the commission to consider the question
concerning Samoa have seen Prince Bis
marck and Count Herbert Bismarck. The
former briefly expressed bis confidence
that the conference would be hhr-
monious. The foreign office appears to
be assured OF an early termination Of the
negotiations. The commission, how
ever, expects that the sittings will be
pfotracted for several months, especially
II the charges against Klein, involving
claims against the Washington govern
meut. are BROUGHT up. Prince Bismarck
certainly intends 10 place the evidence Of
Herren Braudeis aud Knappe and others
before the conference, but he has aban-
doned the claims for indemnity arising
from Klein's action.
The amount OF tho indemnity Is not
Iiheiy to eivo rise to sny disagreement,
being merely question On to the accu.
racy Of the claims presented. The foreign
Offices method OF levy presents difficult
ties. From the nature of the communi-
cations between Count Herbert Bismarck

il is surmised that the indemnity will take
the form OF extended land concessions

Prince Bismarck was especially cordial

ole on Samoa in the Century magazine
was written loSg before he Yves nomi-
mated delegate TO the conference, and
that after biz nomination he tried to
withdraw the article, but several thou.
sands OF copies bad been printed. Prince
Bismarck showed perfect familiarity with
the Samoan question. He expressed tue
hope that the conference would be brief.
he frequently referred TO the diplomatic
and parliamentary experience OF MeBsrs
Kasson and Phelps.
The first sitting was held at Q so p. m.
10 day At tho foreign offise. IL was en-
tirely informal. Count Herbert, after
erseting the American delegates, hold an
official reception to all the commits
sionsrs. A programme has been arranged
for the opening of the conference on
Monday.
Prince Bismarck will remain in Berlin
until the conference decisions assume
definite form. He will meet Signor

The Cologne Gasetts briefly concludes
