GERMAN INTERESTS.
She May Ask the Uuited States to Retire
From Samoa

She May Ask the Uuited States to Retire
From Samoa.
WASHINGTON, Feb. "A telegram
from Berlin is published this morning to
the effect that if the United States should
annex Hawaii, Germany might demand
slight compensation elsewhere was dis
cussed with much interest in official cir
cles. But one construction could be
placed upon it and that was that Ger
many would insist upon the United
States retiring from joint control with
Germany and England of the Samoan
Islands. That is the only place where
Germany and the United States have the
least interests in common and of course
the only place where Germany's demand
for ssslight compensation would have
any footing. 1t may be stated that the
disposition of the Hawalin question will
not in any wise depend upon either Eng
land's attitude with reference to the Ha
wall or Germany's attitude towards Sa-
moa. The interests of the United States in
Samoa are relatively like those of Ger
many in Hawaii, both comparatively nor
NAL except for harbor privileges at Pago-
Page. If the right OF the United States
to the undisputed possession of that har-
Dor and privilege of maintaining naval
station there were confirmed IN a salts
factory manner, it is intimated this govern
ment might be induced to forego its share
in the arrangement to govern the islands,
which has so far, it is alleged, proved not
altogether satisfactory.
The action of the navy department with
reference to the Hawaiian situation will
be adhered to- Preparation of the naval
vessels for sea service will be actively
passed, but the naval force at Honolulu
will not be augmented to any extent un-
less the affairs should have taken a SER
1ous aspect. Vessels in the foreign ser
vice will be held within reach of the tele-
graph and the marines placed under Or
ders preparatory to a speedy departure.

CHEYENNE, Wy, Feb. 2.-[special.l J.
There is great activity in the senatorial

The action of the Populists, il it is not

JUSTICE LANAR'S MANTLE.
1t Has Been rendered to Judge
Howell Edmunds jackson.
THE SENATE Is SURPRISED,
There VIII Be Little Opposition to His
Confirmation.
He Is Democratic Ex-senator and at
Present Judge of the United
States District Embracing
Tennessee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE president
today appointed Circuit Judge Howell
Edmunds Jackson as successor to Justice
Lamar on the supreme bench. Judge
jackson is Democratic ex-senator and
at present judge of the United States
court for the district embracing Ten
nessee. Inquiry about the capitol shows
that the appointment, considered from a
judicial and not a political view, is a
splendid one. The appointment was a
great surprise to the Tennessee delegates
in the House. The two Republican mem
bers felt sore over the selection OF a Dem
ocrat and states rights man, but when
asked as to Jackson's personal fitness
conceded that his character and abilities
were all that could be desired. The Sc
lection, politically, is more pleasing to
some of the Democratic representatives,
who recall the fact that Judge Jackson
was the leader of the Sup School Demo
Gratis of Tennessee The men said,
however, that the new Judge was strong,
clean and able.
Representative Houk of Tennessee when
asked about the appointment said:
81 think President Harrison followed in
clinations and betrayed the Repu blican
party and committed a cElme against the
constitution by appointing a man who by
birth and schooling is a states rights
Democrat, believing in the strict con-
struction of the constitution and suprem-
acy Of the state over the nation. / have
nothing to say against Judge Jackson as
man. He is just, able ano humane. -
Representative Enloe said: lit is an
excellent appointment. Judge Jackson
is able, Industrious, pure in character,
and a good Judge. / have never heard
his Democracy questioned.
The nomination came as a great sur
prise on the Senate side and was received
while the Senate was in executive session.
While no comment was made on the floor
the Republicans gathered about in little
groups and discussed it.. With the eX-
ceptlon of few who think the president
should have appointed Republican, the
nomination is well received, and it was
said there will be little if any opposition
to his confirmation.
Judge Jackson was born in Paris,
Tenn. in April, 1882. He received a
classical education and afterwards took a
course in law. He was admitted to prac-
tice in Jackson, Tenn, in 1856. He
served twice as judge, by appointment,
on the supreme bench of the state, was
elected to the state legislature as a state
credit Democrat in 1880 and the same year
he was elected to the United States SEN
ate to Succeed James E. Bailey. In 1886
he was nominated by the president and
confirmed as United States Judge for the
Sixth judicial district.

Her Claims to the Throne VIII Be Pre-
sented in Washington.

Her Claims to the Throne Will Be Pre-
sented in Washington.
CHICAGO. Feb. "A morning paper
says: s'John M. Cleghorn of San Fran
cisco, uncle of Princess Kaiulani, heir
apparent to the Hawaiian throne, stole a
march on the Hawaiian commissioners
now on their way to Washington TO pre-
sent the claims of the provisional govern
ment. AS soon as news of the revolt be-
came known, Cleghorn packed his grip
and took the first train for Washington,
with the result that he arrived in Chicago
orty-eight hours ahead of the commits
sioners, and will reach the capital that
much in advance of them. His purpose
is to present the claims of his neice to the
United States government before the COM
mission appointed by the provisional gov
eminent arrives at the national capital.
He is brother of A. S. Cleghorn. whose
deceased wife was sister of the deposed
queen Liliuokalani, and whose daughter,
the heir apparent, is at a fashionable
school in England. He will lay before
President Harrison the claims of his neice,
Princess Kaiulani, and Will plead for the
establishment of a protectorate with the
princess as queen.
'sThis girl he said, educated in
England, will be much more satisfactory
to the foreign element in the Sandwich
islands than Queen Liliuokalani was. 1t
will be better for all concerned If the de-
posed queen be kept from the throne.
She hates foreigners, and if her demands
had found favor it would only have been
a matter OF a few years before she would
have conhscated the property of aliens.
She did wrong in endeavoring to get her
cabinet to sign the new constitution
which would disfranch1se foreigners. 1
do not think the provisional government
will last long for believe the United
States will establish a protectorate instead
OF annexing the island. England will
certainly not permit annexation without
making vigorous protest and perhaps a
