THE SAMOAN QUESTION.

From our San Francisco Correspondent.)
In the Reichstag forty four docu-
ments in the White Book relating to
the recent events in Samoa We're in
trOduced. The report from the Ger
man Consul at Apia, dated February
"a, 1888. describes the endeavors of
the Americans and English to pro
woke a conflict, and that support was
given Mataafa by Captain Leary. A
telegram was sent by Bismarck to
Washington and London, ordering
the Ministers to complain to the
United States. Klein. the American,
was a prominent fighter. The Min
listers were ordered to say that Ger
many adhered to the treaties, and
appealed to both Governments to co
operate with Germany to re-establish
tranquility. A document dated Feb.
I'd, from Bismarck to Admiral Goetz,
says: Germany is not at war with
Samoa, as the term is understood in
international laws, but regards Tam
asese as the rightful ruler and Ma
taafa a rebel, against whom retalia-
ton will be enforced, and any one
standing by him promotes conflict
with the Germans and must take the
consequences. The whole book sends
a long report from the German Con
sui at Apia 1t has thirteen appen
dices dealing with events. Bismarck
concludes by declaring that nothing
has changed the legal position of
foreign subjects in Samoa.
On November Oath Prince Bis
marck sent a telegram saying if the
vindication of Tamasese was impos-
sible, the utmost advances should be
made to reconcile him with Mataafa
On December Bird, DIR. Knappe re
ported that the American Comman-
der at Apia was stirring up the ma
tives against the Germans. On
December 18th, Consul Blackjack
complained that drunken sailors
from the German man-of-war Olga
had committed outrages in Apia,
entering houses and wounding men
and women. DIR. Knappe reported
later that foreigners had spread the
rumor that the Germans had been
forbidden to interfere. This rumOr
had the effect of encouraging the
natives, who stoned German sailors
and destroyed German properties.
In January, Prince Bismarck notified
DIR. Knappe that reprisals were
necessary, but only such as were
consonant with the treaties with
England and America. The Chan
cellor said: Because Mataafa as
saulted Tamasese we shall Interfere
only by succoring Tamasese." Prince
Bismarck charged DR.. Knappe to
entreat the other foreign Consuls to
combine in order to restore peace.

The coal bunkers at that port supplied
a year ago an average OF 10 900 to SO. 600
tons OF coal 10 shipping every month.
About the same time the city's popula-
ton was estimated at 20 900. Mills were
working day and night, and brickyards
pushed to their utmost, TO supply the
requisite building material for the growth
of the city. About s., 600 GOO was calcu-
lated as going into the new building
operations. The opera house, church es,
schools, commercial blocks, etc, are
grand and stylish.
Behind the city are inexhaustible coal
and iron mines, rich agricultural tracts,
lumber and fishery resources.
Seattle is far ahead of Honolulu in
public mprovements-post transit,
lighting, etc. The population was ex-
pected to double within the current two
years. Loans and discounts in the banks
for the year ending April, 1888, amounted
to So ,3S7 ,594, and deposits about $1,000,

And he left mark when he sat on the

The transportation of labor from Japan
to the Hawaiian islands has been bene-
fetal in more than one respect. Not
only have the emigrants beneuted them
selves, but by their removal they have
improved the position of those who re-
main in Japan. In some villages there
are not a sufficient number of tillers of

labor landlords have reduced ground
rents. There are now about 5000 Jap
