Washington, Aug. 3O.-The State De.
partment has not yet been officially ad.
vised Of the reported death Of King
MalletOa OF Samoa, and IN nll likelihood
must remain In official ignorance of the
event for some time to come, owing tc
the slow means OF communication al

1t is the general impression there tina,
the death OF the king will result In the
overthrow Of the present form of gov.
ernment of the islands. maintained as
1t is by the joint action Of the United
States, Great Britain and Germany
Official reports to the State Depart.
ment show that this government is the
most expensive and unsatisfactory OF
any In the world, having regard to the
population Of the Samoan group. lu
the capital city. Apia, there is main
tained triparte municipal government,
at vas. proportionate expense. while
the reports show that thirty-two rate
payers are obliged 10 bear the entlr.
cost.
For some years back the existing ar.
rnngement for the government OF the
Samoan group has been satisfactory
to none OF the three governments, yet
II has been continued for the reason
that none better could be suggested
that would be acceptable to the nations.
There are now indications that at leas,
one OF the parties is coming around &c
what was n favorite plan OF settlement

ruption OF the present trlpart!te gov

One of the most interesting features
of our export trade during 1897, noted
in the report on foreign trade by the de-
partment of agriculture. is the remark
able increase that took place in the
quantity of Indian corn disposed of
abroad, the total shipments of the year
aggregating as high as 176, 916, 365
bushels, and thus surprising by wide
margin all previous records. The ex-
ports of the year preceding, although
reaching the exceptionally high aggre-
gate of 80, 992, $50 bushels, were exceed
ed in 1897 by more than 5000, 900
bushels. 1t is also noted that the ship
ments of corn during the past year,
while less in value, were in quantity
more than twice as large as the exports
of wheat and also much larger than
those of wheat and wheat flour combin-
ed. The value of the corn sent to for
eign markets in 1897 was $54, 087, 152
as against $37, $50, 500 in 1896. In the
two years mentioned the average export
price per bushel declined from 1913
cents to 500 cents.

The main consideration to be kept in
mind in New York, as recommended by
the agricultural station of that state. in
respect to time of planting sugar beets,
is to allow sufficient time for complete
maturing. Taking seasons as they aver
age, the planting can usually be done in
May. In planting later than June l,
much risk is incurred in reference to
the proper ripening of the crop. Before
harvesting the beets should ripen COM
pletely, since immature beets contain
less sugar than the ripe ones. At ma
turity the leaves turn yellowish green
and the outer ones bend down about the
beet. 1t requires about $50 days for
crop to develop its highest sugar con-
tent, varying, Of course, with the char
aoter of the season. Harvesting must
take place before the second growth
commences, since this decreases the
amount of sugar.

FINANCIERs EXPECT WAR.

London, March 24.-The imm inence of
the Cuban crisis has aroused financiers to
make efforts to avsrt war. A movement
to this end is on foot in Lombard treet
and American bankers, who are leading
it, are supposd to have the sympathy and
perhaps cooperation Of the Rothschilds.
The American banks tell the diplomats
that if the United States demands an in
demnity and Spain is willing to pay, the
financiers will gladly furnish the funds
The best informed diplomats do not be-
lieve the Spanish Cabinet or dynasty dare
to risk the wrath Of the pop ulace which
would inevitably follow acquiescence
with the demand of the United States for
reparation for the loss of the Maine
Prominent financiers are calling upon
Ambassador Hay, seeking inside informa-
tion regarding the political situation and
the Ambassador replies that he has not
peen informed as to the contents of the
report Of the United States naval court of
inquiry.
Financiers are also seeking to bring
pressure upon Washington through
American diplomats.

financial houses in London generally

there will be war.

to make it public. They say that it will

The crowd of yesterday was as nothing
of peoplessurged through the upper corri-

early, but vainly appealing to the door
keepers at the various gallery entrances
for admission. Es1s
The crowd had been attracted particu-
larly by the announcement thats Mr..
Thurston OF Nebraska, was to address the
Senate upon Cuba, basing his utterances
upon his recent trip to the island-a trip
that had brought to him the deepest
bereavement that can come to man.
1t vas expected that the address would
be notable oratorical effort as we'll as
a thorough discussion of the political
phases of the pending controversy.
In the diplomatic gallery were Senior
Mendonca, the Brazilian minister, ac-
companied by party, and several ladies
and gentlemen from other legations.

their seats and here and there about the
chamber was member of the House of
