THE TROUBLES ~ SAMOA.

AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE THREE
TREATY POWERS DIFFICULT TO REACH
Washington oct. 25-The state Department
IS without late official adyices from Samoa re-
suecting the existence Of fresh troubles among
the natives Of the islands, but it IS believed that
these latest reported occurrences are not really
threatening in character. It Is probable. how
ever. that some important change Will be
brought about FOR it is admitted that the three
treaty Powers are now about convinced that the
present arrangement is Incapable of afordins a
safe basis for the government Of the islands.
The difficulty is that negotiations up to this
time have produced no satisfactory plan To re-
rlace this arrangement. The United states has
an accurate idea Of what it wants. and il is be-
usvod that these wants are not obnoxious either
10 Germany or Great Britain. The cnlet nlI-
aculty therefore, in effecting a generally salts
factory arrangement is now experienced III get
ting Great Britain and Germany to agree bee
tween themselves. The indications are that such
an agreement is not within sight. and that the
three governments must content themselves Tor

A BILLION IN. GOLD.
Director Roberts Says the United States
Has the Largest Stock Of Yellow
Metal In the World.

Washington. June 13.-Uncle Sam
has sent s5,5OO.OOO in gold to Europe
during the last ten days. During the
same period 500. 900 came from France
and similar amount from Australia,
making the net export 81, OOO' 600. This
movement has started fnanciers to
specializing and prophesying, but re-
ally 81, 900, 900 is hardly more than peck
ct money for Uncle sam. The govern
ment officials who keep tab on his
finances say this is naturally the sea-
son for sending yellow metal to Eu-
rope to settle for sugar, silks wines
and thousand other good things
Uncle Sans nephews and nieces
have enjoyed during the preced-
ing year. The serenity OF Wash
ington officials is based on some
thing more substantial than phi
losophy born Of presidents. They
find that the United States has the
largest stock OF gold in the world.
They figure the supply of coin and
bullion ut round $1,000, 900, 600. and
say this is the first nation to reach
such lofty pinnacle of wealth. George
L. Roberts, director of the minis, re-
ports that on June ! the gold coin in
the United States amounted to sS63,-
al, 252, while the bullion in the ma
tional treasures aggregated sl.l, 49,
1852. This makes a total of S0S5, 4S4, 6O4,
and Mr.. Roberts says there was un-
doubtedly enough bullion in pirate
hands to bring the grand aggregate
above $1,000 900. 900. Compare this
with the stock of Sl35, 900, 900 in 1873,
$685., 600, 900 in 1880, $685.. 900, 900 in 1890,

KANSAS CORN AND WHEAT.
State Board Of Agriculture Issues Bulle-
tin Showing Latest Condition OF the
States Two Principal Products.

Topeka, Kan, June 0-The state
board of agriculture issued bulletin
on crop conditions in Kansas June 8,
based on reports from its correspond
ents in every neighborhood, special at
tention having been given to ascertain
ing the condition of the growing
winter wheat OF the total acreage
sown the estimate April 10 was
that 96 per cent. was so injured
by the unfavorable winter and
spring as to be a failure; continuation
of the same causes results in an esti-
mate now that 80 per cent. of the wheat
ground has been given over to other
crops, or left to the weeds. The condi-
ton of the then remaining "a per cent.
of acreage was rated at IS; the condi-
ton of the 81 per cent. now standing
shows a condition of So, or 10 points
less.
In most Of the properly corn terri
tory, or the eastern three-ffths of the
state, the situation and prospects are
very encouraging and an increased
acreage is reported. About the. only
present drawback is surplus Of
moisture, leaving water standing
in the deep-listcd burrows, or re-
tarding urgently needed cultivation
and aiding the weeds in most agrees
sive growth. The condition for the
entire state is slightly above 90, being
II points higher than at the same date
one year ago, and five higher than at
this time two years ago.
