Planixphere of the Heavens.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In an issue Of your valuable paper some
months ago l called attention to the great
satisfaction derived from reading the as
Economical articles and studying the plani-
spheres of the heavens you publish the hrst
Saturday of every month.
l have placed those articles, with their re-
spectiva maps, in five-cent blank book.
The collection for year is most valuable
volume, and affords a ready guide for intel
hgent star gazing. L have taken pains to
call attention of friends to these valuable
contributions to popular science, and urged
them to make their own books as l have in
dicated If this advice were generally heed
ed by the thousands of readers of The Star
am Certain their attention would be called
away from earth and earth scenes, and
they would, i doubt not, be greatly bene-
fitted in every rational way.
l would like TO suggest further that your
astronomical writer also prepare articles
and sketches representing the heavens at
say about o'clock In the morning At this
season of the year the heavens present at
that hour, some interesting stars and con-
stellations. They will richly repay study,
and your contributor and The Star will rem
der a valuable service to the interesting
study of the starry heavens.

DIVIDING THE SAMOANS
Indications Favoring the Adoption of the
American Plan.
Proposed ParceIinE Out of the Is
lands Among United States, Great
Britain and Germany.

The State Department has not yet been
officially advised of the reported death of
King Malietoa of Samoa, and must in all
likelihood, remain in official ignorance of
the event for some time to come, owing to
the slow means of communication at the
disposal of the department. 1t is the gen.
eral impression that the death of the king
will result in the overthrow of the present
form of government of the islands, main
tanned by the joint action of the United
States, Great Britain and Germany The
official reports made to the State Depart
ment reveal the fact that this government
is the most expensive and unsatisfactory
of any in the world, having regard to the
population of the Samoan group. In the
capital city, Apia, there is maintained q
tripartite municipal government at vast pro-
poruonate expense; yet the reports show
that only ~ rate payers are obliged to bear
the entire cost. For some years back the
existing arrangement, between the
United States, Great Britain and Germany
for the government of the Samoan group
has been satisfactory to neither party, yet
1t has been continued for the reason that
nothing better could be suggest ed that
would be acceptable to the three nations.
The American Plan.
Now there are indications that at least
one of the parties is coming around to
the State Department, namely a disruption
of the present tripartite government and
an absolute division of the islands of the
group between the United States Great
Britain and Germany. The principal object
of this government has been to retain pos
session of a coaling station, or even better
a full naval station in the islands, so as TO
afford base for naval operations in the
vicinity of Australasia, as well as to in
sure an open port for our merchant steam
ers on the long voyage from San Francisco
to Australia. The United States now holds
title to some ground for coal station at
Page Pago, on the Island of Tuitwila This
island is the smallest of the group but is
large enough to support a naval station
SO that it has been the desire of the State
department to acquire it as a whole in the
event of the dissolution of the tripartite
agreement.
The Division.
Basing the division on the existing inter-
ests of the three nations, Germany, hold
ing the largest interest, would take the
island second in size, possessing the capital.
Apia, while Great Britain would receive
the largest of the group, but the second in
commercial Importance.
1t is probable that among the first duties
falling to Mr.. Hay when he assumes the
office of Secretary of State will be the con-
of some plan to tide over the
crisis which is expected to follow the death
of the king.

the prompt suppression of the general dis
