Il RpRt1y. Jan. 24.-The North German
III Gazette Prince Bismarck's organ denies
III the existence of any treaty precluding any
Il Fnro1ean power from acquiring or seeking
FL 70 acouire ascendency in Samoa. The
nj Gazette also denies that England and the
# limited States are agreed that the proceed
Nj n-sof the German agent in Samoa are
# contrary to the stipulations of the treaties
81 c,ncerning Samoa, and are opposed to
3 dipIomatic etiquette, and that those powers
have officially notified the German
government accordingly. The treaties
III between Samoa, Germany England and
N the United States, the Gazette further says,
81 proyjied that Samoa shall concede to each
treaty power equal rights with any other
power but no treaty regarding neutrality
MI or indeaenIeuco exists between the United
States aud Germany.
A PACIFIC VIEW.
Tie Cologne Gazette declares that there
I'll i,Da occasion to fear that the excellent re-
III l4tons between Germany and the United
States are undergoing any radical change.
"a 1t says:
Comparatively little Importance is to be at
tached TO the last acts of the American govern
Ia ment about to quit office. Under the presidency
E Of Gel, Harrison, complete clearance OF
hi President Ceveland's official staff becomes un-
nj ayodahle. President Cleveland's most recent
4 steps therefore have lost their Importance,
Ri an1his actions are in no way binding upon Gen.
Z Harrison. From itellig1nce received here
M it is evident that the American government
treats tie Samoan question in spirit hostile to
MI Germany, and on the basis OF incorrect SuSpi-
cio1S- It is incorrect to speak of violations by
& Germany Of actual agreements be-
tween the treaty powers, as no
81 treaty was ever concluded between
Germany. Great Britain and America in regard
to Samoa while, on the other hand, such a
treaty does exist between Germany and Eng
land. The excitement in America is, there
M fore incomprehensible. Secretary Bayard has
E declared that he does not know whether Mr..
b Klein is IN American subject, but nevertheless
he IS responsible for Mr.. Klens misdeeds
E Pfiuce Bismarck Unexpectedly appeared
4 at the Reichstag to-day he Immediately
4 retired to his private room where he held
conference on the Colonial bill with the
clerical and national Liberal leaders.
~ The North German Gazette tonight
says tha' the English cabinet also disclaims
coogeration with the Washington govern
n ment regarding Samoa. Prince Bismarck
yalniy tried to persuade Bennigsen and
Z Fraakenstein to allow the East African bill
to be read the second time Friday.
CAUSES CONNECTION IN ENGLAND.
X LoNDoN, Jan. 4-The article in the
E North German Gazette relative to the
H4a.ies regarding Samoa has caused some
T4a5 o. d commotion in official circles
nra by some persons it is regarded as a
deliberate defiance to the Washington gov
eTnment
