RECEIVED WITH D|SMAY.
The News From Samoa Causes a
Feeling Of Perturbation at
the National Capital.
ALL INTERESTED DEpLORE THE AFFAIR.
The Arrest and Detention of n Ger
IVAN Subject Looked tpon as
One of the Most Dangerous Fea-
tures-Further Advices From Apia
via Auckland.

Washington, April 13.-The news
from Samoa was received here with II
feeling approaching, dismay. There
was a refusal on the part of the higher
officials to discuss the sad event. The
secretary of the German embassy
called early in the day upon Secretary
Hay. Neither of the officials would
disclose anything as to the l.ature OF
the exchange that took place.
A Dangerous Feature.
The arrest and detention by the
British naval officials of a German sub
ject is one of the most dangerous feat
ures of the controversy. 1t Is said that
the consuls of the three powers sta
toned at Apia claim extra territorial
jurisdiction, involving the right to try
the subject of their respective eoun-
tries for any offenses alleged to have
been committed.
Rose May Demand His Surrender.
Under this practice the German con-
sui, Rose, may demand the surrender
OF the German subject. II the man is
guilty it is considered improbable that
the British will yield unless upon
some adequate guarantee that he is to
be sufficiently punished. 1t is not be.
lieveo likely that Rose will make such
promise.
Not an Easy Task.
1t 10 believed that Admiral Kautz,
with the cooperation of the British,
will continue his efforts to bring the
rebellious natives to terms. This is
not likely to be an easy task, in view
of the small force at his command, but
it is possible the British government
may accept the proposition of the an.
thCrities of New Zealand to send a
regiment of soldiers to Apia. No pro.
test thus far has been lodged at the
state department against Admiral
Kautz.

-Four Marines Killed.

Two British and two American ma
rines were also killed.
The natives engaged were some of
Mataafa's warriors. They severed the
heads of the British and American of
ficers killed. Priests of tile French
mission afterwards brought the heads
into Apia. The manager of the Ger
mum plantation has been arrested and
detained on board the Tauranga, on
afiidavits declaring that he was seen
urging the rebels to fight.
Previous Engagement.
IL a previous engagement 27 of Ma
taafa's warriors were killed and there
were no casualties among the Eu-
ropean forces.

Cambon, At the same time NJ. Cambon
hahded to the president the Spanish
copy OF the treaty, also engrossed,
beund in morocco and incased in a
maroon-colored morocco box. There
were deferential bows as each received
from the other this final pledge of
peace. This exchange of ratifications
occurred at 1895 p. m. The president
was the first to speak.

Ensign Monaghan,s HerOism.

The heroic conduct of Ensign Mona
CHAN, of the United States cruiser
Philadelphia, particularly appeals to
the public.
The British admiralty has received
dispatch from Capt. Stuart, the
senior British naval officer in Samoan
waters, giving the news of the death
of Lieut.. Freeman, of the British
cruiser Tauranga, in 'an engagement
with the rebels"
Beyond this no further details have
been received.
German Ambassador Hears of II.
The German ambassador here, Count
Won Hatzenfeldt-Wild first re-
ceived the news from q press repre-
sentative. He quickly recognized its
Importance, and asked permission to
make copy of the dispatch. He said:
This news is indeed grave, and it is
unfortunate, too, at this moment, that
anything should occur to endanger
the negotiations for the settlement
that we were glad to feel would soon
have arrived. OF course [ can not
discuss the particlars given in the
dispatch, but the occurrence is GER
tainly very unfortunate
Fall Mall Gazette c.scusses 1t.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: 1.-THE
locality of the engagement, or rath-
er, ambush, is stated to have been a
German plantation, and there is the
unpleasant suggestion of treachery
upon the part of a German subject.
The incident, apart from the loss of
life, is deeply deplorable. The stu
alton was already full of anxiety to
the governments at home, while on the
spot racial feeling runs high. Though
it will be kept well under control, the
cabinets of London, Washington and
Berlin could well have been spared
this latest Development. We may be
assured that order will be maintained
ashore by the united efforts of the
English and American commanders,
but even their efforts will not clear
the air of the electricity which is fast
accommodating at Apia."

CRUSHED w A r
Conductor Russell Killed While Per-
forming His Duty.

The body of L. D. Russell, q South
ern Pacific freight conductor, was
brought to this city by the Owl train
yesterday morning. Russell was killed
at Rowan, a small way station in Kern
county, Tuesday night by being crush
ed between two sections of a train of
which he had charge.
The train. which was a double head
err, broke in two by the pulling out of a
drawhead. While the conductor and
%brakemen working between the Sec
tions to repair the break, the engineer
of Que section started his engine. The
two sections were bus unexpectedly
pushed together and Russell was
caught between the cars. His body
was almost cut in two and be was dead
in the twinkling of ap eye. The coro-
ner of Kern county held an inquest,
but the body was sent to this city for
burial.
Russell has been in the employ of
the Southern Pacific company about
twelve years, having been a conductor
about seven years of that time He
was a member of the Order of Railway
Conductors. He leaves a widow, who
lives on North Avenue A, East Los
Angeles. Undertaken Paul of the East
Side has charge Of the funeral arrange
ments.-Los Angeles Times

ant Fe Extension.

The project to build an extension of
the Santa from Texas westward through
entral New Mexico has been q favo-
rite one with Santa Fe people for many
years past. The advantage of the route
is found in the fact that it will give
easier grades and a shorter route to
the Pacific coast than at present exists.
The Santa Fe, If the scheme is carried
through, will be able to handle bust
ness originating on the Gulf of Mexico
with destination points on the Pacific
coast.
Should the Santa Fe run its trans
continental trains by way of Amarillo,
Texas, it is obvious that many New
Mexico points, including Las Vegas,
will no longer be on the main line of
the road. Just what effect this will
have on the prosperity of the towns on
the present main line of the road, If
the theory t. US outlined is founded on
reality, remains to be seen.
The extension to Ysleta Junction
would probably run close to old Fort
Sumner or Puerto de Luna, Guadalupe
county.

Result Of Advertising.

Practically complete returns of the
traffic carried by the Santa Fe Rail
road company to the National Educa-
tional association meeting at Los An
geles have been received by the Off
Gals of the road. They show that the
assertion thai the Santa Fe road car
ried a large proportion of the excur-
sionist is founded upon the true facts
in the case. From July 9Th to the 18th
inclusive, there were thirty regular
trains run and fifteen extra
trains. The total number of
persons carried on all trains,
who bought excursion tickets, was
slightly over $500. 1t is estimated
hat the attendance at LOS Angeles
this week ia 10, 600. This, of course in
cludes teachers and others from Pacific
coast points and making allowance for
these as we'll as the usual inclination
to overestimate crowds, it is evident
that the Santa Fe carried upwards Of
so per GER of the travel from the east.
1t is thought that the return travel

G.. B. EDDY
He Talks About the East.

C.. B. Eddy, who hss been in New
York for the past MONTH, returned here
yesterday morning after q very pleas
ant trip.
Mr.. Eddy says that the country has
never been in a nora prosperous con-
dition than it is at present. Great
business activity prevails everywhere.
Manufacturers in al branches have
more orders on their books than they
can fill in the next five years. All the
steel FORKS are running full blast work
ing the full limit day and night, but
still can not catch up with their or
ders.
The presidential question in 1900
seems to be a settled question in the
opinion of u eastern friends. Both
parties will make the rusts an issue.
Mr.. Eddy says that from what he can
learn that silver will not be an is
sue.
The crops throughout the east are in
excellent condition. especially in Kan
sas, where tie corn crop, If they have
no warm winds in the next three weeks.
will be the largest in the history of the
state. From present indications 1t will
be almost impossible to secure care
corr in sight.
Mr.. Eddy is very glad to be home
again. Tie heat in the east is so in
tense at present that p~rostrations are
of daily occurrence.
The White Oaks Is to have five new
engines of the best and latest pattern,
also new freight and passenger cars
which will arrive here soon.

A TRAFFIC
BetWe en- Santa Fe and Denver Roads
Is Probable

1t Is sscertained that one of the
business propositions being discussed
propositions being discussed in Denver
between the Fort Worth and Denver
and Colorado Southern officials is the
deai by which the above roads may
handle the freight traffic of the Santa
re originating in California and other
south western seaports. The Santa Fe
now ends it's freight from Tri-
nidad to Newton, Kan, thence
south over the Gulf, Colorado and San
ia Fe into Texas, out if the arrange
ments now pending are perfected the
Denver road will take the freight at
Trinidad via Fort Worth, making a
saving of over q 300-mile haul. It is
also proposed, in case this deal is made,
that all freights originating in Texas
and the south intended for the Santa
Fe will go by the same route.
1t is believed In Fort Worth that in
case this arrangement is made the Den
yer people will use the Santa Fe pas
sepger depot instead of the Texas and
Pacific. 1t is also very probable the
Cotton Belt will do likewise.-Houston

LINK AND Pm.

ton liz the United States: The rail-
road companies must be authorized by
law to pool and divide business. All
the railroads must be con bined in q
few enormous non-competitive systems,
or they must pass under the ownership
of the nation.
The sentiment of the country is so
averse to allowing the railroads to
agree on rates and divide business hat
there ia hardly the slightest likelihood
that congress will legalize the pooling
method which the railroad managers
desire. Hence, only two of b contin-
gencies named by Mr.. Morton are with
in the range of probability. Either the
government must own the railroads or
they Twill ultimately be merged into
q few 9 systems go powerful that
competition will be out OF the question,
and the transportation business will
become a monopoly. Judging from
present tendencies, that is what will
happen before the sentiment Of the
people reaches the stage which would
make government ownership possible.
in a few hands will never be permit
ted without the strictest law
of government supervision. The three
possible developments named
by Mr.. Morrol seem to be merged into
one by the logic of prevailing tenden-
oies, and the thing which at b present
moment seems most probable is q half
dozen, or even fewer, vast corporations
owning all the PSI 600 miles of railroad
racks aud the million and q half of
cara and engines that are in use in the
country today, these corporations in
turn to be so completely under the con-
troll and regulation of the government
that they will have little or nothing to
say about rates, but will be practically
agents of the government, operating
the railroads, distributing q reason
able mount of the profits of the bust
ness to their security FOLDERS and pay
ing all exces of earnings into the Ma
tional treasury. ID
Such O. arrangement would be pre-
fereble to government ownership, for
it would leave the railroads in the
hands of business men instead of poll
t~icians. It would avoid the necessity
of an enormous increase in the civil
service, and give the country all the
benefits of stable and uniform rates,
as well as the advantages of individual
and corporate enterprise in the devel-
opment and extension of the transpor-
tation system of the country.
The objection will be urged against
this method that 1t would immensely
increase the influences hat corpora
tions WELD in the government of the
country. But that plea may be met by
the question whether such an influence
would be as bad as the danger of par
tisan control of the million employees
of railroads under absolute government
ownership kan sas City Star.
