ICopj/rtoht 1S33 by Jama ( Janhn JleniieU.l PATHS , Fob. 3. [ Nov York Herald Cable Special to TIIK HKE.J A week has now passed slnco Floquet scoured a vote of con fidence from the chamber In his position. Instu'.ul of gaining ho scorns to have lost Btrmigth. The efforts to infuse now blood Into bis ministry have not boon successful , nnd the negative answers lie receives on nil Bides are not reassuring to him. It scorns certain that Segismond La Croiv , of thu ex treme loft , has successively refused tbo pre fecture of police nnd ministry of Juslice. Floqunt also failed to secure M. Jumiils , n deputy from Card , for under secretary of state for the colonies , which had become vacant through the resignation of M. do La Porto. The portfolio of Justice before it was assigned to M. Ou.vot Dossnlgno , was offered , so it is said , to sev eral deputies , who refused to accept It. This contempt for the rnndourc and honors of a ministerial oftlco not being in accordance with the habits of publla men , it is permissi ble to believe thnt tlio numerous refusals en countered by Fioquct wcro ciuiseJ by lack of confidence In tbo solidity of his cabinet. Tlio selection of M , Guyot Ucasnlgno for the post of keeper of the snaln has also produced an xmfnvorablo impression. Tills appointment t Las been much discussed during the last two days In the lobbies of the chamber and tbo senate , nnd much curiosity h expressed ns to what profound idea , Inaccessible to ordinary minds , could have Intiuced Flo- quot to call to act as minister of Justice an obscure aeputy , who before ho enrolled him self la the ranks of the radicals had served tlio ctnplro In the position of an imperial prosecutor and whom , in the discharge of the duties of that oflico , distinguished himself - self by his ardour and zeal tov the then ex isting government , unit by his severity to ward * republicans and liberals. It Is worth noting that the appointment of Guyot ios- enlgno has displeased both tbo radicals and opportunists. Kopublican journals of all ahaites are cither blaming or ridiculing this selection of Floquct'o , while the more do- i voted und faithful organs ot the minority preserve a discreet silence on iho subject. The most generally accredited opinion Is that Floquot lias lost and U every day losing ground , It is probable that the question ns to tlio fata of tbo ministry will bo again urgued at no distant clay. The question of giving the priority In the order of iho day to the ssrutin d'uiToudlssoment bill or to the project relating to its revision may give rite to a debate , perhaps as soon an next Satur day , Jn which tlio cabinet may bo forced to risk itself , but It is not very likely that tlia ministry will bo put in a minority in this Question. Whether Floquot romulus In ofllco * r not.lt doss not seem that tuo Idea of un Immediate dissolution an idea suftgcsteil recently by the Times nnd Standard lias the loan chalice of being accepted. The republican party , taken as n whole , with the exception of the group that support * Hdulanger , doc * not ap pear to bo at all disposed to borrow from their adversaries the arrangement of their programme , nnd to precipitate events which nlready arc advancing nt too rapid n rate to entirely moot the wlsticsof republicans. As the Journal dcs Hobats s.ild yesterday , sush n trolley would too much rnsomblo that of Grlbolllo , who Jumped Into the water to cscapo getting wet uy the shower.

Tlic Itovival Mootirm A.ttrnctl s Grenter Throne * Knoli Niulit. Another largo congregation nsscmbled at the First M&thodlst church lust night where the revival meeting * are being conducted under the direction of Evangelists Potter and Miller. It was the last nicotine to beheld hold this week , us there will bo no services this afternoon or to-iilght. There has boon such an Interest taken In the work of the evangelists that for the past few nights the seating capacity of the church was Insufllclent to accommodate the crowds. To-morrow night the mooting will bo held in the nitnory building on Capitol avenue in stead of nt the church. There was sotno talk of erecting a tabernnclo for the evangelists , but last night it was decided to secure the armor.v , nnd In future services , during the revivals , will bo conducted in thnt place. "It's wonderful how wo can sing when wo are ( Hied with joy , " remarked Mr. Miller , while the choir was singing "Jesus is PassIng - Ing this Way , " nt the opening of the meet ing. At the conclusion of the hymn Chaplain A. .1. Nave , of Fort Omaha , led in prayer. "Open the windows. " exclaimed Mr. Potter , addressing one of the Janitors , "and give us a llttlo air wliilo wo sing. " Then the usual collection was made. "You responded very liberally last night , " said the Hev. T. M. House , as ho produced u half dozen small baskets in which the con tributions were dropped. "Now Just double or treble the collection of last night , and we'll bo pleased. " While th3 uudlenco was contributing Us mite , the cbomtorH sang , "Wo Shall Stand Heforo the King. " " .Inst before I commence my talk , " re marked Mr. Potter , as ho stopped in front of the pulpit , "Ivatit to hear some testimony from those who have had experience with Christ. " Twenty or thirty individuals , who thought their souls hud boon saved , stated Unit it was -i Joyous and delightful life. When the testimony had been concluded tlio case was given to Elder Clonik'iming , who stated that ho was glad to know there were so many Christians in the house , The older then made n few announcements for next week's pro gramme , saying t.lat the evangelists would preach ac the Scward street Motliodist church Sunday morning. Att o'clock Sunday afternoon Mr. Potter will talk to men only at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian associ ation , nnd at night in the armory us above mentioned. "We are growing too large for the church , " said the elder , "nnd wo have to go to the armory , where wo can have accommoda tions. " "Friends , wo are going into more commodious quarters , " tlio evangelist stated. "We are going to a place whore God docs | His work ; wo will accommodate our friends , and wo will have a blessed time. " When the choir started , "Choose Ye To night. " the evangelist shouted. "May God help tins crcat multitude to cliooso 1" "I will sing so loud that tlio people will hear ino a dozen blocks away , " suggested Mr. Miller , who evidently inferred that the public would know where they were , whether or not the press made the announcement. "I want everybody to know where we are , " added Mr. Potter. "A mau is better looking when ho is a Christian , and so is a woman. God bless the women. " While sitting at the orran : and Just before commencing , "What Shall It Profit Mo Then I" Mr. Miller stated that there was n time in his lifo when ho was not very Joyful. It was when lie llrst was seeking the Lord. Ho was a backwoods lad and did not know much about conversion. Ho thought thnt God was performing a surgical operation upon him , but ho got through it , and blessed tlio lull- nito Being for the operation , and ho was saved. "Everybody can bo saved before pass ing over the threshhold of that door if they choose , " said the ovansclist when ho began his talk. "Last night I talked of the condemned. To-night I want to show you the easy way out of condemnation. 'Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved , ' is my subject. "What a wonderful text , nnd after all yon know that it la a conditional promise. The pathway is unobstructed , but is only accessible to those who call on the Lord. I have known men and women to call on everything else except Christ. Tiiero uro scores of men right in this city who walk the streets that nro defying God In their actions. It I should go into their pluccs of business and could give them a title or u warranty deed to mansions in the heavens , they would not accept the offer for a mere pittance of their earnings. How stubborn is the heart of man I" The evangelist then made n comparison of the patent medicine man who advertised to cure or save people aflllctod with any nnd all kinds of diseases , with the great and only Physician who saved souls. Ho was the only true doctor that advertised to save souls. "Did it over occur to you where you wauld spotlit your eternity ! " asked Mr. Potter. "Suppose you wore wh'rled ' beneath the bil lowy waves In mid-ocean , or fancy yourself on u railrond train when the mighty crash came , or think if you wore in your little homo when a tcrrliic tornado swept by. Where would your eternity bo spent if you had not been saved 1 IJon't wait for n death-bed repentance. It isn't honest with your God. if you have served Satuti all your life , it is an insult to n rejected Christ to make peace with God at the last moment. How many in ibis housn to-night know that they are saved I Stand up , but don't rise unless you know it from the bottom of your souls. " Almost the entire congregation arose , but these who remained in their scats were asked to stand for prayer with these who had been savod. The evangelist then invited those who desired to bo Christians to bow nt the altur. Thirty-live or forty reaponded to the invitation while the choir and congrega tion sang. After the meeting tho. evangelist stated that lie was well pleased with the week's ' work , and that there were more converts last .night thnn on any previous ! two meetings. Thorowasno shouting , but Mr. Potter asked these to de clare their religion In that manner if they so desired. Ho liked to see it when they meant it.

The llrst enclosure Is n telegram from Minister Pomlleton to Secretary Uaynrtl , dated Ilerlln , February 1 , in which ho saya that the statement innde to Secretary Ltaynrd by Count Arco-Valley announcing that the Oonnnn povcrnmctn hud rebuked Its oniccrs for declaring martial law ngnlnst foreigners , had anticipated n statement that ho ( I'omlloton ) Iittd been in- structcd to make to the German government on February I. Secretary Utiyitrd wrote to Count Arco-Valloy , the Herman minister nt Washington , acknowledging the receipt ot till * advice. The incmoritnduni of Instructions of Prince Hisninrck to the Oennun minister at Washington , read by the latter to tlio secre tary ot Hlate on February-I , Is as follows : ' 'The nrcscnt situation In Samoa , re ard iiiK the Interests of three treaty powers , re ml o is it necessary to renew the attempt to brintf the future of these Islands to tin understanding. The position of tlio three treaty powers in the civilised world mnkcs it their duty to stop the bloody combat , accompanied by the barhnrous customs of these not numerous tribes , for whoso welfare , accordine to the Judgment of the civilized world.it is the duty of the treaty powers to provide. Prince Uismnrck. in consequence , considered it the duty of the parllcipatlm ; governments to put an end , by an agreement 01 the treaty powers , to the troubles which have originated in Samo.t , by u restitution of po.ico among the Samoans themselves , and so make nn end of the future bloodshed and horrors of civil war conducted with bar barous cruelty among the natives. The best remedy seems to bo n resumption of the consultation , which took niace in 1SS7 nt Washington. Vceordiuu to the equal rights of the trenty powers , it seems Hint tlio proper nlacc for negotiations should chnngo in regular turn. 1 nm dlrccte.1 to Invite the government of the United States to n confer ence regarding Samoa , to take place ut Her- lin. and a similar Invitation is aunt to the British government. I am directed to de clare that nny supposition thnt Germany would not feel satislied with n neutral posi tion in the Sanioan islands is unfounded , as wo have nlready declared in the lost conference that it is neither our intention to put in quest ion the independence of the islands nor the equal rights of the treaty powers. U'o simply desire to.rnjato it condition which offers permanent security for bringinir to an end nil bloodshed and decapitation , und which gr.ints pcrmnnujit safety to the com mercial interests of iluj throe treaty powers in Samoa. " i On February 5 the secretary of stats sent a communication to Comnt Arco-Valley , stating that the president fully shares in the desire expressed byi the prince chancellor to bring the blessing * of poaci1 and oruer to the remote and feeble .irouiinunitv inhabiting the islands of Samoa , und clearly recognizes the duty of the powerful nations of Christendom to deal with those people in a spirit of magnanimity Snd benevolence. "On buhalfof the United ( States government , " continues tlio secretary , "the president In structs me to express his "ucccpinnoo of the proposal of the government of Germany to resume the consultation suspended on the 2th ( ) of July , 1SS7 , such consultation to bo renewed as it was undertaken , Tor the purpose of establishing an orderly nnd stttblogovcrnmontin the Sainoan islands , on u. basis of their recognized Independence and of equal rights of the treaty powers. "Tho sooner this conference can bo re sumed the bolter , in view of tlio late deplor able stale of bloodshed which had been ex- bibitcu upon Samoan soil , entailing a deeply regretnble loss to Germany. Ituppeura that n truce should bo forthwith proclaimed mid further armed action should bo arrested. As the assurance of Prince Bismarck is lhat Iho pacillcation of the Samoan group and the oc cupancy of a neutral position nro his only objects , it is suggested , in furtherance of the desired result of the con ference , thnt instructions to suspend bollijr- crant action and await the action of Mich conference should nt once bo telegraphed to the respective oflicors in Samoa by tlio three treaty making powers. To continue to prose cute a war of destruction and reprisal , oven on an admitted provocation , would surely not consist with the objects ot nny of the three powers. It is lio'ijcd , therefore , that orders of the nature indicated will bo for warded to Samoa without delay. r.V'The announcement of a conference be tween the treaty powers , it is confidently expected , will nt once cause a cessation of hostilities among the nalives , and ihoir speedy election of n king would certalnlv be a long step towards harmony. Except as conditions may bo changed by the election of a king by the nulivcs , it is decmcu essential that affairs in Samoa should remain in statu quo pending the conference. If wo may in dulge the hope which tno adoption of this suggestion promises for a successful issu ance of the conference , the government of the United States will at once take steps to be properly represented ut the conference in Berlin. "The statements you read to mo as ema nating from tl.j German consul at Samoa , in which ho Hilda f.iuit , with tlio conduct of Cap tain I-eary , of the Adams , and Mr. Blacit- lock , United States consul , us. violative of the instructions of this government to main tain an impartial iittitudo in tlic conflicts in Samoa , do not appear 19 bo substantialod by the averment of any personal knowledge of facts , but must bo bused on information and belief only , or are repeated nt second-hand , nnd must bo classed as merely horesay evidence. These conflicting statements of the Germin consul will bo brought to the attcntirn of Captain Lcary and Mr. Blackloek , and their reply will bo communicated. Much allowance must bo made for tlio excitement prevailing in Samoa , which is not favorable to accuracy or moderation of xtntemont , especially of those concerned us actors. " Thu protocol of the first conference shows that the German rcpfppentativo sot forlh that Mulietoa , having motoriouHly violated his trculy rights with1 Gpnnuny , and having but a Hinali minority .of followers among the natives Tnmasuao/luivlngthe support of the great majority-rthp election of a now king must take place tbon , in order to secure peace in ihe islands , fo.reim | representatives should bo appointed its tu'.vhors ' to the king , und to act as mandatory uf the three trculy powers. Ho ulso supgeited the renewal of the principle of ubsbtute neutrality of the three powers on the islands. Secretary liayard Miggcstcu u scheme of ronutltutionnl govcrnmUit for Samoa , with u native legislature , securing Its independence and autonomy , including the acknowledg ment of Mulietoa ns king , and Tunmsosa us vice king. TlioKngllslvgovernmont , through Sir Lionel West , sugudilod un ugreoment among the treaty poivdrs , that ono of thorn Hhould , as inondatory'of the other two , act us nilvUcr of the Hawaii government , nnd. in view of the preponderance of German interests , they wcro willing to let Ucrmany have the llrsl term of five years. At the second meeting there waa n long discussion of the dctnilsof the govern ment to bo created. Secretary Hayurd con- benti'd to a new election , but Insisted that It should bo u native election , free und unuwod. Sir Lionel West osscnteo. Von Alvcnslcbcn inquired whether a certain time should not bo fixed within which the election should take place. If it should not tuko placa within that time , then the three powers should ucreo upon a kin ? . Hayurd there upon proposed to continue Muliotoa In oflico , but West and Von Alveinilnhon were in op position. The latter also inquired whether the newly elected king should not bo uu- proved by the powers , to which Jluyard re plied In ttio negative. Insisting that there must be u free election. Von Alvonslobon thnu read a formal statement of the position of ilia government , lu which ho says there is only 0110 course loft to jilnco ono foreign ofllcer nt the hcnd of the administration nnd invest him with sufllclont powers UJ take tlio meas ures required for the maintenance of pence and order , ns well ns for the prosperous develop ment ot commerce and intercourse. Gor- ninny , Imving the. largest Interests , should nominate the onicial. West assented to this. Bayard said that tlio native government waste to preserve its own oxistcnoe. At the fourth mcctlnc iiayard said that ho had not the olightcst desire to exor cise nny preponderance over Ger many nnd ( front Britain , but ho did dcslrts t ( ) fcc6 the native Influence upheld by the three powerA equally and for the com mon purpose. Ho desired also to refer to the Importance of the practical neutraliza tion of the islands. At the fifth meeting Bayard declared that the German plan would result in inequality , which would grow larger , but West would not concede his point. 'At the last scssfilon , on July 2rt , Baynrd , in reviewing tlio German proposition , said : "Tho plan us proposed and explained by Von Alvonslehcn , is substantially n forcgn autocratic government based on mercantile interests , ami nil experience hns shown wha must necessarily result from suchnn attempt and thnt under It the defeat of the object wo nil have distinctly proposed is certain. 1 do not see why wo Bliould not recognize it nt tin outset nnd encourage in Samoa n spirit o solf-governmcnt , freedom anil self respect.

Snn Francisco Kxaminer : It was a bleak November night , with the wind whistling down the chimneys of tno old liier mansion , and the two locust trees n front croaking and tossing their houghs in a weird and melancholy fash- on ; but in the big "front room" a huge fire of h'ckory logs blnzcd and glowed , ind made every corner of the somewhat gloomy apartment bright with chang- , ng gleams , Abel Duer , a spare , hard-featured nan , of the typo now happily not pre dominant , which holds tip work aa a lotni-jfod , and falls down to the worship at the Hhrino of money , sat staring at the tire , with his two hands on his two leppor-and-salt colored knees , and his ron face shifting and changing strangely in the ruddy light. Mrs. Duer , a withered little old woman , with i timorous , hair-frightoind look in her eyes , .such as one often BUCS in those of in ill-treated animal , &at opposite , in- lustriously sowing together long strips of cloth to make a rag carpet ; and Jon- ithan Hyde , the hired man. who in , hose roDublican parts was admitted to nil and perfect cnuality with ills urn- ) 'myorfl , was uhittliiig away at u sot of jute pins in the center of the semi circle. ' Wind blows , doesn't itV" observed : his latter peivonngo , at length , break- ng the silonuo which had prevailed so eng as to become oppressive. "Ves , " said .Mr. Inor , hriolly. "Wouldn't wondur of wo had si spell o' snow afore mornln' , " pursued Jona than. "I shouldn't neither , ' ' said Mr. Duor. Jonathan looked Hlylyut his employer rom beneath his eyelids , and struck out into a new channel of conversation. "So they sny your son George is to ho narricd pretty fioon. " ' Moro fool ho ! " growled the farmer , jiving the buck-log a Icicle which made its wife start nervously. " 1 don't HCQ that that ar follows , " oh- sorvcd Jonathun.philosophlcally. "It's lalnrul enough for a man to get mar- ied ; wo'vo bible bunclion for it. " "Humph ! " grunted Afool Duer. "Nclllo Jlukor'H u smart gal as over ivod , nnd George would do lirst rate , oiks say , if ypu'd only let him have the luxton cottage on the hill , and " "I Bhiui't d it ! " brusquely inter- nptod Duor with u deep furrow be tween his brows. "It-don'tdo you no good blandin' empty ! " ploudcdJonathan , who was ov- dontly in tlio interest of the young lov er ? . "Ft ain't golu' to stand empty. " "Why , who's going to live there ? " questioned Jonathan , in great surprise. "I bo " the . , was gruff answer. "You ho ! " Jonathan stared. Mrs. Duor looked up with evident astonishment. 'Why ' , father , " she said meekly , "it ain't been lived in these live years. " "All the more reason it Hhould bo ivod in now , " growled her bettor-half. "And besides , folks guy its haunted , " > loaded the timid little woman. "Haunted ! " Abel Dnor gave u grunt of contempt that nearly lifted him oil' lie scat with its energy of umphaslb. 'I'll BOO whether its haunted or not ! I toll you I'm going to itvo there my all. II other folio choose to bo loold I don't. Polatlnh Hrowno he's going to rent this'oro place , ami I'm going to the Uuxtou cottage. " "Then you'll go nlono , Abel , " snid Mrs. Uuer , "for I shan't go with you" 'Most sis yo please , " said Abel coolv. "I should think , with all your money , " went on the llttlo woman , now fairly excited , on the principle accord ing to which a rat will turn if it is cornered - nored , "you might stay where von ho and lot George nnd that pretty gnl Imvo the Uttxlou cottage place , it they want it. " "Yon should , oh'1" ; sneered Abel. "Well , 'taint none o' your business , no way. " "Mnybo 'tis nnd mnvbo 'lain't but anyhow , I shall go mid stay with my sister .lorushy. " "Go along , then ; nobody objects. " "I don't h'llovo , sqntro , " hir/.imlcd Jonathan , "that yon will like that place. Seth Holly says he's hoerd " awful sounds and sedn "drotful sights there arlortiightlnll. " "Fiddlestick ! " was thoiinnppror-latlvo reply. And Jonathan resumed his whittling , with scarcely tv perceptible shrug of the shoulders. ' "Tnltf t no use , " lie said , the no.xt day , as ho cheeked his ox team in front ( the wngon shop on the hill , whore CJoorgo Duer , thankful to escape on any terms from the tyranny anil insult o'f the paternal rule , was hard to work on his own account. "You and Nolly'll have to A-ait n spoil yet. The old man's goin' to live at the Lhixlon cottage " himself. "Going to llvo there- himself ! " "Jos' M > , exactly. I hope he'll have a good time of it , " and Jonathan chuck led. led."What "What do you meauV" "Ha'nt yo never hcerdV The old place is haunted. " "Nonsense , Jonathan. * ' "Ho won't Itnd it nonsense , I guess. " "But ho is fully decided to refuse mo even this trilling kindness ? " "Brimful anil runnin'over ; kindness an't ills way , " hriellv responded Jona than Hyde. "Hut toll Nell Uakeruot to git low sporited ; tilings may not turn out so had , nrter all. " "I wibh you would toll mo exactly what you meanJonathan. " "How can I. when F don't precisely know myself ? C5eo , old C'rookhorn ; whoa hup. " And away went Jonathan , leaving Gcorgo Duer to meditate on his dark sayings at his leisure. "Haunted. " growled Ahol Duor , as ho stalked through the solitary apart ments of tlie Uuxtou cottage a week ' afterward. "That's what'folks allors say when they're too liuy to lix up a place. 1 ain't afearod of all the ghosts thnt ever was hutched. " "I'll kindle tip n lire , ' ' thought Abel , 'and that'll make it more cheerful like. " Ho piled the wood on the hearth , ig nited tlie mnss. and then drawing un old unpuintcd chair close to the lihuo. wiitched tlio spires of Hume with very evident satisfaction. "This 'ore's bomothin' like , " said Abel , grimly rubbing his horny hands. "Now. ef i only had a little more wood. " The wood was piled in the cellarway , and Abel Duer descended tlio stairs and filled his sinewy arms with a goodly heap. But as lie re-entered tlie room , which was illuminated by the flicker ing embers he hud just loft , something tall and white rushed past him with a dismal rustling bound. He crouched down before the lire , with shivering fr.ime and chattering tooth. for , as ho chanced to glance up , the sheeted phantom , now seeming supernaturally - naturally tall , stood in the doorway , pointing at him with draped lingers. While ho stared at it , with forehead beaded vith cold sweat , and lips turn ing blue , it vanished once more , as if into the darkness beyond. Old Abel Duor tittered a croaking cry and rushed past the spot where it had stood into the cloudy autumn dusk , and down the hill , as if his hobnailed boots had been gifted with wings. ' I wouldn't stay there in that haunted hole nny longer , not if you would pay mo a gold piece for every second ! " lib thought , speeding along the deserted road with sundry backward glances to iscortain whether or not ho was fol- iowed. Airs. Duer and her sister Jerushy were sitting over the lire , a cosy and con tented couple , for I'elaliah LJrowno was not to take possession until the next we-ik , when the door opened and Abel stalked in. "Why. father ! " ejaculated Mrs. Duer. ' I thought you were up to Iho IJuxloii place. " "Hush-sh-sh , Kotnry ! " croaked Abel ilmost humbly. "Don't talk about the 3uxton place. Folks wore right it is launtcd ; 1 see the ghost myself. I'll icvor live there , " ho concluded , "as eng as thcro's a poorhouse to go to. George may have the iiuxton place , for all mo ! " And poor little Mrs. Duer came to the inward conclusion that ghost-seeing vns good for tlio tamper , inasmuch as Ahol hud never been HO docile as ho vns lor the next few days. Jonathan Hyde stopped at the wagon shop th next morning , per special orders , to see George Duor. ' Hallo ! " ho signaled that young man rom the inner depths of the ohtabHsh- nent. "You can Imvo the Huxton cot- : igo , George ; your father told me to ell you so. " "Hut I thought ho was living there limself. " "Wai , so ho was , but he's changed lib mind. " "Why ? " ( [ uc&tionod the astonished SOIlJ "Ghosts ! " was .loniithnn'ri brief reply is ho cut olT a section ot tobacco ready or the teeth. "Ghosts1 ! echoed George. "Wai"said .Soiiuthnn. they troubled lim consid'ablo luijt night. The way 10 went down the hill was something ulto out of tlio common run fora man who'd had the rhumati'/ . " And Jonathan laughed silently until lis broad shoulders shook with re- > ro3-iOl mirth. ' Jonathan , you have boon playing , rickb. " said George , trying to upeak gravely. "Now you just hold your tongue , " hucklcd' Jonathan. "Don't asknoquos- Jens , and I won't tell no lies.
