cessful.
The Senate on Wednesday, in secret ses-
sion, resolved to make public tho Samoan
treaty negotiated in Berlin last spring, and
the protocols showing the result Of each
days meeting Of the commissioners. Ihe
president says: am pleased to find In
this general act an honorable, Just and
equal settlement Of tho questions which
have arisen.
Secretary Blaine's letter TO the president
IL very lengthy. He begins by reciting
the fact that In confidential communica-
ton to the Senate on February "a last,
President Cleveland gave reasons why the
appointment Of the treaty commissioners
should be left to the incoming administra-
ton. The secretary says the commission
ers were told that the United States de-
sired q speedy aud amicable settlement;
that II maintained its equality Of right In
the disposition of the questions, but was
influenced as much by nm anxious desire
to secure to the people of Somoa the condl-
tlons of healthy, prosperous and civil
lied life, and was bound TO protect the In
tsrests of its own citiz ens. The subjects
q, to which the commissioners were in
structed fell under five heads:
First. they were directed to ask the
restoration OF the status quo I'm order t'
| remove the disturbance caused by the
| forcible intervention of Germany and Tho
deportation of Malietoa. This was not tt
ho an ultimatum. fH
Second, the organization of a stable gov
ernmental system for the islands, whereby

ponderating influence of any foreign gov

Third, the adjustment of land claims.

Oilln tho storm.

The Hamburg American steamer Rhaetia,
from Hamburg for New York, which put
In at Halifax for coal, has % cabin and
225 steerage passengers and 1000 tons
OF cargo besides mails. Mr.. Schnei-
der said that during the voyage
there was succession Of the most fearful
gales that the ship had ever met. On the
l4th and 18th the wind blow with hurri-
cane force accompanied by sea that was
fearful TO look upon. The deck was under
water all tho time.
At noon on the 18th II blew another hurri-
cane with a worse sea than before, but by
the judicious use of oil bags, which were
hung over the bows for twelve hours, the
steamer was enabled To weather the storm,
although outside of the charmed circle ol
the oil the ocean was like q boiling cauldron
Tho waves would rush on furiously to the
oil, then break and pass harmlessiy ovei
the ship.

the other day in one of the cloalrooms Of
the House, says the Washington cores
pondent Of the New York Tribune, when
the conversation turned upon the recent
conversion" Of the Pennsylvania states
man and his formal reception by baptism
into the membership Of a certain church.
Just then the well known figure of General
benjamin +. Butler passed the door. 1t
reminded someone at once of an episode in
Congress in the famous deadlock over the
civil rights bill, in which both Randall and
Butler were conspicuous figures.
The question of adjournment was under
consideration, and General Butler had
stepred over to Mr Randall'S desk for q
private consultation. Butler favored a
Sunday session. Randall opposed it.

some respect for Gods day, and don't

- O'Clock.

The Scientific 4meyieda is agitating the
propricty of changing our present custom
of dividing the the day into two halves, Of
twelve hours each. It says the custom
has not single feature to recommend it
and only serves To mystify, particularly
when a typographical error makes a train
leave at pm. instead of am Thousands
of dollars have been lost, time wasted and
engagements failed because of this, where
as, if the sensible plan of beginning at one
and counting up to q, were adopted, it IS
so simple that child need not 80 wrong.
OF course it would take a little while to get
used to the change and it would sound
rather odd at first to hear the preacher an
nounce services at 10 o'clock. or see
time table note the departure of trains at
l7;l0 or $3.50, but the people would soon
''catch on and any amount of worry, ,tr0u-
bic and misunderstanding be saved. Some
countries and several lines Of railroads
have already made the change and We look
To see the practice become universal be
fore long. The world moves and any
thing that will help it move with less iric-
ton will be gladly accepted by the peo-
ule
