LIBERIA FEARS GERMANY.



or British Protec!orate.
London, Jan. 13.-Advices
from Liberia indicate that
Germany is emuIating France in
her cndcavor to grab territory,
and is trying to persuade or cocrce
Liberia into accepting Il German
protectorate.
The latest attempt has taken
the form Of Il demand by Herr
Humplemcyer, the German Con
sui at Monrovia, who has Just re.
turned from visit to Berlin,
for immediate reparaton for the
alleged maItrcatment Of Il German
subject in 1897.
A German planter named Koch,
who refused to obey Il civil sum
mons, was taken to the courts by
force. He claimed damages, the
matter was taken up in Berlin, has
since been pending between the
two governments, and, though not
settled by the Llb2rian courts,
Herr kumpIcmcycr threatens TO
take severe measures unless Herr
koch's claims are paid.
The Liberian officials fully be
licve that both France and Ger
many wish to take advantage OF
/ Great Britain's war to force them
to accept Il protectorate. The
little republic is anxious to learn
the feeling in Washington toward
it as there is n growing sentiment
toward requesting au American ol
British protcctorate.

THE SAMOAN TREATY RATIFIED.
Mr.. Bacon Made the Main Argumen
Against the Treaty-hIs
Objections.

Washington, The Senate to-
day ratified the Samoan treaty,
without division. The ratification
occurred in the executive session
after two hours of debate, which
was participated i'll by a number
of senator's. Mcsscrs. Davis, For
aker and Spooncr advocated and
Senators Bacon, Money and Iillman
opposed ratification.
Senator Bacon made the leading
speech in opposition. lie based
his objection upon the general
oround that it WAS contrary to the
spirit Of our institutions toattcmpt
to govern the people in opposition
of their wishes. He said that he
was not opposed to the new con
veniion because Of any partIality
felt for the old tri partie agree
mcnt, which was quite asrepugnant
to him as the new. He thought,
however, a means might be found
to that end without resorting to a
~ubterfuoe which was rcpuIsivc to
| all American ideas Of liberty aud
independence. There was no
doubt OF the intention TO annex
and exercise sovereignty in place
of the protcctoratc, which was the
distinguishing feature Of the tri-
partic agreement Of 1890. To
this proposed change of policy he
objected most strcnuously. lie
compared the provisions of the
two agreements at some length,
showing that the old one made
express provision for the approval
of the Samoan government, OF
change and guaranteed the in
dependence of the Samoan govern
ment, whereas the pending instru
ment annuls adj sovereignty Of the
Samoan government andpartiIion'
the islands between the United
States and Germany.
Mr.. Bacon said that the friend,
of the treaty supported it upor
the two grounds that it simply
divides authority heretofore cX
crcised jointly and that the 81
moan people being "only savages
there is no reason why they shoul,
not be despoilcd of their country
he c0ntended that it was net tru,
that the old arrangement wa
simply to be continued under Il di
vision ofauthority and asserted tina
the declaration that the Samoan
people were savages was untenabIe
| The United States had in many
ways recognized the Samoan gov
crnmcnt, guaranteeing It's indie
pendcncc and making a treaty o
amity and friendship with its gov
ernmcnt.
"We don't, "hc continued, "mukC
treaties of friendship with savagcs
He claimed that the propose,
change should not be made with
out the consent Of the natives" "
In conclusion Mr.. Bacon said h
was willing that the United State
I should acquire the island Tutuila
! with its PagoPago harbor if tha
could be done in the proper MAJ
ncr and without violating all {
our rriucirlcs in securing contrC

Have You Seen It2

OF course you have seen the adyer-
tisement Of S. 1. Boring in this issue,
but have you seen the new cash regis
ter at his store? His description is
good but no story ever written can do
the machine justice. 1t does every
thing but ask you to call again but the
polite clerks and the bargains received
leave nothing to complain of along this
line. 1t is one of the finest pieces OF
mechanism ever seen in johnson City
and it will interest you to take a look
at it. 1t is money saver, labor saw
er and time saver for both customer
and merchant, 1t don't take money to
work it. If your credit is good at the
house the machine works just the
same.
