WASHINGTON, February 11.-SecTe'sry
Whitney refused to make any comments
on Mr.. Sswall's statement that Admiral
Kimberly's protest against German en-
croachmelts in Samoa, under his present
instructions from Secretary BsyaId, would
be fruitless.
THAT matter does not property come
uuder my department, said the Secretary,
"and while / am always ready TO answer
any question regarding the affairs over
whicn | have authority, have always re-
Trained from saying anything in an inter-
view about these that come under the
jurisdiction of another department"
"The Secretary then, in answer to in
quiries, said mo steps a-e at present
being taken TO further increase the naval
force at Samoa, beyond the three vessels
already there ond on their way-the
Trenton, Vandslis and Nipsic. The Mo-
hican, which left San Francieco Thursday,
is at present under orders at Panama,
where she will exchange part her officers
and crew. Whether she will then 90 to
Samoa or not will depend on ciTcum-
Stances"
"Has any action been taken IN regard to
contracting for a coal supply for PagO Pa
go?" was asked.
Not yet. The Department has bad
propositions from three or four companies,
but more of them have yet been accepted,
and, az there ia nothing 10 be lost by q
short delay, we may have some more ad-
vantageous offers"
Col. John S. Mosby is mentioned az a

CHARLESTON, February 1.-Two more
ballots have bser added TO the long list Of
failures TO elect an L. S. Senator. If any

that result Immediately than ever before.
FIVE Democrats did not vote for MT Ken.
nv. on sl these, with the single sxcep-
ton of Mr. Dorr, it may be said, as it has
been go often, they are strict party men
and their votes will be found ready to help

Mr. NanPslt who hsd not intended to

D. determination this morning. The sit
raticn IS such, however, that ne and ssv-
srsl other gentlemen msy take different

STABBED WHILE ASLEEP.
A Maniac Kills Catholic Priest at
Memphis.

A Maniac Kills q Catholic Priest at
Memphis.
MEMPHIS, TENN, February IA ter
rible tragedy was enacted early this morn
Ing which resulted in the killing of Father
Ashheld, Catholic priest connected with
ST. Peters Cathedral in this city.
Several months ago A. Reeves, a youDg
man well known about town, was confined
in Jail on account of mental troubles.
Father Ashfeld visited him in Jail, and was
instrumental in having him released after
a short confinement. A ptrong friendship
grew up between them, and Reeves was a
frequent caller at the priests house, which
adioins the Cathedral on Adams street.
This morning, at O'Clock, Reeves rang
the bel of the house, and when the door
was opened he pushed the porter inside
and went direct to Father Ashfield's room.
The porter thought him drunk, and ran to
the station house, which is only square
distant. for a police officer. When the two
returned they found Reeves sitting on the
floor caressiDg the head OF the priest, who
was dead. 1t was evident that Reeves had
stabbed him while asleep, as the bed was
covered with blood. Three wounds, all
lust over the heart, we're found, any one of
which would have heen fatal. The
weopon used was on ordinary pocket
knife.
When asked why he committed the
deed. Reeves replied: God told me 10
do it At the station house, he said;
''He was my best friend, and as l was
going away wanted him TO Join me. "
The priest was about fifty years old and
came TO Memphis two years ago.
