SAMOAN SETTLEMENT.
The Agreement Stgned-What the Con
missioners Have Agreed To.


The Agreement Signed-What the Con-
missioners Have Agreed To.
WASHINGTON, June IA dispatch re-
ceived here from Berlin, ststes that the
Samoan conference had met again and
after brief discussion concluded their
iabors when the agreement negotiated by
the Commissioners was signed by all the
members of the conferences.
At the State Department il was an.
nounced that the agreement would not be
made public until confirmed by the Senate
While it was called an agreement by the
officers OF the State Department, Walker
Blaine said last evening that he thought
1T would undoubtedly require ratification
by the Senate. II the instrument signed
was one regulating the conduct Of two
countries toward each other, as for in
stance, between the United States and
Samoa,it would properly be desig-
mated as treaty, but where
the instrument signed is to shape
the conduct of three Governments-the
United States, England and Germany
towards a fourth party@samoa-it Was
held that its proper nomenclature was an
agreement. At the same time, as it was
a matter affecting the foreign policy of
the United States, it would need ratifica-
tion by the Senate. and therefore. it could
not be made public prior to action by the
approved by all members of the confer
ence and by their respective Govern
ments. The best of feeling prevailed at
the termination Of the labors of the Com
missioners.
WHAT THE AGREEMENT PROVIDES
BERLIN, June 15.-America having aban-
doned her principal objections to the
agreement previously arrived at the
plenipotentiaries had only to make unes-
sential notifications in the wording of the
draft of treaty. The draft guarantees an
autonomous administration of the islands
under the joint control of Germany and
America, England acting as arbitrator in
the event of differences arising. The Sa-
means are to elect their own King and
Viceroy and to be represented in a Senate
composed of the principal chiefs and
chambers elected by the people. Samoa
is to have the right of levying duties of
every kind. The Germans are to receive
a money indemnity for their losses. A
special court is to be appointed to deal
with the land question.
The Americans made their adhesion
conditional upon the ratification of the
treaty by the United States Senate. The
status quo will therefore obtain in Samoa
until December. Mr.. Phelps will carry
the agreement to Washington and it will
not be published until signed by the
American Government.
Messrs. Kasson. Bates and Phelps cor
daily thanked Count Herbert Bismarck
for the courteous manner in which they
had been treated and warmly praised the
skill and tact with which he had presided
over the deliberations Of the conference.
Sir Edward Malet thanked Count Herbert
on behalf of the English delegates. Count
Herbert in reply said he hoped they had
reached a final solution of the difficult
question.

Sullivan Admitted to Ball

CHICAGO. June 15.-Alexander Sullivan
was admitted to bail in Judge Tuley's
court at five O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
His bond, which was fixed at 81, 900, was
promptly given and was signed by
Michael W. Kirwin, James Twohy,
Daniel Corkey and Ferdinand Jones. In
rendering his decision upon the writ OF
habeas corpus, Judge Tuiey said substan-
TALLY that the only important testimony
from a legal point of view against Sulli-
van is that of J. d. Haggerty. who swears
to having himself heard Sullivan use
threats toward DIR. Cronin, but that taken
in toto the testimony does no more than
direct suspicion against him.
