Officisls on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, Aug 8.-THE CALL cor
respondent had an interview with Assistant
Secretary of State Adee to-day concerning
PagO Pago harbOr. Being asked If there
were any new developments Mr.. Adee said
What developments should there be? This
affair is all in the newspapers. The United
States has no exclusive rights in Pago Pago
harbor. We had the privilege of selecting
land for coaing-statiOn ana Great Britain
by treaty with Samoa one year later, was
gwen the privilege of also establishing a
eoaling station after the United States had
made her selection. We have already pur-
chased our land there and Great Britain
now proposes to avail herself of her priyi-
lege That is ali there is to it."
But isn't 1t true that there is no limit TO
the amount OF land the United States may
purchase IN that harbor under her treaty
made with Samoa In 1882"
" That may be true" said Mr. Adee; "but
we bought all the land we wanted some time
ago. These options are not to be held open
indefinitely"

OF gold into the United States for the pur-
pose Of purchasing goods. Assistant Sec
rotary Crounse says that gold dust ia ex-
empt from duty and no consular invoice is
required. The department is Of the opinion
that no formal entry thereof should be re-
quired where 1t is brought in on the persons
OF passengers, but for the purpose of secur-
Ing statistics OF importations they should
be required to report to the inspector the
amount Of gold in their possession.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Edmund Yates
special telegram to the Tribune from
London says: Lord Salisbury, In addition
to his public anxsties, is at present a
victim to domestic worries. The Queen
has again offered him a dukedom, which
be refused In 1887, and now he again wishes
20 decline. But Lady Salisbury and several
members of the Cecil family are most de-
sirous that he should accept.

morning till night ever since his arrival In
London. His house was besieged by appli-

to take exceptional measures in order 10

rank and file Of the party came in swarms,
each man pressing his own claims for Office

beggars wanted at least TO be head Of de-
partment, If no place could be found for
them In the Cabinet.
1t Is mistake to suppose that Gladstone
complacently regards SirWilliam Harcourt as
his alter ego. He has no confidence whatever
in the member for Derby. and only tolerates
him because he cannot possibly throw him
over, aud also because he is rather afraid of
him.
Joun morley now passes most oil MS time
with Gladstone, and maintains his part of

In everything. Gladstone's domestic circle,
who urge him to persist in undertaking a
TASK beyond the powers of man of his age,
consists OF Mrs. Gladstone, his daughter
Mrs. Drew, his son Herbert George
Armlstead and Stuart Rendel, who compete

1he Most or Which They Used to Pay
Up Old Debts.
1t Is now thought the robbers secured no
more than $500 by the train robbery, Ieav-
Ing the two men no more than 500 each
to escape with, as they paid number of
debts here.
All but two OF the Visalia posse in pur-
suit Of the robbers have returned, the last
coming In this morning.
Detective viii Smith has returned from a
trip to Dunlap, Fresno County, and Samp-
son Flat. Near the former place he secured
letter addressed to George Constant, now
in Jail under the name of Sontag The
letter was from his wife at Mankato. Minn.
and it urges that he send her money, as she
needs ii.
Smith also found 20 sticks of dynamite at
the Evans mine and cartridge.
George Sontag has played the single man
at ViSalia and has kept company with sew
eral young ladies.
Detective Smith thinks the robbers will
cross the mountains to Inyo County, and
to-day Is making preparations to go there
and head them off. Few of the officers
agree with Smith in this opinion, but think
the robbers will stay in the mountains east
OF here, where there are many safe hiding
places.
An effort was made this morning to or
ganlZe party to go to InyO County with
Detective Smith. Those approached re-
fused to accompany him. saying they had
no confidence in him.
The hills will be full OF men tonight
again. and the pursuit will not be aban-
doned until the last hope is gone.
Sheriff Kay is confident the robbers will
be captured, though it may be several days
hence. He starts for the mountains to-
night with q picked men, well provided
with provisions.
al Witty of Fresno, a brother to Deputy
Sheriff Witty, the wounded man, with
three other men, went in pursuit of The
robbers to-day, and have not yet returned.
Nothing is known of their whereabouts.
Deputy Sheriff Witty is still cheerful
He has pain in his side, and there Is some
fear of pneumonia. As soon as poss bic he
will be removed to his sisters in Alameda
County to get out of this hot country.

AMERICAN SHIPS.
Contracts Awarded to the Cramps to Build
Two Ocean GreYhounds


NEW YORK, Aug S.-Acc0rding to the
Brooklyn Eagle one of its reporters to-day
asked Mr.. Dailett Of the firm owning the
Red Line of steamers about the rumor that
the Cramps of Philadelphia had secured
contract to build ocean greyhounds to beat
the record of the City of New York and the
City of Paris. Daliett said: "The con-
tracts have been signed. l saw Charley
Cramp at Philadelphia few days ago and
he told me the drawings and specifications
had been made. The contract calls for two
stood that three such vessels have been con-
tracted for"
Dallett said further: II do not see how
Congress can admit Captain Watkins of the
City Of Paris 10 naturalization except by
special bill. 1t would certainly be very
wrong TO admit foreign vessels to American
registry and at the same time have them
Offered by Englishmen."

and Portland, that the former management of
the Union Pacific entered into a contract
with the Great Northern giving that COM
pany the right to interchange traffic for
Portland with the Oregon lines at Spokane
Fails upon division of rates, which ac-
cords to the Union Pacific little better than
pro rata division per mile. 1t is understood
the present management objects to carrying
out THIS arrangement because the Oregon
lease has been found very burdensome If
any revision Of the contract is made il will
probably be based upon some plan by
which this burden will be divided, the
Great Northern contributing its pro rata of
rental charge This arrangement will not
give the Great Northern access south or
north of Portland. The Union Pacific has
no lines III either direction.
