have an ounced themselves republicans,
two of whom where avowed in their
purpose to vote the republican ticket
two years ago. This certainly does not
look hke a serious defection. But, even
if it had Leen otherwise—if there had
been a considerable movement if deser-
tior^threatened, would it not not have
beeii the part of patriotism and wisdom
to nave counselled harmony and unity
and to have begged every man to sacri-
nce his views on this economic question
for the deeper issues that are involved in
democratic supremacy, to put down his
doubts and gird up his loins once more
for democracy ? Would not that have
been better than to have denounced and
and to have bruta I r demanded that

Now, when the very reverse is true,
when the protection democrats, so-called,
in e\ ery state, north and south, stood by
their guns and fought for democracy,
and in the hour of defeat only drew
closer under the trailing flag—is it not
strange that democrats should be found
to constanly denounce and deride them
1 his is not the way to victory! It is
not the way to that harmony of the best
elements in the south that alone can
give us peace and pr. sperity, or o that

New Yoke, Feb. 2.—The Commercial
Advertiser positively announces that
James G. Blaine has been offered and has
accepted the position of secretary of
state in President Harrison’s cabinet and
that John Wan maker has accepted the
position of postmaster general.
This is the first announcement of these
facts. This infor
mation is received
from one of the
most pr minent re
public;.ns in this
country, and his
authority is a direct
c o m m u n i cation
from Indian polis,
.the Advertiser says.
Mr. Blaine and Mr.
Wan a maker have
written letters ac-
4. n. m.AixB. cepting the port-
foli re. and .are preparing to move to
Washingt n in March.
Senator Allison has been offered the
position of secretary of the treasury, but
he has positively -declined. He
went to Indianapolis recently, and
after a long consolation said
that he could not accept the position, but
urged the appointment of J. S. Clarkson,
of iowa. He ‘aid the people of his state
desired Mr. Clarkson to go into the cabi
net, and this was his personal de ire.
Gen. Ha rison used every argument to
induce Senator Allison to change his
mind, but the senator firmly declined to
do so. The pressure to accept the posi
tion has not been taken off Senator Alli
son. a..d many think he will finally
yield.
Direct information from Indianapolis,
however, enal les the. Ad ertser to say
that Mr. Allison has declined thehmor
for once and all. Mr. Allison is an aspir
ant for president al honors, and his
friends say it would be suicidal lor him
to accept a portfolio under the incoming
president. Mr. Harrison has left the
matter open for a certain time, hoping
that Senator Allison may cha .ge his
mind. - *

Preliminary Facts Restated—Tho German
Charges Against tho American, Klein,
Ills Account of tho Samoan Troubles—A
Bloody Repulse of the Germans.
Matters look serious in Samoa, and if
the Germans get out of the imbroglio
without paying damages to British and
American residents there, and, indeed,
without more serious trouble with the
United States, it will be in spite of the
blunders and follies of their consul in
Samoa. The important fact, admitted
by both sides to the quarrel, is that the
Germans, after long aiding one Samoan
party with arras and encouraging them
to attack the other, have at last taken
a hand themselves and been badly
punished, losing twenty-two men killed
and thirty-two wounded; many of whom
will di,:. Furious at this repulse by a
handful of savages, the German consul
now threatens to have the Samoan towns
on the coast bombarded, regardless of
tlib lives and property of British and
Ameri*•ails doing business In them. In-
drt**l. some of this has already been done,
ami at the time of the last mail steamer's
departure matters were in a very critical
state.
Unfortunately, we have as yet the ac
count of but one side. To understand it
a brief repetition is necessary of oft pub
lished Facta By the treaty of 1878 the
independence of
the Samoan mon
archy was guar
anteed; the Uni*
ted States was
granted the right
toesjbablish a coal
ing station at the
uort of Pan go
Pango. and there
was to be no in-
terference with
domestic affairs
except by the joint action of the con
suls of the three governments. A re
bellion was started, however, against
Malietoa, the legitimate king; the Ger
mans took the side of Tamascse,
the rol>el, made him king, and took
Malietoa, as captive, first to Africa
to another island. They then
made a treaty with the new king grant
ing them special privileges. Against all
tins the British and American consuls
protested, and the Malietoa party made
head under a new leader, Mataafa. He
and his men are now denounced as
“rebels" by the Germans, but are sus
tained by a large majority of the Sa
moans The troubles continued, and the
home governments slowly waked up to
the importance of the matter, till now
each nation has its war vessels there, sub-
j«M-t to the direction of its consul; the
Germans continue to interfere and the
British and Americans continue to pro
test. And as to the very latest develop
ment of this peculiar controversy we
have only the testimony of Mr. Jolra C.
Klein. American citizen and correspond
ent *>f The New York World, who is him
self accused by the Germans of inciting
ami assisting the Mataafa “rebellion.”
Through the first two weeks of Decem
ber. says Mr. Klein, the Mataafa army
continued"to gain on the Tamasese
party, killing ninety of .the rebels (the
Germans, bo it remembered, call the
other side rebels) and capturing part of
,their principal fort, the Germans advis
ing the Tamasese men and supplying
them with ammunition. The Mataafa
men have 2,500 Snider rifles, and got
20,000 cartridges for them in Apia (he is
careful not to say of whom) by paying
eleven cents apiece for them. Both sides
have proclaimed deguello (no quarter),
and there are no lists of prisoners. All
this time German sailors and marines
continue to parade the streets of Apia
and insult natives and whites of other
nations. Apia is respected by both na
tive parties as neutral ground; but the
situation is so delicate that the American
consulate is protected by sand bags and
guarded by details of marines from the
United States war ship Nipsic, while the
British have taken tho women and cliil-
dren of their consulate in a war ship, and
the consul ashore maintains an attitude
of “expectancy”—wliatever that may
mean. #**
Of course, this state of mutual sus
picion soon resulted in affrays. Alterca
tions lietvreen natives took place in Apia,
in breach of its neutrality. A Swede
named Danielson was beaten and stabbed
by two German officers for ridiculing a
picture of Emperor William. It is worth
noting that this took place .in a saloon,
and that-the officers were drunk. A few
days later a large party of German sailors
came ashore and got drunk, drove Mr.
Cusack, an Englishman, out of town,
and damaged his property, wliipped and
stablied George and Morris Scanland,
Americans, beat an old native woman
nearly to death for abusing them, and
maltreated many other natives. Ma
taafa s men in the bush were eager to
rush into town and kill the Germans
while they were drunk, but United
States Vice Consul Blacklock persuaded
them to'refrain.
In the meantime Capt. Hand, of the
British man-of-war Royalist, 6ent a per
emptory notice to Capt. 1^-itz, of the
German war ship Adler, that if the
drunken sailors were not immediately
taken from Apia he would land his ma
rines and clean them out. His language
was diplomatic, but it meant just that
Before they could be got out, how
ever, the Germans whipped another
Englishman and broke the lamps
in the English part of Apia. The usual
protects followed, but all was soon for
gotten in the excitement caused by
another move of the Germans.
mam Lave decided to put au end to the
trouble by landing their own men there
and massacring all tho “rebels” in a
night surprise. The wife proved to be a
sympathizer with Mataafa, and at once
sent him full details of tho plot. As to
what followed there are two flatly con
tradictory accounts. The Germans say
that Klein hastened to the “rebel” camp
with ammunition, and ‘virtually took
command; that under his advice Mataafa

about one-quarter
evidently standing well out from shore,
through a desire not to be observed. The
boats kept pulling up tho coast, at the
same time heading slightly towards
shore, as though intending to land as
soon as the incoming tide would give
them a favorable, opportunity to do so.
The soldiers of the king kept following
them up, however, crouching in tbe rifle
pits scattered along the shore, made by
Mataafa’s men in the battle of Matautu
last September.
“When at the mouth of what is known
here as the ‘first’
about three-
river,
fourths of a mile beyond the British con
sulate the German boats had approached
within fifty yards of shore and were
evidently about to land. The white suits
of the men-of-war sailors could easily be
distinguished, and the fact was also dis
cernible that they were in boats belong
ing to one of the German men-of-war in
the harbor. The rowlocks of the boats
were muffled. The men could be heard
conversing in German in low tones. In
the largest boat, which was darker in
appearance than the other two, could be
seen only five or six dark forms, re
sembling natives.
“Behind the rifle pita on shore, among
the brush and cocoanut trees and about
twenty-five yards from the water’s edge,
were the 150 Mataafa men, each ready
to repel the attack if the Germans began
hostilities. Several chiefs were present
Only a few natives could speak English,
and these imperfectly. I was, therefore,
asked by one of the chiefs to call out to
the boats in English and warn them not
to land, it being the desire of Mataafa’s
men not to fire upon the occupants if
they proved to be Germans unless abso
lutely compelled to do so.
“I therefore called out In English,
‘Boat ahoy!’ repeating this three times.
At the first hail the Germans could be
heard talking among themselves in low
tones of surprise that they had been dis
covered. No answer was returned to
the succeeding hailing cries, although
the boats kept constantly coming closer
to the shore. I then called out:
“ ‘I am told to tell you not to try to
land; if you do you will be fired upon.’
The boats still paid no attention to the
warning, and again 1 called to them:
“ ‘Do not come closer. If you come
ashore your blood will be on your own
heads.’
“At this time the Germans were not
more than fifty yards from the breecli-
loading guns of the Mataafa men. Had
the latter been anxious to shoot or desir
ous of bringing on a conflict, probably
not one of the occupants of the boats,
who numbered perhaps one hundred and
fifty, could have escaped. The Mataafa

The Germans, continues Mr; Klein,
stood out from the shore and went
farther up the coast to where there were
some German plantations, the Mataafa
men following along the shore. Finally
the Germans landed and then the Sa
moans appealed to Mr. Klein for advice,
and he loft. Here is his statement:
“While I had a decided opinion of my
own upon the subject I declined to take
the responsibility of advising them in
any way upon the subject. The high
chief previously referred to then asked
me to return with him to Apia for the

whatever in regard to the matter, but
agreed to accompany the chief to Apia

Chiidren suffering from these dcstructable para-
sytes can’t be relieved by so-called worm lozen-
gers which only tickle the palate. The time-tried
tested cure is B. A. Fahnestock’s Vermifuge. As
you value the life of your child, don’t wait until*
, . . , .... . . . I spasms and incurable sickness seize it, but get
a few minutes, killing t\\enty-two I tms reliable remedy at once; it never fails,
and wounding thirty-two. The lat
ter were carried off in the boats, the
Germans returned to Apia in a fury
which may easily be imagined, and the
fierce ws.r of protests and recriminations
began. The Germans shelled the towns
on the coast, regardless of the rights of
British or Americans, and finally threw
shells over Apia and into the bush be- .J
yond it, killing some of Mataafa’s men
there. And at this exciting stage of
affairs the mail steamer left, leaving the
narrative in the provoking condition of
5 “to be continued” story in a blood and
thunder newspaper.
