Senator'S Know Nothing.

Senate committee on foreign relations OF

Senator Davis says that IL may be the
policy OF this administration TO surrender
our rights in Samoa, but the American peO-
pie have a trade interest in the islands. 1T
Is conceded, said he, that We should have

another? Samoa is the direct line with

1t is said at the State Department to Be
