WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-When show the
Samoan advIces received from San Fran
cisco to-day, Secretary Bayard tonight said
that Captain Mullan, of the Nipsic, had acted
sensibly in taking care of Klein, the CORE
spondent. Quite naturally evasperated by
the killing of their countrymen, the Ger
mans had fallen into the error of surprising
that Klein was the leader of the native
forces and had wished to punish him. There
fore he was glad that Klein had gotten
back safely to the United States.
OF the Other events chronicled in the dis
patch, the secretary pointed out that since
this date the Geographic advices showed that
martial law had been abolished, so far as it
applied to foreigners, and that the German
officials had been rebuked. He had noticed
in the newspapers, although he had no Off
cial information on the subject, that German
consul Knappe and Herr Brandiss, Tamas-
sees adviser, who, according to some
accounts, had been responsible for foment-
ing strife, had been ordered home by the
German government. If this was true, the
state of affairs promised to De much relieved.
Altogether, the secretary was hopeful that a
speedy, peaceful and satisfactory settlement
of the Samoan affairs would be reached. He
had, he said, received no news from Samoa

published, q q

Dies MONIES, Ia, Feb. 1~6.-TSpecial Tel
egram to Tue BEE. "A number of promi-
nent railroad men, including President Per
kins, of the Burlington road; General
Freight Agent Bird, Of the Milwaukee, and
Judge Hubbard, the Iowa solicitor of the
Northwestern, have been in conference with
the railroad commissioner here to-day.
They frankly stated TO the COMMISSIONS that
they had come to ask for some relief from
the present schedule of rates. Their alarm
at the situation was not due simply to the
expected reduction in revenue in Iowa, but
they say that if the present low rates were
sustained in lowe the same would be de.
mandcd in Illinois and Nebraska and other
states, and all of their interstate rates
would have to be cut down correspondingly.
This, they said TO the commissioners,
meant n great crippling of the service
in order to lessen expenses or inevitable
bankruptcy. They said that while the road
might do business at a loss in this state, the
proportion of their local business was only
about % per cent Of the interstate business,
and If the present interstate rates were al
lowed to remain the roads could keep their
heads out of water. But such a result would
not follow If the Iowa rates were sustained.
These rates are ID per cent lower than the
Illinois commissioners rates, and Illinois
would insist on having the Iowa rate and SO
would all the other states. For this reason
they urged the commissioners to change their
schedule and give the Illinois rates. TIL
commissioners gave them no direct reply.
though Commissioner Day states that in his
opinion some changes ought TO be made and
will be made.

less the friends of the Cowles bill can muster
sufficient force to set them aside.

ing that the aggregate salaries of postot1ice
clerks, as fixed by the new classification.

DIES MoINEs Ia, Feb. 49, Especial Tele-
gram to THE BEE.I-Most of the coal
mines of this state have been running at less
than half their capacity. The mines have
been, as far as sanitation is concerned, in
good condition. In a few instances only
have the inspectors been compelled to inter
fere. One of these instances was at
the Fishville mines, Mahaska county. In
spector James Gildroy has been compelled
to close down on this mine because the man
ayers had refused to comply with his recon-
mendations as to ventilation. Three thou
sBnd cubic feet of air was made to do duty
for III miners, eight drivers, three roadmen
and a motley collection of mules and don
keys. He says they ought to have at least
10, 900 cubic feet. The managers, as soon as
the mine was closed, went to work to con-
struct the necessary air shafts, etc. Mr..
Glldroy states that when he closed the mine,
a step only to be resorted to in extreme
cases, many of the men who had been suffer
ing raised objections because it would COM
pei a cessatson of work for q few days for

MUNT, Keya Paha County, Neb., Feb. -.
Especial to THE BEE. The statements
made in the columns Of THE BEE relative to
the stealing Of cattle in Keya Paha county
are calculated to give the people living at Il
distance ii wrong impression of this county
and people.
Bordering, as this county does, upon the
Sioux reservation, the running of cattle upon
the same has been the principal source OF
revenue to the settlers living upon the koya
Paha river. Until within the last two years
they have not been molcsted nor put to any
Inconvenience except the payment OF small
sums to the Indians. Since that time cattle
have mysteriOusly disappeared at intervals,
and during the past summer and fall great
numbers have been taken, entaillng great
loss and VcxatiOu to the farmers who owned
them. That they were stolen there was no
doubt, but such was the ingenuity of
the thieves that until quito recently no clue
could be obtained.
A few determined men set to work to fer
ret out the thieves and succeeded in finding
that there was a well organized band ell
gagged in the ncfarlous business, and that
among the members were some VINO inquired
rather prominently in society.
The thcftS becoming more aud more ire
uucnt and the perpetrators out of the reach
of Nebraska law, tho catJle having been
taken while on the reservation, the people
lccumc fully aroused ana vigilance commit.
tees have been formed with the ayowed in
tcrtion of netting out summary justice or
driving the thieves out of the country. Up
to present writing no decisive measures have
boon taken, but the people mean TO protect
themselves from such lawlesSnesS,
