GERMANY TO OCCUPY SAMOA.
Rumor That the Three Powers Have
Agreed TO This Arrangement.

LONDON, December 12.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Standard says:
ut is rumored here that the great
Powers concerned have agreed 10 a Ger
man occupation of the Samoan Islands,
beginning with Upola."
UNCLE SAM NOT INFORMED.
WASHINGTON, December 12.-The
United States Government is not aware
that any arrangement has been made
for transfer of the title of the Samoan
Islands TO Germany, and being one of the
parties of the tripartite agreement under
which Samoa is now governed, it is not
conceivable that any change in the status
of the islands can be made without the
knowledge of the United States.
A DIPLOMATIC FEELER.
The telegram purporting that Germany
had actually sold rights in the Samoan
group is recognized as a diplomatic feeler,
being another Of the attempts which have
been made at intervals of three months
for the past two or three years to as
certain how a change in the established
order as 10 Samoa would be received in
the United States.
WE RELINQUISH NOTHING.

Will not consent TO relnquish any of its
rights The German Ambassador, Or.
Won Holleben, called at the State De
partment to-day, and had an interview

A CONNECTS STORY
Regarding "a West Virginia Murder
Mystery.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, December r.
Special. with the pententiary doors
swinging open to receive him, Jim"
Vane. a notorious post-office robber Of
the mountain regions of Clay county, has
told a story of the murder Of Henry Har-
CESS. which occurred three years ago.
Jim" Vane has been before the United
States courts several times on charges OF
robbing post-offces. His most recent eX-
plot was the robbery Of Valley Fork
post-ofIice. for which he has been con-
victed He said he would not go alone TO
prison and revealed to the authorities
the alleged details Of the Hargess muir
der
Young Hargess received q gift OF
$780, pension money, from his mother, and
soon afterwards disappeared. Nane de-
cared that three men, whose names he
gave. killed Hargess, robbed the body,
and buried IL in the woods. The body was
found to-day H. the exact spot where
Vane said il had been hidden. The very
money that Hargess was murdered for
had been obtained from the government
by fraud. and his mother has since Deen
sent to the penitentiary. The men alleged
to have killed Hargess have not been ar
rested. Vane says he accidentally came
upon them in the woods while they were
looting the body.

CHARMING SOUTHERN ACTRESS.
Miss Lila COnvere One of the Most
Beautiful Women on the Stage.

One of the most beautiful women on the
stage to-day is Miss Lila Convere. who
is a member of Mr.. Sol. Smith RussePs
company.
Miss ConVere is a southern girl, North
Carolina being her native State, in which
she lived up to the time she made her
professional debut two years ago She
belongs To one of the oldest aud most
aristocratic families of the Old North
State. Convere, OF course. being her stage
name. Two seasons ago, while on visit
TO her sister in New York, Mr.. Augustin
DAILY met her, and was so pleased with
the undoubted talent of the charming
southern girl that he at once made her
an offer TO become a member of his com
pany. which she accepted, and went
abroad under the direction OF the dis
tinguished manager.
In Charlotte Miss Conyere was known
as an amateur who possessed the most
decided talent for the histronic art, and
I'm the local theatrical performances given
by the society folk of that city she was
always the star of the caste. Miss Con-
we're has at the very beginning of her
professional career. taken a position In
the ranks of players that many an actress
of years experience might well envy her.
And II is not her beauty alone that has
won for her this distinction. for she has
the ability 10 hold her place. and is en-
trusted with roles which only fall to the
hands of an actress possessing more than
an ordinary knowledge Of her art.

CARTER CASE TO-DAY
HENRICO MERCHANT WILL AGAIN
STAND TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE.
MR.. GEORGE 3. WISE is FINED.
The Young Lawyer Tardy In Attend
ing Henrico Court Yesterday, anu
Judpe Wickhnm Makes Him Pay
s2O--An Appeal Taken.

The Henrico County Court met yester-
day for the December term, but no case
was heard The court adjourned over I'M
I'll this morning at II o'clock, when James
Penrose Carter will be again arra.gned to
answer TO the charge of numbering Charles
Fox Moore. The case, which was tried
at the November term of the court and
resulted in a hung jury, attracted wide
spread interest throughout the State. Not
outstanding this, Judge Wickham hopes
to be able TO secure a jury Tor this trial
from Henrico, and with this end in view
he has caused to be summoned a venire
of sixteen men. These men have all been
summoned from sections Of the county
remote from the city, and it is thought
that twelve men out Of the sixteen may
be found who have neither formed nor
expressed an opinion as TO the guilt or
innocence of the accused"
CARTER Is CHEERFUL
Carter seems not at all disturbed over
the approach Of his trial. Indeed, he Is
anxious for 1t to be over, as he feels con-
ndent of an acquittal, and says he fully
expects 10 eat his Christmas dinner with
his family around his own board. His
counsel too. are confident of success, and
will make strong fight TO secure a YER
dict Of acquittal. On the other hand, the
counsel for the prosecution are gathering
additional evidence, and they. too. feel
confident that Carter will not be ac-
quilted.
The case will probably not occupy as
much time this month as it did last, for
considerable amount Of evidence which
was immaterial will not be taken during
this trial, and if jury is secured to-day
the chances are that a verdict will be rem
dered this week.
a LAWYER FINED.
4 There was an interesting episode at the
county courthouse yesterday. The only
case set for trial was that of Thomas
Green, the negro charged with stealing a
mule He was TO have been defended by
Mr.. George T.. Wise, but the young law
yer was not present when the case was
called. and after the jury had waited some
time the case was continued until the
next term. At O'Clock Mr.. Wise entered
the courtroom, and Judge Wickham at
once called him before him and imposed
a fine of $50 upon him for his hardness.
Mr.. Wise explained that he was detained
by case in which he was counsel in one
Of the city courts, but the Judge, after
calling attention 10 Mr.. Wises hardness
at the last term Of the court. said he
had TO maintain the dignity Of his court,
and hence imposed the fine. Mr.. Wise
took an appeal.
