SAMOAN MATTER.
British Intimation that Mataafa May
Yet BE Recognized.

WASHINGTON. February lO.-The
Samoan trouble is assuming some
what new phase, according to the view
of leading diplomatic authorities. and
one likely to bring about an adjust
ment ON lines heretofore not contem-
plated. This is, i'm part. foreshadowed
in the official statement of the Parlia-
mcntaTy Secretary in the House of
Commons yesterday to the effect that
further information would be await
ed before considering the recognition
of Mataafa as King of Samoa.
Mataafa is not the claimant who has
thus far received the support of the
British and American authorities. as
they upheld MaIietoa Tanus. who had
been declared by Chief Justice Cham
bers, an American, as rightfully en-
titled to the throne. While the an
nOuncement in the House of Commons
is open to various interpretations. vet
it seemed to indicate clearly that the
recognition of Mataafa, who was up
held by the Germans, may be taken
into consideration.

rived at Copenhagen on September ,.

The balloon i'm which Professor An
dree sailed away was built much after
the fashion of other balloons. 1t had
one distinctive feature. That was Il
strong guide rope which served two
essential purposes. 1t held the bal
loon at a uniform height and so pre-
vented the gas from being diminished
by expansion and overflow. 1t also
served as a keel to the floating vessel,
which was equipped with three large
and easily worked sails.
With the aid of the keel the balloon
could drift before the wind at an angle
| to the general direction. This gave
the explorer the advantage of not be-
! ing at the complete mercy of every
shift in the upper current and enable
him to hold his course or an approx
mate course. Andree counted upon
a speed of from twelve to fifteen miles
an hour. At this rate he should have
reached the Pole in about one week
the only necessity being a constant
and favorable wind.
If the report of the finding of the
dead bodies and the remains of a bal
loon on Timur peninsular be correct
the balloon moved only a little north
and then took a course northeast tC
the extreme northern point of Siberia
