SOLF SAILS FROM GERMANY
Will Replace Raffel a. President of the Mu
nioipal Council.
The Latter Had Been Relieved Before
the Recent Trouble fn the
Samoan Islands,

The State Department has been informed
that DR.. Solf has sailed from Germany for
New YORK on the way to Samoa. He has
been named by the German government to
replace DR.. John Raffel, the late president
OF the municipal council at Apia who has
Just arrived at San Francisco on his way
back to Berlin. DIR. Raffel was actually re-
iieved of his duties at Samoa by the Ger
man government before the emeute that
nearly involved the three treaty govern
ments in an unpleasant complication but
lor some unknown reason his departure
from Apia was unfortunately delayed Just
long enough to bring him into the dispute
over the kingly succession. Perceiving
from the reports that came from all three
sources, American and British as well as
German, that DIR. Raffels continued pres
ence was hampering the efforts of the three
governments to settle the difficulties at
Apia, his homeward movement was hasten
ed by instructions to report at once at Ber-
lin for consultation. 1t is probable that he
will cross DIR. Solf somewhere in this coun-
try, probably in New York. and will fully
inform him as to the situation in the Sa-
moan Islands when he left.
Ihe rather naive explanation given by DR.
Raffel at San Francisco yesterday of the
conditions under which he came to interfere
with the chief justice at Apia was received
here with some amaZement, the officials
pointing out that the doctor clearly saw no
improperly in the setting aside of the sol
cmn obligation of the Berlin treaty by the
little municipal council of Samoa.
1t is fact that had Chief Justice Cham
bers not been guilty of the imprudence of
commenting so freely and adversely upon
the German government, and allowing those
comments to be published in the letter to
his brother in this country, he would have
the fullest support of the State Department.
But while the examination so far made of
the reports from all sources of the events
that took place at Apia in connection with
the kingly succession case goes to show that
the chief justice acted within his rights, IL
is admitted that his replacement by an
other American would go a long way
toward effecting a peaceable adjustment
of the conditions in Samoa.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 9.-The

smaller size. was uncovered just two miles

SENATOR JONES. CONDITION.
His Liability to Second Attack the
Only Serious Phase

Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of
the national democratic committee, while
apparently doing well, is nevertheless in a
precarious condition, owing to his liability
to another dangerous attack of heart
trouble. AS is usually the case, in the in
tervals between attacks of this nature, he
is getting along satisfactorily, and today
was In comparatively fair condition, after
good nights rest, but he is maintaining
the utmost caution, and, under strict orders
of his physician is avoiding any exertion.
This is a radical change for a man of Sena-
tor Jones active habits. and he naturally
chafes under it, His malady, angina pee
toris, is at best a grave one and the out
come can never be foreseen. So far, how
ever, there have been no untoward compli-
cations in his case, and there is a strong
hope, with absolute quiet and rest away
from his work for a considerable period, he
may recover.

THE DINGLEY FUNERAL.
All Expenses Paid and the Cost Com
par0tiYely Low.

paratfvely Low.
Sergeant-at-Arms Russell Of the House
said today that all the bills for the ex-
penses Of tho funeral of the late Repre-
sentative Qingley had been passed by the
committee on accounts and paid. Mr.. Rus
sell said that the cost of the funeral, con-
sidering that it was state affair, was COM
paratively low Outside of the payment
for the special train, the expenses amount
ed to about $1,000. and this he considered
an unusually small sum for state funeral.
He said there was some misapprehension
about the amount paid for the services in
Lewiston, arising from the fact that the
undertaken there had sent him bills which
were properly chargeable to the city COM
mittee in Lewiston. These had been re-
turned and the mistake reetifed, SO that
the House had paid only the sums for
which it was liable and the city committee
had settled the items chargeab,e to 1t.

CIGARS BY THE MILLION.
Enormous Number Consumed BY smokess
In the United States.

Enormous Number Consumed by Smokefe
In the United States.
With the exception OF tbs phenom-
email record breaking fiscal year Of
1923, the fiscal year OF 1878. ended
June 30, is the biggest on record for
the cigar industry, says the Tobacco
Journal. An increase at once OF over
half q billion, or, to be exact. $511 1872
730. in the cigar production. after five
years Of stagpation and actual retro
gression, 10 an event to be marked.
The total production Of the fiscal year
falls short only about 00,0oo. 900 Of the
phenomenal total production Of the
fiscal year 1923. but this shortage
will be more than wiped out and the
5000, ,O00, 900 figure reached II the pres7
ent fiscal year keeps pace with the
increase made n the last over tho pre-
ceding There was but one month III
the entire fiscal year that shows q
decreased output against the corre'
spending month of the previous year.
and that was July. But With August
the increase commenced and jumped
right up to 25,OO0.o0o. And It kept
on jumping right along every month
down to4the very last. June last, when
the increase amounted to 66,OOO,ooV.
June's increase, big as 1t was, was not
the record breaker Of the year. It was
tho month Of April that broke the rec
ord with an increase Of 205.OOO,ooo.
Truly April last was the banner month
for the industry. the biggest single
month on record: its unparalleled In
crease Of zoe, ,00o. 900 surpasses the en-
tire increase Of many year before.
The profits did not come solely from
the increased business, although they
must have been considerable from this
source alone. They came In aslarge'
and probably the largest, part from =
change in the material Of cigars. which
was forced on manufacturers BY the
unhappy conditions which prevailed ~
Cuba. and finally led to the war with
Spain. But to julge from the enor-
mously increased consumption, this
change must have just suited the
taste Of the smokers. The fiscal year
Of 1878 will, therefore. be long re-
membered a. the second biggest and
one OF the most profitable years IN the
history Of the cigar industry.
