Cleyeland's Possible Private Secretary Falls
to the Bottom of His Hunting Boat

Special to the Indianapolis journal
EXMoRE, Va, Dec. 1.-Quite little furry
of excitement was created on Broadwater
island to-day whom the fact obtained pub
licity that l.. Clark Davis had been quite
sick. An effort was made to prevent the
particulars of his illness from becoming q
known, but it is understood that while ont
shooting yesterday afternoon Mr.. Davis
tainted and fell to the bottom of his boat.
The explanation was given that his lower
limbs were paralyzed. The attack of
paralysis is ascribed to the severe cold. Mr..
Davis was able to be about the island to-
day.
Mr.. Cleveland returned from cunning at
4:15 O'Clock this afternoon. The day was
spent at High Drain. Although the tide
was rather high. the condiJlOns were ex-
ceptIonally favorable for ducking and all
of the spOrtsmen seemed satisfied with

Springer Says There Must Be One TO Frame
New Tariff Law.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Dec. ]. - Congressman
Springer. of Illinois. chairman of the COM
mittee on ways and means, returned to this
city last night in full health. In the course
of an interview he says that the people Of
the country are entitled to a thorough re-
vision of the tariff, and the work ought to
be done soon possible. An extra ses-
sion seems to him to be absolutely neces-
sary. The new tariff bill, he added. cannot
be modelled on the lines of the Mills bill,
for the measure was framed in responseto
Mr.. Cleveland's exhibit of a surplus OF
Sl0O. .0O0.0 600 in the treasury. The next tariff
must open the way toward an increase of
the revenue rather than reduction. There
is absolute necessity for an extra session to
provide means for meeting the threatened
deficiency In the treasury on the first of
July. While the deficiency must be met no
new impositions must be placed upon the
people.

Reasonable Ground for the Hope
That One Will Be Chosen in

Pretty Sure to Got One or Two
Members From Meagher
County.
May Yet Gain One In silver Row and Also
In MissOuin- Republicans TN tho
Minority.

The probability that the democrats will
elect n United States senator in this state IL
still very strong, although the returns re-
ceived Yesterday shifted somewhat their
source Of strength. These returns made 1t
positive that the republicans would have
two votes from Choleau instead of one, and
also that they have the Cascade and Daw-
son joint Representative, but the advices
now indicate tho election of at least ono
democrat in Meagher, possibly two. and
that they will have three members of the
Silver Bow delegation instead Of two. Nor
is it beyond pe~radventute that the delega-
ton from Missoula wilt not be solldly demo-
cratic. Any one of these contingencies
may give them the one vote needed to elect
without the aid of any other member. OF
course the position to be taken by the pop
ulists ia unknown. Certain it is that the
house cannot organize without these mem-
beers either voting with one of the old par
ties or one of the old parties voting with
them. The house will almost certainly
stand twentv- five to twenty six, with four
populists. The senate will promptly Or
ganize with ten democrats and six republic
cans present and Lieut.-Gov. Botkin pre-
siding.

cincts on the capital vote. The result is:

two hours conference. 1t is understood

be brought up will be carefully sounded be-
fore it il proposed and enacted. At lunch
con Cleveland had the master spirits of the
campaign with him. A serious post-pran-
dial discussion was the ANALYSIS of the vote
on the issues of the day. Cleveland sug-
gested that until it could be satisfactorily
shown Just why there was such an unfot-
seen flop it would be wise TO go slow.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-Rumors to the effect
that Lord K%oseberry, secretary of foreign
affairs, and Princess Victoria, eldest I'M
married daughter of the princess of Wales.
are betrothed, has been discussed in So
ciety papers for some time past. While
discrediSed In we'll informed circles. no abb
solute denial is obtained, and consequently
credence is given them. The fact that
Loid R~oseberry attended the fifty-fi st cell
ebfation Of the prince Of Wales birthday
Mt Sandringham Wednesday is construed AZ
n c~onfirmatory indication. Princess Vic
toria Was born in Marlborough house, Lon
don, July l6, 1868. In face and figure she
resembles her mother. 1t is believed n
union Of tho daughter Of the heir to the
throne with 30 pronounced md eisting-
guished a liberal would have marked polit-
zeal effect. Lord Koseberry, though long
prominet in public affairs. is only 45 years
old. His first wife, to whom he was mar
ried in 1873. was the only daughter and
heiress of Baron Meyer Amschel de Roths-
child. Her death in Nov. 1S, 1890. was
widely lamented. BY her Lord Roseberry

Natives snd Whites equally Dissatisfied
With Affairs.
New York, Nov. 12.-The authorities at
Washington evidently fear serious trouble
may arise in Samoa and have decided to
take steps to protect the interests of the
United State in that country by the pes
ence of an American warship. says the
Herald's Washington correspondent. 1t
will be we'll toward the middle of January,
however, before the Ranger, which has been
ordered to Samoa. reaches Ito destination.
A letter received here from n resident or
Apia confirms the news received by the au-
thorities at Washington about the thu eaten
ing aspect in Samoa. Both political and
business affairs are reported as being in II
bad way. The natives have been dissatis-
fled with the working of the Berlin treaty
for mole than two years. says the writer,
and a majority of the white residents share
the dissatisfaction. American and English
residents object equally with the natives to
the administrator of Chief Justice Ledar-
kranz and Baron Won Pilsach. who, il is
charged, discriminate strongly in favor of
German residents and seek indirectly to
drive out American and English traders.
1ll-feelinR between the Two native fac
ions has been growing for two years and
for several months has been on the point of
resulting in another civil war. The fac
lions are represented by MRiletoa Iupepa,
the resent king, and High Chief Mataafa.
who OBLIGATED as malietoa or king during
the time Lupepa was deported and kept

shedding of blood and doing all the hard

tired to IL distant part of the island of
Upola and there fortified themselves and
have since remained. Matanfa and forces
refused to visit Lupepa and render alleg-
