WASHINGTON, d. c., December "a
The president has transmitted to congress
the Samoan correspondents mentioned in
his annual message.
II. J. Moore, a leading American mer-
chant at Samoa, asking plainly the case Of
Americans whose land titles are endangered
by the instsIlnent of Tamaysee as kings and
the consequent control of the governments
by the Germans. He says the property OF
Americans is liable to be taken from them
on the slightest pretext, aud calls attention
to the needs of government protection for
its citizens.
Mr.. Bayard's proposition was that the ex-
ecutive branch of the future government of
Samoa should consist of council, com
posed of i've persons, viz: The king vice
king and three foreign ministers to be
chosen from the national cities of the three
treaty making powers and to discharge the
duty of minister OF foreign AFFAIRS minister
of the interior and treasurer.
Count Bismarck objected that IN couu-
try like Samoa where there IS population
of 200 white persons and native population
of $4,000, living IN the most primitive con
dItIOn, q division of the government into
separate branches is not at present prac-
ticab!e, and that the appointment Of three
white ministers would entail too great an
expense.
Bayard then proposed a government COM
posed of five members.
Bismarck replies tartly that he Is unaS.e
to regard such a proposition as suAcienL
ground for further negotiations.
The British government chips IN and de-
clares that at present Tamaysee is the king
de factO AID will be recognized as such.
Meantime the consulate OF the OnIt5d
States at tue islands complains that Ger
many Is running things to suit itself there.
He advices short aud sharp work. lie would
seize the whole Dot.
Then Bgv8rd lets England understand
that he sees no reason why the United States
should yield any part OF its existing eXclu-
sive consular jurisdiction over Americans IN
Samoa.
Bayard then notifies Germany that he
will recognize King MGIetO, assuming that
the other treaty making powers would pass.
Germany replies that 1t will take acJlon 20
secure lives and property OF German SUD
jeCts at Samoa.
Then follows complaint from com
mander of an American vessel to the effect
that Americans are suffering 1ndlgnlties ana
that the German feet there protects their
assailants. To this the German commander
replies that "this Is politics. refer you 10
the diplomats" WhereupOn Bayard asks
Germany to cooperate to secure an avoid
snce of friction or conflict of interests be-
tween citizens Of the two governments IN
the islands.
Germany replies that 1t does not care who
is king, only requiring that German inter
ests should be protected.

LONDON, December 22.-The summary
Reorganization Of the Honorable Artillery
company, involving the hasty withdrawal
of its arms, equipments, etc, following the
ungraceful. not to say disgraceful, conduct
Of the Prince of Wales in retiring from the
Office Of captain, has met with universal
condemnation and the most charitably dis
posed of the friends Of his royal highness
are constrained to regard his action as bear
ing a closer resemblance of that of an Ill
natured school boy than to the act of the
presumptive heir to the throne Of a great
nation. The members OF the company as
sert that they have been condemned with
out hearing and unhesitatingly. point out
the dangers to which England Will be sub
iected when theman who has thus displayed
so little tact and judgment and so slight a
seDse of justice shall be called to the throne.
Referring TO this phase of the matter, the
Pail " all Gazette says it is unfortunate that
the Prince of Wales should have fallen into
almost every conceivable blunder while
awaiting his inheritance. The example of
his perversity furnished by the artillery IN
cident will 90 Tar towards weakening public
confidence N his capacity to rule, since the
circumstance Of the present dispute closely
resembles many of the difficulties with
which he will have to deal when he comes to

Strange Cattle In "A BAD Fix-Others in
Good shape.
FoRr WORTH, Tex, December 24.-H. II.
Campbell, manager of the Malador Cattle
company of the Panhandle of Texas, and
one of the leading cattle men of the state,
was in Fort Worth and was interviewed in
regard to the reports of loss of cattle i'm
ported in northwest Texas.
He said that owing to a dFouth and con
sequent shortage OF grass IN many parts of
Colorado and New AeLicO a numb of cat
tlemen there had be0n induced 70 drive their
cattle into the Panhandle in the hope of Sc
curing better pasture during the winter, but
the northwestern part of the Panhandle had
suffered to some extent from the drOuth
and was covered with barely enough grass
for the stock already there. These imported
cattle having run on a drouth-BtrIcken
range during the summer we're almost dead
on their feet when they reached their desti-
nation, and finding c range already we'll
stocked they are in a bad fix for the winter.
The deaths SO far have been few, but
when the spring storms come up 1t is prob
abb that there will be great loss.
Mr. Campbell thinks that the winter will be
good, however. If so the loss will not be so
heavy as otherwise. The live stock will pull
through in fairly good shape, he says, hRv-
ing started into the winter better prepared
for its seventies tLan the strangers, the num-
Der of which reaches way up in the thOus-
sands.
