LixcoLy, Neb, Feb. 1.—[Special to Tnr Bee.| ~The sharp practice of the submission ists in securing the two necessary votes to carry the measure is the theme of general conversation. 1t seems that McNickle of Gage, in a moment of weakness, had prom- 18 S. S Jones, of Blue Springs,that if they could sccure 59 votes without hum, he would change his vote and make the necessary 60, Jones kept tally and McNickle did not, and when the roll call was completed, and only B8 votes had been recorded for the bill, Jones rushed to McNickle, and brazenly informed him that the 59 votos had been secured, and usisted that he should redeem his pledge. cNicklo took Jonas' word and changed his wote, being deceived By the insane howls of the submission crowd.nto the belief that ho ‘was giving the deciding vote. And now the measure, haviug 59 votes, Wilcox was caught n the same box, and was compelled to give is vote to the measure to redeem a similar pledge. Then Sweet, who was personally opposcd 10 the bill, was held by the sheer uioral force of a conclave of prohibitionists, who sur- rounded him 1 a dense mass, preventing him from seeing the speaker. Influenced also to some extent by the cry of “boodle” that had been raised, Mr. Sweet would not place himself in a position where his_honor might be compromised or placed under suspicion, and allowed his vote to stand as it had been recorded, and thus by a succession of fort ftous circumstances, and the sneaking action of the great moral leader, S. S. Joncs, the pubmissionists won the battle after to all ap. pearances it bad been hopelessly lost.

It achioved its popularity thiough the romarkablo impersonation of tho title role by the lamented McCullough. If recent representations of the picco have not at- tracted large, brilliant and enthusiastic audiences, it has been because the people had come to the conclusion tha the char- acter of the Roman parent had died with that tragedian, Tobort Downing aspires to_reach and oc cupy the plane in_the theatrical world va- ated by McCnllough. In 80 far as his re dition “of Virginius is concerned, ~his ambition s ~ mot only laudable but reasouable. Physicaily he s more than the peer of his predecessor. He is of shapely mould, dsome, honest features, and a voica oxcellently modulated and agreeable in intense outbursts as in the quicter passages of the play. His carriage 18 diguitied, bis gestures graceful, his fea- tures mobile, readily adapting themselves to cmotion to which he desires to give ox- ssion, Experience and intelligence with such a compliment of gifts from nature would seem 10 be about all that would be re- quired to enable Mr. Downing to reach the gucrdon of his hopes. With these attributes also, this gentleman has been endowed. The result as noted at Boyd's last night, is a careful, consistent, loving, forcible impor- sonation of Virginius. I1tis not_ that of an iventurer who has mistaken his power, nor it of a man who nervously reaches and ex- citedly attacks the climacteric dificultios of the part. It is rather the act of a man modestly confident of his power and no less conscious of the weritorious nature of his work. Every climax is _admi- rably reached, and iu the ascent the effect is heightened by momentary indications of conflicting emotions, which are illustrated with remarkable fidelity to nature. Mr. Downing’s articulation is very distinct, his lowest aspiration being distinctiy audible throughout the theater. In several scenes his vociferation excecds what might be ex- pected, but this is atoned for by the fact that itis not simply noise. There is soul in his every sound, and it will not bo long before Mr. Downing will have recourse, in these fea- tures, to the repression of emotion which was s0 happily cmployed by his predecessor. Mr. Downing, to our way of thinking, in_ his line, 15 without 4 peer in this country. He is supported by a good company, those most effective last night being Eugenia_Blair as Virginia and Helen Tracey as Servia, THEY PROTEST, Representative Gilchrist's Statements Denied By Sioux County Men. Harnrisox, Neb., Jan. 30.—To the Editor of Tue Bee: As members of the executive com- mittee of the Harrison board of trade, we de- sire and do enter our carnest protest against the languago used by L. W. Gilchrist, repre- sentative to the Nebraska legislature from the Iifty-third district, in reference to house roll No. 95, inasmuch as his statements of the poverty of the settlersof Sioux county are not true. Nor is it true that they are unable to fence their crops, as a large major- ity have their cultivated lands under fence, and many of them their entire farms. We deny that thero is any ill-feeling between the stock men and the farmers of Sioux county. We further assert that Mr. Gilchrist has been misinformed in regard to Wyoming cattle destroying the crops in Sioux county. Finally, we protest against the language of Mr, Gilchrist, not alone because it is false aud malicious, but because it is calculated to injure Sioux county abroad by advertising a state of affairs in Sioux county that never had any existence, and does not exist in the county to-day.

Interesting Correspondence on the Subject Transmittod to Congress— English Press Comments — America Upheld. The Samonan Affair, Wasnixaroy, Feb, 1.—~Tha prosident to day sent the following message 1o congross As supplementary to my previous mess age onthe subject, 1 have now the honor to transmit a report from the sccrctary of state relating to affairs in Samoa. GROVER CLEVELAND, Bayard to the president: “As they ques tion of German action and American rights in Samoa is under consideration by congress, 1 beg leave to transmit herowitly, with a view of their being 1aid before congress, copies of correspondence touching affairs in Somoa which have taken Janu ary 80, the date of your last message to con- gress on the subject. Tiis consists of a tol gram to this department from Mr. Black- lock, vice consul of the United States at Apia, dated January nd & paraphrase of my telegraphic instruction of the same date to our minister at Berlin, of which a copy was aiso sent to the charge d'afairs at London, and my note of the same day to Count Arc y. To-day 1 was waited upon by the German minister at this capital, who read me a note from his government, which I transcribed from his dictation, and now enclose acopy of its text.” The enclosed telegram reads SAUCKLAND, Tan, 81 declares that Germany is at o under martial law." A paraphrase of the Pendicton is as follows: “Bayard instructs the minister of the United States ut Berlin to inform_the Ger- man government that advices from Apia state that the German consul had declared Germany to be at war with Mataafa, and Samoa_to be under martial law. Bayard in- forms Minister Pendieton that the German minister at this capital, under instructions from Prince Bismarck, has alr quainted this government, of the de of war by Germany against Mataafa, and ac- companied the notification with a_statement that Germany would of course abide by the agreements with America and England touching Samos, and preserve under all cir- cumstances the rights of this government e: tablished by treaty. But in_view of advic from Apia, Bayard instructs Pendleton to say that this government has assumed that Ger- man ofticials in Samoa would be instructed carefully to refrain from interference with American citizens and property thero: hence no declaration of martial law could extend German jurisdiction 80 as to mclude control of Americans in Samoa. Such a protension could not be recognized by this government.'’ The remainder of the correspondence as transmitted by the president, reads as fol lows: DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Jan. 31.--Bayard to Count Arco-Valley—[Informs him of the receiptof a telegram from Islacklock, and says]: “Not knowing what construction might be given to his authority by the Ger- man consul at Samoa in said proclamation of martial law, I deemed it expedient at once to communicate to our minister at Berlin, in- forming him of the precise language of the telegram from Blacklock and stating that the declaration of a state of war by the G man empire against Matanfa and his party in Samoa had been previously communicated through you, and that Prince Bismarck, in his instruction to you, also stated that tho German government would of course, abide by the agrecment with America and England with respect to Samoa and pay due regard in all instructions to the rights of those powers established by treaty. Our minister at Berlia was therefore structed to make it known at the German foreign offico that the United States trusts that the German officials in Samoa would be structed scrupulously to abstain from all interference with American citizens and their property in Samoa, and that no increase of German jurisdiction over American citi- zens or their property would be caused by the German declaration of martial law; nor would such jurisdiction be conceded by the United States.” Count Arco-Valley to Bayard—[Under in- structions from the prince chancellor Febru- ary 1]: ‘“As a state of war was de- clared against Mataafa, the commander of the German squadron issued a proclamu- tion by which the foreigners established in Samoa were subjected to martial law. In- ternational law would, to a certain extent, not prevent such a measure, but as Princo Bismarek is of the opinion that our military authorities have gone too far in this in- stance, the militery commander has received telegraphic orders to withdraw that part of the proclamation concerning foreigners, In negotiating with Mataafa our consul at Samoa. has asked that the administration of the island of Samoa might be temporari'y handed over to him, which demand, not being in con- formity to our previous promise regarding the neutrality and independence of Samoa, Knanpe has been ordered by telegraph to withdraw immediately.” =l Not With Germany. [Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxvox, Feb. 1.—[New York Herald Cablo—-Special to Tie Bee.]—The Standard, in the course of along editorial on the Sa- moan question, says Prince Bismarck is not likely to court a quarrel with the United States for the sake of gratifying a local spite of Herr Webber or any of the pushing Ger- mans who aspire to treat the Samoan islands a8 their Pacific preserve. There is no mis- taking the earncstness and sincerity of the protest made at Washington in this case. No theory of electioneering exigencies can be invoked to explain away the uncompromising language employed by leading politicians. The reserve with which Mr. Bay- ard has hitherto responded to appeals made to the state depart- ment for prompt and energetic action will not mislead German diplomatists, In his correspondence with Berlin he has made his meaning exceedingly eloar. The Unitea States will not tolerate any attempt to sub- vert the independe of the Samoan is- lands, The engagement into which the cabinet av Berlin has eutered with Britain precludes us, on our part, from as- suming that any infringement of neutrality of the group is contemplated, buv it must’ be owned phat there is enough in the recont proceedings to justify the concern with which Awmerican statesmen rogard tne situs- tion. Surelyit is time that the cooler head of the chancellor should overrule the fumsy arrogance of his sub- ordinates at Apia. He has work enough on hand as it is, 'Why should he not muke the representatives of the United States a pretext for retirement from the con- flict on which it was a mistake to enter and which 1t would be infatuation to prosecute. ‘The Daily News, commenting on the same question, observes that there is no doubt that there is some room for misgiving on the facility with waich Prince Bismurck can se- cure the agreement of Lord Salisbury in his colonial undertaking, but we hesitato to bes lieve that even the prime minister's pi@piity will extend so far as to support, at the risk of a disugreement with the Amer ican govern- ment, a policy of further repression in Samoa. Hefore this country can sanction erseverance in Germany's policy in Samoa its justitication will have o be made - clearer thao it is now. from Blacklock The German consul ar with Samoa note to Minister ——— Must Be Rebuked. NEw YoRrk, Fob. 1.—[Special Telegram to Tue Ber]—General Franz Sigel is no ad- mirer of Secrotary Bayard's easy-going polioy in regaed to Samoa, nor does the fact that he was born in Germany make him look at the matter with other than American eyes. He said to a reporter last night: “It is a serious mwatler, but 1 bope taat whatever may ocome out of it, every true Amerioan citizen, native or adopted, will be firm in support of the American govérnment. What business had the Gormans to land armed troops or to try to land them! And, furthermore, the kidnaping of King Malieton wouid have been enough to array the whole popula tion of Samoa against the Germans, and justly so. If tho position of the imperial German government were endured by the American goveramont, such a concession would create u precedent which in - the fu ture would prove more dangerous to the American republic than even war, for it may create,by-and-by, a circle of monarchinl pos- sessions around this country which would be much harder to break than to provent its formation now. 1 sinc oly hope that con- gress and the executive will not be influ enced or blinded by the insignificant minor ity of Gern n imperialists in this country, and espocially not by such gatherings as that said to have been called together by the Ger- man minister at Washington. Scout the ldea of War. Bunurs, Fob, 1.—The North-German Ga zette, referring to the reports from Samoa, says: ““The declaration of war inan inter- national sense on tho part of the German consul or cormanding officer 1 Samoa, is improbable, first, because no instructions to that effoct havo been given by the govern ment, and second, because there is no oppo nent in the islands against whom war could be declared. Tamaseso is a friend of the Germans, Mataafa is not recognized s a ruler by German Lo declare war against him would be tantamount to_recognizing his sovereignty. ‘The German forces may, on basis of seif-dofense and reprisals, bo en gaged in actual warfare, which, however, would not iuvolve the consequences of inter: national war." The Cologno Gazette says must rostore the authority in° Sam was gricvously shaken by the events of De cember, and must make an_example of the misdoers. It can only hasten conspiracy with America if her congress desires to stay the wand of Germany and ofticially support Mataafa's band. On the other hand, the diplomatic side of the question does ot ' bear the complexion of war fury. In the nine teenth century no battle will be fought over Samoa. Germany's proposals for a sottl ment of the difticulty, now on their way to Waslington, will convince the Americans of Germany’s éndeavor to deal justly with all duly established interests.” Senator Krye's Opinion. WismiNotoy, Feb, 1.—Senator Frye said to an Associated press reporter this evening that to-day’s developments in Samoan mat- ters have not, in his opinion, changed the situation in any important particular. The Germans ho said, may have abandoned temy poravily their rash methods, but they have not in the least changed their purposo; but on the contrary, they will go straight forward to the completion of that purpose uuless some action is taken by this government to prevent it. The Germuns, said the senator, made up their minds long ago “to _take pos- session of the Samoan islands, and they will not change their policy in this respect as long as the United States government offers no objection. Congress should instruct the presid ake & domand upon Germany for a restoration of the status quo.

Keokvk, la., Feb. 1.—[Special Telogram ta T Beg]—Overtures were made to-day to have this city organize a ball team and enter the inter-state league. A letter ro- ived from Springfieid, IlL, ~suggested the idea of going ahead. and it is not unlikely that Keokul will do so. NO UNCERTAIN SOUND. Farnam Street the Place For the Oity Hall. There was no uncertain sound about the Eighth ward meeting that was held in favor of the Farnam strect site at the corner of Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets last night. The hall was well filled, and was fitled with voters. There was no disturbance, except when Bub Balcolmbe attempted to in- terrupt o speaker once or twice, and when a gentieman who claimed to be a “‘Peansylvania Dutohman from the Sixth,” made the state went that he could carry away the stones from the present site in his pocket, and then became msulted because he was laughed at. Simon [Kahn was chosen as chairman, and E. L. Tiffany sccretary, after which ' they waited until there wasnot a vacant chair in the house and the ante-roont was _crowded. Walter Bennotu then offered the following Resolved, That we, the voters of the Eightn ward believe that the city of Omaha shou!d abide by its action heretofore had, and that the site for the city hall should re: main as heretofore located. The question was put and carried almost unanimously, only three or four saying *no’ and one of thiem saying it threo times. Then u standing vote wa called for, and when the “noes” were counted there were only five, | one boing “Bub” and another the gentleman from the Sixth. No further debate was nec- essary, but it was decided to let all those who felt like it speak on the subject. A. L. Dicl was called upon and_was the first speaker. He said he was a citizen but not a property owner, although he hoped to become one before long, (Two of the Jeffer- sou square men then loft.) He had carefully considered the question of relocation, and cognized from the action previously taken that it was incumbent on the city—if for no other reason than that of keeping faith with the world—to build on tha site they had ad- vertised they would. He would vote on his convictions and they were formed on what had been done in the matter. The citizens had voted in favor of the bresent site, they hud voted bonds for the building of the city hail, they had 1ot the contracts, they had put wen to work, they had taken 25,000 from the sehool board for the express purpose of building it, and now a few squirming, squabbling property owners wish the intelligent citizens to repudiate all this in order to serve their own private interests, The action of the city had led to the heavy investment of castern capital in the neighborhood, and to repudiate that action wou'ld be a disgrace to the city injury to its credit. It hus b on the men who have been the cuuse of this strife that it has been their own and not the city's interests they tried to serve. 1ub Balcombe had made several interrup. tions, and was then invited to speak. He said ‘he had not come there to speak, and thought the gentlemen had called ou him to make us “big & fool of myself as 1 could.” He reviewed the Cuming stre ing and said that the property ow to fight to have it doue so that the farmers could come down Sixteenth stroet and go south “to Farnam street or the enter of the city. - He also asked if Jefferson square on Sixtecuth strect was too far cast, why was not Eighteenth street too far west ! Which was_easior o take a car on Cumin strect, get off at Fifteenth and _climb u hll, or take the same carand drop off at Jefferson square! The majority of those present not having to visit the city hall very often, there was no response, and Bert retired Walter Bennett then advised drop the question of North agalust all Omaha, and to vote for W would | best ser the interests of the entire city. He pointed out the necessity of the city keeping up the good credit it had eained, and not sacrificing it for the benefit of a few property owners, ns woutd undoubtedly be the caseif the Farnam street site was abandoned. He made an cle quent add grad- s had them to Omuha Men Must Not Defaw ir Wives.

An Indiana County Clerk Takes Up His Residence in Canada, INDIANAPOLIS,, Feb, f.—John Sullivan, county clerk of this city, who failed for $15,000 last Thursday, is missing from the city, and is supposedto be in Canada. His flight was occasioned by the discovery that ne had issued fraudulent waroliouse receipts for largo consgznments of poultry, produce, cte. The amounts of these receipts have not vet developed. Sullivan's confidential clerk and bookkeeper, O'Neil, who wrote the re. ceipts, is also missing. There is no longzer County k Sullivan and Thomas H O'Neal, his ehiof clork at his poultry ware- house, have fled the city and_are now fugi- tives from justice, and ave probably in Can ada. Sullivan’s wifo says that John has one to New York to raise money, but this atement is not eredited. Sullivan's defal- cations are estimated at from 50,0 to §100.000. He made a clean sweep of momey in the county clerk’s office and did mot leave enough funds to pay the salarics due his deputies, He raised money on everything he could lny his hands on, and the présumption is that he carried o good round sum - away with hun, His embezzlements, aside from legitimate debts, now reach about #45,000. As o sample of his methods, it has been aiscovered that a few days ago his wife gave a mortgage on some property she owned in this city, and raised $4,000 through James Renihan, one of Sultivan’s bondsmen, the understanding being with Reniban that Sullivan was _to use the money to meet any run on the clerk’s office which might follow his failure in the poultry business. Renihan placed the money to Sullivan’s credit for this it purpose, but instead of applying it to s owing at the clerk’s oftice, Sullivan coolly chiecked out the entire amount and presimably pocketed it, thus practicaliy rob- bing his own wife.

The report of the rovolver was heard by no one, the attendants having loft the house to make preparations for a hunt ing excursion. Several members of the erown prince’s entourage state that during the last fow weeks the crown prinee had manifested signs of morbid nervous excite. ment, and therefore the Wienor Zeitung says | the view that tho shooting was the result of | temporary mental derangoment must bo ad | hered to.
