BERLIN, May Sl.-The Samoan confer
ence win not meet again for several
days The Commissioners have agreed
to the questions at issue and have drawn
up protocol. This has been tele-
graphed to the Governments interested
and It is expected that replies will be
received by wire, On their arrival q
final sitting will be held.
1t Is stated that by the terms Of the
treaty the Government Of Samoa Is to be
exclusively native in It's composition,
and none OF the treaty powers will have
any voice In the government OF the town
Apia) further than that granted to them
In the general control Of the Samoan Is
lands. The leading clause in the treaty
insures the absolute autonomy Of the
islands, guaranteeing to the natives not
only predominating influence in every
governmental body, but RESTRICT
ing the treaty powers from repre-
sentatton upon the Samoan Council,
or Ministry. Secretary Bayard had
favored such representation. The
treaty further provides for a sort Of Gd-
yisory council to consult with the native
King when neCesaory. In view OF tho
large commercial interests OF the United
States and Germany, each OF these coun-
tries will be allowed a iull-hedged mem
Der, but England's representative will
act only in the character OF an arhiler
or umpire when the German and Amer.
lean Ministers fail to agree.
The Constitution Of the Government
Of the island Is provided for, and in this
feature Secretary Bayard's proposition
to the first Samoan conference has been
virtually adopted as a whole. The
Islands arc TO be governed by the native
King and Vice King,
