ference. In dispatch to Herr Stubel. the

declaring that Germany has nothing To do
with the internal affairs OF Samoa. that
her mission is restricted TO protecting Ger

commercial interests. Prince Bismarck
has issued an order in which he defines the
responsibility OF Commanders of warships
with respect to the requests OF Consuls

The Chancellor directs the Commanders
to examine for themselves the legal and
political grounds for such request, unless

aLEr THE SOUTH ALONE,
Interviews With Southern Men Upon I'll
Needs of fhe Souf1,


PHILADELPHIA. April 18th The ENQUIRER
VIII publish tomorrow interviews which
it has collected with prominent politicians
of the Southern States, in answer TO the
questions, What is the Southern ones
ton ~ And how should il be met, to pro-
duce the greatest good to the South ?"
The responses from nearly all voiced the
same sentiment; that the race problem is
the great one to be solved, and that the
South should be allowed to mansge her
own affairs without interference.
Among the most prominent gentlemen
from whom replies were received, are the
following: Governor Richardson, of South
Carolina; Governor Lee, of Virginia. Gov
ernor Buckner. of Kentucky; Attorney
General Miller, of Mississippi, and Lieu
tenant-Governor Mauldin, of South Caro-
lima.
The tenor of their replies is contained
mainly in that of Governor Richardson's.
who says the Southern question is the race
question, shall the African or the Cauca-
sion race predominant? There should be
strict avoidance by the General Govern
ment OF any distinctively Southern policy,
leaving to the States themselves the man.
agement of their own domestic affairs.
Governor Buckner of Kentucky protested
that there is no Southern question. Such
unpatriotic sectional agitation, whether
originating in the North or South, should
not be encouraged, and injury resulting
from such agitation would be reduced to the
minimum if the people of each State would
continue to attend to their own affairs and
unite IN supporting the general Govern
ment in its just exercise of all legitimate
powers.
Attorney General Miller of Mississippi
said the contrast between the negro and
white Governments had been so decidedly
in favor of the latter that the white people
were determined that there shall be no re-
turn 10 the former. A military despotism
would be preferred. When interstates
Judgment, instead of passion and prejudice,
shall control the Southern negro then the
question will be solved.
Lieutenant Governor Maulnin of South
Carolina says the Federal Government can
help the South by appointing to office men
of character and capacity and by dealing
generously in the matter of international
improvement, and by refunding the cotton
tax. In other words, says he let the South

THE FRUIT PROSPECTS.
Reports are Excellent From All Sections
Of the Union,

OF the Union.
ST. LOUIS, April 1Sth.-The Republic will
PRINT Tomorrow report giving the fruit
anu vegetable prospect of the whole coun-
try. The reports have all been written
during the present month by the best in
formed parties in their respective States.
The peach crop is expected 10 be the
largest ever grown, the peach buds being
alive at this time in every State in the
Union, and the season beipg now so far
advanced the crop is assured in the West
and South, and although too early to safely
predict full yield in the East, yet a good
crop is expected
The crop of apples will be much smaller
than that of last year, il being an off year
Tor that crop at many of the big shippin g
points.
The strawberry crop is nearly up to the
average. yet much larger than that of 1888,
which was the lightest in many years.
The pear crop will average light through
out. Its great enemy is the blight.
The grape crop in the West and South
has been favored with such mild winter
that but little injury has been inflicted, and
nearly double yield of that of last year is
looked for.
The general vegetable crop, which is at
tracing more attention from labor and in
vestors generally, especially through the
Southern States, is reported excellent.
Florida is now the most formidable rival
of all other Southern States as a shipper of
early fruits and vegetables, getting into
every market, East and West, before any
other State by several weeks. Her orange
crop promises to be larger than that of last
year, the heaviest on record.
California, it seems, is drying and evar-
Grating her fruits to a greater extent since
the interstate commerce law raised rates to
distant markets, yet the almost unprece-
dented low prices prevailing for dried and
evaporated fruit now and for months past.
will discourage operators and reduce the
amount of fruit SO saved largely in all the
States.

THE ACT OF A HERO.
A Switchman Dies to Save the Life of a
Little Child.

New York, April 1Sth.-A hero, clad IN
brown, greasy .overalls, checked jumper
and the cap of a switchman, lost his life
yesterday in the yard of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad at Jersey City while saving
from the frightful death that he himself
met ten-year-old child. He was Patrick
McAtamny, an Irishman, ~ years old, who
supported his wife and family of seven
young children by switching trains for the
Pennsylvania Railroad. He was standing
in the door of his little house about 8
o'clock waiting for single car TO be backed
by an engine on side track. just as the
car which he had switched reached him, a
little boy who had been picking up coal
from an ash heap near by stepped on the
track Immediately in front of the car.
McAtamny saw him and jumping to the
track pushed the boy violently from it.
The next instant. however, the rapidly
moving car struck the man. There was
crunching of bones, and when the engine
had pushed the car on a mass of bloody
shreds was all that remained of the switch
man.

A LUCKY HEIRESs.
An Unsophisticated Mountain Girl Wins
Wealth,


Wealth.
NEW BEDFORD Mass, April 1Sth.-An
anonymous writer in San Francisco has
been the means of transforming an ieno-
rant mountain girl into wealthy heiress.
During the war there came to Nantucket a
young dentist named Franklin A. Ellis.
He had plenty of money, which he in
creased by securing large practice. There
were mysterious rumors about him, but he
kept his past to himself and nothing could
be discovered of his earlier days. In 1884
be died, leaving personal property and real
estate amounting to 100000. These went
TO some Massachusetts relatives. The Court
appointed Allen Coffin administrator and
the estate was amicably divided. About
year since Mr.. Coffin was surprised to re-
celye several letters from San Francisco,
signed Cleveland" saying Ellis had
daughter living, and telling him to INQUIRE
IN GAINESVILLE. Ga. All efforts to discover
Cleveland's identity failed.
Mr.. Coiiln started out to investigate, and
at Gainesville found that Ellis had, in 1880.
married Martha Patty, and had prevailed
on her mother to sell her estate and go
North with him. He was traced to Illi-
nois, where it was ascertained that after
some time Ellis had robbed the mother.in-
law OF all her money and fled. The old
lady died and his wife, after giving birth to
a daughter, welded a widower named
