AMlcABLY SETTLED.
An Agreement Reached That Simplines
the Samoan Troubles.

An Agreement Reached That Simplillcs
the Samoan Troubles.
WASHINGTON, April l1.-There was no
effort made at the state department to
deny or even to evade an answer con.
cerning the report that an agreement
had been entered into by the United
States and Germany respecting the
presence of war vessels in Samoan waters
After consultation with his father and
with the German minister, Count Arco,
who was at the state department in the
morning, Mr.. Walker Blaine stated that
an amicablc understanding between the
German and American governments had
been entered into.
"England," said Mr.. Blaine, will un-
doubtedly follow the example of the
other two nations. The three treaty
powers will each keep but one vessel at
Samoa until the termination of the con-
ference at Berlin. The Alert, the small
American gunboat now at Honolulu,
will represent our government at Apia,
while the Sophie, the German corvette,
recently ordered to Samoa, will repre-
sent Germany. 1t is probable that the
Calliope, the British gunboat which left
Apia for Sydney during the great hurri-
cane il. Apia harbor, will represent Great
Britain there"
Mr.. Walker Blaine had a conference
with Secretary Tracey and Commodore
Walker, chief of the bureau of naviga-
ton, this morning, concerning the
Samoan agreement, and as a result of it
cable dispatch was sent to the COM
mander of the Richmond, now OFT the
coast Of Brazil, countermanding her or
ders to so to Samoa. 1t is stated off
cially at the navy department that the
U. S. S. Adams will not be sent to
Samoa.

The Increase in Price to 3l.26 per Acre
Has Wrought the Change su the Red
Mans Heart.
BISMARCK, N. D., April S.-The report
that the commission would soon be ap-
pointed by the president to confer with
the Indians for the opening of the great
Sioux reservation is received with much
interest among the Indians ut Standing
Rock, who are headed by Sitting Bull,
Gall, John Grass and the other notorious
chiefs. The Indians are pleased with
the action of the government in increas-
ing the price to be paid them from so
cents to $1.25 per acre, and many of
them have already expressed their will
ingness to accept the terms of the treaty.
Even Sitting Bull and Gall. who we're so
bitterly opposed to the treaty submitted
last year. have given utterance to
friendly expressions. and there is little
doubt of success. A recent arrival from
the Standing Rock agency says he is
positive that Sitting Bull and Gall will
accept the treaty, but that the commits
sion should be 80 selected that it will
know how to deal with the Reds, which
was not the case with the commission of
a year ago thft was controlled by Capt.
Pratt.

Soutllward lIo!

For many years past. the attention
of people in the older and eastern
states who were looking for cheaper
lands and more room, has been SO per-
sistently directed to the west and
northwest. that it has been forgotten
THAT several of the southern states
have large areas of fine lands still un-
occupied. Tennessee. Arkansas, I.ol-
isiana and Texas are states which
hold out many inducements to the i'm
migrant, among which are short and
mild winters. fertile soil. numerous
streams, and abundant supplies of
timber. The south is taking great
Strides forward in material progress.

BosToN, April S.-The negotiations
between the Northern Pacific and the
Wisconsin Central have finally material.
lied and this plan will probably be
adopted: The Wisconsin Central will
receive 50 per cent. of its gross earnings.
anything saved by the operation for less
than 90 per cent to so to the Northern
Pacific and any excess of operating cost
over 65 per cent. to be paid by the North
ern Pacific. 1t has cost 81 per cent. of
gross earnings to operate the road Of
late months, and President Oa1es, of
the Northern Pacific is confident that
this percentage can be reduced to 60.
The Northern Pacific expects to send
business aggregating $2,OOO,O0O gross
per annum over the Wisconsin Central,
when the arrangement is perfected and
i'll working order. The Northern Pacific
will refuse all other interchange traffic
between st. Paul and Chicago. The
officials of the two roads here say that
this will give them all the advantages of
a consolidation without even a lease

CANADIAN FINANCES.

Tho Provincial Treasury Absolutely
Empty-Jesuits May Whistle for Their
Cash.
New YORK, April "a Tribune spe-
clal from Ottawa, Ont, says the provin.
cial treasury of Quebec is absolutely
empty, and there is no money with
which to pay the 100000 provided for
in the "Jesuits estate act" In order 10
raise the money a public loan would be
necessary. To negotiate such a loan
would require an set of the legislature,
and the act must be signed by the lieu
tenant governor of the province. who
also has the power of veto. 1t can be
stated, The Tribune correspondent says,
that the elientsnaut. governor has made
up his, mind .foo veto such bill i. it
should be presented to him. so that there
seems to be no way open at present for
the Jesuits to secure the money.

CONDEMNS VIOLENCE.

President E"ynton Says the Settlers
Union Countenances Only Legal Ac-
tion.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, April GA Fort
Dodge special says: The present acts of
violence being perpetrated by the river
land settlers are not countenanced by
the settlers union, according to its pres
idcnt, Mr.. Boynton. He says that the
object of the union is to obtain the set
tiers rights in legal manner, but that
it is not responsible for any individual
acts of aggression. He thinks the mat
ter will be decided in favor of the set
tiers By the next session of congress, and
the only desire of the settlers is to await
this final action. The method of the
land owners in forcing matters now is
strongly denounced, and no further evic-
tions are being attempted at present.

says, desire to discourage the settlers,
but he thinks the only hope of relief for
them lies in legislation.

the architectural monuments of the city.
The building is not designed after any of
the classic styles of architecture, but
after what is known as the modern
Romanesque. With its soaring tower,
its mansard roofs and ornamen-
tai cornices the structure is at
once thing of beauty and model of
convenience. 1t is asserted with every
confidence that the building is unsur-
passed for magniticence of outline and
elegance of design in the whole North
west. The tower stands $50 feet high
and the main cornice 96 feet. The en-
tire length of the building is 24O feet and
the extreme breadth los feet. A chime
of five bells have been hung in the tower
and the clock is expected to arrive in a
few days. The inside finish of the
