Bisnnarck's Scheme.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The Evening Post
says editorially in reference to the Samoan
correspondence: "There is one fact in the
history of the negotiations which may per-
haps be made public now without detriment
to anybody on this side of the Atlantic.
Very soon after Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
tion was seated German citizen of rank
from Berlin, but holding no diplomatic posi-
tion, called on Mr.. Bayard and put the ques-
tion to him in the name of Prince Bismarck,
whether the United States would object to
, Germany's assuming the exclusive control of
the Samoan islands. The question was put
bluntly, but with the utmost Difference and
friendlinesS, Mr. Bayard having become sat
1sfied that the questioner was really what he
assumed to be, namely: an unofficial repre-
sentative Of Bismarck, replied that the
Omitted States could not consent to
any such separate control of the islands on
the part of Germany
"Thereupon the interview ended in the
same friendly spirit in which it began. Mr..
Bayards interlocutor returned Immediately
to Berlin and the impression was left that,no
step would be taken by Germany inconsist-
ent with the aulicable relations that had pre-
Viously existed with this country. 1t is evil
dent now that Bismarck had formed the
design of getting possession Of the islands
and that he wanted, if possible, to get an un-
afiicial assurance from our government that
Lis ntoGenents would not be impeded Fail
ing in this he did not desist from his purpose,
but set about it in another way. As there is
no written record of what transpired at the
interview above mentioned, it is compara-
lively easy for so skillful practitioner of
Journalism as Bismarck to interpret it in any
way he pleases, or to ignore it altogether"

PROMPT ACTION
Has Been Taken By the Upper

GERMANY AT SAMOA.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The chairman of
the house naval committee has written Sec
retary Whitney in relation to the Importance
of making an appropriation of Sl00, 900 for
che harbor Of Pango Pahgo, Samoan islands.
There seems to be a disposition on the part
Of congress, irrespective of politics, to do
everything in its power to place our govern
ment in proper light.
The prompt action of the senate will be re-
peated in the house. The wisdom of prepar-
ing by decided action for whatever emer-
gencies may arise seems to be the general
feeling of the officials. 1t is likely that before
the week is out our position will be stated in
language so explicit it will be impossible to
be misunderstood. 1t is not unlikely that
Whitney will charter one of the Pacific mail
steamers in San Francisco for us in the
Samoan matter. 1t is understood negotia-
tions are now going on with Superintendent
Bullay in New York and the secretary in re-
gard to securing one of the large steamers
used in the China trade.
Capt. Thomas, of Illinois, will follow up in
ihe house Sherman's vigorous amendment
to the consular and diplomatic bill, author
izing the president to spend $500, 900 to main
tain our rights in Samoa, by offering series
of resolutions declaring the opinion of con-
gress on the subject. Thomas is fighter, a
man of more than ordinary ability, and if
fitness weighs in the matters is likely to be
Harrison's secretary of the navy. He be-
lieves our navy is capable already of coping
with German war ships at Samoa, and if he
were secretary of the navy there is little
doubt our fleet would have opened fire ere
this. His resolutions have fighting ring
and will attract attention Of the country
and of the German foreign office even more
than Sherman's amendment He intended
to offer them Thursday, but was prevented
~ the early adjournment of the house on
account of the death of Congressman Burns.
