An Indian rode the leading horse; the
other animals were driven in loose, ex.
cept the hind one which Mr.. Baker was
riding. The Indian went round on the
bar all right, but the loose mules and
horses, when near the shore, instead of
following on the bar, plunged directly
across deep, swift, narrow channel.
The large mare Mr.. Baker was riding
followed them. He was riding with a
rope halter only and probably could not
guide her. When within about % feet
Of the shore the horse and rider were
seen by parties on the bank to 90 under.
Mr.. Baker was not seen again. The

i The reported naval battle in Samoan waters is net credited because of the want of official information by eitker Germany or ths United States, parties to the alleged conflict A BreSlau, Germany, newspaper clalms to have Il private cablegram from Samoa in winch it is stated that the German trlgate Olga bombarded Mataafa s camp and that tho captain of tue American man-et-war protested, and the protest belng dsregarded, he opened fire upon the Olga, doing much damage to the German vessel where upon the Olga fired torpedo at the American ship, utterly destroying her with all her crew, none escaping. The Nipsic IS doubtless the vessel alleged to have been so disastrously dealt with She is wooden vessel et 1875 tons displacement, carrying six smooth bore guns, while the Olga is 2l60 tons dis placement, with ten rifle guns, and of muck greater speed than the Nipsie which is of vast advantage in an naval engagement. The Trenton, match for the Olga, left Panama on the 18th of January, and should have arrived at Apsi abeut March 1st. The Van dalia is also due at Samoa.
 The authenticity of tho Breslau private dispatch is questioned, for the reassn that Samoa dispatch could only be cablsd from falkland dis tance of about 1900 miles frsm Samoa, and, in the eyont of such fight as is represented, man -ef-war in haste would have been dispatched from Sa- moa to Aukland to have theIr report of the affar reach Berlin without a moments unnecessary delay, The only means of communication private parties at Samoa have with Aukland is twenty-five ten schooner, and all it does is to meet the steamer at Tu- tuila en Its way there.
 The Breslsu dispatch omits mention of the date of the alleged firing on the Olga and sinking of the NIpsiC, Had such an event really occurred Is 1t probable that the day of it's happening would have been loft for coniscturey The story is neither credited in Wash ington or Berlin, where it would, in all likelihood, first become known, if true, All doubts in relation to the affair will be removed by the arrival of the steamer Zealandia due in San Francesca to-day. She will bring ad- vices as late as March lst.

The full import of the Monroe doe Urine IS only just beginning to be gen srslly realized in the United States, ths situation at Panama and the Samea affair having forced it upon the atten. ton of the most casual observer. With the growth of the Western hom- isphsre this principle which the Uni. ted States has proclaimed, must be- csme more and more mementous in its bearing, and our Government can not hope to enforce the policy enun- ciatsd in that famous declaration eff President Monroe without navy sut- ticiently formidable ts command tue respect of the greatest oI the Euro psan Powers. It is policy fraught with the most serious consequences aad unless the United States recedes from the position taken, it must be prepared to encounter opposition ne sentiment oi the Amerlcan people is in favor of standing by the Monroe doctrine. While wishing as far as possible to ayold disputes with other nations, yet we will resist the inter- ference of any European Power in ths affairs eff the two Americas.
 The reported attempt upon tho part of England to take possession of the Venezuelan territory at the mouth of the Orineco river, may cali for the in- tervention of our Government. It is certain that President Harrisons ad- minlstratisn will be called upsn to consider questions of ths gravest iln- pert, requiring the clearost perception and the highest order of statesman. ship,

What next? The Tucson Star says the idea is being promulgated of or ganizing an anti-trsating society. It might result in ths introduction of a drink popular in the early days of St. Louis, called "a Barnes and Switzsr," i" which was quite sufficient to quench tho thirst of two or three persons, al- though they were as dry as chip The modus opsrandl ofmaking the one drink go long way was that the man whose belly was nearest the bar was generous in pouring the libatlsn, and after wetting his whistle, he passed the glass and it's remaining contents over his shoulder to the waiting dry one, and the glass circulated until it was as dry as q bone. And it was thus that the barkeeper was swindlsd and anti-treatins grew so unpopular ameng saloon men that the custom soon fsll into "inecuous diseutude" in that municipality.

What is to be the policy of the new administration in respect to silver coinage? This is the question of most importance to the West. There is a strong hope prevalent, based upon the declaration in the National platform favoring silver, that free coinage may be resumed during President Harri- son s term. As far as ths President has indicated his policy he has given assurance that the platform upon which he was elected will be faith. fully adhered to.

Photographic reports received during the past week announce crisis in copper, and predictions are freely in- dulgsd that the French Syndicate is in the first stages of collapse. These adverse reports, however, eminate from England, where thers is very large short interest and where opera tors, ever since the commencement of the corner, have predicted the down. fall of the Syndicate While the situ- ation is grave, yet there appears to hs no ground for positive belief that the Syndicate will soon succumb, and the acton of confident bears in selling freely for future delivery at redue- tlons of from &l5 to f20 frsm prices recently ruling in the English market, would seem hazardous, to say the least. The squeeze in 1888 seems to have taught them little, and 1t IS hks. ly that they will again have to pay dearly for their temerity. The fact that the Bank of France advanced G4,000,000 to the Syndicate, and the announcamentthat an agreement with English mining companies had been reached whereby tha restriction of production was effected, will have a tendency to restore confidence. 4 London cable of March Sth expresses the belief that the market has touched bottom, and states that q large Paris order to buy had just been received, and It was expected that heavy buy ing would follow the first turn up- ward.

 During the spring of 1871, while working h the heid at my home in Morgan county, Ga, pulled of my shoes to give my feet a rest. Unfortunately, l walked into clump of poison oak, and in few days my feet were in terrible condition, and 1 could not put on slIoe because of the soreness and swelling. vas treated as poison oak cases usually arc, and everything was healed up. Abont the same time the following spring, 1872, my feet became sore again, as at first, and every succeeding spring for five years brought back the same condition of the djc- ease, only each time it became more dis tressing, because began to think it was a lifetime trouble. Finally I was induced to try Swift's Specific. took six bottles, and to-day am entirely we'll My improvement was gradual from the first, and TO epidence of the disease remains 1 shall take pleas ure in testifying as to its curative proper- ties.
