diverse and characteristic threads of
human interest. Some of the stage pic

The play is said to reflect all types OF

The Irish Standard records with poign-
ant regret the death OF Mr.. Augustine
Murphy, Sir, OF Duluth, who departed
this life OH Monday, Dec. IS, at the age
OF IS years. The deceased was taken
sick last August, and since then his
health steadily failed, but he bore his
sufferings with Christian patience and
resignation and was ready to answer the
summons OF the Divine Master whom
he served faithfully on earth.
Mr.. Murphy was man OF thorough
honesty, pure patriotism, disintcrcsted-
ness and fidelity in his private friend
ships and in his public conduct. None
knew him but to love and respect him
for his noble characteristics OF head and
heart. He was a native OF Cork and
patriot OF whom the rebel city on the
Lee had cause to be proud. He was
prominent in all Irish movements and
an active participation in the Fcnian up
rising. He knew Parncll personally
and had the honor OF being the first
man to propose him for a member OF
the British parliament When Fl years
old he Lett his native land for Australia
where nc remained for several years.
In a book which he published in Cork
he gives his experiences in the anti
podcs in a charming manner. He re-
turned to ireland in 1867 and heartily
embarked in the cause OF freedom. In
the Land League days he rendered val
liable service to Irish nationality, and
when the movement inauguratcd by
Michael Davitt was banned by the Brit
ish government he joined the Irish
National Federation. Coming to the
United States, he settled in Duluth with
his family. In 1895 he returned again
to ireland, accompanied by his little
daughter Madge, talented girl, who
contributed articles to the Cork jour-
mails in defense OF the United States
during the Spanish-American war. He
returned home in 1893. He was men,

Charles Hill Wilson, wealthy lumber mer-

issued a call for a public meeting Of the citi-
zens of Mount Vernon to be held in Ferguson
Hall at o'clock this evening The purpose OF
the meeting, as stated in the call, Is to con-
slider the rulings and actions Of Mayor Edwin
w. Fiske In the recent trolley legislation by
the Board Of Aldermen
Mr. Wilson said yesterday to Tribune re-
porter that the air is filled with ugly rumors
in connection with the franchise recently
granted to the New-York, Westchester and
Connecticut Traction Company, and that It is
the purpose Of the meeting to take action either
commenting or condemnlng the proceedings.
The Board Of Trade has already condemned
Mayor Fiske and recommended his impeach-
nent, and the Aldermen have tried City Clerk
Hoyt for withholding the application of rival
company, and deceiving them, but have not
vet decided upon a verdict The matter has
been resting quietly for nearly week. and the
effect Of the meeting will probably be to stir
1t up again and hasten decision.

conditions-nrst that the Liberal party be re-

second. that the Liberal party be aimed chiefly
at a prompt reorganization OF the army and

democratic principles would win the support
OF moderate Republicans.
He approves Senior Sagastas decision to in

and the conduct OF the war, but he is deter
mined only TO join sagasta after the debates
when new Liberal party and Cabinet ara
formed He regards the present Cabinet as ut

Of the country, and its defences. and considers
that the present Ministry cannot survive the

DIFFICULTY STATED.
NOT CLEAR TO BERLIN HOWEVER. THAT
THE GERMAN CONSUL AT APIA

rInArrONa
LEGATIONS.

Berlin, Jan 20.-The Foreign Office informs
+hA correspondent OF The Associated Press that
the official reports received from Samoa by the
Government tally with those received by The
Associated Press. In any event. Germany will
not support any possible irregularity nconsist-
ant with the treaty. But, the Foreign Office
oeHcial points out, IL is not yet clear that the
cerman Consul at Apia has been guilty Of any
irregularities Of that nature. On the contrary
the Foreign Office insists. Il still remains to be
.xnIained why Mataafa's election was declared
invalid. ss he was admittedly elected by an
overwhelming majority.
The Foreign Office admits that Germany has
1ong been dissatisfied with the condomnium,
which IN It's nature is provisional. though. un-
fortunately other Powers. especially the Wash
ington Government, have thought otherwise"
The Foreign Office officials say that the cap
tain Of the German warship Fake at Apa
does not attach much Importance to the recent
Incidents" and hence the Government does not
intend TO send additional warships to Samoa
unless the other Powers do.
The National Zetung' to-day. referring to
the trouble in Samoa, says;
The untenable character of the existing con-
ditions at Samoa have again been demonstrated.
Further information regarding the latest con-
fict between the German and the British and
American officials must be awaited. But 1t is
clear that, In consequence OF the Joint dominion
Of the three Powers, the seeds Of conflict are
always present. TO the dangerous nature OF
which the limited extent Of American and Brit
ish interests is in startling disproportion."
The "'vossische zeitung'' assures its readers
that the German Government can be depended
upon to act correctly and in accordance with
the treaty obligations "of course with due ap-
probation of German interests. which cannot be
surrendered"
The Post remarks: when the actual situ-
alton is known. Germany will take decision
Injurious to no existing rights"
The official "Reichsanziger" says Emperor
William received the German Minister Of For
eign Affairs, Baron Won Bulow. in audience this
afternoon, and that later he received in audience
the British Ambassador to Germany. Sir Frank
Cavendish Lasceles.
