NO PROPOSAL MADE
For Any Partition Of the Samoan
Islands

LONDON, Aug. 29.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Times, referring to the re-
port that Germany had entered into nego-
tiations with the United States for the par
tition of the Samoan islands, says that the
semi-offelal Marine Politische Correspon-
denz observes:
So far as we ore aware, no such proposal
has been made to Washington by the Ger
man government. Proposals to that effect
have been made in the German press, but
nowhere else. to our knowledge.
The assertion that were Germany to come
into soereign possession OF Upolu, that
the United States would be shut out from
the harbor of Apia. is absolutely absurd
and this applies equally to any other nation
nation having a harbor on that island

Edges defeat the San Francisco Athletics

DEVOTED TO USE OF THE ARMY
Old Federal Building to he RemOd-
eled for Headquarters Depart-
ment of the Missouri.

Plans for the changes that are to be made
in the old government building have been
prepared and are now In the hands Of the
Quartermaster at army headquarters. The
intention Is 10 convert the building into a
structure that will be used exclusively by
the officers OF the Department Of the Mis-
souri,, and the intention Is to have 1t ready
for occupancy early next summer The
plans will be sent on to Washington for &C.
ceptance, and as soon as money Is appro-
priated the work OF remodelling the build
ing will begin.
In changing the building from a postofice
to army headquarters most Of the work will
be done on the irst floor. Here a corridor
will run from the east to the west entrance.
Heavy walls will be built along the sides
Of these corridors and the rooms on either
side will be divided into Offices. The floors
will be taken up and relaid and those in
the corridors will be Of marble. In the
north end of the building there will be an
elevator running from the frst to the upper
floor. The old heating plant will be dis
carded and q new one installed.
On the floors above the first little will be
done, aside from changing some partitions
In order to rearrange the rooms. The large
court room will be retained In its present
condition. as such a room is required In
which to hold the courts-martial and other
meetings that are frequently found neces-
sary.
1t Is estimated that 1t will require be-
tween $35. 900 and $40. 900 to make the neces-
sary changes in the old government build
ing, and then in addition to this there will
be the expense Of new furniture throughout,
which will be nearly as much more.
