Mr.. Smith declared that American news
papers far surpassed foreign journals in
respect to enterprise and vigor. He
thought that we were prone to over-eager-

in fair judgment. That is an error, he
said, from which we shall emancipate our

Interstate Commerce Commission to
Investigate Them.
New York, April 14.-Leonards Railway
News will say tomorrow:
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has decided to institute an investigation
into the present export rate situation and
The manipulation of low export tariffs that
is now being resorted to by the east-bound
lines to Newport News, Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and other Atlantic seaboard ports,
on export grain.
This announcement is made on the au-
thority Of Hon. Martin 1. Knapp, chair
man of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, who was in this city to-day, Accord
ing to Judge Knapp, the commission has
reached the decision that il was advisable
that action should be taken without delay
regarding the excessively low rates put In
by the Western lines on export tariff, while
the domestic rates on the same commodity
remain unchanged.
The commission will at once formulate
complaints against all the roads interested
in the export grain movement calling upon
them to answer, and this will be followed
by an investigation which will be con-
Quoted in the principal cities of the East
and West. The officials of the interested
INES, as well as the principle grain ship
pers OF the country, viii be examined.
The proposed investigation opens up the
relationships between export and domestic
gram rates, and 1t is known that the
commission is opposed to the principle of
cheaper rate on export grain rates as
against higher domestic rdte, the affair
assumes considerable importance.

German Party Made Itself Ridicu-
IOuS-VOn BueIOw's Speech Fell
FIat-Germany's Treaty Rights in
Samoa to BE UpheId-The Samoan
Commission Preparing TO Sail.
Berlin, April 14.-The minister of foreign
affairs, Baron Won Buelow, announced in
the Reichstag to-day that an agreement
had been arrived at with Great Britain
with regard to sending a commission to
Samoa.
The Interpolation on Samoa was pre-
scented by DIR. Lehr. an Extremist Pan-Ger-
man, and was replied to by the minister
of foreign affairs, Baron Won Buelow. The
whole affair was looked upon as a fizzle
and lasted only eighty minutes.
There was a slim attendance of members,
but the galleries were crowded. The
United States embassy was represented at
the session.
The opening speech of the Interpolation,
to which the minister of foreign affairs
had previously agreed 10 reply, was not
success, and il was afterward said that the
signers of the Interpolation Numbered in
entrusting it's presentation to DIR. Lehr,
The latter, contrary to agreement made
strong references to economic matters in
arguing against the American and Brit
ish attitude in Samoa, limiting that Ger
many would fight both countries, econo-
nnically, if thwarted politically. The party
leaders, one after another, repudiated DR..

affairs fell fiat, and was hardly applaud
ed at the end. He emphasized Germanys
adherence to the Samoan act, the rear
rangement of which, he declared, was de-
sirable to the government.
Continuing the minister said the govern
ment knew nothing of the conflicts said
to have taken place between the Ameri-
can Admiral Kautz and the commander of
the German warship Fake.
Finally the minister announced that
Great Britain had agreed to the German
proposals 20 dispatch a commission to Sa-
moa, adding that Germany would only ac-
cept a settlement which would leave Ger
man rights and interests unimpaired. He
regarded the uncurtailed maintenance of
her treaty rights as a matter of national
honor.
Made Itself Ridiculous.
General surprise was felt when 1t was
discovered that DR.. Lehr was the only
speaker whose utterances developed the
motive of the Interpolation DIR. Lehr Is
known as the leader of the Alle-Deustche-
Verband. He was frequently interrupted
by cries, both from the left and center
especially when he referred to threat
ened economic measures against the
United States.
The general verdict at the end of the in
terpellation was that the Pan-German
party had rendered itself ridiculous.

INSTRUCTIONS TO COMMISSION.
Will Have Power Only to RECON-
mend Changes in the Treaty.


mend Changes in the Treaty.
Washington, April 14-After hearing this
morning from the British and German en-
bassies. the state department was
enabled to announce positively and finally
that the three parties 10 the Berlin treaty
had agreed upon the Instructions to be
given their Samoan commissioners, and
that 1t was certain that the commission
would leave San Francisco on April % for
Samoa, on the Badger.
The instructions TO the commissioners are
identical, the three governments having
accepted a form which compromises the
differences that have existed up to this
point The commission will be empowered
to deal with the situation as it finds Ii in
the Samoan Islands upon its arrival. This
applies TO acts necessary to place the af-
fairs of the islands in a peaceful and sat
isfactory condition for tie time being.
Whatever the commission does in this d.
rection is understood to be Of a temporary
character and subject to the approval Of
the three powers.
AS to the merits of the bitter contro-
versy between the representatives of the
Powers on the island which led up to the
unfortunate outbreak of April /, the COM
missioners are expected TO make a thor
ough, impartial investigation and report
tne results 10 tneir respective govern
ments The latter will, by ordinary dip
lomatic exchange, apply any corrections
that seem to be necessary.
The commissioners will have no power
TO alter the treaty of Berlin. They may
make recommendation 10 that end ana
where they are unanimous II Is probable
that their recommendations may be ac-
cepted for changes in the treaty
AT the British and German embassies.
the Samoan commission Is considered SET
tied beyond further question, and all at
ten1on is now being given TO the departure
Of the commissioners.
