when a farce writer makes up his mind
to write a farce he will run tripingly
through my compendium, for The
Ready Farce Writer will pick out his
characters, group them and assert to
each one a certain specified number
of jokes and puns, situations and COM
pl1cations; set on slow fire and stir
constantly, as the cook book says,
then divide into three equal parts, sea-
son with a dish of vaudeville and the
latest things from the comic weeklies
to bring it up to date, provide a cake
walk or the equivalent in popularity
for the time being, as a final for the
weakest act, and there you are; serve
it hot, with plenty of ginger and a
sprinklng of spice, and heavens help
the public! Don't you think every writ
er of farces will want one of them?
If they do, and I am not looking for
another trade just now, as there is not
printing house in the country that
can supply them fast enough if these
gentry all come to the front, I shall
quit exploiting farces and go to cut
ting coupons. I have had an even
thousand farces submitted to me with

currence OF the three powers, and called
attention to the dangers which were sure
TO arise II there was anything like a Viola-
tion of the treaty.
The American government made frank
and conciliatory answer, which has caused
much satisfaction here. 1t recognized the
necessity of unanimity upon the part Of
al three powers under the treaty as a
coBdit1op OF any settled policy OF per-
nanent action, and declared the admiral
was only authorized to act in agreement
with majority of the Representatives of
the powers In case of emergency which
absolutely does not admit of delay, but
IN such case the ratification or adjusts
n'ent by the unanimous vote Of the three
powers must be sought at the first possi,
Die moment, and no permanent arrange.
ment can be made without such unanimitv.
Inc American government IL is added
caDled TO Its representatives in Samoa to
pursue the most friendly and conciliatorv
policy toward the German REPRESENTATIVES,
and German interests. carefully avoiding
everything likely to be misconstrued or
to create i'll will.
In consequence of the stories regarding.
hataafa having sanctioned sectarian tvr-
amy, the German government assured Mr..
White that all Its influence would be eS-
erted against interference with the religion
