friendly settlement with America may be ex-
pected, based upon Prince Bismarck's proposal
for a Joint discussion.
San Francisco, Jan. 31.-The Samoa Times
newspaper, which the Auckland cable states that
the Germans have suppressed, was published at
Apia by an English subject named Cusack. A
number of copies of the paper were taken in this
city, and ever since the trouble began in Samoa
the paper was sought for for an intelligent sum-
mary Of the happenings in the islands The opin-
ions expressed by the paper were conservative, and
the journal was regarded as publishing unbiased
reviews Of the happenings in the recent battle
between the Germans and the Samoans.
The Tines declared that the latter did not
fire until the Germans had fired number Of shots
and killed two OF the natives The Germans have
not been friendly TO Cusack, and it is related by
the correspondent at Apia that on the night OF
December I 7 number Of sailors from the German
mcn-of-war Olga and Adler went ashore at
Apia and one of the chief subjects OF their search
was Cusack. The correspondent said: Cusaclr
had on several occasions criticised the Germans
in his editorial columns for their general conduct
in Samoa, thereby incurring their hatred. When
the German sailors came on shore, they began to
look for him, and he was obliged to go to the
British Consulate for protection. They, Of course,
did not venture to follow him there

this was surmOunted by floral cross
with the Grand Army motto, "F. C. L."
The interior of the tomb was mass of
flowers and evergreens so great as to
completely hide the casket. Chang
Yen Hoom, the Chinese plenipotentiary
at Washington sent floral device bear
ing his name. Meade Post No. l, OF
Philadelphia, sent a fine imitation of
the liberty bell in flowers, and many
other organizations also made floral con-
tributions. On the left side of the tomb
platform was erected, on which the
exercises were held. About 5000 people
surrounded and occupied the enclosure
in front of it. Commander George A.
Price opened the proceeding with
short speech, and then band played
Chapin's funeral march, Chaplain-in-
Chief Anderson offered prayer, and Rev.
.M.Buckley delivered the Grafton. The
Seventy-firSt regiment fired salute,
and the chaplain, Rev. JudsOn Cal

States man-Of-war Galena lay in the
river below the tomb, and fired five
minute guns during the services land a
salute of twenty y-one guns at the close.

GO TO KANSAS CITY.
Pickett and Sowders will DOff ST
Paul Uniforms.


Pickett and Sowders are sold. The
deal was closed with the management
yesterday afternoon and contracts
signed with the players. Manager Wat
kins, of Kansas City, originally offered
$500 for the two men, but when the
news got abroad that they were in the
market, Manager Barnes began to re-
celve teiegrams from half dozen cities
raising the Kansas City offer.
Barnes, therefore raised his price
to $500. but Watkins followed
him and promptly took him
up. The players then came in for a
round, and came pretty near breaking
off the negotiations by extraordinary
demands. Mutual concessions. how
ever, were made yesterday afternoon,
Pickett and S0wders signed Kansas City
contracts, and Edward L. Martin, repre-
senting the Missouri club, left for home
last night. Pickett is to receive $500
for the remainder OF the season, and
salary is to be $1,000, and he gets $500
in advance. Pickett will play his last
game in st. Paul this afternoon, and
the players will leave for Brooklyn to-
night. Shortly aftertthe transfer yester-
day afternoon Mr.. Barnes received a
telegram from A. j. Reach. Philadel-
phia, Offering q, 600 for Pickett's release
and salary of S3,O00eto the player.
Mr.. Barnes said he could better
afford to sell the players than keep
them, as, in spite of the fact thathe had
won almost every game, both at home
and abroad, the attendance at the con-
tests in st. Paul had been discourag-
ingly small. He says the people like
close games better than those in which
one team plainly Outclasses the other.
He does not expect to find short stop to
equal Pickett. as there are not. half
dozen such .'heady' ball players In the
country. He intends, however, to Sc
cure good player for the position as
SOON as one can be found, and he will
do considerable hustling to get another
good pitcher. He has signed DAILY, the
Minneapolis left-fieider, and will play
Farmer at short for a while. For the
present, Mains. Tuckerman and Muir
name. the likely st. Paul amateur, will
do the pitching. The team will be
watched closely, and if any marked
weaknesses are shown swift remedies
will be applied.

GOTHAM'S TRIBUTE.
An Immense Parade and the Usual
Floral Offerings.

New YORK, May 3O.-Decoration day
dawned dark and gloomy, with frequent
showers. Toward noon, however, the
skies cleared and the sun shone bright.
All business was suspended, and the
streets presented holiday appearance.
Flags t1oated at half-mast from all the
public and many private buildings.
The banks and all the Offices in the city
departments were closed. The feat
ures of the day were parade
by the grand army posts. Tonight
memorial services were held at the
Metropolitan Opera house. By 9 o'clock
this morning all the streets from Forty
Eighth to Fifty Third, on either side of
Fifth avenue, were filled by various
commands of the National Guard and
Grand Army posts, awaiting the signal
to start. The head of the column, led
by Maj. Gen. Howard and staff, started
shortly after 9 o'clock. The column
was headed by a detachment of regu-
lars about 500 strong. Following these
were a contingent of sailors and
marines from the war vessels
in the vicinity. Then came the
First Brigade Of the National Guard
of the state, followed by the Grand
Army posts. The posts were divided
into eleven divisions. The procession
was reviewed from the reviewing stand
at Madison avenue by Vice President

ONE OF THE EPISODES.
Old Soldiers Fight Over til
Graves of Comrades.

Old Soldiers Fight Over the
Graves of Comrades.
CHICAGO, May 3O.-Decoration day in
Chicago was marred- by an unusual
scene growing out of ill-feeling between
rival factions of old soldiers. In Oak
wood cemetery there are hun
dreds of Union and confed-
crate soldiers buried. 1t was
arranged that the decoration SER
vices were to be under the charge of the
Grand Army men, and special care was
taken to protect their rights, as two
years ago the Old Soldiers and Sailors
association had taken possession of the
grand stand and placed their flags over
the graves. The two organizations are at
swords point, it being claimed by the
Grand Army men that the members Of
the o. s. S. A. are expelled members of
the Grand Army, and, therefore, per-
sons with whom they cannot associate,
even in doing homage to the dead. AS
the train bearing the Grand Army men
was unloading its cargo Of living
Army guard had been placed
around the soldiers home plat,
Capt. W. II. Mahoney and his brother
drove up with two floral pieces, marked
''In memoriam o. A. and S. A. Camp
Douglas" One was for the Confederate
soldiers graves, the other for the Union
dead. Past Commander Mcdonald, of
the G. A. r. post Of Englewood, was in
charge of the plat. He stepped in
front of the Mahoney brothers.
"Get away from here; you can't
put any of your decorations here;
the Grand Army is attending to the
decorations" he said. 1--WE have as
good a right to leave tribute from the
o. S. & S. A. here as you have, and we
propose to do it." ''Well, you can't
bring it in here" replied the past
commander. The two brothers laid
down their floral piece, but Mcdonald
pushed them back. Then there was a
scuff1e. The MahOneys became desper-
ate. "We'll take that in or there will
be a dead man here" said one,
and. as some of the G. A. R..
men arrived, Mcdonald was per-
'suaded to allow it to be placed on
the plat. Threats were made that it
would be destroyed by the Grand Army
men. ''Then I'll kill the first man that
dares to touch it.n said one of the
brothers. The crowd approached. The
Mahoneys watched the piece awhile,
but no one interfered with it and they
drove over to the Confederate lot with
the other floral piece.

lowed by the Masons, Odd Fellows,
Ancient Order of United Workmen,

lie business of all kinds was suspended.

gational church, which will hold about
700 persons. and double that number
stood outside, being unable to gain adj
mission. The Grafton was delivered by
Rev. E. P. Holp, of Watertown. The
procession numbered not less than $500
persons, and was the most imposing
one ever witnessed in Milbank. At the
cemetery appropriate services were
held, and the graves of eight soldiers
decorated.
