== THE OMAH DAILY ! EIGHTEENTH_YEAR, OMAHA , SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 1 SANOAN AGREEMENT SIGNED America Abandons Her Principal Objections, MALIETOA WILL BE KING AGAIN The Islanders Will Also Have the Right to Levy Dutics—A Special Court for the Land Question, [Copyright 1850 by James Gordon Dennett, | Beruiy, June 14.—|New York Herald Cable—Specinl to Tue Bre.]—The rough draft of the Samoan agreement was signed “at half-past 6 to night. Some delay had been experienced on account of the printer's er- rors in the original draft which necessitated the reprinting of two pages of the agree- ment, which is of folio size, like the Congo treaty, and is printed in large type. It cov- ers fourteen pages and contains seventcen orticles, Messrs. Kasson, Phelps and Bates were appealed to, directly after the conferenco by your correspondent for the definite particu- lars of the treaty. Each and allof the Amer- icans, however, declared that inviolable se- crecy has been imposed on all the members of the conference and upon the American delegates in particular, by special request of President Harrison. ot From other sources, however, the general scope of the treaty, as finally agreed upon, was learned to be as follows: The treaty is eminently satisfactory to all the three governments involved. It is oxe- cuted in good faith and is likely to put an end to the unfortunate condition ot affairs that prevails upon the islands. The funda- mental idea seems to be to interfere as little a8 possible with the independence of Samon proper,except for the protection of American, German and English subjects. and then only . With the consent of the Samoans. That this consent is necessary, is one of the reasons why certain amendments are wanted to the treaty. . The deposition of Malietoa was always considered a grievance by the United States, and the restoration of Malictoa and the status quo that preceded his deposition was one of the main objects for which the Amer- ican commissioners have been work- ing, This has now been accom- plished. Malictoa will return before the treaty is eveu ratified. Mataafa is considered to have been by a locum tenens for Malictoa, and will retire unmolested into private life. No mention of this occurs in the agreement, nor does anything limit tho number of ships of war that either of the treaty powers may keep in Samoan waters, A definite and well digested-schome, set- tling the land claims, has been adopted-and the favorite English hobby, that the sale of liquor should be limited in all the South Sea islands, finds recognition in tho agreement. Apia is to te placed under about the same species of foreign control as Shanghai, since nearly all the foreigners in -Samoa reside there. All three powers retain consular rep- resentatives at Apia, but the supreme ad- viser of the Samoan king, will be a judicial officer of Europoan nationality, who is not specified. Consuls are to be limited simply to purely consular functions. No one has yet been named in connection with the judicial post. Samoa will notbe called upon to pay any indemnity,either to the survivors of the Ger- man force, who fell in the skirmish of December 17, or to the owners of plantations for alleged devastation of vheir property by Mataafa's mo The treaty, as it stands, can scarcely be objected to by the Samoans to whow, how- ever, it must be submtted. Mr. Wilham Walker Phelps left here at 9 o'clock to-night to catch the Ulda at Bre- merhaven, to-morrow, on which, he sails for home. Messrs. Kasson and Bates,with Con- sul Sewell, will remain some days to wind up the business of the conference. Mr. Kasson returns home in about a month, Mr. Bates ‘will return home after a short visit to Paris. The best proof that the conference is set- tled is the fact that Count Bismarck goes 1o Konigstein, near Hamburg, to-n on his reguiar annual six weeks’ leave. His mother, the princess, who is usually with him at such times, this year 18 at Varzie. Americans may feel proud of the result of the couference. The Times correspondence suys: “Itis agreed by the delegates, beforo separating, to observe the strictest sccresy with regard to their decision until the final act is submitted to the senate at Washing- ton, but theré can be no doubt that the Americans have emerged [rom this confer- ence with fiying colors, and that Germany has had to content herself with prospects of much less political predominance on the islands than she claimed at Washington, two years ago. This result, it would appear, is much more due to the firm and inexorable at- titude ot Mr, Blaine than to any political leanings of England towards the power, which it is her highest aim to conciliate.,” The News says: *‘Mr. Phelps leave to- night, for New York, and, although he de- nies it, it is belicved that he will be ap- pomted American ambassador bhere. The first point decided on is tho absolute auton- omy of the native population, to- ‘wards which they are secured tho right of choosing thelr king and vice- voy. It is almost certain vhat Malietoa will be reclecjed. American and Gormun representatives will be attacned to the king* . @8 advisers, whilo the English representa- tive will act as arbitrator in case of disagree- ment. The native government is to have the wole control of the administration, and is to be free to introduce protective duties, Each of the powers is to have coaling stations allotted, and anchoring places.’” The Standard says: ‘‘Tho United States government made its adhesion to the Samow treaty conditional upou its ratification by the senate, and as this can not take place until December next, the status quo will be muain- tained on the islands until that time. Tho treaty guarantees the automonous adminis. tration of the Samoan islands, under the joint control of Gernisny and the United States,” Great Britain acting as arbitrator in the eveut of any differcnce arising, The Sa- « moans will, under the noew treaty, elect their own kg and viceroy, and will be reprosented by o senate composed of the priveipal chiefs and a chamber eclected by tho people. Sumoa will have the right of levying duties of every deseription, and the treaty also stipulates that the Germans shall receive a money indemnity for their lossos, For the settlement of the land question a special court will be appainted.” Tho Tiwmes says oditorially: “It can not be denicd thut the action of Gerwany in BSamoa has, on many occasions, been high- handed, unpolitic and inconsisteut, aliko wich treaty obligations and the interests of othier powers. Itis, perhape, as well, therefore, that in this particular case Prince Bismarel should bave been made to realizo ihat, where the mterests of the United States are comcerued, the Awerican government is very little affected by many of those considerations which nec- essarily restrain the action of those Furo- pean governments with which he is more ac- customed to deal. It isnot less plain than even Germany would be compelled to think twice or thrico before provoking a collision Wwith America over such a question as that of Samoa, and we can not but rejoice, there- fore, that the influence of the United States has been so moderately and yotso effectually exerted.” The Opinion in Washington. WAsHINGTON, June 14.—The agreement be- tween England, Germany and the United States on Samoan affairs was signed at Ber- lin this afternoon, It will not be made pub- lic until confirmed by the senate. While it is called an agreement by the officers of the state department, Walker Blaine said, this ovening, he thought it would require rati- fication by the senate. If the instrument signed were only a regulation of the con- duct of two countries toward each other, ns, for instance, between the United States and Samoa, it would properly bo designated as a treaty, but where the instrument signed is to shape the conduct of three governments, viz: the United States, Englund and Germany, towards o fourth party, Samon, it s held that its proper nomenclature i8 an agree- ment. At the same time, a8 it is a matter affecting the policy of tho United States, it is said it will need ratification by the senate, and that therefore it cannot be made public prior to action by the senate. The agree- ment was cordially approved by all the mom- bers of the conference and by their respoc- tiye governments. The best of feeling pre- vailed at the termination of the labors of the commussioners, THE GREAT FREIGHT CUT. Lake Lines Will Not Mect the Land Lines and Advance. CiicaGo, June 14.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee]—After another day's dehbera- tions, the Western Freight association is apparently as far as ever from a scttlement of the break in rates between Chicazo and St. Paul. The matter was referred to a committee this morning. This afternoon it reported a resolution that the rail lines should advance the through rates to tho old basis and ignore the Lake lines, and the Chicago, Burlington & Northern. The resolution led to an animated and very acrimonious discussion, and it was soon developed that it could not be carried. A resolution to abolish pro rating at Missouri river points was then discussed, with o like rosult. No resolution looking to o definite settlement of the complication was introduced. It is the beliet of Chicago mer- chants that the roads intend to dilly-dally over the problem and postpone the inevitable equalization of the through and local rates as long as possible. The Chicago freight bureau, representing the board of trade, will take legal action to have the present discriminuting rates equal ized unless the freight men come to a con- clusion in a few davs. As shown before, the Chicago jobbers must pay 60 cents a hundred 10 St. Paul, wheve easterd jobbers pay but 28 cents. The opinions of the best judges is At present the lake lines absolutely refuse to compromise on any basis. They claim to be getting 90 per cent of the business at re- munerative rates, and that they would be foolish to give up their advantage. ey The Fort Dodge Cow Ordinance.

IN WASHINGTON The San Franoisco Suepect Not in Hiding, AT THE SERVICE OF THE POLICE. But They Don't Seem to Want Hin— He Will Talk Plainly to Luke Dillon When He Meets Him, 513 FOUNTERNTIl STREET, ‘WasniNaron, D. C.,, June 14, A Chicago dispatch says that a local vaper reports Thomas Desinond, who is a promi- nent Irisman on the Pacific coast, as wanted by the Chicago police for complicity in the murder of Dr. Cronin. Mr. Desmond is here and has been since the 22nd of May. He 18 strongly backed for appointment to some office under the administration and he is in the city in connection with that business. He said when seen to-day that he was sur- prised to see his name mentioned in connec- tion with the murder of Dr. Cronin, He stated that he did not know Dr. Cronin and had never met him, and that he was not a member of the Clan-na-Gael. Mr. - Desmond said he was in New York at the time of the murder. Yesterday, in company with Mr. Thomus Walsh, of this city, Mr. Desmond went to the First precinct station and informed the officers that he was at their disposal. But he found that the police had no information in regard to him. He said, to-day, that he had heard nothing more about the matter, but he held himself in readiness. e wanted it to be understood that he was not in hiding, and further that he had done nothing in his life 0 be ashamed of. Mr, Desmond attributes the rumor of his connection with the case to Luke Dillon, whom he met casually in_ New York just before he left that city for Wash- ington, FHe says that before he returns to Suan Francisco he intends to meet Mr. Dil- lon and tell him what he thinks about him. NEW YORK APPOINTMENTS. There has been quite a gathering of re- publican members of congress, in Washing- ton, this week, and there has been quite a good denl of growlifg among them owing to the slowness with which appointments are being turned out for New York state. One of the party hus suggested and the others seriously contemplate carrying out a plan for bringing the administration to time. It is proposed to call a meeting of the New York republican members, to be held in this city, at an early day, for the purpose of going bodily to the president and urging upon him the absolute necessity of speedy action there. The republican members say vory emphatically, that unless action is taken at once, there is absolutely no chance for the republicans in the state, city or county this fall. PATRONAGE QUARRELS. The members of the house and senate who still linger here seemed determined to make up for lost time to-day, and there were more of them among the president’s callers than there have been before in some time. These visitors seemed to explain the reason why there is any occasion for growling over the apparent slowness of the administration in making changes m the offices. ~Scarcely a state delegation exists in which there is perfect harmony among the congressmen_in the matter of the distribution of places. For nstance, the two senators from Minnesota have two distinct sets of applicants for the federal positions in that state. I'hey do not seem able to heal their differences among themseives, and want the president to help. them out. He very naturally declines to interfere in such cases, and the resulv is that the appointments are delayed. One of the most unpleasant contests which has been bothering the appointing powers is that which has been in progress'between Senator Quay und Postmaster-General Wanamaker over the oftices in the city of Philadelphia. Anti-administration men have painted the misunderstanding between the two gen- tlemen in the blackest possible colors, and it has been asserted over and over again that an open breach was immi- nent. 1t was learned, to-day, that a perfect understanding has been reached, ana that the result will be the appointment of a list of names to the three principal places during the night or to-morrcw morning, To-morrow the president will take another brief vacation, und he has accepted an invi- tation to take another run down the river on the yacht Restless, and it 18 probable that he will not return until Monday morning. Next Saturday he will visit Cape May, and will spend Sunday with his family there. THE INDIAN TROUBLES. Owing to the absence of Secretary Proctor and the indisposition of the acting secretary of war, General Schofield, no information could be gathered at the war department, this afternoon, as to the probable action of the authoritics in the matter of the outbreak of the Chippewa Indians in Minnesota. It is not thought that the outbreak will prove of a very serious character, and no apprehension is felt here that the Indians will create any cause for general alarm, ‘I'ne representatives of the health office who have made an examination into the coudition of the water supply of the city report that there is danger of an influX of foul matter into the river above the point from which the water is drawn, unless there is something done immediately, The dunger comes from a break in the canal caused by the recent floods.

SULLIVAN 0UT 0N BAIL Four Chicago Men Go On His Bond for 20,000, LITTLE EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM. Judge Tuley Sifts All the Testimony Taken Before the Coroner's Jury = The Court Room Jammed., Sullivan Scores One. COnrckao, June 14.—Alexander Sullivan was to-day restored to liberty by Judge Tuley. The release was the immediate re- sult of Sullivan’s application for a writ of habeas corpus. His bail was fixed at §20,000 and was promptly furnished by four well known citizens, each uf whon represented many times the total amount asked. Mr. Sullivan waiked out of court, after having been less than turee days in custody. The judge held that the coroner’s jury had been influenced by outside sentiment. Seldom, if ever, has a case drawn such a crowd as that which assembled this afternoon to hear the expected decision. The court room was jammed and a big concourse of men assem- bled in the corridor adjoining, - seeking to cateh from afar the words from the judge’s lips. States AttorneyLongenecker and his assist- ant, Mr, Baker, were in ciose cousultation with Judge Tuley before he came on the bench. Several unknown men aiso entered his chamber. They were presumably mem- bers of the coroner’s jury who returncd the verdict in the Cronin case. Mr, Sullivan was early on the scene. He was brought in by Sheriff Matson person- ally, who estorted bim through the judge's chamber before the chancelor’s arrival, on account of the crowd at the other doors. On Sullivan's arrival he took a seat 1n the cen- ter of the circle formed by his lawyers, Mes- srs. Trude, Windes and Gilbert, with whom he entered into whispered consultation, A score of members of the bar evinced profes- sional and friendly interest in Mr. Sulli by being present. The was a wait of three-quarters of an hour before Judge Tuley reached the court room. Finally at 3:43 p. m, he ascended the bench with a written opinion, which it soon became apparent had been' made after an analysis of the whole mass of testunony in the case, and not as first proposed merely that relating to Sullivan alone. Sullivan braced himself in his chair and kept his eyes fixed on the court as Judge ‘Luley smd: I suppose there will be no further steps taken beyond this evidence before the coro- ner's jury.” Longnecker replied:. *“That is all. is no additional testimony.” “Because if you had any the court would feel compelled to hear it,” said the court, Judge Tuley then, in his characteristic matter of fact mauner, began reading his de- cision, and had not proceeded two minute: when the frowns of those identified with the Hruscculion showed which way was the rift. The decision, in substance, is as follows: The judge said that the application before him was for the release of Alexander Sul- livan on bail, under the bill of rights, which provided for the bailing of persons accused of murder, where the evidence was not strong or the presumption of their guilt was not strong. The court referred to the terms of the agreement by which the matter was left to hum, on the evidence be- fore the coroner. He said he had read 1,100 pages of type written pages of evidence, taken before the coroner’s jury. Much of the testimony was irrelevant, and incompe- tent before a court, but a wide scope was al- lowed a coroner in such investigations, He could even hear hearsay evidence, if it gave direction to the form in which an inquiry should be directed so as to bring about the discovery of the versons guilty of Dr, Cronin’s murder, There was a good deal of this hearsay evidence. Mrs, Conklin and Scanlan testified that they heard Cronin say thatthere was a plot to assassinate him and that Sullivan was buack of it. Barry, Morris and O'Brien testified substantially to the same thiugs, saying that Cronin was afraid of Sullivan. Boland and Buckley, Mr. O'Connor, Mr. Ford and Mr. lves tes- tified later to & singulir statement by Cronin as to his cross-examination before a notary, and that he believed that it was part of a plot and that Sullivan was at the head of 1t. Dillon said he talked about it so much that he believed Cronin had Suilivan on the brain, Haggerty’s evidenco was probably ~ the most important as against. Sullivan and the statements he testified that Cronin made were mado about the time of Cronin’s trial. The tesu- mony given by Haggerty on that point was substantially the only evidence that Sulliven made a direct threat against Cronin’s life, There was practically no other evidenc bearing on Sullivan’s alleged threats in 1335, except Haggerty's. The court knows of no law that would admit declarations of Cronin made out of Sullivan’s presence. not be admitted before a trate. 1t was shown by evi van was prominent in Irish nationalist cir- cles; that the triangle controled g Irish mat- ters; that several camps were coxpelled, as also was Cronin; that from Cronin’s presence on the committee which tried llivan, Bo- land and Tenney, Sullivan was inspired with an enmity toward Cronin, which the evidence showed was reciprocated. Cronin was murdered as the result of a conspiracy. That was also shown by the evidence, and likewise 1t showed that back of this conspi- racy were personal enemies of Cronin. what evidence was there th Sulliva one of those enemiest Th Vi connection with the murder which related to Sullivan, It was not shown that he bad any thiog to do with the horse which carried Cronin to his death or that he rented tho cottage, and the evidence against the other accused parties would probably stand if the atatements of Cronin as to Sullivan were obliterated entire Another theory was that Cronin was re- moved to prevent disclosures, but there was no evidence that he had any facts which would die with him.
