SAMOAN AFFAIRS.
The President Transmits to Congress
Recent Correspondence Thereon.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The. president
today transmitted to both houses of con-
gress report from the secretary of state
with late correspondence Since December
Il, 1885, exhibiting the progress of the dis
turbances in Samoa up to the present date
In the message of transmittal the presi-
dent says: I'm the midst of the disturb
ances which have arisen at Samoa, such
powers have been exercised as seem to be
within the executive control under the
constitution and laws through negotia-
tions and agreements with Great Britain
and Germany. These negotiations were at
one time interrupted by such action on the
part of the German government as ap-
peared to be inconsistent with their fur
Their continuance. Germany, however, still
asserts, as from the first she has DONE
that she has no desire or intention to over
turn the native Samoan government or to
ignore our treaty rights, and SHE still IN
vites our government to join her in restor-
ing peace and quiet. But thus far her
her propositions on this subject seem to
lead to such preponderance of German
power in Samoa as was never contem-
plated by us and is inconsistent with every
prior agreement or understanding, while
her recent conduct, as between native war;
ring factions. gives rise to the suspicion
that she is not content with a neutral
position.
Acting under restraints which our
constitution and laws have placed
upon the executive power | have insisted
that the autonomy and independence
of Samoa should be scrupulously pre-
vented according to the treaty made with
Samoa by the powers named and the
further agreements and understandings
with each other. / have protested against
every act apparently tending in the oppo-
site direction and during the existence of
internal disturbances one or more vessels
of war have been kept in Samoan waters
to protect American citizens and property.
Recent collisions between forces from
German man of war stationed in Samoan
waters and body of natives rendered the
situation so delicate and critical that
the war ship Trenton under immediate
command OF Admiral Kimberley was
ordered to join the Nipsic, already
al Samoa, for better protection of persons
therance of efforts TO restore order and
safety.
The view of the executive in respect to
the just policy to be pursued with regard
to the group of islands which lie in the di-
rect highway of the growing and import
ant commerce between Australia and the
United States, have formed expressions to
the correspondence and documents which
have thus been fully communicated
to congress, and the subject in its present
stage is submitted TO the wider discussion
conferred by the constitution upon the leg
lslative branch of the constitution.
The accompanying correspondence, re-
ferred to by the president, WAS not sent TO
the house, but accompanied copy of the
letter transmitted to the senate, and has
not yet been laid before that body.

HAITI FEARS A YACHT.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15.-The Record
says Stephen Preston, minister from Hayti
to the United States, came over from
New York to consult with Andrew Len
nox, Haytien consul here, concerning
several suspicious crafts which come
within the consul's bailiwick.
Mr.. Lennox, when asked about Mr..
Preston's visit. said he did not care to
talk about it. AS matter of fact the
object of Preston'S visit was to inquire
reason for the sudden activity on the
Vanderbilt steam yacht Alva now lying
at Wilmington. He was afraid she
might fall into the hands of
the insurgent Chief Hippolyte. 1t was
reported from Wilmington that the Alva
was going on cruise to the Madieries and
and the continent of Europe For some
reason this aroused the suspicious of
President Legitime's representatives in
New York and detectives were instructed
TO watch the Alva as well as several other
yachts at Wilmington and Chester. 1t is
well known that the Vanderbilts have
enough of the deep sea yachting and would
gladly sell the floating palace at figures be-
low the original cost. Whatever their in
tention may be it is certain che Alva is
now ready for steam and that her decks
have been the scene of much activity for
some days past.

THE POLICE WE'RE WRONG.
Judge Tuley Decides the Injunction Case
in Favor of the Arbeiter Bund.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Judge Tuley, of the
circuit court in decision rendered today,
holds that the anarchists and socialists
have not forfeited their constitutional
right to assemble peaceably and discuss
any question which interests them, pro-
vided they do not plot to carry out their
ideas by use Of force against constituted
authority.
The decision was the outgrowth Of an
application made in December last by the
Arbeiter Bund for an injunction to re-
strain the police from interfering with
their meetings, the progress of which case
has been reported from time to time in
these dispatches
Judge Tuley's decision, which is more
than 5000 words in length, begins by re-
viewing the history of the case, stating
the particular meeting which was made q
test case, was called for the purpose of
hearing the report of the Arbeiter Bund
committee on constitution and bylaws,
and of completing the organization; that
the only objects of the society, according
to the allegations of its constitution, were
to secure to itssmembers "mutual benefit,
social intercourse and political education, !"
the police were invited to be present, and
did actually. by show of force, prevent
I1e HoRilHS VI TIC pIOpOScu
ing on behalf of the city author
tiles. This interference is JUS
titled on the ground that the name,
Arbeiter Bund is mere cloak; that the
real purpose of its members is to plot TO
overthrow the constitution and laws Of
the United States and this state: that as
police officers it Is within their jurisdic-
tion to forbid such meetings in order to
prevent the commission of crime. The
chancellor says: II find no reason to differ
from the master in chancery in his concIu-
sion that the evidence adduced facts show
that the assemblage was for an unlawful
purpose. 1t was argued that the constitu.
ton shows on its face unlawful purpose
because of the condition of membership
that only persons of reputable character
who declare for abolition of the inhuman
wage system can become members"
The solicitor is in error in supposition
that the law upholds or demands any par
ticular system for carrying Cd industrial
enterprises. The master reports that there
was no evidence to show the meaning of
the declaration that the society favors an
abolition of the capitalistic system of eX-
plortation nor of a purpose to inaugurate
Il fight against it.
