Germany Again Protests that Annexa-
tiOn is Not Contemplated.
BERLIN, Jan. 14.-The accuracy Of the
news already published regarding Ger
many's SEIZURE OF Samoa is not acknOwl-
edged in official circles. A statement is
officially made to-day that the German
government has no intention OF annexing
the Samoan Islands. The incidents re-
ported in the news dispatches are ex-
planned according 10 this statement as
referring TO measures adopted by the Ger
man authorities to prevent King Malieat0a
from carrying out his intention OF with
drawing the guarantees he bad given for
the protection OF German interests and
rights. IL is positively asserted that
nothing can have occurred which will in
,anywlse affect the existing treaties be-
tween the Samoan government and Ger
many, England or America.

PAPERS CLEAR.
DENIAL THAT SPAIN OBJECTED
TO HIM AS MINISTER.


Bis Transfer to tho Austrian Mission
Made Because tho Gentleman Who
Had B0en Appointed to Vienna De-
sired to Go to Spain-The Change
Promotion.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l4.-ln the Senate
to-day Mr.. Allison desired to cor
rect an error of statement occurr-
ing in the Kelley correspondence,
printed copy Of which had been
placed before the Senate. He disclaimed
any intention to criticise the Secretary of
state, in whose letter the error occurred,
and said that the Secretary had no doubt
been erroneously informed by subOrdi-
nate. As matter OF justice, however, to
the distinguished citizen of Iowa, the
facts should be made known. The state
ment was to the effect that when Mr..
KassoA had been nominated TO the
Spanish mission he was objected to by the
government of Spain.
NEVER OBJECTED TO.
Mr.. Allison, upon the very best authori-
ty, characterized that statement as wholly
erroneous. No objection, he said, had
been made by Spain To the appointment OF
Mr.. hasson. The impression that the
spanish Government had objected was
derived from newspaper hints made at the
time, and not from any statement made
by any official OF the Spanish Government.
After the appointment of Mr.. kassOn TO
Madrid, Mr.. Allison continued, the then
Secretary Of State MIR. Evarts) asked him
( Mr.. AllIsOn) whether Mr.. kassOn would
prefer the Austrian mission, TO which Mr.
Allison replied that he had no doubt he
would.
LETTER FRosi EvARTs.
MIR. Allison sent to the desk and had the
clerk read letter dated Jan. 6, 1885, from
MI. EVarts 30 Mr.. KassOn stating that no
question was ever raised as to Mr.. Kas-
sons acceptabilitY to the Spanish Govern
ment. "Fhe appointment for Madrid" the
letter continues, 'oTiginanV proposed by
me was changed upon your preference to
Vienna, and for reasons having no con-
nection whatever with or the knowledge OF
either government" Mr.. Vest was glad
to hear the exact factS. The original
statement, if n misapprehension it was,
was mlsapprehension very general
throughout the county. lie Mr.. Vest)
had seen a statement in the press, and
Mr. kassOn's want of acceptability to
Spain had been understood to grow out OF
views expressed by him regarding the re-
lations OF Spain and Cuba, and not out Of
anything rejecting on Mr.. kasson's per-
sOnal character.
WHY THE CHANGE WAS MADE.
Mr.. Evarts said that when Secretary of
State he had offered the Spanish Mission
to Mr.. Kasson by authority OF the Presi-
dent. Another gentleman Mr.. LoweID,
VINO had been offered the Austrian Mis-
sion, had shown disposition to find
motive suitable to his literary tastes and
pursuits to undertake the Spanish Mission.
That gentleman, declining the Austrian
Mission, Mr.. EVarts was able to present
to Mr.. kassOn the choice of the Austrian
Mission, which was enc higher in grade,
emOuments and rank. Mr.. KassOn had
chosen the Austrian Mission, and the
other gentleman took the Spanish Mission.
The matter was then dropped.

spleudor OF the office was so captivating
to the minds of even the wisest of Ameri-
can statesmen. that the transfer even of
the acting Presidency from one man to
another ought not TO be permitted 10 ae-
pend ON q state OF fact SO hard 10 define
and so hard to maintain as "disahtity."
MIR. Dibble, OF South Carolina. inquired
whether the same objection might not be
advanced with even greater force against
the existing law.
Mr.. Adams admitted this, but stated
that he had prepared an amendment " hich
would remedy the evil. His second Ob-
Jection to the bill was that there WAS no
provision for a speedy election by the
people to ill a vacancy in the Office of
President.
REPUBLICAN UNEASINRss.
Mr.. Rowell, of Illinois, characterized
the bill as a crude one and suggested that
if the presiding officer of the senate was
OF tue same party as the executive there
would not be hot haste to amend the law
which had stood for "a years. lie could
see no force in the objection to the law
that the presiding officer Of the Senate
and Speaker Of the House were not United
States officers. II they We're not then
there was no Legislative branch Of the
Federal government, but the strongest
objection to the bill in his opinion was
that it permitted the party in power TO
perpetuate that power for an indefinite
number OF years as admitted by the gen.
tleman from Tennessee { Mir. CaidwelD.
Never before had the American people
been presented with such a temptation t.
crime, such a temptation to anarchy,
such a temptation to revolution.
The debate then closed but will be re-
sumed tomorrow after the transaction of
the private business.

COUP D'ETAT RUMoRED.
LONDON, Jan. 10, 3 A. March bishop
Walsh, in an address at Dublin yesterday,
said that Mr.. Parnell hoped TO obtain a
settlement OF the Irish question from MIR.
Gladstone. The speaker trusted that the
hope would be realized, and that the sad
result would nOtbe witnessed of desper-

the military forces there.
LABoRR4ss DESPERATE
DUBLIN, Jan. 14.-Fhe state of despeFa-
tiOn into which many Of the Irish labOring
people have been thrown by their long
continued privations was illustrated to-
day by an occurrence at Lismore, County
Waterford. The Board OF Guardians OF
the Lismore Poor Law Union was holding
its weekly meeting when a crowd Of labor
ers burst into the room, and in menacing
language demanded assistance for them
selves and their families. They threat
ened that unless help was 500. fOrthcOm-
ing they would murder neigbbOring farm
ers TO obtain means Of substance.
Michael Davitt approved the PROPOSE
tion to buy cut the Irish landlords, and
suggests an AnglO-lrish arbitration COM
mission TO settle the terms of the pur-
chase.

The Clause to Defeat NepOtism Voted
Down in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan 14-At the cOnclu-
sion of Mr.. Maxey's remarks on the sill
yer question the judicial salary bill was
laid before the Senate. One Of the sec
tlous of the bill provides that no person
related within the degree OF first cousin
to Judge of the United States shall be
appointed by such Judge to any position
in his court, and that persons so related
who now hold such office shall not con-
tinue IN Office after SIX months from the
passage OF The act. some discussion
arose on the last clause which would
Ipgislate out Of office relatives now in
office. Mr. Edmunds was willing hatsuch
appointments should not be made in the
future. but thought it would work great
hardship and injustice TO legislate out Of
Office men VINO by experience and train
inv had come 70 De perhaps the most
efficient aud capable persons who could
be found 10 fill the offices. The clause,
too. in Mr.. Edmunds' belief was retro
syective, and therefore Objectionable on
that account. He moved 10 strike out
the claupe that would affect persons at
present in 0fice. This was agreed 10 alter
considerable debate.
At5:10 O'Clock, with the bill still pend
ing and Mr.. Morgan speaking against the
bill. the Senate adjourned ull Monday

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-the President
gave his first state dinnel of the season
this evening in hOnOr OF his Cabinet. The
White House was tastefully arranged,
and presented a brilliant appearance.
The East room and parlOrs adjoining the
state dining-room we're lined with tropical
plants, and the mantes were banked
with choice flowers. The principal deco
ration Of the dinner-tahle was an immense
floral ship OF state, which WAS surrounded
by many smaller floral pieces Of different
designs. One Of the oldest attaches OF the
house said the table had never presented
a more beautiful appearance. The Ma
rine band was stationed n the main vesti-
bule, and discoursed music during the
dinner. One reform instituted bv the
band was the omission Of "Hail 70 the
Chief" from its repertoire for the evening.
This was done out Of respect TO the Presi-

MIR. MerriIps Resolution Shown to be
Actuated by Party spite.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-In the Senate
to-day, the Chair laid before the Senate
Mr.. MOrrill's resolution offered yesterday,
calling on the Secretary of the Treasury
to inform the Senate whether any collect
Ors Of internal revenue not confirmed by
the Senate were in receipt Of the pay and
emOluments Of the Office. Mr.. Beck said
be would not object to the resolution, but
saw no necessity for 1t. The Senate knew
all that was to be known on the subject
The law on the subject-passed during
President JOhnson's time-had been very
sweeping, but during President Grants
time it had been modified. Since then
newly appointed officers of the class
designated by Mr.. Morrill, had re-
ceved the emoiuments of the
office. The Supreme Court had
decided that they were entitled to it,
When the Republicans had become afraid
that the Democrats were going TO win
they again modified the law, but the modi-
fcation did not make improper payments
in the cases contemplated, and the Re-
publicans knew that such officers had for
years received pay.
Mr.. Morrill, differed with MIR. Beck
as to the precise class OF cases COW
cred by the supreme Court decision.
He denied that the President could take
money out of the Treasury TO pay men
whom he might appoint. That was the
duty Of Congress. The Information called
for, Mr.. Morrill, thought maniiestly proper,
not only in the interest OF the government,
but of the Collectors personally.
Mr.. COckrell offered an amendment to
Mr.. MOrrilPs resolution, making it to ap-
ply to back years. This was acceptable
to Mr.. Morrill,, and the resolution. as
amended, was agreed to.
