The Samoan conference.

A dispatch from Boston says: 1.-THE men,
bers OF the Commission to consider the CUES
ton concerning Samoa have seen Prince
Bismarck and Count Herbert Bismarck.
The former briefly expressed his confidence
that the conference would be harmonious
The Foreign Office appears to be assured Of
an early termination of the negotiations.
The Commission, however, expects that the
sttines will be protracted for several months,
especially if the charges against Klein, in.
volving claims against the Washington Gov
eminent, are brought mp. Prince Bismarck
certainly intends to place the evidence OF
Herren, Brandts ana Knappe and others
before the conference, but he has abandoned
the claims for Indemnity arising from Klein e
action. The amount Of the indemnity is not
likely TO give'rise to any disagreement, be-
ing merely question az TO the accuracy OF
the claims presented. 1t is surmised that
the indemnity will take the form of extend
ed land concessions supervised by a Land
Court composed Of representatives from
Samoa and Germany, England and the
United States.
Prince Bismarck was especially cordial to
Mr.. Batcs, who explained that his article on
Samoa in the Century magazine was written
long before he wss nominated delegate to
the conference, and that after his nomina.
tion he tried to withdraw the article but failed
to do so, as thousands OF copies had been
printed. Prince Bismarck showed perfect
familiarity with the Samoan question. He
expressed the hope that the conference
would be brief. He frequently referred to
the diplomatic and parliamentary expert.
ence Of Messrs. Kasson and Phelps.
The fret sitting WAS held at $50 p. IN. on
at the Foreign Office 1t was en-.
trely informal. Count Herbert, after greet
ing the American delegates, held an official
to all the Commissioners. A pro-
gramme has been arranged for the opening
OF the conference TO day.
Pciuce Bismarck will remain in Berlin
until the conference decisions assume def
mite form.

of the charge of desertion against him that

the officer who says he captured the Gener-

of either of the others. though they also
were written by self asserted parties to the
alleged capture. Strange as it may seem,
ali these northern accounts agree that the

he said the merchants had not commenced

Mr.. GoDKIN says: "The inevitable iLflu-
ence of the employer on the laborer, of the
creditor on the debtor, of the rich on the
poor, of the humane and charitable on the
friendess and afflicted, is an agency more or
le s powerful in politics in all countries"
This is PROFESSIONALLY true of all the. white
races, but tho experience of quarter of a
century of the South shows that it is not
true OF the negro for no matter how kind
the white employer and creditor may be to
his negro laborsr and debtor, the latter, as

Mr. GoDKIN of the New York Post, in an
article 10 the Forum for May advising the
North against any attempted interference
with elections in the South, says the whole
history OF the Anglo Saxon race warrants the
beief that if a New Yorker or New Eng
lander were subjected to the dangers that
now environ the people of the South, "he
would not sacrifice either himself or his
property or the social organization in which
he was born and lived to his reverence either
tor the ballot or for the acts of the legsla
ture lie would see fret to the security OF
those things for which government ia insti
tuted, and postpone the care of the Consti
tuition TO more convenient season." Mr..
Godkin is one of the few northern men who,
when talking on the Southern Question, +"
know something about what they are talking
The sooner a majority of the others acquire
his information the better it will be for the
whole country.
