AFFAIRS AT SAMOA.
Interview With Robert Louis
Stevenson, the Novelist.

Amongst the passengers who arrived
here this aftei noon from Samoa by the
Oceanic Steamship Company's mail
steamer Mariposa (from San Francisco
via the Navigator Islands), was Mr.. r.
L. Stevenson, the distinguished novel
list. Mr.. Stevenson is accompanied by
his wife. When interviewed by Star
representative this Of ernoon, Mr..
Stevenson looked pale and rather III, and
his health did not appear to have very
greatly benefited by his sojourn in
Samoa. He has now made home near
Apia, and has quite settled down as
Samoan resident. Mr.. Stevenson does
not land at Auckland, but is bound for
Sydney on business. He Will remain in
Sydney for a short stay with his wife,
and will then return to Samoa. Things
in Samoa just now," he said, care about
as bad as they can be. There is no
money in the Treasury and not single
salary has been paid for the last four
months, either to the Municipal
Magistrate-to the native police or the
Custom officers; IN fact, the only men
who have got their salaries have been the
two officials appointed by the Powers. A
radical change OF some sort or other is
| needed in Samoa"
Mr.. Stevenson was asked, care you, az
a resident OF Samoa, in favor of the an
nexati6n of those islands by any one o
the three Powers now interested in the
country"
Mr.. Stevenson replied that he did no
know exactly in what light his answe
would be looked on in some quarters
"but," he went on to say, 81 can tell yoI
that every day deepens my conviction
that annexation will be the best thin
that could happen to Samoa. won't sa
what Power should, in my opinion, anne,
it, but l am certain that annexation
the only cure for the present state c
things down there"
1t may be added in connection with tn
state of affairs in Samoa that Mr.. Steven
son considers that the charges made b
him against the officials at Apia, ar
directly supported in every particular b

Letters from Butaritari say that
the Morning Star reached Butari-

tart had been given up. Rev. J.

P. Mahikila was taken to Maiana,
and Rev. d. Kaai to Apaiang. Rev.
Mr.. Channon was making a tour
of the Gilbert Islands Group. The
Star left Butaritari Nov. 80, for the
southern part of the group. Dec.
Is, Rev A. G. Walkup arrived on

Just at the present time there is
in circulation a rather interesting

II respectfully decline, Your

The tone Of the young man rather
startled the Justice, and the remark
al once attracted the attention OF
the prisoner, counsel and spectators,
as well as the Court itself.
Recovering somewhat from his sur
prise the Justice asked, Are you an

"Ah, / see" remarked the Justice,
"You object to it on the score Of

Such a remark, the story goes, was
what the young man was waiting
for.
