NO COAL FOR SAMOA.

Commodore sehIey Knows Nothing
 About the purchase of Coal For Pa
 go.Pago-The Resignation of MT.
 SewalI Is Received.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Commodors Schley, chief of the bureau of enquiry and repairs, says that the story afoat about coal being purchased by the United States and sent to Samoa was news to him. He had a1- so heard that there were ten thousand tons of coal on the way now to Samoa from Aus- tralia which was claimed to have been bought by the government. All that he knew about the place being used as g coal ing station was that in 1880 the government sent 2,500 tons of coal to Samoa and not a particle of it had been touched until three months ago, when the war vessels arrived there and began to use it. If the coal had been bought, it was bought by someone high CT in rank than he, and as he has charge of coal should have been purchased without his knowledge.
 The conferees an the diplomatic and con- agreement and will report early next week. of $500, ,000 for the maintenance of American rights in Samoa, while the Sen- ate conferees agree to allow the provision of $10O, 900 for the naval station at Pago-Pago to go into the naval appropriation bill
 The resignation of H. M. Sewall as consul general at Samoa was received by the Secre- tary of State Saturday.

DIR. McGLxNN AT COOPER UNION.

His Address Last Night on the. Burial
 of Prince Rudolph as Compared
 with that of John Mcclure.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Cooper Union was filled to the doors tonight when Dr. Mo- dlynn delivered an address on "The burials of Prince Joseph and John McGuire." He said:
 'I do not like to say much of dead men, and it will occur to you why associate the names of Prince Rudolph with that of John McGuire, poor workingman who died at a anti-poverty society's meeting. McGuire practiced the Christian religion, and he was a horny handed son of toll. The dispatches from Austria do not tell us just what kind of Christian the late prince was. John Mo- Guire never asked charity, while Rudolph was royal imperial pauper. Rudolph was all lowed to live on the labors of thousands of men. The object of coupling these men to- gether was because of the inconsistency of the church. The remains of John Mo Guire will be evicted from their time, while Rudolph's will be allowed to rest in royal tomb. With all the splen- dor of his burial Rudolph was suicide, which, according to the tenets of the CAtho- lic church, is sin. The highest dignitaries of the church attended his obsequies, and say that the consecrated ground where his remains are laid is not fit place for them, but the Catholic church did not deny him Christian burial. John Mcclure was poor, and died not by his own hand, and yet he was denied Christian burial"
