KAUTZ'S ACTS UPHELD
Expected He Will Continue TRYING to
Restore Peace.
COMMISSIONERS DELAYED.
Not Thought They VIII Bc Likely I"
Catch Next Steamer For Sa-
mOa - Germany Wants
Them to Hurry.

Washington, April II. - Admiral
Kautz's actions in Samoa, as far as
they are set out in the official dispatches
and the newspaper reports, are fully
approved. He was instructed by the
last mail steamer from Auckland to
avoid needless collisions, but to protect
property and life until the three treaty
powers decided how to deal with the sit
uation.
No further instructions have yet been
sent to him, and if any go forward by
cable within the next "a hours, which
is the limit Of time available if the out
going steamer is to be caught at Auck-
land, they will be simply a repetition OF
the original orders.
Only Defending Foreigners.
Department officials point out that
from the accounts SO far received the
admiral appears to have acted in con-
junction with the British forces only in
pursuance of the policy of defense of
foreign interests.
1t is expected that he will not abate
his efforts to secure the restoration of
peace and it is probable that when the
high commission arrives at Apia it
will find its work facilitated through
the suppression Of the rebellion.

STATEMENT FROM BERLIN.
Germany Wants Commissioners to
Leave For Samoa at Once.

Berlin, April 1.-THE United States
embassy has given out the following
statement:
| 1--WE have received from the foreign
office an account of the latest conflict
in Samoa. The German government eX-
pressed sympa thy and took occasion to
urge the adoption of the unanmity rule
| in the findings of the Samoan commits
sion in order that the German commits
sioner Baron Speck Won Sternburg,
| might sail for Samoa at the earliest
moment possible. The German govern
ment urged that only the early arrival
of the commission will prevent further
serious hoodshed. Baron Won Bulow
informs the American ambassador that
Great Britain has at last agreed to the
unanimity rule. the United States also
agreeing. and that the commission can
probably proceed to the islands without
delay
The German press gives the news
calmly and mostly without comment.
The Cologne Gazette remarks:
eve need not say that If the guilt of
the manager Of the German plantation
Is proved Germany will approve of his
arrest and demand his punishment
We will not defend the behavior of
German abroad merely because he is
German
The Cologne Gazette also admits that
Dr.. Raffel. the German president of the
council of Apia. acted illegal
ly in closing the chief Justices office
and SAYS: 1.-The other two powers, we
hope, will also admit the illegal acts OF
their representatives"
The Tagebatt calls the arrest of the
German manager of the plantation in
which the amhuscade took place "ille-
gal" saving. our consul is the only
Judge
The Lokal- Anzeiger expresses the
opinion that the affair shows the need
If prompt action by the commission.
The Vossische -Zeitung says "Whatev-
'r action the German government takes.
t will find itself fully backed up by the
'eichstag."
A number of leading papers. like the |
Schlesische- Zetung !

'essity of larger navy and urge the

ional bill for the construction of new

The press throughout the state, head.

low, is earnestly discussing the all i'm
portant topic of the day so far as Yer
mont is concerned. What shall we do
with the rum question? Will the time
ever come when the prohibition law
can be rigidly enforced in every city and
town in the state of Vermont. Is it pos.
sible to find enough of those men who
brought this law into existence who
have the courage to see it carried out?
Will it not interfere too much with their
popularity and their business should
they take prominent part9 DO not the
majority of the strongest prohibitionists
much prefer to keep out of sight and
find fault with someone else for not per-
forming this odious task? If these
questions could be answered in proper
manner a different face weuld appear
upon the situation. If prohibition can
be made to prohibit, well and good. If
Vermont should accomplish this she
would move to the head of the class at
once as being the first state to do SO.
Such good projects of reform should be
given fair trial, if they succeed point

IcehOuae Eirea.

Curiously. an icehouse is the most
likely place in the world for fire. In
surance rates are so high on ice sheds as
to be almost prohibitive of any policies
being taken out. Spontaneous combus-
ton is responsible for the fires in ice
sheds. according to some authorities
When layer Of ice is melted around
the top and sides in summer. an i'm.
mense amount Of heat is set free When
conditions are exactly favorable. spou.
taneous combustion takes place. Others
believe that zone of warmth and
moisture is created by the melting Ice
and that this attracts lightning. In any
case an icehouse Is beautiful place for
Q fire.

Fun For the Shah.

During the winter months the little
colony of 60 or 70 English people at Te-
heran organize concerts for one anoth-
er's amusement There is dance now
and then at the legation. and when the
weather is cold of course there is skat-
ing. Skating is the greatest marvel Of
all to the Persians Some years ago the
late shah. Nasr-i-Din. saw 20 skaters
twirling and curling and spinning
gracefully on the ice. he was amused.
He thought it wonderful The next day
he sent to the legation and borrowed a
dozen pairs of the skates. These he
made his ministers put on and attempt
to skate on the lake in the palace
grounds. The poor ministers were ter
ribly discounted, but it was twice as
much as their heads were worth to re-
fuse. His majesty was moro amused
than ever. and he nearly had an apo
plectic fit from laughing.

Human Heaters.

In considering the problem Of heat.
ing the large department stores which
are now to be found in nearly every
big city it is very we'll worth taking
into account the animal heat distributed
BY the many customers who come into
such establishments. That this is con.
siderable is evidenced by tho experience
of at least one engineer. who. in one
such case. found that after 0 80 a. IN.
on day in midwinter. with the Their
mometer at the freezing point. no other
heat was needed to keep the place
warm. This fact. however, emphasizes
as well the great need Of a good system
of ventilation in such buildings as
without it the air would soon become
vitiated much beyond any reasonably
permissible degree. - Casters Maya
