. — THE OMAHA EIGHTEENTH YEAR. HEIS A SABBATH KEEPER, | President Harrison Refuses to Talk Politics on Sunday. WASHINGTON NEGROES EXCITED. Kxtravagant Demonstrations at the Funcral of a Murderer—Delay in Dismissing Democratic Offi- clals Explained, 518 FOURTEENTII STREET, Wasnixarox, D. C., May 20. Presmdent Harrison has quickly ‘‘sat down upon’ all suggestions as to Sunday confer- ences at the white house. When he first took possession of the office he now occupies, some of his friends, with the habits of his immediate predecessor in view, asked to have nterviews on Hunday. The vpresident ad- mitted some of them, but when they broachea politics there was an end to the conversation. General Harrison has never discussed politics or business on Sunday, and is not inclined to begin it at this time, es- pecially when he has to live on it six days ana nights in the week. Those who have the hardihood to attempt to speak of ofticial matters when they meet him on the streets, going to or from church, have not mentioned their rebukes to friends, WHY CHANGES WERE OT MADE. Several positions connected with the ex- ecutive departments remain in the same hands they were in a year or two ago, and the failure of the president to make changes is the source of some complaint on the part of partisan republicans. These positions are more or less of gencral public importance, and while it may be true in a few instances, the prosent incumbents, taking but little in- terest in their offices, permit the public ser- vice to drag. There are public reasons why changes in most instances have not been made. More persons are interested in in the commissionersnip of the general land office than any position held by a democrat. Phe opening of Oklahoma and over thirty million acres of land in Minnesota, Ne- braska, Montana and Dakota has been counsiqered sufiicient reason for retaining Commissioner Stockslager till Secretary Noble was properly inducted into office, now there will, however, soon be a change. The president has been unable to determine upon the man he wanted for commissioner of nuv- igation, and that is why a democrat who has never given satisfaction i¥ not put out. He will soon be relioved now that an appoint- can be made. The public service is not suf- fering on accountof the pPesent organization of the inter-state commerce commission and 80 long as there are such demands as there are for the president’s time he will direct his attention to immediate wants. It is un- derstood that there will be no more exten- tions of the commissions of the burcau of engraving and printing and that Captain ‘William Meridith, of Chicago, will take eharge this week. Twice the commission of Graves lias been extended for ten days. At- torney-General Miller has deemed 1t wise to retain most of his assis ts for the good of the service, and it is under- stood that there will be no more changes there, at least for some mouths, General Rosecrans, register of the treasury, being an ex-unjon soldier on the retired list, will retire of his own free will when his successor is selected, but no effort has been made in that direction for obvious reasons. General Joe Johuson, commissioner of railroads, has not been put out early because he 1s inoffensive, politically speaking, and a southern republi- can cannot be agrced upon. He may stay some time yet. In most instances the promi- nent offices left unchanged represent oilicers needed for the present, or the president has seen no emergency requiring precipitate ac: tion. The complaint in nearly every instance come from those who want the place, DAKOTA MATTENS. Senator-clect Edgerton, of South Dakota, arrived here this morning. To your corre- spondent he said of the constitutional con- vention which assembles ut Sioux Falls on the Fourth of July: “The most important work to be done will be the apportionment of the territorial debt between North and South Dakota. It will be based upon property values. This work will occupy severai days, but it will be com- pleted without any friction. The territory is m & prosperous condition and the debt s small. The constitution adopted in 1555 was by overwhelming majority ratified last week at the pells, and only North Dakota will have a new constitution'to frame. She has never attempted to do that thing, and her convention, which convenes on the same day, will last two or three weeks, proba- bly Senator Edgerton will undoubtedly be chairman of the South Dakota convention. Speaking of the opening of the great Sioux Tndian reservation in Nebraska and Dakota, the senator said : $The commissioners appointed for the purpose will organize in Chicago this weelk, and I have no doubt that their terms will be readily accepted by the Indians, Itis the best the Indians can do, and nobody knows this better than they do. If they should re- fuse they ure aware what it means, when the Dakotas send four senators and three representatives to congress this winter and in favorof a law which will open the reser- vation to settlement without the consent of the Indians. Iam in favorof that kind of action, We should be liberal with the Indians, but when we kuow we are doing the proper thing there is no use in negoti- ating. Our new governor, Mellette, is a magnificent ofticer, aud we have secured the Dbest possible goverument under President Harrison,” Senator Edgerton is here to argue a case “In law before the iuterior department. He has been on the stump in South Dakota for six weelks, and says his political work is, for the present at least, at an end. X NEGROES EXOITEL Considerable fear was expi terdsy that there mi certain set of negros On Friday a colored murderer named Nelson Colbert was hanged and vesterday his funeral occurred. The occasion was made one for a most extraordi. nary demonstrution. Over three thousand colored people gathered, and after the inter- ment held 4 meeting, which was character- ized by the wildest disorder. The murderer ‘was buried with a white lily in his hand, It created an excitement which has not yet subsided, RETIREMENTS 1N TIHE ARMY. President Harrison and Secretary Proctor have taken up the subject of retirewents in the army, and are endeavoring to formulate & definite rule by which retirements will be made on the . limited disability retired list. This list is limited to 400, and there ar aiways & large number of oficers eligible for retirement. Secretury Proctor favors the romotion of oficers who have been lougest n the service, but who from being assigned to regiments where prowotion had been slow, may be very far down on the liveal list. As the time for the retirement of Adjutant-General Drum draws near there is » great deal of iuterest felt in the urmy as 10 wgom will be his successor. At first nearly all the colonels in the adjutant-gencral's corps were spoken of as candidates, but the contest is now supposed to be narrowed down to Colonels Kelton and Whipple. A ort time ago it was cousidered settled that Colonel Kelton was to have the place, but when the president went to New York to attend the centenuial some of Colonel Whipple’ friends, including General Sherman, urged the selection, and the Ler till undeter- mined. Colonel Kelton is the ranking colonel of the corps, but Colonel Whipple will retire frst, in August, 1890, and it is urged that Coloucl Kejton could then succeed him, OMAHA'S POSTOVFICE SITE Secretary Windom says he intends to take up the postoflice site question and to decide 3t o Wednesday if possible.

May Report of the 8 atisticlan of the Agricultural Department, Wasnisatox, May 20.—The May report of the statistician of the agricultural depart- ment contains the result of the investigations of tho deficiencies of the surplus of each European nation, especially in the production of the agricultural products that America sends to foreign markets, The question of the possible cnlargement of exportation in quantity and v y is canvassed and the opportunities for displacing any importation by enlarged production are pointed out. The investigation was made pursuant to @ reso- lution passed at a meeting of the National Grange held in Topoka, Kun., last fall. ome of the figures given in the statement ared are startling. As to whout, it says urope is practically the only market Amer- ica can have for this cereal and she imports only 144,000,000 bushels a year, raising 1,200, liels herself—more than half of the world’s crop and twice that of all America. Suropean deficiency the United States 000,000 bushels. in oats and bar pr 18 a very small in- ternational trad pe importing only 19,000,000 bushels of oats and the United States exporting 2,500,000 bushels. Of barloy this country imports bushels. Rye isthe great bread gram of eastern and central Europe, and Russia alone produces more than does the United S Europe imports not less than 1,500,000 bushels, and the United States exports less than 8,000,000 bushiels. Kuropean countries requiring maize, do not take half the product of lllinois or of Towa or Missouri, Great Britain takes nearly three-fourths of the total, or 62,- 000,000 and this country exports 68,000,000 bushels. The deficiency of France could be supplied by McLenn couuty, Illinois, and Gormany uires still less. Russia and Roumania hive a surplus and southern Eu- rove grows enough for home consumwption, Europe umports over 1,000,000,000 pounds of rice, but noune of it comes from the United States. Of potatoes Europe grows more than she needs, while the United States supplies u deficicney from Canada and Germany. Only Great Britain, Belgium and Portugal, of all the European nations, do not produce enough butter and ty spare to make up the de- ficiency 00).0.0 pounds, the United States exports 24,000,000 pounds, It requires 140,000,000 pounds of cheese to supply the Buropcan deficiency, of which 118,000,000 are furnished by the United States. Of course, Europe has to import ail her cotton, the anuual average imports being 2,636,000,000 pounds. The United States sends 1,550,000,000 pounds, Furope gets from South America, Asia, Africa and Australia two or three times as much wool as she imports from the United State The net deficiency of Kurope is 780,000,000 pounds, slightly more than what is produced there. The United Svates produces four-fifths of the wool manufactured here. The aim of the wool growers of this country 18 to supply the home manufacturer, if possible; never to export raw wool. If there ever shall be a surplus, it will bring more money to the wool grower if sent abroad in manufactured form. The United States imports a net 69,000,000 pounds of wool every year. 7,500,000 Europe produces about as much tobacco as the United States—500,000,000 pounds an- nuaily—and could easily produce all she needs but American tobaceo is desired for two reasons, 1t is cheap and vory desirable for for- tifying the European proauct. So the United States fur, 252,000,000 pounds of the annual defic 000,000 pounds. In conclusion the statistician says one-tenth of our ag exported. About cultural products are No other nation exports so large a proportion, yet the articles shipped abroad are few. They are cotton, tobacco, meats breadstuffs, butter and cheese. All other articies together are about 3 per cent of the exports. An enlargement of the surplus must inovitably reduce prices, both at home and abroad.” Tn response to the inqui “What agri- cultural product are now imported that our country and climate are capable of produc- ing " sugar is first suggested. “Flax und hemp should be more exten- sivel, wu displacing foreign fibres cost- ing millions of money and furnishing materat for the bagging of cotton, wool and hops, and other fibres of sub-tropical regions should be produced aiong the gulf const, Imported fibres, with their manufac- ture, altogether amount to the value of more than two-thirds as much as the munificent and boasted cotton exportation of the United States, There is an_exportation of fruits of the value of $23.000,000, halfof which at least should be produced in this country.’ - It Affects 100,000 Cases. WASHINGTON, May 20.—An opinion of the United States supreme court in the case of the Unitea States vs John D. Hall, was, to-day, subject to earnest discussion among the ofticials of the general land ofice. One of the points at issue was that Hall had made oath before a notary public. ‘The supreme court decided tnat where an outh is required by United States statute, that oath can be administered only by an officer of the United States. Hence, a notary public being a state officer, can not administer oaths to United States officials, exc o statutes specifically state theoath m ade before such state ofticinl. This opinion, it is believed, seri- ously affects the stutus of more than a hun- dred thousand cases in the mineral division alone of the general land office. Deputy wineral surveyors have for several years, it is said, sworn to the correctuness of their statements beiore notaries public. During the last four years a large number of cases under the general land laws have been re- ceived for patent at the general land ofice, where final proof was not made before the ofticer designated by law for the purpose. Where no other error was found they bave been allowed to go to patent. This policy was first adopted by Secretary Vilas, The opiuion of the supreme court has created alarm and a request for interpretation of section revised statutes, hus been sent to Assistant Attorney-General Shields, with particulur referenco to the supreme court de cision and its offect upon pending cases in the general land office L Nebraska and Iowa Pensions.

THE THREE NATION SYSTEM. | He Says It Would Be Uscless, and Wants the United States to Assume the Protec- orate Alone. A Peaceful Programme for Samoa. [Copuright 1889 by New ¥ork Associated Press.] Aria, Samoa (via San Francisco), May 1.— Admiral Kimberly received a letter from Mataafa a fow days after he had issued his vroclamation advising the natives to give up the war, in which Mataafa expressed his pleasure at the proclamation and at the kinduess of the Unitea States government, and said all desire for further war with his countrymen is ended. He declares the war to beatan end, because he earnestly de- sires that Samoa should find a _state of pros- perity, and also desires to have Admiral Kimberly act as arbitrator between the two factions. He expresses the opinion that Sumoa would escape a danger if the United States alone were to protect and give support to it without the interfer- ence of any other power. He is sure that a recurrence of the three nation system would bo useless, as in the past it has rosulted in the country being constantly in foment. Admiral Kimberly replied, expressing his pleasure that Mataafa was willing to declare the war at an end. He said Tamasese still had nothing to say of peacc except on condi- tions of submission. He assured Mataafa that the efforts of the United States govern- ment in the Beruin conference will be directed 10 obtaing those points that will advance and promote the interests of Samou in_every re- spect, and adjures him to be of good heart. Admiral Kimberly declined to make the correspondence betieen himselr and Tama- sese public, stating it must first go before the department at Washington. ‘The German _consul, Knappe, does not think Admiral Kimberly’s proclamation will amount to anything. Herr Stubel, the new German representa- tive, arrived on April 25, The Associated press correspondent had an interview a few days ago with Mataafa, in which the latter said his people felt very grateful for the interest the Americans had taken in their cause. He had no desire to fight Tamasese or the Germans, and would like to see the United States declare a pro- tectorate over Samoa. He thought that was the best way to avoid trouble, as the natives were continually fighting among themselves when the consuls of the three rs had equal authority. AMdavits been prepared under the direction of Mataafa which have been forwarded to the state department at Washington in reference to the December battle, aud in which several native witnesses declare the Germans com- menced the fighting, Killed one of the natives, and wounded another before the Samoans fired a.shot. An attack was made a week ago_ by some of Tamasese's men upon two of Mataafa's party who were passing by the camp. Botk men were slightly wounded. A number of Mataafa’s warriors were greatly excited and wished to attack Tamasese, but were per- suaded to allow the iucident to pass uu- noticed.

SAN Fraxcisco, May 20.—The steamer Rockton, bearing eight officers and 150 men of the Vandalia, and twelve ofticers and 300 meu from the Trenton, under command of Captain Farquhar, arrived this morning from Apia, Samoa. N The steamer Rockton was chartered in Sydney by Lieutenant Wilson, fitted out for [i! nodation of the sailors and coaled and provisioned for a long trip, She arrived at Apia in April 20.

Dr. Mc- Gill, chairman of the standing committeo on the board of missions for freedmen, roported there were 277 missionaries at work under tho board, of whom 202 were colored, and 102 of the 116 ordained ministers were colored also. Rev. Dr. Allen, socrotary of the fund for missions among tho freedmen, spoke of the necossity for energetio work among tho colored people. “In the south,” he said, “thore aro 1,840,506 colored children of school age, and of this number only 802,383 attond school.

The negro has come to stay with us, and we must give him an education that will it him for his duty 1o God and man." A resolution recommending the adoption of the report and recommendations of the standing committes of the board of missions for frecdom was adopted. Dr. W. O. Rus: ter, of Dubuque, In., presented the roport of the committee appointed to inquire into evangelical work among emigrants, particu- larly Germans and Scandinayians. The emigrant question, the report sid, had now ot into politics, and the racial sympathios and prejudices that oxisted wore likely to breed troublo. 1t would be much _better not to recognize emigrants s a class av all, but let them merge into the general population and imbibe the American spirit. But many of *ham won't do to this, the report says, an .. the church must seek thom out_and tale them within the paloof American Chris- tianity. Fifty thousand Germans in the city of Now York huve broken overy church vie: Infidolity among forelgners is on tho increase, Over four millions of emigrants in the lust four years were protestants and almost three millions wero not. The report then gave a syiopsis of the work done by the various protestant denom- inations and emigrant socioties, i ovangeli- 7ation among foreignors, The Germans par- ticularly needed looking after by the Pros- byteriun church. A forelgn tongue must be used in evangelizing emigrants, The committee recommended that a third secrotary bo appointed on the bourd of for- cign missions,who will devote his time to the emigrant question. Dr. A. C. Smith, of Freevort, Tll., spoko on the report. Ho suid the Irish’ emigrants did not come under the scopo of the commit- teo because they were Roman Catholics Their eoergies must be devoted principally toward evangolizing Germans, becauso they would leave a deeper impress on tho future American race than any other nation- ality. 1f they refused to preach to Germans in tho German tongue, they would lose the obportunity of preaching either to them or to their children. The Germans wero thrifty and intelligent, and influenced @merican po- litical, social and religious life, and the Pres- byterian_church could not afford to ignore them. The conference then took a recess, and further consideration of tho report on emigrant ovangelization was postponed until to-morrow. In the nfternoon session Rev, Dr. Catrell presented a report as chairmun of the minis- terial help committee, The report recom: mended that every minister who had reached the age of seventy, and who has preached for thirty years in the Presbyterian church, shall réceive £00 a_year without his case being considered annually by the committee, The report was adopted and the assembly adjourned.
