SAMOAN AFFAIRS.
The Old King Malietoa Untitled for the
Position OF Ruler,

The Old King MaIIetoa Untitled for the
Position or Ruler,
SAMOA, March 27.-There is no change
in the condition of things here to report.
War rumors still fill the air. and it is the
general belief that when the wet season
is over the rebels will take action. As
time advances, the poor old King, Malie-
toa, shows himself to be more and more
untitled for the position, but how to
solve the difficulty is hard to determine.
No effort has yet been made to collect the
obnoxious poll-tax, and until the Pow
ers bring sufficient intelligence 30 bear
upon the situation and substitute an in
creased ad valorem customs taxation,
which, as matter of course, would eff
fectualIy reach the natives, nothing in
the way of revenue for Government pur-
poses can be looked for.
The large German firm of Frings &
Spatz which recently gained such unen-
viable notoriety through importing arms
and ammunition for tho rebel natives
has been declared bankrupt, and their
books disclose shocking state OF affairs,
Some of the creditors talk OF iustituiing
criminal proceedings against the bank
rupts.
By the Alameda to-day Biermann, who
for some time has acted as Imperial Ger
man Consul here, leaves on his way to
Europe. He has not made many friends
during his tenure of office. and his de-
parture is viewed with satisfaction. His
place as Consul is taken by Herr Geiss-
len, who comes from the German pos
sessions in New Britain. Herr Schmidt
Lede, for some years Consul-General at
Yokohama, has taken the position OF
German Consul in Samoa.
The influenza has followed the late epi-
demic OF Dengue fever, which wrought
such havoc month or two ago, and sew
sral deaths have resulted.
An enterprising American here, NJ. w.
Wallwork, is building a steamer intended
for the interisland trade, which he ex-
poets to have completed in July or Au-
gust next. Every success is wished him,

These were my original views; these are
my views still.
(5l 1t should be added, in further ex-
PLANTATION, that the views originally held
by me, well as the modified views 1
now hold, are not, as is commonly sup
posed, at variance with the views held by
the landed classes in England, but, con-
trariwise, are views which they have
themselves publicly enunciated through
certain representative members of their
class. The Council Of the Liberty and
Property Defense League. on which sit
several Peers and Two Judges, said, in
their report for 1889. that the land can
OF course be resumed on payment of full
compensation, and managed by the peo-
pie II they so will it," Supreme owner
ship by the State is fully recognized, and
the only reason urged for maintaining
the existing system of landholding is the
badness OF the alternative system-ad-
ministration by public officials. They do
not, however, name the primary obstacle
to the proposed chaDge-the enormous
cost of equitable compensation bringing
to the community not gain but loss.
These are not matters of opinion, but
are matters of fact which anybody can
ascertain by referring to early editions of
Social States" and TO Justice" They
are there in print, not to be gainsaid or
argued away. ii. S.

BEHRING SEA QUESTION.
Reply to Senator Morgan Prepared b
Sir Julian Pauncefote.

Reply to Senator Morgan Prepared by
Sir Julian Pauncefote.
LONDON, April 10.-The Earl of Kim
berly probably will lay before the House
of Commons an elaborate reply to Sena-
tor Morgan's speech in the United States
on the Behring Sea question. The reply
was prepared by Sir Julian PauncefoIe.
An analysis of Senator Morgans state
ments shows them, it is stated, to be
erroneous in many particulars and un-
just IN the conclusions. The subject is
handled in the form Of a report from Sir
Julian as to the negotiations for paying
the claims of the masters Of Canadian
sealers seized in the Behring Sea. 1t
shows Senator Morgan erred in stating
that fictitious values had been put on
some of the vessels and cargoes seized.
1t is stated that Senator Morgan's state
ment Of the interest that was added is
erroneous, and that no interest was in
cluded. The total amount is declared to
De merely about half just and reason
aoIe allowance, and to have been agreed
To as compromise with the Canadian
masters.

FIVE ALLEGED CHINESE ROBBERS.
They Were Arrested in This City Last
Night
Charged With Robbing a San Francisco
Company-SI, ESQ Found in Their
Possession.

About II o'clock last night Chinaman
rushed into the Police Station and said
there were five Cinnamon on the Oregon
express train from San Francisco, who
had Robbed Chinese firm in that city of
a considerable sum of money and were
on their way to Portland.
Officer Douglas and Special Balsz i'm
mediAtely went to the depot, and there
found the Cinnamon in the custody of
Constable Alfred Spinks, who had been
informed that they were on the train.
When the Cinnamon were searched
largo sum of money was found on each of
them, aud the one who caused their ar
rest said they were part of a gang that
had robbed the firm of Gem zee Hong &
Co. of about 81 800.
1t is said there were three other China
men in the plot, and that they arrived
here some time yesterday and boarded
the overland train last night as it was
pulling out of the depot
The arrested Cinnamon here gave their
names as All Gock, All 10y, All Chem.
All Bong and Jung eang. Altogether
they had Sl,6S0 80, which sum was dis
tributed among them, as follows All
ock, S3oI; All 10y, S257 65; All Cheun,
S312; All Bong, $40, and Jung Yeaug,
Sjj4 Is.
y representative of the firm said to have
been robbed will arrive here on this
mornings train from San Francisco to
identify the men.
Possibly the tourists did rob the firm
named, but strangely enough the San
Francisco papers have had no mention
of the robbery. 1t may be the Chinamen
are wanted by their countrymen for
something else, and that the alleged rob-
bery was only a clever ruse to secure
their arrest and return to San Francisco
The fact, however, of their having so
much money among them is quite sip-
niticant, and gives color to the charge.
Men who travel by rail in these days of
frequent hold-ups would not be likely to
risk carrying so much money on their
persons unless they had some good rea-
son for not sending it in the usual way
through the banks or express company.

DIR. BUCHANNAN.

night 10 ask the Supreme Court of the
United States for stay of execution
pending motion for a new trial. Glib
bOns alleges the discovery of new evil

a stay OF execution upon that ground, it
is said, Gibbons will appeal for the inter-
veutiou of the British Minister upon the
ground that Buchanan is a British SUBJ
ject and has not had iair trial

Another hurricane, which has done
considerable damage, is reported from
FIJI.
The British warship Wallaroo is still
stationed here, and is expecting to be re-
lleved in May. The German ship Bussard
is shortly expected.
Now that the hurricane season in Sa-
moa may be look ed upon as passed, there
is every chance for a good years busi-
ness, if war can be averted It is sadly
needed, as everything is in a wofully
depressed condition.

Is now in Charleston, W. Va. 1t has
been in the family of Nathan Boone
Van Bibber. OF Nicholas county, in
that state. The stock and barrel are five
feet four inches long, 1t carries an ounce
ball, has the original old-fashioned
flint lock and is still good shooter.
The gun was given by Boone to his
friend, Matthias Tice Van Bibber.
Tice Van Bibber carried 1t and did
good execution at the battle of Point
Pleasant in 174. He carried ii on
hunting and trapping trips as far
West as the Usage river, and through
out the War of 1872
The original powder horns and bull
let molds are with the gun; also,
very old shot pouch, a pocket compass
with a sun-dial attachment and a steel
spear-pointed needle for fixing buff
faio hides to dry; also, taffy stick
and a part of his commission as a
captain In the war of 1872, and an old,
well-worn butcher knife which be-
1onged to Isaac Van Bibber, who was
killed at Point Pleasant When he
was found nine Indian scalps. raised
by the knife, were in the pouch. Tice
used the knife as long as he lived.
AT his death Matthias Van Bibber left
these relies to Captain G. r. Van Bib

years ago they were left to his son,
Nathan Boone Van Bibber, the pres
