Grasping, Petty Am bition Acute
and Humbug Very
Apparent.
UsURPING MATAAFAS POWER.
IF Land Litigations Were Cleared
Away the Official Would Be-
come insignificant.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April SIN the
Samoan correspondence just made public
by the State Department there is a series
of letters from James II. Mulligan, United
States Consul-General to Samoa, which are
interesting from their free and easy style
of communication concerning diplomatic
affairs. Speaking of Chief Justice Henry
Ide, who presides over the court estab-
lished for Samoa by the three powers,
Great Britain, Germany and the United
States. He says:
sThis so-called Chief Justice is a very
pleasant and agreeable man. Nature has
not been lavish with him in her gifts, and
he is not up to the gauge of Daniel Web
ster He is violently impressed with his
own Importance, and the most melancholy
feature about him is that he labors under
the impression that he is very smart. He
could wipe out eight-tenths of the pending
litigations and prospective appeals by a
prompt decision of the only real question
of the moment that he has ever had before
him, which is under the eighth section Of
article 5.
eff the land litigation was once cleared
away the powers ana public would wake
up to the absurdity of labelling an ordinary
Justice of the Peace with the title of Chief
Justice, whose duties would be confined to
the trial of an occasional native for hook
ing breadfruit.
81 shall lay before the department, in the
proper time and way, the fact that this
Vermont lawyer has actually recommended
and secured the enactment of law depriv-
ing the King, who is, think, at least his
equal in ability, of the pardoning power
save by his consent. 1 have no rupture
with Mr.. Ide, who has been all courtesy to
me, but the grasping, petty ambition is SO
acute, the humbug is so apparent, that I
feel it my duty to convey to your eye alone,
for your correct understanding, the impress
sions of mere stranger, free from all
friction or ENHANCEMENT"

At Least This Is the Opinion Of Presi-
dent Andrews of the Brown
University.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, April 5.-"Neither
of the great political parties can afford to
ignore the silver issue in the next Presi-
Dental campaign. 1t will overshadow the
tariff and cast it into the background"
This decisive statement was made by
President Andrews of Brown University.
Mr.. Andrews was one of the representa-
tives of the United States in the last inter
national monetary conference, and
prefaced his conversation by the state
ment: 81 was appointed on the commit
tee as Democrat, but was reared as q

"Do you think the Republicans will be
forced to declare for free silver to catch
the Western States ?'' asked the reporter.
mo, indeed" was the reply, "but they
must make some concessions to silver.
They must pledge themselves to strive for
an international agreement, or perhaps
even promise more than that. do not
think the time has come for this country
to take the initiative in restoring silver at
a given ratio to gold.
"There is no use trying to suppress the
issue in the West" continued the profess
sor. sit should be met half way. Think
ing people want bimetallism, with an in
ternational agreement, if possible, but
they do not believe In waiting forever.
Neither do l. But Independent action
should be delayed until all signs point to
an imitation of our course by other ma
tons"
"What would be the result of free coin
age now?"
"The immediate result would be a ire
mendous revival of business and restora-
ton of depressed values. Money boarded
in banks would be turned loose. We
should wrest from Europe most of the
trade with silver countries. Our factories
would be worked to their full capacity
All our gold would pass to Europe, but we
would not need it, and if our example
were followed by Europe we would never
have any backset over it. l hear Western
people talking of the crime of 1873. I do
not think any of the members of Congress
were criminal in their action, but | do
think there has been a terrible mistake,

ONE BANDIT S HOT DOWN,
Officers Have a Battle With
Desperate Train
Robbers.
Surviving Members Of the Band
Surrounded, and VIII be
Starved Out.

HENNESSY, o. T., April part of the
posse in pursuit of the bandits who robbed
the Rock Island train, near Dover, Wednes-
day night came upon the gang thirty-five
miles west of Hennessy at 3 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. A fight ensued in which
one of the robbers was killed and two 9TH
ers wounded.
AS soon as the robbers we're sighted by
the deputies they jumped from their
horses and used them as breastworks.
When the robbers made an attempt to re-
treat two of their horses were shot from
under them and one man was killed; an
other mans leg was broken, but he man
aged to get on his horse; another was
badly hit, but he too succeeded in getting
away.
The Marshals gave chase to the retreat
ing outlaws and finally cornered them in
a bunch of timber about two miles from
the scene of battle. A waiting game is
food and water.
The dead man was brought to Hennessy
at IL o'clock last night and has been posi-
lively identified as Dick Yeager, alias Gyp
WYATT, on whose head there is an aggre-
gate reward of over $4,000, including $1,000
offered yesterday for each of the robbers
by the Rock Island.
He was identified by United States Mar
shall Grimes and G. c. Krepps, farmer,
who was acquainted with Wyatt. He was
also identified as one of the Dover robbers
by the entire train crew. Conductor Mack
says he was the leader. In his possession
was found the sack the porter was COM
PEELED to hold while the passengers de-
posted their valuables.

Utah,s Netc Constitution VIII Contain a
Wonsan Suffrage Plank.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, April g. The
woman suffrage article, which was passed
to the third reading by the convention
several days ago, came up again to-day on
a motion to recommit, with instructions to
present the question to the people in a
separate article. The most of the day was
spent in the discussion of the subject
Able speeches were made on both sides.
The motion to recommit was lost by vote
of AZ to 81.
A vote to adopt the article was carried
by IS to IA and it now goes to the commit
tee on revision. Unless the opposition can
muster votes enough to have to-day's
action reconsidered woman suffrage in
Utah may be considered an accomplished
fact.
A largely attended meeting was held at
the opera-house this afternoon to protest
against woman suffrage and another meet
ing was held at Exposition Hall tonight
to discuss the question. The opposition
has been seeking delay, claiming that
numerous petitions against the measure
would reach the convention within a few
DAYS.

WEARY OF LOW GRAIN RATES.
Eastern Lines Viii Probably Restore the
Old Tariffs.

CHICAGO ILL, April 5.-Some of the
Eastern lines are becoming very weary of
the low rates on grain now prevailing from
Chicago to the Atlantic seaboard, and
there is a strong probability that the rate
will be restored at the meeting of the presi-
dents, which will take place next Tuesday.
The disposition is to advance rates above
10 and II cents, some heavy contracts hay
ing been made at the latter figure. By no
means will the old tariff of 20 cents be re-
stored. There is in fact a strong opposi-
ton to shade that rate openly, and it may
be put as low as IS or IL cents.
The Western lines have been trying for
two days to get matters into line SO that
their association can be put into motion,
but SO far they have made but little prog
