AFFAIRS AT SAMOA.
A Reign of Terror-Americans Out
 ragged.

Terror reigns supreme at Apia, the capital of Samoa. The foreign consulates have been put in a state of defence and fortified with sandbags, etc. The insurgents are openly assisted by the German Government, and the German sailors are even reported to have taken part in the outrages committed by the rebels against the American and other foreign residents.
 A great and decisive battle between the Kings troops and the insurgent forces was about to take place at the time this corres- pondence was despatched. Both armies were provided with repeating rifles. For the pur- pose of increasing the disorders which prevail and thus furnishing pretext for taking def mite possession of the Samoan group of is lands, the German Government has sent back to Apia the ex-King, whom it deposed and exled to the west coast of Africa about @ year ago.
 The American residents of the place com plain bitterly of the neglect of their interests by the State Department at Washington.

It is rumored at St. Louis, Mo-, that the oleogargarine manufacturers of Chicago are manipulating the butter market for the pur- pose of disposing of the oleo product The story, as it comes from some of the butter dealers is to the effect that the oeomargar- inc men have bought up the Elgin output and are hoisting the price of butter at a rapid rate. It has jumped from 35 cents to 45 cents in week, and there is talk of it going to 60 cents.

To Build Fast Steamers.

The firms of Anderson & Co. and F. Green & Co. of London, managing proprietors tho Orient Line, have renewed their offer to the Ottawa Government to carry the Cana dian mails They offer to build three express steamers of 7,5OO tons apiece, to steam not less than 20 knots an hour, and to make the passage between Halifax and Plymouth in five days and to Rimouski in five or six hours longer time. In their offer the above named firms show that while ill 1882 4,OS6 cabin passengers were brought to Montreal this number had fallen off in 1885 to 2, TAI, and only had increased in the :, last years because some of the lines carried passengers to Montreal for the same price as to Quebec. This state of affairs, they say, was caused because steamers landing in New York are so much more convenient, and they will try to remedy the evil by their new line, which will be an en- tirely independent one. The vessels will be ready within eighteen months after the con- tract is awarded. The new vessels will be built either on the Clyde, at Barrow or Bel fast, and must run 20 knots an hour on their trio trin

LAKE NAVIGATION CLOSED.
End of a Good Sc ason for Insurance
 Men.

Navigation on the lakes is practically closed, and all vessels going out from now nntil the passage through the straits is barred by ice do so under penalty of a 20 per cent. increase in insurance every five days. Not many vessels will venture out from Chicago. There are 20 vessels yet to arrive most of them being expected to reach port within the uext few days, and they will then winter there
 The season just closed has been remarkable for the small losses sustained by vessel own CTS. There have been fewer wrecks and total losses than ever before, fact that has en- abled the hull and cargo underwriters to show a large profit While there has been vast increase in the amount of tonnage on the lakes the risk has been frightened very much by the superior quality of the craft. Over 50 new vessels were launched this year, 8 large proportion being steam vessels ofiron and supplied with best machinery and ap- pliances for speed and safety. In the ship building yards around the lakes there are all ready on the stocks or planned, upward of 30 vessels, not less than 25 of which are steamers of more than 2,OOO tons burden and a majority of which will be afoat early next season.

Woman suffrage.

Woman suffrage.
LONDON, Nov. S0-In his speech at Edin-
burgh yesterday, Lord Salisbury declared
himself in favor of woman suffrage, ana
said be hoped the day was not far distant
when women would be allowed to vote.
Referring to the arrears OF rent question,
he contended that there could not be a
greater mistake than to compare the por-
ton of the Scotch crofters with that of the
Irish tenants. The latter, he said, obtained
assistance and privileges unknown in any
other country.
TREATMENT OF IRISH PRISONERS.
Lord Salisbury IN speech at Edinburgh
to-day, referring to the treatment OF Irish
political prisoners, held that such treatment
ought to deter others from following their
example and that SO long as such offenders
were dangerous to the community they
must be treated like other
offenders He warned tho unionists
to watch Mr.. Gladstone, who he
said was showing an increasing tendency
to accept the extremist view of the separ-
fists.
There is growing in MIR. Gladstone's
mind distinct idea of the separation of
Ireland. He lord Salisbury trusted that

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-The interstate
commerce commission in the case of the

Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Railway
Company and others hold as follows:
/. To correctly estimate the causes influencing
the movement of cotton and the falling off in
the proportion of the crop received at New
Orleans in recent years. the rail lines of trans
portation constructed improved methods, and
new conditions must be taken into account.
2. Whether the railroad companies combine
or act separately in making rates and charges
is not so important; the essential requirement
is that, however made, they should be reason
able of themselves and so fairly adjusted as to
be reasonable in their relations to each other
and in their results.
g. That under like conditions freight can be
carried proportionally lower for long than for
short distances ia a. nearly settled as anything
relating to railroad charges can be. Equal
mileage rates would often prevent legitimate
competition and give monopoly in transpor-
tation to the best and shortest road.
