WAgaISoroN. J3u. 31.--The intelli.
genoe from Auckland that tina GermGus
propose searching all vessels touching at
tho Samoan Islands was known in the
Senate to-day before the vsts was taken
on tho amendments to the diplomatic bill
reported from the committee on foreign
re,ati0rs. 1. caused marked sensation,
and intimatlons we're thrown out by vsri.
Gus senators that tho situation was
sssuming very grave aspect indeed.
The amendments were adopted With en-
tire nnan nifty, bnt this will cot BIZ any
means be hl ond of the subject. There
will be no dissent in uny gua,tsr that the
Germans must moi be permitted to search
American vessels. II orders have been
issued TO the German war VESSELS in
samoan waters TO take such high handed
proceedings while in the meantime Biz.

AoeMpuErE BACH DOWN.
been pitsnl begging Of tho whole
question. When Senator Reagan pro-
posed to Insert in the diplomatic bill a
clause declaring that the money nppro-
ptiatsd for use ia Samoa was "fos the
protection OF the rights OF American
Citizsns" and "to preserve thu neutrality
and Independence" Of Samoa, Mr., tlsle,
ono Of The acknowledged Repnblican
l=gdeFs, ana a senator from Mr.. Blaine's
state, cooily said he was not willing 'for
the Senat9 Co declare etismatively that it
wou|d preserve the neutrality or
maintain the independence Of any
people" What sort of 'jingoiEm'
is this? u this tho kind of
'visori we hre to expect when MIR. Blaine
iases the helm az the etats department
Ms BlyRrd has, sill slorg, insisted upon
the independence o. 5alooa. In oiher
| words, he has Hona whNL MI. Hale and
Nj, Sherman ore too tiniid TO even au-
th1riza, and -et he has been a.saiied
from every quarter for trucking to
| Bismarck.
IGNORING NIB DlYARD.
II ID almost Incredible that the Rspnb-
lican members Of the committee Oh for
eien relations hove from tfst TO last
sought no consultations with the State
Department, and, as Mr. Bayard says,
''soarcely ever entered its portals ut IS OF
the frat importance that the committee
o. the legislature OF any country having
charge OF its foreign atislFa should DO IN
full and free intercourse with the GORE
4 spending executive department 1t ia
doubtful il SIR. Sherman in the whole
tous years new ending has ever seen tit to
confer With the Secretary Of state. YET
he is chairman Of the committee on FOR.
eigu relations, and lis duty il to uphold
with all his might the STATE Dapartmon,
in proper administration Of cur foreign
affairs. II ig not tooastroug Az assertion &c
say that SIR. sherman and his RHpu llclr
colleagues Of the committee nave snbiu
gated patriotism altogether to partisan
prejudice and the hope OF partisan adYAn
tage.
