 The German Siovernment May Not Re- eeive Hr. Bates as Samoan Commits
 sIoner-The Late Rear Admiral Thomas HI. Paterson-A Plea for the
 CoIored People Before the Interstate Commission.
 WASHINGTON, April 1O.-A gentleman who
 has much to do with the diplomatic corps
 disagrees entirely with Mir. Kasson as to the
 reception which the German government
 will accord MT. Bates as Samoan commis-
 sioner. This gentleman expresses the optn-
 ion that there are very grave doubts whether the German government will receive Mr.
 Bates, on account of his article on Samoa in the Century,.
 There is some reason to believe, for that
 matter, that the representative here of the German government has delicately suggested in such 8 manner that the State department has had no notice, that it is doubtful whether Mr. Bates will be received at Berlin. The orders for the Richmond to proceed from the mouth of the Laplatte river, South America, to Samoa, have been countermand- ed and the work on the Adams, now at Mare Island and which was also to have gone to Samoa, will not be pushed with such expedi- tion.
 Rear Admiral Thomas H. Patterson, re. tired, who died in this city last night, was born in 1920 in New Orleans, Ls., where his father, who was a naval officer, was station ed. He entered the navy as midshipman in 1886, and at the breaking out of the war had attained the rank of lieutenant. He was present at the siege of Yorktown and opened the way up the Pampunkey river in support mander in 1862 and from that time until 1865 was engaged in blockade duty of Whining ton, N. c. He became captain in 1866, commodore in 1871. He commanded the Washington navy yard and in 1876 was pres ident of the naval board of examination. In 1878 he became rear admiral, his last sea ! duty being to command the Asiatio squadron ! in 1880. He was retired in 1885, Admiral Patterson was the brother of the wife of Ad. ! miral Porter.
 The interstate commerce commission to \ day heard the case of William H. Heard vs ! the Georgia railroad company. The peti tioner claims that in travelling over the de- fendant's road from Augusta to Atlanta he was compelled to accept second-class | accommodations in a compartment car, al- though he had purchased ticket allowing \ him hrst-class passage. Complainant ir | his petition prays that the whole oars be \ furnished for the use of colored people ' nr,d dafa ayt3 ha fur piob \ ed to white people, or that the smokers cal \ be located in some portion of the tarin other ! than in the compartment ear, which colored | travellers are required to occupy. After ! counsel for plaintiff and defendant had pre- | sented their arguments the commission took | the case under advisement.

I MILWAUKEE, April 10-A fire in the glaz \ ing rooms of the Sanger & Rockwell sash | aud door factory on the corner of Park street and Sixth avenue tonight almost disabled Milwaukee's entire fire department. The \ smoke was so dense that two-thirds of the
 members of the department were dis ! abled. Chief Foley was twice carried out of the building unconscious. The side walks near the building were almost covered I with disabled fremeD, who were being resus- itated by physicians and nursed by families living in the neighborhood.

A Heinous Attempt te Wreck Train. CLEVELAND, April 10.-A special from Canton, O., says that second attempt was made last night at Louisville, O., to wreck the vestibule train on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago road. Ties were strap ped to the track. An employe of the road discovered the Instructions just before the train was due. He was unable to remove the ties and started earst to stop the train. He had no signal, but finding newspaper in his pocket ignitsd it, and waving it over his head brought the train to standstill. The train ! struck the obstruction, but not with sufficient force to cause it to jump the track. The at tempt made last week at the same point was | by inserting fish-plates in the switch.
