THE SAMOA AFFAIR.
Prince Bismarck Proposes a Continuance
OF the Conference OF 1887.
The London Standard Says Nobody in Berlin
Fears There is Danger of War Between
Germany and the States.
NO DANGER OLE WAR

LONDON, Feb. 4.-The Standard IS
Berlin correspondent says: In spite of
an unmistakable muddIe with the Ameri-
cans nobody here fears there is any
danger of the Samoa affair leading to
war between the two nations. Germany
will in fact make friendly proposals
which doubtless the government at Wash
ington VIII finally accept German
officials in Samoa are not represented as
having exceeded and misunderstood their
instruction, but the last thing that a
Samoa official can be expected to confess
is the palpable fact that in the presence
of the strong feeling aroused in America
Germany has found it polite to beat q
retreat
WILL PROBABLY co TO SAMOA.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The navy de-
partment is informed that the United
steamship Mohican fitting ont at Marie
island navy yard viii be ready for sea to-
morrow and will proceed direct to Pan
anna, where it is expected she will
receive orders to join Admiral Kimberly's
fleet at Samoa
PROTECT AMERICAN INTERESTS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The house
NOhliliItCC Ou 1OI IN dhdliS LO-AltLy QG-
clded to recommend non concurrence in
the conference report on the senate
amendment to the diplomatic aud
consular appropriation bill. A number
of these amendments met with favor,
but the committee resolved to adopt the
course above outlined as best calculated
TO secure action upon the bill
The amendment appropriating $500 900
for the protection of American interests
in Samoa met with unanimous approval,
but viii be allowed to go with
the other amendments into the
conference with the case of the
amendment appropriating $500 900 for
establishing a naval station at Pago-
pago, Samoa. 1t was agreed that the
paragraph in the naval appropriation
bill relating to the same subject (and
much better in its terms) was better
framed than the senate amendment, and
in addition was placed in the bill where
it properly belonged, so it is likely that
it viii be adopted in conference if early
action on the part of the senate upon the
naval appropriation bill is assured.
CONTINUE THE CONFERENCE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The depart
ment Of state has received from Prince
Bismarck proposition for continuance
of the conference held within the city of
Washington i'll 1887. He proposes that
sessions of the conference be held in Ber-

1t was a room full of about fifty people
that met last night in private quarters on
Main street to talk over base ball and see
what could be done in the way of putting
club in the field for Fort Worth during
the coming season. Those present were
enthusiastic ia the business, and appear
Ell to be determined to be up to the
scratch when the Texas league
opens. No steps were taken to-
ward permanent organization of an
association, but the offer received from a
player in the North proposing TO come
down and work up the finances and man.
age the club during the season, was con-
sidered favorably, and advance money
was made up on the spot and viii be sent
him to-day. Different methods of rails
ing funds to carry on the war were dis
eussed, many Of which were feasible, the
most favorable received being one to sell
a hundred or more season tickets at So
each, the balance of the necessary
money (some $1,000 in alp to be made up
by subscriptions. Liberal offers have
been made by the street car company.

SPORTING.
Heavyweights Face Each Other.


BOsToN, MASS, Feb. Geo. Ian
non, of South Boston and Geo. Godfrey
the wen-known colored heavyweight
pugilist of this city, faced each other to-
night for fifteen rounds for purse of
$1,000 at the rooms of the Crib
club. There was a large attendance
OF sports, and more than 300 were unable
to gain admission. John L. Sullivan
acted as referee. LannOn was looked
after by Steve Taylor and Ned
Macaver, and Jim Godfrey and
Pete Mccoy seconded Godfrey. Lannon
began the fighting and in the first
ten rounds did practically all the lead
ing. In the fourth round Lannon ap-
paTently had his opponent nearly
whipped, but he failed to follow
up his advantage. In the fifth
round he landed n terrible blow
on Godfrey's jaw, bringing first blood e.
Godfrey turned the tables in the seventh
round by planting his left on Lannon s
neck, bringing him TO the floor. There
was mach bad temper shown by
both men, and much clinching
waS done. For the last five rounds
Godfrey showed to better advantage
than Lanonn, but both were weak and
their blows did very little execution. At
the end of the fifteenth round Lannon
expressed a desire to continue the
fight, but as the understanding
arrived 1T previous to the fight was
that in case neither contestant was
knocked out at the end of fifteen rounds
the match should be declared a draw
referee so declared it. Lannon weighed
lS5 pounds, and Godfrey was about ten
pounds lighter. The fight was with four
ouuce gloves

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
The Performance by the MiaeO Troupe Last
Night.

Night
There was fair audience at the opera
house last night to see the
Pantomime and speciality performance
given by the Miaeo company.
The tricks were good and some
of the speciaIties excellent. The
transformation scene was very good
The children viii heartily enjoy the per-
Torrance. The ringing down of the
curtain last night while a
little girl was rendering a
cornet solo was cruel in the
extreme. There were the best
of musicians in the audience
who say the performer finger
ing was excellent, the tone peEfect
and the playing for one so Yong wonder
full. Perhaps the manager of the company
would do better to let the audience say
when a number shall end. Ringing
down the curtain on one of the company
is a severe criticism on the management
