Tho Samoan Affair.

ASydney letter on the subject Of the Sa-
moan troubles which appears in the Frank
furt Zeitung, declares the truth of the re-
port that the. rebellion was instigated by
the Americans ia frankly acknowledged by
all the English correspondents in Samoa,
all of whom deeply regret the action taxi
en- by the Americans. Captain Leury, the
American commander. ls severely
reproached for his encouragement of
the Matoofa rebels. 1t is asserted
that owing to the lack of ammunition
Mataafa would long ago have consented
to negotiate, had not American traders
promised on the arrival of the steamer
from San Francisco to give him arms and
ammunition. The letter also indicates
that the turning of the English consulate
into hospital led to German complaint
that the English officials were showing
sympathy with the rebels

How Spokane Falls Has Kept the ball

The Rosalis Rustler makes tho follow.

years Spokane has bestirred itself for

which has been idle. Az soon a. one
grand object was attained. another was
ut once taken up. While ono campaign
was being fought, others have been
planned. 80 that the energy and attention
OF the community we're never left unen-
gagged. Thus there is no chance for the
city to acquire the fatal habit Of indiffer.
ence or narrow-eyed selfshness. II has
at times involved great sacrifices, esoecial.
ly from those whose lot it ia to take the
initiative IN these things. II has sometimes
taxed to the utmost the endurance of
the purse.strings Of the business men
of the city but no one who reviews the
history of Spokane during the half past
decade and especially during the past two
years. will deny that its success has been
determined most largely by the spirit of
enterprise evidenced 10 these things.
Without it Spokane could not be the city
she ia to-day. This Ia what has sent its
fame abroad as u sure enough city. Dur
ing the past two years there have been no
visitors in Spokane before whose eyes
there was not the demonstration that the
people OF Spokane were going forward
10 the destiny of a city. They have
been all the time cutting their cloth to
. constantly enlarged pattern. Spokane
might have said, I'VE are bound to be Q
city," but mere wordsebre not theievidence
which impresses, nor the stimulus which
inspires enthusiasm. But when the on.
locker from outside sees the men of Spo.

II is the persuasion OF action. II IL the
only way that men or cities can impress
themselves notably or lastingly upon the
world, or can secure lis decisive &C. opera

Spokane has kept the ball rolling, and as
this policy has won in the past, SO it will
win In tho future"

q. the Appropriation Bills.

The military academy appropriation bill
'waA fret taken up and its reading WAS un.
intsrsp pied until Kilgore raised the point
Of order against the clause sppropriating
;9490, 900 for the erection of new academy
building st West Point.
The chairman having overruled the
point. Kileore moved to strike out the
clause. Defeated
A motion by Kilgore 10 strike out the
clause sppropriatinV $1,000 for a new
gymnasium building was also defeated.
The bill was then laid aside and the con.
'sideration Of the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill was proceeded with.
MoAdoo of New Jersey said be could not
allow che bill 10 pass without emphasizing
What he considered the popular demand
for abolishinR United States ministers
abroad. One OF the great countries of
Europe was nnrepresented by minister
in this country. The British government
has refrained from sending ministers to
Washington, for the purpose of resenting
what ii considered to be an insult. 1t was
a most absurd thing, to his mind, that the
United States should send minister to
royal courts. The system Is absolutely un-
fitted to the character of the foreign coun-
try.
The COMMITTEES then rose and the two
appropriation bills were passed.
The committee then resumed its session
for the consideration of the fertilization
appropriation bill The bill appropriated
tS90,000.
Townsend of Illinois raised a point of
order, against all items of the bill appro-
priating Sl00. 900 for the repair of foItifi-
cations, that they we're outside the juris-
.diction of the committee on military at
,airs. Pending decision the committee
rose aud the house ad jOurned.

A few changes as to pGraseology we're
made in the administrative sections, aud

Then Allison went back to section 9, as
to methylated spirits for use in the arts,
and had several changes made in the
pbraseology, 80 as to include other sub

AN INQUIsITIvE BEAR.

Pounded to Death.
Gideon w. Lindley. who runs the saw
mill on Trout creek in Munroe county,
Pa, says ScarutOn telegram, had con.
siderable fun with an inquisitive bear on
the night OF the December full moon.

creek, aud Liudley and his helper, Jareo
Chase, had been making the mill do its
best all the afternoon. Tie air was cool,
the sky was clear, and the moo might
streamed into the mill and made the
bright upright saw glitter. There are
three swamps in the near naiRhborbood,
and bears are pretty thick around there,
Along toward 8 O'Clock Lindley heard
something walking around IN the mill,
and he peeped through knothole to see
what it was. He found that the noise
had been made by large sized bear, and
he quickly blew out his light and kept
still. When he peered through the hole
again the bear was examining the bright
saw, moving his head up and down as ne
carefully scanned il from bottom to top,
and seeming to be anxious to get better
acouainted with it. Then ne rubbed one
of his paws over few of the teeth and felt

moon shone upon. and after that he wad-

Lindley could reach the gate lever from

of the ipouisitiye bear, and he let on a
little water. but not enough to start the
wheel. desiring to see if the bear would
notice it. AS the water gureled and

what the Newspapers are saying on the
Morier Affair.

Morier AFFAIR.
The Kolnisc6e Zeitung, returning to the
charge to-day, seeks to throw suspicion
upon upon Morier's political character.
Il says: There exists in England pow
erfui party which advocates an Anglo
Russian understanding, and Morier, who
WAS formerly held in esteem by Queen
Victoria and Empress Frederick forfeited
that favor by the decided opposition he
offered to Battenbur9ism in the interests
Of this party"
The Nord Deutche Zeitung, which has
hitherto to great extent held aloOf from
the dispute, tonight inserts the end OF the
wedge with tho view of showing to what
extent the intentions Of the emperor diff
fered from the tendency of the liberal
party. It publishes an autograph letter
from Emperor Frederick to Prince Bis.

the chancellor's entry into the army. The
letter 10 ~ follows:
