S'-wall, late i-oiisul oriieral at Siinua, in un interview jo:-tcriiay in regard to the proposed Sainoan coiiiciviice at l.ei lin, said: If the t(.nlt-r..nce is to le renewed at nil, it should le renewed under Condi tions as iavoral.lt: to lis as those which aUt -ndi.il its initiation.

Uayard suggests a truce in Samoa h: does not insist up on it. Th 'i po-ition maintained in the conference ly Hiyard. has not, I luheve, lieen eriiiciscd. That the independence of the inlands should he maintained uuil e.piality and lights of commerce itnd n.iyigation .secured for the subjects of the then treaty powers, was ageed upon. Our rights are not cnl.nged ly this, hut only coolirmeil. Hut having secured this recognition of our rights, Uayard rested. Uayard did not resent the action of Ocr ni iny, accoinpanied us it was hy ruinous trade anl outrages upon our citi.es and tl.ig as had as th.-s.j who have recently stirred the country. It is hecause he has sull ied a violation of those righs which he was first tle:irly to assert, and hecause tlius oiir prestige had heen irreli ieyahly weak.-ne.l in the l'aoitie, that Hayard is criticised. Had Uiyard, through the president, called the attention of congress and the country to this Ciinian action, the same sentiment which is now aroused would long since haye averted the dis tressing condition of affairs that now confronts us in S iniao ami rend- rs dilli cult, hut sit the same time necessary, fur ther negotiations.

List night Mr. Kent landlord of the Gloucester hotel at Swan sea closed his hmisc at the usual hour, ami v.ith his wife retired for the night, locking all the doors, including that of their bedroom. At an early hour this morning Mrs. Kent awoke and heard a i i.. l.r. tlio cfriUinrr nf a match. SOUlltl UIIVIV-- . vv... ....... Rousing herself, she saw a noSro In the net of lighting a candle. She awoke her hushand, who sprang from tho hed and grappled with the intruder. Mrs. Kent reached under the pillow and grasped her hushand's revolver, hut the candle not having heen lighted, it was too dark for her to shoot at the struggling pair without endangering Mr. Kent's life. With rare coolness the lady struck a match, lighted the candle, and again taking up the revolver fired, striking the negro in the thigh. The latter fell and crawled under the hed, howling and cursing. Mrs. Kent then ran to the door and unlocked it. The negro, seeing her act, came out from beneath the bed and, seizing u looking glass threw it at the woman. It missed her, hut struck the candle and extinguished it. In the dark ness the negro escaped, ami when the candle was relighted Mrs. Kent discover ed that her husband had been horribly slashed about the throat and stomach with a razor. An alarm was raised, aud with the assistance of those who came in Kent wns put to bed. He was able to give a inscription of the murderer, hi t died soon after the effort, l'.y this time alarm in the neighborhood was general, and thousands of men set out in persuit of the murderer. At noon a colored sea men named Tom Allen was discovered at the dry dock with several wounds about his person, and his clothes covered with blood. He was ancstcd and con fessed his crime. His motive, he said, was robbery. He had concealed himself in the bedroom before the house was closed, and had inflicted the wounds up on Kent only in order to make good his escape. OUR SANITARY LAWS. It Is Not That We Are Without Them, Hut Tl:cy Are Not Unforced. As population increases in density the need for tho enactment, supervision and enforcement of laws pertaining to com tuuaieahle diseases increases. The gen eral sanitary condition of the United States, in respect to density of jopulation, is very different to-day from what it was one hundred or even fifty years ago. A single city with its surroundings now contains nearly as many souls as did the whole United States a century back.

It was quickly dispatched and the other cubs were taken alive. Philadelphia Times. The Satellite of Neptune. M. Tisserand has presented a report to the Paris Academy of Sciences con cerning some remarkable observations of tho satellite of the planet Neptune, which was discovered in 1847. Tho an glo which tho piano of tho orbit of this satellite made at that date with the eclip tic was about 30 degs., but this angle has now increased by at least G degs. The satellite moves round its principal in an opposite direction to that usually fol lowed by other satellites, 60 that a ques tion might bo raised whether in the courso of time this variation in the in clination of the plane of its orbit might not end in its movement around its prin cipal becoming normal. M. Tisserand Fhowed that this variation of inclination was due to the oblate or flattened con dition of Neptune at its poles, and that it will complete its limit within a period of 5CJ v. ars, r.t the end of which time ii will eg.--in bo as it was in 1847. tilic American. - -Scien- A Toiu Ochiltreo Story. A man in Texas was accused of steal ing a horse. It is scarcely necessary to say that immediately there was a lynch ing bee. At tho conclusion of the enter tainment the participants found that they had hanged the wrong man, and the high minded citizens who had managed tho affair were tilled with remorse. They determined that the dead man's memory was entitled to vindication, and therefore a committee was appointed to wait upon the widow. They found her weeping. The chairman, with an awkward wave of his slouch hat. said, in a somewhat embarrassed manner: "Marm, we hanged your husband, but he was the wrong man. Mann, tho joke is on us." Phila delphia Tiiises.
