The Powers Conferring Over samoan
situation


Berlin, April 5.-The negotiations
between the German minister OF for
eign affairs, Baron Won Buelow, the
United States ambassador, Andrew d.
White, and the British ambassador Sir
Frank G.. Lascelles continue The rep
resentative of Great Britain still favors
the majoritv rule within the proposed
Samoan investigation commission. Ger
many wants unanimity, according to
the Berlin act, and the United States
acquiesces in the latter
Mr.. White said to the correspondent
here of the Associated Press: II be-
lieve England will yield to unanimity
The delay in a decision is probably
due to Lord Salisbury's absence. AS a
compromise, l offered that each power
appoint three commissioners, with
seven to decide But this met with
small favor. Germany thinks that it
will not be difficult to secure unanimity
within the commission if the commits
sioners are instructed 10 be concilia-
tory.
Official dispatches from Washington
say the American representatives at
Samoa have been instructed TO proceed
cautiously and return to the status
quo. All other reports, such as that
the United States and Great Britain
will hold Germany responsible for the
deaths Of bluejackets during the recent
fights are baseless."
New York, April 5.-The CONNER
cial Advertisers London correspond
ent cables today as follows: Though
the three governments desire to expe-
dite matters in the arrangements of the
personnel of the Samoan commission,
it will probably require some weeks TO
settle the preliminaries, with Washing
ton, the seat of the deliberations. Fore
seeing long and remote investigation
and subsequent negotiations, the Eng
lish foreign Office is especially anxious
to arrange a modus vivendi for tenn
porary administration that will also
avert further embarrassing proceedings
by the admirals and consuls on the
ground, of which, at Muscat and else
where, Lord Salisbury has recently had
unpleasant experience. This desire
sufficiently explains the cautious Brit
iSh acceptance OF the commission.
Word comes from Berlin that the new
German representative now en- route
to Samoa, carries restraining hints to
. German traders there. The German
foreign Office also finds precedent In
Bismarck's condemnation Of acts Of the
German consul ten years ago in Samoa
that will aid it in dealing now with
Raffal and Rose and in soothing SEN
sitive German opinion. The ultimate
German aim is a friendly division OF
the islands, to which proposition off,
cial Berlin believes America will no,
object, il it's coaling station il secured
Angry German attacks are aimed
now more at England than America
and come mainly from irresponsible
journals. Allowance must be made
for German supersensitiveness over
. colonial commercial rivalries.

WILL COMMENC
ACTIVE CANVASS
FOR SITE FUNDS
Alameda Out With a
Challenge.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

sos Broadway, Oct. q.
Money for the purchase of a site upon
which to build the free library is coming
in very slowly. Up to date only $1,000 has
been pledged, and the lowest amount con-
sidered necessary is $30000 For the mast
two weeks nothing whatever has been
heard of the project. No meeting has
been called and nothing has been done
publicly.
q. Russell Lukens. who took the initia-
tive in organizing the site fund commit
tee, says that some of the members havs
been out of town and that accounts for
the apparent lack of energy They have
now returned and the matter is to be
taken up in earnest
There is still an opinion prevalent In
some quarters that 1t would be better to
place the library to be built with Mr..
squares. j. H. w. Sohst, a director of
the Merchants Exchange, has made puh-
lie his reasons why the library should
be placed on Lincoln square. Some of the
City Councilmen also favor this idea.
which seems to be advanced more be-
cause 1t would do away with the neces-
sity for raising money to purchase q site
than for any other reason.
1t is about concluded that the matter
shall be left to the. Board of Library
Trustees and they shall select a site ana
first heard Of much haste was shown in
every direction, but for the past month
little has been heard of the matter Ala

ised by Mr., Carnegie that he will give
the final $4,000 toward the erection of any
building they may decide upon. has pro-
claimed that she will collect the neces-
sary money before Oakland, which has
had two months start. shall obtain the
money for her site. The manner In which
things are working at present has caused
Alamedans to declare that the odds are
now in their favor
1.-THE matter Is going along all right"
said G. Russell Lukens, land we shall as
soon as possible decide upon a plan of
canvassing that will include the whole
city. At present over $1,000 has been prom
ised mostly in large amounts. This Is
not matter, however, which could be
attended to by a few people Everybody
should consider 1t privilege to subscribe
toward a handsome free library, and the
work of obtaining subscriptions should be
so arranged that everybody would be
given an opportunity to subscribe. In
a few days this matter will be we'll un-
der way. We are losing nothing by do
ing a little thinking as we proceed. and
may say that many available sites have
already been thought about by those In
terested in the matter, though of course
nothing definite has been decided upon"

Track Notes.
Miles Finlen, the wealthy mineowner
and horseman of Butte, Mont, was a.
spectator at the track yesterday. Mr.
Finlen is the owner of the useful per-
former Lucky Star and over a year ago
was credited with cleaning up 800, 900 when
that horse won at Chicago. c. Christy
mining man of Anaconda and a lover
of the horse, is also here on brief So
journ.
When Rio Chico won his race Willie
Sink had to stand a 5000 raise. Entered
for $500 the geding was boosted to $4O0 by
Johnny CaVanaugh, acting for Book

Dan Dennison is expected almost any

Negligence was overflow1ng with speed

81 RIGADIER GENERAL AND
lO MRS. FREDERICK FUN
II STON We're rendered a recep-
~ ton at Ebell Hall this after
noon, to which Oakland society, despite
the frownings Of the clouds. turned out
en masse. The affair was the first large
function given by the Ebell Society
this season and was extremely fash
ionable.
The hall. under the direction OF the
Misses Crellin. was most beautifully
decorated for the occasion. sMosses OF
cosmos and ferns were employed to
brighten the scene, and flags lent
patriotic and military tone. the ma
tional colors being draped about the
, platform, while smaller standards
hung from the walls. The vari-colored
gowns OF the ladies, contrasted with
the more somber dress of the many
gentlemen present to help welcome the
Kansas hero, made the scene most
brilliant. The hall was darkened and
the gas lighted.
At o'clock, the hour for the begin
ming of the reception, General and
Mrs. Funston arrived, accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Blankart and Mrs.
w. o. Cullen, the parents and sister
Of Mrs. Funston. They were escorted
by Mrs Roland P. Gleason, president
of Ebell, to a place near the platform.
where they were presented in turn to
the guests, the receiving party con-
sisting of General and Mrs. Funston.
Mrs. Cullen, Mrs. Gleason and Mrs.
Vernon Waldron.
The general reception committee for
the society consisted of Mrs. w. A
