BERLIN, April 27.-The members of the
commission to consider the questions con-
cerning Samoa have seen Bismarck and
Count Herbert. The former expressed his
confidence that the conference would be
harmonious. The foreign Office seems 10
be assured Of the early termination OF the
negotiations. The commission, however,
expect the sittings will be protracted for
several months, especially II the charges
against Klein. involving claims against the
American government are brought up.
Bismarck certainly intends TO place the evi-
dence OF Brundelr, knappe and others be-
fore the conference, but he has AbAn-
dOned the claims for indemnity arising
from Klein's action. This concession
ought to shorten the proceedings. The
claim against the Samoans for plundering
German traders and planters will be main
tained. There Is occasion 10 believe Eng
land supports the principal German de-
mands The fact that the American dele
gates are not empowered 20 admit an
amount Of indemnity is not likely TO give
rise 10 any disagreement, being merely the
custom. As 10 the accuracy of the claims
presented, the foreign Offices method Of
levy presents difficulties, and from the
nature OF communications between
Count Herbert Bismarck and the Hamburg
firms interested In Samoa II is surmised the
Indemnity will take the form OF extended
land concessions supervised by land
court composed Of representatives, from
Samoa, Germany, England and the United
States. Bayard's scheme OF government,
which included royal council and legisa-
ture composed OF two houses. IN which the
three powers will be represented, will not
be entertained, Bismarck adhering TO the
principals OF noI-.ntefferance with the To-
cal government. Ofical papers rather az.
feet Indifference toward the conference.
The Cologne Gazette briefly concludes
that a favorable result IL already assured.
A strongly phrased article In the Magde-
burg Gazette, q national-libeTal paper, Is In
| marked contrast with the reserved tone OF
the general press. This paper declares
that German honor requires punishment OF
the assailants Of Dec. IL, and 1t demands
protection for planters by permanent set
tlement OF the whole Samoan group In the
lines followed by England In Egypt The
article misrepresents both official and pub
| lie feeling.
Count Herbert bismarck, after an In
formal greeting. gave reception TO all the
commissioners
A programme has been arranged for the
opening OF the conference on Monday.
Kass0n and Phelps have already made
favorable impression on the German and
English officials. The idea prevails In the
foreign ofiice that Phelps will become chief
OF the American legation.

Of copies had been printed. Bismarck
showed perfect familiarity with the con-

Dealings In Mining stocks al Rutts The

BUTTE. April 97.-lSpecial TO the lnde-
pendent There has been unusual Ac-
tyity In the mining market In Butte this
week, and mining brokers all report more
sales than In any preceding week, The
transactions were all in substantial stocks
such as Granite Mountain, which stifened
up to Sl9, and Bi-MetAllic, which was a
free seller At Sal 80 Hope remained firm
at 81 SO bid and S5 asked, while there was
considerable dealing in Poorman at 20
cents. Mining brokers report an unusual
interest In substantial Montana mining
stocks, and are unanimous in predicting a
great year for the mining industry all over
the territory.

Tracy has decided that he has authority
under the law TO proceed with the con-
struction of the great coast defense vessel.
There will be no Reimbursement, and the
only question yet 70 be decided is which Of
the three bids submitted shall be accepted.
Cramps bid was the lowest, but the Union
Iron Works, OF California, whose bid was
but s14. 900 above him, are likely TO secure
the work, In consideration of the fact that
they absolutely guarantee the success OF
the ship for the amount OF their bid, which
was 81, 1000. This decision OF the secre-
tary will involve the abandonment OF the
idea OF building q submarine torpedo boat.

A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.

A State contemporary suggests
that the people OF the silver States
and Territories assemble in mass
meetings and pledge themselves TO
support no political party that does
not make remonetizatien of silver,
one of its principles. 1t is a SEN
sible suggestion. The silver men
have appealed successfully to the
sense OF justice of the ruling poll
ticians at Washington, now let them
appeal TO their fears. Let the
men who shape the legislation Of
the country be made to understand
that the people OF the West are in
ernest, and that the silver ques-
ton is of as vital importance to
them as the question is to the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania. 1t is the only
way in which we can obtain such
recognition OF our claims as will re-
suit in any practical benefit through
the channel of National legisla
ton.

OUGHT TO BE JAILED.

Lee & Perrin, OF London, have
entered suit against Jacob Kline of
San Francisco, because he has
manufactured vile imitation of
their Worcestershire Sauce. The
genuine article has been enjoyed by
millions oil epicures al over the
world.
The counterfeit article is a rank
smelling compound that fills the
room with odors and fouls the
breath so that person who has
used it can be detected yards away.
Yet there restaurants and hotels
which persist in keep ny il under
the idea that their customers DO
not know the difference. No one
who has ever used the genuine can
be fooled by the counterfeit, aud
anyone who uses, sells or has the
counterfeit in his possession ought
to be Jailed.
