The Consul General to Samoa
Tells What He Knows
About the Island.
He Thinks There is a Plot Between
England and Germany to Do Up
the United States.
Germany to Take Possession Of Samoa
and England to Have Control
Of Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The senate
committee on foreign relations will hold
a meeting in the morning, when it is ex-
pected the Samoan question win be taken
up and discussed at length, with a view
Of making report to the senate. Mr..
Sewall, in his testimony, criticises Sc
verely the conduct of the state depart
ment on the Samoan question. The re-
suit Of the meeting will probably be the
reporting to the senate of resolution
condemnatory to the attitude and nom
action of the state department. From
conversations with members of the COM
mittee and others, the United Press is
able to give full synopsis of the testi-
mony of Consul General Sewall. Mr..
Sewall was before the subcommittee of
the foreign relations committee four
times. In his examination Mr.. Sewall
testified at length to the situation of the
islands. their commercial value. etc. /;
then quoting from the report made by
Mr.. Bates, of Delaware, commissioner of
the the United States to the SAM can
islands, he told of the status before he
went out as consul general in June, 1887.
Of the character of the natives he said
they were peaceable, law-abiding peo-
pie, and all Christians, and he bore testi-
mony to the excellent work of the mis-
sionaries on the islands. He said, fur
ther, that the natives of the islands were
very favorably impressed with the atti-
tude of the United States toward their
country when the existing treaty was
negotiated, and he expressed re-
greet that the treaty should ever
have been negotiated, since, as he said,
the attitude of the United States toward
them had not been maintained and they
had been made to suffer for it. Mr..
Sewall quoted extensively from CORES
pondence between him and the state de-
partment from the time of his arrival,
showing that the British consul had been
acting with the Germans for three years,
and he expressed the opinion freely that
there was an arrangement between the
two governments by which Great Britain
was to keep her hands off in this fight.
His understanding, he said, had always
been that the German government,
under this arrangement, was to take
possession of Samoa, the British govern
ment of the Tonga islands, and that
eventually Great Britain was to come
into possession of Hawaii. He said he
believed that if these operations were
not checked they would soon extend to
Hawaii, which is to be the northern rest
ing place of the cable between Vancou-
yer and New Zealand.

The Climate of Mexico.
The great advantage of a tropical
country as a place to live in, day in and
day out, is the freedom from the cares
incident to cold climate. There is no
fire to be tended, no thick garments to be
worn, no putting on of overshoes, no
shivering at night under insufficient
clothing. The cold is not cold to a trav-
eler fresh from the north and in good
health. The invalid will feel the relative
cold of tropical nights in winter Just as
does resident not very healthy, whose
blood has been thinned by the action of
the climate enduring over a series of
years. The climate, either on the table
lands or in the lower and warmer coun-
try, does not prevent out of door life at
any season. In fact, one Of necessity
gets much outdoor air. It is rare day
In the coolest weeks of the short table
land winter when windows are closed
half a day. At nightfall the doors and
windows are closed to keep out the chill,
but the cold will rarely register below

The most disagreeable thing about
household life in New England during
the winter is the overheating Of rooms.
The temptation Is to make them over
hot. People even get to enjoy dry heat
Of 80 dogs. But the danger comes when
you go out of doors into the keen and
eager air. In Mexican houses there Is
little difference at any time between the
air in doors and that of out of doors. In
summer the house is cooler than the
street into which the clear and dazzling
tropical sun is pouring its rays, but there
is no such contrast of indoor and out
door temperature as one finds in the
hOl III LII Cuc WlutcT luOutflS.
Here we have to be careful on leaving
a lamp lighted room in the evening and
going out Of doors not to catch cold in
the eyes, for it is a popularity of the
tropics that the eyes are especially sensi-
tive to sudden changes from light to
darkness. knew of a lawyer who one
evening sat in his study at home writing

than many other cities that have found
it both expedient and profitable and, ig-
noring the injunction suits that are sure
to follow the issuing of the proposed
bonds, with all the expenses and delays
incident to courts of law, it does seem
like wanton waste of water, which is
King in California. And when land own
ers come to learn that this fluid has been
rendered perfectly harmless and safe to
use, there will be no difficulty in dispos-
ing of it, and that at sum sufficient to
defray the expenses OF the plant used
TO rid it of its dangerous constituents. A
great many other reasons might be pro-
duced, to show how unwise it is to rush
headlong into this outfall sewer scheme,
but believe that most of them have
been thoroughly discussed, and my only
object was to bring the results of these
late experiments before those who will
have to bear the burden in the disposal
of the city's sewage.

Afternoon session.

Upon re-convening, Mr.. Hamilton
moved that the report be adopted.
Mr.. Wirsching stated that during the
noon recess, he had investigated the
matter and had found that the Finance
Committee had already cut down on the
same things that Q had figured upon.
Major Bonsall asked whether the
Finance Committee considered that the
rate could not be cut down still further,
SO as to make it $l.00.
City Clerk Teed said that it would not
be possible to get along with less. AS it
was, the taxes collected would be about
$1l0 900 less than were collected year
ago.
The recommendation of the committee
was then adopted unanimously, and the
rate was fixed at $l10
The Finance Committee recommended
that the Retrenchment Committee recon-
mend the restriction Of the different de-
partments OF the government to certain
sums per month, and that the Finance
Com mittee be instructed to approve de-
mands for only half of the total amount
allowed for the year during any one
month. Adopted.
An ordinance allowing the Police Com.
mission to appoint Humane Officer at
$40 per month was defeated by a vote Of
6 to 3.
Mr.. Hamilton moved that as Governor
Waterman is in town, he be invited to
attend the Council at 8 p. m, and that
the Council take recess and accompany
him on an inspection to the City Hall.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-08-20

Mr.. Wirsching thought that the rate
was too high and that it could get along
with 81 90 instead of 81 10.
MIR. Hamilton said that even with this
levy the funds would be short.
City Clerk Teed explained at length
the necessity for raising, at the very
least, the amounts determined upon.
The committee in conjunction with the
Auditor had carefully gone over the
matter and had cut down the expenses
about $l10 600, under the amount actual
ly expended last year. He thought that
Mr.. Wirsching did not understand the
matter.
