OUR ATTITUDE IN SAMOA.
Germany Satisfied With ihs Replies Made by This
Coun,ry 10 Her Inuulrss.

London, March pa dispatch from
Berlin says that Germany recently
made representations TO the United
States in reference to the reported in
structions TO Admiral Kautz, now at
Apia, Samoa to act i'm accordance with
the decisions OF the American and
British representatives. The American
reply 10 these representations was
frank and conciliatory, and was re-
ceived with much satisfaction in Ber-
lin.
1t was TO the effect that the United
States recognized the necessity of una
nimity between all three powers when
any settled policy or permanent action
i'm Samoa was involved. Admiral kautz,
IL was added, had only been authorized
to act i'm accordance with the decision
of the majority OF the powers interested
i'm case of an emergency that did not
admit of delay. but in this case the
ratification of the action by the three
powers must be sought at the earliest
moment. The Unuited States cabled to
it's representatives in Samoa to pursue
the most friendly and most concilia-
tory policy toward the German repre-
sentatives and interests, and to avoid
carefully everything that was likely to
be misconstrued or 10 cause i'll Will.

Berlin. March 29.-The National
Zeitung has now arrived at the con-
clusion that Great Htain's opposition
TO Germany in samoa is more deliber-
ate and more tenacious than that OF the
United States. whose attitude, il says,
seems to be regulated by British infiu-
ence. The paper has discovered that
Chief Justice Chambers is Germany's

garding Africa. that each nation mighs

DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.
Business Continues Wonderfully
Large, Prosperous and Healthy.

New York, Dec. l.-R. G. Dun G. Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow
will say:
Business continues wonderfully
large, prosperous and healthy. In
many lines the volume of business was
larger in October, Notwithstanding the
extraordinary flood buying ever since
the beginning of last March. Wheat
remains weak, although western re-
ceipts were barely half last years for
the week and for four weeks only
21,743,505 bushels against S3,6O2, ,731
bushels last year. The great decrease
in Atlantic exports for the week is
only 2,410,554 bushels against 6.123, O66
bushels, and for four weeks 10,173. 1876
bushels against 17,3SS,2l0 bushels last
year, explains much of the weakness.
Corn declined one cent, with slightly
smaller exports than last year for the
week, but for fol!r weeks 1926, 745
bushels against 11,497, O9S bushels last
year. The cotton movement has not
changed much, but prices gained q
sixteenth for the week. Cotton goods
have remained strong. The iron manu-
facturer has to meet a greatly in
creased cost of material next year.
Prices for 1900 have been fixed at $3.50
for bessemer ore at lower lake ports,
against S2.53 last year, and $495 for
non-bessemer, against SO last year,
while coke, at S2.75 for furnace, with
high rail rates in every direction, in f.
dicates that iron will not be made next
year as cheaply as has been. Prices
of pig iron still advance. according to
the Iron Age; bessemer to So at Pitts
burg, with very small transactions, and
grey forge to $2125, quotations at other
points being unchanged. Prices OF
some finished products are slightly in
creased as works run out of orders
and compete with each other for moro
business, and refined bar is so per ton
lower at Philadelphia; common SO per
ton lower at Pittsburg, and plates 50
lower at Philadelphia, with further
concessions in sheets because many
of the tin plate works are now closed.
Some of the iron works about Pitts
burg are running half time.
The shipments of boots and shoes in
four weeks have been 373, ,307 y ases, IA
per cent. larger than in 1897, But new
business, although considerable in
quantity, shows a marked decrease be-
cause of the prolonged rise IN prices.
Failures for the week have been IA
in the United States, against PSI last
year, and twenty-one in Canada,
against nineteen last year.

HUNTED WITH FERRETs.

Stroudsburg, Pa, Dec. 1.-Reigel
OFT, l.. J Jones and Thomas Luckard,
four well known sportsmen of Bangor,
were arrested by Constable John NJ.
Decker for hunting with a ferret in
Jackson township, this county. The
men were taken before Justice Robert
Gruber and each held in 81 bail for a
hearing next Monday. Bail was fur
nished by DIR. A. lie Bar, one of this
towns most prominent druggists.
Detective Ross, of Bangor, early on
Thanksgiving morning came to town
and informed Constable Decker that a
quartette of Bangor people had left
that town for a hunt in this county
Ross learned that the men had with
them a ferret and that they would
probably go to Jackson township.
With a detective, Constable Decker,
after the men were found In posses
sion of four rabbits, took the men into
custody. The ferret was found in pos
session of l.. p. Jones. 1t will prove
an expensive hunting trip for the men
should they be found guilty of violating

shall hunt or permit the hunting of
hares or rabbits with ferrets, under
penalty of $25 for each rabbit caught
or killed by such means.

BOILER HOUSE WRECKED.
The Explosion of "Nsst" at mixer.
man-No One Injured,

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Pittston, Dec. 1.-The boiler house at
No. colliery of the Pennsylvania Coal
company at Inkerman, exploded with
loud report about 11.30 this morning,
and that no one was killed or injured
is almost miraculous. There were six
cylinder boilers in the house, divided
into two nests, and the outer two boil
ers of the nest exploded. The boilers
broke in the middle, the fronts being
pushed out through the front of the
firemans room. The rear half of the
boilers with the woodwork of the house
were thrown high in the air and land
ed in field about 100 feet away. The
four remaining boilers were loosened
from their fastenings. William Evans,
with gang of masons were building
brick engine house within fifty feet
of the boilers and that they were not
struck by the flying bricks and tim
Der which filled the air, scattering in
all directOys, is indeed surprising
sThere was no one in the boiler house
at the time. The fireman, fortunately,
had just stepped into the engine room
nearby on an errand and was just
about to return when the explosion
occurred. Work at the colliery was i'm
medlately suspended and the inside
employees taken from the mine.
The cause of the explosion is un-
known. The fireman says there was
plenty of water in the boilers. The
houses in the vicinity were consider
ably shaken by the shock.
