SAMOAN ISLANDS.
Mean Much for Amerlca-The Island
OF ThtntIa Comes to Us by

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
Washington, u. c.. Nov. 16.-Judge Cham
bers, Of Alabama, former CHIEF justice OF
Samoa, expresses great satisfaction over the
the way he had hoped 1t would have been set
tied he said. He says there are no dif1cult
problems ofgovernment presented with the
acquisition OF these islands.
! "ln the division ;" he said, 1--WE get what Is
of great value to US. We have the Maria,
Rose and Tutuila, and with the latter the
great Panga harbor. The harbor W lth good
to to ns s. In our trade with Australia and South
Africa. Without disparagi1g our trade with
China think our trade with Australia and
south Africa will develop faster than that in
the east, one reason being that we will have
TO educate the Chinese trade to our goods
while the Australian and South African fs
acustomed TO the European markets and
goods OF the quality we manufacture.
"The Samoan Islands themselves Will not
prove OF any special importance To US from
ihe standpoint Of commerce because there Ia
little commerce there. The harbor OF Panga
Panga Is land locked and perfect refuge. II
Is the shape OF a fish hook. and vessel enter.

"The fact that the settlement has been
made ss recorded is Of important significance
and Great Britain and Germany giving the
United States first choice In the partition was
q most fatterlng recognition OF the United
States as q world power.
"I0e paramount VI
ly adjustment is that Germany, Great Britain
and the United States have decided to join
hands in the development OF the com merce
OF the world and in preserving peace. With
these three powers acting together the peace
OF the world will be assured. 1t 'seems that
these three great competitors have resolved TO
cease contention with each other for CONNER
clal supremacy and that they Will hereafter

Ing civilization. They are in reality necessary
10 each other. Great Britain, the greatest
naval power in the world. Germany the
greatest military power In the world, and
America, the greatest producer IN
the world, they can conn bined maintain
themselves against the rest OF the world.
The sincerity OF Great Britain has been
demonstrated and the sincerity OF Germany
cannot be doubted. From the point Of view
of the great selfshness 1t is TO the interest
of each to be loyal In Its friendship for the
rest. .
"The United States will have no trouble
with the government Of her possessions.
The Samoans are OF an amiable disposition
aud education Is general among them. They
have a strong love OF the United States, and
ask nothing better than to be governed Dy
Americans. A naval governor will probably
be sent 10 Samoa as In the case OF Guam, and
the natives will be allowed to preserve their
own methods Of government as far as II is

"TEXAS FEVER" "
This State No Longer Afflicted With
That Epidemic.
GreenViIIe New

One effect OF the cotton factories in this
State which seems to have attracted little at
tentIon is that they have stopped the usual
annual migration to Texas. Until the last
ten years IL was a regular thing every fall for
the newspapers In upper South Carolina TO an
nounce the departure of family after family
for Texas, After a bad crop year there was
unually an attack of Texas fever" which
carried away whole colonies of people we
could not spare. Now we hear nothing OF
"Texas fever" The emigrants are few aud
far between and usually remnants Of families
the larger parts of which have already moved
West. People who are dissatisfied with their
condition now 60 TO the factory towns, and as
q rule they stay there. Some are so fortunate
az to get enough ahead TO return to farming
with better chances than they had before,
accommodating some money with which to
buy aud stock land. IT is likely the next
census will show a very heavy increase, not
only In wealth but in population. The birth
rate Is high az ever and the emigration has
virtually reased. We have found the Texas
fever" cure we have been seeking seventy-hVe
years.
