THE SAMOAN CONFERENCE. =
Herbert Bismarck Lays Down a
Basis OF Discussion.

BERLIN, April 2O.-Count Herbert
Bismarck has prepared statement for
the Samoan conference as a basis for
discussion. 1t has been submitted to
and approved by Sir Edward Malet. the
British ambassador, who was in all
probability consulted while it was being
drafted. If the American commissions
ers accept the statement the conference
ought not to last more than a week.
Germ any comedies the principle of alb
sofute non-interference in Samoa. and
the natives are to be left free to choose
as their ruler either MalietOa. TamaSese
or Mataafa. No claims for compGnsa-
ton for German subjects are men,
toned in the statement, and practically
the work of the conference is limited to
defining explicitly the powers of con-
suls in regulating trade and shipping,
the boundaries of and rights over PagO-
Pago and other victualing stations, and
the formation of tribunal for the pro-
lection and trial of foreigners.

HARDLY HosP1TABLE.
Canadian Opinion of United
States Defauiters.

OTTAWA, Ont, April 20.-In the COM
mons to-day, on Sir John Thompson
moving TO transfer Mr.. Weldon's bill to
extend the extradition act to govern
ment orders, Mr.. Laurier suggested that
as the details of the measure would create
considerable discussion. it be not
passed at this late stage of the session.
Sir John Macdonald said there was
great moral impatience on the part of
the people of Canada to put an end to the
influx of rascality from the United
States. Cynics might say we had
enough raScality of our own,
but it was well to tell the
world that we don't want either
these people or their ill-gotten gains.
He thought the bill was unobjeetiOnable
in principle and that it would meet
with little opposition; but if its details
were likely to lead to protracted de-
bate. il would then remain for the
house to say what disposition should
be made of it. Sir John Macdonald
pointed out that both England and
Canada were anxious to enlarge the list
OF eXtradltable otfenSeS, and that what
ever delay had been in this direction
was due to the action of the American
authorities. He thought this bill could
only take effect by proclamation,
but held that by passing it
great moral object would be gained.
as Canada would thereby inform
England and the United States that she
was anxious to have the extradition
treaty enlarged. 1t would have a bene-
fetal effect by informing United States
defanlters that Canada would not har-
Dor them an hour if she could prevent
it. He thought that the details of the
measure could be made acceptable to
the house by an informal discussion
rather than by set debate. The mo-
ton was passed.

No Deaths VIII Result From the
Fight With Officers.

right with OTuCerS.
3! PURCELL, l. T., April 20.-The ap-
pretended trouble from the wOunding
and arrest of the boomers has been
by the release of the captured
men. The Texans changed the course
oftheir march. and fearing collision with
United States troops, have encamped
about five miles from the Oklahoma
border. The two men supposed to be
m0rtally wounded yesterday now ap-
pear to be In fair way to recover, and
unless through some unforeseen acct
dent, there will be no deaths result
ing from the battle. The Texans at
first SWOre revenge, but have pru-
identity concluded to first take pos
session of their lands, and if they secure
their quarter sections they will be salts
fed to let the trouble crop. The rush
. from the north into Oklahoma still con-
tinues, and VIII do so until after Thurs
of march will be somewhat weaker.
The line for sixty miles south
of Oklahoma is practically UNI
broken. Like water in a pipe, the
wagons empty out at one end and I'LL in
at the other, always full. And so it is
from the south; all day long the white
topped wagons pass through Purcell,
which is only across the river from the
Mecca of these pilgrims. The railroad
is taxed TO its utmost, and the Santa Fe
has at last solved the problem of run
ming two trains north on sin
gle track against two run
ming south. With twenty or more
trains day on this new road not a sin
gle accident has occurred, the only
mishap being the breaking of the water
works yesterday morning, which has
caused a scarcity of water. The tele-
graph operators handling all these
trains are constantly at work day and
night. That their work has been well
done the record of no accidents will
bear witness. Business here is simply
wonderful

a ROBINSON CRUsoE STORY.
Experiences of the Bark Wander
inc Minstrel in the South Seas.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2O.-The
British bark Wandering Minstrel, which
sailed from Honolulu Dec. 10, 1887, has
been heard from. The Wandering
Minstrel arrived at Midway island Jan.
9, 1883, remaining at -nchOr in Welles
harbor until Feb. 3,then she was driven
ashore by a furious storm and was
wrecked. The crew escaped. They
found man named JorgensOn on the
island. who was wrecked in the
schooner Gen. Sigel. and left on the
island by shipmates because he was
suspected of foul play in the death of
two of the Sigel's- crew Oct. Is.
Mate John Cameron. a Chinese boy and
JorgensOn left for Honolulu III an open
boat. A seaman died on the island. and
one during the passage to Honolulu
March II, 1889. The schooner Norma
arrived at Midway island. and conveyed
the balance of the crew to Homo
lulu. During the fourteen months So
jOurn on the island the castaways sub
sisted on sea birds and fish, and were
almost starved when taken off. Cap
tain Walker, of the Wandering Minstrel,
decided several times to shoot the man
Jorgenson. in self protection, but was
persuaded not to by his wife. A naval
court of inquiry was held at Honolulu,
and Captain Walker was acquitted of
all blame.

LONDON, April 2O.-Capt BIacklen.
OF the British steamer Minnesota, at
Tilbury-on-the-Tham from Balti-
more, reports that on the 4th inst,
in latitude 45 is north; longitude 81 so
west, he passed lifeboat painted
white, with the words '.Danmark, CO.

stern. The sea was rough at the time.
In the boat was one oar, three rOwlocks
in position for use and one boat-hook
A tarpaulin laid along the bottom of the
boat. which was half full Of water. The
painter was coiled in the head sheets.
Pieces OF cigar boxes were also seen in
the boat. There was every appearance
that the people who had been aboard
had been taken Off.
INSPIRES HOPE.
NEW YORK. April GO. Hegermann.
a representative of Fuuch. Edge & Co.,
said this morning that the fact that the
Minnesota had picked up one of the
Danmark's boats bore out the surmise
that the passengers who were on the
ill-fated steamer have been res
would the boat be in its
natural position? If they had persisted
their dead bodies would have remained
in the boat. and it is not at all probable
that they would jump overheard so
long as the boat continued to float. The
broken cigar boxes would indicate that
the occupants of the boat had
placed their valuableS in them
when they were leaving the ship.
and when they were being rescued.
they broke up the boxes in their hurry.
If the passengers have been rescued
and have been brought to the Azores
islands, we ought to hear from them by
the end of the week. If | can remem-
Der right, vessels leave the Azores
for Lisbon about the 18th and
goth OF each month. The rescued
passengers would not reach the islands
in time to be sent to Lisbon by the yes
sci which sails about the 18th, but they
would probably he taken there by the
vessel sailing on the Goth, which is to-
day. 1t takes four or five days for a
vessel to reach Lisbon. so we shall not
hear anything of them until the end of
that time. The passengers may also
have been picked up by a sailing vessel,
which may land them at some port that
would take long time to reach. If
they are lost. l will stick to the belief
that they were first rescued from the
Danmark and that the ship rescuing
them had afterwards perished-a rather
improbable thing to laDDeQ"

Brewers and Wholesalers.
LANSING, Mich, April 20. The
house, after two days of consideration,
has passed the liquor tax bill. which re-
quires retailers to pay 5000 year; dis
tillers, $1,000: brewers. 1900; wholesale
liquor dealers, $500; wholesale beer and
wine dealers $500; and prevents drug
gists selling liquor, except upon written
application, which must be recorded in
a public book. Under no circumstances
can they sell by the drink or mix liquor
with soda water or any other beverage
to be drank on the premises. The bill
passed by the narrow margin of three
votes. 1t could not be given immediate
effect, lacking the necessary two-thirds
vote, and consequently the liquor SELF
ing business will be governed this year
