WASHINGTON, April John C. Klein,
correspondent of the San Francisco
Examiner at Samoa, visited Washington
twice last week, having been summoned by
the state department for the purpose of tes-
tifying in relation to the Outrages commit
ted by the Germans while he was there.
He also explained his connection with the
events leading up to the battle of Cagali
His testimony completely refuted the
charges made by the Germans against him
of having fired upon their sailors and
6S4sred the soldiers of Mataafa to do so.
The affidavits of Klein and Of three
of Mataafas soldiers, who were with him
at the battle, made before United States
Vice-Consul BlaklOck at Apia, will be
taken by the Berlin commissioners ap,
pointed by the United States. Klein had
three private interviews with Blaine. The
correspondent will not go to Berlin, at
least for the present.

SORROW OF THE SENATE.
The Senate Desires to Express its Profound
Respect for John Bright.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The Vice-Presi-
dent laid before the Senate Stewards reso-
luton expressing the profound sorrow OF
the Senate at the death Of John Bright.
Sherman suggested the resolution had
better be referred to the committee on
foreign relations, as its adoption might
establish a precedent that would return to
plague.
Senator Hawley remarked there was no
such occasion likely to arise again. If the
United States ever had friend in time of
need that friend was John Bright.
Hoar thought in this particular case the
Senate was safe, as it was not at all likely
the state of things would again arise that
would establish between the United States
and citizens of a foreign country such
peculiar relations of respect on the one
side and such tender and grateful affection
on the other, as existed in this country to-
ward the great English statesman who had
Just gone to his tomb HOar proceeded at
some length to recount the services of
Bright in moulding English sentiment in
favor Of this country during tae rebellion
and preventing its helping the south.
Sherman, while yielding to no ones re
spect for Bright, was opposed to the eX-
ample which the resolution would set. but
he would offer no obstacle to it, and would
Withdraw his motion to refer it.
Regain referred to the false step taken by
the House some years ago in passing reso-
luton complimentary to member of the
German reichstag and having it returned
disdainfully by Bismarck, and said he re
newed Sherman's motion to refer.
Stewart opposed the reference. He
eulOgized the character of Bright as a
leader among men, not by inheritance of
rank but by right of great natural endOw-
ments and high moral integrity, his public
life for nearly half century having been
conspicuous in heroic efforts to remedy
ancient abuses.
Hawley said the incident to which Rea-
gan referred differed in all respects from
the case of Bright. In that case, the per-
son commended had been engaged in bit
ter controversy with the government and
the House had directed copy of the resO-
luton to be sent to that government. In
this case there was no such proposition. 1t
was nothing to the Senate whether any
body thought of John Bright as che Senate
did or not.
Reagan's motion to refer was carried.
The e-president stated he was about
to vacate the chair for the remainder of the
session and thanked the Senators for the
courtesy they had shown to him. ingalls,
was then chosen president pro TEN and
took the oath as such. The Senate went
into executive session.

LIE RoULpE ADDRESSING
Home Rule.

LONDON, April 2.-William Phipson
Beale, Home Ruler, will contest the seat
in the commons made vacant by the death
of John Bright.
The Parneu commission resumed its sit
ting to-day. Sir Charles Russell opened
the case for the Parnellites. His remarks
thus far have been characterized by
singular moderation. He declared the tes-
timony of the $40 witnesses for the Times
to be irrelevant. He admitted that crime
prevailed in Ireland to a greater or lesser
degree. He said the collapse of the Times
case in the matter of the alleged Parnell
letters, abolished the pith and marrow of
the inquiry. The court was asked by the
Times to indict the whole nation, pro-
ceeding which Burke declared infeasible
Judicial rules were invalid when a whole
people moved. Thoughtful minds were
convinced the time had come to try the
experiment of home rule in Ireland.

A Disastrous Fire.

ST. PAUL, O., April "A special from
Bell, Ind, says the village of Mount
Pleasant was almost entirely consumed by
fire this afternoon. All the business part of
the town is burned. Every business house
and nearly all the residences are des-
troyed. The depot, together with about
fifteen or twenty freight cars and
four large elevators, are gone. The
loss is near 100000, with but
very little insurance and hundreds of fami-
lies left homeless and utterly destitute 1t
was caused by prairie fire which came in
from Indiana One hundred citizens from
Michigan went up to help fight the fire, but
a raging wind prevailed and their efforts
availed but little A special train carrying
provisions was dispatched from here to-
night.

after his departure, [ was attacked by gas
tritis and an abscess on the arm. After
months careful nursing l recovered and set
out again for Albert Nyanza, on April 2, &C
companied by Josephson and Parke. A
garrison was left at Fort Bodo. On April
% we arrivedin Mozambini's country again.
This time, after some hesitation, Mozam-
bini decided to make blood brotherhood
with me- His example was followed by all
the other chiefs as far as the Nyanza.
Every difficulty seemed now to be re-
moved, food was supplied gratis. When
one days march from Nyanza natives came
from Kavali and said white man named
Moleiia had given their chief packet to
give to me, his son. They remained with
US that night telling US wonderful stories
about big chiefs, ETC., which left no doubt
upon our minds that the white man was
Emin Pasha. Next days march brought
US to Chief Kavai. He handed me note
from Emin Pasha to the effect that there
had been native rumor that a white
man had been seen south of the lake.
How far west beyond the Congo the for
est reaches, Stanley does not know. The
superficial extent of the tract described
above is totally covered and is 246, 0D square
miles. North on the Congo between Upsoto
and Truwhimi the forest embraces.another
10000 square miles. Between Yumbaga
and Usanza Stanley came across five
dlSUlncJ languages at distance Ol
fifty miles from the camp. On
the Nyanza they saw a mountain
probably 1900 or $4,000 feet in height
above the sea, the summit covered with
snow 1t is called Ruevenzori, and will
prove rival to Veliwarriro. The natives
who had seen the lake to the south agreed
that it is large, but not so large as the
Albert Nyanza,
Emin Pasha has two battaliOns of regu-
lars, the first consisting Of $50 rifles and
the second of 60 Besides these he has
respectable force of irregulars.
In conversation with Stanley, Emin said
if he consented to so away from there they
would have nearly 10000 men with them
Emin was much worried to know how all
the women and children, numbering over
two thousand, could be brought away. He
and Stanley discussed the matter at great
length, but reached no conclusion. Emin
said the Egyptians, of whom he had 100
men besides their women and children,
would be very willing to leave, and
he would be glad to be rid
of them, as they undermine his
authority and nullify his endeavors for
a retreat. When he informed them that
Khartoun had fallen and Gordon Pasha was
slain, they told the Nubians it was u con-
cocted story, and that some day the steam
ers would ascend the river to their relief.
The men proposed, after Stanley's de-
parture, to visit Fort BodO. Stanley says,
in conclusion, that he instructed the officers
at the fort to destroy it and accompany him
to Albert Nyanza.

AGAINST SECRET SESSIONS.
Teller is Confident the Masses are With Him,
and Majority of the Senators.

anu u MdJOTlly VI Illt OtIdCOrS.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Senator Teuer's
proposition to abolish the secret sessions of
the Senate for the consideration of presi-
dental nominations, if not the direct out
growth Of the reports published of the de-
bates on the nomination of Halstead, was
suggested by them.
The proposition of the latter differs from
that made by Platt at the opening of the
F'iftieth Congress, in that it proposed that
only nominations shall be considered with
open doors, while Platt's resolution proposed
to abolish the executive session for any and
all purposes, except when by specific
motion it might be agreed that the doors
should be closed. The Republican Senators
say there would have been favorable action
taken on the Platt resolution, had it not
been for the eccentric work of Riddle
berger, which was incompatible with the
interests of the proposition.
Teller, when asked by an Associated
Press reporter to-day as to the outlook for
his resolution, said there is no doubt in his
mind it will be adopted. So far as he cln
see, there is very little objection now to
the consideration of presidential nomina-
lions in open session. He is confident the
masses of the people are in favor of it, and
equally confident, in view of the publica-
tiOns during the past week, that majority
of the Senators will vote for it.

Especial to THE HERALD-ExaminerD Dispatch
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Republican
Senator who votes against my nominees
will need letter Of introduction
next time he comes to the White
House." is a remark attributed to
President Garfield when the nomination of
William H. Robertson for collector at New
York, was under consideration in the Sen
ate in 1881.
President Harrison has not said exactly
this, but he has intimated to his friends
that the Republican Senators who voted
against Murat Halstead last week, will be
remembered, and their recommendations to
Office looked upon rather coolly. The Presi-
dent gave them ample opportunity to re
pent,l and he is not at all pleased with the
bellieerent spirit they displayed. He holds
that his refusal to withdraw the nomina-
ton after the first days discussion was an
emphatic notice that he wanted it confirmed,
and those Senators who persisted in voting
against the confirmation were guilty of a
serious breach Of party discipline; not only
those who voted in the negative, but those
who refused to vote will go on the black
list, and will get chilly reception when
they call at the White House. Already
some of them have resolved never to make
any more recommendations.
The two Illinois Senators, who refrained
from voting in the Halstead case, are
especially dissatisfied Senator Farwell
told the President last week that he should
urge nobody hereafter for appointment, and
that when the President wanted him he
would have to send for him. One OF the six
Senators who voted against the President s
wishes in the Halstead matter, said, when
he heard of his feeling against them: Il
wonder where he thinks his majority is
coming from if he ignores us. Senator
Quay is among those who voted against
Halstead, and if the President undertakes
to freeze him out, an interesting situation
is likely to come about"
The Senators have received notice that
the President does not desire to keep them
in session after to-day. Most of the nOmi-
nations on the calendar were disposed Of
juurn to day, unless there is a new contest
over a nomination The President believes
that if the Senate goes, a considerable pro
portion Of the Office seeking horde will go
with it, and leave him time to do some
practical work. There are a great many
important places remaining to be filled, in
Guiding two positions on the civil service
commission. one on the interstate COM
merce commission the superintendency of
the bureau of engraving and printing, the
public printer, and the cOmptrOllerS of the
treasury The President will have ample
[ Ane to consider these matters after the ad-
ioImment of the Senate, and to appoint
men who viii not have to run the senatorial
gauntlet until they have been tried in the
actual performance Of their duties.

WASHINGTON, April 2-The German YES
sells Sperber and Alexandra, which are now
on their way to Samoa to replace the
wrecked vessels, are not very formidable
ships, but at long range fighting would
have decided advantage over the Ameri-
can vessels, owing to their superior arma-
ment and speed.
The corvette Alexandra is of wood, iron
and steel, of 2,373 tons burden. She is of
fifteen knots speed. Her battery is made
up of twelve five and a-half inch four ton
breech- loading rifles; two three and half
inch revolving cannon, and torpedo
tube and equipment. The Sperberis new
cruiser of the composite type, 1920 tons
burden, fourteen and a-half knots per hour
speed, and armed with four and half inch
Krupp guns, four Hotchkiss revolving can
non and two torpedo tubes. Neither Of the
vessels is armored but it will be noted that
their speed is about 80 per cent. greater
than the American vessels ordered to Sa-
moa, and their guns of greater range.
