HARRISON TALKS
rnem.elves-He WIN Give Them Such an
Administration - VIII Help Build
Up tho Material Wealth Of the
Country.

IxprasAro11s, IND., January 29.-Another
southern delegation called upon Genera
Harrison. Il consisted of @. G. Austin,
mayor, and A. W. Ruetin, city attorney Of
Decatur, Ala; Andrew G. Frey, mayor. and
F. Hummei, member Of the board Of alder
men, of New Decatur. They came to talk
over s'the new south" with the general, and
present him memorial from the officials Of
the two fast growing cities. They repre-
scented that the two places had increased
over 800 Per cent in the last two years. They
had a very FREQ and pleasant conversation
with the general he talking more than is
usual with him. He impressed upon them
that great part of the work Of bringing
better order of things about in the south,
depended upon the people there. and that he
would try, as far a. possible, to give them
such an administration as would help to
build up the material wealth of the country,
and would endeavor to put only the best
men to be found into Office: but that they
must do something; that it was with them
to organize among the younger class party
Of true advancement on the basis OF protec-
ton to American industries.
The general spent rather quiet day,
taking longer walk than usual In the AFTER
noon.
Among the callers were E. p. Ferry, of
Utah, a brother of ex-senator Ferry, OF
Michigan; John P. Young, of the San Fran
ciso Chronicle, and Mr.. Emmerson, the
messenger of Kansas, to convey the vote Of
the electors to Washington. 1t is probable
that General Harrison will go to Cincinnati
to attend the opening of the new chamber OF
commerce. :,
Mr.. Allison is expected. This visit is the
occasion of a good deal of conjecture. 1t
has generally been thought here that Mr..
Allison would be the next secretary OF the
treasury, but this visit here, following so
closely on the trip of Mr.. Garrison to the
east is deemed very significant. II Mr..
Clarkson should 60 into the cabinet, 1t
would be as postmaster general, or such L.
the impression here. Word has been re-
ceived here from some of Mr.. Alllson's
friends that he is very much averse to leav-
ing the senate, and that he would not con-
slider q cabiner Office. It is claimed that
those who are the nearest General Harrison,
that he is very anxious to have the Iowa
senator in his official family. and the out
come Of the visit will be watched for with
great deal of interest.

ton. It called out great deal of debate.
It seemed to be the general feeling that
some irrigation laws must be passed and
the only question was what was for the best.
As there was some doubt about tho consti-
tutlonaiity OF some parts Of the bill it was
referred to the judiciary committee.
The next bill was to change the mechanics
lien law or enlarge the scope of the old law.
1t gives the laborer a lien and also makes
it the duty of all parties to give notice to
the owner in writing that a certain amount
was due and II that was not done no lien

SAN FRANCISCO, January 29.-The Amer
lean schooner, II. L. Dieman, has arrived
here from the Marshall Islands, the place
of Punishment of Mslietos, the deposed
king of Samoa. Malietoa arrived at Jaliul
on Bonham Island about November 70, on
the German war ship Olga. He was &C.
corded the liberty of the island, but was
guarded by German soldiers and prevented
from holding any intercourse with white
people of JaIiul. Il. NJ. Morgan, United
States consul at Jaliul, endeavored to get
into conversation with the deposed king,
but was prevented from doing so. Malietoa
has aged considerably since being placed
in captivity, and he wanders aimlessly
about Jaliui, as if he had given up all hope
of escape,

The Status Quo Must be Restored.

Washington, D. c., January 29.-Repre-
sentative Morrow, of California, who is the
chairman of the sub committee Of the COM
mittee on foreign affairs, intends to call
the subcommittee together, and get to work
at the earliest opportunity. He says his
views upon the Samoan affair are positive,
and have been made known through the
resolution introduced by him in the house
last session. The status quo, at the time
the twenty representatives of the United
States, Germany and England met, he says,
must be restored; and this would neces-
state the replacement of King Malietoa in
the position from which he was 80 unjustly
removed by the German agents, and sent to
the Marshall Islands. This step, Morrow
insisted, must be a preliminary to any
further negotiations on the subject

For New NAVY.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 29.-In
its report upon the naval appropriation bill,
the house committee on naval affairs sum-
marizes tie present condition and future
prospects Of the navy. of this country. The
report says:
"With regard to new navy, congress
seems to have settled upon policy of ap-
propriating toward its construction about
St, OOO, OCO Per annum. Your committee be-
Iieve that thi. will build up navy as fast
as prudence dictates. Our navy department.
and our ship building are utilizing, as far
may be, by every means in their power, the
knowledge acql ired from the costly expert
ence of other nations, but they must acquire
experience of their own. Too great haste
on the part of the government would newt
tably result in confusion and waste, aud
most probably in combination instead of
competition among ship builders. Besides
it would be an easy matter in this country
to build ships more rapidly than We could
supply them With armament of domestic
manufacture. Even in England, with ell
their facilities, there is load complaint that
the government and all its contractors are
unable to supply guns a. they are wanted.
The manufacture Of a modern high power
gun is not only an expensive but slow and
tedious process"
