"Tbo World'" Authorized Announcement Promptly Verified. (arxcuL to tan would. 1 VTiBtirKaTON, May 31. Tho press cable cram received from Berlin this after noon (and printed above) has attracted ronewed attention to tho full abstract of tho Satnoan Convention which appeared exclusively In yesterday' " World." Theso cablegrams state that ' ' tho conforeuco will not reasBemblo for soveral days "exactly what The WonLD Bald; that "tho Commissioners have agreed to the questions at issuo and have drawn up a protocol" tha lau gnago of Tub Wonu'a cablegram; that "this lias been telegraphed to tho governments inter ested "so stated m The Would Thursday; and that "it is expected roplies will soon bo received by wire, and upon rocclpt of which a final formal sitting will bo held "a repetition of The Woiild's authorized message These facts woto all known to the readers of Tue Would yostorday, and their full and com plete confirmation by these later reports serves only to increase tho astonishment of thoso who read Tub Woiild's exclusivo announcement yesterday. Tho enterprise of Tnx Would in scoring such a signal "boat," not only over tho American, but also over 11)0 English and Continental press, by securing tho Important news a day In advance of any other journal, is still tho themo of wonder in official circles hero, particularly at tho Btato Dopartmout. Tho snarls, carping criticisms find feeble attempts to cant discredit upon Tun Wom.d'8 publication by Journals which, of course, did not print tho nows, have been effoc 'trtally silenced by tho lato cablegrams from Ber lin. BrECIAti rxEADixfl. An afternoon local paper, which yostorday at tempted to discredit The Would'b story, to-day prints, tho following: "State Department offi cials absolutely dcclino to discuss tho Samoan conference. They admit that matters nro in mien shape as to wan ant the expectation of a speedy conclusion of tho conference compara tively unimportant details only rrraainlng to bo adjusted. But upon tho provisions of the treaty, if a treaty has yet been drawn, they refuse to talk further than to say that tho public must rccclvo its informa tion respecting ttcatics in tho usual course, namely, after tho action of tho United States Senate, to which all ttcatios must bo sub mitted for appioval boforo thoy become oper ative. Tho obv ious reason for this con r so lies in tho fact that important amendments nro often mado by the Henato after ticatics havo been arranged by the diplnmatla officers of tho treaty powers. Ho radical are these changes, in fact, that they havo caused tho failuro of pending treaties, a notablo iu Manco occurring in tho last Congi ess." ..,., . Tho sanio journal says editorially: "Whllo the United Htatca may not havo succcodrd in obtaining precisely what it has favored in respect to all tho points at issue in tho Bamoan Conference, tho indications point to the sub stantial adoption of tho American coutentlon by tho Commissioners. " CONGRATULATION! C0MIN0 W. Rccretaiy Blaino has to-day received soveral telegrams congratulating him upon the results of the llerlln Conference, based upon tho ab stract of the completed protocols published in Tim Would. Whllo declining to .discuss any Iihase whatever of tho subject hu is apparently itghly gratified, not only at tho results achieved y his Commissioners, but also at tho fftvorablo comment heard on all sides. An pfllcisl of tho Htato Department said to The Would coi respondent to-day that tho full tuxt of tho trcatv would hardly bo mado public nutil after tho Henato shall havo acted upon it. It w ill be remembered that w lion President Cleve land eut tho nihoilos treaty to tho Houato ho accompanied it with a suggestion that it bo mado public with as littlo delay as possible. This HUggeBtion was debated with closod doors and dually adopted, after which tho treaty was taken up and discussed in open session. It is not bellovod. however, that tho Hamoan treaty will go to tho Houato with any such ropiest fiom tho President nr Secretary Blaine. Tho fact that our relations with Germany and Kamoa. as well as with Eng land, aro involved, together with Hcoretary Blaiuo's well-known cautious and scoretlvo policy, induce tho belief that tho Henato will not make the Bsmoau treaty public uuttl after tho llual action. EXACTLY WHAT THE WOULD SAID. Concoriiinn The Wihild'h publication of tho abstract of tho Hamoan treaty, the Washington J'lint of this morning sa : ' Tho country will bo bloasod to learn that tho Hamoan Coufcrcuco has concluded its labors subject, of course, to tho approval of its respoct Ivo governments and that this tripartite treaty agreed upon embraces tho provisions which, from thorlrst, wcro contmidcd for by tho American Commissioners. The conference was held cut the invitation of tho German Cliancollor; and in framing instructions for tho action of tho CommlHHloncrs Jlr. Blaino closely followed tho policy outlined by his predecessor. Tliee instructions n,uutiug Tur.

How successfully tho American Commissioners carried out tholr instructions and how fully they disuhargid their duty in tbo premlHcs is shown by tho almtinct of tho treaty l , which has been oublml.

The handsomo cx-Sccrctary was found on tho lawn, trimming tho hedgo that divides his property from tho street and painting somo small sticks that he had planted near the hodgo to protect his Honors. Everything about the place looked spick and span in prepa ration for tho occupation of Its now mistress licit mouth. Mr. Bayard groctcd tho corre spondent pleasantly. "Havo yon read tho Hamoan treaty as cabled to The Would yester day t" asked the lcportur. "Yes, indeed," replied Mr, Bayard. "Will you glvo me your opinion of tho treaty and tho work accomplished by tho United Htatcs Commission V' "ImiiBt decline to express an opinion at this tlmo or to criticise the work of tho Commission ers.

I can see no reason to chango those opinions.

Mr. Bayard then re-read the cxclnshc cable cram ou tho treaty In yesterday's Would, but nrmly yet graciously declined to glvo a moro explicit opinion. He remarked that ho no longer occunlod an official position and was not rupomible for tho Government's action. HirrOLITE THE VICTOR. New of III Triumph Said to Havo Hern Itecelved In London.

One of tho most important Haytlan merchants, when questioned about tho rumor, said: . ., . "That Is Just what I havo been expecting to hear. It was bound to come, and that within a very short time." Among Legitime's adherent' the story was cliarantorlrod as a canard.

About six years ago ho Commercial Telegram Company succeeded In making a contract with tho Exchaugo for the privilege of putting its ticker on tho floor, and ever since then thcio hss heen tumble, for very shortly thereafter an cflort was mado to get the Commercial Company out. This eflorl was ie s'sted by the Company, who took the mat ter to the courts, whore it hss Ikjoii ovorsinco in intormlnablo lawsuits. Two weeks ago Judge Andrews of tho Htinrcmo Comt rendered the decision referred to by Mr. Mm so, and tho lawyers for tho Exchaugo at nucu advised tho Governing Committee of tho latter to take tho " hull by the liorus " and put both tickers out, and they followed that advice. The New tork Exchange, in Its facilities for semilog out its quotations, has been in ailvanco of all theexchaugesof tho woild. In the Lou don Htock Exchange tho quotations aio scut out every (If teen minutes only, and iu Pal in no quotations arc obtainable except direct from tome broker who n relates on the Bourse, but hero the ticker gave a cumpleto rccont of tlio entire business ually. A great many brokcis havo taken advantage of this to establish ofllcoj uptown, where tholr customers could go and see the quotations and soud their orders down by pnvato who, instead of being obliged to como downtown lu piraoit. Private news agencies havo also been established with tlckorsof tlielrown.on which they have sunt nut the quotations tak'ui from the official tickers, and there is to-dayZscarctly a hotel, leading ics taurant, bar, bllliard-rnom or any place whole men congregate where, bv means of this set v ice, Htock Exchaugo quotations could not bo sccu. 1ILUAININO 1IIH HK.VHEH.

Many pooplo woro btlll iu their bouses, ami tbo surging waters wcro so rapid in tholr movomcutb that many of these wcro caught at their avocutious and drowned at their posts.

Tbo Cumbria Irou aud Steel Company em ployed 1.C00 men in their big factory aud bud $5,000,000 worth of buildings, machlnory and stock. All this was reduced to a ruin, and tbe de voted city was literally wiped out and hun dred of lives were lost. From places far' up tha mountain side fu gitives from tho flood watched tbe courso of tbe destroyer as it did its ghastly work among their homes. Aflortwo hours but two roofs iu tbe city could bo seen ubovo the water, and during those awful two hours those in safety bad witucbbed sceucs such as have turned dark hair to gray and furrowed up smooth young faoes with tbo scams and wrinkles like those of old age, while many a heart was torn and bleeding with anguish unspeakable, Iu tho flood as it oame down tha valley wore hundreds of people clinging, with tbe grip of drowning ones, to trees to which they had taken at the first warniug of tho ap proaching flood. The trees had been torn up by tho roots and carried away with their human freight. Here and tbero one or two or three persons floated swiftly past on the roof of their valley home or on some bulky article of furniture, tbe thing nearest to them wbtn tbo tide reached them up tho valley. And then there were almost countless dead bodies rolled and tossed by the ruthless water, Eoine of them still clinging, with tea grasp of death, to some floating article, but most of tbem wrenched from their holdings and ghastly lu death. All alone the ronto of tbe flood people rushed to tho bridges to give aid to thoso who might float down on the maddened sea. but as the tcrriilo flood approached they saw how fruitless would bo their efforts and how dangerous their attempt, and rushing from tbo bridges would reach the shore just iu time to sco the structures rent and torn a, sunder, their ruins added to the floating debris.
