Samoan commerce has decreased some
what during the past two years, due to the
great disturbances there, but it is not so
small as some peple might imagine. In 1855
the total amount of trade was $542,612. OF
this Germany secured 1921, 612, the United
States, $l4G, 0O0, and Great Britain the remain
der, Sl15, 600 There is no reason why, if free
from internal troubles, the Samoan Islands
should not have trade worth annually fifty
times as much as the foregoing figures. The
soil is rich and is covered with the most 1uxu-
RANT tropical vegetation. The hills are
masses of timber right up to their SUBMITS,
most of the trees being of valuable varie-
ties. Fruits such as only the tropics can pro-
duce are everywhere-oranges, bananas,
mulberries. cocoanuts, pineapples, lines, and
bread fruit. Cotton grows to perfection
there, and sugar cane will prosper wherever
planted. Coffee can be made the staple
product.
The Samoans are really a fine-looking
people, especially the men. They are tall,
proportional, muscular and red headed,
the latter peculiarly being due to the habit
they have of applying lime to the hair as
cleanser. Their clothing is generally of the
1east elaborate description, and in the ma
iority of cases consists simply of cloth or
shawl twisted around the waist and falling
to the knees or there's bouts. This garment
covers the elaborate tattooing which is found
on every Samoan, and which is never

This will be the first time anything OF
the kind has been attempted at an
inaugural ball, and will, without doubt,
be the grandest musical combination ever
heard in Washington. There will be seven
concert pieces, one more than were rendered
four years ago, Including the grand fantasia
from Wagner's 'Tannhauser," selections
from ''LOhengrin,' and the march Aux
Flambeaux," by Meyerbeer. The order Of
dances consists of twenty-three numbers,
including the promenade waltz Quadrille
lanciers, polka, York and galop

Of fireworks ever seen in this country.

with a simultaneous discharge of $500
rockets, the largest fight of rockets ever
fired in the United States. Fire portraits Of
Washington, Lincoln, Harrison and Morton
and representations of the Capitol and White
House are to be given. Altogether ten tons
of material will be burned. Before the dis
play Pennsylvania avenue will be Illuminated
with aurelian fires, igniUed simultaneously
by electricity.

SAMOA And THE SAMOANS.
A Look at the Land and the PeO-
pie SO Much Talked About.
The Interest Which This Country
Has in Samoa.

It is probably safe to say, asserts the San
Francisco Chronicle, that nine-tenths of the
people of this land are in a state Of intense
geographical darkness as to the location OF
the Samoan Islands. 4 good many people
imagine that the islands are few hundred
miles west of San Francisco, but lots Of other
ordinarily well-informed folks dispute that
statement without, however, being able to
afford any specific information as to the
location of those little coral-founded mud
heaps over which so much diplomatic fuss is
being made.
II you draw a circle on good map OF the
Pacific Ocean and include within the bounda-
ries of your ring the functions of the thir-
tenth and fourteenth parallels of south lati-
tude and the one hundred and sixty nine and
one hundred and seventy third meridian of
longitude west of Green wich, you will find
that you have fenced around that portion of
the globe in which Samoa is to be found.
The little irregular shaped dots on the sur
face of the ocean are the islands over which
not a few people are worrying. Nine of
the islands are inhabited. These are the
prizes There are a number of smaller
and comparatively valueless islets, but
they are rarely heard of. The islands which
make 1p the Kingdom of Samoa are called

One play represented dogs quarreling over
bone, and the deep grows and snarls of the
men representing the big dogs, as we'll as the
shrill bark of the chiefs daughter, the little
dog, were very natural, as we'll as their &C
ton. AnOf her play represented mother
moaning over her dead baby. She was

discovered the misfortune which had be-
fallen his house. IhereupOn the grief was
even more violent than that of his Spouse
and he indicated that nothing could solace
him but rum. When he had gained suffi-
Gent control over his feelings he asked the
mother what was the cause of the child's
death, and her reply created great merri-
ment among the natives. She said 1t had
died waiting for the American man -on-war
to Gomez The entertainment finished in
frenzy of motion, throwing up of hands,
a whirl of the body, and hearty peal of
laughter"
The question is frequently asked: ''What
interest has the United States in Samoa"
The interest is not small one. Samoa is
almost directly in the course of vessels run
ming between the Pacific coast and Australia
and New Zealand. This line of commerce is
growing very rapidly, and its proportions
will soon be immense The United States
needs port of call and cOaling station IL
Samoa: and if the kingdom is in the posses
sion of one of the great European powers
it would shut American vessels out
in case Of hostilities, and thus do ire
parable damage to this country. If the
Nicaragua canal is completed Samoa will
then be in the direct line of communication
between Australia and Europe, and this will
add enormously to the commercial and
strategical value of the islands. England
does not want them; she has FIJI, Australia,
and New Zealand. The United States does
not want them; it only wants to see them in
DEPENDENT; it only asks that Samoan auton-
omy be not disturbed or imperilled.

All the labor on the big plantations is done
by slaves, who are imported from the Salo-
mon Islands and Fiji.
The women are small and not bad looking.
They are generally clad as the men are: but
there are three or four new styles Of semi
European costumes used by few. The wo-
men are also tattooed, but there is less of it
than in the case of the men. Many Of the
natives speak English, aud they are all re-
hgiously inclined Family prayers arise twice
every day. and Sunday is a day OF rnbrok-
en- rest Nothing can be bought on that day.
The churches are filled at every service, and
which are conducted principally by English
Wesleyan Methodist missionaries The Sa-
me rs are very fond of music and they sing
with an enthusiasm that occasionally spoils
the harmony.
The Samoans have peculiar variety OF
what they call dances There IS but little
real dancing, however. for the performers
are seated the greater part of the time Eliza
beth Scott Parker thus describes some of the
dances she saw on the deck of an American
man-of-war at Apia: The dance is per-
formed mostly in sitting posture. and CON

APIA HARBoR FROM AMERICAN CONSULATE.
Tutuila, Opolu. Manua, Olosinga, Ofu, Ma
mona. Anuu, Savaii and Al olima- OF these
islands by far the most important is Opolu,
and its great port Apia, is the capital city Of
Samoa Opolu is the second island in size: 1t
is about thirty eight miles long and little
less than eleven miles broad. At Apia is the
seat of government, and within the city
limits are the residences of about al the
foreigners on the island. Greatest in size is
Savaii, being about forty miles long and
twenty miles broad. The greater portion
of Savaiian surface is occupied by
two mountain ranges of volcanic
origin. In the interior of the island there
are numerous lava beds, and consequently
there is dearth of animal life. The inter
est of the United States, however. is at
present centered principally on the island of
Tutuila, because treaty rights have there
given us possession of the harbor of Pago-
Page. The island is fully II miles long, and
at its greatest width measures about miles.
The harbor Of Pago -Pago IS on the south side
of the island, and the indentation made by it
almost makes two islands Of Tutuila.

THE PARNELL COMMISSION.
Sensational Evidence ola Man Once
Prominent Fenian.

The most sensational testimony yet ad-
duced before the Parnell Commission in Lon
don has been given by Dr. Thomas Philip
Beach, better known as Major LIE Caron,
who has been connected with Fenian organ
iZatiOps since 1865, and is said to have been in
the pay Of the British and Canadian Gov
ernments for number of years. He said
he attended meetings of the United Brother
hood, or Gamma Gael, in America, at which
Messrs. Parnell and Dillon were present The
witness was informed by Patrick Egan that
Mr.. Parnell wanted to join the organization,
utfeared his accession m ght impair It's use
fulneSs.
LIE Caron said he afterward had two inter
views with Parnell: the first in the house of
A. M. Sullivan at Chaplain, and the second
in the lobby of the House Of Common. doc
tor" said the Irish leader, Il have long
since ceased to believe that anything but
force of arms can ever bring about
the redemption Of Ireland" He did
not see, he continued, why there could
not be a successful revolution in Ireland.
The League treasury had 100000 for the
purpose. and the people might contribute
more. The witness, in interviews with
Messrs. Sexton and kenney, discussed an
uprising.
A London dispatch states that on the Sec
ond day of his appearance on the witness
stand lie Caron told what purpOrted to be
the story Of how Fenianism developed into
dynamite conspiracy, and at WearSOme
length detailed the proceedings at the Chi
cago Convention and other historical gather
ings of American Irish. The names Of Par
nell and less prominent members of the irish
Parliamentary party were freely banded
about, but even if tO-dayS evidence be &C
cepted as truthful, which requires an exercise
Of phenomenal faith, it proves no more than
that the Land League leaders from the first
endeavored to sever themselves from the part
of violence and tried to convert the reVOlu-
Gonists to faith in constitutional methods"

There is but one design and that is followed
strictly in all cases. Samoan laws against
tattooing are very stringent. and violations
are punishable by imprisonment and heavy
fine. The chiefs and principal men wear
garlands of flowers around their necks and
some of them indulge in the additional
adornment impaired by a head-dress of
leaves. The men dislike work, and they do
as little as possible. This is probably due to
the fact that there is but little labor needed
to produce sufficient on which to live we'll
