Advices receivedsby the State Department
show that in the administration OF the Sa-
moan Islands by the consular board ma
jority rule will prevail BY his agree
ment to such rule Baron Won SternberS,
German representative on the Samoan
Commission, has again supported the po-
sition originally assumed by this coup-
try. Negotiations for the appointment of
the commission were nearly wrecked by
the declaration of the German Govern
ment that under the treaty of Berlin three
Consuls had to be unanimous before ac-
ton could be taken, and this rule, II was
declared. should be pursued IN the de-
liberations of the commission.
The United States and Great Britain
desired that majority rule should prevail
in the commission, though the necessity
of unity on the part of the three Consuls
was admitted; but the German PROPOSE
ton was finally adopted. The fact that
Baron Won Sternberg has agreed to ma
iOrity rule in the consular board Is very
gratifying to the authorities here, who
say it means there cannot possibly be
brought war to the islands, -
It cannot be learned to what extent DR..
