The Samoan Commission,

BERLIN, June 15.-The American COM
missioners to the Samoan conference have
received instruction from Mr.. Blaine, the
American secretary of state. in relation to
the protocol drawn up by the conference.
Mr. Blaine disagrees with several provi-
sions of the protocol, and is also of the
opinion that England and Germany have
not go7e far enough in respect to the rights
conceded to the United States. The confer
ence had sitting to receive Mr.. Blaine's re-
ply. The English and German commission
will afterwards consider Mr. Blalne's obiec
ton and decide upon what policy they shall

Canada Claims an Understanding.
OTTAWA, ONT, June 1s.-S. b. Webb, of
New Westminster. B. c., is in town and
says he has information to the affect that
England and the United States have come
to an understanding, in accordance with
which no seizure of British vessels will be
made in the Behring sea this season. As
soon as the existing contract with the Alaska
Fur company expires, an effort will be
made to hold an international conference
for the purpose of taking steps to jointly
protect the seal fisheries there as well as in
the south Pacific islands. Mr.. Webb says
the United States has undoubtedly superior
rights. The indiscriminate slaughter of
seal is having bad effect. For seven seals
shot only one is secured.

William Walter Phelps.

BERLIN, June 1s.-The American delegates
to the Samoan conference are much compli-
mented on the result of their labors. Mr..
William Walter Phelps is regarded by every
one as the coming United States minister,
though he himself denies that he has been
offered the position.
The official press is disinclined to dwell
upon the mstter-of the Samoan settlement,
all the glory of which is lost to Germany,
and brief paragraph in the North Ger
man Gazette, on the conclusion of the con-
ference, states that the agreement was
arrived at with perfect unanimity by the
powers represented and to the satisfaction
of all parties concerned.

PRECIPITATION.
There IS an excess of rainfall from Sedg-
wick to Linn, in Nemaha, Marshall, WASH
ington and Clay, in the extreme western
counties from the south line of the state to
the north line. and in the northern counties
extending eot to Jewell and Mitchell
This excess is most marked in Rawlins
where over six inches e. of rain fell dur
ing the week. A deficiency exists N the
southwest central counties which culmin-
ates in Stafford, Pratt, western Reno, east
ern parts of Edwards and Kiowa and again
in the southern part of Cowley, where no
rain fell during the week. severe hail
storm passed from the contiguous portions
of Rocks and Ellis east by north to and
through the central and northern parts of
Riley.
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.
The temperature has generally been be-;
low the normal, in the eastern division rang
ing from to degrees below.
In the northwestern and eastern counties
of the eastern division the sunshine has
ranged from normal to an excess, while in,
the central and southern it is deficient. It,
is deficient in the northwest, but excessive
in Trego, Ellis, Rush, Barton, Pawnee, Stat,
ford and Pratt, while elsewhere it Is about
an average.
The splendid rains of the past two weeks
in western Kansas are illustrating the re-
operative powers of that virgin soil. In
Stevens, Morton and Grant the early planted
corn is two and a half feet high, the wheat
outlook is decidedly better, the oat crops
greatly improved "a moderate crop now GER
tain, whereas June 1 no crop expected), and
corn planting, which was discontinued on
account of the drouth, is now being pushed
vigorously. Reports from adjoining coun-
ties, and up the western tier, show the same
improvement.
In the northwest spring wheat is heading,
early cherries ripening and new potatoes are
ready for market. In the west central coun-
ties, extending thence southeast to and
through the southern tier eastward the
weather has been excellent for all crops and
fer wheat harvest. In the other counties it
is cool for corn. The hail storm, night of
the 9TH and sth, greatly damaged all crops
within its limits, while the severe wind ac-l
companying it damaged crops and wrecked.

MANY PEOPLE KILLED
A Sunday School Train in Ire
land Wrecked.
Twelve Hundred Persons on tne
Train--A Dozen Children ana
Sixty Adults KflIed--Aii Armaugh
Mourns - Culpable Negligence
Charged.

DUBLIN, July 14.-An excursion train Oh
fifteen carriages filed with LOO excursion
lists from Arnaugh, members and friends OF
the Methodist Sunday school, was wrecked
where the embankment was seventy feet
high.
The shrieks of the children were horrible.
The bodies of the victims were arranged
in rows as soon as discovered. Many were
mangled beyond recognition. There Is
scarcely family in Armagh that has not
some one dead. The embankment on which
the accident occurred is seventy feet high.
Many touching scenes were witnessed. The
children bore their injuries with great pa
tience.
Wrecking gangs are at work clearing
away the debris. A private of the Irish fusi-
lers before the collision jumped on the seat
of one of the cars and dropped four children
to the ground. He then offered to assist
others to escape, but his offer was refused.
In many cases whole families were killed.
Crowds of people are visiting the scene OF
the disaster and the air is rent with lamen-
tations. Before starting on the fatal excur-
sion, the children paraded through the
streets with flags and banners and the town
folks turned out en- mass to wish them q
happy holiday. The party Of excursionists
included ministers, teachers, the parents OF
some of the children and few other adults.
The accident happened opposite Sir
Capels Molineux's establishment on the
Belfast road. The passengers give different
accounts, but they all complain bitterly OF
the stupidity of those in charge OF the
wrecked train, who, they say, tried to block
the. wheels of the detached cars with peb-
bles.
The train consisted of fifteen carriages.
The bulk of the children were in the front
portion of the train. Only about one dozen
children were killed. The majority of the
victims were about 20 years of age. They
were in the last carriage, which was COM
pletely smashed. Many of the occupants
jumped from the windows and escaped with
slight injuries before the collision. The
passengers on the hind train were not in
jured. They allighted and assisted in the
work of relief. The Identification of victims
by friends or relatives were painful in the
extreme.
All the bodies have now been taken from
the wreck. The total killed is Y. of
which 81 have been identified. At-the for
NAL inquest this evening the magistrate
said it appears on the face of it that there
had been most culpable negligence.

special to the Times says Governor Beaver
and his council have become dissatisfied
with his scheme to take 81 100000 out of the
state treasury to pay the expense of clearing
away the Johnstown wreck. Offers to in
dorse bonds are few and far between, and
he will probably try to raise enough money
to pay the expense by loans from citizens
vino will take the chance that the legislature,
when it meets in 1891, will reimburse them.

The War in Texas More Fatal Than
First Reported.
BAsTRoP, TEX, June 19.-There are con-
ficting reports about the cause of the bloody
shooting ARRAY, which occurred about
eighteen miles south of this place, in which
four white men and five negroes we're killed
ond many others wounded. From one YER
sion it appears that in the neighborhood
where the trouble occurred, a coiored justice
of the peace, Orange Wickes, and a colored
constable, Isaac Wilson, were recently elect
ed. The Justice had issued warrant for
one A. D. Ltten (white) and it was put in
to the hands of Wilson. Soon after the
latter met Litten. informed him he had a
warrant for his arrest and proceeded to read
it. Lltten remarked that it was no use to
ed by q id niger Quite crowd
had gathered and Wilson's friends advised
that he place the warrant in the hands of a
white constable. This he did, and Litten
was arrested, but declared that he would
not be tried before colored justice. Not
withstanding his protest he was carried be-
fore Justice Wickes whose court was in ses-
sion. The room was crowded with blacks
and whites. In the court room Litten was
very abusive and finally words grew to blows,
then to the use of siX-shoOters and Win
chesters. Justice Wlckes was riddled with
bullets and instantly killed. Iheycolored
constable was killed and two spectators
filed with lead and died soon after. Hous-
ton Moore, a colored boy, was killed by
stray bullet. Alexander Nolan and George
Schof, both white men, were shot down and
instantly killed, as was another white man
whose name could not be learned. Litten
was also killed. The affair created intense
excitement in tie neighborhood, it is said
that at least 100 armed men gathered on the
ground ready to renew the fight, but all has
been quiet so far as known here. Sheriff
White, of this city, sent strong force down
to the scene of the trouble, and he antici-
nafes No further f;ohfinp.

Later News About the Chippewa
Outbreak.

Later News About the Chippewa
Outbreak.
Mora, MIMI, June 1.-THE treacherous
Chippewas are on the war path again and
there are grave fears of general uprising.
ALREADY seven Swede laborers have been
massacred and several hundred laborers
and settlers are now hurrying here for
safety. Sheriff Nicholson, mounted on an
Indian pony, rode into town and gave the
alarm. He also communicated with Cover
nor Merriam requesting him to order out
the state troops to quell the uprising. The
present trouble is the outgrowth of en-
croachment of the whites upon the Mile
Lac reservation. Recently contract was
awarded by the settlers to Foley Bros, of
st. Paul, to dig ditch for irragating pur-
poses from Mile Lac to point on Smoke
river near this place. When the Indians
learned that ditch was to be dug they at
once came to the conclusion that the inten-
ton was to drain the lake and deprive them
of their fishing grounds. Notice was served
by the Indians on the contractors warning
them that if they did not leave their terri
tory at once they would be put to death.
The contractors gave no heed to the warn
ing but came here and engaged 800 labor
ers who began work at Mile Lac: They
were attacked by party of about 400 Chip
pewas led by White Snake and Great Bear.
The Indians were in full war paint and were
armed with Winchester rifles and toma-
hawks. As soon as they saw the reds COM
ing the laborers dropped their shovels and
fled towards this place. They we're pursued
by the savages who shot and killed seven
men. Their names are Olaf Magusen,
Christian Rasmussen, August Swanson, Gus
tave Toderstrom, Carl Speech, Jacob Skoll
and Torenso. Several others were wounded
but not seriously. The Indians scelped
Torrenso and Magusen and mutilated the
bodies of Speech and Skon in . fendish
manner. The Indians who have been gath
ering on the south of Mile Lac lake for q
week or more, engaged in a war dance as q
preliminary to the massacre. Three of the
seven victims have families here in destitute
circumstances.

WHY Is ITs

From an Exchange.
Let a boy fall and all hands
and heart are at his COM
mand for redemption's sake. He
is somebody's darling."' That is
right. It is always right to save a
fallen creature of any kind. Every
mothers heart if bleeding for him !;
every sisters tears are shed for
him. The fathers and ministers
pray for him; the church is open
to him if he manifests the slight
est inclination to return to the path
of rectitude. If he does return
he is white robed and banqueted.
A prodigal son has returned. But
what of girl ? If she falls whose
tears are shed? Whose doors are
opened? What sister or mother
weeps? What father or minister
prays for her? What church is
open to her? Alas, all is silent
and the church is closed to her
She is a fallen woman and for her
there is no love; no sympathy. She
is a hopeless outcast. This is the
exact state of things. Why do
women spurn their own sex when
one happens to fall. and the same
day take the man who brought dis
grace upon her by the hand and
try to reclaim him? There is un-
solvable mystery in all this, and if
any lady can explain why the
female race has such a hatred for
the outcasts of their own sex, and
30 much charity for the opposite
