BAYARp AND BISMARCK.
Correspondence Between the German and
American Premicrs Made Public.

Correspondence Between the German and
American Prenicrs Made Public.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The president
has transmitted to congress quantity
of correspondence regarding the Samoa
dispute and protocols of the conference
of 1887. In his formal letter OF trans
initial to the president, Secretary Bay
ard says that the governments of Ger
many and Great Britain have consented
to the publication of these joint proto-
coils. The agreement to consider the
discussions of that conference confden-
tial, the secretary says, has alone caused
the papers now sent to have been, up to
this time, withheld from publication.
A telegram from MI. Pendleton on Feb.
informed the department that the re-
ported action of the German consul at
Apia, who against the protest of the
British consul had declared foreigners
under martial law, was contrary to in
structions and he had been rebused, and
that the German government would adj
here strictly to the treaty status.
Mr.. Pendleton added that this state
ment from the German secretary of state
for foreign affairs anticipated the repre-
sentations Mr.. Pendleton was instructed
to make, and he would therefore with
hold them for the present.
The correspondence on the part of
Bismarck disavows any desire on the
part of Germany to gain any ascendency
in the conduct of affairs i'll Samoa, and
that the chief object at the present time
should be to stop the bloody conflict now
going on between the natives of the
island. He believed that the best way
to do this was to resume the conference
between the three treaty powers, and
suggested that the next conference be
held in Berlin. Prince Bismarck also
stated that in praclaiming martial law
on The islands the German consul had
exceeded his instructions and had been
re,5uked.
On Secretary Bayard's part the cor
respondence was in the nature Of an
acquiescence in the request for a resunfp-
tion of the conference at Berlin; nd an
assurance that the United States would
have a representative on hand at the
appointed time. He also thought that
the sooner the conference was resumed
the better. Mr.. Bayard also suggested
that the fact that conference was to be
held should be communicated at once to
the warning natives through the repre-
sentatives Of the three governments, and
a cessation of hostilities asked pending
solution of the questions involved. A
complete history of the matters under
discussion at the previous conference
was also transmitted with the later cor
respondence.

Too Many Already,

Flandrau Enterprise: There are
already more public institutions in
South Dakota than the state will be
able to support decently. There are
now in south Dakota five territorial
educational institutions, not including
the deaf mute school in Sioux Falls
nor the reform school at plankinton.
These five institutions have received
in the past two years for support and
for new buildings ETC., the enormous
sum of $4,000 in round numbers. OF
this sum about one-half was for new
buildings and the other half for sup
port. The charitable and penal institu-
tions in south Dakota, received nearly
$420,000 during the same period. All
of the institutions, educational,
charitable and penal, are asking
increased amounts for support to say
nothing of what is asked for new
buildings. 1t is certainly time that a
halt was called. We have enough edu-
cational institutions now for the state
with million and a half of people, and
it would require that many people to
support them properly. Under existing
circumstances they will have to trim
their sails and get along in quiet
way until the state of Dakots. in tu-
ture years catches up with them.

TARIFF TALK TABLED.
1t Is Not at ALI Probable the
House Committee Will Re-
port a Bill This Session.
In Such Case Revenue Legisla.
ton Will Remain in Status
Quo Another Year
A Message to Congress from the
President Regarding sa-
moan Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE indica-
tions now warrant that there will be no
revenue legislation at this session of con-
gress and possib1 y none within a year.
1t is not probable that the ways and
means committee will bring in any
measure which differs materially from
the original Mills bill, reports to the con-
trary notwithstanding. Members say,
however. that they will surely make a
report to the house in time for action at
this session. The committee at this time
does not know what form of report it
will make. If the matter is brought to
a vote in the house, of which there is
some doubt, the leaders of the Mills fac
ton think that they can hold all but a
very few Democrats to the support of
their bill, in which case both the Mills
bill and the senate substitute will go to a
conference committee and most likely
expire with the Fiftieth congress-. The
members of the ways and means COM
mittee excuse their decision not to bring
in compromise bill by the assertion
that no offer of a compromise has come
to them from the friends of the senate
bill. Such an offer, if it comes at all,
will probably come after the committee
has made its report and the matter is in
the hands Of the house.

The Mother Love.

Sioux City Journal: Some years ago
the visitors who went on Saturdays to
the penitentiary at Fort Madison would
see at certain time a lady in the office
of the warden. She was always yelled
and dressed in deep black. by her side
there would be a convict, a hoy hardly
seventeen years old, a slight, handsome
lad, whose frank face seemed in strik-
ing disharmony with the degradation
OF the stripes he wore. 1t was mother
and son, aud he was indeed hard heart
ed who could witness their meeting or
their parting when the allotted time al
lowed by the prison rules for such in
terviews had expired. The mother
lived at a distance, but every week.

again TO see, to cheer and to help her
boy, TO wiring her heart with fresh
agony, for she was proud of high sta
tion in society, but to show that there
was friend in the world to remember
and to sympathize. 1t has been years
since that boy was released from the
prison walls, and he is today prosper

heads high and plume themselves that

WILL TAKE MILLIONS.
The Nicaragua Canal Will lie as Costly n.
the CGLcnsc.i I,nn,1n, Hro;ac.

IAe N;caragu. Canal Will Eie as Costly as
the Collapsed Panama Project.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-With refer
ence to the Nicaragua canal, which has
received the endorsement of congress, so
far as the passage of bill to incorporate
company to build it may be considered
an endorsement, it is stated that among
the incorporators there are many SUBJ
s,antial business men OF high standing
and large resources, but they are not
putting much money into the scheme.
Conservative men who have looked into
the matter, and who choose to talk
plainly, say they see little in it that looks
better than the Par ma project that has
just collapsed. Civil Engineer Menocal,
OF the navy, who has made the surveys
and negotiated the concessions with
Nicaragua, has fguc cd the cost down to
1854 100000. and regards $50 100000 or
sl00,00000O as an estimate with wide
enough margin for every contingency.
Professor Nourse, of the navy, who has
spent much time studying the Suez,
Panama and Nicaragua canal projects,
is greatly interested in the last and
believes it practicable and in every way
superior to the Panama route, but he
laughs at NonocaPs estimate of the cost
and says it will take s200.OO0,O 900 tomake
the Nicaragua canal. The obstacles in
the way of the Nicaragua canal are al
most as great as those that defeated De
Lesseps. Less cutting is required per-
pendicular]y, but more horizontally.
There is the same enervating and un-
wholesome climate that there is at PAN
anna. The canal will cost thousands of
lives and an immense waste of money in
furnishing new victims for the fever.
San Juan is as deadly as Panama. There
are malarial swamps and uncertain sands
to be dealt with. Involving more finan-
cial risk than all else is the Nicaraguan
government, changed at regular inver-
walls by corruption and at irregular inter-
walls by revolutions. Only four years
ago the United States senate voted $780,
Gee to buy an extension of the lapsed
canal concession from the Nicaraguan
officials. No one can tell what onerous
conditions may be thrown on the canal
company or what obstacles may be
thrown in its way at the instance of
specuiators who may have %250,O00 for
the Nicaraguan officials, or by the Mic
araguan officials for the purpose of bleed
ing the canal company.

The legislature seems determined
to dig its own grave, if this is possible
by making appropriations. 1t was
thought the example set by the last
legislature in this respect would not
soon be initiated, but this seems to be
mistake. The ms.nbers no doubt re-
gard this as their last chance at the
public loaf and are disposed to get as
much of it as possible. Upon the mat
ter of appropriations for public build
ings, etc., the Argus-Leader has the
following;
Every dollar appropriated for these
uses by the present legislature is un-
wisely and foolishly spent. 1t is bad
business and poor politlcs. 1t will
only lay up family unp!easantness
against the great day when the estate
of the dead territory is probated, and
the two daughters begin to fight for
the property. Ii the legislature has
wisdom of any sort it will see the
trouble in which it is involving the
territory and stop while it is not too
late

Time it Came to AN End.

Farm, Stock and Home: The Mich
igan legislature is considering a law
to reduce the maximum passenger
rates to two cents q mile. The rail.
roads say if that is made the legal rate
they will issue no passes, make nc
special or excursion rates, and charge
everybody, high and low, the lawful
stipend. "Consumation deyoutlY to
be wished" Quite too long have rail.
roads made the poor man pay the fare
of the rich one. 1t is time railroad
discrimination against the pauper and
in favor of the prince came to an end
1t is the duty of every state legislature
to fix maxium passenger rates so low
that special favors to those who are
abundantly able to pay their way will
be impossible.

A Washington special from f. !

A Washington special from Il. A.
Carle says there is nothing in the disa-
greement of the conference committee
to elate or discourage the friends of
the bill, that it is merely an incident
in the regular custom of such confer
ences. There are several things IN
connection with the conference which
go to prove the correctness of this as
sumption. There were but two mate.
rial points upon which the committees
failed to agree-the refusal to with
draw New Mexico by the house COM
mittee and the determination on the
part of Mr.. Platt and other members
of the senate committee to refuse to
make provision for another vote npon
the question of the division OF Dakota.
Another conference will be held
shortly at which it is to be hoped less
bitterness of feeling will be mani
tested, in which case there is every in
dication that more favorable result
will be reached. II this fails all at
tempts to secure admission by this
congress will be abandoned.
