SAMOAN AFFAIRS.-Ihe State De-
partment at Washington, has received
advices from Samoa that ian Ameri-
can citizen" has been rendered the
position of head of the nation, with alb
soIu,e authority; also, that war between
the contending factions is expected,
which menaces the peace Of the coun-
try and threatens to jeopardize the
commercial interest of foreign residents.
The latter information has been made
the subject of special consideration by
the President and State and Navy off
Gals and orders have been sent to
Rear Admiral Rod gers, commanding
the Pacific Station, to send vessel #
war az soon as possible to Samoa to
protect our interests. 1t has also been
determined chat our naval vessels
cruising in the Pacific, shall visit Pago
several times each year for the purpose
of strengthening our interests and pro-
tecting our citizens in their CONNER
cial and civil relations. The form of
government of Samoa is that of an
elective monarchy, and the contention
for the throne grows out of dispute
in effect similar to the election in this
country in 1876. There are no appre
tensions in official circles at Washing
ton that the friendly relations already
established will be disturbed, and IT
remains under consideration by the
nameless Anne rican gentleman to
whom the throne has been rendered
whether he will accept the honor.

CANADA,

OTTAWA, March l5.-After long
speech last night, the tariff customs and
excise resolutions passed by consent, and
go into force to-day. The right is re-
served to discuss and move amendments of
concurrence.
Ia the course of speech on the tariff
changes last night. Mr.. Tilley said larger
proportionate share of our revenues must
be derived from the United States than
from England, and since the United States
abrogated the reciprocity treaty, goods had
largely been admitted free. 1t was hoped
this would induce the United States to deal
as literally by US, but this expectation was
not realized. We would be compelled tC
impose on United States goods higher
share of duty than before, but coupled
with this condition, that when the United
States were willing to take off any portion
of their duty we were ready to meet them.
The government were in favor of reciproc
ity of tariffs in hopes of judicious reci-
procity IN trade.

ST. LOUIS, March 16.-A large number
of negroes have recently arrived here from
Vicksburg and other parts of Mississippi
and Louisiana, under the impression. as
they assert, that they would be provided
with means of subsistence while here and
free transportation to Kansas, where, on
arrival, they are to receive lands from the
government, money, mules, plows, etc.
Several hundred. perhaps more than a
thousand, have already arrived, most of
them in destitute condition, and six hun
dred more will reach here tomorrow by
the steamer Grand Tower. No such pro-
vision as the above statement has been
made for these people, they have evident
ly been grossly deceived for some malicious
purpose, ard in view of all circumstances
in the case. Mayor Overstolz this after.
noon issued proclamation warning all
persons against coming to ST. Louis with
out money to support themselves and to
pay their fare to their destination. No
employment can be obtained, aud there
must of necessity be much suffering and
destitution among them. Two or three
hundred had money enough to reach Kan
sas City, and have started for that point
The board of health had a meeting this
evening, to consider the question, and i
was first thought that all the destitute
should be sent to the quarantine station
where they could be sheltered and fed, bu
it was finally concluded to take no actor
in the matter for the present. The rail
road and steamship companies disclain
having had anything to do with bringing
the negroes here.

in company with Captain Winters, from
the Simcoe Reservation. Moses was
captured few days ago and arrested by

is now en- route to Vancouver. from whence

the most restless influential and dangerous
Indian on the coast is in company with
Moses. The General and Governor both feel
confident this action on the part of Moses
and the other chiefs virtually ends ali pro-

Every moment Of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of q remedy, The amount of testimony in
favor OF DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretentions Of any other
medicine. see DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates Of many perrons OF the highest
responsibility, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians OF
Acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as thesc evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ploy ment of two other remedies which Dr.Schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional rene
dies arc Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. By the timely use of these medicines, &C
cording to directions, DIR. Schenck certifes tha
most any case OF Consumption may be cured.
