Sam.
Copyrighted 1885, by the n Y Associated Press
BERLIN, April D .-Herbert Bismarck
has prepared a statement for the Samoan
conference as a basis Tor discussion. 1t
has been submitted to and approved by
Sir Edward Malet. British ambassador,
who was in all probability consulted while
it was being drafted. If the American
conference ought not to last more than a
week. Germany comedies the principle of
absolute non interference in Samoa, and
tie natives are to be left free to choose as
their ruler either Malietoa, Tamasese or
Mataafa. No claims for compensation
for German subjects are mentioned in the
statement, and practically the work of the
conference is limited TO defining explicitly
the powers of ~consuls in regulating trade
and shipping. the boundaries of any
rights over Pago Pago and other %victual-
ling stations. and the formation OF a tri-
bunal for the protection and trial of for
eigners. The foreign Office regards Bis
marck's censure OF Consul Knappe and
his declaration that Germany does not
desire to meddle with the internal affairs
of Samoa, combined with the proposals to
be placed before the Samoan conference,
furnish ample proof that Germany ear
nestly wishes to conciliate the American
government. At the same time it is re-
GREETED that the American government
ignored diplomatic etiquette In sending
delegates who are personally preiudiced on
the questions to be laid before the confer
ence. Nothing of tins feeling, however,
will be shown toward Bates and Sewall,
who will meet with a cordial greeting
irom Herbert Bismarck on thei. arrival
Thursday.

The lightness of snowfakes is the result of
their surface being so great when compared
with their volume, and is accounted for in
some degree by the large quantity of air amid
their frozen particles. Snowfakes contain
about nine times as many volumes of air, en-
tangled, so to speak, among their crystals, as
they contain water. Very fine and lightly
deposited snow occupies about twenty-four
times as much space as water, and is from
ten to twelve times lighter than an equal
bulk Of that huid.-New York Telegram.

OUTRAGEs ON NEGROES.
The Militia Wanted for the Pro-
lection Of the Blacks.

JACKSON, Miss, January IA letter
will appear in to-morrow's issue of the
Neoc Mississippian from s. d. Chamber
lin, from Shagulak. in which that gentle-
man confirms the report made in these
dispatches last night of outrages on
negro families in Kemper and Noxube
counties, perpetrated by what he terms
"a mob composed of the most depraved
and irresponsible part of our community,
which has been for three weeks robbing
and plundering defenseless women and
children, and driving them from their
homes without check or hindrance."
Crimes, he says, have been COM
mitted that the outside world would
not dream of. Brutes feeling
no restraint of law or honor
have endeavored to see how deep they
could steep themselves in infamy.
People had been driven from their homes
which they had, by years of economy
and industry, paid for, and deprived of
their lands and little supplies. They
had committed no crime unless it is
crime to be born black. Three families
who went to him yesterday for protec-
ton had been notified to leave within
five days, and are now struggling through
mud and rain to save their worldly
stores from the vandals. Mr.. Chamber
lin calls for the repression of these out
RACES, and says the Governor ought to
place these people back on their farms
and protect them there if it takes all the
militia of the State. 1t is stated that
Governor Lowery is about to take active
steps in the matter.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-18

CALIFORNIA at the recent National elec-
ton cast 25O, 900 votes. Los Angeles coun-
ty cast 5000 less than her full registered
vote. This county cast somewhat less than
one tenth of the vote of the State. 1t is
therefore fair to assume that there were
%, 900 registered votes that were not cast.
There were in the State probably 10000
voters who had not been here the year
necessary to entitle them to the exercise
of the elective franchise. If these as
sumptions are correct then there ate
2S5. 900 voters in the State. On the ratio of
five inhabitants TO the voter. this gives the
State population of ,425, 900. Four years
ago the total vote of California was less
than 1877, 900. The increase now going
on is quite as rapid as at any time in the
preceding four years. When the census
of 1890 is taken the Golden State will
turn up with population much in excess
of 100000. And we shall not jostle
one another then, as the State is as large
as dozen of those along the Atlantic
seaboard. California will not be filled
with people, nor her resources fully de-
veloped when she has population of
1000 900.

A Scheme Exploded.

CHICAGO, January 17.-There was q
strange disclosure to-day in the case of
old Mrs. Naomi Fairchild, who claims to
be the widow of the wealthy supposed
bachelor lumberman, Walter S. Babcock,
who was mysteriously murdered last
year at the house of Miss Sarah Dodge,
in Gardner, Ills. Mrs. Fairchild has
been trying, through the Probate Court
here, to secure share of Babcock's
estate, and had almost conclusively
shown that Babcock actually did secretly
sustain marital relations with her, and
has attem pted to prove that when she
was in an apparently dying condition
Babcock was married to her by Rev.
Mr.. Burns, Methodist minister. The
testimony of the clergyman left no doubt
that wedding under the circumstances
described had taken place. To-day Mrs.
Julia Brattan, sister of Mrs. Fairchild,
was on the stand and the fact crept out
that the minister at her marriage was the
same Rev. Mr.. Burns. Cross question
ing soon developed the fact that, in every
detail of time, place and manner, the
Brattan wedding was identical with the
alleged marriage of Mrs. Fairchild to
Col. Babcock. The trial was at once
and the opinion is that Mrs.
Fairchild's case has fallen fiat.

home, that is, in the United States, and
is very steady. La-ge importations of
this fruit are made from France. And
there is also an active demand for
orange trees to make new paintings.
These are being put out along the foot
hills all the way from the Cahuenga to
San Gorgonio pass. Very few of these
are now being planted in the
valleys. 1t is gratifying to see
these various industries being SO
vigorously extended. 1t proves that our
people are getting over the mere craze of
speculation, and are now turning their
attention to the legitimate development
of our resources. There is wide scope
for the exercise of this policy. The ut
most activity in three years will not half
overtake the requirements of the situa-
ton. Many landowners are in an ex-
cellent position to do this. They sold off
portions of their lands at good prices, and
if they are wise this has made them we'll
fore-handed. They can we'll afford to
improve their present holdings. Those
who have large areas OF land will do
we'll to embrace every opportunity to sell
off portions of it at fair prices and on
easy terms. What we need now, above
all things, is to develop the latent re-
sources of this section.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-18

A LOCAL dealer is reported as saying
that be had made 81 900 net profit out of
one carload of butter imported from the
west. A carload of butter probably
weighs 10000 pounds. He made only
two and one-half cents pound, which is
not an extravagant profit. His gain is
the least alarming part of the affair.
That 81 900 stayed here and goes to enrich
some Angelefo. But that butter cost
probably twenty cents a pound, or IS, 900,
in Kansas or Nebraska; and it cost 500
to haul it out here. These sums
all 60 back to enrich some one
at the East, and to that ex-
tent impoverish this section. 1t is
quite time to stop it. Industrious farm
ers can make all this money excepting
the 81. 900 profit to the middlemen, by
producing the butter here. On any land
in this section We can produce better
grass and more of it, than can be pro-
duced on the plains of Kansas or Ne
braska. On our moi st lands we can pro-
duce perennial grasses and pasture the
cattle on them all the year long. On
our best irrigated or damp alfalfa mead
ows we can produce ten times as much
grass as the best lands OF the States re-
ferred to ever produced. Fortunes
await dairy farmers in this section.
