Aiississxrr i. v Fred Hopkins' anil Jenkins of Vicks burg, colored labor agents, were caught ia North Louisiana and lynched.

It was the first eonvention of this character ever held in North Carolina, and the interest in it wjks unusually great. Several hundred Varans were present, nearly all with an aruior leg missing, while some: were mere physical wrecks. All were guests of the city of lialeigh.

The Secretary of State received a cable message from Acting Consul, Blacklock, at Apia, Samoa, by way of Auckland, New Zealand, sying that a large' fire re cently occurred on tne island, and that the German consulate was among the buildings destroyed. A delegation of tobacco manufacturers and other citizens of Petersburg, Va., headed by Representative-elect Vcnable, telegraphed Representative-elect Cowles, of North Carolina, that they will arrive in Washington on Thursday. Their m'ssion is to urge upon the appropria tions committee a speedy report of Mr. Cowjes' internal it venue bill, and 'to work; upv sentiment among Southern members iu favor of the early passage: of tue but wnen reportea. Senator Sherman, from the committee of foreign relations, reported an amend ment to the diplomatic and consular ap propriation bill, designed to protect the interests of the United States and appro priating for the execution of obligations and protection to the interests of the United States existing under the tieaty between the United States and the gov ernment of the Samoan Islands $500,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary to be expended under direction of the President, ihis appropriation to be im mediately available. It is rumored that Congressman Wil liam Warner, of Missouri, commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, is out as a candidate for the secretaryship of the interior. His f rienas have pre sented him to Gen. Harrison for that portfolio, and they say the president elect is inclined to look with favor upon the suggestion. Warner considers him self a Southern man, and by his appoint ment, Gen. Harrison would have a Southerner in his cabinet and would h$ relieved of the embarrassment of haying to choose between the many Southerners who are applicants. i. The interstate commerce commission has promulgated an opinion on the sub ject of passenger tariffs and the rate war. The commission recommends that the interstate commerce act ; be so amended as, first: To define what is considered excursion and commutation tickets; second, to prohibit all the payment oi commissions, on the sale of tickets for interstate business, except by the regular agents of carriers; third, to require car riers to provide for the speedy and con venient redemption of unused tickets or coupons.

Court in Augusta," which, upon Senator Brown's motion, passed the Senate, places the court In what will be termed the northeastern division of the southern district of Georgia. This will make Judge Spcer the judge of the court, and will necessitate his presiding in Augusta, besides in Macun and Sa vannah. The bill, as it passed the House, put the court in the northern district,- but, at Judge Speer's request, it was amended by the Senate so as to keep Augusta in his district.

Tue Samoan islands are on,the highway of commerce across the Pacific ocean and are of great importance with relation to the develop ment of trade via projected canals acres? the Isthmus of Panama and across Nica ragua. To a power whose t.hips are sent on long cruises, the establi-hmnt of coaling stations is a necessity, and the location of one on the central island of the Samoan group, as provided for in the proposed amendment to the diplo matic and consular appropriation bill," reported by the committee on foreign relations, is looked upon as of the great est importance to us.V A eriou9 rupture in the cabinet is threatened over the Samoan difficulty. Secretary Bayard h&8 been round!y crit icised for his inaction, and Secretary Whitney does not seem ' disposed to shield his colleague. Secretary Whit ney did hot bear I with equanimity the strictures placed upon his department for the week-kneed foreign policy of the administration. The cabinet meeting a few days ago was very brief, in; conse quence of a row between the premier and the secretary of the navy, and the latter, Mr. Whitney, says to his friends that he does not propose to have the in comDetency and cowardice of the State' Department saddled upon the Naval. Department, and the climax was reached when he transmitted in his letter to Mr. Heibert, chairman of the aval commit-' .X. tee of the mouse, a copy or the letter sent to: Secretary Bayard over a week ago, askingvEat the policy of the TJnL ted States wjs to be toward the German asirression an Samoa, m order that" he raischt intelli'.ently instruct his subordi nates. . 31 A ITEMS.

I am an American all." through, and think we are big enough jto take care of ourselves under the circumstances. However, while the Samoan matter looks serious at present, I believe the coming administra tion will reach an adjustment that will be satisfactory to the country. r I think a solution will 1 be reached without diffi culty."
