STRATEGIC VALUE

Importance of Samoa.
The People and Proclamations
Statistics Issued bV thflTrpacr,,
uepanment at wasnington.
WASHINGTON, April 2. The neo-
pie, productions and commercial and
strategic importance of the Samoan
Islands are discussed in a publication
just issued by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics. The Islands lie in an almost
direct line, between San Francisco and
Australia and slightly south of the
rect steamship line connecting the
Philippines with the proposed Panama
or Nicaraguan interoceanic canal. Their
special importance, it is stated, lies
more in their position as coaling and
repair stations on these great high
ways of commerce than in their direct
commercial value, their population be
ing small and their imports and .ex
ports of comparatively little import
ance. The group consists of ten inhabited
and two uninhabited islands, with an
area of 1700 square miles and an aggre
gate population, according to the latest
t ot n t c o AAA 1 c I- : t

race. The bulk of the population is lo- eXcept papa, of course, an' I told him
cated in the three islands of Upolou, 'j'd 'be sure to come to hear him preach
Savaii and Tutuila, the number in Upo-
lou being 16.C00; in Savaii, 12,500, and
in Tutuila, which contains the harbor
of Pago-Pago, ceded to the United
States in 1873 for a naval and coaling
station, 3700.
The Islands are of volcanic origin,
but fertile, producing cocoanuts, cotton,
sugar and coffee, the most important,
however, being cocoanuts, from which
the "copra" of commerce is obtained by
drying the kernel of the cocoanut. The
exportation of copra from the Islands
in 1890 amounted to 12,565,909 pounds,
valued at $231,372. A considerable pro
portion of this was exported to the
United States and a larger proportion
to Germany, whose citizens control its
commerce through a trading company
which has long been established there.
In 1S9G the imports were $304,159, of
which $47,552 came from the . United
States; $49,802 from Germany; $178,S57
from the Australasian colonies; $7044
from Great Britain and $21,904 from
other countries. The exports in 1S90
were $203,047, of which $231,372 ;was
copra.
KIPLING'S GRATITUDE.
NEW YORK, April 3 The following
letter of thanks has been written by
Rudyard Kipling to one of the papers:
"HOTEL GRENOBLE, Easter Day,
1S99 Dear Sir: Will you allow . me
through your columns to attempt some
acknowledgment of the wonderful sym
pathy, affection and kindness shown to
ward me during my recent illness, as
well as the unfailing courtesy that con
trolled its expression. I amnot strong
enough to answer letters in detail, so I
must take this means of thanking as
humbly as sincerely the countless
people of good will throughout the
world who have put me under a debt
I can never hope to repay. Faithfully
yours.
RUDYARD KIPLING,"
Air. Kipling got out of bed yesterday
for the first time since his illness. He
is well on the way toward complete re
covery. CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
WASHINGTON, April 3. President
McKinley has signed an order giving
official sanction to experiments for the
cure of consumption. The order trans
fers Fort Stanton, N. M., from the con
trol of the War Department to the Ma
rine Hospital Corps, under the imme
diate direction of Surgeon General Wy
man. It is purposed there to conduct
a series of experiments to learn if pul
monary tuberculosis may be cured or
even if the progress of the disease may
be stayed under proper surroundings
and with, the aid of scientific therapeu
tics. THE BIGGEST STEAMER YET.
(London Correspondence of The Bir
mingham Post.)
I am able to state that before the
Oceanic was launched at Belfast a com
peting company had given orders for
the construction of a steamer which
will exceed even the enormous propor
tions of the new White Star liner. All
the details of the design are being got
out, and there is little doubt that in
the course of the next few months the
contract will be let. The experience of
recent years has proved that steamers
of the largest class are, in certain
trades, very profitable; but it is evi
dent that the demand for such monster
vessels will have to be accomplished
by a proportionate increase in the grav
ing dock accommodation. At present,
I am told, there are only two drydocks
in the country which will be able to
admit the Oceanic namely, those at
Southampton and Tilbury.
PREACHER WON A SMALL BOY.
iJ m is muuij anu ins uentie way
oi ltuooing Away rain.
A small Cleveland boy has a dread
ful stock of .slang at his tongue's end,
to the great grief and humiliation of
ni mother. A great deal of this slang
ne l?arn3 in tne street, and some of it
ne sets from a wicked uncle,
I Tne 0her day while out with his
sIetl he ha1 a bati tumbIe oa the ice'
amI bruised his side quite sererely.
di-'He i?n t to hls a bo' to be Pitted b-v
mamma and he came hustling into the
house to set her help and comfort,
I ,He bounced int the parlor and there
sat a kindly faced gentleman with big,
dark eyes and a curling 'beard.
'I knew who it was right away,
mamma, and 1 said xo him: 'Ain't
you th' new gospel scout to our
church? An' ihe kind o' smiled an
said: 'You've guessed it, my boy. I'm
the new sermon shark at the brimstone
shack around the corner.' Say, mam
ma, he beats Uncle George cl?an
out o' sight. Uncle George don't know
no slang as good as that. Then he saw
me holdin' my side an' lie says:
next Sunday." Cleveland Plain Dealer.
JAPANESE MATCHES.
(From the Kobe Chronicle.)
Of matches, as well as of most other
manufactures in Japan, complaint has
been heard time and again from the
markets to which they have been ex
ported. We now gather from a ver
nacular contemporary that Japan is
fast losing the trade; Japanese matches
are being ousted by matches of Swed
ish manufacture, which are bounty-fed,
but are still three yen per ton dearer
than Japanese matches. The reason
why Japan is fast losing the market in
India and China is because Swedish
matches are of better quality, not a
single bad stick being found in a box,
while there is an average of three bad
ones in each smalL box cf Japanese
matches with regard to which we may
say that if the average is above three
the matches exported are infinitely
superior to those retailed in Japan.
However, the market is described as
extremely dull, and several firms are
cot touching the business. Conse
quently there is some talk among mem
bers of the local guild of suspending
the manufacture of matches at the end
of the year for a period of about six
weeks.
WHALE CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
It is said that in Australia there is a
hotel where rheumatism patients con
gregate. Whenever a whale has been
taken the patients are rowed over to
the works where the animal is cut up.
the whalers dig a narrow grave in the
body, and in this the patient li.es for
two hours, as in a Turkish bath, the
decomposing blubber of the whale
closing around his body and acting as
a huge poultice. This is known as the
whale cure for rheumatism.
THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
We believe Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best in the world. A
few weeks ago we suffered with a se
vere cold and a troublesome cough, and
having read their advertisements in
our own and.other papers we. purchas
ed a bottle to see if it would effect us.
It cured us before the bottle was more
than half used. It is the best medicine
out for colds and coughs. Tha Herald,
