THE NORTHWEST
WAR ON CHICAGO MEAT.
The Farmers Of A Han County Boycott.
ting the Merchants of Lima,

LIMA, o., Feb. 3.-About three weeks
ago the Swift Bros, the Chicago meat
men, opened up an agency here for the
purpose of supplying the local dealers
with meats. With but few exceptions
all of the butchers use Swift's meat,
and the result is that the farmers OF
this county and vicinity who formerly
had a large revenue from supplying the
butchers with meat now have no mar
ket for their cattle, and they are rails
ing protest loud and long against the
Use Of the imported meat in conse-
quence.
Last night large meeting of the
farmers of Shawnee township was held, =,
and it was decided to boycott Lima and
transfer all of their trade to Orders
vile, seven miles south of this city,
Other meetings will be held in various
parts of the county this week, and the
results will probably be the same. The
merchants and business men are great
ly interested in the matter, as Swifts
threaten to open up retail shop if the
butchers refuse their meat, and give it
away if necessary until they are COM
PEELED to sell Chicago meat. The ques-
ton is very perpleXing.

The Samoan Trouble.


1
In the interesting letter printed in
our columns to-day from Samoa the
special correspondent of the World dis
tinctly denies the accusations brought
against him by the German Govern
ment and the Berlin Press. The latter
have asserted that IL was Mr.. Klein who
led the part Of loyal Mataafa men
which inflicted such a sanguinary de-
feat upon the detachments of German
sailors and marines on the 18th of De-
cember. Far from taking any active
part in the affray, Mr.. Klein was untir-
! ing in his efforts to avert blOodshed,
and, in view of the inability of the
LOyalist natives to speak any Euro
pean language, actually went so far as
to show himself on the bench in order
to warn the Germans that the Mataafa
men would repel by force any attempt
on their part TO land for the purpose of
assisting the Tamasese rebels. In act
ing thus The World correspondent ex-
posed his own life, as a few minutes
later both the German sailors and the
native rebels who were with them in
the boats opened heavy fire on the
Mataafa men on the beach. Mr.. Klein,
on being asked by the Kings followers
whether they could not return the fire,
distinctly refused to offer any advice
although he confesses that as a friend
of MahetOa he felt strongly on the sub
ject. Indeed he withdrew before the
conflict was fairly under way for the
purpose ofnotifying the American and
English Consuls at Apia of what was
taking place.
The true inwardness of the Samoan
business may be briefly stated: The
foreingn trade of the islands is in the
hands of three great foreign Planta-
ton Companies, which are gradually
acquiring by illegal means the whole
of the land. One of these companies is
American, another is English, while
the third and most important is Ger
man corporation in which Count Her
bert Bismarck, Herr Won Puttkamer
and number of other high but badly
paid officials at Berlin are financially
interested. For the past ten years
internal troubles and civil wars have
been fomented and fostered for the pur-
pose of inducing the warlike natives to
sell their lands for the sake of rifles and
ammunition. Thus the American
Company has just forced the lOyalist
Mataafa men to sell and mortgage their
lands for the purpose of buying Snider
cartridges at IL cents apiece, 20 cents
having been at first demanded, while
the German Plantation Company has
sold obsolete muskets cOnfiscated from
Marshall Islanders at the rate of $3.50
apiece to the Tamasese rebels. By
these practices the German Company
has acquired over two hundred thOus-
and acres of land in Samoa. The treaty
obligations prohibit the sale of arms
and liquor to natives, and it is certain
that If the stipnlatiOns were strictly en-.
forced there would be no Samona ques-
ton. At the present moment the
international relations between the
United States, Germany and England
are strained to the utmost for the mere
purpose of putting a few dollars into
the pockets of uncrupulOus men at Ber-
lin in London and in this country at
the expense of the unfortunate Sam
O8DS.
