was sent
out on a scouting expedition to follow
up the trail of some marauding Indians
and cattle-thieves. There were some
sixty men in the party, mounted, all
told. When out upon the arid desert
they lost their way, and, worse than all,
ran out Of food and water. In a strange
country, lost and far away from any aid,
these men wandered over Il desert,
sandy waste, without shelter. Becom-
ing feyered from exposure and starva-
ton and the lack of water to quench
their burning thirst, they separated, none
knew whittier. Their privatiOns and
suiierings no pen car picture or tongue
can tell. For eighty-six long and
m%ournful hours they endured without a
mouthful to eat or drink. BY dint of
GOODNESS and hopeful courage, Captain
Nolan kept most Of his men together,
and yesterday the tidings came that
most Of them were safe. Two Of the
soldiers persisted, and three are missing;
they probably have died on the plain.
Forty horses and mules died of the
stock with the party. The fate of the
three missing ones Will ha,dlr eyer be
known.-Ch Chicago Tribune, Aug. s.

ApPREHENSIONS OF SERIOUS FAMINE

nlcated to you at the opening of the
session, have, | am grieved to say, been

Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1877-08-22

This is reduced some seven hundred
thousand dollars by a deficiency on pro
prietary roads.
Speaking of the falling off in business
in the past year and the prospects of Il
revival this fall,
PRESIDENT E SAYS:
The gross earnings ofthc united roads
for the first half of the fiscal year up to
December 1st, were less by 1884, 5lS.S0
than those of the corr, spending six
months of the preceding year, but the
falling off in earnings was more than
met by the reduction in expenses and
the result was a gain of S2lS, 920.40 in
the net increase of the company. Ex-
pectations were entertained that the
last half of the fiscal year would, with
the continuance of decreased expenses,
show as favorable net result as did the
corresponding period of the previous
year, III q sufficient amount to justify a
moderate dividend on the preferred
stock in June, and leave a handsome
surplus to the credit of the years in
come. This expectation was frustrated
by the light business of the winter and
spring. Low prices for freight which al
ways come from a lack of business by
the various routes, and the low rates OBJ
tanned under the operations of the
RESTRICTIVE LAWS
of Iowa, have in part conduced to the re-
duction of earnings. The general and
wide spread depression prevailing
through the country would have
weighed still more heavily upon our
revenue during the last year had the
resources from which the company de-
rives its business been less varied than
they are. The present eason has al
ready sufficiently advanced to assure an
abundant harvest in the west and north
west, especially of wheat. Every indica-
ton points to an early and constant de-
mand for breadstufis and the traffic on
railroads will soon feel the movement.
THERE Is ENCOURAGEMENT
in a change from the old years bust
ness to the new, in the prospect of an
improvement III all sources of revenue
during the new fiscal year, and in a
certainty Of a corresponding increase IN
the value Of the stocks and bonds Of the
company.
The report says on this point: the
value of the property to its owners, and
its efficiency to the public are steadily
enhanced by improvements of a dura-
BILE character made in Il permanent
way.
Steel TRACK

THE Republicans of Wisconsin have
not secured the Legislature after all. The
Republicans are in minority of two or
three in the lower House, while they
have the Senate by handsome major
ity. The latest returns make the divis-
ion thus; Senate, 81 Republicans, 12
Democrats; House, 4S Republicans, 40
Democrats, Greenbackers, 8 Independ-
ents, Socialist and one district still in
doubt. OF course it becomes interesting
to know how the GreenbaCk and Indea
pendent members will act politically,
and, as is very natural under the cirCum-
stances, both parties are claiming them.
