The Samoan White Book.

SAN FKASCIsCo, March 23.-In the
white book published at Berlin respect
ing Samoan matters Prince Bismarck re-
fers TO the arrest of Caller, the English
man, by Il E German consul at Apia for
suggesting that Mataafa should write to
Sir Geo. Grey, ex-minister of New Zea-
land, as to the course the Samoans
should pursue. Ex-Governor Grey, who
is held in great esteem in the colonies,
when asked respecting his views by the
Auk!aud Herald as TO Samoa, said: It
would be far more preferable TO have
each of these isthmus groups with inde-
pendent governments settling all dis
putes among themselves by arbitration,
and guided if possible by commissioners
of foreign powers. It is clear that
America is aiming at this line OF policy,
anne1ing none of the islands TO herself,
and doing her utmost TO preserve the
peace of the Pacific; this is also certain
to be the policy OF all English pos
sessions in this part OF the world.

leader OF the Anglo-Saxon race, and will
diaplacs England from the position she
now holds. Many eyes in this part OF
the world are already turned towards
America as the power that is 30 likely TO
preserve the interests of the Angle
Saxon race in the pacific, without herself
annexing anything, or allowing Foreigners
to do 80. 1t is clear that tho center OF
power among tho Anglo-Saxon race is
shifting to America, as tho center of pop
ulation has already DONE 1t is, there
fore, clearly unwise Of England to neglect
her interests in such time of emergency.
The United States does not require a
standing army, and consequently the
whole revenue of tho people, as cireum-
stances may require, could be devoted
solely to the maintainanee Of a navy
which would make the Anglo-Saxon race
absolute masters of the world.

Another Whale Story to Match the
Experience of the Ed. G. ii. white.

The Port Admiral used to relate a
story which was told him years ago
by Andrew Kellar, of Port Gamble.
Kellar was fishing In canoe for dog
fish. near Smiths Island, and while
drifting along slowly, big school Of
killas came lazily by, putting and
blowing and occasionally making a
jump in the air and falling with n
great splash into the water. An
drew happened to have harpoon OIL
board, with plenty Of line attached,
and as one of the monsters camo rub
bing along the side of the canoe he
jammed the harpoon deep into his
back, just abaft the fin, The killa
started of at the rate OF forty miles
an hour, and in two hours and half
he was outside of Cape Flattery, hav-
ing run nearly hundred miles dur.
ing the time.
Il stood up in the canoe" said An
drew, "and we went so fast that the
water piled up on each side higher
than my head. Sodom take the tar
nal cuss." says 1, "where's he goin'
to, But he. kept Oh till we passed
the light, where he Stacked up bit
and l cut the line and got clear of
him. 1t took me two days and a
half TO paddle bnck again to Port
Townsend and then for the first time,
got mad. for every one 1 told the
story to said I was q blamed liar"
We think Andrew Kellar'. story true.
Ii a whale can pick up schooner's
anchor in his mouth and tow the
vessel fifty miles 10 sea, it must be
far easier for a killa to tow light
canoe, as Andrew says he was towed
The next member of the school of
whales may now recite his little
piece. Where's Capt. Dyer7 If he
don't match these yarns he will go to
the leeward of the story tellers.
