If LITERALLY CONSTRUED.
The Only Way to Give Oklahoma National
Banks is to Violate Law,

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The prospective
opening OF Oklahoma has already resulted
in applications for charters for national
banks to be established there. These ap.
plications have raised perplexing questions
with which the attorney general and comp.
troller Of the currency are now wrestling.
The law provides that the applications
for authority to open national banks shall
be on file for year before the charters are
granted. The Territory Of Oklahoma,
however, has not been open to settlement
until now and consequently there has hitt-
erto been no occasion for applications for
the establishment of national banks.
With the opening OF these lands there
would be an immediate need OF banks, but
il the law is to be construed literally, no
national banks can be established in Okla.

BosroN, April 1S.-Tommy Meadows, the
Australian is anxious for another 60 with
Paddy Duffy. In letter Meadows says
Duffy is q "quitter"; that in the second

fighting. The Australian is confident that
he can defeat Duffy, for he says if any Bos-
ton club will give a reasonable purse, ne
will fight Duffy ten or fifteen or twenty
rounds, and if he does not put the Boston
man to sleep in that time he will be satisfied
to lose the purse.
Boston sporting men do not take any
stock in Meadows statement that Duffy
wanted to quit. Lett re. received in this
city from Califoruians who witnessed the
battle, show that Meadows was the one
who wanted to quit, not Duffy.

Killed His Father and Himself.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April 1S.-West
Farms, a farming hamlet, was the scene Of
a horrible double tragedy this morning.
James King, wealthy well.known citizen
70 years of age, was shot and killed by
Edgar King, his eldest son, and the house
fired. The murderer went twenty steps
from the bouse and then shot himself. The
murder and suicide are traceable to an un-
balanced mind, caused by dissipation. A
letter to friend shows that the deed was
premeditated, with the addition that he in
tended to kill his two aunts also. He was
prevented from the last by being unable to
get into the room where they slept. The
deed was committed at O'Clock iE the
morning, the murderer firing three shots
into the body OF his father while asleep.

In dispatch to Herr Stubell, the new
German consul to Somoa, dated April 16,
Prince Bismarck censures Consul Knsppe's
conduct throughout the troubles in Samoa
He dwells upon the deplorsble fact
that, with an inadequate force
and without authority, urgency or
likelihood Of success. Consul Knappe took
measures, December 18th, which resulted
in the death OF q large number of persons
and an undesirable change in the position
OF the planters. besides jeopardzing peace
vii h America, while quiescence would have
preserved q tolerable state OF affairs. The
sanction OF the treaty powers being lacking,
he says
CONSUL KNAPPE's DEMAND
for control of the foreign relations OF Sa-
moa was OF no force, and he was counselled
by him (Bismarch) to notify Great Britain
and America OF Germany's withdrawal.
The chancellor concluded, declaring that
Germany has nothing to do with the inter-
nal affairs of Samoa; that her mission is re-
stricted to protecting Germans and en-
abling them to develop commercial inter
ests.
Prince Bismarck has issued an order in
which he defines the responsibility of com.
manders OF war ships with respect to
requests of consuls abroad. The chancel.
lor directs commanders to examine for
themselves
LEGAL AND POLITICAL GROUNDS
for such request, unless the consul pro-
duces special authority from the German
foreign Office as reason for his action.
Prince Bismarck refers to recent events in
Samoa, where, he says, an unauthorized
request resulted IN great loss OF life and in
jury to German interests, and danger was
thereby incurred OF Germany becoming en-
broiled with friendly nations, with no con-
elusive reasons existing for Intervention OF
armed forces.
