SAMOAN TREATY
NOW IN EFFECT
Signatures Affixed to
the Document.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, WELL1NG-
TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON. Dec. q
Secretary Hay. Lord Pauncefote and Herr
Won Holleben, on behalf Of their re-
spective governments, to-day signed the
treaty for the partition OF Samoa. The
ceremony took place in the diplomatic
room OF the State Department There
was no preliminary discussion, as the
three officials agreed eli Wednesday last
TO the text OF the convention and a COM
parison was made at the department yes
terday or the German and English texts.
Inc treaty was signed IN triplicate, Sec
retary Hay affiXing his signature first to
the American copy, the German Embas-
sador being followed by Lord Pauncefote.
The German ambassador signed the
German copy first, the British Embassa-
DOR and Secretary Hay signing in the
order named, and finally the British copy
was signed. Lord Pauncefote first affiS-
Ing his signature and German and Ameri-
can representatives following him.
The treaty will be submitted to the Sen
ate after the President submits his an
nual message, in which will be incorpo-
rated q paragraph referring in congratu
latory terms TO the conclusion of the con-
dominium and the advantages which the
United states has obtained by the parti-
uon OF the Samoan group.
As has been repeatedly stated, the
treaty provides: First-That all treaties
IN existence between the signatory pow
ers relative to the Samoan Islands are alb
Iogated. Second-That Great Britain and
Germany cede to the United States all
their rights and claims to the islands
east OF the one hundred and seventy-frst
degree or longitude, including Tutuila and
subsidiary Islands. and Great Britain and
tne United States cede to Germany all
their rights and claims to the islands
west or the one hundred and seventy-hrst
degree OF longltude-Savaii and Upolu.
flnally' the signatory powers should con-
tinue TO enjoy for commercial purposes
all privileges possessed by the sovereign
power In the ports opened TO them.
FROM what / was able to learn to-day
the signing OF the treaty is the end to-
ward which the administration has been
working Tor year-ever since the dis
pute arose as to the successor OF Malietoa
as King of Samoa. The President and
Secretary Hay have been anxious TO
withdraw from an alliance so entangling
in character and filled with complications
ana consequently when the negotiations
Tor the partition of Samoa began in Sep
tember they were only too willing TO con-
sent 10 the abrogation OF the Berlin
treaty. provided American rights were
Iully protected. The administration be-
ileVes that ratification of the treaty will
be obtained. though IL is expected thar
the anu-imperialists will make strong
nSht against il, and especially in view OF
the great advantages which this Govern
ment has obtained. particularly in the
matter or the acquisition of Pago Pago
described by naval officers as the finest
harDor IN the South Pacific.

WERE FIREMEN WHEN
THE CITY WAS YOUNG
ANNIVERSARY OF ORGANIZING
A PAID DEPARTMENT.
Veterans Gather at Banquet and
Tell of Times When They Ran
With the "Old Masheen."

Thirty-three years ago last night the
San Francisco paid fire department was
organized and a few weeks later the old
volunteer brigade that figured so promi-
nently in the history Of pioneer days went
out of existence. The event was cele-
brated by the second annual banquet OF
the Veteran Firemen's Association held
at a well-known rotisserie, at which near
ly one hundred vets taxed the walters
patience and retold anecdotes of old
times.
The banquet was declared at the begin
ming. by President Kennard, to be devoid
OF all cold formality and his idea was car
ried out, even TO the dispensing of the
merry crowd some time this morning TO
the music of "A Hot Time" For two
hours the veterans and a few who were
not vets struggled manfully with the
menu, which by freak of fate was
printed in French. Director Truman ex-
planned that the Partisan flavor to the
souvenir card was not his speciality but
his expression OF confidence that no mat
ter how the courses were named the vet
erans would acquit themselves yaliantly
in attacking proved to be we'll grounded.
Crevette, pomme Duchesse, canard, chou
heur au gratin, dinde farcis and fromage
proved TO be as acceptable TO the white
headed men who, generation ago
grasped rope and ran with the old ma
chine, as II they were just plain duck DO
tato, turkey and cheese.
Whenever interest Jagged for an in
slant some one suggested that another
hose be unrol1ed.'' and If the walters in
their desire TO be diligent cheated Uncle
Sam out OF few war stamps 1t was not
their fault
Several OF the vets made short speeches.
and led by the band songs were frequent

Minnie Adams Wants New Trial.

Argument on motion for a new trial
for Minnie Adams. convicted OF the mur-
der of her infant son. John Richard
Gray. was continued before Judge Lawlor
yesterday. The defense claims that as
the jury remained one night in the OrieI
Hotel and was necessarily divided
through the fact that no room in the
house contained twelve beds. 1t is ground
for a new trial. They claim that d.
vision OF the jury is not permissible un-
der the law and that hence the defendant
should be granted a new trial.

sorry looking sights as they slipped
around in the mud and rain on their way
to breakfast. The regiment was paid
yesterday forenoon and we were glad to
get the money.
r. There are all sorts of rumors flying
around as to what we are going to do, but
it is generally believed that we will move
forward soon, or that some movement will
be made to corral the Filipinos, in front
of us at %Paranaque or some place near
there and then let the fleet play on them.
Sunday. March 10. We are still in
the trenches. 1t just stopped raining
yesterday. We had quite a seige of it,
audit was no fun | can tell you. The
niggers keep peppering away at us, but
don't do much damage. We arc trans
ferred to General Kings brigade. |
understand it will consist of the LIST Cali
%fornias, the Washingtons and the North
Dakotas. We will be apt to see some
more fighting now, and are expecting to
have d new position on the line in a few
days. General Lawton relieves General
Anderson, and is our division commander.
Wheaton's brigade is still out in front
but otherwise we have done little. How
ever there is something in the wind.
What the change will be | do not know.
St. Patrick's day was we'll celebrated
here as VIC had just been visited by the
paymaster a day or so before, but it is
over now.
Lieut.. Osborn was sick in quarters for a
while but is out again and is now in COM
mand of the company. Sergt. Aud,
Harry Klincfclter, Sam Smiley and Ear
nest Cornell, are still at the hospital, but
none of them are seriously i'll. Corporal
Skeen is acting as sergeant in Auld's
place and Harold Davis has charge of
one Of the squads.
We all hope this affair will soon be
ended and that we will be given an op-
p~ortunity to get back to America.
Yesterday | was in Manila. Every
thing looks peaceful enough there. But
the rumble in the air reminds one that
there is trouble outside. IN
Uncle Sam has some big mules here and
army wagons. The mules look like ele-
plants OF the Escolta, when compared
to the native horse. l saw a four-mule
team come down the street drawing a
load of bareback. The boxes we're piled
high above the wagon-box making quite
a large looking load. You ought to have
seen the Spaniards and natives stand and
stare and say, "Moocha Grande," they
are not used to seeing work done on that
scale.
We will probably go into quarters a
week from tomorrow and do seven days
guard duty. Each company goes in for a
week. Co. l goes in tomorrow and we
are next on the list.
Yesterday we received mail from the
U. S.; it was very welcome. received a
copy of the PRESS dated Feb. 4.
There has been very little firing today.
Perhaps the niggers are resting over
Sunday; all days are alike to us.
The American loss now is about go

North Dakota Volunteers all Riuht.

In a recent issue of the Freedom, pub
lished at Manila, appeared the following
letter: +,
In the Frisco papers which came by
the last mail, special mention was made
of the work done by the I4th. Init on the
9Th Feb, but nothing was said of the N.
D. Volunteers. This is not treating the
boys of that gallant organization fairly.
They were on the right flank OF the I4th
in the hottest of the fight and they GER
tainly deserve praise for the way they ac-
quilted themselves. They charged just
as gallantly and fought just as heroically
as did the I4th, and if the I4th won lau-
rels on that memorable day, they more
than won %laurels, handicapped as they
were with long toms. Being soldiers, we
cannot without Il murmur, receive all the
credit for Il victory that was equally
shared by those brave volunteers. When
the history Of battle is written no I4th
man will object if the name of the North
Dakotas is placed above ours.
Our only prayer at present is: O, Gene
raj, we beseech thee to arm the North
Dakotas with Krag Jorgenscns; CONSOLE
date them and the I4th lnfy. as the Vol
untecr Regulars Flying Squadron, or n
old thing; send US to the oft taken city of
%Paranaque on Il missionary trip. Leave
our reputation there to guard and police
the city. Then send us to the final Ball
at Malolos. Try us then, and see If we
are found waning, and then, o.. General,
and not till then will we be willing to go
home. A I4th REGULAR.
