and for time such cups were the Cnly
drinking vessels we had while on the
island OF Alphonso.
At last We gained the summit Of the
mountain, and with mingled satisfac-..
tlon and anxiety In our hearts, swept
the horizon with eager eyes.
Not sail was in sight!
Far as our eyesight could reach
around us in mighty circle, rolled
the waters of the Southern Atlantic.
almost tepid with heat. and pale and
white. they seemed to palpitato under
the rays Of the unclouded sun.
At our feet lay the whole isle Of
Alphonso and its two rock nppendages.
with the encircling sea boiling in tho
narrow chasms between them with a
fury which was the result of contrary
currents. and which formed singular
contrast to its calmness elsewhere.
After brief rest We prepared to set
up the signal-post.
Tom took off his shirt, and drawing
from his pocket n piece Of spunyarn.
which seaman Is seldom without. he
lashed his undergarment to the end
OF the studdingsa boom. and by the
aid of the hatchet and our hands, VIC
scraped hole sufficiently deep in
which to erect the spar. and then jam
med it hard and fast with stones. AS
the shirt was blown out flag fashion
upon the wind, we hoped 1t would
prove a sufficient indication to ves-
sci approaching from any quarter that
there were people on the island in
want of succor.
For some hours we fingered on tho
mountain-top. in the fond hope OF see
ing sail. and then returned slowly
downward to the beach. where our
shipmates awaited us at the wigwam
which now formed our home. and
which we jocularly designated the cap
ital city of Alphonso.

The kingship i'm Samoa is abolished;
the executive is to be a man appointed
from one Of the neutral powers, that is
from some other than one of the three
treaty powers; the administration of
the affairs of the Samoan group is to b.
in the hands of this executive and his
council. such is roughly the outline of
the recommendations of the report the
high commission to Samoa will make
to the three powers party to the Berlin
agreement"
In this way Baron Won Strenberg this
morning summarized the plan OF The
government the commission has agreed
to recommended for Samoa.
Peace and quiet now reign in Apia
and the whole Samoan group continu-
ed Baron Won Sternberg. such has
been the state of affairs since four
weeks after our arrival there May Is
last. The kingship was failure in ev-
cry sense. 1t only afforded a meChan-
ism for petty intrigues and general ras-
cality. Every VeStige of the old mon
archial form of government Will be alb
Olshed if the recommendations of the
commission are adopted by the powers.
The whole executive administration
will be put in the hands of a foreigner
| appointed from one of the neutral pow
ers and h S council. All agreed that the
executive should be appointed from a
neutral power. The logic of such a pO-
! Icy is potent on its face. The cOntinu-
ed amity of the three powers as far as
] Samoan affairs go, would be practically
assured by such an arrangement.
! LAS to the natives, they are unani-
| mously in favor of the proposed change.
! Both Mataafa and Malietoa Tanu
agreed that the kngship must of neces-
sity be abolished and their followers
are now a unit in favor of the scheme.
Each of the councils of thirteen high
! chiefs met with the commissioners just
prior to our departure and unanimous
Ily agreed to our new scheme of govern
ment. They not only agreed verbally
but they willingly came aboard the
Badger and signed individually, reso-
lutions to that effect. We feel that this
last accomplishment on our part was
our best work.
I'VE left the machinery of govern
ment in the hands of the consuls of thu
. three powers who are now stationed a
Apia In the absence of Chief JuStic,
Chambers, we appointed Mr.. Osborne
the American consul, to fill the position
which we deem a happy selection a!
Mr.. Osborne is very good lawyer anC
only a lawyer can handle the very diff
ficult problems which will now confron
the chief justice.
In summing up, | will say that tn
commission arrived at Samoa. anC
found two hostile camps pitched on
against the other, extreme eXcitemen
among the white residents, in fact
general chaos. We departed leavin
