signed by Representatives Sncdgrass

"We call attention TO the following
fatal defects OF the bill. While ostensi-

are aso transmitted though not spe-
| cificaIIy called for by the resolution,
as the secretary says they throw light
upon the situation in the Samoan Is
lands.
The correspondence is volumnious,
covering the period since 1889 and en-
| bracing between one hunderd and fifty
and two hundred documents.
Writing on December % last Dir. Null
| ligan says: 'Thecondition here con-
| tinues to be one of profound peace.
No outbreak of any kind has occurred
and no preparations for such an event
are diScernable notwithstanding there
| is a general belief that the prevailing
peace is to be but Of short duration.
Reports are in circulation that con-
, fiict has taken place and war actu-
ally inaugurated in LAVAL, but these
happily proved to be untrue. 1t is GER
tain that the native population gen
orally is in a state of unrest. As far as
/ understand the general disSatisfac-
ton among the rebelfiously inclined
is directed against Malietoa, not alone
through tribal local preiudices, but for
the present reason that he is mere

ton"
Further along in the same communi-
cation, he says: IF thenatives were
in part satisfied, if well disposed to
peace, it is plain in my opinion that
they would not be suffered to so con-
tinue. The interests and elements

Mr.. Mulligan'S last communication is
dated January 2 and in this he says
that there are no appearances of a re-
newal of the war, but repeats that little
confidence is felt in the permanence
of the existing peace. lie reports
Malietoa has issued an address to other
| chiefs inviting them to attend recon
Citation meeting but no response had
been made.
In the communication Of September
10, last, Judge Ide complains bitterly
of the forts Of the consulS to admniis-
ter the affairs Of the islands without
| consultation with the treaty officials,
but by prior determination to dictate
to the president and TO himself.
He closes thus: I'm the midst OF the
difficulties and changes of the situa-

spend our time in discussing theories
of the treaty and questions of abstract
right, but for all to join together to try
to accomplish something for this
