Testimony From a Consul General.

Washington dispatch. Consul Gen
eral Sewall, Of Samoa, appeared before
the senate committee ON foreign rela-
tons to-day. General Sewall was eI-
amined in secret at great length. He
said hat the shedding of blood since he
left Samoa had radically changed the
situation there, and that if it were not
intended to yield to Germany entire
control of their lands, some decided ac-
ton would have to be taken by the pow
ers. He presented to the committee a
copy of the Samoan Times newspaper,
published at Apia, containing accounts
of an unprovoked and unexpected at
tack by a German wal ship upon the
natives, and a meeting by the consuls
of other nations denouncIng the act,
and also misleading and unfair state
ments by a German consul. Sewall
spoke of the studied and systematic eff
forts of the Germans in sending out
news from Berlin concerning Samoa to
give the impression that the American
was the aggressor in every case of
trouble. German impression, he is
further said to have represented, as en-
tirely responsible for any apparent dl-
vision of natives into hostile factions.
He described Tamasa's followers as a
comparative handful, who were threat
ened by an unpleasant dilemma. If they
failed to keep mp the agitation against
the native government they feared
death at the hands of the German allies;
if they escaped, then the same fate
awaited them at the hands of the ma
tives, who considered them traitors to
Samoa.

mn end to the life of E. L. Harper, ex-
president of the late Fidelity bank of

come to ending the earthly career of the

NiagaraF Falls 6Ont.9 special: Alarge
mass of rock fell from the precipice OF
the horse shoe or Canadian falls Friday,
and Tuesday night and yesterday
smaller pieces broke away. The noise
made by the falling rock alarmed the
residents in the vicinity on the Canadian
side. The massive stone building known
as Table Rock house, was Jared to such
open and the occupants, who had re-
tired, jumped out of bed greatly ex-
cited by the noise and the vibration of
the building, thinking it wat q shock of
earthquake. The effect of these dis
placements on the contour of the falls is
quite marked, the change being to form
an angle to the original horse shoe.

Indianapolis dispatch: Among visitors
to the Harrison residence were Judge r.
l.. Berkshire, of West Virginia; Colonel
H. G. Miner, of Louisiana, and Colonel
Henry NJ. Cooper, Judge John A. Will
liams and Judge La Fayette Gregg, Of
Arkansas. Judge Berkshire enjoys the
distinction of having named the repub-
lican ticket nearly sixty days prior to
the Chicago convention. He was q del
egate at largo from West Virginia and
supported General Harrison throughout.
He says his visit is largely social, but
that he talked over the political situa-
ton i'll West Virginia with the president
elect. The Judge repudiates certain al
legged interviews published in outside
papers this morning, wherein it Is made
to appear that he came here as the bear
er of letters from General Golf, or Of
letters recommending and indorsing the
Hon. Stephen b. Elkins for a cabinet
place. He says General Golf told him
recently that he should be governor and
did not care to be in the cabinet. AS
for Elkins, he denies he is here pressing
bis name, but says that should President
Harrison put Elkins in his cabinet, it
would undoubtedly crafty the republi-
cans Of West Virginia, but it was enron
eous to say there was any effort being
made for Elkins. While Judge Berk-
shire would personally like to see Mr.
Elkins in the cabinet, he occupies ths
unique position of being unfavorably
disposed toward Mr.. Blaine for a cabi-
net place.
