THo OF sAMoA,s BIG MEN.
King Mniietos and Hts Rival, Mstanfa,
whom He Has Now ynnqui.hed.

After two years Of turbulence. but not OF
very active warfare. Malietoa the King Of
Samoa has conquered Mataafa. the claimant
to the throne. The handsome. white-haired
old man, his fortunes now Mt low ebb, is a pris-
oner on a British man-of-war.
Samoa Ia only cluster OF little Pacific
islands, but 1t Is capable Of producing great
men. Malietoa is n remarkable parsonage.
but no one calls him great man. No edu-
Gated white man. however. ever conversed
with or came to know the Kings rival. Ma
taafa. but was impressed with his talents and
fascinated by his personality.
Robert Louis Stevenson describes Mataafa
as "A tall and powerful person. GO years
OF ago. white haired, and with white
moustache. his eyes bright and quiet, his jaw
perceptibly UNDERLYING. which gives him some
thing OF the expression OF benevolent mas
tin; his manners dignined and a thought
insnuntng. with an air OF n Catholic preate.
Long since no made vow OF chastity to live
as our Lord lived on this earth. and Polyne-
SLAMS report that he has kent it,"
An American writer SAYS of Mntaafa:
IF his air OF dignity and self possession
inspires respect. the warmth of the expression
OF his face ms pres love. From his eyes there
beams a light almost spiritual. like the radi-
ance from the eyes OF holy and consecratcd
women. His voice is soft. and his dlction
deliberate in the extreme. as is the case with
Polynesiars of the highest rank. or language
he is master. Oratory in samoa ia n function
exercised by another class of chiefs. But in
his political addresses Mataafa is really an
orator. eloquent. masterful. and. when noces-
sary. caustlc in criticism and rldicule.'

KING MALIETOA.

During the troubous times. several years
ago. when the Germans seized Maietoa
and carried linn Off to suffer In exile at the
Cameroons. and afterward at the Marshall
Islands. Mataafn assumed the royal functions
as was his right; and while King he defeated a
party from a German war ship. and they have
never forg iven him: The Government would
probably have made mince meat Of him and
his adherents IL Uncle sam and England had
not interviewed. This led to the tripartts
agreement between the three powers as to
their relations with Samoa and its control
Malietoa was taken homo. and Mataafa grace
fully relinQuished the throne to him.
But MataafR had bad advisers. After some
years he yielded to the solicitations OF his
friends and sought to regain he throne on the
ground that he was the real choice Of the
Samoan people: and he probably was the
cho ce OF the majority whom his revolt began.
He has now been hopelessly defeated and will
n more ruflie the POLITICAL atmosphere.
The King. Malietoa. has not the royal dig
nifty and the masterful qualities that distin-
guish Mataafa: hut he Is known for his pa
triotism. for his high sense Of honor. and for
the sweetness OF his nature. Here Is an incl
dent that shows tho man:
In his troubles with the Germans he found
that unless he gave himself up the enemy
would attack his villages and doubtless kill
many Of his people. One Sunday afternoon he
came out Of his retreat. as he had written he
would. went to the house of the Ger
man Consul and walked down tho beach,
road with him to the wharf. The peo-
pie crowded round him. kissing his hand.
imploring him not to give himself up. II he
had raised his hand there were enough armed

the southeast corner Is the site OF that wonder
spot of old New York. the late 2. T. Barnum's

see that part of Broadway on which the old

and carrying it to the other end OF the
