The arrest and detention by the Brit

Of the controversy. 1t is said that the
consuls of the three powers stationed at
Apia claim extra territorial jurisdiction,
involving the right to try the subjects Of
their respective countries for any Of

Under this practice the German con-
sui. Rose. may demand the surrender OF
the German subject. If the man is
guilty. it is considered improbable that
the British will yield unless upon some
adequate guarantee that he is to be suf-
ficiently punished, 1t is not believed

Willow Baskets,

The question is sometimes asked why
some willow baskets soon become brown

SO much longer. Those that discolor are
made from willow from which the bark
has been removed by steaming. The

not such big factor in cost, are woven
from willows that have been peeled
