a Statement of Germany's Ideas
Regarding Samoa.
BERLIN. October 5.-Prince Hohen-
lohe, it is alleged, has already thrice
rendered his resignation as Chancel-
lor, but has been induced to withdraw
1t because no suitable successor could
be found among Prussians of princely
rank and because DR.. Won MIGUEL is
reluctant to- assume such a thorny
legacy. The latter has used all his in
fiuence to persuade Prince Hohenlohe
to retain office.
The Koelinische Zeitung in a freaky
article explaining the motives under
lying the naval plans of Emperor Will
liam does not scruple to assert that "in
the case of Samoa, Germany more than
once has had every reason to establish
law and order by force of arms, but has
refrained and still does not think of
attempting anything of the kind, be-
cause the English and Americans
have finger in the pie
The Koelinische Zeitung, however.
adds: The alarming defenseless state
of the German coasts, to say nothing
of German interests all over the world
shows the necessity for a strong navy.

cuments will reach Hawaii about the
7th October. But whether the Hawai-
ian Government will accept the points
indicated and sign the treaty is not
clear No fresh information has been
brought by the Naniwa just returned
from Hawaii but from what some of
her officers have said it seems that it
is not difficult to foretell the future
of the affair. We are told that Hawaii
is endeavoring to postpone the settle
ment of the trouble as long as possible
and it will take some time before the
arbitration treaty is signed. The Ha-
Waiian Government seeing that the
session of the u. S. Senate will be in
December next to discuss the ratifica-
ton of the Annexation Treaty intends
to put off the emigrant affairs until
that treaty is ratified by the Z. S. Sen
ate. Because in that case the negoti-
ations of the trouble at issue may be
transferred to the United States. This
appears to be her only policy for she
loses nothing by postponing the settle
ment of the trouble. Japan can not
appeal to force though Hawaii acts in
that way and therefore procrastination
is the natural outcome. This is why
it is difficult tn deal with a weak coun-
try.-Mainichi

Modern methods in at least one line
of business have struck n blitherirc
swine at the sidewalk merchant who pa

cause everyone who patronizes lat
