THAT BERLIN CONFERENCE.
Opialons that Bismarck Has Delayed the
Conference for Purpose.

opiaions that Bismarck Has Delayed the
Conference for a Purpose.
BALTIMORE. February 14.-The "Sun's"
Washington special says: "It looks now
very much as if the Samoa conference at
Berlin will not be held by representatives
of the present administration. Count Arco
Valley, the German minister, called upon
Secretary Bayard yesterday, and informed
him that the latter's answer to Bismarck g
proposal for q conference had been sent to
Berlin by mail. It will reach Berlin about
the Goth. The German foreign office will
probably take several days to consider
Bayard's suggestions, and an answer. if
sent by mail, will hardly reach this coun-
try before the beginning OF Harrison's
regime. There seems to be no good reason
why the correspondence should not have
been conducted by telegraph. The as
sumption is that Bismarck 9 resort to the
mails was simply a trick to gain time to
punish the Samoans before the negotiations
at Berlin. -...-~..--.-..- .-..--
"In well-informed quarters here, there is
a suspicion that Germany had already sent
reinforcements to Samoa to evenge the
killing OF number Of men in the recent
fight with Mataafa. 1t is not at all unlikely
that we will ultimately hear OF another
bloody oattle.
"Bayard, however, has made a most Wig
orous protest against such a course, and
has limited that it would be scarcely worth
while to hold conference. unless Germany
gives practical evidence of sincere desire
to promote the restoration of peace in the
islands, by foregoing her desire for ven
geance.'

COUNTING THE ELECTORAL VoTE
Both Houses of Congress Meet in Joint

Both Houses of Congress Meet in Joint
Session and Go Through the Forms.
WASHINGTON, February 13.-The chamber
of the House presented lively scene this
afternoon at p. M, when the two Houses
met in Joint session to count the electoral
vote. Captain Bassett carried the box con-
tanning the returns from the electoral col
leges. The representatives remained stand
ing until the Senators took their seats.
Senator Ingalls, stood on the right OF the
Speaker and called the joint assembly to
order and stated the business before it.
The presiding officer then broke the seal
of the certificate from Alabama and handed
it to Senator Henderson, one OF the tellers,
who read the document. 1t was in due
iorm and showed that the electoral vote of
Alabama had been cast for Cleveland and
Thurman. Thereafter the reading of the re-
turns was dispensed with, and the tellers,
after inspection, merely announced the re-
suit in each state.
The count Of the returns was completed
and footed without important incident.
The presiding officer, upon receiving the
result said "The vote for president of the
United States, as delivered to the presi-
dent of the Senate, is as follows: Whole
number of electors appointed to vote for
President of the United States is 4O1.
Benjamin Harrison of the state of Indiana,
received for President OF the United States
233 votes, and Grover Cleveland OF the
state OF New York, receives 16S votes" In
like manner and with the same majority
the election of Levi P. Morton OF New York
to be Vice-President, was declared, and
both were directed to be entered in the
journals OF the Senate and House. The
Joint session then dissolved.

and dApprenticeships.


PHILADELPHIA, February 14.-The Ma
tional Association of Builders in conven-
tion has devoted the day to the considera-
tioa 81 the reports OF committees appointed
at the last annual convention. The report
OF the committee on alien law led TO an ex-
tended discussion, which finally resulted in
the adoption OF the following:
"Resolved, that this association send to
the Legislature or Governor Of each state,
district or territory in the union, request
that action be taken to secure an amend
ment OF the alien laws so that they will
only protect the actual personal labor per-
formed by journeymen and laborers upon
property liable to attachment in amount
not to exceed the value of twenty-four
days work for each individual entitled to
protection and claim of the direct contrac-
tor, and that all filial bodies be recon-
mended and urged to do their utmost to &C.
cure, in their various state Legislatures, the
above desired action"
Before the session adjourned, the New
York delegation offered the following, which
was adopted:
"That this convention use it's influence
and recommend to the Legislatures OF the
different states the passage of law making
it felony for any person or association to
prevent or hinder any American youth from
learning some trade or handicraft.

Petition to the u. S. Government.
SAN Francisco, February 13.-The steam
ship Rio Janeiro arrived from China and
Japan, bringing Hong Kong advices to
January 10th, and Yokohoma to January
25th.
Serious trouble is reported on the Ton
quin frontier, and there are frequent skir-
mishes between the natives and French
troops. Outside CT Il Fong and Hangoi
and the coast parts, the French author
tiles, it is contended, have little hold on
the country.
At Man Kay, on the Chinese frontier, q
band OF one thousand native recently at
tackled the French and had practically
driven the French out OF Man Kay. The
latter claimed that the rebels were rein
forced by troops from tie regular Chinese
army, encamped opposite Man Kay. In
the fight turee French soldiers were killed
and five wounded.
The English Governor OF Hong Kong has
been petitioned by the Chinese OF Hong
Kong to request the British Government to
address the American Government with q
view to the withdrawal OF the exclusion
bill. The petition contends that the action
of toe United States and Australia is con-
trary to international treaties, and, If per-
sisted in, will result in the commercial ruin
of Hong Kong.

THE BEAVER CAN STAY.
Davis moved to strike out the word
'beaver" in the bill. He didn't think the
beaver should be protected. In the spring
of the year when--the ranchmen wanted
their bitches clear SO they could get the
water, the beaver would build dams across
it and stop it up, and if the farmer opened
it in the morning he would have to open it
the next morning.
Blakely said that the beaver building the
dams should be the very cause OF it's preser-
walton. The county was building dams to
reservoir up water, when the beaver was
l1s- aop n.
ment was lost.
Dawson, OF Deer Lodge, wanted elk
stricken out. Elk were plentiful, and the
Indians would kill elk, and no way could be
made to prevent them.
Whitney, OF Yellowstone, wanted to
know if the gentleman meant to say that
it was impossible to prevent Indians from
going off the reservations to kill animals.
Down in his county the officers arrest In
dians who didn't obey the law and he
couldn't see why it couldn't be done else
where. The Indian had nothing to do with
it. Amendment lost. First section adopted.
Joslyn wanted the time to kill deer ex-
tended from the 18th of December to Janu-
ary LIST. Lost. Section adopted as read
and amended, 13 to 6. Section adopted
as read.
Murray moved to amend the fourth Sec
ton by substituting the provision that any
person having in his possession hide or
flesh of any OF the enumerated animals,
between the prescribed dates shall be
liable to q line. This being q new thought
not before suggested. Haskell said that it
ought to be put in the first section if put
as it appertained to that sec
tion. So the gentleman withdrew his
and the section passed, as
also did the fifth and last section.
A motion was then put and carried to re-
consider the first section OF the bill.
Haskell then introduced nn amendment
to this section providing that the having in
the possession of any person between the
periods named the hide or flesh of any Of
the animals mentioned, such should be pre-
evidence of the party. This was
carried by vote OF II to 2, and section
was adopted. The committee arose and re-
ported back to the House a recommends
tion that the bill do pass as amended.
The House then took recess until 2
o'clock.

raging is the worst so far this season. The
snowfall has not been very heavy, but the
wind is terrific, and the dry snow has been
whrled into great drifts, making travel ex-
ceedingly difficult in the cites, while in the
outlying districts it is totally out OF the
question. Train travel is thoroughly de-
moralized. Outgoing trains are cancelled
and incoming ones hid away in snow drifts

ported and others not. Seven people are

him by LIE Caron, during the strike of the

The Barbed Wire Monopoly Likely to Go

ST.. LOUIS, February 13.-An important
discovery has been made here, which is that
the control OF barbed wire patents is not
vested 10 any American firm or corpora
ton, because device OF barbed wire was
patented in France to Louis Janin, April
10, 1865. Under the United States law,
this invalidates the United States patent,
and, it is claimed, may render the pat
entees liable for past royalties collected.
