AS TO SAMOA.

There is no good reason why the Samoan
question should be raised at this time, but
as the semi %.oficinl press Of Germany insists
upon raising it, a word in pas, ing may not
be amiss.
The "Vossische Zeitung" Of Berlin, q
paper reputed to enjoy some official inspira-
ton, declares that the United States has
practically no rights in Samoa, and that
henceforth German Influence in those islands
must ontrank that Of this country.
just about twenty years ag| tile United
States entered into treaty relations with
Samoa, recognizing that kingdom as an
independent and sovereign Power. Twelve
years ago Mr.. Bayarl, the United States
Secretary Of State, reported that Germany
hid repeatedly di>claimed any intention
"to interfere with these relations in any
''wny." Nine years ago q conference was
held at Berlin Ivy representatives of Great
Britain, Germany and The United States. at
which Samoa was declared independent and
neutral.
We are inclined to think that the sober
sense of the German Emperor will hold that
treaty rights of n friendly Power are not

diplomatic agreements ore binding, even
above thc demands of the semi official press.
