GERMANY AND SAMOA. The Situation in tlio Pacific Islands as it Stands up to Date?Tho Action oi'Coiisu! Rose. Washington I'ost: In order to put the Samoan question fairly before our- ' selves, it la necessary to make a brief review of tile past. Ad regards the events of twelve years ago, we are already fully advised of their nature and significance. Tho trouble then arose from German aggression, and from the resistance offered by the representatives of Great Britain and the United States. Even Germany will hardly venture to question that, since Prince Bismarck rebuked and recalled tho German consul, and discredited the whole course the latter had pursued. The greatest misfortune of that, time was the hurricane, which undoubtedly prevented hostilities, But for that malign accident tho issue would have been made, and the controversy settled in 2S?V>. . Then followed the trcrtty of Berlin, the arrangement of a new dispensation, and over since things have, bfcen going from bad to worse upon thtfjteame old lines and with the same arhiy of contention. The consummation"'came some weeks ngo, when the German consul undertook to overrule the decision of the chief justice, and to set up nguJns.. the concurrence of the two other powers and the plain intent and purpose of the Berlin treaty tho single antagonism of Germany's arrogant pretensions. Herr Bose refused to recognize Malleota Tanu as king, although his election had been certlliod by the chief. justlcc?a final decision under the terms of the treaty?and thereupon he ordained what 1s called the provisional government, explaining the necessity for that on the ground that the consuls had to act ununlmously in order to' assure a legitimate government. Jn this way Germany, by the simple and Ingenious expedient of refusing to agree with tho United States and England, paralyzed the regular and lawful functions of authority. and created an excuse for setting up the "provisional" concern?a purely German establishment. Surely an nmazlng diplomatic achievement, which suspended the provisions of the trl- partite compact jtnd put all power In the hands of a minority. It Is with the results of this extraordinary and fatuous proceeding, however, that .we havo to deal. Naturally, neither the United States nor England could consistently assent to a situation which extinguished the Berlin treaty, excluded them both from ai?y participation in the government of Samoa, and practically usurped, In the interests of Germany, all authority over Ihe entire group of islands. Then followed, as might have been ^expected. naval reenforcementa for both the ousted pow-ers. and. colnc.idently came Admiral Kautz with Instructions which enabled him to deal with the emergency. Thus it happened that Kautz. with the support find assent of both British and American authorities, issued his now famous proclamation: "To his highness Mataafa and the thirteen chiefs associated with him in particular, and to nil the people of Samoa, both foreign and native, In general: "1. Whereas, at a meeting held this day 0:1 board the United Stales flagship I'hlldelphln, at nnehor at Apia, at which were present the consular representatives or the signatory powers of the JScrlin treaty of 18iiS and the thre<? senior r.aval oClc..rs of the came powers, it was agrcid that the so-called provli'inr.al government under High Chief Mat a 2 fa and thirteen other chiefs, can haw- no legal status under the Berlin treaty, and ear. therefore not be recog r.iKJ <?y inc consular ana naval re]ireeenlr.tlvos. It Is hereby ordered that lin' hisli chief .and the thirteen other chiefs go quietly to their horr.es. and oh.-y the Jaws of .Samoa and respect the Berlin treaty. "J. It is further ordered that all the chiefs and their people who have been ejectcd from their homes, and who have been sent to different points in the Samoan:islands, return quietly to their a foresaid, homes without molestation The guarar.tcejof protection, so far as lies In the power of the naval forces now in this harbor, is given to nil who quietly obey thin order; on the other hand, it will be used against all who disregard it. or the rights of quiet and peaceably disposed people. "4. Tho treaty of Berlin recognizes the chief justice ??f Samoa as the highest officer under the existing government. and as long as he holds his office his authority must be respected and the decree o? the court must be carried out. "5. Trusting that all residents of Srimoawlll have the good sense to observe the requirements of this proclamation, which Is Issued in the interests of pcace. with an earnest regard for the rights of all. both foreign and native, and that there may bo no occasion to use power to enforce it. I am respectfully, ROBERT KAUTZ. "Rear Admiral United States Navy. Commander-in-Chief United States Naval Force on Pacific Station. "March 11, 1SS9." This would have had the desired effect. It is a matter of history that Mataafa and his followers had begun to withdraw, when tho German Consul Rose promptly Issued a counter-proclamation. as follows: " NOTICE TO ALL SAMOANS." "By the proclamation of the Admiral of the United States, dated March 11. was made known that the three consul# of the signatory powers of the Berlin treaty, ns well an the three commanders of men-of-war had been unanimous to no more recognize the provisional government, composed of Mataafa and the thirteen chiefs. "I therefore make known to you that this proclamation'Is quite false. 1, aa tlie German consul, will continue to recognise the provisional government of Samoa until I have received contrary Instructions from my government. UOSIS, "German Consul-Ger.eral. "Apia, March 12, 1S99." The Immediate result of this w.'i'i that Matoafa returned in force, attacked the English and American quarters, killing several of our men and InauKurating a small but pestiferous war. . That he acted on the German consul's plain suggestion It Is, of course, impossible to doubt. That Hose insulted Admiral Kautx by publicly denouncing his statements as false Is equally undeniable. There Is no escaping the conclusion that Germany, through her ofllclal agents, first brought about a situation which called for the action taken by the other powers, and then openly cncouruKod Matanfa and his huvukc warriors to attempt their doSors Throat Hoarseness, soro throat and constant . coughing indicate that the bronchial I tubes nro suffering from a bad cold, which may dovclop into pleurisy or Inflammation of the lungs.

No amount of diplomatic palaver can Bcreen or soften these notorious facts. But now comc3 the ugliest and most ominous feature of the whole affair. Now we find the German press insisting that the empire was Insulted by Admiral Kautz, and there are still graver rumors to the. effect that Germany Is warranted In demanding satisfaction for the admiral's action. We are told that the United States and England are expected to disavow the action of their olllclals?nay, that Germany intends to demand such disavowal. Here we have indeed a menacing situation. Of course neither the United States nor I Great Britain will discredit their rep- | reaentatlves In Samoa. Of course Admiral Kautz will not be dishonored or rebuked by our government If that Is Germany's ultimatum, there is no need for courts, commissions or tribunals. There Is still a chance that all of this Is the Irresponsible gabble of the chauvinist newspapers of Germany? where, as we have already seen, yellow journalism has already made Its home. Let us hope it Is. The German emperor ] has shown himself to no?well, eccentrlc?ln minor matters, and . has more than once excited the alarm of British . statesmen, such as Gladstone and others; but it is hardly conceivable that he will take the fantastic view of the I Samoan question suggested by the Ger- | man press, and make demands that can be answerqd only with deflnance | and repudiation.' A peaceful and satisfactory adjustment is still possible. . ? * uvuniib ma'iu'ic 10 prevent u. i A DRAMATIC SCENE. A "Hester Pryftyo" In Real Life. I Tenets of (lib Dunlcardn. Snn Francisco Chronicle: "Before my! God and the whole church I confess my sins. I confess that I have broken Goal's law." The Bpeaker was Miss Cella Overholtzer, eldest daughter of a millionaire orange grower of t'he> Pomona valley. The occasion was the assemblage of1 the whole Dunkard denomination at the large church at Lordsburg in services commemorative of Good Friday. It is a modern instance of the sin of Hester Prynne and her Puritan pastor, Mr. Dlmmesdale, in "the Scarlet Letter." Several years ago the Rev. Edward A. Miller was called to the presidency ot the Dunkard collego- at Lordsburg, from Philadelphia. I-Ie was a bright, active young man with a wife and two small children. Miller became a power in the new college and his sermons In the Dunkard church were considered the most eloquent ever henrd In voNo*- Tl-n * lege doubled in one year, and the young pastor anil teacher was in demand, wherever patriotic and religious oratory was wanted. Among the girl students at the college was Cella Overholtzer. She was eighteen when she first met Miller, and an unusually pretty girl. The Rev. Mr. Miller asked her to become his private secretary, and until last December she gave several hours every week of the college year to clerical labor In the college president's study. Last autumn there were rumors among the college students that suspicious clrcumstances had been observed about the president's study. The Dunkards at Dordsburg denounced the rumors as falsehoods and the congregation flocked to sustain the reputation of the popular preacher. Whef the Dunkards were preparing for the observance of Good Friday and nightly prayer meetings were in progress. Miss Overholtzer awoke her father late at night and. throwing herself on the floor at his bedside, told him be- j tween her sobs and moans that at last ] her conscience had overwhelmed her I and she must confess. The tenets of the Dunkard denomi- , nation require that all sins should be j told the church, so Cella Overholtzer rose In the family pew nnd read her confession frcrn a sheet of paper. Her voice was broken; and choking tears ran down her ashen cheeks and she gripped the rail of the pew to keep from reeling. When she had finished her white-haired father put his arm nWmf Her nrw* 1 ? ? ?-M_ , _ ?... . u.iu iiciu iivi nijsi:. wniin lamer and daughter wept together convulsively. I Over 1,500 per?on3 were present and all were sympathetic. Tt was some time before the presiding elder could recover his voice. Then, in faltering accent-:, he read a more detailed confession. Some one moved the expulsion of Miller from the church, nnd It was carried, amid learn and cries. Miller knew what was coming. lie had gone with his "family to Los Angeles a few hours before, but left a note, confessing his guilt and asking the prayers of his church. Miss Overholtzer was carried from the church to her home helpless and In a daze. One of her four brothers Is said to be insane with Brief. Kipling's Methodist. Ancestry, Mr. Kipling comes of Methodist ancestry "on both sides of the house," as they say down east, and perhaps elsewhere. His patern.il grandfather was the Rev. Joseph Kinllncr. a member nf a well-to-do farming family in Cumberland. One who knew him writes: "I-Te was n good. devoted man nnd much respected. Hut ho was as plain as ;i pikestaff In appearance, dress, type of mind, preaching and everything. The brilliancy of the grandson did not come from him." The other grandfather was the Rev. George 13. Macdonnid, also a "Wesleyan clergyman, but of an altogether different type. "He." declares the same authority, "was a man of very unusual gifts, brimfu". of poetry, wit and humor. If Itudynrd Kipling got his name "from his paternal grandfather he undoubtedly got his brilliancy, from his maternal grandfather." It is related of this bright Macdonald that in the days when he was courting the lady whom he afterward married the father-in-law-to-be, an aged Methodist with extremely strict notions in regard to the proprieties, was Injudicious enough on one occasion to enter the parlor without giving any warning of his approach. The consequence was that he found the sweethearts occupying a single ehair. Deeply shocked by this spectacle the old man solemnly said: "Mr. Macdonald, when I was courting Mrs. Drown she sat. on one side of the room and I on the other." Macdonald's reply .was: "That's what I should have done if I had been courting Mrs. Brown."--Troy Preys. Disappointment.

There was a wild rush to buy nt the opening, and the specialties made large gains, part of which they retained, while the railways, which had Improved smartly, left off at about yesterday's figures. The rise of Americano In London before the opening, and the momentum of yesterday's advance wore responsible for the early excitement In the market. Call money ranged from 4 to 0 per cent, closing at the lower figure, and sterling exchange was strong throughout, demand sterling rising % per cent. The rapidity of the early advance Induced heavy realizations, but a general tone of Strength prevailed until the afternoon, when some sharp recessions occurred. The killing of American and English naval officers In Samoa seemed to arouse apprehension in some quarters of further complications. Among the specialties strong features were Brooklyn Transit, Consolidated Gas, People's Gas, Sutrar and the Iron and steel shares. Baltimore & Ohio Issues, Norfolk & Western preferred and Northern Pacific were strong. Foreign houses were early purchaser, but resold about half as much on the local rise. Some of the foreign purchasing was connected with London's fortnightly settlement. A number of shorts were driven to cover early, owing to the commission house demand, especially for Industrials, because of a more liberal position taken by a number of banks toward such stock.

Reports of crop conditions tvefrs the chief consideration again with wheat speculators at the opening and those being of one unvarying tone of badness, the market opened strong. Receipts here and in the northwest were small, Chicago netting only thirty-five cars, of which two were graded contract and Minneapolis and Duluth 188/'compared with 112 a year ngo. The Missouri weather bureau report of the wheat condition in that state said many correspondents reported half the wheat Ulllrul nntl .thn Town vinln rnnnrt rloim, rl late sown wheat was about all dead and early sown seriously damaged.
