WASHINGTON. Nov. lO.-The urgent

the secretary of the navy. He relates
the dific ultles encountered during the

ships. While these efforts were success.

found by Admiral Cervera.

A study Of Bradstreet's quotations
show that prices and cost OF living have
greatly increased in the past quarter
year, the general rise being 8 per cent.
During the first two quarters of the
year the advance was : per cent, but the
advance in the third quarter exceeded
the total OF the first two by n per cent.
OF course, some things have risen more,
some less. Coffee, sugar and mutton

Partition of Samoa Not Complete with.
out This stop.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-The partition
Of the Samoan group Of islands, as re.
ported from Berlin, marks the close of
a long standing source Of international
controversy and also brings about new
territorial arrangements in the South
Pacific. In the early stage of negotia.
tions it was agreed that the United
States should have the island Of Tutu-
liza, with its valuable harbor Of Page
Pago, and the lesser islands off its coast,
including the large islet of Manuu. The
negotiations then shifted to London to
determine whether Germany or Great
Britain should retain the two remain.
ing islands, Upolu and Savii. The ma.
ture Of these later negotiations have
been constantly communicated tc
Washington and it has been known for
some days that in case Great Britain
retired from Samoa Germany would
give as part compensation the large
Solomon islands Of Isabel and Choiseul.
These are near the British possessions
in Australasia, being east of New
Guinea. They are twice the size OF the
Samoan group, but the country is
mountainous and the people warlike,
many being cannibals.
The senate Must Rat,fy.
Whatever plan Great Britain and
Germany might agree upon it was slip.
ulated that it should be first submitted
to the ratification of the United States.
1t was necessary as the change pro-
posed could be made only by formal
treaty which would require the ap-
prevail of the senate.
1t is believed that the arrangement
proposed now will be satisfactory to
the state department. The United
States is not concerned with the amount
or character of the compensation that
passes between the other nations. Be.
sides retaining the coaling station of
Pago Pago, acquiring the island Of Tu-
tulia, wherein the harbor is located,
and the three or four small islets in
the vicinity, the United States will
continue to enjoy by stipulation the
privilege Of trading with Apia under
conditions equally as favorable as those
now existing. The islets referred to
are not Of any particular Importance
from q commercial point Of view, but
it is deemed essent, Il to control them
politically in order to prevent Snug.

While more men find employment than
a year ago, wages have not increased
with the cost Of living and this will have
a tendency to curtail purchases and re-
duce prices. An index OF this is found
in the increased purchase Of the cheaper
foreign goods, Our imports in September
being over s7O,OOO,OOO, the largest in any
normal month since October, 1895, and
though our exports are of larger value
than ever before yet the trade balance in
our favor is less than a year ago. A
temporary prosperity forced by war is
not all gain by any means. The waste
has to be atoned for some time and the
reaction Will come sooner or later.

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1899-01-10

The Dunlap Herald makes feature
OF The news of four countess Judg-
ing from the news from Crawford this
matter is clipped from exchanges and
rewritten without credit being given.
This is not the proper thing, brother
Herald, your idea is a good one but
your newspaper etiquette is trife out
OF date. In this rewriting queer mis-
takes sometimes occur. Last week the
REVIEW requested any person having
been swindled by lightning rod agents
to send us information concerning it.
UP to this time no one has responded.
The Herald evidently Tewrites the re-
quest for information saying Several
Crawford county farmers have been
victimized by lightning rod swindlers."
The facts seem to be just the contrary.
OF course some may have been swindled
but not the people who have the good
sense to read the Great and Only.
