The republican civil service retormers OF
Indiana have met, and declared Mr. Cleve-

Nobody seems to know positively whom
Gen. Harrison viii select for his cabinet
but it may be stated, with a good deal OF
confidence, that three of the members will
be Mr.. Blaine, Senator Allison and Mr..
Wanamaker, Gen. Harrison can't very
well refuse to appoint Mr.. Blaine, who is
the most popular man in the Republican
party, and who would mako matters I'M
pleasant if he should be left out, nor can he
afford to ignore Mr.. Wanamaker's claims,
since Chairman Quay urges them; and he
seems to be really DESTROYS of making Sena-

the Commission, and, second, the Times

not been enabled TO play the parts OF

Lord Salisbury that the letters would be

the rules OF the game, and 1t must pay

THE SAMOAN TROUBLE.

BERLIN, Feb. 4.-Tho Berlin Post re-
prints an article from the Weser Zeitung
on tho Samoan question, and remarks
that In many respects the views therein
taken are correct. The article rejects
the supposition that the Government
came to terms with America owing TO
Germany's position in regard to France,
and says:
Neither under the present nor under
any other circumstances would Germany
have risked n rapture with America for
such q bagatello. The Samoan white
book shows that wherever the actions OF
German officials were repudiated II was
because the officials acted contrary
TO international law. The press critf.
cisms evoked by the white book were
almost entirely directed against the ex-
cessive zeal displayed by the German
agents who appeared TO DO lacking in

In dealing with the situation. The
