Tbc Hook amendments to the Senate bill for the admiswon'of South Dakota as , a State were non-concurred in, upon the report of the committee on Territorial, and a conference was asked. Senator Piatt, Cullom and Butler were appointed conferee on the part of the Senate. Mr. Saulsbury offered a resolution, which was agreed to, instructing the committee on foreign relations to inquire into the condition of affairs in the Sa tnoun Wands and to report at an early ' day, what measures are necessary and proper to protect the interests of Ameri can citizens therein, and to discharge any f obligations of the United States to the - - people of those islands in the mainten ance of their own local government, from the interference of any foreign power, and to secure the just rights and inter ests of the United States in the future control and government of those islands. The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Chandler, in regard to the claim of officers of the Nary for arrears of pay, as to longevity, mileage, and whether unt usual and improper facilities have been allowed to attorneys or claim agents in prosecuting such claims, and instructing the committee on appropriations to in quire into the matter, was taken np and discussed for some time, but? went over without action. ' Mr. Sherman presented a letter from the Secretary of the State with a copy ol the formal concession of the harbor of Pago-l'ago made to the United States, by the Satnoau government in accordance ' with the treaty, and it was referred to the committee on foreign relations.

Mr. Hatch, of Missouri. sub. milted the conference report on the bill to create a department of agriculture, and it was agreed to. The only material difference between the two Houses was upon the Senate amendment, striking ont the -clause transferring' tW weather bureau to the ' pew department. The ; - House conferees finally weeded from their opposition to the Senate amendment, and the clause was not retained. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, from the com mittee on rules, reported a resolution providing that when the House proceeds to the consideration of the bills on the private calendar, the Senate bills shall have precedence for two legislative days. Agreed to. The diplomatic and consular appropri ation bi" with Senate amendments was referred to the committee on foreign af fairs. " A brief skirmish lietween the friends of theprivatecalendar and the adherents of the Oklahoma bill resulted in a victory for the latter, and that, measure was ta ken up for consideration.

' As the qw-stioaof l',awm action and American rights hi Samoa is under con sidcratioa by Congress, I beg leave to transmit herewith with a , iew . to their '"4 before Congress, copies of cor; respondence touching affairs in Samoa, which has taken place since January 30th, the date of your , Inst message to Congress on the subject. This consists of a telegram to this Department from Blacklock, - vice-consul of the ttiltcd States at Apia, dated January 31st, and the paraphrase of my telegraphic instruc tion of the same date to our minister at Berlin, of w'hich a copy was also sent to (lie charge d'affaires at London, and my note of the same date to Count Arco Valley. To-day I was waited upon by the German minister at this Capital who read me a note from his government which I transcribed from his dictation aud now enclose a copy of the text." The enclosed telegram from Hlacklock reads: ''Auckland, January 31. TheGeruian consul declares Germany at war with Samoa, under martini laws.". The paraphrase of the note to minister lVmlleton is as follows ; . .. "Bayard instructs the. minister of the United States at Berlin to inform the tJeminn government that advice from Apia state that the German consul had declared Germany to lie at war with Matoafn.and'Samoatobe under martial law. Bayard informs minister Pendlefjon that the German minister from thiscapitid under instructions from Bismarck, had ijJready acquainted this government with the declaration of war; Germany would, of course, abide by her agreements with America and England touching Samon, and preserve under all circumstances the rights of this government established by treaty, but in view of advices from Apia, Bayard instructs Pendleton to say thnt this government assumed that the German officials in Samoa would lie instructed carefullv to refrain from in terference with. American citizens nnd property there. Since no decimation of fhnrtial law could extend the German jurisdiction,' so as to include the control of Americans in Samoa, such pretention could not be recognized or conceded by this government. The remainder of the corrcsiioiHlence as transmitted by the President, reads iw follows: Itai'AttTMKNT of State, January 31. Bayard to Count Arco Valley, Informs him of the receipt of a telegram from Blacklock and says; "Not knowing what construction might be given to his au thority by the German consul at Samoa, in said proclamation of martial law, I deemed it expedient at once to communi cate to our minister at Berlin, informing him of the precise language of the tele gram from Blacklock, and stating that the declaration of a state of war by the German Empire against Matonfn and his party in Samoa had lieen previously com municated through you, and that Hi marck in his instructions to you, also stated tnal tlie uerman governmen I wr,ul' f 'rse. l'ile by her agreemen ' with America and Kngland with respect U)S,im(,a, and pay dne regard in all in I at Ik-rlin was therefore instructed to make it known at. the Cicrniau foreign office, that the I'nited States assumes .1.

That the summer season has so much to rec ommend it to the. 'visitor,, and. hen It h lrekiiig invalid goes without saying, but attention to meteorological reports lor the winter months has not heretofore- been given cVwely. " The report for tlie nioniU of January, published herewith, furnished bv Dr. von Knck, is exceedingly suggestive. A maximum temperature of 59 degrees, with a minimum of 13, is a showing thnt is rare for a mid-winter month. tOt of the 31 day, 19 were cltiir and there were only 2 on which there was no sunshine, making a record which furnish es new claim to the title of Sunny South The rain and snow that have afflicted other sections ,hnve Iwen singularly rare, and the delightful and invigorating at; mosphereof the middle winter mouth has charmed many a stranger and given iTfieW tttit of health tit manv ail invalid's luce. There is not within the limits of the State, a section with a weather, record com pa ruble to the one herewith" pre. sented. and tlie hope is confidently enter tained that wlteu these things are more widclv known, there will be a rush of winter residents, surimsscd in volume, onlv bv those tidal waves of weltering humamt v-which break tqion these high' lands when the summer suns are bcum mg. These facts show that for those hunting an equable winter climate, for heulth seekers,' fleeing from the rigors of north ern winds nnd western blizzards, no land is spanned bv fairer skies and no hills are kissed by healthier breezes: I'nitku Status Siunai.

NKKCIAL. REPORT, . Dlaaatiafactloa With the Mate) of Trade IncreaalntrFallar mt ' Merchant to Dtetrlhat Gooda The Vlooet .t.M A' , Market Oft. Etc By tefecraub to th CHhwa. ' ": Nkw York, Feb. 1. R. G. Dun & Co.' ' review of trade for the week says: "The dissatisfaction with the state of trade is ;; increasing and the failure of merchants lo distribute goods purchased in expect ation of the usual demand for the aeason causes numerous embarrassment ' and general complaint as to collections, but .. there is of late a revival of interest ia .... stock speculation and increasing confi-, . , deuce that the new agreement of the rail road presidents will hear fruit, tend to '" support better prices for securities. - " I Swelled by speculation in stock and in I products, clearings through the banks. show a much larger volume of business in January than for the. same month last " year, and for the last week a gain of 177 per cent, at all cities and 1ST per cent. outside of New York. But half of this . , outside gain is due to active stock oper. ,.. ations at Boston alone, though the trans actions of almost all. Western and South erti cities show large gains, and only four '" cities ont of the thirty-nine sliow smaller " ' transactions than a year ago.' , -i . , u During the past week stocks have adr . van'ced to an average of 111 per share, ,. nnd there is more evidence of non-protes- ' sionnl business than has been seen at any' ' " other time for months. ' ' v ' - . Wheat has declined one-aotl-a-kalfceaU for the week, with sales here of 24,000,,. ; 000 bushels, but still there is no evidence ., of much buying on foreign account except to cover speculative sales. ' " ' '" Fairy tales about stocks on hand ar.'' s' still circulated by interested parties, but I are met by heavy sliipmeuu Jrora the farms and sales by farmers, who grow, . ,.( tired of waiting for $1 .50 wheat. Corn nnd oat have stiffened a fraction "' with moderate speculative kalitigv ;! '' " Oil has risen three-fourths of scent. The cotton market has not changed as to .' , prices, though the sales have reached , 423,000 btiles. and most of the Southern ' estimntes point to a yield about as large ' " as that of 1887. " " ' -:r. Coftee is only an eighth of a cent '; stronger, but increasing dUtrihution at ,w full rates gives confidence to holders, , Sugar is unchanged, with tea firm and in good demnmf at auction -prices." But-kt'J' ter, cheese and egg have been rather ' more depressed than at any other time v for thirty-fiveyenr. ::. ,. Ul ; , ,-' The market for iron doe not improve. Philadelphia reiorts sale of 15,000 tons, Southern, and prices art about $17 for No, 1, ugainst $17.60 for Northern. I"J Bar iron is more active with price not ' improved, and plates are disappointing, ,.n Sales of steel rails at Pittsburg are re- ., ( (kirted for $26, and an eastern mill has sold fir Chicago delivery at $30.00, equal v to $27 at the mill.., ; , i r.in ,ii-n i The prosjiect is that some furnaces will , us)eiid production, but the accumula tion of pig iron in January must have been considerable. "' ' 1 ' " : Coal is dull and miner lire working-; on short time. In the coke region the M, ; demand is slack and ovens are ouly work ing four days in the week. Business in dry goods has been rather" ' ' lietter. The movement in staple cotton is moderate, but at well sustained prices. ! Print cloths have risen from four to six . ' cents. Dress goods are in fair 'demand and steady in price, and woolen goods art more freely moved, though buyers lack heart." ' -;-""' i- "'- KeM)rts from other cilie are remarka-; '! : bly uniform and the tenor of trade it . - (uiet or only fairly active. Money is in abundant supply nnd easy,' with but moderate demand. Exception . are St. Paul, where a slight stringency is observed and Omaha, where the demand is active; Nashville, where trade is now quite active, and ' Milwnukre,p where' higher railroad rates threaten to 'close ' the factories. . , From nearly all quarters it is .reported l f that tlie outlook for future trade is con- , sidered promising.
