Cooper Selected Berlin, April 19.—A White Baok regarding the Samoan question has been published under date of April 18 by Prince Bismarck and Herr Stuebec, the present German feonsul at Samoa. Herr Knappe, tho late German consul at Samoa, is censured for his ronduct throughout all the troubles at! the islands. The White Book dwells U[»on;the fact that H.rr Knappe's actions were entirely unauthorized and without necessity. It states that he took measu es on Dec. 17 last which resulted in deplorable deaths and effected an undesirable cha Dge in the position of planters, and which j opardlzed peace between Germany and America, while quiescence would have preserved a situation that at least would have been tolerable. Prince Bismarck concludes the report by declaring that Germany has nothing to do with the internal affairs of Samoa, The German mission in Samoa is restricted to protecting German citizens and enabling them to develop thoir commercial interests.

House bill to prevent the misappropriation of milk cans, buttjr tubs, etc., reported favorably. Edmund C. Stanton Chicago, April 19.—In the Carter divorce case Mrs. Carter continued her testimony. There was a large and interested crowd present Mrs. Carter testified that in 1881, when her husband and herself were at Cooperstown, he repeatedly assaulted her, once striking her a violent blow for tickling the baby's feet. When she protested, Carter said he had bought her and paid for her and had a right to do as he pleased with her. Mrs. Carter then told of brutal treatment she had received in New York in January, 1882, because she was ill and would not go to a party. At that time she was unable to sleep because of Mr. Carter's ill treatment and was compelled to use opiates. In 1884 also Mr. Carter behaved very badly to her, and told her he did not think she would expose him, because of their boy Dudley. In August, 1885, her mind was in such a state she was the victim of all sorts of hallucinations. When she went to Europe Mr. Carter faithfully promised her that he would not use that fact against her. for the Place Asleep in Bed PREPARING FOR THE GRAND BALL. OTHER GOOD OFFICES FILLED.

Spiungflcld, Mass., April 19.—Joseph King, a retired Westfield whip manufacturer, was murdered at an early hour yesterday morning by his son Edgar while lying sick upon his bel in the room with his wife near that town. For some years the son, whose age was 45, has led a life of extravagant dissipation and caused the family no end of trouble. Rows between himself and the old man were frequent, money being the chief topic of dispute. The eon panted money more frequently than the father felt was necessary and the old mau's refusal to give it created some bitter quarrels, owing to which not infrequently the father was obliged to absent himself from home days at a time. Repeatedly he has established the son in business, only to witness his failure and extravagant expenditures. New York, April 19.—Ward McAllister's official connection with the centennial celebration ceased yesterday, when his resignation was accepted by the entertainment committee. The vacancy was filled by the election of Edmund C. Stanton, with the title of director of the ball. His duties will be practically thoee assigned to Mr. McAllister and he will act under the surpervision of the entertainmant committee and of tho special committee of managers composed of Heart. Fish, Stokes and Olin. Mr. Stanton ■will also be chairman of the floor committee. The report circulated a week ago that Mr. McAllister's withdrawal would cause the abandonment of the Quadrille d'Honneur is denied by the entertainment committee. The quadrAle will open the ball, after which the regular card of dances will be taken up. The music for the ball has been placed in charge of Lander. There will be two orchestras of fifty pieces each, alternating so that the music will be continuous. Moat of the dancing will be to waltz music. Mi s. Carter was on the witness stand two and a half hours and consumed a great deal «»f time telling about a visit made to her husband's house in 1886, after their separation; about an interview with Judge Drummond, and afterward with her husband and Judge Drummond, when Carter asked her to make a "confession," which she objected to, because of the term "confession." She was willing to make an ' 'explanation" to her husband alone, but refused to do so before a third party, which Carter insisted on. She toid of her stay at the Richelieu, where she received medical treatment, and of her going to Oak Woods, a private Atreat at Geneva, where she was "out of her head." There she gained in health and in weight from 109 pounds to 143 pounds. The direct examination wis finished at 12 o'clock, and Mr. Walker took up her crossexamination.London, April 19.—The Liberal press is protesting just now in a determined manner against the methods employed by the police in evicting tenants from tho Olphert estates, in Ireland. The usual tale is told—unneces- unnecessary violence, insulting provocation to resistance and general brutality. It is asserted that Landlord Olphert oi iginally paid only £•'300 for the estate, which has for years yielded him an income of £2,000. To make the matter even worse and to show the injustice of the present system in Ireland, the owner of the land has never made an improvement upon it, but what he is taxing is entirely the result of others' industry. Tho Evictions in Ireland. NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE. Edward S. Lacey, of Michigan, to be comptroller of the currency. Timothy Guy Pholps to be collector of customs for the district of San Francisco.

The house acted upon a great many bills, the large majority of which, however, were local measures and unimportant to the gbneral pub ic. Among the bills passed was that providing that ten hours' service shall constitute a day's work for all railroad employes. House. Fourth class postmasters were appointed in New York state as follows: E. B. Black, Whitney's Point; F. M. Gordon, Williamson; E. WKcox, South Hannibal; Mary E. Smith, Sherwood; J. C.

Yesterday morning, while the old man slept, the son, in hypocritical attendance upon the sick man's wants, fired three revolver bullets into his father's body, and then, with the malignity of a fiend, set fire to the house, after vainly s?eking, pistol in hand, to enter the room where two women were sleeping, intent on killing them also. These two women, his aunts, as well as his mother, were with difficulty rescued by th(j neighbors and removed, with the body of the murdered man, to a neighboring dwelling. The house was burned, with most of its contents. About 5 o'clock in the morning the body of the murderer wan found in a neighboring field, shot through the head. He had killed himself to escape the penalty of his crime.

It is intended to limit the attendance to 6,000 persons, which is well within the capacity of the opera house. This is proved by the fact that at the Old Guard ball during the winter there were 6,600 present There will be 17,000 square feet of dancing room and 13,000 square feet of supper room. The ball will bsgin at 8 o'clock, and by 9 London, April 19.—Tha trouble in Roumania is becoming more acute. The Russ an minister at Bucharest says that the crisis over the Roumanian ministry is passed, but the crisis regarding Ihs throne of the kingdom is about to commence. This remark can be considered only in the light of a menace from Russia. The Trouble in ltouusania. !" Washington, April 19.—There are yet and have been for several mouths, two vacancies in the civil service commission. Mr. Oberly resigned to accept the position of superintendent of Indian schools, prior to his appointment as commissioner of Indian affairs, and Judge EJgerton was removed by President Cleve and, so that Mr. Lyman, the remaining member constitutes the entire commission. President Harrison, It is understood, has been giving the matter some little attention with a view to reorganizing this body, but contention among those who desire to become members has thus far prevented him from accomplishing a reorgani- The Civil Service Commission, Mrs. Garter complained of the treatment she received at the hands of Mr. Carter's relatives. She said they treated her as a stranger and excluded her from their discussions ard were generally cold and distant toward her. Mr. Walker went over and over the charges made by Mrs. Carter and several times he pinned her down to a comparison of what she charged in her bill and what she stated on the stand. There was a discrepancy as to dates between her testimony and the bill and Mr. Walker called attention to it But the people that have visited the National An tion Bargain Company's Store and examined the pric that the goods are sold at, assert that they must be stole as no one can name prices anywhere near theirs.

It is intended to begin thus early «ao as not to exhaust the president and other guests for the long and trying programme of the following day. There is great pressure on the committee for boxes and tickets. In one case nearly $3,000 was offered a committeeman if he would get a box for the evening, and there have been a number of offers of $1,000 for boxes. There will be few changes, however, in the list of boxes as printed already. o'clock, or shortly after, it will be in full Berlin, April 19.—Emperor William will go to Stuttgart on the !i5ih of June next to offer his congratulations to King Charles, of Wurtemberg, at the jubilee celebration to be held on the twenty-fifth anniversary of King Charles' accession to the throna leaders. That the murder was carefully premeditated is shown by a letter left with a neighbor several days ago. In this letter, which was not to be opened until a certain date, this crime was incoherently alluded to, as was the murderer's intention to kill himself. He went even so far as to designate his burial place in the field where his body was found. The neighbors think that King was insane. The family say that he had been acting strangely for some time, and they reason tl.at his persistant dissipation had brought about a homicidal mania. After a fierce quarrel with his father, he suddenly pretended the most abject humility, but, in tho light of what followed, it is evident that his action was merely to lull suspicion, that he might the more readily take his father's life. The Crime Premeditated. LEGISLATION AT ALBANY. Kindness Transacted by Both Branches of zation. It is asserted here that the government intends, after the Reichstag is dissolved, to prosecute the Socialist deputies. Albany, April 19.—The rapid transit bill again occupied the greater part of the time in the senate during the morning session. At the evening session the president announced the third reading of bills to be in order, Mr. Fassettsaid that to test Senator Ives' attitude on the rapid transit bill, he would move that the bill lie on the table until XI a. m., or until the regular order of business was dis posed of. the Legislature. SUICIDE OF AN ADVENTURER. There is a decided feeling among Republicans in favor of throe new members, Mr. Lyman being regarded by many Republicans as a mugwump whose influence was given for the re-election of Cleveland. The law provides that both parties shall be represented on the board. President Cleveland nominated Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Thompson, of South Carolina, to be a member of the board, but the senate failed to confirm the nomination. Mr. Thompson is being urged for appointment by Senators Butler, Hampton aud other Democratic senators and a considerable number of Republican senators indorse Mr. Thompson. Ex- Congressman M.rrinian, of New York, one of the Democrats who stood with Randall against the Mills bid, is being urged by Mr. Randall, C. A. Daua and other protection Democrat's, and it is thought Merriman's chances for appointment are very good. So the thing stands with everybody expecting a solution and a settlement by the president any day.

It was carried by a majority vote, but the president decided that it required a two-thirds vote, and it was consequently lost, Mr. Erwin appealed, but the president declined to entertain the appeal and an exciting I'ene ensued, in midst of which a motion to adjourn was carried.

Accommodations for Strangers. Mrs. Nora Erman came from Cleveland and claimed to be Walters' wife. Walters was a newspaper man in London, and in this country worked for various publishing houses. In 1887 he introduced here Melvina Renner, a soubrette, as his wife. An adventure of gallantry led to separation. Then Walters went to New York and then to Pittsburg, where he met the Erman woman.

When the court met Judge Hubbell asked that the whob matter be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, but Col. Dodge announced that question bad been decided previously against him. Governor Bjaver, at the request of Judge Hubbell, produced two letters which he had received from Armes, one of them yesterday morning. One was dated April 2 and was a rcquast that the governor request the secretary of war that proceedings against him b;i stopped. If ho was brought before a court martial it meant his dismissal from the army. He preferred death to a loss of his co mnission, and the governor, he said, stood in danger of becoming his (Armes') murderer. The other letter, dated April 10. purported to bo an apology for the Ripgs house episode. Governor Beaver described the dialogue in the Riggs house and the attempt of Armes to pull his nose.

A man, calling himself 11 Simpson, on that day got that amount of money on a draft purporting to be made by the National Bank of Tennessea on the National Bank of the Republic of New York for $8,000. It now transpires that the draft is a forgery. Simpson came to the bank with a genuine letter of introduction from Itev. George Knox, pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city.
