Olga Far from this, the German officials
in the island have entirely given up their
aggressive policy. The proclamation Of
martial law has been publicly withdrawn
and the Germans have abandoned all
claim TO the right Of searching incoming
vessels for oontraband articles Of war. Both
these steps have met with the hearty ap-
proval Of all foreign resident at Apia and
have had a quieting effect. Unusual tran
guilty prevails throughout the island.

WASHINGTON, March l4.-There is no
doubt now that the Tennessee "boodlcrs"
have been practically downed. Not only
will the aspirations Of these gentlemen
personally be disappointed but everybody
who has been unfortunate enough to be in
any way connected with them will also
suffer. Samuel Hawkins, candidate for
Governor last year. and the other members
OF his family who are here scrambling for
everything in sight, came up with the
combine and are disposed to swagger. The
result has been that the blasting influence
OF the combine has been felt by them, and
In all probability they will be left out in
the cold in the distribution of patronage.
The Republican triumyrate OF Ten
nessee Congressmen is united in their OPP
position, and as they are the ones who
will have most to say in the matter, that
would seem TO settle il. Samuel Hawkins
came here as a candidate for the Marshall
ship Of the Western District. Today il
looks as though he was defeated for that
place, and that il will go TO either S. II.
Haynes, Of Memphis, or Brown, OF
Brownsville. IIouk is for Haynes. Win
stead is the first choice OF the Congress.

vision, with Poston a good second In

will end.
For the Collectoship there are several
applicants. A. NJ Hughes, Ewing Birney,
ID. A. Num- and r. S. Montgomery would
all like to ill this place. but it is believed
that the first named stands the best
chance. Hughes held the position under
Arthur, and Houk would like 10 see him
there again.
w. I. 0wnby, OF Nashville, came here
TO try and get the District Attorneyship
for the Middle Division, but he is now
considering whether the Haytan mission
would not suit him better. II pays s., 900

the place, and have already presented his
claim TO Mr. Blaine This would leave
the way clear for Samuel Watson TO take
the attorncyship.

WAsnINGToN, March 1.-THE Presi-
dent was able TO devote more attention to
official business today than on any day
since his Inauguration. This was accom-
plished by denying himself to all callers
saving those with whom he had engage
ments. The crowd came as usual, and
when they found that the President was
not TO be seeh they turned their attention
TO the heads OF depart ments. The result
was that the Cabinet officers were over
