when they were escorted to a grand
stand on Broad street at the north
front of the capitol, where a parade of
about 1900 school children passed. each

in which he made peaceful overtures, re
minded his majesty of bygone occurrences
and suggested that huge and general
meeting Of Samoans should be held
to choose a monarch, He sug-
gested various villages as suitable
places to hold the meeting, and repeatedly
appealed to the king mot to be angry'
with him. Opinions differ as to the
chances of the opposing parties, and un-
der existing circumstances it is simply
impossible to obtain reliable information
as to their relative numbers and compar-
ative strength. Feeling already runs
pretty high. There have been fights and
