THE GERMAN PRESS.
Morning Papers Comment Calmly on
The Situation.

Berlin, April 13-The United States em-
bassy at noon today gave the correspon-
dent here of the Associated Press the fol-
lowing statement:
1--WE have received from the foreign Of
flee an account of the latest conflict in
Samoa. The German government expressed
sympathy and took occasion to urge the
adoption of the unanimity rule in the find
ings of the Samoa commission, in order
that the German commissioner Baron
Speck von Sternberg, might sail for Samoa
at the earliest moment possible. The Ger
man government urged that only the early
arrival of the commission will prevent fur
ther serious bioodshed. This morning
Baron Won Buelow informs the America,
ambassador that Great Britain has at las
agreed to the unanimity rule, the Uniteo
States also agreeing and that the commits
sion can probably proceed to the islands
without delay.
The German press this morning gives yes
terday's news calmly and almost without
comment.
The Cologne Gazette remarks:
I'VE need not deny that If the guilt of
the manager of the German plantation Il
proved Germany will approve of his arresS
and demand his punishment. We will no
defend the behavior of a German abroad
merely because he is a German"
The Cologne Gazette also adds that Dr.
Rafael, the German president of the mu-
ncipal council of Apia, acted illegally in
closing the chief Justices Office and says:
THE other two powers, we hope, will also
admit the Illegal acts of their representa-
tives."
The Tageblatt calls the arrest of the Ger
man manager of the plantation in which
the ambuscade took place, illegal" say
ing:
our consul is the only competent Judge"
The Lokal Anzeiger expresses the opinion
that the affair shows tho need of prompt
action by the commission.
The Vossische Zeitung says:
"Whatever action the German govern
ment takes it will find itself backed up by
the reichStag.
Zetung, Schleische Zeitung and Hanover
Courier point out the necessity of a larger
navy and urge the necessity of an increase
in its strength and the adoption of addi-
tional bills for the construction of other
vessels.
The reichstag Interpolation on the SUBJ
ject of Samoa is signed by majority Of
the Centre, Reichsparted, Conservatives
and National Liberals, and asks the gov
ernment for information regarding the
'events in Samoa which have injured Ger
man interests so seriously, ana also re-
quests information regarding the measures
taken or intended to be taken by the gov
ernment under the circumstances.
The afternoon newspapers continued their
hitter comments on Great Britain, the p
semi-official Post strongly urges the retch-
stag to place at naval ofhcers nsposl
forthwith the whole amount OF the appxo-
priations. passed in annual instalments Tor
tba naval increases last year and to hasten
tbe work of construction, arguing that
"w,tb a respectable navy Germany need not
fear repetition of the humiliating occur
rences at Samoa"

Confederate Veterans Union.

Atlanta, Ca, April 13.-Adjutant General
George Norman, of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans, has issued letter in which
he outlines the business which is to be
transacted al the annual reunion to be held
May 10. 1t is announced that General
Joseph Wheeler will deliver the ovation at
the evening exercises. This will be one of
the great events of the reunion.
There will be large amount OF business
taken up during the reunion. Some man.
ner of furnishing state aid to the disabled
and feebler soldiers will be discussed. The
care of graves of the confederate soldiers
will be taken up, and 1t is probable some
response will be made to the sentiments ex-
pressed by President Mckinley on his visit
to Atlanta.
Impartial history will be another ques-
ton discussed. The movement to build a
monument to Jefferson Davis will be re-
newed and plans arranged to accomplish
the object in view. plan for a mutual
aid and benevolent society will be dis
cussed, thus offering a relief to widows and
orphans of confederate soldiers.

Washington, April 13-The Samoan COM
mission will sail for Apia on the United
States naval transport Badger, leaving San
Francisco on the 25th instant. This ar
rangement was made today after Baron
Speck Won Sternberg, first secretary of the
German embassy had called on Secretary
Hay and advised him of his appointment as
the German member of the high commits
sicn. This completed the body.
The formal announcement of Baron
Sternberg's appointment was received from
the German foreign office and gave general
satisfaction among officials and diplomats.
His choice was accepted as an evidence that
the commissioners would be able to CO.
operate and reach the unanimous decision
called for by the agreement.
The early sailing of the commission is re-
garded as evidence that the recent colls-
ion at Apia will -be~setued automatically.

bers.
Prominent democrats are still talking of
the governors action and specializing on
the outcome. Hon. Robert J. Lowe, chair
man of the state democratic executive COM
mittee, gave out the following interview
last night:
'I have been for years an advocate of
a constitutional convention. The pres
ent bill was approved by the members OF
the democratic caucus of the general as
sembly and by them enacted into law.
The democratic state executive commit
tee unanimously endorsed the bill be-
fore its passage The democratic state
convention at it's recent meeting in
Montgomery approved the call by vote
of two to one. l am now in favor of
holding a constitutional convention"
Executive Committee Meeting.
A plan is on foot to have rousing meet
ing of the democratic state executive COM
mittee in Montgomery on April 81
The present intention is to have every
member of the committee present, as well
as every candidate nominated by the party
for delegate to the constitutional conven-
tion.
Prominent democratic leaders are urging
that a full attendance of members be pres
ent so that final and decisive action may be
taken.
Chairman Lowe is particularly anxious
that every member and every candidate
make It his duty to attend.

Against The Convention.

Lebanon, April 81 am against con-
stitutional convention, and am in favor Of
the governor calling an extra session of the
legislature to repeal the act authorizing the
convention for reasons as follows:
/. Such was not Incorporated in the state
democratic platform of 1898, to be sub
mitted to the people for their approval.
that without the consent of the governed
the legislature passed the act.

The Age-Herald last night that he thought
the matter one of the utmost Importance
Has Already Made Up His Mind.

The Age-Herald last night that he thought
the matter one of the utmost Importance
Has Already Made Up His Mind.
The intimation comes from Montgomery
that Governor Johnston has already made
up his mind to convening the legislature
in extra session to repeal the constitutional
convention call.
This assumption is based upon the figures
given out from the executive office on the
replies being received from members of the
legislature In answer to the governors cir
cular letter. The governor still figures that
he is in the majority.
The Age-Herald's poll this morning shows
the house to be 20 to q against repeal and
the senate to 6. So far The Age-Hera d
has found only one doubtful member in
either house.
Private Secretary Cory yesterday gave
out the following figures ON the replies re-
ceived by the governor:
HOUSE.
For special session.. ...N
Against special session..... -. ... -. ...1S
Doubtful. ...lO
SENATE
For special session.. -. -. 80. -. 10
Against. special session .......... .......... 0
Doubtful. -. 49,.
This makes a total of IA replies, with 81
for the special session and "a against it,
and 13 doubtful. 1t Is thought probable
that the members whom the governor
places in the "doubtfur' column will vote
against repeal. According to his figures.
this would make the vote SO far tie.
Of fha LIST
in the general assembly have already re-
piled to the circular. They are for the ex-
ira session. Whether the governor intends
to consider their views in calling an extra
session is a matter of conjecture. 1t is
well known that the remnant of the popu-
list party remaining is against constitu-
tional convention. The question now arises,
according to current gossip, as to whether
the governor will call an extra session in
the face of the adverse sentiment of a ma
jority of the democratic members. 1t is
now considered certain that a majority of
the democrats will not side with the chief
executive, and to get a majority he must
consider the populists.
In the event that an extra session is
called it will be composed of only 129 men,

repeal the act. voted against the bill, and
would do the same thing again. Space

constitutional convention and have no rea-

be better for the democratic party to meet
defeat at the polls than to change front or
retreat from the position taken.
