co. DIS VISIT TO BALTTMORE

FRosTBURG, MD, May -, 1885.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
We started from home on the 1915
train for Cumberland, arriving there
at l.3O p. m. We were then marched
to the st. Nicholas Hotel, where Com
panies B and D We're quartered. The
Battalion dress parade took place at
$50, all the companies participating,
it being under the command Of Col.
Wardwcll. Co. d made as good an
appearance as could be expected, they
having to furnish their own uniforms.
After dress parade we were marched
to the depot and placed our guns in
the + assenger ears, and then back to
the hotel (St Nicholas for supper.
After supper each one started for
pleasure, some to the ball, and others
to the Academy of Music. AT Il o'clock
Thursday morning the Battalion mus
tered at the depot and the train started
for Baltimore, company d, and Tyler
Post drum corps occupying one car
as far as Okonoko, where we had to
change cars on account of a burning
box. We then had to crowd into the
other cars as best We could until we
reached Martinsburg, where another
ear was taken on. From Martinsburg
to Baltimore we had daylight to see
all the sights to be seen. The train
stopped Is minutes at Washington in
good view Of the Capitol and the beal-
titul streets Of the city. In sc minutes
we arrived at Camden Station, and
were marched to the Howard House,
where the Second Battalion was
quartered. Breakfast was then served
most bountifully, with the best things
the season could afford. The commits
stoned officers were quartered at the
Eutaw House, both hotels being under
the management Of Colonel Wood.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
battalion mustered for parade. All
of Company d appeared for drill but
three, two being paralyzed while the
other unfortunate young gentleman
fell in the bay. The parade lasted I'M
I'll s o'clock, and when the boys re-
turned they were all ready for supper.
On Friday some Of the boys, having
"taken in all the city sights, wanted
TO return to Cumberland, and did so,
arriving at s o'clock Friday evening.
No doubt there were some ladies in
Cumberland who acted IS 2 magnet
for the boys in blue. The braYe
soldier boys are the ones to catch the
ladies and they know it. We arrived
home Saturday and were all delighted
with our trip to Baltimore.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
On Friday evening, May LIST, Il large
crowd gathered in the skating rink to
witness the "Merry May Pole The
pole, situated in the east end of the
rink, was tastefuily decorated.
Promptly at 9 p. M. six merry lads
and lassies, attired appropriately for
the festive occasion, skated toward the
May Pole, keeping tine with the
music of the Arion Band, and pro
ccedcd to wind and unwind the gay
colorcd ribbons in Il graceful and
seemingly mysterious manner to the
spectators.
The audience showed their apprecia-
ton by keeping perfect order while
the skaters performed this difficult
feat in a very "poetry Of motion"
The march, led by Mr.. John Hook.
ing and Miss May Gunter, at lalf past 6
o'clock, was another attractive feature
of the evening. Several new move
ments were introduced, rendering the
march quite interesting.
The bell then rung, notifying all
skaters "Off the Floor" and Prof
Davis favored us with an exhibition Of
fancy skating. 1t is needless to say il
wac anpraciatad nv all
"All skate !" There were very few
who did not take advantage of this in,
vitation and kept on the floor unit,
estates Off was announced at 1885
p. nj. All left hoping for Il similar oc-
currence in tho near future.

Saturday Morning, May 10, 1885.


A BOY dropped dead in New
York school room not many days
ago, and now a ring of humanitarian
a.ntimentalists ascribe the sad event
to confinement in school. This dis
covery precedes, of course, some re-
form by which rooms and confne-
ment can be abolished. What the
pupil really needs, according to these
good people, is education combined
with recreation--ishing studies, for
instance, and picnic Rotations.
There is nothing like watered calculus
and outrageous equations for reg
ular boy. Allowed these privileges
we admit he will never die suddenly
in school room. Itshould be stated
also that he will never number ex-
traction of cube root among his men
tai accomplishments. After all,
what he really needs is-reading,
'riting, 'rlthmetic, room and rod.

AN UNEXPECTED ENDORSEMENT.
Last week we remarked for the
benefit of the Cumberland Times that
whenever the JOURNAL placed the
stamp of its approval upon the Scrip
lures, the Scriptures are infallibly
solid" Now comes along Rev.
Washington GLADDEN., who said in
the Congress of Churches Tuesday
that
The attitude of the average Amer
lean editor toward religion is one of
calm superiority. 1t is not the only
topic he handles with the air OF
mastery. Art, philosophy, medicine,
political science, social economy he
understands just as well as he does re-
ligion. There are exceptions, but the
typical journalist is nothing if not in
fallible.

THE LABOR PROBLEM.

In our local news we note the
fact that the Chinese companies,
with their accustomed astuteness,
are determined to maintain exist
ing rates of wages by reducing
the available supply of labor.
Two thousand Chinese are to
be shipped to Mazatlan, in Mexico,
whence they are expected to drift
into United States territory. This
withdrawal of labor would more than
offset the relief afforded planters by
recent Japanese arrivals; and there is
hardly any doubt that the Chinese
labor agencies will hereafter pursue a
similar policy as far as practicable.
If any argument were needed to
convince employers of laber in the
Kingdom that Chinese are the
worst possible kind of help for all
permanent purposes, this circum-
stance would furnish it. Individual
Chinese labor is subservient; but by
reason of its organization it is dicta-
tOrial and exacting as a whole. AS
matter of fact the Chinese have
captured for themselves the lions
share of all the profits upon produc-
ton in these islands, and they are
extremely 10th to relax their hold.
The country is on the fair way to dis
pense with them ultimately, however.
By promoting immigration from the
South of Europe and Japan, and re-
curing an equal proportion of the
sexes in each party of immigrants,
the labor problem would be solved in a
few years, and the foundations laid
for prosperous and progressive COM
munity.
The Planters Labor and Supply
Company will now perceive that COM

Der, to remove the restrictions upon

SAMOA.
Annexation of the Navigator Islands
by Germany.

The official documents relating to the
annexation of Samoa by the German I'm
perial Government have been published.
The first is letter from the King and
chiefs of Samoa, inclosing q petition to
the Queen of England, which prays that
Samoa may either be made a colony of
England or be united to New Zealand.
The letter urges the Governor of New
Zealand to assist Samoa, and asks him to
communicate by telegram with England
to take immediate steps. Then follows
the petition to the Queen. The German
Samoan agreement is also published, and
a letter from the King of Samoa to the
| Queen explaining why he signed the Ger
man-Samoan agreement after sending a
| petition for annexation to Great Britain.
The following is a translation of the
original text of the German-SamOan agree
ment:
''In order to secure the German sub
| iects residing in Samoa the advantages of
good government, and in conformity with
Article Z of the Treaty of Friendship be-
tween Germany and Samoa of January
"a, 1879, the Acting German Consul for
the South Sea Islands, the King and Vice
King and Government of Samoa have
agreed to the following:
"Article IA German-Samoan State
Council is hereby formed. The same is
to consist of the German Consul or his
| substitute, two Samoans, of whom one
shall be appointed by the King and
another by the Vice-King, with the ap-
proval of Taimua and Faipule, and two
Germans, who shall be appointed by the
German Consul.
''Article 2.-The German-Samoa State
lations, and decide whether the same are
in conformity with the common interest
of the Samoan Government and German
subjects residing in Samoa. 1t shall es-
pecially pass such laws as shall refer to
crimes of Samoans when a German sub
iect, or subjects of another State in Ger.
man employ, or a cOlored laborer in Ger
man service, or the property of such per-
sons have teen injured thereby. The
same regulations shall apply TO crimes
committed by colored laborers in German
employ.
d" Article 3.-Regulations passed by the
German-Samoan State Council shall be
published as laws by the King and vice
King under their signatures. In the in
PRODUCTION it shall be stated that the law
is published after having been passed by
the German Samoan State Council.

with the German Consul, appoint Ger

Chinese immigration for the purpose
of admitting 5000 Chinese coolies,
would not have been promotive of
their best interests It might have
temporarily lowered wages, but the
Chinese labor organizations here
would very soon have brought the
rate of pay up to the old standard.
Their present policy seems to be to
land their contract laborers in Mexico
and British Columbia, and let them
drift across the frontiers into the
States, where they will be taken
charge of by the powerful secret or
CARNATIONS existing in California, and
distributed over the country as occa-
sion may demand. The operation of
the Chinese exclusion law in the
United States has created demand
for labor in California and the Terri
tories, which can only be met by the
Chinese entering, as we have shown,
| by the back door. It's reflex influence
is felt in the projected emigration of
Chinese labor from Hawaii. We need
not regret this, however, because it
may ultimately rid the country Of
| this most undesirable class of the
| population.

The said officer shall be secretary and
adviser of the King on all matters con-
corning German subjects residing in
Samoa. He shall exercise the functions
of judge IN all cases in which Germans
residing in Samoa are interested, when
the punishment to be inflicted does not
exceed two years imprisonment with hard
labor, in concert with a Samoan Judge,
in cases when Samoans or colored Iaborers
have committed an injury against Samoans
or Samoan property alone, or when colored
Iaborers have committed crimes amongst
themselves. When more than two years.
imprisonment with hard labor has to be
inflicted, the German Consul shall, in
conjunction with Samoan Judge, take
uporhfmself the functions of judge, or-he
may authorize German officers in the
Samoan Government, or a third person,
to act. In order to provide for convicts
where German subjects are interested,
Jail shall be erected, and those committed
to Imprisonment with hard labor shall be
held to proper work, the proceeds of
which shall be applied to defraying sx-
penses arising from the administration of

MRS. YSEULT DUDLEY.
Her Opinion of O'DOn0Van Rosa, the
DynamiEer.

Readers of the ADVERTISER will remem-
Der the particulars of the shooting of
jeremiah Donovan, alias O'Donovan
Rosa, by a Mrs. Dudley in New York.
On the 10th of February she wrote letter
to the New York Tribune, in which she
expresses her opinion of this Irish apostle
of assassination in terse English. She
writes: Rosa preached assassination
and murder as the highest form of patriot
ism, and advocated the dedication of life
and liberty to further the cause of violence
and bloodshed. When he made me an
unexpected convert, and one who, not con-
tented with theory, put his lessons into
practical form, thus proving myself an
apt pupil, what right had he to complaint?
Imitation have always understood to be
the sincerest form of fattery. But Rossa's
victims, being 5000 miles away from him,
and brave-hearted, no appeal for mercy
had ever reached him. Therefore, he
neglected to teach me the proper course
to pursue in such an event. was brought
face to face with abject cowardice for the
first time, and, forgetting my recent les
sons, reverted to the teachings of the
heroes of my country, Never strike a
fallen foe, and gave Rosa the worthless
life he begged for She concludes {:
Is Not the one-thousandth part of the
atrocities committed almost daily by the
followers of his doctrine in Ireland against
the honest Irish people are ever committed
by English people, whom he denounces
as bloodthirsty tyrants.'

MIR. Ericsson, whose Monitor
saved the American navy from des-
truction by the rebel ironclad Mer-
rimac, has invented u Destroyer
which shoots 500 pounds of dynamite
with accuracy, and without danger to
the vessel firing it. The possession
of this invention by weak power
would render it practically invulner-
able. If King Melieota of Samoa had
had such a Destroyer, for example,
when the German warship annexed
his country the other day, he could
have sunk the man-of-war with a
single discharge of this engine of des-
truction and our own country could
stand off, the navies of the world
if similarly equipped. One effect OF
the progressive invention of destruct-
i've agents will necessarily be to put a
stop to warfare.
