BISMARCK ON SAMOA.
Consul Knappe's " Fresh
Conduct Condemned.
THE IRON CHANCELLOR HOT.
A Candid Admission that Germany
Has Nothing to do With the
Samoan Affairs.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
BERLIN April 19.-The Samoan "white
book" has just been issued, obviously
in view of the approach of the Samoan
Conference. In a dispatch to Herr
Stubel, the new German Consul to Sa-
moa, dated April 10th, Prince Bismarck
censures Consul Knappe's conduct
throughout the troubles in Samoa. He
dwells upon the deplorable fact that with
an inadequate force and without author
ity, urgency or the likelihood of success,
Consul Knappe took measures, on De-
eember 18th, which resulted in the
death of large number of persons and
an undesirable change in the position Of
the planters, besides ieopardizing peace
with America, while quiescence would
have preserved tolerable state Of
affairs. The sanction of the other
treaty powers being lacking, he says.
Consul Knappe's demand for the control
of the foreign relations of Samoa was of
no force and compelled him (Bismarck)
to notify Great Britain and America of
it's withdrawal. The Chancellor con-
cludes by declaring that Germany has
nothing to do with the internal affairs
of Samoa; that her mission is restricted
to protecting the Germans and enabling
them to develop commercial interests.
Prince Bismarck has issued an order in
which he defines the res possibility OF the
commanders of war ships with respect to
the requests of consuls abroad. The
Chancellor directs the commanders to
examine for themselves the legal and
political grounds for such request, un-
less the consul produces special author
ity from the German Foreign Office,
as reason for his action. Prince Bis
marck refers to the recent events in
Samoa, where he says an unauthorized re-
quest resulted in great loss Of life and in
jury to German interests, and the dam
ger was thereby incurred of Germany
becoming EN- broiled with friendly ma
tion, with no conclusive reasons existing
for the intervention of armed forces.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-04-19

and acted upon. a proposition that ap-
plicants for membership in subordinate
pArlors shall bind themselves not to seek
redress in the libel courts for any action
of the parlor, and that in all elections in
subordinate parlors the roll shall be
called, were carried. A resolution detin-
ing the privileges Of q member holding
a withdrawal card prevailed.
At the afternoon session the thanks OF
the Grand Parlor were extended to
Mount Tamalpiss Parlor and its com.
mite for their generous entertainment OF
the delegates. The election of officers
was taken up and resulted as follows;
Frank d. Ryan of Sacramento, Presi-
dent VIM. II. Miller of San Francisco,
Grand Vice-President Henry Longstedt
of San Francisco, Grand Secretary /;
Henry s. Martin Of San Francisco, Grand
Treasurer A. L. Drummer of Sacramento,
Grand Lecturer; F. p. Tuttle of Auburn,
Grand Orator; Conrad Gottwalls, Inside
Sentinel. Resolutions sending greeting
to the Native Daughters on the success
o, their organization were adopted; also
one providing for the election Of His
torian by subordinate parlors. The Gen
eral Winn Monument Committee was
with the thanks of the Grand
Parlor.

Plugged Hose Gave the Flames
Full Sway.

PORTLAND, Ogn., April 18.-A very
disastrous fire occurred this morning at

cred that the hose had been plugged

fire attained such headway that the
block was entirely destroyed. The
principal losses were as follows:

A UsURPING MAYOR.
He Forces I'm a Republican Council
Illegally and Tries the safe.

Ell PAso, Tex, April lS.-Ihe con-
tested city election took new turn to-
day. For several days past the old
Mayor, Republican, and the old Coun-
Gil, composed OF five Democrats and
three Republicans, have been sitting as
canvassing board and hearing
arguments from the lawyers of the DEM
ocratic and Republican contestants.
This afternoon, an adjourned meeting OF
the old Board was held in the City Hall.
The Mayor presided and put a motion
made by Democratic member. Another
motion was made by Democratic men,
ber when the Mayor spraDg to his feet,
declined to recognize him, pulled
the election returns from his pocket and
announced that he proposed to have the
vote counted. A Democratic Council
man moved to adjourn. The Mayor
ruled him out of order. Seeing the
Mayor determined not to put the ques-
tion or recognize the Democratic Alder
man, the five Democratic members left
the hall, thus leaving the Council
without q quorum. In the face OF
no quorum, the Mayor instructed
the City Clerk to take down the returns
as he read them. There being no quo
rum, the Clerk declined to act. The
Mayor then designated clerk, and had
the vote counted without quorum, and
declared the Republican municipal
ticket elected. The Republican
contestants were sworn in and
the usurping Mayor began to
swear-in special police, after appoint
ing the old City Marshal and the police
force to act. He then tried TO get into
the city safe. While working at the COM
bination the Marshal sent policemen
to guard the safe. The policeman pushed
the usurping Mayor back and took charge
of the safe. At this moment the police
man was covered with double-barrel
shotgun ia the hands of one of the usurp-
ing party. Five cases of Winchester
rifles were procured from a German
house doing business in Mexico with a
branch in Ell Paso, and we're put in the
hands of the special police, sworn in by
the usurping Mayor and of other Republi-
cans who had assembled. The City Hall
was then in charge of an armed posse Of
Republicans. The two regular city po-
liceman made no demonstration, but
had their lawyers swear out an
the District Judge, preventing the
usurplng mayor liou! acCine, Shu ptV
ting the City Hall in the hands of the
court. The Sheriff served the Injunction
and took possession of the hall. The
armed posse at the City Hall dispersed
quietly after the SherifPs visit, and at 10
O'Clock the old City Council again met
with quorum and adjourned until to-
morrow to continue the canvass. The
old Mayor having refused to recognize
the old Council, Councilman johnson
presided and appointed a large force OF
special police to act with the City Mar
shal. The man whom the usurping
Mayor appointed Captain of the special
police is not resident of Texas.
Great indignation is expressed at the
armed mob in the City Hall, and the
attempt of the old Mayor to act without
a quorum of the Council.
