The Samoan Trouble.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The news of the
recent action of the German forces at Samoa
has given rise to quite commotion among
members of the House of Representatives
and much indignation is felt at the an.
nouncement that the Germans intend to
search vessels arriving at Samoa. Repre-
sentative Thomas OF Illinois, has prepared
a resolution directing the President to take
such steps, forc;bly, If deemed expedient, as
are necessary to protect American interests
in Samoa

GENERAL MALONE never had any chance
for cabinet position, for the simple reason
that Mr.. Harrison knows him and is familiar
with the political affairs of Virginia. But
If the General shall still entertain any ling
erng hope that he may yet be chosen, the
following from the Press, the radical repub'
lican MON ng newspaper of Washington,
ought to ne sufficient to dispel it effectually:
1.-The republican party with great unanimity
would be delighted if President Harrison
would appoint General Malone to some
foreign mission, and thereby secure a united
republican party in Virginia"

The Samoan Affair.

Secretary Bayard has received dispatch
announcing that Germany has declared war
on Mataafa. The report that American
vessels are to be searched by German men
of.war In Samoan waters has reused deep
interest among Congressman. The action
of the Senate so far is regarded as eyasive
of the Presidents request for distinct ex.
preston as to Samoan affairs. 1t is said
that the President will send another mes
sage to Congress in few days containing
the latest official information on the subject.
A cablegram received in Washington last
night announces that the German govern
ment has ordered Lieut.. Eckardstein,
military attache of the Legation, to
report at once to the German Min-
lister. His business, it is announced,
is TO investigate and report to the
War Department everything of interest
concerning the American army and navy,
Notifications, equipments, etc. The Lieu
tenant is expected to arrive within fort.
night.
10 reference to Samoan affairs Secre-
tary Bayasd says II have yet to learn that
any American has been injured or any Of
their rights as defined by law end treaty
taken away. Our policy has been fixed and
steady in the direction of the preservation
of American rights. The German govern
meut has given assurances that Germany
would not violate any American rights, and
Prince Bismarck has renewed his assurance
that Germany will scrupuIously respect
these rights. The department cannot pre-
vent rival commercial companies in SAMOA
quarreling and fighting. 1t is not for US to
try and give every country stable govern
ment"
Secretary Bayard said that he had not yet
received the proposition which Count Arco
Valley hsd informed him Prince Bismarck
had sent for conference between Germany
and the United Strtes in regard to Samoa.

,Uhc GROWN Prince n suicide.

VIENNA, Feb lit is officially announced
that Crown Prince Rudolph committed sui
ciie by shooting himself in the head. The
weapon used was a revolver. The Uiener
Zeitung says prof Wiederhofer who per-
formed the autopsy on the remains of Crown
Prince Rudolph. found large wound in the
side of the head, which must have caused
instant death. The revolver, with one
chamber discharged, was found on the bed
side close to the Prince. The position in
which it was found proves beyond doubt
that the Crown Prince committed suicide.
The pericran;um Was torn and the skull
bones were partially shattered. The report
of the revolver was heard by no one, the
Crown Princes attends its having left the
house to make preparations for hunting
excursion Several Of the Crown Princes
attendants state that during the last few
weeks the Crown Prince had manifested
signs of morbid nervous excitement and
therefore, the Wiener Zeifung says, the view
that the shooting was the result of Temporal
ry mental arrangement must be adhered to.
s Jme time previous to his death the Crown
Prince complained of headache, which was
attributed to an il jury to the head which he
sustained by fell from horse last autumn.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that Rudolph
committed suicide because It was optional
with him to take his own life or to fight q
duel with the brother of q princess who is
q member of one of the highest Austrian
families and whom be had seduced.

not know Of such al Instance. There has he
says, been great deal of misrepresentation,
and in time it will be seen that the State De-
partment has done everything that could be
done. Tue trouble with the members OF
the present administration is that they only
see Que side of the picture and hear only the
