Sismarck's Dilatory Tactics i'm Connection
with the samoan Conference.-The willy
Chancellor Wants Time e., Punish tie
Natives Before His Hands are Tied by
Treaty Stipulatf1ns.
BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 15-Tne Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun telegraphs his paper as follows re-
garding the proposed conference in Ber-
lin on Samoan matters:
sit looks now very much as If the Sa-
moan conference in Berlin will not be
held by representatives of the present.
Administration. Count Arco- Valley, the
German Minister, called upon Secretary
Bayard Wednesday and informed him
that the latter's answer to Bismarck's
proposal for conference had been sent
TO Berlin by mail. TT will reach Berlin
about the Goth. The German Foreign
Office will probably take several days to
consider Mr.. Bayard's suggestions, and its
answers, if sent by mail, would hardly
reach this country before the beginning
OF the Harrison regime. There would
seem to be no good reason why the corre-
spondence should not have been conduct
ed by telegraph, except on the assumption
that Blsmarck's resort to the mails is
simply trick to gain time in which to
punish the Samoans before the negt tia
tons at Berlin will begin. In we'll
informed quarters here there is a suspi-
cion that Germany has already sent REIN
forcementS to Samoa to avenge the
killing of a number of men in the recent
fight with Mataafa, and it is not at all I'M
likely that we will hear of another bloody
battle. If, however, Bismarck is playing
fair, and accepts Mr.. Bayard's propo-
sal Of truce in good faith, commission
err will be sent by Mr.. Bayard to represent
this country at Berlin, provided, of course,
Prince Bismarck's reply is received in
time.
minister Pendleton, though much inn
prove in health, is hardly strong enough
to conduct the negotiations. A hitch in
the matter, aside from the delay of cor
respondence by mail, may arise from
Bismarck's unwillingness to accept Mr..
Bayaro's proposal that instructions to
suspend belligerent action in Samoa 'be
telegraphed at once to the German agents
and representatives of the other treaty
powers
''It is thought to be quite possible that
Bismarck will insist upon reprisals by
way of asserting German prestige in the
Pacific and satisfying the National pride,
which has been touched in tender spot
by the defeat of the German landing
party by Mataafa. Mr.. Bayard, however,
has made a vigorous protest against such,
and has already protested that it would
not be worth while to hold the conference,
unless Germany gives practical evidence
OF a sincere desire to promote the restor-
alton OF peace in the islands by foregoing
her desire for vengeance"

President Morton.
GREENcAsTLE, Ind, Feb. 15.-Mr. Levi
Woodman, a farmer and ex-sheriff of Put

which he will forward to the Vice-Presi.
dent-elect about March 1. 1t is made Of
Indiana walnut, and is ornamented with
silver and ivory. The "hammer" is

DANGEROUS EGGS.

The Novel Device Used by Maryland Barn
Burners in the Pursuit of Their Nefari-
GUS lSusiness-AH Hen Fruit Looked
with Suspicion.
BALTIMoRE, Md, Feb. 15.-The residents
of Manchester and other little towns in
Carroll County, Nd, continue to be
greatly alarmed by the threats and de-
structive work of the barn burners. A
farmer near Manchester received the
usual notice that his barn would be burned
at certain time. He removed his crop
and machinery and lay in wait for the
incendiaries. He found an egg lying in
some hay on the barn floor. Picking it
up he was astonished at it's weight. Turn
ing it over in his hand he discovered that
its contents were trickling through hole
in the shell no larger than pins head.
Suspecting that it contained some deadly
chemical, the farmer laid it out in the field
and went after a neighbor who knew more
than he did about chemicals. The eggs
and other chemicals and water. The
theory is when the water evaporates in the
she'll combustion occurs. This discovery
has only added to the excitement, and
now the farmers regard every egg found
in their barns with suspicion until they
have satisfied themselves that it is not
loaded. One insurance company in South
ern Pennsylvania has sustained losses in
the burning of thirteen buildings. What
object the incendiaries hope to gain by
the fires has not been learned. The
notices invariably request the owners of
the barns to remove all stock and
machinery by certain time.

Demoralizing Effect of the wa Cor mis-
Sioners' Schedule.

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Prominent railroad
officials in this city state that Judge Brew
er's decision, which put into effect the
Iowa Commissioners schedule of rates,
has had an extremely demoralizing effect
on Northwestern traffic. The Iowa roads
claim that all their Iowa business is done
at loss, and the adjustment of rates con-
sequent upon the adoption Of the new
schedule offers many perplexing ques-
tons for salution. 1t is estimated that
the one item of additional printing alone
will amount to two hundred thousand dol
lars. The netloss to the railroads will be
at least three million dollars before May.

d. Allison to he Secretary
of the Trersurr.

There seems TO be no doubt that vii.
liam b. Allison. Of Dubuque, Iowa, now
a senator, can be Secretary OF the Irca-
sury in the Cabinet now being labori-
ously developed. provided he will ac-
cept.
Mr.. Allison was born in 1899, at Perry,
Ohio. He was graduated from the West
ern Reserve College and read law.
After his admission to the bar he began
practice in Ohio. In 1857 he removed
to Dubuque, Iowa, and opened an Office
there. The young lawyer had not been
long in Iowa before he had become
a member of the Governors staff.
At the outbreak Of the civil war he
