Frye on Bayard,s Policy.

Washington special: Senator Frye
made it quite lively ct the meeting Of
the senate COMMITTEE on foreign affairs
this morning. The senator is ont Of
patience with Secretary Bayard's wishy
washy policy, and believes that congress
should do something to redeem the
reputation Of the United States abroad.
He believes ii would be proper Just at
this time, foE the senate to pass . sesoIu-
tion directing the president to demand
Of Bismarck that the condition Of affairs
in Samoa shall be restored exactly as it
was when the treaty between England,
Germany and the United States was
signed; that the Germans shall restore
the king to his thxone and repair the
damage that has been done by the
soldiers and by the rebels that have been
operating with their encouragement and
protection; and if Germany shall decline
10 do this Mr.. Frye would have o Sufficient
number OF men Of war sent there and
troops from the United States army
to see that il is done. But the rest OF
the committee were not quite 30 radical

Prince Bismarck, whether the United
States would object TO Germany assum-
ing the exclusive control of the Samoan
islands. The question was put bluntly.
but with the utmost Difference and
friendiiness. MIR. Bayard having be-
come satisfied that the questioner was
really what he assumed to bean unof-
fetal representative of Bismarck-re-
piled that the Uuited States could not
consent to any such separate control of
of the islands on the part OF Germany
"Thereupon the interview ended in
the same friendly spirit in which it
began, Mr.. Bayard's i~nterlocutor re-
turning Immediately to Berlin, and the
impression was left that no steps would
be taken by Germany inconsistent with
the amicable relations that had previ.
ously existed with this country. 1t is
evident now that Bismark had formed
the design of getting possession of the
islands and that he wanted, if possible,
to get an unofficial assurance from our
government that his movements would
not be enjoined. Failing in this, he did
not desist from his purpose, but set
about it in another way. AS there is no
written record of what TRANSFERRED at the
interview above mentioned, it is conse-
quently easy Ior so Skl1Iul practitioner
of journalism as Bismarck to interpret
it in any way he. pleases, or to ignore it
all together.
LONDON, Jan. 25.-The statement rel
alive to Samoan treaties, made yester-
day by The North German Gazette,
caused great surprise here. The utter
ance, which is undoubtedly Bismarck's,
places a seal upon the lips of diplomats,
and it is impossible to obtain from them
any expression on the diplomatic phases
of the matter. Minister Phelps, in view
of Germany's sudden assumption of die
tatorship, modified his remarks at the
farewell banquet rendered him at the
Mansion house by the Lord Mayor. He
carefully prepared his speech before
hand, and gave copies to the reporters,
thus guarding against being incorrectly
repOrted.

The Oil Trust.

New YORK, Jan. 2s.-At a conference
between the Standard Oil company and
the Producers Protective association ii
was agreed that the time for taking up
the 100000 barrels remaining uhsold
for the benefit of the producers who par
ticipated in the shutdown movement of
1883 and carried by the Standard since
Nov. !, 1887, should be extended to July
/, 1889. The Standard guarantees te
take at that date any part of this oil re.
naming unsold at a net profit to the
producers of. 5 cents per barrel. The
cost to the producers of this oil carried
to July l will be about S5 cents, 50 that
the guarantee is practically for 80 cents
on July l. for the oil unsold.

A DE RELlcT VESSEL,
Long and Erratic Cruise of the American
Schooner W. r. white.

Long and Erratic Cruise of the American
schooner w. #. White.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-A telegram
received by the photographer OF the
navy department, from Shornaway lin
the Hebrides, off the northwest coast of
Scotland), marks the completion of the
long and erratic cruise of the derelict
American schooner, w. l.. White, aban.
doned off Delaware bay March ID, dur
ing the great blizzard. All her crew
were rescued, and the vessel, with masts
and a portion of her sails stan ding and
ensign set. with the union down, started
off southeast before the northwest gale.
Upon reaching the. Gulf stream she
turned away toward the eastward and
commenced her long cruise toward Eu-
rope. directly in the track of the thou.
sands OF vessels engaged in trans-At-
lantic commerce, and now, after an in
terval of ten months and ten days, she
has completed her voyage, and lies strand
ed on the coast of Lewis island, one
OF the Hebrides. Her track, as plotted
on the pilot chart, is extremely interest
ing, illustrating as it does the track fol.
lowed by a derelict vessel under the
combined and varying influence of the
prevailing winds and currents, as well as
danger to commerce of such distractions
on the high seas, twenty-six of which are
siTowIiso1 pilot chart i n their latest
reported positions, and every great ocean
storm adds to the number. The most
notable feature about the track
of the W. L. White is the remark
able zigzag track she followed in mid
ocean between latitude "A and 81 north.
longitude 33 and Al west from the be.
ginning of May till the end of October.
Previous to this time she followed a

about thirty-tWo miles q day, and subse-
quently she moved eastward and north,
westward 1,280 miles in eigthy-four days,
an average of fifteen miles a day,
but during this long interval of six
months she remained within this. com
p~aratiyely small area, drifted back and
forth by the Gulf stream and the Labra-
dor current and tossed about by the
varying winds, a constant menace to
transatlantic steamships. three of which
sighted her in a single day, and an OBJ
struction to navigation shown on no
chart except the pilot chart. During
these six months alone she was reported
by thirty-six vessels. In her cruise Of
ten months and ten days she traversed a
distance of more than 9, 900 miles, was
reported ~forty-ive times, and how many
more times vessels passed dangerously
neal her at night and in thick weather
can not even be estimated. The cruise
of this derelict, as indicated by the very
complete records in the photographic
Office is By far sthe most interesting on
record.

LEGISLATIVE DoINGs.
Ttmid Legislators Sc AIRED
by Very Wicked Rum0rs.
The Gross Earnings Repeal 3 Il
Makes a Rush I hroust, the
House.

rumored this morning that the governor
intended TO remind the legislature that
there was an executive branch in the
territorial government; that he intended
to veto the printing bill, the bill provid-
ing for additional clerks; and in fact all
the appropriations not provided for in
the organic act, and the auditor would
refuse to draw the warrants and the
treasurer to pay them, ever il they
passed the bill over his veto; that the
governor proposed to show them that
two could play ct that game If they pro-
posed to nose around his eli . in-esti-
eating as to aft airs that were not Of their
business; but the timid ones quieted
down when they considered the absurdi-
ty Of these rumors and the governor
laughed loudly When informed of them.
He said the most courteous relations OK
listed between himself and the council,
and whether they confirmed his appoint.
ments or not did not make the slightest
difference to him. They had a right to
their opinions, as long as they did not
seek to interfere with his or attempt to
GORGE him there would be no trouble be-
tween them. No mere difference Of
opinion would be allowed to influence
his official action.
The groas earnings bill came up to-
day in the house, Mr.. Atkins moving to
suspend the rules, and Messrs. Burn
ham, Welcome, Newman and others
protesting against cracking it through
without any consideration whatever.
The bill was passed, all members but
McHugh. who was absent, voting aye.
1t was amended by the council so as to
re enact the laws IN relation to the taxa.
sion Of railroads In force previous 20 1879,
but the title was not amended 30 as to
cover this additional provision, and the
house was in such q hurry to pass il that
they took no note OF che defective title.
1t is surmised that some voted aye on
the bill believing that the defective title
would kill il, and some voted that way
in order TO comply with the farmers 81.
lance demands. Still the Law was oer-
tain to be thoroughly remodeled, and
this bill was only preliminary to an en-.
tirely new system Of railway taxation.
The woman suffrage bill was knocked
out in the first round by 20 to IT, very
much TO the surprise Of every one. Capt.
