BIsMARCK's TRICK.
Tho Chancellor Has His Minister Use the
Malls to Gain Time.

Malls to Gain Tfme.
WASHINGTON, February IA 1t looks
now very mnch as if the Samoan confer
ence at Berlin will not be held by repre-
sentatives of the present administration.
Count Arco Valley, the German Minis
ter, called upon Secretary Bayard to-day
and informed him that the latter's answer
to Prince Bismarck's proposal for a con-
ference had been sent to Berlin by mail.
1t will reach Berlin about the Goth. The
German Foreign Office will probably take
several days to consider Mr.. BayaId's sug-
gastions, and its answer, if sent by mail,
would hardly reach this country before the
beginning of the Harrison regime.
There would seem to be no good reason
why the correspondence should not have
been conducted by telegraph, except on the
supposition that Prince Bismsrck's resort
to the mails is simply trick to gain time
in which to punish the Samoans before the
regulations at Berlin are begun. In well
informed quarters here there is strong
suspicion that Germany has already sent
reinforcements to Samoa to revenge the
killing of "a number of officers and men,
and it is not at all unlikely that we will
ultimately hear of another bleody battle.
If, however, Prince Bismarck is playing
fair, snd accepts Mr.. Bayard's proposal in
good faith, commissioner will be sent by
SIR. Bsysrd to represent this country at
Berlin, provided, of course, Prince Bis
marck's reply is received in time. Minis
ter PendletoD, though much improved in
health, is hardly strong enough to conduct
the negotiations.
A hitch in the matter, by delay or cor
respondence, may arise from Prince Bis
marks unwilliDguess to accept Mr.. Bay
aids proposal that Instructions to sus-
pend beliigerent action in Samoa" be tel
eeraphed at once to the German agents
and representatives of the other treaty
powers. It is thought to be quite posi-
BILE that Bismarck will insist upon repris-
ais by way of asserting prestige In the Pa
cifc and satisfying the national pride
which has been touched in very tender
spot by the defeat of the German landing
party by Matasta. Mr.. Bayard, however,
mas made most vigorous protest against
such course, and has already limited that
it would be scarcely worth while to hold
the conference unless Germany gave prac-
tical evidance of sincere desire 10 pro-
mote the restoration of peace in the islands
by foregoing her desire for vengeance.

NEW YORK, February 14.-The testi-
mony given by Ls CarOn, the English in
former, continues to excite interest in
Irish-American circles here.
An alleged letter to the informcr from
John Dewey, a leader of the revolutionary
party during the Fenisn rebellion in
1867, who is well known in Irish circles
in this city, was printed in a cable dis
patch from London yesterday. When it
was shown to Mr.. Dewey he said:
81 am not quite certain whether wrote
that letter or not, but if 1 did it fully ex-
presses my attitude toward the peaceful
movement of which Mr.. Parnell was then,
as he is now, the guiding spirit l am
naturally inclined to the adoption of a
physical force policy in in order to obtain
abe freedom of Ireland; but, as circum-
stances alter cases and as my native land
was in a poor way when the Land League
was organized in 1879, thought that it
might be for the advantage of all concerned
to give the form of agitation, TO which
Charles Stewart Psrnell had committed
himself, fair trial."
"Has it had, in your opinion, falr
trisl?"
"You can form your own Judgment on
that" Mr.. DOvey replied. This much l
will say for myself, however, that am

hood at all, will, so far from smirchlng his
character, in any way, rebound TO MS
