United States.
A despatch from London says the article

From the Philadelphia Times.l

A society of young women Of the well-to-do
class has lately been formed in Now York
for the systematic study Of the Constitution
of the United States and of the time and
conditions whici1ed to its adoption. 1t Is
the purpose of these young women to leave
the study Of the customs, manners and in
stitutions Of foreign lands to those who are
ashamed Of being Americans, while they. by
special study become acquaintanted with the
history and spirit Of the system Of govern
pent under which they live.
These girls are not Of the strong-minded

THE STORY AS TOLD TO THE GERMANS
Concerning Their Recent Defeat by
the DespIsed Savages.
Rismarck's Paper Challenges our
Position Concerning Samoa.
Secretary sayard Quotes a Recent
Agreement In Reply.

WASHINGTON, Jan. PA despatch has
been received at the State department from
Mr.. Pendleton, minister at Berlin, In regard
to the Samoan question. Its contents are
withheld from publicity except extracts from
German newspapers, giving accounts and
commenting upon the fight in which so many
Germans lost their lives. The previous
languid tone of the press in regard to Sa-
moan affairs was quickened to fever heat by
the "Das Klene Journal of Berlin, of the
7th inst, which says According to official
reports from Apia Of the 2sth December, the
landing corps of the Olga was sent to accom-
pany the German consul to the scene Of the
war of the natives. In consequence of the
destruction Of German property and the
bodily insults to men of the marine while on
leave, the consul was going there for the pur-
pose OF insttuting an armament. On the
way co Boilele plantation the landing corps
OF the Olga was, BY. surprise, attacked by the
insurrectlonlsts under the leadership Of an
American named Klein. An advance being
thereupon made by the landing corps Of the
olga, cruiser Adlar and gunboat Eber, the
natives were thrown back, and several OF
their villages situated on the coast destroy
ed. Lieutenant Siegir and fifteen men are
dead, and Lieutenants Spingler and Bure-
hard and 50 men wounded.
1T Is victory, but costly one, not one
to be rejoiced over. German meddling In
the quarrels of Kings Mataafa,: Maletoa and
Tamasese has been hailed with rejoicing
from several quarters for the reason that the
final result Of the business was expected TO
be the occupation Of Samoa by the German
Empire. England and United States do not,
however, agree to such consummation and
now We have even lost number of men In
battle with the dispised islanders. This Is a
new leaf In the history of our colonial
policy-a laurel leaf, but what sort OF a
0ne?''
Other extracts are of the same general
tone. and indicate clearly the press opinion
that the Germans intended to compel peace
on the island by disarming the natives.

Matters OF Interest.
Ellsworth Gray and 45 other citizens Of
BooSsbay petitioned for law to prevent ths
seining, or catching Of menhaden within
three milespf any headland In Maine, and
further forbiadlng the operation Of any fac
tory within mae Of any settlement or resi-
dence. The reason for this the petitioners
represent. Is because the manufacturing Of
the menhaden has become a nuisance on ac-
count of the offensive odors, and because the
0ffal or chum In the water produces a Aim
that gathers along the shores, sticks TO land
ings and boats, drives of fish and makes
everyone uncomfortable.

the women who pay taxes. This fore
noon, In the House of Representatives

column of these supports. They came from
Stroudwater. and were headed by Andrew
Hawes, Esq, who with other gentlemen OF
