A MERE BAGATELLE.
A German Papers Opinion OF the
Samoan Affair.

BERLIN. Feb. H.-'The Berlin Post re-
prints an article in the Weser Zeitung on the
Samoan question, and remarks that IN many
respects the views therein taken are correct.
The article in question rejects the suppo-
sitlon that the government came to terms
with Ame rica owing to Germany's position
in regard to France and says:
Neither under the present nor under any
other circumst ances would Germany have
risked a rupture with America for such
a bagatelle, The Samoan white book
shows that whatever action German
officials repudiated was contrary to interna-
tional law. The press criticisms asked by
the white book were almost entirely directed
against the excess of zeal displayed by Ger
man agents who appeared to be lacking in
the statesmanike discretion necessary in
dealing with the condition. Samoan reports
show an endeavor to make German anneXa-
tion or protection appear necessary. After
stating that the conflict of Decem-
Der Is might have been avoided
had the German consuls taken more
literally his instructions, which were that he
should not intervene, but in the event of
Tamesese's ability to hold his ground he
should support negotiations between
Tamesese and Matoaba"
The Weser Zeitung continues: "Whether
AIatoafa's people We're led by the American
government or not, they cannot 6e made re-
sponsible for the action of individuals. The
German consul, however, by his action un-
uouotedly burdens ms government with such
responsibility. The contrast between the at
titude of the consul and the government is
shown by the white book, and therefore is
easily explained"
The Cologne Gazette violently attacks the
f1eisinnige Press and repeats the demand
for the punishment and eXtradititn of the
American, Klein, AS Il common criminal.
The North German Gazette publishes a
map OF Upolu, one OF the Samoa islands,
study of which, it declars, leaves no doubt
of the prcponderance OF German interests in
Samoa.
LONDON, Feb, 2i.-rhe Times Berlin cor.
respondent says: At the dinner given by
bismarck to the members Of the lower house
of the Prussia diet, the chancellor 81 Ip he re-
garded IL rs an utter impossbility that the
Samoan question should have the effect of
intcrupoing those friendly relations be-
tween Germany and America which

MORMONS ROUGHLY HANDLED
ProseIyting Missionaries l'Iogged and
Driven From the Country.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 24.-Several Nor
mon missionaries have been proselyting for
some time past in this section of the country
Two of them in Dubois county have been
claiming to perform miracles, but failed to
do so. They were told by number of citi-
zens to leave the county, but refused. Last
FRIDAY, while they were exhorting, several
masked men seized chem, stripped and tied
them to trees and gave them fifty lashes
each on the bare back. They were told that
they would be left TO themselves until morn
ing, but would be killed if found IN the
county on Saturday. They disappeared, and
one of them, Elder Williams, made jour
ney of twenty miles to Winslow, which he
reached yesterday. He had left his com.
panion, who had fallen by the wayside, and
he himself was in half demented condition
and perfectly exhausted. They are looking
for the other elder to-day. 1t is thought that
Williams will die from the effects of his

The Breeders Association.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Feb. "a Special to THE
BEE. THE proceedings of the fifteenth an
nual meeting of the Iowa improved Stock
Breeders association are now given to the
public in book form, as ordered by the gen.
eral assembly. This association is one of the
successful institutions of the state, and rep
resents the advancement made by the farm
ers and stock growers of Iowa in the matter
of raising and improving the grade of cattle
About twenty years ago pure bred specimens
of stock began to be introduced into Iowa,
with very beneficial effects. From that time,
instead of shipping out of the state, the great
bulk of the grain raised in Iowa, the people
began to see the advantage of feeding 1t to
stock. First came an Improvement in the
grade of hogs, and the razorbacks disap-
peared Then better stock of horses and
cattle was introduced, and the farm
ers began to get thoroughly inter
ested in Improving the grade of the stock of
all kinds. Some fifteen years ago the move
ment in favor of better stock had gone far
enough to justify the organization of an I'm
proved Stock Breeders association" and
now it is one of the most hourishing of all
the state organizations AS result of the
work that has been done in improving the
stock of Iowa, it is estimated that there is in
vested in cattle, horses, mules, hogs and
sheep in this state alone, over 5000, 000, 900.
There are probably 10000, 900 animals of var
iOus kinds in the state. Some OF the finest
horses and cattle in the world are TO be found
in Iowa, and the general grade Is constantly
improving

The Governors Trial.

DEs MONIES Ia, Feb "a Il Special TO THE
BEE. The trial of the governor of Iowa on
criminal charge has been the subject of the
week not only in Des Moines but in Iowa.
The papers all over the state stopped their
discussion of the ever present railroad ques.
tion and express their opinion on the novel
spectacle of a governor in the role of defend
ant in a criminal court The press of the
state has very generally condemned the in
dictment of the governor as spite work, in
retaliation for the governors refusal to par
don young Iurncy. After having failed to
move him, the friends of Turney seem to
have determined to make him trouble by the
annoyance of q prosecution in court. AL
though the governor merely repeated what
twenty-seven citizens of Preston, jackson
county, had affirmed, over their own names,
yet he was singled out for punishment, while
they were left alone. 1t is believed that this
Is the only instance on record in which a
governor, while in active office, has been the
defendant in criminal court. Each session
during the trial, the court room mas been
crowded with an eager throng of sight
seers.
The people generally are getting very tired
of the Iurney case. II has been before the
public for the last two years, and the i'm
portunity of those who want to reverse all
courts and let the young man 20 free, has
become little wearyng. Meanwhile, Tur-
ney Is being carefully cared for at the Ana
mosa prison, and according to the testimony
of the warden, is really enjoying all the no
toriety he is receiving. He is now about
twenty-five years old, and it is said looks
upon himself as quite hero. His exploits
have been of the dime novel order, and his
crimes were all apparently studied for their
dramatic effect. He eagerly reads every al
lusion in the newspapers to himself whether
the article be friendly or unfriendly. Ac-
cording to his own admission he was guilty
of series of burglaries and felones, and so
far he has spent about three years IN prison.
Probably, if there had not been so many at
tempts to coerce the governor, he would have
pardoned the young man before very long.
But while the case is in court, and while the
governor is under the threats and practical
duresss, he is not likely to interfere in the
young mans behalf.

having a little trouble with contagious
