PLAYING THE CLAM ACT.
Secretary Bayard Declines to Dis
cuss Samoan A Affairs.

CuSS samoan n
WASHINGTON, D. c., JAN, JAN. o.
The dispatches from London and Berlin
in regard to Samoan affairs published
in this mornings newspapers, were
shown to Secretary Bayard at the state
department this afternoon, with view
of obtaining some expression OF
opinion from him on the subject. His
attention was specially invited to the
statements that Germany had come to
definite understanding with the
United States with regard to Samoa"
and in response he said; "Of course, l
expect Germany to live up to her hon
orable engagements with the United
States. | have no right to think other
wise. But you must know that
these are matters i do not
care to discuss in the newspapers"
When asked in regard to the policy of
this government, he referred the ques-
toner to the presidents message to
congress of the 18th inst, and quoted
from his letter to the German minister
dated the 18th inst, which was recently
published, as expressive of his own
views upon the subject. The secretary
also alluded to the agreement entered
into between Great Britain and Ger
many in April, 1856, defining the
boundaries of English and German do
minions in the West Pacific ocean, in
which it is specifically declared that the
Samoan islands are neutral territory.
The United States, he explained, has
no joint treaty with either England or
Germany in regard to the neutrality of
Samoa. Therefore if Germany has in
terfered with the neutrality of that
country, she has not broken a treaty
with the United States, but has broken
one with Great Britain.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-'fhe house
to-day discussed the river and harbor
bill without action. Mir. Crisp, of
Georgia, called up the contested cleo
ton case of Smalls VS.. Elliott, which
Mr.. Randall antagonized with the
river and harbor bill. The house re-
fused, yeas LOG, nays 100, to consider the
election case, and after some tilibuster-
ing the river and harbor' bill was taken
up. On motion of Mr.. Cutcheon, OF
Michigan, the appropriation for conanu-
ing the improvement of Portage lake,
Mich, was increased from $4,000
amendment (Which he afterwards
withdrew, appropriating s5O, 1000 for the
establishment of harbor of refuge at
Point Judith, R. l. On Mr.. CoX's mo-
tiOn the item making an appropriation
for the improvement of Gowanus Bay
was amended to read as follows: ''C0n-
tinuing Improvement by deepening to

widening the channel to 400 feet in the
northerly side from the foot of Percival
street, along the Wharves to the twenty
three foot curve opposite the entrance
to the Erie basin-$20, ,009." Mr.. SOwden,
of Pennsylvania. and Mr. Cheadle, OF
Indiana, then began filibustering to pre-
vent consideration of the bill. The fill
clustering having continued some time,
the filibusterers became weary, and al
lowed the consideration of the bill to
be resumed. Mr.. McAdoo there
upon moved to strike out the
appropriation for the improve
ment of Ahnapee harbor. Wis.
Mr.. Hudd and Mr.. Blachard defended
the paragraph. Mr.. Cummings again
entered his protest against log-rolling.
In order to obtain mOlety OF money
for needed Improvements gentlemen
were asked to wink at appropriations
for puny streams. Mr.. Chapman, of
Michigan, reminded the gentleman from
New York that New York did not COM
prise the whole United States. The hos
tility to the appropriations for the great
West was born of intense Ignorance or
intense selfshness. Mr.. Grosvenor, of
Ohio, also entered a protest against the
attempt of New York to OaggrandiSe her
self. Mr. Spinola defended New York.
Give New York all that she wanted, he
said, and he would vote for all the
creeks on the face of the earth. Mr..
McAdoo's amendment was rejected, and
pending further debate the house, at 5
O'Clock, adjourned.

ably eloquent appeal in defense of his
character. The charges brought against
him were made by men whose charac-
ters would not bear very close eXamina-
ton. He wound up by reasserting the
position he had taken up, and that was
to stand by the nominee of the eau
Gus. The delivery of this speech
made a profound impression. Sen
ator Day also spoke, and then
came more heated controversy
over question of adjournment. One
section of senators argued that no ad-
iournment could be taken until ballot
had been made for eIecting United
States senator. This was denied by an
opposing section. Senator Edwards at
tempted the role of peacemakfr. and
moved a recess until $3.50 p. m. No heed
was taken of this. and Senator Durant
next attempted to add oil to the troubled
waters, by proposing the reconsidera-
tion of the resolution making the elec-
ton of United States senator a special
order for that day. This was similarly
treated, and then division was plunged
upon the senators whether they should
adjourn until to-day. The vote was a
test one, and at the time showed the full
strength Of the Washburn party vote.

STRIKE OFF THE SHACKLES.
Utah Pleads for Admission to
Statehood.

( WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Judge Jere-
miah II. Wilson, of this city, concluded
his argument to-day in behalf of the adj
mission of Utah territory as state of
the Union before the house committee
on territories. He argued that when
territory had population sufficient to
entitle it to representative in con-
gress, with the other conditions incident
TO fixed population, there was moral
obligation resting on the government to
admit that territory as state. He said
that one of the matters relied upon to
secure the rejection Of the application
OF. Utah for admission was the fact
Of the practice of 1polygamy and
he declared that not 2 per cent
of the present adult Mormon male
population of the territory have ever
pfactieed polygamy. He argued that
the. .tenets of the Mormon church re-
auired the people to obey the laws OF
tie state. That was one of the funda-
mental tenets Of the church. He main
tanned that congress had full power to
make such a compact with the proposed

at was not that Napoleon was fool

1t may we'll be questioned at the pres
ent time if similar criticism may not
be passed upon the campaign which
Gen. Washburn is to conclude to-day in
some way or other as far as he is con-
cerned. When Senator Frank Day
rushed into the house Monday morning
and warned two Of the Washburn lead
erS that the Seyatson Investigating reSo-
luton was coming, he added, Head it

Senator Days advice was not taken,
and with the result that in the house
yesterday morning Mr.. Washburn's en-
thusiastic young friends, who talk in
bass tones and fan the air with Demos
thenian phrases, were, fguratively
speaking, laid over the knee of major
ity and severely spanked. They re-
ceived q slippering that left their can
didate in a critical situation and sent
them sick and disgusted into new
battle for success.
The action of the senate last night in
giving Gen. Washburn twentyfour
votes may be considered as change for
the better in his situation. 1t will prob
ably affect the weakened members
who care more for party harmony than
bribery charges. If the house at the
joint session to-day gives the general
fifty-two votes, and he holds these
twenty-four of the senate, he will be a
United States senator, but by as close a
pinch as any candidate could fear. The
anti-W ashburn forces will direct their
efforts to-day to keeping the house in
the line of yesterdays break, and have
not given up hope of succeeding.

mercury was at zero, the men were
stripped to the waist and fought with

which cut the flesh and started the
blood to flowing in great streams. AS

seized a bottle and cracked Murphy'S

and stretched him out on the ground.
The mans face was cut in frightful
manner, blood freezing as fast as it
flowed from the cash. He lay insensi-

made this assault. the unknown seized
a ring stake and defended himself
against the negroes who were swarm

revolver and they made their escape.
The fight was for SO a side. The

forces of the mind for supremacy. A
parliament overturned by an epigram;
a Louis walking to the guillotine by the

men. A third witness told story about
a case of wine he had received from the
Washburn forces, and in rejoicing over
this had become so Intoxicated that he
now could not clearly say whether he
handled money or not. These were the
more serious charges brought out by
the investigation of the committee. but
in no respect was Gen. Washburn per-
sonally implicated The bribery, the
corruption, or whatever it may be
termed, had been committed bv SCbor-
dinates, whether with the approval of
their respective chiefs the committee

A war of words rent the chamber on
the reading of this testimony. The
passions of the senators rose. and their
heroic appeals could be distinctively
heard outside the senate. 1t was war
war to the teeth.
Senator Ward made rambling sort
of address, demanding that time should
be given the investigation committee to
complete its work. There were many
witnesses to. be examined, including
some prominent business men of Min

This speech added fuel to the fire,
and the volume of sound rose in unison
with the heated passions of the sena-

fifteenth and last round was called it
looked like draw, and the crowd was
ready to go. There were a couple
of clinches. following attempts to
rush on Cardiff's part. Then Car

ropes. Fell hugged him with
one arm and held on to the ropes with
the other. Finally Cardiff got loose,
and proceeded to hammer Fell. who
then changed his position, and. getting
Cardiff's left under his arm, held him
while he punched away at
his face. Cardiff did not make
much effort to defend himself,
simply trying to show the audience he
