Admiral Porter’s Views of the Samoan Situation. Admiral Porter, who celebrated his golden wedding last night commemorating a half cen- tury of matrimony, and in June will celebrate three-quarters of a century of human existence and almost as many years of mundane glory, is a close observer of the stirring events which may culminate in a war between the United States and Germany, and before it is over in a very radical change in the map of Europe. The admiral’s office has all the appearance of the quarters of a naval hero. On the walls hang numerous pictures of the great naval engagements in which British arrogance on the sea was humbled by American valor. On tables about the room lie charts of every ocean, with Samoa, the German seaports ate f waters, and the tracks of German commerce as the sub- jects of special study, Volumes on nautical topics fill the cases, and models and weapons of nautical warfare give the spacious apartment a belligerent aspect. FIGHTING FOR A PRINCIPLE. Since the Samoan complications the admiral, with the assistance of his secretary and aid, has made a very careful study of the situation from anaval stand point, In speaking on the sub- ject to a Star reporter he said: “A pin is worth fighting for if a principle is involved. The first war with Great Britain was for prin- ciple, and it gave us our independence and national existence. The war of 1812 was for principle, and gave us our maritime independ- ence, The war with Mexico was for a princi- ple, and gave us the subjugated possessions on our whole Pacific coast. The war for the Union was for ciple, and resulted in the restoration of the authority of the Constitu- tion and gave uss people north and south animated by a military spirit which will be equal to every possible requirement. THE SAMOAN SITUATION. “Thave carefully investigated the stories about the Nipsic. It looks as if they were put out at the instigation of Bismarck to test the sentiment of his own andour people. He has never been a friend of the United States. He will find out very promptly the temper of the American people. “Of course we are weak at mnt on the ocean,” he continued, “but there is a plan which will meet the emergency and will badly cripple Germany while we are getting ready. No one supposes that the American people would give up the contest until Germany had | received a sound drubbing. We have surplus | and revenues enough,with taxes now at a mini- | mum point, to carry on desultory war until we are in fighting trim, While we are getting ready we can prohibit anufactures into the U: fan important item in the monetary ac- tivity of Germany. We send many mil- lions there to pay for goods. If, for the | time being Germany should try to blockad our ports ‘in less than sixty days we would find | an English fleet sooner or later on our coaste | involved in protecting her own trade with the | United States, A hundred millions and more of British goods finding a market in the United | States could not be cut off without ruining British industries. France would also have an interest. Meanwhile we could get along with- out their goods, if necessary. So that Engiand and France would be forced as a measure of | industrial self-defense to protect their vessels and their trade with the United States. THE NEED OF A NAVY. “As the country knows, I have been urging. in letters and reports, the importence of build. ing up a powerful navy. We have the wealth | and resources to lead the world in a navy. | taking matters as they are the government should go to England and France, both coun- tries being ahead of Germany in modern naval vessels and guns, and buy all the rifled guns we can find and bring them here. We will | very soon make use of them.” “Here is « list of the entire strength of the German navy. It is more than we have, but | we have the money and couid easily spend | $250,000,000 in ships and appliances of war There is League Island, at Philadelphia, tin grandest place on the continent for a grea: navy-yard. If we can build one we can build | firty ships right there. It is inaccessible to a | foreign fleet. The channel of the yiver could | be lined with torpedoes if necessary, or they might be operated from the shore. Ships could be built there with all the terials near athand. Of course this would take time. In the meantime we would be compelled to resort to other modes of offensive war. With $50,000.000, in sixty days {[ could put an improvised fleet in motion which would j 2e, where they are. We have fleet shy id pick them out now. We could buy more. They would answer for privateers, About the time we would have this part of the work dis of German industries affected by foreign trade | would be paralyzed, while we would be at the | height of prosperity. Weare always prosperous | fo begis Agutiog. Ts might be foeeis | to » it ‘ible it . The European aspect a present another complication.” } The admiral has the whole subject mapped | out. Fortunately he is in vigorous health, with | a clear mind,and has vast still atthe service of his country. Dr. Stone’s Libel Suit.

Loxpox, March 12.—The Parnell commission resumed its sitting to-day. An accountant tes- | tified that he had examined the books of the | Hibernian bank, but was unable to trace the | persons to whom the money on checks was paid | or whence the checks came. Between Novem- | ber, 1879, and September, 1882, the league re- | ceived £261,269 and paid out £261,276. The bank refuses to allow witness to examine its | lodgement slips. The league paid to the la- j dies’ league £12,306 and to the relief fund £2,025 and disbursed £10,000 in the defense of prisoners, The witness farther testified that he had ex- amined the league's books.

Mr, Parnell gave bis consent to such an examination, ANOTHER FALSE WITNESS, Mr. Coffee, a reporter from Cork, testified that he bad made a statement to a policeman, who promised him that he should be paid be- Yond his greatest expectations, Witness de- clared that that statement was absolutely false.

Sunday the Cheyenne special cor respondent sent out a most biood-<1 ace count of the killing of five Freuch tourists in Yellowstone Park. Yesterday Genera! Passen- ger Agent Chas. 8, Fee, of the Northern Pacific, made the following statement in answer to « question regarding the probability of the story: “The article says Gerry the guide was win- tering in Montana and picked up there a party | of five French tourists who were en route from the Pacitic coast. In this case they must have come over the Northern Pacitic east, and if contemplating a winter trip through the | Would have outfitted either at Bozeman or Live igston, preferably the latter point, which is but fifty miles from Cinnabar on the park | boundary, which point can be reached di the winter months on our park branch trains three times per week. It is further stated that they journeyed in emigrant wagons and for three weeks they camped in Rattlesnake canon where the tourists were murdered.

To have reached Rattle Snake canon, Gerry, who is represeuted as wintering in Montana, must have taken | the people from some station on our jline, possibly Helena, to Cheyenne, a distance of about eight hundred ‘miles, @ proposition so ridiculous as to make the canard more laughable even than the story about the outlaws, ludians and the mysterious | disappearance of Gerry, who was to conduct @ searching party to the park to inter the re- mains of the tourists murdered at a point some three hundred miles sonth of the southern boundary of the Yellowstone park, None of our agents at Livingston, Bozeman or Helena know of any big! attempting to make this winter, and Supt, | Lamertine, in charge of roads and bridges im | the park for the past five years, wires me that there 1s no such place as Rattle Snake canon im the park; no scout in the park named Gerry end no party of tourists, and that no Indiag has been near the park for over two yeara, The whole report is a hoax on the face of it.” DEADLY MUD RUN. Another Fatality there, Involving @ Strange Coincidence. Pa., March 12—Ottoman Schmidt, of Wilkesbarre, while walking on the track this morning, was struck and instantly nger train receipts.
