During the morningConsul Blacklock received a note from thoGerman consul saying that the Germanmen-of-w- ar wero goiug nn the coast 4tostop tho lighting in behalf: of an etl'ectiveprotection of German interests, and also todisarm tho Mataafa and Tamasese forces."Consul Blacklock protested in the name oftho United States against the act of theGerman consul, which would place tholives and property of tho Ameri-cans in greatest danger, and that theiraction was in direct conflict with powersconferred upon tho representatives of thothree treaty nations. Soon afterthe Nipsicarrived at Latongo Capt. Mnllan, witht luce of the ship's officers, went on boardthe Adler todemaud consul Knapp's reasonfor having declared his intention to stopthe war without consulting tho consuls.The German consul replied discourteouslyto Capt. Mnllan and said he would hold nocommunication with an American navalcaptain, aud would be responsible for hisacts to his government. Soon after this,the captain of tho Adler sent word to Capt.Mullan, who had returned to the Nipsic,that he intended to bombard Ladly beforedark. A protest was sent to tho captain ofthe Adler, and as the latter had shown noinclination to notify Mataafa to remove thewomen and children, Capt. Mullan sent cnoof his officers ashore for that purpose. TheAdler did not bombard the townthat night, but returned ontho following morning and beganto bombard Ladly, which has been evac-uated the night previonr. Thirty-fou- rshells were fired by the Adler, and thenfour boat loads of sailors were landed fromthe Olga and Adler, who burned the village,including two small Roman Catholicchurches. The ships then returned to Apia.

On Dec 18, Consul Knapp sent a letter toMataafa, telling him the German shipswould shell his village unless ho came onboard the German man-of-w- ar before noonon Dec. IX), and caused his people to give upall their guns. Mataafa did not reply tothis letter, but sent back word, after thebattle, that ho was sorry to kill the Ger-man sailors, but that the Samoans intendedto fight for their liberty, and would fightwhoever attacked them. .

Upon tho afternoon of Dec. 20, the threeconsuls met te arrive at some settlementof the trouble. Mataafa's presence was de-fcir- ed

by the United Stases and British con-suls, but the German consul refused to meethim, and the meeting had no result. Onthe following day theuerman consul issueda proclamation, ordering the Samoans tobring their fire-ar- ms on board the Olga dur-ing the da) and that if this was not donetho ship would bombard tho village ofMatafagata. Consul Blacklock at oncereturned a protest, and at the same timeinformed him that E. L. Hamilton, anAmerican citizen and formerly tho UnitedStates vice-cons-ul in Apia, owned threehouses in Matafagata over which tho Amer-ican flag had been placed, adding that ifthis property was damaged, the Germaugovernment would bo held respon

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.Washington, Jan. 19. Vice-presidentel-

ect

Morton was at the Capitol at 10:30o'clock this morning. Ho went immediatelyto tho private room of the Vice-preside- nt,

and was closeted with Mr. Ingalls, Presi-dent pro tempore of the Senate, lor upwardsof an hour. Mr. Ingalls gave him a greatdeal of information in regard to tho man-agement of the Senate. Mr. Morton be-lieves that ho is now very well equipped as.respects information relative to his duties,and he will henceforth bo more of a general spectator of tho proceedingsthan a private pupil of the .

ofli-- .cers or the fcenate. Alter leavingMr. Ingalls, the next Vice-preside- nt, wentup into the Senate gallery and viewed thework from that location tor some time.

For the first time in several years, whenthere has not existed a vacancy in the Vice-presiden- cy

by reason of death, there will bechosen a President pro tempore of the Sen-ate very soon after the 4th of March. With-in a day or two after the inauguration ithas been arranged that Vice-preside- nt Mor-ton will absent himself from the Senate,without designating a Senator to oc-cupy the presiding official's chair. Itwill then bo in order for tho Senateto choose a President pro tern. This couldnot be done if Vico-preside- nt Morton wasin the chair, or if ho should designate anyone to act during his absence. The Vice-preside- nt

may designate some one to fill thechair in his absence, a day at a time, forthree days, and if he should bo absent lc-yo- nd

that period it is necessary for theSenate to choose a President pro tempore.President Arthur did not make itnecessary for tho Senate to choosea President pro tempore, because theSenate at that time was Democratic,and a Democrat would have beenselected, and a Democrat would thereforehad been in the lino of succession to thopresidency. Vice-preside- nt Hendricks al-ways designated some one to occupy thechair in his absence, and never made it pos-sible for the Senate to select a Presidentpro tempore, because the Senate was Re-publican, and therefore a Republican wouldnave been placed in the line of presidentialscccession. Of course, when Vice-preside- nt

Hendricks died, there was nothing to pre-vent the Republicans from putting Mr.Sherman in tne chair of the President of theSenate. When Mr. Arthur succeeded to thepresidency it willbe remembered that DavidDavis, of Illinois, was selected as a com-promise. Mr. Davis was an independentDemocrat. The Senate now being in accordwith the politics of the Vice-preside-nt, ithas been concluded that the President protempore should be selected at a very earlyday after the 4th of March, and Mr. Ingallsis to be retained in that position. Mr.Ingalls, as President pro tempore of the Sen--,ate, draws a Vice-presiden- t's salary, $8,000,but the President pro tempore of the Senateonly draws the salary of a Senator whenthere is a Vice-preside- nt.

Fatal Railway Accident.Marquette, Mich., Jan. 19. As the east-boun- d

O. G. Davidson, of Commonwealth, atthe time of the accident was playing cardswith Lieutenant-governo- r McDonald, Mr.Tuttlo and Mr. Corcoran.. He says that thefirst intimation that he had that anythingwas wrong, was a jolting sensation, andthen tho car swayed two or three times andturned on its side. He remembered noth-ing more until he found himself two orthree hundred feet in the rear of the trainin the snow. It seems that the car inturning over struck a stump, which pene-trated it between the men who were play-ing cards. Mr. Tuttle, who was seated inthe seat to the rear of the table, wasinstantlv killed, his neck being broken.Mr. McDonald was in tho same seatwith him. r and his arm was tornout of the shoulder and was found at leastforty feet from tho body.

On Dec. 17, tho United States consul senta protest to the German consul, assertingthat the conduct of the Germans had beenoutrageous, and had placed American livesand property in jeopardy. At 7 o'clock onthe morning of Dec. 17 the Olga left Apiaand steamed up the coast, and returnedthat evening with Tainasese's secretary on

2 o'clock in the morningthrce German men-of-w- ar

boats approached about half a milesibove the British consulate, and were dis-tinctly seen by the British consul. It wasevidently their intention to land and pro-re- ed

to Matafagatelo on foot. Soldiers ofMataafa gathered on tho shore and askedKlein to ask the Germans not to land, as itwould be regarded as a hostile act, and thatthey would be tired upon. This was shouted1o them when the boats were fifty yardsfrom the shore. The boats came on towardthe shore, and when they received a sec-ond warning two boats pulled outtowards the sea, and went to a villagecalled Vailele, four miles from Apia. Athird boat kept along the coast, being stillfollowed by SlataafaS soldiers. When op-posite Matafagata, the boat pulled straightacross the bay to a point on the other ex-tremity. A Mataafa chief, followed byight or nine men, ran around the edge of

the bay to intercept the boat when oppositethe villa ga of Fageli. The boat pulled rap-idly for the shore, and at the same momentthree men on horseback, carrying lanterns,rode out of the bush and signaled the menin the boats. Simultaneously a number ofGerman soldiers rose from the bottom ofthe boat, where they had been concealed,and began to wade ashore. Some of Ma-taafa's men had come up in thomeantime, and the Germans began shoot-ing at them. The natives did notreturn the fire. The Germans were soonlanded and took shelter behind some risingpronnd. As soon as they gained this posi-tion they at once opened lire on Mataafa'smen. Within a miuuto fully SO0 shots hadbeen fired by tho Germans and black la-borers, natives of other islands, who wereemployed on German plantations. In themeantime Mataafa's reinforcements beganto arrive from Matafagata, and as tneycame up heavy volley tiring could be heardfrom the direction of Vailele, and in a fewjainutcj a chief arrived and said the Ger-mans wero firing on Mataafa's men there,

--who were afraid to return the fire, althoughthe Germans had already killed Savay, achief, and his son. The chief, who came as amessenger, asked Klein if they would bojustified in returning the fire on the Ger-mans, he declined to advise them, but re-quested of a high chief who accompanied thelatter to Apia, to olitaiu the opinion of theUnited States viec-i:au- l; but the consnlalso refused to give any advice. Shortlyafterwards the native came into Apiafrom Faseli and Vailele, saying thatMa'aafa'rt men had driven the Germansailors from tho breast-work- s. The blacklaborers nad run into the bush and refusedto fight longer. Tho Germans had runalong the beach to Vailele at such a rapidrate that the native Roldiers could not over-take them. At Vailele there were about 150sailors, one boat-loa- d having been landedduring the night by tho German man of-w- ar

Kber. At Vailele the sailors who hadfled from Faseli joined their comrades whohad left in the two other boats, and alsothe sailors from theEber. They formed ahollow square and began shooting at Ma-taafa'sm- en.

Soon after two of thelatterhadbeen killed, and they began to return thotire. The native soldiers began to increasein numbers, attracted by the firing, andtired from behind the trees and from thobushes. Tho sailors became panic-stricke- n,

and, despite the etl'orts of their three of-ficers, threw away their gunsandran underthe German plantation houses in the vicini-t- y

and into the bush. They were followedby natives, who shot them wherever theyfound them. Lieutenant Sieger, of theOlea, was shot and killed while trying torally his men, and two other officers werewounded. A number of sailors managedto e.vrapo by jumpinir into the boats andputtingout to sea. They were picked upry the Eber, which had come upon hearingtii firing. Tho bodies of the dead Germausailors were left lying on the ground, wherothey were found and taken away undercover of the German ships on tho followingday.

Bismarck's Colonial Policy.Copyright, 1889, hy the New York Associated Press.1Berlin. Jan. 19. Tho Bundesrath will

disposo of the East Africa bill without de-lay, and it will be submitted to the Reichs-tag at the end of the week, when it willevoke the long-expect- ed declaration fromPrince Bismarck on the government'6 colo-ci-al

policy and its relations with England.Tho measure, it is believed: will bo finallypassed by a large majority. . The measure isknown in parliamentary circles as the out-come of an agreement between tho leadersof the government groups after a communi-cation with Prince Bismarck. The Centerparty will also approve of following thepolicy observed during last Tuesday'sdebate. Tho opposition will thus oeleft to tho Progressists only, andthis will narrow the . debate intolively encounters between: the Chancellorand his persistent assailants. An impor-tant part of tho bill tho proposals relatingto the enrolling and disposition of leviesit is understood, will be settled in a secretsitting of tho committee. Interest reallycenters in what Princo Bismarck willchoose to reveal concerning the co-operat-

of England.It is noted hero that Enclish opinion

against colonial extension by Germanygains ground, and even Conservative paperssuggest that Lord Salisbury weakly yield-ed to the requests of Prince Bismarck,without knowing how far the Chancellor'sdesigns extended. Probably Bismarck willfrankly disclose how completely tho En-glish, government has been apprised ofevery phase of tho German policyas embodied in tho East Africa bill.He is desirous of preventing the EnglishLiberals from making party capital fromtho concerted action of tho governments.Every suggestion coming from Lord Salis-bury during the negotiations has been ac-cepted here. Tho Chancellor will, there-fore, announce absolute harmony in the co-operations.

Tho Morier incident has not had theslightest effect on the relations between thetwo governments, but it may have formedtho subject of conversation during tho re-cent interviews between Princo Bismarckand Sir Edward Malet, tho British embassa-dor. Officially, Salisbury leaves Morier tofight his own duel. Tho diplomatic circleis confident that Princo Bismarck has a6troug card in reserve against Morier, andwill probably oblige Lord Salisbury totake official notice of tho affair by trans-ferring Morier from St. Petersburg to somopost that has less influence on Europeanpolitics.

The Outrages lit Alaska,Washington. Jan. 19.The annual re

port of Governor Swineford upon the operations of the Alaska Commercial Companywas laid before both houses of Congress today. The Governor reaffirms and emphasizes the accusations heretofore made byhim against the company in its dealingswith the natives living on the seal islands.Concerninc the treatment of these he hasno word of complaint. He also says thatthe company's contract with the govern-ment relative to tho taking of fur seal is,in his opinion, faithfully observed, ihecompany's treatment of tho mainland na- -lives ne cnaractenzes as unjust anu crueiin the extreme. Referring to the denial ofthe charges against the company in his lastannual report, no says: "i now reueraieevery one of those charges, thonghl know full well mat an investiga-tion made by a committee of Congress,holding its sessions in Washington, andcalling as witnesses only those who havebeen recipients of the company's favors,is not likely to arrive at any justconclusion as to their truth or falsity. I canonly say that each and every statement Ihave made concerning the operations ofthe company is susceptible of the clearestand most convincing proof, but evidencewill not be found lying around loose in thecities of Washington and San Francisco. Itmust be sought for among people who havesuffered its oppressions, rather than in thopersons of those who have had free trans-portio- n

on its ships and been wined anddined at tho tables of its officers and agents.A sub-committ- ee of Congress going overthe route taken by me in the recent cruiseof the Thetis, assuring the people of pro-tection against still greater' oppressionafter its departure, will have no difficultywhatever in finding the evidence td provethe truth of every statement I have made."

A Maharajah's Jewels.Mr. "W. S. Caine writes from India of his

visit to the Maharajah of Baroda. "Wowere." he says, "taken to the old palace, inthe heart of the city, to see the treasuro-roo- m.

Two huge cheetahs, carefully muz-zled, were on the palace steps, used forhunting bucks. Tho regalia of Baroda isvalued at 3,000,000 pounds sterlin g. We werefirst shown the jewels worn by the Maharajah on state occasions. These consist of ftgorgeous collar of 500 diamonds, some ofthem as big as walnuts, arranged in fivo,rows, surrounded by a top and bottom rowof emeralds the same size; the pendant is afamous diamond called 'The Star of thoDeccan.' An aigrette to match is worn inthe turban; then followed strings of pearlsof perfect roundness, graduated from the6izc of a pea to a largo marble: wondrousrings, necklaces, clusters of sapphiresand rubies as big as grapes; and, greatestmarvel of all, a carpet about ten feet bysix, made entirely of strings of pure andcolored pearls, with great central and cor-ner circles of diamonds. This carpet tookthree years to make, and cost 200.000. .Thiswas one of Khande Kao's mad freaks, andwas intended to be sent to Mecca to pleas aMohammedan lady who had fascinated him.but the scandal o! 6uch a thing being dormby a Hindoo Princo was too serious, and itnever left Baroda. We were also taken tosee two guns, weighing SS0 pounds each, ofsolid gold, with two companions of silver,the ammunition wagons, bullock harnessand ramrods being all silver. These weremade at the order of Malhar Kao, to takethe shine out of Khande Rao's carpet. Isuspect the present Maharajah would likenothing better than to coin them down intogood money and build the technical school,which is one of his dearest hopes."

Valuable Deposit of Cement Rock.Baraboo (Wis.) Special.

It has been discovered that there are im-

mense deposits of cement rock of a gradequal to that from which the famous Port-land cement is produced, on each side of theromantic canvon, near Devil's lake, knownas Parfrey's Gorge. The beds are believedto cover an area of over two hundred acresand to extend from 500 to TOO feet into thebowels of tho earth. The walls of thgorge proper aro composed of pudding-ston- e,

or wnat the geologists call conglom-erate a mass of pebbles and bowlders,varying in size from that of a buckshot tochunks weighing tons, firmly bound in s

matrix of solid cement. The rock rivalsgranite in its solidity and attests the stay-ing qualities of tho cement which under-lies the entire formation in the vicinitv.Outside of the gorge the cement rock is ab-solutely pure and free from foreign matter.Nothing like it has yet been discovered, onAmerican soil. Tho value of this mine canbe computed from the estimated area ofthe deposit, multiplied by the last quota-tion on Portland cement, which is above$3 per barrel, whilo common domestic, orso-call- ed hydraulic cement, is worth con-siderah- ly

less than 81 per barrel

Wonders of the Sea.The sea occupies three-fifth- s of the earth'a

surface.A mile down the water has a pressure of a

ton to the square inch.It has been proven that at the depth of

3,500 feet the waves aro not felt.At some places the force of tho sea dash-

ing against the rocks on the Ehore is 6aid tobo seventeen tons to the square yard.

The temperature is the same, varyingonly a trifio from the ice of tho pole to thoburning sun of the equator.

The water is colder at tho bottom than atthe surface. In the many ba3's on the coastof Norway tho water often freezes at thebottom before it does above.

If a box six feet deep were filled with seawater, and the water allowed to evaporatein tho sun, t hero woald be two inches ofHalt left at the bottom. Taking the avcragadepth of the ocean to be threo miles, therewould be a layer of pure salt 23) feet thickon the Atlautic.

POINTS FOB GCKSSERS.

A Few Simple Test "Which Illustrate Com-mon Error of Judgment.

Pittshurg Dispatch.A crank who is an occasional visitor to a

down-tow- n office entered the place theother day when nobody appeared to bevery busj'. Someone was telling a story inwhich he made mention of some object"about the sizo of a silver dollar," whenthe crank interrupted the speaker with thoremark;

"I'll bet $T. there isn't a man in this officewho can tell without measuring what thoexact size of a silver dollar is."

The bet was not taken, for nobody knew.Tho crank went on:

T am also willing to give $."5 to the manwho will take his pen or pencil and draw aline which shall represent the exact diame-ter of a silver dollar."

Upon this all hands made the attempt. Apiece of paper was taken, and each took histurn at drawing a line upon it. When allhad finished tho crank took a dollar fromhis pocket and placed it successively overeach of the marks. Some of them were tooIon ir bv half an inch, and some lacked nlmost that much in length. There wasn'tone which was not as much as an eighth ofan inch out of the way. The eccentric vis-itor said:

'For men who handlo as much money nayou do, it is tdrange you are not more, fa-miliar with its size and appearance. Nowlet me test your judgement in another mat-ter. Here is a long sheet of white paperwhich I will place upright against the wallback of this table. Now take your pencilsand mark on tho paper what you think istho height of an ordinary silk'hat. Some ofyon have a silk hat here, I suppose!''

"Miue is in the other room," answeredone of the clerks.

"Well, let it stay there until we want it.Now trv to guess how tall tho hat is, andmark the paper accordingly."

The estimates atl'orded a enjrious illustra-tion of the way men's opinions will differeven about a small matter. Between thoshortest and the longest rmjrk there was adifference of nearly lour inches. When thohat was brought out and ot upon the tableagainst the paper, all the, marks, with twoexceptions, were from on6 to three inchestoo Ion g. The nearest g,uss was made by aman who made a mark about three-quarte- rs

of an inch too short. Then tho crankasked for an estimate, of the difference inthe height of his der.4)y and tho silk hat.The gnesxers didn't !ome as near as before.--That is the way it is," Paid the crank."People have an idra that a high hat is everso much higher tjhan a common one, vetyou will find, if you measure both, that thedinercne is very little. The eye that isnot trained in measuring distances willlead its possessor into some serious errorsof judgment.'''
