THE PAGO-PAGO AFFAIR.

Neither the United States Nor Great Britain
Has Exclusive Jurisdiction.
Officials Of this government place no credence
in the report that Great Britain has "seized"
the harbor Of Pago-Pago, Samoa, for coaling
station.
1T is not necessary for England to seize the
harbor in order to establish q coalng station, ~
said State Department official to STAR re-
porter today. Under treaty stipulations Eng
land has a right to locate q naval depot
wherever she pleases on Samoan shore"
The treaties under which the United States
and England acquire their respective rights are
as follows:
Article of the treaty Of 1878 reads: "Naval
vessels Of the United States shall have the priv
ilege OF entering and using the port of Pago-
Pago, and establishing therein ard on the
shores thereof a station for coal and other naval
supplies for their naval and commercial ma
rine, and the Samoan government will here
after neither exercise nor authorize any juris-
diction within said port adverse to such rights
OF the United States rs restrictive thereof.
The same vessels shall also have the privilege Of
entering other ports Of the Samoan Islands.
1.-The citizens Of the United States shall like
wise have free liberty to enter the same ports
with their ships and cargoes Of whatsoever kind
and to sell the same to any Of the inhabitants
or to barter them for the products Of the
islands. All such traffic, in whatever articles of
trade or barter. shall be free, except that the
trade in firearms and munitions Of war in the
islands shall be subject to regulation by that
government"
August ~, 1880, a treaty was proclaimed be-
tween Great Britain and the King Of Samoa
which contained this provisions:
"Her majesty the Queen Of Great Britain
may, if she think fit, establish on the shores of
Samoan harbor. to be herea ter designated by
her majesty, naval station and coaling depot.
but this article shall not apply to the harbor Of
Apia or Salnatafa or to that part Of the harbor
Of Pago-Pago which may be hereafter selected
by the government Of the United States as a
station under the provisions of the treaty con-
cluded between the United States of America
and the Samoan government on the 18th day Of
January. 1878"
1t will be seen that neither the United States
nor Great Britain has an exclusive right to the
privileges Of Pago-Pago harbor. Germany is
the only government which may lay claim to an
exclusive grant on the part Of Samoa.

That 10 the Opinion OF Gen. Henderson Of
Iowa.

inst - the opinion OF Gen. Henderson Of
Iowa.
Speaking Of the political situation to q SrAn
reporter today, Gen. Henderson Of Iowa said:
~ feel confident Of republican success this fall
The republican party everywhere, in Congress,
through the administration and in state plat
forms, presents an unwavering front ON the
great issue to which it has been 30 long COM
mitted, while the lines Of democracy are waver-
ing at all points and have been abandoned at
many. On the money question who can say
where the democracy stands2 On the tariff il
has presented In this Congress no lines Of
thought, but was hid behind trifing cowardice.
Its cry of the biilion-doiiar Congress has come
back to torture us, its appropriations exceeding
by millions the average Of last Congress,
and to an alarming degree exceeding the
appropriations Of the first session
Of the Fifty-irst Congress. While petty cuts
have been made where ii would fret the gov
eminent and do harm, this Congress has
launched out without fear or reserve into ire
mendous appropriations where the interests Of
the majority in the House were directly at stake.
With its direct appropriation Of $21, 600 900 in
the river and harbor bill and authorized con-
tracts for $3l 600 600 more, mortgsging the
finances of the future. it has shown a reckless
extravaganza unparalleled in the history of
government and has well earned the title OF
The pork-barreP Congress. In the last cam
paign on every stump the cry was raised
against the cloture rule Of the Fifty-frst
Congress. The House just adjourned has
surrendered to the policy of the Gear Of Maine
and has had to adopt q cloture rule to
prevent one man from tying up the great
est appropriation bill in the session and forcing
the session to an indefinite continuance. Pass
ing from this we find democracy following the
leadership of candidate for the presidency
who has been discarded by the people, while
the republicans follow their standard held up
by Gen. Harrison, whose firmness in UNFOLDING
the national honor on all questions of foreign
policy and whose unwavering devotion to every
American interest demands the respect Of the
entire country. Unless abandon my faith in
the patriotism and intelligence OF the American
people cannot but believe that the republican
ticket will be triumphantly elected"

On the 9Th Of last June, Martin Reed, who
was confined in the Washington county,

escaped and was not located by the detectives
on his track until Saturday. Officers Mcbride
and Orr of Washington have been working on
the case ever since the murderer fed, and after
much work. they found him concealed in an ice
house at Noblestown, near Washington. When
discovered Reed refused to surrender, where
upon An attempt was made to force the door Of
the ice house and take him BY force. Reed had
evidently determined not to be taken alive, for
he opened fire on the officers and dangerously
wounded Officer Orr.
The two policemen, seeing that they could
not capture the desperate unaided. called for
help. large number Of citizens of the place
responded, and q second attack on the building
was commenced. Shot after shot came from
Reeds revolver. and his firing was 80 rapid
that no one dared TO venture close to the ice
house.
At this time Constable Coyle Of Mcdonald
station placed himself at the head Of a number
Of others and led an assault on the murderer's
stronghold. The besiegers were met with q
volley from Reeds pistol, and Constable Coyle
was instantly killed. The death Of this officer
spread CONSERVATION among the assembled cit
liens, but they quickly rallied and determined
to vet fire to the ice house and thus force Reed
to surrender.
They were successful in starting q fire. and
soon the flames were spreading from one end of
the building to the other. but Reed did not
give himself up to the officers. On the con-
trary. as the flames mounted higher and higher,
and he saw that he had the choice of burning
70 death, surrendsring or shooting himself, he
chose the latter. The report of his revolver
rang out, startling the crowd, who had not
looked for such q termination to the tragedy.

his head. The crime for which Reed was con-
victed and sentenced to hang was the murder

When the novel idea Of building brick ship

gested by Commodore Meade much criticisr
was INDUCED in by the humorously inclined
but the practicability as well as the appropriate

promptly agreed upon and begun.
Upon the completion Of the work of cement

nois, it Is confidently believed that persons of
experience or of technical information only can
detect the difference between the dummy
and real ship. Apart from the precision OF
her resemblance to a sea-going battle ship, it IS
thought by those most interested in the illinois
tnat, rs an OBJECT lesson showing the arrange

vessel, she will be greatly appreciated by many
thousands OF visitors at the worlds fair who
