MALIETOA SHALL BE KING,

Germany Accedes to American Demands.
BERLIN, May 21.-From certain indi-
cations at the rooms of the American
delegates, as well as at the quarters OF
the English commissioners and at the
German Foreign Office, it was evident
TO day IL at there had been some serious
hitch in the negotiations of the Samoan
Commission. Mr.. Phelps, who is known
as ''the peacemaker," both in the con
ference and in the working committee,
was in evident trouble. First he was in
terviewing an English commissioner in
his own rooms, then he was hurrying off
to the Foreign Office, where he remained
for some time closeted with the German
representatives, and then repeating the
process. When asked as to the situation
Commissioners Phelps. Kasson and Bates
said that there was no great change, and
that everything was progressing salts
factorily.
Both the German and English commits.
sioners refused to talk on the subject
but it was learned from other sources
that the United States government had
instructed its commissioners to insist
upon the return of Malietoa as king. A
message was said to have been received
from Secretary Blaine within the past
thirty-six hours, directing the commits
sioners to insist upon the res toration of
the status quo, and saying that Germany
deposed Malietoa as king and must re
turn him as king. They might higgle
about indemnity or a unit or dual or
tripartite government if they pleased.
but Malietoa, must be king. While the
Germans have come TO agree with all the
uuher views OF the American commits
sioners, they were reluctant to accept
this condition, and pointed to the fact
that Malietoa was pardoned by the Ger
man Emperor at the beginning of the
conference. This, they claimed, should
satisfy America.
The American commissioners last night
were quiet and coDciliatory in their utter
ances concerning the situation, but ex-
pressed determination to remain firm.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press was informed this evening that
Germany had consented to restore King
Malietoa. This action was taken finally
after prolonged and persistent efforts on
the part of the American commissioners
But now comes another hitch in the me-
gotiations. This fresh difficulty grows
out of the claim for indemnity made by
Germany. The American section of the
conference holds that If any indemnity is
paid it must be a merely nominal sum
Germany, on the contrary, maintains that
III the conflicts between the German
forces and the Samoans, the latter were
Invariably the aggressors. Besides, the
native partlsans of King Malietoa were
guilty of the barbarous practices OF be-
heading German sailors, as well as in
hicting upon the wounded particular
cruelties. These acts, Germany insists.
should entail upon Samoa the payment OF
special indemnity. Earnest efforts are
making in committee to settle the dis
pute, but the matter is very likely to re

Grover Cleveland, to MIR. Henry T.. Per-
rIne.
JACKSON, Mich, May 2O.-A very per
ceptible tiutter OF exciteme 1t ran through
this civ yesterday when it became known
early III the afternoon that Mrs. Emma
G. Folsom, mother of Mrs. Grover Cleve
land. was about to wed Henry E. Perrine
merchant, of Buffalo, n. Y; and that
Mrs. Cleveland would be present at the
ceremony.
Hardly had the rumor found credence
before corr0borating testimony came in
the person of Mrs. Cleveland herself, who
arrived on the fast express at $50, and
WAS driven to The residence of her aunt,
Mrs. John W. Cadman, on Francis street
where the ceremony was to take place.
Extraordinary precautions had been taken
To keep the affair quiet, and reporters
were unable to procure more than the
simplest details. Mrs. Folsom arrived
here on the Sth, to be with her relatives
and to escape the publicity which might
attach at the East to an event of such
interest, and, so cleverly had the matter
been planned and managed, that very few
were cOguizant of it until the last mo
ment.
The wedding was solemnized at nine
O'Clock this evening. Rev. r. B. Balloon

A Philadelphia Merchant Loses His Mind
With His Money,
PHILADELPHIA. May 21.-George W.
Beck, a shipping merchant, well-known
in Baltimore and the South, and once an
enormously wealthy man, has been placed
in st. Joseph's Hospital, victim OF in
sanity. He has lost considerable money
in business lately, and his troubles af,
fected his mind. He was possessed with
a horror of poverty, and recently began
to imagine that he had lost all his money.
Mr.. Beck is about fifty years of age and
a widower. Up to about six weeks ago
he lived IN GO ID style with his son and
two daughters in a large, old fashioned
residence at No. 315 Spruce street. He
was generally believed to oe the possessor
of considerable money, and his business
was regarded as tiourishing. He was not
in very good health, however, and fire.
auent spells of sickness forced him to
neglect his business somewhat. Several
persons who had business at Mr.. Beck IS
office noticed his eccentric conduct. He
was perfectly rational at times, but would
suddenly lose his senses and begin to talk
of his poverty. He had violet periods of
insanity, which came with increasing
frequency. In the last few days he
showed little improvement, but yester-
day he had bad time OF it, aud his ulti.
mate recovery is considered almost hope

Cronin was Murnered

CHICAGO, May 22.-The dead body OF
DR.. z. ii. Cronin, who strangely disap
peared from his home recently, was found
This evening, some distance north Of the
city, in a sewer on Evanston avenue. A
bloody towel was wrapped about the
head. The rest of the body was stark
naked. A Catholic emblem, which the
Doctor always wore next his skin sus
pended about his neck, was untouched.
On the dead mans head were a dozen
deep cuts, which had severed the scalp
and indented the skull. It. is the opinion
of TIL" police that Crouin was foully muir
dered.

Joshua f. Ross, "a well-known lawyer and
republican politician, who was on bail
awaiting Il second trial on the charge OF
killing his uncle Geo. Hughes, shot him
self about i've o'clock this afternoon and
is now dying. He went up to Nil. A. G.
Rigney's room, in the hotel in this place,
aud woke Rigney up by shaking him.
Rigney was lying on the bed, with coat
and vest off. He had pistol in his right
hip pocket. Ross took hold of the weap-
on and Rigney told HIM to let go. Ross
said, "You will let me have it," Ross
then drew and cooked the pistol and
pointed it at Rigney, saying. "Oid friend,
who shall go first, you or l?'' Rlgney
thought 1t all a joke, and told him TO kill
either he chose. Rigney lit cigarette
while they talked, and Ross sat in a chair
near the head of the bed. Ross then put
the pistol to his own head and fired. r g
ney still thought that Ross had shot over
his head, though he fell forward and his
head rested on the side of the bed, and
he breathed heavily. Rigney then sad:
you can't scare me, Josh; get up and
let us take drink Ross soon fell to
the floor Rigney then saw the blood on
the bedclothing and ran down for assis-
tance, having first tried to hit Ross mp
DR.. VIM. F. Jones was in the village and
was in the hotel Within two minutes alter
the shooting. He at once pronourc the
wound fatal. The hair was singed by the
discharge of the pistol and the brain
oozed from the wound. The pistol is a
3S-calibre. Few people heard the report
of the pistol, and none knew anything
was the matter until Rigney told what
had happened. Ross is said to have been
drinking heavily for some days. He was
up late last night and was very melan
choly. Today he seemed in good spirits.
This afternoon be aid his wife Were in
the street together. They talked ear
nestly as they walked towards their home.
When within 125 yards of the house they
separated. Ross held her hand and kissed
her. He then went to the hotel and shot

uncle, George Hughes, on the 10Th of
February last, assigning as reason that

his wife. He was tried at the April term
of the County Court of Gloucester, the
result being a verdict of manslaughter,
which was set aside for informality, and
Ross was released on 50, 800 bail by Cir
cult Judge Geffries to await a second

i the address relates to matters con-
frning the country at large, while that

Cigarette smoking by boys is one of
the evils of the day and is undoubtedly
harming physically and mentally the
youth OF the land. 1t is injurious in
many ways and advantageous in no
respect. Several State legislatures in
Guiding those OF New Jersey and Mich
igan have bills under consideration for
the prohibition of the sale of cigarettes
to minors and large amount of testi-
mony favorable to such action has been
presented to them. The testimony OF
three hundred teachers of boys in
Michigan has been taken on the sub
ject and the facts gwen are alarming.
Many physicians tell of the evil effects
OF the habit on the constitution aud
health of those who indulge IN it. They
state that it promotes nervous affections,
interferes with digestion, induces in
somnia, leads to muscular debil
ity, Causes diseases of the mouth and
eyes and bunts the mental powers. II
is offensive to many, leaves Its faint
upon the garments and is apt TO create
a liking for liquor. In Maryland law
was enacted by recent legislature
making the sale Of tobacco in any form
to boys under fourteen years OF age a
misdemeanor punishable by consider
able fine. This law IN our opinion IS
not strictly enforced. Some argue that
it is impossible to keep young boys
from obtaining cigarettes, as the older
ones who have passed the age of four
teen can purchase them for the younger
boys. 1t would have been well had the
act named sixteen instead of fourteen
years as the earliest age at which boy
can lawfully obtain the weed.
