A Worthy Suggestion.

~ T the Memorial day observance
n on the field of Gettysburg,
l General Daniel Butterfeld
made a suggestion which the New York
Mail and Express, one of the strongest
republican papers in the country, says
SHOULD take root in the American
mind" In the days when sectionalism
ran high the federal board in charge
of the Gettysburg battlefield directed
that no memorial of confederate gal
lantry should be erected within the
union lines.
But times and opinions have
changed. In his Memorial day speech
General Butterffeld in one Of many tri-
butes to confederate bravery on the
field of Gettysburg, strongly urged that

FIELD SPORTS.
A Large Crowd at the Contests-A Good
Sum Melted.

Missoula. June 6.-The crowd that
turned out this afternoon to witness
the field sports of the faculty and uni
versity students Melted quite a sub
stantial fund to the gymnasium and
witnessed some exciting sport. The
baseball game between the teams from
the faculty and from the students was
the center of attraction and there were
numerous exciting plays. The base run
ming Of Professor Aber was by far the
best thing in it's line that has ever been
seen here. The students, however, won
by a score of IA to IL.
The tennis tournament between Pro
fessor Elrod of the faculty and George
Kennett of the class of '99 resulted in a
tie, each winning one set. Misses Hattie
way and McCrackin, representing the
students, defeated Misses Riley and
Knowles of the faculty at croquet, win

Asked for his views on the situation,

Representative Hull of Iowa, chair

visitors. He said: This government
will not undertake to dscredit our men

they are in the wrong. If Germany in

traton will allow Germany to run this
government, as she seems to be trying
to do now In my section Of the coun-
try the feeling has been strong against
Germany for six months. The people
believe that she was hostile to us in
the war with Spain. The people are
in such a temper that they will not

SHOT DOWN IN AMBUSH


an agreement was reached respecting
the commission.
Evidently the government is doing its
utmost to avoid irritating disturbances.
It had its dispatch from Apia early
this morning, but refrained from pub
fishing the contents because it did not
desire to exhibit mischievous pleasure
at the ambush of the British and Amer
leans. The same motive forbade the
semi official papers to publish or COM
ment upon the news in tone open to
the suspicion of cynicsm.
Baron Won Buelow deprecates any at
tempt to complicate the situation by
needless interpretations: but he has con-
sented to reply to an Interpolation by
a member of the national liberal party
in the reichStag tomorrow or on Fri
day, STIMULATING, however, that the in
qury shall deal with the general situa-
ton only and contain nothing offensive
to Great Britain or the United States.
This appears to confirm the report that
the visit of Sir Frank Lascelles has
had definite result, since, until to-
night. Baron Won Buelow has declined
to consent to interpretations.
1t is understood that if a German
should prove to have been responsible
for the treachery the government will
acknowledge his liability to punish
ment. rt
AS a specimen of the excitement pre-
vailing in Chauvinist quarters, the
agrarian newspaper, Tages Zeitung
publishes a violent manifesto calling
upon the women of Germany to contrib
ute to a navy fund as a protest against
the act of the United States and Great
Britain in tramping Germany's honor
into the dust. The manifesto is signed
"A German Frat"
The radical papers comment upon it
satirically, one of them remarking: Get
thee to nunnery, Ophelia." The Fos-
sische Zeitung observes that the pre-
vious navy fund provided about enough
money to buy a lifeboat.

grounds, near Long Branch, N. j. Includ-
ing post entries, the list was made up of
219 names. of which only l6 failed to turn

cap committee, and the others, including
three women were placed on marks down

anything but fayorable for swift work at
the traps. The sky was overhung with
clouds and a half gale moved from the
southwest. directly facing the shooting
box Three sets of traps surrounded the
box like clover leaf, and the effect of the
wind made the flight of the birds more
than ordinarily difficult for the marks
men.

limit mark. only one. James A. Elliott of

The German ambassador here Count

ceived the news from a representative
of the associated press. He quickly
recognized its importance and asked
permission to make a copy of the dis
patch. He said This news is indeed
grave and it is unfortunate, too, at this

endanger the negotiations for the set
Element that we were glad to feel would

unfortunate"

circumstances surrounding the case, it
is impossible to express an accurate

The Berlin correspondent of the
Times says: THE latest news from
Samoa has elected the keenest regret
here. 1t is regarded as showing that
Admiral Kautz and Captain Sturdee
made mistake in attempting to sup
| press Mataafa with the small force at
their disposal. The Kreuz Zeitung says:
We took too optimistic a view when
we drew the conclusion from Ambassa-
dor Whites declarations that Great
Britain and the United States had not
adopted an identical attitude in the Sa-
moan question: The concentration of
the German press attacks, now upon
Great Britain and not upon the United
States suggests an ardent desire some
where to act upon the principle divide
ct impera' With regard to the ap-
pointment of the commission, neither
England nor America can be accused
of giving Germany any excuse for de-
lay. If Germany insists upon the prin-
ciple of unanimity in instructions to
all the commissioners she must at least
give the other powers time to consider
this important subject 1t cannot be
expected that Mr.. Elliott and Mr.. Trip
will take their instructions ready made
from Baron Won BuelOw.'

SAMOAN COM MISSION.
The United States Will Maintain Strong
Force at Apia.

New York, April PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Though
the three powers signatury to the Ber-
lin treaty have practically agreed upon
the instructions under which the Samo-
an commission will act, the adminlstra-
ton will maintain a strong American
force at Apa. The collier Brutus is
going to Apia, where she will remain
until the collier Scandal arrives, when,
if the situation permits, she will pro-
coed to Guam. The collier Abarenda
will soon start for Page Page, where
she will take station as guardShip at
the cnaling station at that port. These
GOLFERS have fairly large crews and
several rapid fire guns, and will be
useful in case of another scrimmage
with the natives 1t is expected that
the Samoan commission will leave for
Apia on the steamer sailing from San
Francisco on April 10. Mr.. Trip is now
on his way to Washington and Herr
Won Sternberg and Mr. Elliott, the Ger
man and British commissioners, are in
| Washington. To reach San Francisco
in time it will be necessary for the
commission to leave this city on Fri
day. During the three or four months
of the stay of the commission in Apia
it will attend to the government of the
islands, superseding Malietoa Tanus,
the municipal council, the consuls and
the chief justice and their retention in
office will be determined by the report
of the commission.
