with DR.. Raffel, in which he is quot
ed as saying:
"The decision of Chief Justice
Chambers in favor of Malietoa Tanu
was partly due to the fact that

missionaries. Mataafa at present is
the only King the Samoans will toll
crate"
There has been a sudden veering
of views upon the part of both the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron
Won Bulow, and the Emperor,
A Foreign Office official said to-
night to the correspondent OF the
Associated Press, in energetic Ian
guage, that Germany and Belgium
would investigate the commissions
work, and insist upon the American
and British Government unmistak-
ably disavowing the fragrant viola
tions committed by Admiral Kautz
and Captain Sturdee. In the alb.
sence of disavowal for Germany to
join the commission would be a
mere farce. He added:
"When the commission starts it
must start on the status quo and not
on a status created by the illegal
acts of subordinates in Samoa"

NOTHING FOR MILES TO DO
Presidents Approval of Report
Precludes Further Action
in Beef Question.

WASHINGTON, May 5, 1s9s.-A very
close friend of General Miles and an Off
Ger of the army, when asked if there was
anything for the General to say or do in
regard to the report of the beef board
replied
There is nothing for him to say or do.
The report has been approved by the
President, and the President is the COM
mander-in-chief of the army. Criticism
of the report or any other action would
be violation of military duty"
Inquiry was made as to the status Of
officers criticised and what course they
might pursue, and it was stated that as a
military legal proposition it was impos-
sible for any action to be taken by any
of the officers saggrieved They might de-
mand a court of inquiry, but this was a
court Of inquiry which recommended that
nos further action be taken. this being
approved by the President precluded any
further inquiry.
General Eagan, who is specified in the
report. is not likely TO ask for any fur,
ther investigation Lieutenant Colonel
Maus of General Miles, staff, the other
officer criticised, feels it keenly. His
friends say he was among the witnesses
whom General Miles asked to be called
and was not called by the court.

SIAN0 CAPTURE.
Found in Brooklyn and Valves
ExSradition.

Felix Siano, the italian, who during a
quarrel Saturday afternoon, stabbed Cor
dino Stifano, a fellow workman, several
times in the back with a penknife, in
Heidt's barrel factory, on Fairmount ave-
nue.. and tried to elude the police, was
captured yesterday morning in Brooklyn
at the home of relatives, by Frank Co.
prio, the italian court interpreter, who
is also special police officer. Siano
agreed to accompany the officer to this
city without the formality of awaiting
extradition.
When Coprio and the prisoner arrived
at Headquarters the latter was taken be-
fore Chief Murphy in his private office
where he was put through the third de-
gree. Siano admitted having stabbed St1-
fano. but said it was done on the inn
pulse of the moment, after quarrel, over
practically nothing at all.
Siano said that he asked Stifano what
he was looking at. The latter said,
only the floor" Stifano became exceed
ingly angry at the question that had been
put to him and made vicious lunge at
Siano with a 6Aopers knife, but was dis
armed before any damage had been done.
Siano then drew pocket knife from his
pocket with which he stabbed his VIC
tim in the back. None of the wounds are
dangerous. He then fled to avoid arrest.
Siano is twenty-one years OIL age ana
lives at No 6e2 Grand street. Stifano is
thirty-one years old and lives at No. la
Centre street.

DEWEY COMING
Will Return to New York
From Manila on
the Olympia.

WASHINGTON, May s, 1Sss-It was
stated at the Navy Department today
that Admiral Dewey will come from Ma
Mia direct to New York when he returns
to the United States. However, 1t was
added the Admiral will not start until the
commission of which he is member has
completed the work it has undertaken,
at least so far as it relates to the re-
storation of peace to the islands
The reason for bringing the flagship
Olympia to New York instead of having
her come to San Francisco where she was
built, is said to be primarily because Ad-
miral Dewey desires to make the passage
on his own flagship, but also for the rea-
son that the Mare Island Navy Yard
threatens to be overwhelmed with re-
pair work as soon as the numerous
vessels of Dewey's fleet begin to return to
the United States The Olympia is i'll
need of a thorough overhauling, having
been away from her home station longer
than any of the vessels in the Asiatic
fleet, and rendered more than the usual
amount of hard service during her alb
sence.

AGAINST AMERICAN MEAT.
German Reichstag Committee Prac-
tically Recommend Its Prohibition

[By Cable to The Associated Press
BERLIN, May 5, 1S99.-It is authorita-
lively stated that the committee of the
Reichstag to which was referred the meat
inspection bill, which was substantially
agreed upon between the Imperial Cabi-
net and the United States Ambassador
here, Mr.. Andrew d. White, has reported
against the measure and in favor of a
bill so hostile to American interests that
the Government will probably refuse to
sanction it.
regards American interests in the matter
of the Meat Inspection bill, was the fact
that there were insiStent declarations in
the United States that embalmed and
poisonous meats had been supplied to the
troops in Cuba. Representatives of the
German land-owning interests loudly de-
clared that If the Americans sent poison
GUS meat to their own soldiers they
would certainly send it to the Germans.
A bad result is that the bill as reported
back provides for such examination and
inspection of American meats as it will
be impossible to enforce without utterly
destroying American trade with Germany.
The bill as remodeled by the Reichstag
Committee also proposes to exclude from
Importation hams, hard and soft sausages
and chopped meats and prescribes that
fresh meats must come in whole car
casses or continuous parts.
The United States Embassy and the
German Government still hope that better
counsels will prevail when the bill comes
up for discussion in the open ReichStag
on its second reading, though the chances
for the enactment of the Government
measure are very slim.

RITuALIsTs ON TRIAL.
Philadelphia Clergyman an Expert
in the English Controversy.

[By Cable to The Associated Press
LONDON, May s. 1S99.-An important
stage in the ritualistic controversy opened
today, when the Archbishop of Canter-
bury and Primate of All England, the
Right Hon. and Most Rev. Frederick
Temple, and the Archbishop of York, the
Right Hon. the Most Rev. William Dali
rymple Maclagan, sitting as a sel-con-
stituted tribunal began a hearing of the

Vicar of st. Cuthbert's, Phflbeach Cars
dens, of ceremonial use of incense
and lights, and the Rev Edward Ram,
vicar of the Church of st. John, Timber
hill, Norwich, on the charge of ceremonial
use of incense. Messrs. Westall and Ram
will have the assistance in the eeclesi-
the question of the ritual including the
Rev. r. R. Percival, rector of the Church
of the EvangelstS, in Philadelphia. The
decision of the ArchbShopS will not be
binding except as to the conscience, upon
any one. nor will it he enforcible, but,
naturally, it will have immense moral
weight

SAY 'SHoor" TO M'KAIG
And See What You Get-His Fish
Story.

Police Captain Archie McKaig has
sprung into noteriety as fisherman. The
Lone Fisherman has almost been for
gotten since the Captain made his great
catch from one of the Coney Island piers
last Tuesday evening. He was fishing
with two chums, George Blessing and
Butcher Levy.
AS big wave dragged the cork of his
line under the surface the Captain pulled
slightly at his line and found it drawn
taut, while the angry waves driven by
the storm that was fast approaching
swished the line about as though a whale
or porpoise was at the other end. De-
spite the fact that he exerted all his
strength he found it difficult to pull in
his line and called for help. He was ter
ribly excited.
Dash my silver -blossomed Dun
drearies!'' he exclaimed, sbut this must
be the long talked Of sea serpent Look
out!'' and second later with a prodigious
jerk he landed great big shoe, of the
brogan type, on the pier.
His chums had the laugh on the Cap
tain who, knowing that 'shoe" fish travel
in pairs, sought patiently to catch the
other one, but the storm became furious
and the Captain had to relfnquish his
efforts.
Say '.shoo!' to the Captain and he'll
reply
well it's up to mel whatn yez

BYRNE DID WAKE uP
He Took the Hints of the
News" About Sweeping
Grove Street.

Grove street was swept last night. Mr..
Byrne's men did many of the things which
'-The News said should be done, in an
article describing the way that thorough
fare was swept last week. The gang was
the same size as on the other occasion.
The brooms used were the same, But
the way the brooms were used was not
the same and the effect on the cobble-
stones was decidedly different. There
was an inspector In charge of the men
another point of difference. The Inspector
walked along the sidewalk and directed
the work Once in while he compelled
one of the gang to more thoroughly
sweep up the dirt or gather it into heaps.
The lipe of formation was the same as
told in .sThe News article slanting
line from the cart track to the curb. The
men used their brooms more viz ,rously
last night than they did week ago In
stead of giving the dirt push and letting
it go at that, they shov their brooms
over the same spot several times in a
laudable endeavor to take up all the dirt
there was. The man who caught the first
heap with his broom swept the. ground
behind the heap once or twice before
sending the pile on Its way and then ran
his broom over the same spot and pushed
what he could get of what was left of
the dirt after the pile. This style of
work was observed all along the line.
There were two men with carts, instead
of one man, who followed the gang. The
hints given by THE News" were taken
BY these men also. They halted their
carts opposite the piles of dirt gathered
in the cutters. Then, instead of attempt
ing to get all the dirt on the shovel in one
load, each man took three or four turns at
his heap. After he had thrown the heap
in the cart each man scraped the gutter
with his shovel and threw the pile thus
accumulated into the cart.
The result of the change in the work
was an Improvement in the appearance
of the street The street looked more as
If it had been swept. The cobbles them
selves looked clean. There is still room
for Improvement in the way the dirt be-
tween the cobbles is treated.
