The chief advantage gained by Amer
lean diplomacy at Berlin is the agree
ment of Germany to al election in Sa-
moa which shall decide definitely who
shall be king of the islands, The begin
ming of the international troubles was
that the Germans at Samoa deposed the
king, Malietoa. They did this against
the protest of the American consul, on
the plea that Malietoa could not preserve
order. Malietoa's adherents decided that
Mataafa should succeed him. The Ger
mans, however, favored Tamasese for
king, and there has been war between
the two parties ever since. By the agree
ment at Berlin among the three treaty
powers an election will be held. The
three, Malietoa, Mataafa and Tamasese,
will be candidates. The Samoans are to
vote fully and freely and elect one of
them king, and the powers will abide by
this verdict.

become skillful in the robbing profession,
he was arrested and sent to the peniten-
tiary twice-five years each term.
After leaving prison the second time
he decided to change from burglar to
bank sneak thief. He would watch a
cashiers window till the officials eye was
turned away moment: then, like fash
of lightning, he would insert a long.
slender hooked wire in through the
screen and claw out bank bills. He Sc
cured thousands of dollars in this way.
Once he saw August Belmont purchase
$as, 900 worth of government bonds. He
followed the banker to his office and
grabbed the bonds, and made off with
them while Belmont was changing his
coat. Another time New York woman
drew $500 out Of the bank. At the
sidewalk, just as she was driving off in
her carriage, man in an ink stained
coat with pen behind his ear begged
her pardon and asked for the package,
telling her the cashier had made a mis-
take in counting. She gave up the money.
But the clerk with the pen behind his ear
was Charncey Johnson, who walked in
the front door and coolly walked out the
back way with the lady's fortune. He
was never caught for this crime, but
compromised with the owner of the
money for $40, 900, returning the rest; to
her.
In all his strange career it was his
boast that he never robbed q poor per-
son and never struck blow. He had
iron nerve and courage and cunning that
seemed superhuman. He has stolen
over million dollars and gambled it
every cent away. He says he has some
times lost at gambling $40, 900 in a night.
1t was this passion that caused his down
fall to begin. He was the child of re-
spectacle parents in New York, was well
educated and had a good occu patton.
There was nothing to make Edm go
wrong except purely and simply that he
wanted to.
He has spent thirty-five years of his
life in prisons. In 1878 he was getting
Old, and thence on became a common
pocket book snatcher and petty thief.
Now he has lost all his nerve and skill,
and cannot even snatch pocket looks
any more.
There ought to be some place for him
to go to-" said the prison Inspector. Il
don't see what he can do for hin ,self
now; do you?"

The disaster at Johnstown has forced
upon cities throughout the country con-
Sderation of the painful question wheth-
er there are notartificial reservoirs above
their heads that may burst. The num-
Der of cities having such lakes for water
works and other purposes is unpleasantly
large. Boston's water supply is stored
behind four artificial dams, and another
Is il construction. The total storage of
these dams is 3,245, 100000 gallons. A
breakage would devastate Sudbury river
valley. In Berkshire county, Mass,
there is large number of dams and res
ervoirs to supply the factories. AT
Olear, N. Y, fishing club has a reser-
voir a third larger than that at Johns
town. Like that, too, it was followed
out from an old canal basin.

FOUR NEW STATES.
South Dakota, North Dakota, Mon
tana, Washington.

On, February %, 1889, the President signed
the bill creating South Dakota, North 5DaEo-
ia, Montana and Wilmington states of the
SOUTH DAKoTA.-'Che great prairie state, to
which the st. Paul, Minneapolis &c Manitoba
railway has three main lines, reaching Ellen
dale, Aberdeen, Huron, WATERFOWL, and
Sioux Falls. Go to South Dakota via the St.
Paul, Minneapolis d Manitoba railway and
pass through ST. Paul and Minneapolis en-
route.
NORTH DAKoTA.-There is grown the No.
hard cotch fife wheat; whose healthful Gil
mate nurtures the most vigorous and brainy
civilization on earth; where single counties
raise more wheat, oats and barley than entire
states; the soil of whose fertile prairies is
richer than the valley of the Nile; where the
Turtle mountain, Minot and Devils lake land
districts invite the home seeker TO secure
free home. Magnificent daily train service
to Fargo, Grafton, Devils Lake, Botttneau
and all other important places
MONTANA.-TreaSure in its mines of pre-
cious metals; wealth in its 100000 head of
ing larger yield of crops than any other
state or territory; the richest country per
inhabitant on earth; where prosperity Is
universal; which has the best paid labor in
the world; a balmy winter climate, caused
by warm winds from the Pacific. The st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway is the
only railroad passing through continuous
agricultural country from St. Paul and Min
neapolis to the Rocky mountains. It runs
through the great reservation of 100000
acres Of land; tree to- settlers IN the Milk
dance; no irrigation required; the only line
passing through Great Falls, with its 100000
horsepower cataracts; immense coal veins,
and Surrounding farming country of free
land; through Helena, the capital city and
commercial center of Montana, and Butte,
the richest mining camp on earth, to San
Francisco by the Columbia river valley,
Portland and Shasta Route, or Ogden, Utah,
to California points. Remember this is the
only line running dining cars, sleeping cars
and free colonist sleepers of it's own from St.
Paul and Minneapolis to Great Falls, Helena
and Butte. 1t is also the shortest line to
Butte.
WASHINGToN.-The country of tall timber,
indented by Puget Sound, the Mediterranean
of the Pacific. Do not forget that the St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway is the
only line which offers a choice Of three routes
to the Pacific coast. The Manitoba Pacific
route is the only line by which passengers en-
route for Tacoma, Portland and San Francisco
can pass through Fort Townsend and Seattle.
Free colonist sleepers run through without
change Or delay. Distance to the Pacific
coast is same as by other lines, but prices of
tickets are five and ten dollars less. Take the
Seattle route.

Irritating Arid Lands.

The United States government is now
making a survey Of the arid lands of the
west for irrigation purposes. The tilla-
BILE public domain has been nearly all &C.
cupied, and if we are to have any more
lands open to settlement, it will be in
sections where the soil must be watered
to make it produce.
The last congress appropriated $780,
900 to continue the survey, which will
include Montana, Colorado, New Mexico,
Idaho, Nevada and California. With ir-
rigation, much so called desert land has
proved to be very fertile The govern
ment work is divided into three parts,
the typographical, the hydraulic and the
engineering surveys.
1t is expected that irrigation can be
made by means of canals from the upper
Missouri, the Colorado, the Rio Grande
and other rivers Where the rivers can
not be utilized reservoirs can be con-
structed IN the mountains, whence canals
will convey water to desired points. In
old mining districts of California aban-
doned reservoirs and bitches of the
former gold diggers; still remain and can
be utilized
Meantime lesson or two on the sub
ject of irrigation can be learned from
the Frelch in Algiers. Many years ago
the American citizen John Ericsson,
invented q machine called the sun
motor The sun shining upon air con-
fined in cylinder heated it and caused
it to EXPAND Ericsson managed to
regulate this expansion so as to consti-
tute it motive power. But Ericsson
was never ID UGH regarded i'll his own
America. We had plenty of land that
needed irrigation, and plenty Of water
that needed to be pumped, but we did
not pay any attention to the gifted in
ventor and his Sun motor
The French, however, thought differ
emily. They examined the sun motor
and utilized it in Algiers, Today,
throughout that dry country, the Amer
leans machines are lifting water from
artesian wells, and thirsty travellers and
parched lands remember with gratitude
the name of John Ericsson.

Mexican Treaty with Japan.

Mexico has been i'll advance of other
civilized countries in making genuine
white mans treaty with Japan. BY the
agreement that has been ratified between
thetwo governments, Mexicans in Japan
become subject to Japanese laws. Here
tofore in China and Japan law breakers
from European and American countries
were tried at their own consulates by
what was called extra territorial juris-
diction, and tried by their own country
men. Mexico has abandoned this policy
and acknowledged Japan as civilized
nation by meeting her on equal terms.
Mexico fixes no rules or customs duties
in her commerce with Japan. European
nations and the United States still fix
such duties and make their own trade
regulations. In return for this liberality
Mexican citizens are allowed to travel

The ancient theologies Of Asia are
breaking up Of the old lines. Beliefs
there seem quite as unsettled as among
western nations. It is curious to find
that Buddhism, the state religion of
Japan, has split in that country into
twelve different sects. One sect breaches
materialism, another refined morality,
and third lofty mysticism. At the
same time, in spite of all these sects, per-
haps because of them, Buddhism in
Japan and in India is said by a native
Japanese writer to be on the decline
Christianity, however, is not taking its
place. Nothing is taking it's place. The
decline in Buddhism is said by the same
writer to be marked also in China. In
that country there are thireeen different
religious sects The disciples Of the Vel
low Llama follow Thibetan mysticism.

Who can answer?

Indian View of Land Ownership.
The Cherokees are the most civilized
nation in the Indian territory. They are
also very rich, and have men of really
statesmanlike ability among them. Their
leading newspaper is The Tah'equah
Telephone Its editor is Mr.. Shelton.
Recently The Telephone pronounced the
dictum of the Cherokee nation on the
question of dividing the lands into sepa-
rate farms with individual ownership.
1t began by saying that the Cherokees
had proved that Indians could become
civilized and still hold their lands in
common. The arguments in favor Of
continuing this system are summed up
as follows:
The Cherokees want to live forever as they do
now, and not like the white people who possess
their land In severaty and allow the rich to buy
all the land There are millions If whites who
have no land, because few men own It all; but
the Indians are wise-they hold tho land in com
mon, so that the Indian can stay il he wants to.
1t is because the land system of the white man Is
wrong that the Cherokees prefer to remain q ma
ton. Almost everything else the whites do Is bet
ter, and the Indian must follow him, but the land
system Of the Indian is the better. The Chesokees
are civilized and happy II tho wild tribes viii
get civilized they will be likewise and the govern
ment will not take the land away from them II
the Indian sells his, or allows it to be divided in
severalty, he will become wandering gypsy.
Let not the Indian be afraid the government win
take his lands for if he does not want to sell the
supreme court will hold his title good If congress
should attempt to force him to sell

mercial agent of the Manitoba at Pitts

1t is rumored that the Canada Pacific

possibility of any interruption to passen-
ger traffic by using American built rail-
way cars. .-:-
Recently the interstate commerce COM

regarding improvements in the manage
ment and operation of moving trains
and the manning of railroad property.
One of the suggestions received which

"A Ofsne NsssI Hero.

the most remarkable criminal record Of
any man now living. His name is
Chauncey johnson. He is nearly 70

the shrewd, keen eye and long, sharp
nose Of acquisitiveness. A little change

The Ohio Election.

The political situation in Ohio is pecu-
liar. At the state election in November
three constitutional amendments will be
voted on. The most important of these
is one proposing to change from annual
to biennial elections. There will be an
election every year, but state and county
officers are to be elected in November of
the even years, and city and township
officers In November Of the odd years.
City and township officers will thus be
elected In the fall, instead of in April, as
they are at present.
If the amendment carries, then, in
order to set the state running in regular
order, the governor and state officers
elected this autumn will hold Office three
years, instead of two. The officers that
will thus hold over are the governor,
lieutenant governor, treasurer, attorney
general and members of the legislature.
In and after 1892 these officers will hold
their places two years. -.
The amendment is popular among the
farmers, and it is expected to pass. The
point Of general interest, however, is
that if this amendment is carried the
legislature chosen this fall will elect two
United States senators.
The term of Office of the Democratic
Ohio senator, Henry B. Payne, expires
In 1891. His successor will be elected
next January by the legislature chosen
this fall. But if the constitutional amend
ment carries the same legislature will
also be called on to elect a successor to
John Sherman, whose time is out in 1893
II the amendment is adopted, therefore,
Ohio's senator's will be either both Demo
cratic or both Republican.
