Washington, April 10.—State department officials art* very reticent about the truth or falsity of J bo report that au agreement had been reached between Germany and the United Stat js that no war vessels are to be sent to Samoa until after the result of the Berlin conference is announced. There is little doubt, however, that both governments are already committed to such an agreement. It is understood that the proposition to leave Samoan waters unguarded by Germany and the Unite! States and just as they were after the typhoon had wrecked and disabled the vessels of both governments, came originally from Prince Bismarck and he was promptly met half way by our government, and that the proposition was accepted. This will leave the matter in statu quo and the British government alone to police those waters and look out for German, American and British interests until the Berlin conference settles Minneapolis, April 10.—The story of Mrs. Frederick A.

Conklin worked at wood chopping and did other jobs to support his family. His wife and oldest son, Joseph, it is alleged, were in the habit of squandering his earnings, and this led to numerous quarrels ip the family.

Meicantile failures have necessarily been numerous, and many solvent houses have closed their affairs, as business could be no longer continued with profit.

During the past year not loss than 10,000 laborers have left the canal.
