CRUISER TO Be SENT,
United States to Protect It's Interests In
Samua-Ph Chosen.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The navy
department has prepared orders for
the cruiser Philadelphia to proceed to
Samoa at once to represent the United
States interests there, in view of the
reported fighting over the election of
a successor to King Malietoa. The at
titude of the German consul, who,
according to press dispatches, has at
tempted to usurp the power of the
supreme court, and to violate in other
ways the Samoan agreement, is be-
lieved to have influenced the depart
ment in its action. Germany is repre-
scented by cruiser at Apia, while the
American consul is obliged to depend
on the British warship Porpoise for
support.
While the attention of the public
has been Of late drawn from the
Samoan islands to other more import
ant subjects, it appears that interest
ing events have been succeeding one
another with rapidity in the islands.
1t has been realized for long time
past that there was need for modifica-
ton of the terms of the tripartite
treaty, by which we assumed joint
guardianship with England and Ger
many, but up to this point it has not
been possible to get all three of the
powers to agree upon airy one project.
Negotiations have been on foot for
some time in relation to the
succession to the Samoan throne
and it is calculated to lead
to i'll feeling at least that the
German officials should resort to
coup d'etat at this stage of the ne
gotiations. 1t is believed that much
of the responsibility for this, arbitrary
action must rest upon Raffel, the Ger
man president of the municipal coun-
Gil at Apia, whose Troublesome atti-
tude of late has led to remonstrance
on the part of the other powers.
There has been an understanding that
he was to be removed to another scene
of activity, and the supposition is
that, getting wind of this intention,
he has precipitated a crisis before his
government could reach him with
orders

EXTRA SESSION ILLEGAL.
Attorney General GODDARD Decides That
There Was No Emergency In Kansas.

Iuere was no EmerSency IN iNanShS.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. Attorney
General A. A. GODDARD submitted q
written opinion yesterday holding
that the acts of governor can be re-
viewed by the supreme court; that
Governor Leedy's call for an extra ses-
sion of the legislature was not in con-
formity with the constitution, in that
no emergency existed, and that all
laws passed ut tho extra session are
null and void. Mr.. Godard's opinion
was rendered on question submitted
by State Auditor Cole When the new
administration came into power, there
were number of outstanding war
rants issued by the extra session of the
Legislature. Yesterday Auditor Cole
refused to audit the claims until At
torney-General GODDARD could render an
opinion. This was done.
Within an hour after the attorney
general rendered his opinion, manda-
mus proceedings were instituted
against the state auditor by ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor Harvey, a claimant,
in order to get a judicial ruling ON the
question.
The present session of the Legisla-
ture will no doubt pass an act appro-
priating money to pay the members
for services rendered during the extra
session. Governor Stanley is heartily
in favor of the passage of such law.
The Republican administration will
follow the opinion and ignore the laws
passed at the extra session unless the
courts decide otherwise.

WAR BREAKS OH IN SAMOA
The Expected Clash Between. Fac
tons Has Occurred.
THE UNITED STATES INVOLVED.


AUCKLAND, N. H., Jan. 20.-Samoan
advices just received here say that
Chief Justice Chambers, on December
-, declared Malietoa Tanus to have
been elected king, in succession to the
late King Malietoa. The chief justice
also announced that. Tamasese had
been elected vice king. Chief Mataafa
was disqualified.
The consuls of the United States and
Great Britain and the captains of the
German warship, Fake, and the Brit
ish warship Porpoise, met the German
consul, who refused to recognize
Malietoa Tanus and declined to CO.
operate in the dispersal of the Samoans,
who thereupon assembled in large
numbers at Mulinu, armed themselves
and surrounded the municipality.
Malietoa Tanus and Tamasese mus
tered about 1000 men, well armed, but
supplied with defective ammunition
The British and American consuls en-
deavored to avert hostilities, but they
commenced on January /. Malictoa
Tanus and Tamasese fought bravely,
but 800 of their followers were cap
tured Then, disheartened and out
numbered, the two chiefs sought ref
ugc on the British warship and their
followers sought protection under the
guns of the Porpoise.
Mataafas loss was siXty-one men
killed and wounded, and Nalietoa
Tanus lost twelve men killed and
wounded.
The foreign residents were placed
under the protection of detachment
of men belonging to the British ship,
and Chief Justice Chambers and his
family went on board of her.
The followers of Mataafa looted and
burned Apia, destroyed the planta-
tions, and pillaged considerably in the
country,
The consuls later decided to rccog
nize Mataafa and his chiefs as pro-
visional government, pending the re-
ceipt Of instructions from the powers,
with President Raffel as executive
head
Aftcrward, DR.. Raffel and the Ger
man consul closed the supreme court,
declaring that the power was vested
in them. The British and American
then appealed to the captain
Of the British warship, Porpoise, who
landed u force of blue jackets, and Chief
Justice Chambers, under their guard,
took his seat. Mataafa held aloof from
these last developments. The excite
ment continues. ..,
The provisional governor wrote to
Sturdec on the 18th that he would
seize Malietoa and take Tamasese off
the Porpoise by force, if necessary,
deprive them OF their titles and desert
them. Chambers is residing on the
Porpoise. The British and American
consuls have protested against any in
of the Berlin treaty. Brit
ish residents have taken refuge in
their consulate, and the American resid-
cnts have taken refuge in the mission.
An American warship is urgently
needed here.
