ALL POINTS TO Be
FAIRLY ADJUSTED
Excitement Over Samoa
Dying Out.
Copyrighted, 1899, by the Associated Press.


BERLIN, April 22.-The excitement
over the Samoan question has almost
died out, and the general expectation is
that all the points at variance will now
be amicably and fairly adjusted by the
special commission. Some of the lead
ing papers, in their desire for fairness,
even print communications from mem
bers of the British mission at Samoa,
controverting some of the statements
of DR.. Raffel, the German president of
the Municipal Council at Apia, regard
ing the relations of Tanu and Chief
Justice Chambers with the mission
aries.
The Vossische Zeitung, referring to
the utterances of DIR. Lohr in present
ing the Samoan Interpolation in the
Reichstag, said: TT clearly seems
there is jinjo element in German pol
itics"
The Alldeutsche Verband made
weak demonstration by passing a reso-
luton to the effect that it's members
expected the Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs, Baron Won Bulow, to stick to his
declarations and see that neither Ger
many's treaty rights nor the national
honor is in any way sacrificed at Sa-
moa."
The demonstration Of the German
Americans at. Chicago against the
American British treaty or alliance is
discussed in the press, even the semi
official organs devoting considerable
space to the matter. In one of several
editorials the Post says: THE direc-
tion of the American policy will not be
influenced thereby, even if a small mi
nority makes the conflict of their hearts

the Americans consider their interests

so as to enable them to follow him.
Esenschimel next took up what he
called sections in the writing of the
name ''MurdOck," showing that Will
liam Murdock made from three to five
sections, while the writer of the sigma
ture to the note made it in six sections.
Attorney Freeman at one time init
mated that witness was Intentionally
passing one of the Photographic cards,
for the reason that the measurement
was not in accordance with the point
the expert was endeavoring to make.
The witness resented the insinuation.
General Barnes came to the rescue by
asking the court to put a stop 10 any
discussion between the counsel and
witness. His Honor stamped out the
little blaze with very small effort and
all was we'll again.
The defense has two more experts to
examine and then, it claims. it will

wore a tulle veil and carried a bouquet
of Bermuda lilies. The maid of honor
was richly gowned in pink silk and the
bridesmaids in dresses of white and
green silk. At the conclusion of the
ceremony the couple were surrounded
by a host of friends and showered with
congratulations. The guests then de-
parted in carriages to the residence of
the brides parents, where a. wedding
breakfast was served. The pair were
the recipients of many costly presents.
Miss Edna Rodden's popularity is
best estimated from the fact that with
out any effort on the part Of her friends
she was unanimously selected from
among a large number of beautiful
girls to be the queen of the rose festi-
val proposed last summer, a project
ultimately abandoned for various rea>
sons.
Mr.. Martin is one of Nevada's pros

therefore appeal to their adopted coun-
try not to put them in a situation where
they would be obliged to fight their
fatherland. The result, so far as the
German Americans are concerned,
would only be an intensification of the
bitter feeling belonging at the same
time to two countries, while the Amer

upon this measure of patriotism. heart
and intellect reflects on whether it
pays to catch the Dutch vote
Another editorial in the Post says it
is hoped the movement of the German
Americans may show the Americans
that the two countries ought to be and
might be friends, referring to magazine
articles of Senator Davis and others to
the same purpose.

Wedding Bells Ring Out
at San Rafael.
Special DISPATCH to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL. April PA romance
which had its inception at Lake Tahoe
last summer came to a happy climax
at noon to-day in the marriage of Miss
Edna ROdden, one of the local society s
fairest bellies, to Harry NJ. Martin of
Reno. New.
The ceremony was performed at the
Presbyterian church on Fifth avenue
and Z street Rev. DIR. Mackenzie of
San Francisco officiating. The interior
of the edifice had been transformed into
a floral bower, and the youthful couple
clasped hands under a huge wedding
bell of roses while the words were pro-
nounced which made them one. The
bride was given away by her father,
Judge George Rodden. Edmund Stadt-
muller of San Francisco acted as best
man and the Misses Anna and Gertrude
Martin, sisters of the groom, as brides
maids. Another sister, Miss Clara
Martin, was maid of honor. The ush-
ers were Dr. George Rodden of San
Francisco. a brother of the bride; Roy
Baker of Oakland, John Mcdonald and
William L. Corrigan.
The wedding march from "Lohen-
grin" was played by Miss Flora Nc
Donald Graham, while Miss Maude
Fav college classmate of Miss Rod
den. sang during the performance of
the ceremony A unique and pleasing
feature of the occasion was the intro
duction of little Lewis Raphael Corri-

bride, as ring bearer. The precocious
youngster proudly took his place, bear
ing the ring upon an embroidered satin
cushion, into the covering of which had
