1--WE CENTENNIAL PEOPLE"
How They Unsuooessfully Tried to Brighten
New Jerseys Governor.

NEW YORK, April give centennial
people, is the latest. This is the term by
which Mr. Stuyvesant Fish characterizes
himself and his associates. 1t appears in
letter to Mr.. Simms, Of Philadelphia,
who has charge of the presidential trans
portaton arrangements in that city.
The publication of the substance Of that
letter makes a brilliant climax to the
many startling scintilations which have
from time burst forth from Mr.. Fish dur
ing this centennial season. The letter
reads practically as follows
The presidential party must leave Gov
crnor Green's house at Elizabeth by 9
o'clock on Monday morning. Ii Governor
Green will not guarantee that this Will be
done, we centennial people will arrange
that the presidential train will not stop at
Elizabeth at all. This is intended as
threat to Governor Green. We do not ex
pect to make this change in our
plans and do not want to, as Governor
Green will probably yield to this threat.
4 pril 49, 1889"
This remarkable letter was evolved from
train of circumstances which form the
history of New jerseys space in the re-
ception to President Harrison and his
party. 1t was, however, in newlse result
of these circumstances 1t is truly Won
derful threat and wonderful letter. Several
weeks ago Governor Green, at the reg ueSt
of I'VE centennial people" arranged to re-
ceive the president at his home III Eliza
brth and entertain him at breakfast. At
that time it was arranged that the presl-
Dental party WAS to embark at Elizabeth
for New York at l o'clock so Governor
Green had arranged to fill in the time be-
tween the arrival Of the president from
Washin ton and his departure for New
York with breakfast and reception, TO
which the most prominent people in the
state were invited. After all these ar
rangements had been made and APP
proved by I'VE centennial people"
it was discovered that the
tide was high an hour
earlier than was expected and that the
party would have to embark earlier than
had been arranged For some inscrutable
reason it was not deemed proper for I'VE
centennial people" to communicate this
fact to Governor Green, so the above quoted
letter was sent. Governor Green is man
whose blood is of the bluest. 1t took him
about four minutes TO address Mr.. Fish IN
substantially the following manner:
Although this letter was not sent TO
me in TIE first instance, the fact Is that a
copy sent in this manner makes 1t prac-
tically mine. | will. therefore, reply that
| would be most happy to accede to any
reasonable request but Will not change
my plans for Mr.. Stuyvesant Fish, or any
other man, under threat"

MEMORIAL DAY.
Commander Warner Speaks Of Excessive
Burdens Imposed Upon Southern
Members.

KANSAS CITY, 27.-Major Warner, COM
mauder-in-chief of the @. \. R, in general
order number s. designating May so as
memorial day, says: Attention is direct
ed to the excessive burden that falls upon
the infant posts that are struggling for
existence in the south where more than
$1,000 of our comrades lie in national
cemeteries whose graves in many cases are
sadly neglected on memorial day owing to
the scarcity of our membership in those
10 ,alities- The national encampment
through its council OF administration
has authorized the quarter-master general
to make provisions for supplying flags TO
mark every grave in these cemeteries,
but donations of flowers, flags or funds
from individuals or posts would be CRATE
fully received by either our comrades hav-
ing the matter in charge or the superin-
tendents of the national cemeteries nota-
bly, at Marietta, Ga; Chattanooga, Tenn;
Memphis, Tenn: Nashville, Tenn; Freder-
icksourg. Va; Arlington, Va; Salisbury,
y. c.: Chslmette. La; Nicksburg, Miss,
and Anfersonville, Ga, in each one OF
which the remains OF more than 1000
union soldiers repose. The commander
in-chief also reminds the comrades that
contributions to the Logan monument
fund should be sent to General Alger, at

THE SAMOAN CONFERENCE.
Americas Delegates Warmly Received by
the Bismarcks.

Copyright 1859 by the New York Associated fress'
BERLIN, April 27.-The members Oh the
commission to consider the questions COLI
corning Samoa have seen Prince BISMARCK
and Count Herbert Bismarck. The former
briefly expressed his confidence that the
conference would be harmonious. Inc
foreign office asked to be assured OF an
early termination of the negotiations. The
commission, however, expect that the si1-
tings will be protracted for several months,
especially if the charges against Klein are
brought up. Prince Bismarck certainly
intends to place the evidence OF herr
Brandeis and Knappe and others before
the conference but he has abandoned the
claims for indemnity arising from Klein
action. This concession ought to shorten
proceedings The claim against the "a
means for plundering German traders ana
planters will be maintained. 1here Is
reason TO believe that England supports
the principle of German demands, and IL
Is said that the American delegates are
empowered to admit it. The indemnity Is
not likely to give rise to any disagreement,
merely a question as to accuracy OF the
claims presented The foreign office
method of levy presents difficulties; FROM
the nature of the communications between
Count Herbert Bismarck and Hamburg
firms interested in Samoa, 1t is surmlsed
that the indemnity will take the form OF
extended land cesslons, supervised ny
land board composed OF representatives
from Samoa, Germany, England ana the
United States. Mr.. Bayard's scheme OF
government, which includes royal coun-
eli and legislature composed OF two houses
in which the three powers Will be repre-
sented. will not be entertained, Prince
Bismarck adhering to the principle OF nom
Intervention with the local government.
The official papers rather affect lndlner-
ence toward the conference.
Mr. Bates explained to Count Herbert
Bismarck that since the publication OF
the official dispatches in the white DOCK,
which showed the attitude of the German
government, his article in the Century
Magazine which he had written as prl.
vale and uniformed person, had lost all
point. He said that he had the utmost es-
TEEN for Germany, TO which country
America owed much. Nothing was furth-
or from his thoughts than to wound either
the German nation or the German govern
ment. MIR. Bates said he desired that this
statement be published and he trusted II
would remove entirely any i'll telling
toword him.
Prince Bismarck showed a perfect
familiarity with the Samoan question
He expressed the hope that the conference
would be brief. He referred frequently tc
the diplomatic ami parliamentary expert
ence of Messrs. Kasson and Phelps. The
first sitting was held at $50 p. ~. today al
the foreign office.

AN EDITORS VIEWS.

KANSAS CITY, April 27--Mr. j. A. Ora
ham, chief editorial writer of the Kansas
City Times, who has been in the Indian
territory before, has just returned from
two weeks trip through Oklahoma. He
says the stories of murders, personal en-
counters and lack of food are all inven-
tons. An immense amount Of flash writ
ing, he says, seems to have been done pure
" to furnish entertainments for readers
and with no regard for facts. 1t is doubt
full whether a single homicide has occurred
in Oklahoma None OF those told
about in the newspapers have been
attested by witnesses. There has been
plenty of food in the new towns from the
first and no lack of water. The elections
have been noisy, but not nearly as much so
as most city primaries. The people have
been almost without exception not only
peaceful, but good humored in their differ.
ences of opinion. The dust in Guthrie and
kingfisher has been disagreeable. just as
dust is everywhere. So has the heat in the
middle of the day. The nights are very
cool and pleasant. The man who has
looked for the natural discomforts OF a
totally new country has found what he
expected. The one who went down there
with a vague idea of having the comforts
of his home is disappointed. That Is about
all there is TO the flash writing. Not a
drunken man has been seen either In
Guthrie or kingtiSher.

EXTRA SESSION TALK.

| WASHINGTON, April N.-Very little i'm
portance has been attached to the reports
which have been put in circulation by diff
ferent persons to the effect that there would
be an extra session Of congress in the fall.
Within the last few days, however, there
have been several incidental remarks
made by congressman who have talked
with the president upon the subject, the
drift of which is that it is very probable
that there will be an extra session on about
the middle of October.
These suggestions have arisen out of the
fact that congressman who nave made
plans for an extensive tour of Europe,
have called upon the president and have
incidentally alluded to their plans. These
congressman have received an intimation
from the president that it may be expedi-
emit for them to so arrange their journey
that they will be able to be back to Wash
ington not far from October IL. There Is,
Of course, no purpose on the part or the
administration to convene congress until
after the new states shall have voted, but
there Is very strong pressure In favor OF
a called session as soon as possible
after the elections in the new states. The
Republicans have so much TO accomplish
in the next congress that they desire to
gain as much time as possible, especially
when it is by no means certain that their
majority will be as large as they expected.
At present, as the roll is made up, the Re-
publicans, ii the Democrats insist upon
Republican quorum, cannot be certain OF
more than one majority or at the utmost
three majority in the house. They had
hoped to add one Republican congress
man from each of the new states,
but the Democrats insist that they
are sure of carrying Montana
and of securing the congressman, even II
they should fail to elect the senator's
Some of the Democrats who are familiar
with Montana politics say that they have
good reason to expect that the Democrats
will elect their senators in that state.
They say that the wealthiest men In that
new state-and there are some very
wealthy men there-are nearly all Demo-
Gratis and that the law of Doodle will pre-
vail At all events. some of the wealthy
Democrats CT Montana intend to enter the
race for the senate, and hope to Win, what
ever may be the result as to congressman.
The Republican leaders are fully deter
mined that the new house shall adopt a
system of rules which will enable the
house to transact some business, to con-
troll it's own affairs and to permit the ma
iority to rule. None of these things can
be done under the system of rules which
has obtained for years. But the Demo-
Gratis will object to any change in the rules
which will give the Republicans an oppor-
tunity to enter upon the general program
of unseating Democrats from the south
and putting Republicans in their places.
