SAMOA.

The people of the Samoan Islands have
sent representatives to Washington to ask
the Government to assume protectora't
over them. These islands are situated il
the South Pacific ocean, and contain about
2,64O square miles, and $4,000 inhabitants
The soil is said to be very rich, and COW
cred with dense forests. They produce all
the fruits and vegetables peculiar to the
tropics. The inhabitants are represented
to be superior to the Polynesians generally
and to be less fond of trinkets and gew-
gaws. In their commercial intercourse
with Europeans and Americans, they pre-
fer useful articles ia exchange for their
products.
The United States is destined to become
the greatest commercial nation in the
world; and We think the Government
should not refuse an offer of this kind.
Under our Territorial code We can h. ID
colonies without giving il,eii harbarous in
habitants voice in our rational c,urci 5.

GAMER INTERVIEWED.
j. VI. Farrell. ose IF the rroprietors Of
the eaanery. came up on the Fanny
Lake. and we had little conversation
with him. Our reporter asked -
How are you pleased with the situa.
ton OF matter. here. as far a. You
have proceeded, Mr.. Farrell.
Every we'll the fish are small and
inferior in fairness TO our Columbia
river salmon, but in season Of scarcity
IKE this we can only take what comes
to US.
REP-Does it make such difference
then, this matter Of size Of the fish /:
F-Of course it does Your salmon
mere average about six pounds. while
ours over yonder will average over
twenty. 1t takes Chinaman Just 50
long to clean fish, whether he Is big
or little. One of your fish here fills
about three cans, while one Of ours
will I'LL from eighteen to twenty-five
Now do you see where the profit comes
In? You certainly must.
As TO THE QUALITY.
REP-Mr. Farrell, what has the fat
ness OF the fish to do with its fitness FOR
this business:
F-Well, sir, it has great deal to do
with it. In the first place any man
would rather eat fat meat than "blue
beef" Again. the oil in the fat salmon
assists in the hermetical preservation
Sardines are put up in salad oil, while
the Columbia river salmon is more &C.
commodating and furnishes his own oil
Tor the purpose.
REP-Will you extend your canning
operations beyond the salmon season.
Eve are hardly prepared to say
what we will do as yet. If We were
certain of having an abundant supply
of clans furnished us at Mukilteo, so
that We could run the cannery with its
present force. we should be glad to do
80. 1t would not take long to introduce
them to the trade iii San Francisco
But it would not pay US to do it with a
reduced force.
AHE fKobAbLE MARKET.
REP--Where will you probably ship
your products. Mr. Farrellg
Can hardly say at present, per-
haps to San Francisco. We NAV, how.
ever, send them direct to England from
Victoria Negotiations are already
pending to that effect.
Here Mr.. Farrell began to read about
Gen. Gibbons victory over the Indians
(Which was accomplished in about the
same way that John Phoenix held
Judge Ames down by his nose. which
he inserted between the Judges teeth
for that purpose} and the reporter fell
back on Capt. Hills lounge, TO dream Of
Vic TuIi dressed as Catholic priest,
baptizihg baby in a huge tureen of
clam chowdcr, in cathedral that may
be built in Mukilteo hundred years
hence. He was rudely awakened by
the cries of the hotel runners on the
dock at Seattle. but he never heard
the boats whistle.

HANS AND FRITZ.

Hans and Fritz were two Deutschers who
lived side by side,
Remote from the world, it's deceit and it's

With their pretzels and beer the spare mo-

And the fruits of their, labor were peace
and content.
Hans purchased horse of neighbor one
day
And, lacking part of the Geld-as they
say
Made call upon Fritz to solicit loan,
To help him to pay for his beautiful roam.
Fritz kindly consented the money to lend,
And gave the required amount to his friend;
Remarking-his own simple language to
quote
"Berhaps it vas bedder We make us note"
The note was drawn up in their primitive

he did fearful execution among the victuals.
He finished his dinner in half an hour,
picked his teeth with a fork, called for a
cigar and proceeded to enjoy it.
Now then," said the proprietor, when
the tall man had finished his smoke, "let's

"Ah, yes" returned the tall man, with
pleasure. Procure me a light iron bar,
