AN ENGLISH VIEW.
How the Situation Looks to One of the
.TThunderer's" Writers.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-The Times in a spe
cial article this morning dealing with af-
fairs in Samao, after pointing out that
when the central American ship canal is
completed, the possession of Pago Pago
harbor, incomparably the safest in the en-
tire Pacific, will become a world important
question:" says: The decision of Chief JUS
tice Chambers that the Berlin act disquali-
fled Mataafa must be accepted with consd-
erable reserve, for that act expressly re-
serves to the Samoans the free right to elect
their king and to choose their form OF gov
ernment. This right has been solemniy rec
ognized by the three powers. The only OBJ
stacle to Mataafa's election appears to be
the promise wrested from him before he was
permitted to leave the Marshall islands to
renounce participation :E Samoan politics.
This remuneration evidently owed its origin
to Germany, yet Germany now champions
Mataafa Nobody acquainted with the ISL
ands can be surprised that the islanders up
hold Mataafa. The astonishing thing about
the whole business, apart from the German
volte face, Great Britain and the United
States should have consented while the
throne was yet vacant. to allow such fire
brand to be thrown among the smoldering
embers of Samoan disaffection The part the
United States have played in the matter
must be considered in connection with Pres
ident McKinley's last message to Congress.
It must be forgotten that these islands were,
so long ago as 1872, a cherished object in
the eyes of American expansionists, and
even now Samoa is a word to conjure with
throughout many Western States. The pres
ent situation will not be devoid of benefit,
if it serves to convince the three powers
that the Berlin act requires immediate and
radical amendment, in default of which
Samoa will always be liable to become the
prey of civil war and source of anxiety
to the signatory powers. 1t may even be-
as was nearly the case ten years ago, the
theater of hostilities between two of their
number.

AUCKLAND, N. T., Jan. 19.-Further par
ticulars regarding the disturbances at Sa-
moa show Mataafas followers numbered
about 5000 men and that the adherents of
Malietoa Tanus were only about 1000 in
number. There was two hours fighting be-
tween the rival forces, during which sew
eral of the warriors were decaptated The
American consul issued a proclamation
claiming that the Berlin treaty had tn
same effect as law of Congress, and that
an insult to the Supreme Court of Samoa is
therefore, equivalent to an insult to the
government at Washington.
LONDON, Jan. ia special dispatch
from Auckland says the British and Amer
lean consuls were compelled to force the
doors of the Supreme Court at Apia, Samoa,
in which the German consul had established
himself, and to push him into the street.
All parties at Apia, the special dispatch
continues, unite in condemning the German
consul for the lighting which has taken
place between the rival kings. 1t is pointed
out that in violation of all agreements the
consul accompanied Mataafa's forces when
the claimant invaded the town and encour-
aged the opposition to Malietoa Tanus
When the British and American consul.

journed the court and locked the building
The German consul then demanded the
keys, which we're refused him. He then
broke open the doors, removed the locks
and replaced them with others. He after
ward brought the German municipal presi-
dent into the chamber, and the latter went
upon the balcony and shouted to the British
marines assembled on the square,
Il am the Supreme Court. 1 am the chief
Justice
The crowd replied with jeers and the Brit
ish consul demanded the keys of the build
ing, which were refused. A Scotchman
named Mackie thereupon climbed on top of
the building and hoisted the Samoan flag
while the British and American consuls and
a number of marines invaded the building
forced the doors open and pushed the Ger
man consul into the street. Then the two
consuls, formally and legally, according to
the special dispatch, opened the court and
issued warning against any further inter-
ference with it's jurisdiction, threatening to
arrest and imprison any one attempting to
do So Matters, the dispatch concludes are
now quiet and the German consul remains
in his consulate.
WELLINGTON, N. H., Jan. 19-It is re-
ported here that, owing to the trouble at
Samoa, growing out of the election of a sue
cessor to the late King Malietoa, three
British war ships will proceed there, and
that one American war ship will start for
! the islands from Honolulu.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. Ex-senator
Quay made the following statement this
afternoon before returning To Washington:
Il am going to Washington to attend TO
some official matters that require my at
tentiOn. The situation here, as far as the
United States senatorship is concerned, is
entirely satisfactory to me. / am CRATE
full to the Republican members of the Legis-
lature who honored me with unanimous
nomination for reelection and appreciate
the action of all those who stood solidly by
the action of the caucus. I have not the
slightest doubt of my election My friends
have a thorough and perfect organization,
and am satisfied to leave the management
of my canvass in their hands during my
absence"
Attorney General Elkin, who will look
after Mr.. Quay's canvass during his alb
sence. says Senator Brown and Representa-
tive Weaver, who were absent to-day and
not voting, are home on account OF illness.
and that they can be counted on to stand
by Senator Quay. ''These two, with the Ill
votes cast in the balloting to-day" MIR.
Elkin added, make 113 votes for Senator
Quay already on record. There has not
been a loss since the balloting began, and
we have gains when we wish to call for
them
When the Senate and House met to-day
to ballot for a United States senator, Mr..
Dixon, of Elk, again offered his resolution
of yesterday prescribing a series of rules

GRANT STILL IN LEAD.
Received Twenty-Seven Votes Yester-
day-The Bribery Investigation.


SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 19.-The first
break in the senatorial deadlock was made
on the twenty-second ballot, when Bulla
gained four votes and Barnes one. The
forces of Grant and Burns stand firmly by
their respective candidates, the gains that
went to Bulla and Barnes coming from the
lesser lights of the senatorial contest. The
twenty-second and twenty third ballots
were as follows: Grant, 27; Burns, %; Bulla,
10; Barnes, H. Scott O. Bard, 2: Estee, /;
FELTON,, /; Rosenfeldt, /; s. NJ White, 81.
The committee appointed to investigate
the senatorial candidates met again to-day.
The first witness to be called was U. s.
Grant but he was not in the room. L. II.
Brown denied that he had tried. to intimi-
date legislators who had refused to vote for
Burns. He had discussed the senatorial sit
uation with Messrs. Raw, Raub and Nc
Donald, of the Assembly, but had made no
effort to intipidate them. Brown was
cused, and Hugh Burke, of the San Fran
cisco Call took the stand Burke stated
that he had had an interview with Milton
J. Green, in which Green had told him that
money had been given to Speaker Wright
to aid in his campaign Wright, the witness
said, had threatened witness to expel the
representatives of the Call from the floor
of the Assembly unless the vilihcations of
the Call ceased.

nominated for United States senator by a
caucus of the Republican field candidates

agreement the nomination is considered
practically equivalent to election, as two

were unable to win. Little had within two
votes of the number necessary on one ballot,
but could gain no more, and then Joined

senatorial fight has been one of the most
remarkable in the history of the State. The

beaten.

BERLIN, Jan 19.-The news from Samoa
has been received with foreboding. The Lo-
kal Anzeiger says: "All this, doubtless, sig
nifes an appreciable quarrel. and, with the
unceremoniousness which the Americans
have affected lately toward us, it may easily
take a serious turn. The Samoan tripartite
agreement has always involved a lurking
danger"
The Vossische Zeitung says: THE situa
ton will become even graver when the
American war ship arrives at Apia. 1t is
said that the Washington Department of
State has instructed the United States con-
sui general there. l.. w. Osborne, not to
trust the German consul. Evidently the
United States, who are least interested in
Samoa among the three powers do not mean
to respect Germany's paramount interests.
Germany will have to show firmness all the
more so. as our position is made the worse
by the evident desire of England to help the
United States, so as to retain the latters

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The Navy De-

Philadelphia to proceed to Samoa at once
to represent the United States interests
there. The Philadelphia is due at San Diego
next Sunday from. Acapulco. Meanwhile,
If any vessel more available can be found

of the United States consul, so far as those
instructions are in line with the treaty of
Berlin, which the United States contends
must be literally enforced until amended. 1t
would take the Philadelphia about sixteen
days to make the run from San Diego to
Apia, touching at Honolulu for coal. One
resource open to the Navy Department is to
send the Oregon to Samoa She left Callao
on the 18th inst. and should reach Honolulu
about the 9th of February, where she can
be intercepted with orders sent by the dis
patch boat Iroquois now at San Francisco.
The big battle ship Iowa is due at San
Francisco just about the same date that the
Oregon is due at Honolulu, so that the Pa
ciic coast will not be left entirely without
naval force.
1t was stated at the Department of State
to-day that dispatches had been received
from United States Consul Osborne at Apia
but as to their nature the officials had moth
ing to say beyond that they went to con-
firm the news dispatches printed this morn
ing. Admiral Kautz, the commander of the
Pacific station, is now on board his flagship

Navy Department that he would accompany
that ship to Samoa.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Jan. 19.-Admiral
Kautz landed to-day at Coronado from the

ordering his vessel to Samoa. He said no
such orders had yet reached him, and that
il they did it was doubtful if the vessel
would be sent on long voyage in view of
her present condition, which he would make
known to the department. Besides, he said
her bottom is very foul and needs cleaning
and repainting very badly, as the speed of
the ship is reduced at least two knots there
by. But if, however the department in
sisted on her going she would have to go
first to the dry dock at San Francisco. A

said, would be a great benefit to the navy

up Admiral Kurtz said the most important
item of news he had learned was the great
desire of the people of Nicaragua and Costa
