"To be introduced to you as a resi-

Mr.. Sutherland, "and confessing, as
am Obliged to that the State OF New
York is my place of birth, and the only
one in which I have resided, probably
some sort of apology is due to you for
my presence here, because there is one

long ago to the city of New York from
the State Of Nebraska with the asser-
ton that he was about TO make his ad-

from the enemy's country to ask you
to believe with me the principles TO

faces, | begin to doubt whether you ac-

there is no more attractive theme than

In local politics the latest style is a
third term for office-holders. A few per-

San Francisco, Jan. 16.-(Special Cor respondence of the United Press per steamer Mariposa, -Apia, Samo, Jan. 1.-The foreign residents of Apia are chafing under the restrictions imposed upon them by the Berlin treaty, and have memoralzed the consular represen- tatives of the three great powers, pro- l. testing against the impositionS heaped upon them by its provisions It is claim ed that 85 per cent of the revenue is con stunned in the payment of the salaries of useless officials; that the native Sa- moanS, while receiving material benefit from the tax fund collected from the for eigners, contribute nothing toward the support of the municipality, and that the municipal council as at present con- structed Is cumbersome and unnecessary The petitioners, among whom are the leading foreigners of all national1ties, strongly protest against the payment of taxes and duties until the local gov ernment is reorganized and the expenses of maintaining the same materially re- duced- Unless the concession demanded in the petition is granted the agitators threaten to take such measures as will reduce the sources of the revenue to such an extent that the present estimate can not be maintained.

Being Tried for Treason.

London, Jan. 16-On January 14 MT Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, sent a cablegram to Sir Hercules Robinson, governor of Cape Colony, asking for certain specific infor mation in regard to the members of the reform committee and other persons re- gently arrested at Johannesburg by the Boer authorities and taken to Pretoria for confinement pending their trial. In this message MT. Chamberlain expressed fears that wholesale arrests would dis organize the industries which are being carried on in the Rand territory, and asked Governor Robinson to ascertain and report what the persons arrested were accused of. when they would be tried for the offeDses of which they are charged, whether bail would be allowed in their cases pending and what would be the penalties prescribed by the laws of the TranSvaal government for the acts of which the prisoners were accused. etc.
 To this dispatch Governor Robinson replied by wire today that the arrested men were accused of treason and also seeking to subvert the government of the Transvaal. and that they would be tried by the high court of the South African republic, but that the date of their trial had not yet been fixed. Governor Rob inson said that the government of the Transve3l iepublic seemed to be acting within their legal rights. and added that upon leaving Pretoria to return to Cape Town he urged President Kruger to ob- serve moderation toward the accused men in order that he and his government might not alienate the sympathy which they now enjoy.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Mr. Balfour'S Speech Strs Up the Venezuela Dispute Again in the English
 Papers

London, Jan. 16zIn an article com menting upon the speech made at Man chester last night by Mir A. J. Balfour first lord of the treasury the St. James Gazette this afternoon says:
 MT Balfour does not give encourage ment to the diplomatic amateurs who are trying to get the Americans to believe that we are wrong and will end by knuckling down.
 Those who have been led to believe that the Marquis of Salisbury intends to apply to Washington, asking 1t to be good enough to arbitrate or concliate, are much mistaken, and we sincerely hope they have not been able to lead Ameri- can opinion to share their error
 There is an increasing disposition both in London and Washington to be- lieve that the dispute cannot be ar ranged by negotiations between the only genuine parties thereto, Great Britain and Venezuela We have no quarrel with old Monroeism but if the senate in Sists upon setting up a new MonroeiSm which will render the United States ab- solute arbiter of the affairs of the conti- nent of which one third belongs to Great Britain, we certainly cannot avert the consequences by yielding. The issue, peace or war, lies with the Americans.
 The same view of the matter is taken by the Globe, which is skeptical as to the formation of a court of arbitration whose decisions would be sure to command equal respect on both sides.
 "To this day." adds the Globe. "the Americans have not carried out the Beh- ring sea award and the arbitrators have no means of enforcing it."

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
Donne,ly and eirard,s Fun Making.

It goes without saying that Dollelly and Girard, with ''The Rainmakers.' kept their audience in a continual strain of laughter last evening. It was damp and dismal outsde-a night that needed mer- riment to drive away not only dry, dull care, but dripping, moping melancholy. The jolly, agile funmakers did their work most effectually with the clever assist ance of other versatile talents of good looking young men and women. The Rainmakers'' has no plot, in fact needs none. But it is full of life and fun, novel, ty and newness, pretty girls and clever actors. It is well staged and prettily cos tuned. A few of therfeatures are abso- lutely new, the storm scene and the cleo tric light song and dance being particu- larly noticeable in this respect.
