Mr.. SEW1RD on SAUOi.

Mr.. Seward gives in another column some
"reminiscences OF the Samoan Embassy ana the
cession Of the harbOr Of Pago-Pago to the
United States. II IS simple and h0norablc
story Of automatic negotiation and highlnindcd
National policy under the Hayes Admlnlstra-
,ion The islanders dreaded the encrOachments
and intrfgucs Of the British and German Gov
ornments: they preferred 10 deal with the
Tinted States as Il just, liberal and unscltish
Power. and they were ready TO accept pro
tcctorotc or TO cede their best harbOr for the
sake OF promoting the establishment OF closer
noliticaI and commercial relations. The fate
~ the islands was in the hands Of the Wash
inoton Government, but no unfair advantage
was taken OF the situation. A protectorate was
moi established The Samoans coded their finest
harbor and asked nothing in return, rs Mr..
Seward SAYS. except the mutual goodwill that
might reasonably be expected TO follow such n
transaction"
A slender return have the Samoans received
for their confidence in the generosity and good
faith of the United States. The harbor has
never been occupied as a coaling station, and
the lands bordering upon 1t are plastered over
with German titles The good offices and friend
ship Of the Washington Government were OF
no avail in depressing German aggression and
! in averting the horrors Of civil war The time
I came at last when American Intervention
seemed 10 be worth something, when the Har-
rison Administration forced upon the Berlin
j Conference policy of justice and native rights
The trpartite protectorate was policy OF in
ternatonal equity which guaranteed the local
independence of the Islands. But Secretary OF
State Is now in power who does not care about
! the rights of the Samoans or the moral obliga
tons assumed by the United States 70 protect
them against European intrigue and aggression
He takes the closest and most ignoble utli
tartan views of foreign relations. He wishes
| to scuttle out Of Samoa, and TO repudlate ex
listing obligations on the ground that the islands

Tho sea trial Of the cruiser Columbia was Il
highly satisfactory performance. The engines
and boilers as well as the three screws. were
subjected 10 most severe tests and bore them
we'll. Under natural draught speed of 1917
knots was developed. and but for hot bearing
II is believed that this would have been exceed
ed. Such n trial affords far more adequate
test of a naval vessel than the spurts OF speed
under artificial conditions made in order TO Sc
cure handsome premiums for contractors.
The earnest and intelligent interest evinccd
by the Chamber Of Commerce in public affairs
has often won tie applause and admiration Of
the citizens of New-York Its members are not
content with advocating wise measures and op-
posing foolish ones. but when occasion de-
mands they are ready TO open their purses in
hlrtherance of n good cause Promptly follow
ing Governor Flowers veto OF the $4,000 bill. q
committee of the Chamber has proposed IA sub
scription by which the money needful for the
legislative investigation now in progress may
be advanced. with the expectation that the sub
scribers will be reimbursed by the next Lcgls-
Iafnre. The committee consists Of Messrs. orr,
Smith. Babcock, Sloane. Cannon and SchwaD.
As the money raised Is to be disbursed undcr
their supervision all interested may rest as
sured that 1t will be used wisely and properly.
Mayor Gilroy IL apparently much displeased
with Governor Flowers action In signing the
Rapid Transit bill. which he denounccs as an
Infamous measure. In connection with his
ebullItion Of Indignation II is interesting TO re
call that at the hearing on New-York City meas
ures given by the Governor on May 1t was
announced by the Tammany spokesman that
the city authorities would make no opposition
10 this bill; and In point Of fact the only oppo
sition came from few property-owners. Did
Tammany feel so sure at that time Mr.. Flower
would not sign the measure that 1t did moi
think II worth while to ask him to withhold
