ENGLAND AND SAMOA
British Governments Pdrf in
 Present Troubles.
Mutual Friend 10 inc United States and GCrmaDY-TO Unite inc Three Countries for Common Ends.

London, Jan. 26.-Great Brita is likely to play the part Of mutua, friend to the United States and Ger many in the settlement of the Samoan difficulty.
 The governments at Berlin and Lon don agree that the tripartite agree ment has not worked well, and the present troubles invite a revisicn. Presumably Washington holds the same view.
 British interest in Sam-a are rela- lively small, arising chiefly frcm the proximity Of the islands tci Australia sia England is cultivating the friend ship of the United ates and Germany hoping for a union of all three coun- tries, for various common ends. There fore it is prcbab,e that in the Samcan negotiations Englard will hold the balance even between German con mercial intare-ts and the United States rights.
 Little private information is to be obtained in LcndCn about the condi- tiOns in Samctab and no great interest in the present controversy is apparent. Students of continental politics re-. gard it as one more instance of Ger manyis two-fold colonial policy
 The kaiser and his ministers are vsry ambitiCus f colonial expansion. especially in the Pacific. They wish, however, to preserve c-rrect and pea eful relations with rival powers there
 G rman m ncr officials and me = chants abr-ad are eager to gratify the colonial ambitiors of their m:ste-s and public opinion at home, hence they risk such proceedings as tcose taken recently in Samoa and tho-e of the summer in the Phil ppines.
 If nc rival power opposes the ac- tiOn of his officials the kaiser app owes them, but if any objection is raised te becomes stiffiy correct and disavows respons 'bility, pronCuuc.ng t-e cct5 unauthorized.
 European gOver nments lave had ex- perience of this doub 20 icy of the kaiser, and they are net astcnished at the irritation displayed by the people of the United States on being treate1 to it.
 That Germany acquiesces in the con trCl by the United States of the Philip pines, providing a strong government is established in the islands, there no doubt but at the same time the kaiser seeks as an Cffses ai Ie-peni1g of the Samoa aus stion and a new ar rangement as to the control of t,Cse islands.

LOSE THEIR LEGACIEs.
Two Children of Robert Ray Hamilton
 Excluded By Court Orders.

New York, Jan 26-By a decision handed down by the appellate division of the supreme court today Beatrice Ray Hamilton, the child adopted by the late Robert Ray Hamilton after an in effectual attempt had been made to fofst it on him as his own, will lose the annual income of $1,200 which was bequeathed to her in Hamilton's will
 Alexandria s. Hamilton, child of Schuyler " C. Hamilton, Jr., who was made a beneficiary in the testator's residuary estate in the decision of the lower court, also lest her legacy. The legacy to the adopted child in the will was charged against a certain property in Brooklyn, which since the making of the will, in 1890, has failed to pro duce the amount of the legacy. By the decision of the lower court this partic- ular legacy was transferred to the re- siduary estate, and in today's decision that ruling was reversed, and the amount was ordered to be charged against the Brooklyn property, as orig inally provided in the will.
 The testator, in his will, made the children of Schuyler V. c. Hamilton, Jr., his brother, the beneficiaries of his residuary estate, which consisted of several buildings in this city, but made no. provision whereby any child born subsequently could share in the e3- tate. Alexandria s. Hamilton was born shortly before the testator's death, in 1S9G. By the decision of the lower court she was made a beneficiary of the residuary esate, with her sisters Gertrude Ray and Violet Irving, who were named in the will. By today's decision the absence in the will Of any clause naming her as an actual bene- f1ciary, the testator having before his death learned of her birth, is held to exclude her from any right to the es- tate, and the property is held to stand as beQueathed

DoUKHoBoRsKI REACH CANADA.
A Frist ShiplCad of 1000 of the Rus
 sian Sect Bound for Manitoba.

Halifax, Jan 26.-The steamship ? Lake Huron, with 2,0OO Russian Douk- hobOrski bound for the Canadian Northwest arrived this afternoon. The quarantine officers boarded the vessel iu response to the yellow flag at the foremast, but found that the ship had no contagious disease on board except a case of measles, which had been iso- lated. Ten deaths occurred on the voyage. A more careful examination will te made tomorrow, when the pas sengers will have to pass the health officers individually.
 When a clean bill of health is given the steamer will proceed to St. John, whence the Doukhoborski will be for warded west oy rail. The immigrants were met by Prince Hilkoff of Russia, who has been in Canada for some months. The DOukhoborski sang a psalm beginning, God is with us He has, brought Us through" and some of them impetuously kissed the prince When the singing was over Prince Hil- koff and J. Atkinson, a Quaker from Philadelphia, offered prayers. Then the singing broke out again.
 Prince Hilkoff said that he was sure the immigrants would make good homes for themselves in Canada They received proposals from the French government offering them free passage to colonies of that country, but they preferred to come under the British flag, believing that on British soil they would have fuller liherty than under the tri-color. They came to Canada paying their own expenses, but with the prospect of a free grant of land rom the government and cash bonus of $6 head when they became actual settlers. They will take up home steads in Manitoba
 The DoukhoboEski are fine looking. strong and healthy. One of them went through the Crimean war with distinc tion, and after it was over, when 55 years old, he joined the sect, a chief tenet of which is that it is sinful to bear arms. Another of the immi- grants is S5 years old, ten of which were spent in exile in northern Siberia several thousand more of these Douk- hoDorski are on the way to Halifax.

NO FEARS FOR THE NEW YORK.
Rough Weather and Her Foul Bottom
 Accountable for Delay

New York, Jan 26.-The failure to get a report armour cling the arrival of the American Line steamship New York at Southampton today led to con lecture of possible harm having come to her. There seemed no real reason for apprehension. The New York, like the St. Paul, which recently arrived overdue and whose place the New York consequently took, is a staunch vessel and quite equal to any weather she is likely to encounter on the Atlantic. The New York under ordinary cOnGi- tions should have reached Sonthamp- ton on Wednesday,. .
 Besides the bad weather, which has been keeping all transatlantic steam ships back another good reason for the delay is advanced by the officials of the line. After the war the New Yerk was brought to this port and has since remained in salt water, and her bot tom has in consequence become very foul. while the other vessels of the line. which were sent to Philadelphia for their overhauling, became clean from the action of the fresh water of the Delaware. The foulnesS of the New York would account for an unusually long trip.

IT IS NOT FAR OFF
Continued From First PageJ

Herod as you do to the common peo- pie; you must tone down your mes sage; you mustn't hurt his feelings, or he'll get mad and take off your head If you have minister that tells you of your faults, then thank God for him, but if he is too cowardly to do so but lets you go on in sin and think your soul is all right, you may be sure he is a devil sent man.
 $ Faithful are the wounds of a friend. John the Baptist was the truest subject Herod had in his king dom and Herod knew it, too, but John was not afraid to tell him plainly of his faults. Of course it made Herod mad, and he had no further use for John. He wanted to do as he pleased. There are men here tonight who won't like this sermon. but will go off mad,
 Now, my friends, don't be satished with being near the kingdom; get into it. Take the step Of faith and walk right in. The door stands open and God invites you to come and Christ died for you. That is my only hope when death comes to me, that Christ died for me. Oh, man and woman, take Christ into your heart tonight and you need fear nothing more."

STOCKHOLDERS DECEIVED.
Excitement in London Over a False
 Dividend Announcement

London, Jan. Enlightenment was caused in the financial circles here this week by gross bIunder in the an nouncement of the dividend of the Southeastern railroad On Monday the dividend was given cut as 6H. On Thursday it was annunced that, owing to mistake of the accountants the dividend should have been 61h. Many holders, however, Cn the first announcement, disappointed at the P0cr dividend, sold their stock at 1OS. Then strange undercurrent cf buy ing set in, which resulted in a iump in the stock to 11212, when the correction Of the dividend was published.
 It is being asked whci were the mvs- trious buyers who were aware of he blundering and who made almost per cent as a result of their knowl- edge. Ugly rumors are afiCat and the ma ter is regarded as scandalous. As an outcome of strong representations on the subject, the stock exchange committee has decided to investigate the matter.
 Directors Of the company are-acquit- ted Of blame, but every jobber will be required to produce his books and dis close the names of clients who pur- chased Southeasterns between the two announcements.

CHIEF ENGINEER SIMS.
Rec cmmenda.iGn That He Be Made q
 Commander in the Navy.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Chief Engin- eer Gardiner c. Sims Of the volunteer navy has been hcnored above other officers who entered the engine 1T corps at ne outbreak Of the war. En- gineer-in-chief Melville has rscom- men3ed that MT. Sims be prcm9ted t1 the relative rank of commander be- fore he is honorably discharged, n view Of the eminent services he Ien- dered the country during the war. He entered the engineer corps as a volua- teer officer May 12, and YVES commits stoned a passed assistant eng nee~, with the relative rank of lieutenant On May 28 he was promoted to the grade Of thief engineer, with the re a. tive rank Of IieuteEant His duty was on board the repair ship Vu'can, the first of it's kind fitted out That ve-- sel was equipped at the Bostcn navy yard and did splendid work among the vessels Of SampsCn'S squadron in Gu ban waters. The engineer Cffice- say ii is difficult to estimate the value of MT. Sims services; he not Clly super visad the equipment of the ship, but he made up cut Of his own funds the difference in wages paid by the gov ernment for mechanics and that which would have to be paid to the expert workmen he brought from his PrCvi- dence shops. An engineering officer said today: ''It is an example of pa trict;sm which is a,so practical, and the best part Of it all is that MT Sims has no1 paraded his oOmmendable acts.''
 The recommendation of E ngineer Melville will undoubtedly be approved by Secretary Long.

O'NEIL.
CAPTIVATED AN AUDIENCE AT
THE GRAND LAST NIGHT IN
.'ai 5 "MAGDA."

If the ability to wiring the hearts OF an
audience, to make them forget the stage,
the surroundings, the company, every
thing but one woman before them, is
genius. Their Nance O'Neil, who appeared
at the Grand last night in "MaSda,' has
it.. This remarkable and talented wom-
an held the audience spell bound for four
acts. s, .. -:
While the play itself is a strong me it
is of that grave German character which
leaves unpleasant memories behind. Yet
in the hands of Miss O'Neil it could not
have been better rendered. 1t was a mas
terpiece OF acting from her first entrance
to the fall OF the curtain. She is an ac-
tress who knows by intuition, the value of
pauses. the value of words, and the value
of impressing her audiences that she is
the very person that she represents.
Added to her genius is a magnificent
presence, while her changes of emotion
which are accomplished without an ap-
parent effort-stamp her as one of Amer
ica's foremost artists. The support was
especially strong, Mckee Rankin accep-
tally taking the part of the father and
Herbert Carr doing some excellent work
as Pastor Hefferdingt.
Tonight Miss O'Neil will present THE
Jawess' in which she will appear as
Leah" This is said to be her greatest
character and Butte theater-goers should
rot mss the opportunity to see her in it
