he says lie was ignored and Snubbed
While at Berlin.
BALTIMORE, July 26th-The Sun Demo
cratic) says to-day: Harold Marsh SeWall,
late Consul General of the United States at
Apia, Samoa, who accompanied the Sa-
moan Commission to Berlin, left Washing
ton last night for Bar Harbor, where he
goes to see Mr.. Blaine. Mr. SewalI had
far from a pleasant trip to Berlin. He is
said to nave been snubbed by the German
officials and to have been treated as an in
ferior by the American Commissioners.
He expected, as a man familiar with the
situation, to be consulted freely and TO
have considerable share in shaping the
policy of the American Commissioners
He cut rather sorry figure in Berlin on
the whole, and came home considerably
irritated by the treatment he received, and
1t is said he is not disposed 10 take as rose
tinted view of the Treaty as his superiors,
who basked in the smiles of Bismarck.
His experiences in Samoa were not such
as to inspire him with faith
in the honesty of Germany's dealings
in regard 10 the islands; and rightly or
wrongly be is credited with believing that
the Commissioners on the part of the
United States were oyer-reached by the
German representatives.
Assistant Secretary of State Wharton
sdid ~ q tSpltStHldiiNS VI ilE sun iO-udy
that nothing will be said by the Depart
ment IN regard to the treaty until ii is
finally made public in the usual way after
going to the Senate.
No information conld be obtained as to
the object of Mr.. Sewall's trip to Bar Har-
Dor, bat he will doubtless give Mr.. Blaine
full account of the Berlin Conferepce
from his point of view.
The diplomatic doings since March 4,
1889 must be very interesting to ex-Secre-
tary Bsyard. Mr. Bates is sent to Berlin
with an apology in his mouth, and Mr..
SewaN, who does not seem to be an apolo-
getic man, is sent as an assistant. Mr..
Bates was schooled by Witnessing the snub-
bing received By the ex-Consul to Samoa.
OF course Mr.. Sewall did not enjoy this
suffering Mr.. Bates, like anybody else
who had been forgiven, enjoyed the vicari-
Gus suffering, bat Sewsil the. victim, has
apparently, like a worm, turned.
1t is possible that the American people
will hear more about the treaty than they
expected to hear before the meeting Of
Congress.
The above article was shown to
Walker Blaine this afternoon, who, after
reading it, said: There is no significance
whatever in the return of ex-Consul Sew
all TO New England. He lives at Bath,
Me-. and his duties in connection with the
Samoan Commission having been finished,
he has returned home. There is no foun-
dation for the story that he has gone to
Bar Harbor, to consult with my father re-
garding Samoan affairs, for there is no
necessi ~ fol such a step"

volunteer Matermelons.

A good crop of volunteer watermeIons is
maturing on the large fruit ranch of A. 7.
Hatch in the Langford colony. Last year
Mr.. Hatch planted melons between the
rows of trees, but since the crop was taken
off the ground has been plowed twice, har-
rowed twice and cultivated four times.
Notwithstanding all this disturbance of
the soil the seeds, which remained in the
ground during the warm rains of winter
and spring, did not sprout until few
weeks ago. In fact. the volunteers are
even later than those planted this year.
Cecil Waters, the experienced horticultu-
rist employed by the Hatch-Armstrong
Fruit and. Nut Company, says he never
heard of volunteer melons growing on land
that had been so thoroughly worked. The
vines are looking as good and healthy as
any, and the yield of melons per acre will
be up to the average-Lodi Sentinel

WASHINGTON, July 26 h.-SecretaTy Win
dom, this afternoon, on the recommends
ton of Supervising Inspector General of
Steam Vessels Dumont, dismissed from the
service Robert Hall, Assistant Inspector of
Life Preservers at New York. The place
pays $1,000 per annum. Hall was ap-
pointed two years ago TO fill vacancy
caused by death. Sometime since Du-
mont's attention was attracted to some Pc
culiaritieS in Halls correspondence and on
investigation found that Hall had been on
duty at the office but thirty-seven days in
the past year, yet had drawn full pay. He
then recommended his dismissal and the
office abolished. During The past six weeks
Hall spent but two days in the office and
drew full pay, amounting to about S240.
Dumont reported the fact and the dismissal
followed. 1t is probable the office will be
abolished and the duties attached to some

New YORK, July 26th-The clerks of the
suspended firm of Lewis Brothers & Co.
were busy to-day making entry of assets.
The partners of the firm refuse 10 talk I'M
til q statement has been prepared. The
firm think the assets will be sufficient to
pay the creditors, but business men think
unless speedy settlement is obtained the
assets will not be more than half the lia-
bilities. Litigation is apt to follow, de-
spite the high reputation OF the firm
Some of the creditors will grab everything,
while those who are Inclined 10 be friendly
will fare badly. If, however, the creditors
by concerted action can put the firm
on its feet again by speedy
settlement, good results NAV follow. II is
not known where the distribution will be
made. The main house being in Philadel-
phia, the administration of the estate and
payment of dividends NAV take place
there, but the bulk of the litigation, if there
be any, will be in New York Their stock

not apply to all rail routes. So far no tariff

Indians listened with close attention, but
gave no evidence of interest in the matter

was announced that fifteen beeves would
be issued, and during the conversation
which followed with reference to the details
the Indians were thoroughly interested,
and finally all the Commissioners shock
hands with evident good humor. The
next Council will be held Monday. From
conversation with many persons, more or

lieved that for some weeks they have beea
talking the matter over with each other,

WYOMING TRAGEDY.
Cattle Thieves Want to Have Their Re
Venge on the Lynchers.


CHEYENNE, July 26th. - The element
which is so anxious to prosecute those who
lynched Cattle Kate Maxwell and Jim
Averill, condones the hanging OF Averil,
but agrees that the woman should have
been spared. The situation OF affairs is al
together peculiar. The faction which is
just now calling for justice is led by men
recently liberated from Jail after being tried
for the crime for which the dead people
suffered. They have enlisted the sympathy
Of citizens by recalling the lavish manner
in which Kate was wont TO spend money at
Rawlins in her palmy days.
Prominent men in Rawlius say the town
will be RACED before the punishment of the
lynchers is permitted. Lately the "maver-
ickers" have threatened 10 kill any man
who interfered with them, and George B.
Henderson, foreman of the III outfit" +"
was followed hundred miles by these
threateners. A foreman of one OF Delegate
Carey's ranches was beaten by "rustlers, "
and, being threatened with death, left the
country.
If these men are prosecuted" said a
leading citizen of Rawlins in Cheyenne,
"a reign OF terror will be begun and blood
will flow on the wind.swept prairies as il

WAR OF RATES.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Compan.
Demanding Their Rights.

DtHIstHuIHs IHeH KNISHts'
New YORK, July 26th.-The officials of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company noti-
fed the Transcontinental Association that
unless the subsidy from railroads is in
creased they will cut rates and take all the
freight they can get. II Is thought this is
preliminary step to a war against the
Canadian Pacific road, and The fact that
the Southern Pacific has refused to allow a
differential rate to the Canadian Pacific is
considered a confirmation of this belief.
The transcontinental roads intimate that
they are willing to divide the through bus
mess, giving the Canadian Pacific per
cent, and dispatches from Chicago received
to-day said the Canadian Pacific was will
ling 10 agree to it.
If the Canadian Pacific insists upon a
differential rate. however, war of rates
will certainly follow.

could reach nothing but long waste of
thickly packed ice could be seen. Seven
long days and nights amid great sufierings
the battle with the ice continued, and final.

five tremendous glittering monsters loomed
up in full view. On the 18th seventeen
