Action Of the Powers ~ Ceasimg Hos
tilities Compltcates Matters.
WELLINGTON, N. H., May 4.-Advices
from Somoa indicate that the instruc.
lions from the powers to cease hostili'
ties makes the situation in the islands
very serious, rs the rebels hold the
main food supplies and are again near
Apia. The Reuter- correspondent
thinks it is evident that the home an
thorities misunderstood, the situation
in Samoa. The Germans and rebels
are again jubilant, and claim victory
over the British and American forces.
The correspondent says that unless
the rebels are made to submit, the
difficulties will remain unsolved. The
white people in the outskirts of the
city are at the mercy Of the rebels.
The British and American residents
all strongly condemn the action of the
powers in ordering cessation OF hos.
tilities at this stage.

COUNTRY RULED BY WOMEN.

America that longs for equal suffrage
might gain their desires by emigrating
across the seas to the little country
hemmed in by the Alps. A whole town
In the Swiss mountains has suddenly
come under petticoat government. This
Is in the Canton Ticino, where stern
necessity required that the women
should be allowed to vote. So many
Of the men had emigrated to seek for
work that the municipality was with
out voters and could not make laws
and elect officers. The commune OF
Melano having especially suffered from
the dearth Of men, and all parish bust
ness having come to standstill. the
parish council has decreed that during
the months Of spring and summer the
emancipation Of women has become a
necessity for the discharge Of public
business; that, therefore, In default Of
deputies Of the male sex, each member
OF the parish council may De repre-
scented by q woman member of his own
household, the women having the same
right to vote as belonged to the duly
elected but mainly absentee council of
males. In consequence Of this measure
the commune Of Melano is 1t present
administered by council OF wives and
mothers. assisted by few aged men
and invalids, who are stated to form
the opposition. The liberal press Of
Ticino approves this new form Of gov
eminent, while the Catholic organs are
strongly opposed to it.
