The Senators and Samoa.

WASHINGTON, February 6.-An executive
session of the Senate was held this after
noon, on motion of Senator Sherman, who
desired to close the record upon the ratfica-
tlon of the Samoan treaty. After sundry
nominations were disposed of, a motion by
Senator Edmunds to reconsider the vote Of
Tuesday, by which the treaty was ratified,
was laid ON the table, 80 to 13. The Ed
munds resolution, declaring the sense of the
Senate upon the rights of the United States
to the harbor of Pago Pago, under the treaty
OF 1878, to be that those rights were not dis
turDed by the Berlin treaty of 1889, was con.
sidered. Senator Sherman, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, made
statement intende>. to show that the Berlin
treaty did not affect those rights at all, and
the passage of the resolution was unneces
sary. A motion to lay the resolution upon
the table prevailed, 80 to 13. Th-reupon,
Mr.. Edmunds, who is the second member of
the committee, stated that he desired to be
excused from further service on the commit
tee on foreign relations, and suggested that
this was a matter for action in legislative
session. The matter was dropped.

"Ify Dear Sir.
The President Is ready to make a change in the
collectors hip at Boston, but we would be glad to do
so In the way that will be most agreeable to you"
Mr.. Saltonstall replied to the effect that if
removed by the President, he saw no reason
why he should not serve out his term of
office and could not stultify himself by any
action which would imply dereliction on his
part.
