What was the cause of it?" asked a
GAZETTE reporter of him; care there no
hogs in the country?''
''They are very scarce he said;
"not exactly scarce - he added, by
way of correction, 'but they seem to be.
The fact is, crops are so abundant that
farmers who have hogs concluded that
there is more money in feeding them sur
plus than in selling it, and that is what
they are going to do with it this

aave hogs to sell, but now they

have raised on their farms. Everybody

there are going TO be more hogs raised

Oldest families of this city. They took up
their abode in handsome house in TIE
East End, where they lived for two or

able fortune, they began to travel for pleas
ure. Among many lands and places they
visited California. While in that State,

Of the wife, who earnestly protested, but
all TO no avail. Toward the end Of last
August, so ii is alleged. Mr.. Coleman and
Miss Gilbert sailed for Europe, where they
are now thought to be living, leaving the

Coleman, is a brother.in-law OF the late
Thomas NJ. Carnegie, and is one Of the
owners of the opera house, and the wife is

CUNNING FOR BLAINE.

Many Think He is Booked by Harrison
His Opponents Raking Up An Cd
Record.
WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE poll
ticans and Cabiuetmakers, says the Star,
will probably find new food for specula-
lion in the fact that Vice President.elect
Morton and Mrs. Morton have taken quar-
ters in the same houfe with Mr.. Blaine
and his family. In compliance with a re-
quest by telegraph, Mr William Walter
Pbelp3 has secured quarters at the Nor
mandie for Mr.. and Mre. Morton, and
they are expeCt ted Eere tomorrow. They
expect to remain in Washington for several
days.
Cabinet gossps are more than ever IN
clined to eccept 1t az certain that Blaine Is
TO 90 into the Cabinet, Notwithstanding
the efforts that are being made to keep him
out. Mr.. Blaine's friends have no doubt
OF hil receiving an invitation from General
Harrison 10 Join his official household. The
friends of Mr. Miller in Conk ress are in
clined 10 make great deal of the visit OF
his friend, Mr.. Plummer, to General Har-
rison. They say that Plummer was sent
for directly by General Harrison, and that
the result of the visit was to encourage the
hopes Of the Miller men.
Some of the snti-Blaine members OF both
Houses of Congress have dug up the old
Peruvian claim scandal that WAS investi-
gated by the House Comm ttee during the
Forty seventh Congress, aud are attempt
ing TO show TO General Harrison that MIR.
Blaine's association with the matter was
too intimate for discretion during his brief
term as Secretary OF State. A great deal
was said at the time about this Peruvian
business, and the connection OF Walker
Blaine ard Senator Blaine with it. as at
torneys fer the company. Mr.. Blaine, the
elder, WAS before the committee and at that
time the famous tilt between him and
Perry Belmont occurred.
About week ago some Senator's and
Repre- santatives in Congress who want to
keep Blaine out of the Cabinet caused o
search to be begun among the files of the
State Department relating 10 these Peru
Wan elaine, in the hope Of finding some
thing, which, in connection with the de-
velopments at the investigation, might
turn new light on the subject. They have
gathered all the information on the sub
itct which could be construed TO reflect
upon Mr. Blaine, ard have sent, or in-
tend TO send, at once, a paper on the sub
iect to General Harrison as an argument
why Mr.. Blaine should not be made Secre-
tary of State.

Drift OF Opinion In Gsrmany-Naval on
GERS Anxious to Win Lsurels.
LONDON, Sanuary 1.-THE expressions
of American opinion in relation to Samoan
affairs, which have been widely copied in
Germany, appear to have excited amorg
the leading journals and prominent classes
a mingled feeling of indignation and ooa-
tempt.
Certainly the gazsttes Of the larger cties
are aware Of the population and wealth Of
the United States, but they regard the
country as insignificant IN military
sense, and as only intent on trade and the
development of the unsettled portions Of
its large territories. The idea that such q
distant and unwarlike nation should care
TO interfere with the new colonial policy,
seems TO Germans to be audacious IN the
highest degree.
Naval officers who wish 10 win laurels
equal to those which their military broth
ers have gained on land, are hopeful Of
difficulty with the United States, and II
is even regasded at headquarters as rather
desirable event, in order TO give expert
ence to the crews and sugge.t future i'm
provements in the vessels. The Germans
have some good ships, well armed, and the
men preeen' sufficiently smart appear
auce. but the latter have not glven any
proof of seamanship to the world as yet.
The recalling OF GreenDaum, the Ameri'
can Consul at Apia, greatly discouraged
the American traders at Samoa, and Ger
man arrogance has increased enormously
since that event. IL was Of course inter
preted as a proof of American weakness on
the seas, and has placed the group OF
islands virtually under German control

It is common remark that GeTmany's

Secretary Bayard on the Samoan Disputa-Furthsr
Action Must be Taken by Congress
Hostile Tone Of the German
Press

WASHINGTON, January 19.-Secretsry
Bayard, speaking with friend a few days
ago regarding the attack made upon him
for permitting The Germans to occupy
Samoa, said:
The State Department has done ali that
it can do in regard 10 Samoa. All TIE cor
re;pondencs with Germany relating to the
situation there, including the alleged abuse
of American residents on the island, isrow
in the possession Of Congress Some Of it
was there more thsn year agr. ANY fur
ther action must necessarily come from
Con gress.

ago made request for a man-Ofwar, end
Secretary Whitney hiss kept one there per-
mapently, as he bad done at Honolulu
upon similar request. understand that
the Trenton, now az Panama, has been
ordered to Samoa to reinforce the Nipsic,
but neither ship would dare take any overt
action, 10 matter what the Germans may
DO 10 the islanders
''Under Section 12, Article l, of the Con-
stitutiOn, the right to declare war is vested
entirely in Congress. They are as fully
cOgnizant of the situation as the State De-
partment, ard Senator Frye knew year
ago Just as mu>h ss he does now. If war
with Germany is desired it must be so de-
clared by Congress We have done all in
the matter that it is possible for an exec
utive department TO do. American residents
there will be amply protected, but when it
comes to a contact with the forces OF o
friendly nation the matter assumes a differ
eut aspect. What the Germans will do
with the natives of Samoe, and our rela-
tiona with Germany in the same connec-
ton, are matters that reqaire considerable
diplomatic deKclcy and can only be settled
through diplomatic channels, unless, as l
have said, Congress decides TO interfere 10

Statehood Convention.
HURON, OAK, January 1.-THE snow
storm that set in early Wednesday morn
ing delayed the arrival of trains, and, in
order to give incoming delegates voice in
the organization, the Statehood Conyen-
tion was not called to order until late yes
terday afternoon.
Organization was effected, with Msior
A. G. Kellum, Of Chamberlain, as chair
msp, and adjournment was then taken
until p. IN. At that hour the convention
resssembled ard heard the report of the
Resolutions Ccmmittee, which was adopi
ed unanimously.
The resolutions set forth the fact that
the people of both North and South Da-
kota are ready and anxious for two States;
that the people of South Dakota, irrespec-
tive Of politics or party, petition the pres
ent Congress to take measures that will
Immediately admit them into the Union as
q State; that in the event that South Dl-
kota is not admitted by the present session
of Congress, the President is petitioned to
call special session thereof Immediately
following the 4th of next March, and, with
full faith and confidence in such admins
tration, it is submitted that such extra ses.
sion make provision for such immediate
admission as to Congress may seem Just
and proper. In the event that this session
makes no provision for admission, and in
the farther event that no extra session il
called, the present Territorial Legislature
is requested 10 provide new constitution

PARKERsBURG, W. VA, January H.
The Col. J. F. Vinal ard G. F. Scott PEN
eion case was the absorbing one in the U.
S. Court to-day. The defendants separated
on the trial and Vinal is now being tried.
The case is attracting marked attention,
from the Prominence of the gentlemen on
trial. A bitter legal contest is being waged
by the opposing counsel, and the result is
uncertain. O. T. Caldwell and ]. NJ. Jack
son, Esqulres, ar ecounsel for the defendant
Hon. W. L. Ccle, of Washington, D. c.,
is here as witness in ;he above cause;
also DIR. Lewis, of Weston.
The Grand Jury are still in session, but
have not made any indictments public.
Capt. James MeheD, Chief of Police, is
in receipt of information from Covington,
KY, of the firding of the dead body Of a
fine looking, handsomely dressed woman
on the railroad track. She is said TO be
from here and the information indicates
deliberate suicide.
Surveys at six different sites for the
Little Kanawba bridge at this point have
been made, and the cost is estimated at
from SIS, 900 to $75, 600 in round num-
bers. A strong effort is being
made by the Commissioners
to get permission from the Secretary of
War to build a draw bridge Mt Allery, low
height, and TO this end Judge John j.
Jackson, Of the United States District
Court, spent some time in Washington
laboring with the Secretary of War. The
Merchants and MAJ ufscturers' Associs-
tiop, all the river men, and a large major,
iiy of other citizens are decidedly opposed
to a draw bridge. Its interference with
navigation can scarcely be estimated, and
the river men and Merchants Association
will fight it bitterly.
The railIoad up the Guandotte river re-
ported last night is more than likely to be
built, but the party bebird it will be
composed of Ohio River railroad stock
holders, though separate organization.
