SAMOAN QUESTION
The Work of Selecting a
Commissioner Begun.
Gre at Britain Is in Doubt-Salisbury
Wants Further.L'ght-Points
Being Argued.

LONDON, April i-The Berlin cor
respondent Of the Standard says: Mr..
White, the American ambassador, oX-
pressed to me today bis firm conviction
that the whole Samoan question is now
in fair way to a settlement satisfac-
tory to all the powers interested.
WASHINGTON, April 3.--The Pres
IdCnt and Secretary Hay have been Civ
ing consideration to the selection Of a
representative OF the United States
Government on the Samoan commits
sion. He will not be a member Of either
the Senate or House Of Representatives
according to present lights. 1t Is oX-
pected that the effort will be to find
some person thoroughly familiar with
the issues likely to be presented in the
settlement OF this Samoan dispute.
1t Is regarded by the State Depart
ment as essential that the commission
be appointed at the earliest possible
moment
Many cable dispatches have been
passing between Washington and Lon
don in regard TO the Samoan settle
mGnt. The main point is on deicrmin'
ing exactly the extent OF authority
which the high commission is 10 pos
sess. Lord Salisbury desiring all unccr-
tain points first cleared up and an eX-
act definition OF what the commission
Is to do before committing Great Brit
ain. The British Government Is as
ready as the United States or Ger
many to accept the general principle OF
commissioners, but it wants to know In
advance as to the power of the com
mission.
The Indications are that the British
authorities will give their adherence
to the agreement within day or two
but IL Is stated that there is still
chance, although very slight one
that the agreement may not be con
cluded.
The present negotiations are concsn
trated on three main points, viz: First
is the commission to report or Is 1t Il
have executive authority TO administe
as well as to negotiate, and II so whl
Is the extent of its executive power
second, will the action Of the commits
sion be determined by majority q
will unanimous action be required
third, II a majority determination !
arranged what safeguards are to b
provided to insure unanimous eXecu
ton. This last pOint-as between ma
jority or unanimous actiOn-is veXin
one and is the one which has arise
between the consular officials in Sa
moa. and it Is evident that Lord Sal
IisbuTy hesitates to assent TO any agree
ment which may renew this contro
vCrsy.
An agreement upon King Oscar a
final arbitrator would Obyiate a dead
lock, but this, while proposed unoiil
c!ally during the recent discussions
has not been assented to Officially.

Indications Of Important Developments

NEW YORK, April 3.-PaciGc Mail
was conspicuously buoyant to-day,
getting up from 49as To SO, and al
though suffering in general reaction in
the last hour 1t retained between two
and three points of its gain to the
close. Inside interests were credited
with the heaviest buying of the stock
and in quarters where Pacific Mail in
formation was usually good this buy
ing was attributed to knowledge OF
important Developments 1t was in
timated that people identified with one
of the great Eastern steamship COM
panles-possibly the International Ma
vigation Company-have recently ac'
quircd large holdings of Pacific Mai
stock, and are negotiating for practl'
cal control of the property. IL was
impossible to confirm this rumor, but
it was given credence in high quarters
The character of the recent buying oI
Pacific Mail stock would Indicate that
something OF more than ordinary I'm
