boat Pheasant and the Badger went to
Malietoa today to disarm the Mataafans,
who have 1000 rifles. The commission

their arms Malietoa Tanu will then dis
arm his followers and the sailors will

1t has been simplified and strong econ
omical measures have been adopted. New

Rose, the German consul, will also leave
soon. The question of indemnity is being
considered. 1t is estimated at $200,000
The kingship is still under discussion. it
may be decided to abolish the Office and

Negotiations Proceeding.

London, June IA high authority of
the colonial office has informed the Asso-
ciated Press that negotiations with refer
ence to the Alaskan situation are in the
rosiest possible condition after the inter-
view which United States Ambassador
Choate had yesterday with the Marquis
of Salisbury at the foreign Office. The
lines of a prospective settlement and for
carrying on a discussion in the high COM
mission will be formally submitted by
the secretary of state for the colonies,
Joseph Cha mberlain, who throughout
had a most potent influence with the
Canadian side. Every arrangement in
the negotiation between Choate, Sails
bury and Pauncefote has gone through
him, and the prospective settlements in
a great degree may be considered tl1-
umph for Chamberlain's tact and perse-
Yerance.

the three consuls and the chief justice
were to be relieved. The intentions Of
the British and German governments as
to their own consuls are known only at

there is no intention on the part of our
own authorities to remove him. AS to
Chief Justice Chambers, the Samoan
commission so far has had no power to
remove him. He can be deposed only
through complaint formally preferred by
one party to the treaty and found sufli-

A NEW BANANA
COMBINATION

New York, June 1.-THE Tribune says:
1t is learned on good authority that the
rumors which have been going around to
the effect that the so-called banana trust
is soon to have a rival, are founded on
facts. Negotiations looking to the for
nation of the new combination have been
under way but a few weeks only, but it
is stated that within three or four days
this new combination will be launched
and ready to do business The work of
organization is said to have been unex-
pectedly successful, and meetings will be
held next Monday in several cities of the
United States, at which will be tal,en
steps toward perfecting the scheme
The new venture is described as being
a combination for protection" and not
in any sense a trust. Banana dealers say
a fruit trust is impossible, because of
the perisha BILE nature of the goods The
new combination has been in contempla-
ton ever since the United Fruit COM
pany, or banana trust,' was ncorpo-
rated last January. When that company
was formed the Bluefields company of
Mobile and New Orleans was not in
cluded. The latter company did not like
the terms offered and kept out. 1t
planned the rival combination, and the
present fruit war; is the result of the
planning. The banana dealers say the
price of West Indian fruit will not be
changed if the new combination goes
through. They have found from experi-
ence that when bananas go below a cer-
tain point people do not consider them
worth buying. The new combination, it
is understood, will send its agents prin-
cipally to territory not controlled by the
present combination, and save expenses
IN these places.
