A Reclamation Called For.

The sergeant-at-arms of the Senate has
called for the resignation of L. T. Fell. jr..
of New Jersey, the assistant postmaster of
the Senate, and 1t has been presented and
accepted. Mr.. Fell has been in the office
about a year and a half, but has been I'M
able to attend to the duties properly.
He has been in rather bad health, and
has consequently neglected the duties of
the position to a point where it was neces-
sary to put somebody in his place. The po-
stion pays S2,oSS year. 1t is understood
that the steering committee of the Senate
which has general control of patronage, Is
today considering the matter of the ap-
po:ntment of Mr.. Felrs successor. He
vas appointed by Mr.. Smith of New Jer-
sey, and II is probable that the vacancy
will be filled by nomination by that Sena-
ter. Meanwhile the duties of the office are
being performed by Riding Page Nelson.

MIR. SAUNDERS RESIGNS.
Sewers His Connection With Two
Business Concerns.


Banking circles were considerably sur
prised yesterday afternoon by the an
nouncernent in The Star that Mr.. L. NJ.
Saunders had resigned the vice presidency
Of the Ohio National Bank, and the treas
urership of the National Building and Loan
Association. Mr.. Saunders was on the
board of directors of both institutions Also
and there he has likewise resigned. Mr..
Saunders in speaking of the matter today,
said that his reasons for resgning We're
solely personal, and were due TO his desire
to engage in private banking in this city.
The officials of the Ohio National Bank
and of the Washir gton National Building
and Loan Association were not very will
two institutions are closely related, al
though there is no functional connection
between them. Mr.. ]. D. Taylor being the
president CT both, and several gentlemen
are directors in the two. Although but
little definite would be said about MI
Saunders resignation it is the general opin-
ion that it is the result of some little fric-
ton in the internal workings of the two
organizations.
It is not known who will succeed Mr..
Saunders in his dual position. 1t is the
desire of some OF the members of the
building association that the position of
the treasurer should be filled not by an
individual, but by some bank as this would
not only lend strength, but would also be a
saving of money. If this is done the Ohio
National will be selected for the purpose.
The move meets with some opposition,
however and the whole matter win come
up for consideration at meeting to be
held this evening.

New Zealand's Premier Discusses
Samoa's Future.
WILLING TO GOVERN THE ISLANDS
America Said to Be Indifferent and
Germans Unopposing.
FRIENDLY TO THE POWERS

WELLINGTON. New Zealand, January
n-The premier. Mr.. r. J. Seldom. today
in a speech in regard to Samoa said that
New Zealand's offer to administer the af-
fairs of Samoa unitedly was approved by
the Australasian colonies. The offer, he
added, was made in a friendly spirit to all
the powers concerned. 1t was made with
the knowledge of the United States, which
country. the speaker claimed, was indif-
ferent, and with the knowledge of the Ger
mans. who had not advanced the colonial
ton OF Samoa. In fact. their interest was
growing less every year.
The Germans of Australasia, the rrc-
mier insisted. were not averse to and did
not consider the administration of Samoa
by New Zealand to be detrimental to the
interests of the fs therland.
Continuing. the premier said that the
action of two OF the greatest European
powers in using men of-war TO settle
trunpery disputes between a handful or
natives was a blot on cur bCasted civiiizd-
ton. II reflected upon the traditions OF
our race TO find ranges for gun practice On
Lnoffendirg Savages, where handful OF
policemen ashore could have stopped the
fighting"

Cotton Market.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, January 1.-THE foreign
market did not decline as rapidly as was
anticipated yesterday, and the opening of
our market reflected a slightly oversoid
condition. Reports of large receipts at
several large seaboard towns resulted in
an almost immediate loss of the early i'm
provement. The feeling of the trade is still
decidedly blue on the prospects for I'M
provement, and predict decline in rates
as the result of increased receipts
There is a slight increase in the demand
for home consumption, but coming, as it
does from the smaller mills, the effect is
rot as yet perceptible. These mills con-
sumo a large quantity Of cotton in the ag-
sregate but, as rule, they are not
large buyers. preferrins to purchase only
