CLEARED FOR ACTION.

How Captain Lesry Prevented Bonn
bsrdment and Scared = German Msn-of-
War.
EAU CLAIRE, WIS, January S0.-A pri-
vate letter has Just been received in this
city from Ralph W. Morris, an officer on
board the United States war ship Adams.
The letter is dated Honolulu, January 10,
and is in part as follows:
1--WE are homeward bound, having called
here for coal and provisions, which our
long stay at Samoa completely exhausted.
The German government had captured
and exiled the rightful king, Malietoa, be-
cause he resisted the wholesale invasion Of
the Samoan Islands by a German trading
company, and in his place set mp chief,
Tamsseee, entirely subseryient to German
interests.
"When war broke out between Tsma-
sese and Matsafa. we, being the nearest
American ship, were ordered to proceed
with all haste TO Apia and look cut for
American interests. The German fleet
was away, except the Adler, during the
fighting. The Adler left Apis and went
around to Sslafatta with the expressed in
tention of driving Matsafa off some Ger
man property on which he had built an
embankment for his army. We also got
under way as soon as the Adler, and fol-
lowed her, and cleared mp the decks for
general quarters and cleared ship for
ection.
''We arrived at Salafatta astern Of the
Adler, and our Captain, Leary, called a
boat away and sent an officer over with
message intimatiug that if the Adler fired
one shot at the natives she would never
get back TO the Fatherland unless the Ger
man Government sent wrecking company
and had her picked up from the bottom OF
the ocean. The result was the Adler went
back TO Apia, and we followed and anch-
ored outside Of her.
"By the steamer Just arrived we learn
the trouble has broken out worse than
ever, and all the ships in this station are
ordered TO Apia with all possible speed,
also, that IN English fleet il ordered
thither. There were two English, one
American and two German men-of-war
there when we left Ii is almost certain
a large German and French fleet will also
90 there hope we will be ordered back.
The Alert (American) leaves tomorrow for
Apis. The Cormorant English leaves to.
night. The Trenton, our Aagsbip, i3 now
on her way thither from CAllao, Puru. The
Mexican, Vandalia, Iroquls and Dispatch

graphs his paper as follows: 1t is
stated that several leading Republicans
have indicated to President Cleveland that
if it is his policy to appoint any more

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
Plummerville, Ark.-No Clue to the Per
petrators OF the Crime.

Hon. John M. Clayton Assssslnated AT
Plummerville, Ark.-No Clue TO the Per
petrators OF the Crime.
PLUAiNiERvILLE, ARK January 30
Hon. ]. NJ. Clayt ton was shot in his room
at Mrs. Craven's house at 8 o'clock last
night. D. II. Womack, of Benton, Ark,
travelling msn, who Was in the room
with Clayton, gives the following story Of
the murder: His friend, Mr.. Alnutt, and
he were occupying the same room; Clayton
had heen nervous all the evening and was
pacing the floor with his hands in his
pockets, and he walked toward the win
dow, over which the blind was partially
drawn, ard was in the act Of sitting down
on a chair, when shot was fired
through the window, making a very
loud report and putting out the light.
we could hear the blood running from
Clayton. l exclaimed, TIE lamp has ex
ploded and killed him. No, said Alnut,
he has been shot When a light was
brought we found that load of buckshot
had been fired through the window, taking
effect in the right side of his neck, break
ing it, one bullet passing clear through.
He fell back in his chair and then over on
the floor"
There is no clue 10 the perpetratOr @!
the outrage, but pistol was found under
the window, which may probably lead tc
the discovery of the assassin. No one ad.
vances any theory yet. A great number
of people, principally negroes are in the
little village, but everything is orderly and
quiet.
The murdered man was younger
brother of Gen Powell Clayton and twin
brother of Judge Thomas Clayton, Of Ft.
Smith, Ark. He was member OF the
leading law firm of Hemingway, Austin
& Clayton, of Pire Bluff, his partners
both being prominent Democrats. John M
Clayton was educated for he,pulpit, as was
his opponent in the late Congressional
contest, Clifton K. Breckenridge, the son
of Vice President John @. Breckenridge.
He served az sheriff of Jefferson county for
eight years and re was loved by all who
know him as an honest and chivalrous
gentleman. He believed that be had been
elected and was contesting Breckenridge
election. II was while engaged in obtain
ing testimony that he lost his life. The
crime is attributed to political crank.

Smith has been sick unto death, it will
be remembered, ever since the election.

unable to learn, arrived here and went 10

man all night, and this morning, probably
describing the horrible consequences of his
not going to Charleston to cast his vote
fer GOff, and at noon he brought Mr.. Smith
tottering to the station. They missed the

feeble, almost corpse, in fact, and bis de-

bed to travel to Charleston TO vote for
the party candidate is astonishing.
