Diplomatic Civilities,

BERLIN, May 2l,-The special cores
pondent here Of the Associated Press
learns that a serious hitch has occurred
in the negotiations between the Com,
missioners to the conference on Samoan
affairs,
The United States Government insists
that Malletoa be restored as King, This ia
the chief point at issue.
The German government Is reluctant
to agree to the proposition. It's repre-
sentatives point out that Germany has
pardoned Malietoa, and declare that
they think that is the best their Govern
ment can do so far as he is concerned.
Another dispatch states; From GER
tain indications at the rooms Of the
American delegates, as well as at the
quarters Of the English Commissioners,
and at the German Foreign Office, 1t is
evident there Is some serious hitch in
the negotiations OF the Samoan Commits
sion. Mr.. Phelps, who Is known as the
peacemaker in conference, and In the
working committee, Is in evident trou.
Bile. First he Is interviewing an Eng.
llsh Commissioner In his own rooms,
then he Is hurrying of to the Foreign
Office, where lie remains for some time
closeted with the German representa-.
tiyes, and then repeating the process.
When asked as TO the situation, com.
missioners Phelps, Kasson and Bates
say that there Is no great change, and
that everything is progressing satisfac.
torily. Both the German and English
Commissioners refuse to talk on the
subject, but II Is learned from other
sources that the United States Govern.
ment has instructed It's Commissioners
to insist upon the return OF Malietoa
as King. A message Is said to have
been received flom Secretary Blaine
within the past thlrty.six hours, direct
ting the Commissioners to insist upon
the restoration ofstatus quo, and saying
that Germany deposed Malietoa and must
return him as King. They may
haggle about indemnity or a.
unit or dual, or tripartite government
II they please, but Malietoa will be King.
While the Germans have come to agree
on all other views Of the American com.
missioners, they are reluctant to accept
this condition, and point TO the fact that
Maleitoa was pardoned by the German
Emperor at the beginning OF the con.
ference. This, they claim, should sat
isty America. 1t is thought that crisis
will be reached at the next meeting OF
the conference. The American com.
missioners last night were quiet and
conciliatory in their utterances concern
ing the situation, but expressed deter
to remain firm.

PITTSBURGH, May 2l.-In an interview
to-day concerning prohibition, Mr.. Jus.
tice Bradley, Of the U. s. Supreme
Court, said: "The general impression
seems to prevail that the Supreme Court
decided that prohibition was constitu.
tlonal. That Is a great mistake. The
Supreme Court merely decided that It
was unconstitutional. The court has
nothing to do whatever with the ques-
tion. II comes under the head OF those
rights delegated to the States by the
Constitution, so that II the question
were submitted to a vote Of the Supreme
Court, am not sure that the measure

opinions. Probably prohibition Is a good
thing, and there Is no doubt that intem.

Some Frank Statements,
LONDON, May 2l,-In his testimony
before the Parnell Commission to-day,
Mr., William O'Brien described the
wretched condition Of the people In
Ireland prior to the formation Of the
League, They were in debt up to their
neCks, he said, and had absolutely no re.
dress against the exactions Of the land.
lords,
The troubles after 1870 arose from the
universal movement OF the landlords to
take advantage OF the two years allowed
by the act Of 1870 To get rid Of small ten
ants, and thus save the payment OF COM
pensation,
The condition Of affairs in County
Mayo, when Mr., Dayltt formed the
League there, was appalling. Wholesale
famine and bankruptcy seemed ineylta,
BILE, Farmers sold everything at q dead
loss, The landlords did nothing to al,
leYlate the distressj on the contrary,
they denied that any distress existed,
Mr., O'Brien stated that he approved
boycotting. He believed 1t prevented
crime.
Mr., Reid, oicounsel for the Parnellites,
read an article from the United ireland
denounClng the Phoenix Park murders,
and asserting that the assassins, II dis
covered, would be more likely to be
lynched in Dublin than in London. Mr.,
O'Brien said that the anger expressed in |
the article was undoubtedly genuine.
The view OF the Nationallsts was that
the Government should pursue policy
Of Cancellation aud thus obtain the peo.
ple's sympathies with the law, but the
members Of the government lost their
heads aud passed strong coercion
measure, under which the country had
been terribly disturbed for three years.
The Government, in 1889, suppressed
The United ireland, because witness
charged the Government in that paper
with getting up crime, which charge he
was perfectly prepared 10 prove. Mr..
O'Brien attempted to enter into the de-
tails OF the alleged outrages instigated BY
The Government, but Attorney General
objected, and his objection was
by the court,
The commission then adjourned.

The number Of wholesale dealers Is

the decision Of the United States
