''The treaty of peace with Spain,
which gave Us the Philippines, Porto
Rico and Guam. met with some oppo-
sition in the senate, but was ratified
by that body by more than a two-thlrds
vote; while In the house the appropria-
don OF 10000 900 was made with little
~ no opposition. AS in the case Of
the Louisiana purchase and Alaska,
the opponents of the treaty were in the
minority and the star OF an oppressed
people was not extlnguIshed. The fu-
ture of these new possessions is in the
keeping of Congress, and Congress Is
the servant of the people. That they

the general outlook In the money mar

able The violent upward movement OF
kc on the pound for sterling exchange

change rate at Paris dropped of an ad-

significant that the Bank Of England
parted with some tt65. 900 in gold To-day
for shipment to Paris, which city has
been looked to from all points as the
available source for relief for the need
Of gold. A financial upset in Italy had
disturbing effect in all the European

THE SAMOAN INCIDENT.
Or. Solf Leaves Washington on His Way to
Africa.
THE TWO MAIN POINTS ARE AGREED UPON
Commissioners shall he High Ogic-
iaIs and the Report Must be IMAM
limousine Umpire Chosen.

Washington. April 6--Herr Solf who is
to succeed Dr. Rafael as president OF the
municipal council Of Apia, has left Wash
ington for his post, via Chicago and Colo
RADIO Springs, Colo. planning his move
ments SO as to be able TO take the steamer
at San Francisco some time between the
10th and 18th of next month.
The state department has not yet select
ed its representative on the Samoan com
mission. but the president is giving the
matter his personal attention. Nearly
every American VINO has anything to do
with the Samoan business has turned up
as an applicant for this place But the
state department does not feel disposed
10 choose from among them, principally
for the reason that 1t Is deemed proper to
name some person who has not been In
volyed in any manner in the past diff
oultes on the Islands.
III there is any real intention OF secur-
ing an amicable agreement between the
three powers Interested in Samoan AFFAIRS
II Is believed that some such policy as this
is essential. Therefore the Berlin init
nation In some OF the press dispatches
that Herr Schmidt had been selected as
the German commissioner does not meet
with credence here. for 1t is well known
that while he was In Apa first as vice
consul and afterwards as president OF the
municipal council Herr Schmidt by his
uncompromising championship of the Ger
man interests where they conhicted with
those OF Americans became involved with
our consul, Mr.. Muligan, to a degree
which led to the retirement of bolh OF
these officials. II IL is deemed essential
that tho commissioners should be OK
perienced in Samoan affairs. however. that
TACT viii undoubtedly cover the selection
Of an American representative by the
president.
II IS possible that there may be a mis-
apprehension regarding the German com
missioner, owing to the large number OF
Schmidts in the consular service one re-
port Is that Ii is Herr Schmidt consul at
Caracas.
The German ambassador pr Won HOLE
pen. called az the state department today

factory adjustment of the Samoan affair.
Even as late as yesterday afternoon the
last possibilities of a hitch had not been
passed, but later in the day the agreement
was perfected it is thought, to the salts

The present tendency is not to provida
