LAND CASE SETTLED.
Rights of Archbishop Ireland to
Lands Under the second Com
tract Are Affirmed.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The secretary
Of the interior Saturday affirmed the
decision Of the commissioner of the
general land office in the famous case
of Archbishop Ireland, involving title
to 53,17s acres Of land in Minnesota.
He holds that under the first contract,
made with the st. Paul, Minnesota &
Manitoba Railroad company on July II,
1880, Archbishop Ireland was not a pur-
chaser, but that under the second con-
tract, made on March 30, 1888, he was
a purchaser. Accordingly the lands
covered by the first contract will not
go to Archbishop Ireland, while he will
receive those under the secondcontract.

IRISH SUPERSTITION.
The Humorous Young Marquis Of Wa.
terford Won't Live in His
Fine House.

Like all true sons of Erin, the young
marquis of Waterford, head of the
great Irish house of Beresford, is dis
posed to be superstitious. He gave a
rather amusing illustration of this PEI
culiarity the other day on the occa-
sion of the birth Of his son and heir,
says Mainly About People, He owns a
fine house in Cavendish square, which.
unfortunately, bears the number Of
49," and SO alarmed was he lest.
this unlucky number should cast 9
blighting influence on the so-called
happy event that he actually leased for
a couple of months another furnished
house in the same square where the
birth took place. Young Lord Water
ford, who is a nephew of Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford, married a year ago
the pretty daughter of the marquise Of
Landsdowne, nov secretary Of state for
war.
Curraghmore, County Waterford, his
country seat, is a most picturesque
place, and is haunted by a famous and
most authentic banshee. The latter is
said to have made its last appearance
on the eve Of the suicide of the late
marquis, who was prompted by the in
tense suffering resulting from an acct
dent in the hunting field to take his
own life.

BLAMEs THE GERMANS.
Brother OF Chief Justice of Snmo
Talks of the Troubles.

Brother Of Chief Justice of SAMOA
Talks of the Troubles.
New York, Jan. 23.-Dr. P. f. Cham
bers, of this city, a brother of Chief JUS
tice Chambers of Samoa, in an inter
view Friday night said that the Ger
mans greatly outnumber all of the
other foreign residents in Samoa and
that they are undoubtedly to a great de-
gree responsible for the islands pres
ent troubles. AT their door he lays the
use of armsin settling the succession to
the throne and the maintenance of
other hostilities.
THE Germans" said DR.. Chambers,
"haye by no official act as yet shown their
hostility, but to every enc in official life in
Apia it has been apparent ever since the
outbreak of the Spanish-American war
that Germany was a disturbing spirit. The
Germans were plainly ~disgruntled at every
report OF American successes in the war
and when reports of Spanish successes
came they were excessive in their express
sions of JOY. They have maintained close
relations always with Mataafa and are be-
lieved TO have encouraged him to war
against Malietoa Tanus, his opponent in
the struggle for the throne, by offering
him their support in event of his success
at arms.
Germany seeks by any means at all to
get control of the commerce of the islands,
and is seeking to confine American inter-
ests to the island of Page Page, which we
now hold as a naval coaling station. She
would retain Apia for herself and relegate
England to a third island, which is larger,
but not SO rich as that on which Apia is
coated.
by that means Germany would at ali
times. If successful in carrying out his
plan. be In direct touch with the govern
ment, which would be located at Apia, and
no matter of what form it might be would
undoubtedly control it. The commercial
interests, being centered there also, would
the detriment of her English and Ameri.
can competitors. The other two powers
discerned the scheme long ago and would
not accede to it. The protective govern.
ment will be maintained as long as is neces.
sary and the result, as far as concerns the
Samoans, cannot be foretold
at is openly said in Apia that the Ger
mans made a plot to restore Mataafa anc
tina they exert a strong influence over him
Every act of theirs since the war for thu
throne began has tended to prove that be
lief"
London, Jan. 23.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Daily News says: Ii
authoritative circles here it is firmly
believed that the diplomatic negotia
tions which must now inevitably be re
sumed will LEAD to a solution of thu
Samoan question satisfactory to all thu
interested parties. 1t is thought mos.
improbable that any complications viii
arise with the United States.

Milwaukee, Jan. pa Sentinel spe-
cial from Amigo, Wis, says: When
the four printing Offices OF this place
were opened Friday all except one, the
Journal, were in a demoralized condi-
ton. All the type was pied and por-
lions of the weeks edition in each office
were destroyed. The papers hat suf-
fered from vandalism are the Amigo
Republican, the Weekly News and the
Herold Germany. Suspicion rests
strongly in one direction, and the own
ers of the three offices are confident
they know the perpetrators.

Famous Chests Sold.

A melancholy memory of the past
was recently put up for auction by the
government officials in Paris, no less
than the eases in which the huge war
indemnity paid by France to Germany
was transported across the frontier.
The chests in which the famous "cinq
milliards" were held were sold for 20
francs! Evidently a lost opportunity
for the antiuuary.
