SAMOAN SETTLEMENT.

The treaty now understood to have
been agreed upon by the Berlin confer
ence has been foreshadowed by former
cablegrams, and is substantially in the
line of the proposition first made by ex
Secretary BAYARD and subsequently
incorporated into Secretary BLAINE's
instructions to the American commits
sioners. MALIEToA MATAAFA is to
be restored to the head of the Samoan
government, the local Offices are to be
filled by natives. the rights of the Brit
ish, American and German governments
respectively are defined and to be OBJ
served, and all questions in dispute are
to be submitted to and decided by
court of arbitration consisting of Ger
man and American representatives. and
a representative of the British govern
ment to act as umpire in case of dis
agreement. The terms of the treaty
are equitable, and there can scarcely be
a question of the purpose of each of the
three nations interested, to see that it is
faithfully observed.

HE IS GOING 1T.

WHITELAw REID didn't want the
French mission, but as it was HOBsoN's
choice with him-to take that or stay at
home-he has made up his mind to
make the most of it. His first move
ment in his high field of diplomacy, is
in keeping with our American ideas of
how to live abroad. He has leased the
magnificent palace of the Countess de
GRAUAfoNT for which he pays $1,000
year rent, and will make that his abode
during his diplomatic career in the
French capital. It is evidently his pur-
pose to paraIyze the giddy Parisians at
the first blow, and will give them some
lessons in fopperies and social follies
that they will remember. Minister
Reds diplomatic style will be in brill
liant contrast with old BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN's simplicity and stern
dignity, and it will be away beyond
anything that old HORACE GREELEY
would ever have thought of. All Of
which goes to demonstrate that this is a
progressive age, and that American
snObdom rolls along with the tide.

FRANCES FUTURE.

MAX O'RELI., the tourist and face
tious Frenchman who has printed so
many pleasant absnrdities about this
country, expresses the opinion that the
French republic will not continue much
longer. and that it will be followed by a
CESAR, who will not be BoULANGER.
That country hasn't had much of a
CESAR since NAPOLEON l., and there is
no material in sight for good imitation.
MAX probably infers, mainly from the
history of the past century, that the
present government will follow the fate
Of its predecessors. II would be in
greater danger if there was any ambi-
tious leader who could focus and hold
the popular mind. The French have
learned a good deal in the hundred
years, and better understand the scope
of a popular government. The Bour-
bon element has lost its vitality in q
great measure, and the republic has
shown ability to weather storms that
would have wrecked its predecessors.

A Lively Old Custom.

Reading (Pa.) Special to the New York Sun.
A strange sight was witnessed at the
water trough in the livery stable of
Harry Levan in this city the other day.
A young man named Moore, who had
hired a team, returned to the stables,
when it was noticed that the horses had
been overdriven and abused. Without
any ceremony the young man was lifted
bodily and thrown into the trough. His
best Sunday suit was ruined. This Is
an old custom IN Eastern Pennsylvania.
One Of the veteran liyerymen of the
state is Hiram Schiller. At his extern
sive stables in Reading the men in
charge frequently throw dudes into the.
horse trough. Sometimes customers,
after using teams, have no money to-
pay their bills. Those who are pro-:
fessional beats are invariably thrown
headlong into the water, summer or
winter, if they fail to pay their bills, or
if they return the teams in bad condi-
ton. In this way the liverymen have,
more satisfaction and are more pro-
tected than If they went to law. 4;

WHERE PROTECTION FAILS.

The Pennsylvania iron men are be-
ginning to discover at last that the
country is suffering from an overdose
OF protection. The prediction made last
fall that the iron industry in Penusyl-
vania would again flourish like green

has not even approached fuiflment. On
the contrary, the iron business has been
steadily declining in Pennsylvania ever
since the election, and low tie great
iron masters Of that state stand in mute
establishment. wondering what the end
will be. A new danger threatens the
Pennsylvania iron industry that was not
foreseen, as resultof the success of the
protection principle, and that is the de-
velopment of the iron fields in the south.
Alabama has suddenly risen into prom
inence as Pennsylvania's great COM

ditions for making cheap iron. is likely
sooner or later to drive the Pennsyl-

FREDERIcKsBURG, Va, May 3d.
Deputy Sheriff Mcdaniel, of King
George county, Tuesday went with a
writ Of ejectment and undertook to re-
move Charles Peyton. negro squatter,
from tenement house belonging to
Charles Marmaduke. in the above
county. When the sheriff arrived at
the house and made known his visit
Peyton entered the house, and in few
moments returned with double-bar-
relied shotgun. and leveling it at the
sheriff forced him to leave, following
him some distance from the house, and
when leaving him said: IF you
come back here again you will
get the contents of this gun" Some-
time afterward the sheriff returned with
a posse and also with another warrant
for the arrest of Peyton for resisting an
officer. Peyton, who saw them coming
fortified himself and defied arrest with
his gun. While the officers were decid-
ing as to the best means to pursue Pey-
ton set fire to the house with his family
in 1t. He escaped through a rear door
and took to the woods while the sheriff
and his posse were rescuing the family
and trying to save the building. The
family was rescued but the building
and furniture entirely destroyed.
The sheriff and his posse then left the
scene. After procuring another war
rant for arson against Peyton, they pur-
sued and captured him yesterday. He

BURSTING THE BARONS.

The committee of the house OF repre-.
sentatlves appointed to investigate the
labor troubles in the anthracite coal
regions, recently filed their report, in
which they show the exact status of
the coal barons. and how it is they are
enabled to practice their cruel extor-
tions upon the people Of this country.
The anthracite fields are comparatively
limited. being included in territory
comprising about 40 square miles,
smaller than an average Western county.
These fields are owned and absolutely
controlled by seven corporations. which,
by virtue of their monopoly, tax every
home and every industry in the
land. Small as the anthracite terri
tory is, great part Of it is
yet wholly undeveloped, and 1t is
noted in connection with this fact
that the strength of the monopoly does
not lie so much in the mines worked as
in the opportunities forestalled. The
coal barons are in a condition to prevent
anyone else from opening the mines,
because they own the territory, and the
state authorities abet their eXtortion by
permitting the idle coal fields to escape
all but nominal taxation. In view of
this fact the congressional committee
suggest as remedy for the coal extor-
ton that the state of Pennsylvania tax
these idle coal lands at their market
value, and by doing so force the holders
of these lands to work. sell or lease them,
which would tend toward free mining
in coal at a competing royalty. and a
more abundant output. The present
policy of the state is to put a premium
upon their disuse. In recommending
an application of the taxing power of
the state, the committee say in their
report: "It seems that if there is any
land OH the earth that ought to be
taxed at its full warranted value, if
necessary to secure free competition in
developing its capability to add to the
comfort and happiness of the human
family, that land is the 472 square miles
of anthracite in the state of Pennsyl-
vania. Certainly, no seven corpora
tons should ever be permitted to stand
guard over an ineXhaustible supply Of
necessary of life, and dole it out at a
monopoly price when benefcent Gre
ator intended it for the use of all with
out eXtOrtiOn.0

then in work On the Savannah river.
He bid for the contract but was under
bid by R. S. Burnett, now United

Ky. Gen. Gilmore recommended the
acceptance of Burnett's bid, but Green
went to Washington and had the con-

and along the coast, to resume work

and told him if he would accept an ap-

would give him $50 a month ex::

Carter, and after an interview with
Green and Carter he resigned and is
now doing engineering work for the
