EXCONSUL SEWALL BELIEVES
THE SINKING STORY.

The Excitement at San Francisco
Subsides-The Alta California Thinks
1t Would Be Well to Postpone the
Berlin Conference Until After News
Has Been Received.
WASHINGTON, March 1O.--One Of the
first things the state department will dis
pose of is the appointment of delegates to
the Samoan conference at Berlin. 1t is
said tonight that Benjamin f. Butler, John
A. Kasson and William Walter Phelps,
will probably be sent to represent this
government, and that they will be accom-
panied by exConsul Gen. Sewell and Au-
gustus Cowherd of Illinois, who negotiated
the treaty between the United States and
Samoa
sEwALL BELIEVES THERE HAS BEEN A
FIGHT.
Ex-Consul General Sewall finds coniirma-
tion for his belief that the Nipsic was really
sunk by the Olga in a special cablegram
from London, published this morning He
says the local color in this cablegram makes
it accurately realistic. IL the event hap
pened, it would. in all probability, happen
in just that way, and the news being COM
suppressed. We must know definitely be-
fore next Sunday unless Commodore Kim
berly's ships and the mail steamers have all
been sunk. SO sure is ex-Consul Sewall
that the news is true that he has advised
his friends engaged in the for
eign trade to take out war policies on
their vessels and cargoes. Secretary Blaine
has no information on the subject yet. He
may ask the German government to give
him what information IL has, or he may
undertake to get some information directly.

Mullen to act as dispatch agent is under

before the fight is said to have occurred.
'FRIsCo's EXCITEMENT SUBSIDIES.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-The intense
excitement which prevailed yesterday over
the many rumors ahoat of troubles in Sa-
moa, has almost subsided to-day owing TO
the non-conirmation Of a single rumor.
The Chronicles and Examiners editorials
place little credence IN the reports. The Alta
urges that the conference which will meet
in Berlin on the 18th instant to consider the
Samoan difficulty ought to be postponed
until after the arrival here, on the 10th, of
tue steamer Zelandia from Auckland via
the Samoan islands, as this steamer may

HARRISON LACKS A PEW.
He Sat in Blaine's During Yesterdays
Service.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-President Har-
of the Covenant, the new Presbyterian
church at Eighteenth and Connecticut
avenue, opposite the British legation. They
drove up there this morning, after the
usual morning prayers at home, in two
carriages. President and Mrs. Harrison
and Mr.. and Mrs Russell Harrison sat in
Mr.. Blaine's pew, which Mrs Blaine left for
Senator Eugene Hale's pew, in order that
they might have room. Mrs. Mckee and
the rest Of the party sat elsewhere. The
church was full and the vestibule was
packed.
MANY sIaHTsEERS.
There were, of course, many sightseers,
but they were comparatively decorous,
though President and Mrs. Harrison had to
leave at a side door to avoid them. The
pastor, Rev. DIR. HamliD, made especial re-
ference in his prayer to the President and
his family and also prayed that no one
might come to the service out Of curiosity.
The topic of his sermon was God Revealed
in Christ" After the service few old
friends among the congregation shook
hands with President and Mrs. Harrison,
who attended this church for two years
before they went away. and then they
passed quietly out TO their carriage.
MRS. MKEE WALKS.
Mrs Mckee and her sister-in-law, Miss
Mckee, preferred to walk down Connecti-
cut avenue With young friends whom they
had known before in Washington Neither
the President nor Secretary Halford did
any work to-day. The President took a
long walk, read good deal, renewed his
acquaintance with his family, and went to
bed early. Secretary Halford attended all
the services of the Foundry Methodist
church and did a little mission work besides.
Secretaries Blaine and Rusk were the
only ones of the new cabinet who went to
their Office to-day. The practice which
grew up during the war among the higher
officers of the departments of working
more or less on Sunday is to be suspended
under this administration.

TARIFF REFORM NOT DEAD.
The Massachusetts, League to Arouse
the Farmers.


BosToN, March 10.--An address to be
issued tomorrow by the officers of the
Massachusetts, Tariff Reform League says
that the defeat of the party under the
lead of President Cleveland shows
that the people must be more fully
enlightened and aroused before the
organized power and wealth Of those for
whose benefit the present tariff is main
tanned, can be successfully maintained.
"While," it adds, "the need of reform re
mains as urgent as ever, the Massachusetts
Tariff Reform League will advocate free
raw materials as the practical objective
point for future effort.
MUST APPEAL TO THE FARMERS.
1--WE must continue the work already be-
gun so well in the cities, and we must carry
our message TO the farmers, who seem in
different to the burden Of taxation they are
made to bear, simply because no sufficient
effort has yet been made to expose the fall
lacies by which they have been systemat-
ically deceived. Our representatives in
congress will be given an opportunity to
explain why they have sacrificed the inter
ests of New England to the greed of Penn
sylvania."
SINEWS OF WAR ASKED.
The address closes with an appeal for con-
tributions from those who stand upon the
common ground Of reduced taxation in the
interest Of public economy, true industrial
prosperity and sound morals, and is signed
by Henry L. Pierce, William Lloyd Gar
rison, Josiah Quincy and John +. Andrews
