SAMOA.
One result of the conference at Ber-
lin, IN which the governments of Ger
many, the United Kingdom and the
United States took part, is the return of
King Malietoa to power. He was de-
posed by the German naval forces nearly
two years ago. His place of exile was
Jaluit, Marshall islands. MalietOa is as
sisted in the government by Mataafa,
who was king during his exile.
It was in 1879 that the English, Ger
man and American consuls devised in CO.
operation a scheme for the purpose of
establishing q good local government for
the town of Apia, the Samoan islands,
and its suburbs. In this agreement,
which was signed by the English and
German consuls, King Malietoa was
recognized. In 1880 Germany began to
encourage that native opposition TO King
Maletoa which eliminated in his de-
thTonement and exile. Four years
after the king was forced by
the Germans to sign treaty
giving nearly an entire control of the at
fairs of Samoa into their hands He af-
forwards refused to carry out the agree
ment and was driven from the seat of
government. The American consul then
gave Mahetoa the formal protectorate by
this country, an act promptly disavOTed
by our government. Afterwards
England, Germany and America agreed
to a conference on Samoan affairs. The
present arrangement is the result

THE AUTHOR OF
BY ORDER OF TEE GEAR
j o PHI HArrqr.

The popular author of t''cruel London, -
''The Three Recruits and fully half score
other wellknown novels, is one of the hardest
working men in journalistic London. He is
about medium height, charming in manner,
brilliant in conversation and an admirable
rGcOnteUr. He was born in AndOver Hants in
1899, and taken to Chesterfield in 1871, where
his father established printing and publishing
business, and subsequently started newspaper.
Young Hatton was intended for the law, but MS
tastes tended toward literature. His aspira
tions, however, were viewed with disfavor-so
much so that at the age of sixteen he ran away
from home. IN various journalistic capacities
from junior reporter to prOprietor-he was To-
Gated at Lincoln, Cardiff, Bristol, Durham, Wor-
cester, in the NIdlands, and made his first APP
pearance in London as editor of the GentLemGn's
MGgGsine, IN which publication his novel
"Clytie'' first saw the light. There are few
periodicals Of front rank to which Mr.. Hatton
has not contributed. During a twenty years
residence in London he has written miles upon
miles Of newspaper and magazine articles has
published on an average more than one book per
annum, has crossed the Atlantic az dozen times,
and Tor seven or eight years wrote from four to
six columns weekly for the NeO ROTh; Times AS
q novelist Mr.. Hatton has done good and endur-
ing work, and we confidently anticipate that his
new story, by Order of the Gar - will greatly
add to the reputation he has already achieved.
