NATTER FOR GENERALIZATION
That Germany Has Taken the Proper
Course in the Samoan Dispute.

The fact that United States Consul Os-
borne at Apia did not deem it worth while
to forward cable report to the State De-
partment from Auckland via the last steam
er which touched AT Apia is regarded here
as evidence that the situation in the
Samoan Islands is not quite so critical as
has been supposed. BY the last steamer
the consul cabled that he had forwarded
a long report by mail to the department.
and that is still lacking, although the iden-
teal report from the chief justice upon
the recent attempt of the provisional gov
eminent to suppress his office and the re-
sulting disturbances, Is at hand
1t is matter for congratulation to the
officials here that the German government
has acted so promptly in bringing its over
jealous officials in Apia to adopt a more
reasonable course, and it is noted with sat-
isfaction that the news dispatches speak of
the retraction by German Consul Rose
from MS former untenable position re-
specting the functions of the chief Justice
II was regretted that neither the United
states government nor that of Great
britain could see the way clear to pro-
tect the German resident Greismuhle from
the consequences of his folly in making an
attack upon the premises of the court for
TINS would have amounted in some degree
TO denial of the Jurisdiction of the chief

CLEARING THE RIVER.

Expenditure of Money Appropriated
for Removal of Ice.
Commodore Sutton of the District police
spending the 5000 appropriated by Con-
gress for the purpose of clearing the river
of ice and preventing flood. Speaking to
a Star reporter this morning, he said he
could see no indications of a freshet as
yet. If the present weather should con-
tinue for some time, he said there will
probably be no trouble If, on the other
thaw warm weather he would not VEN
ture predi ,tion on the result.
Several old river men who talked to a
Star reporter said they anticipated no
trouble, although there is more snow and
ice on the river than there had been in
many years.
Usually after SO much snow" one of
them remarked, I'VE have but little rain
Should this prove to be the case this time
we will have no flood
This morning there was quite a gather

dore Sutton when Star reporter called

near future.
AS soon as the harbormaster was inform
ed of the important duty that rested upon
him he started out to see the owners of
the tugs The ice is now nearly a foot
thick, and 1t is strong enough to resist
great force. There is not an unusual
amount of water in the river. not enough to
carry off broken ice and for this reason it
was deemed unwise to start out on the tugs
today. 1t will be several days, and perhaps

CITY HALL AFFAIRS.
Resumption of business in Four
COurIs-The Other Branches.

With the improvement in the weather
and the resumption of street railway traf-
ffc, business at the city hall, practically
suspended Monday and Tuesday, was taken
up today with vim. Most of the justices
and officials who had been snowbound
reported for duty, and the Indications
pointed to an endearor to make up for lost
time.
Equity Court No. l, Equity Court No. .,
Circuit Court No. l and Circuit Court No.
2 were in session all day. Criminal Court
No. l yesterday adjourned until tomorrow,
and, owing 10 the inability of the marshars
office to transport prisoners from Jail to
court, Criminal Court No. today also
adjourned until tomorrow. Justice Nc
Comas presided today over the session of
Equity Court No. 2.
The Court of Appeals, which adjourned
Friday last. has held no session this week
Chief Justice Alvey is snowbound at
Hagerstown, Md, and Justice Morris did
not venture forth from his home today.
Justice Shepard was at the city hall for a
short time. 1t is of interest to note that
the hearing of the appeal to test the snow
law was Oh today's Court of Appeals as
signment. Clerk Robert Wilett was unable
to say this afternoon just when the court
will sit.
Deputy Marshal James Springmann was
dispatched in a big sleigh for the Jail yes
terday 20 conduct Murderer Edward Smith
and William Dabney, charged with house
breaking, to court. The deputy marshal
returned in a couple of hours and reported
that he had found it impossible to reach
his destination. The commons, he says, are
banked high with snow, and at intervals
deserted vehicles have been overturned by
the force of the wind. A heavy pillow,
drawn by four horses. has cleared what
may be termed a very snake-like path
from Sth street and Pennsylvania avenue
southeast to the workhouse. Between the
workhouse and the Jail, however, the snow
Is drifted to a depth of five feet Spring
mann left the sleigh at the workhouse and
attempted to proceed to the jail afoot but
was only able to clear path a few feet in
that direction. AS stated, 1t was imprac-
ucable to get the prisoners to court this
morning, and, in the opinion of the deputy
marshal, it Will be several days before
regular trips can be made to the jail
The work of imDaneling a jury to serve
during the third trial of Edward Smith for
the murder of Edmonia Jackson will be
started tomorrow morning in Criminal Court

hoped TO conclude the trial this week

residence enthusiastically not, at least,
until the congestion prevailing in the bus
mess sections of the city has been relieved.
The Commissioners will also do what they
can to open the roads in the county and in
the suburban sections, but as the city must
first be cared for, 1t is not believed that
much can be done for the outlying sections
except the breaking of roads by riding
horses along them. This was done to a GER

the return trip. When this is done Sec

tugs can be sent many miles below Indian

The steamer Harry Randall is ice-bound
at Chapel Point, while the Wakefield is at
Lower Cedar Point. Not only is the Poto-
mac river frozen all the way to its mouth
but the ice extends across the Chesapeake
bay and some distance out at sea
There has been no news received from the
upper Potomac calculated to cause any
alarm. Business along the river front is
still at a standstill. Some ice is being cut
and there were many skaters out.

such depths existing on the Hamilton road

been over them since the beginning of the
storm. Snow plCws are to be put over
these roads at once and an endeavor made
to transform them into passable thorough
fares again.
The station house in Anacostia is filled
daily with poor people, mostly colored, seek
ing charity. Thus far Sergeant Anderson
has been able to assist the most deserving
ones from the funds allotted to him by the
police department.

must look to such action alone for
relief.
In the meantime the war depart

to that end number of dispatches
