Would Divide ALL SAMOA.
Senator Morgan's Plans to End the
Continuous Quarrel.
HE MAKES A VERY PLAIN TALK,


Civiilxing Procesl
WASHINGTON, April IS. SENATOR
John Il. Morgan Of Alabama, n lead
Ing member OF the foreign relations
committee, when asked for an express
sion on the Samoan problem, said:
There is only one permanent solu-
ton OF the Samoan question. That Is
a partition OF the island by the three
great powers, which have by common
desire just formed a commission to
reconcile the differences between
themselves and the native Samoans.
The United States, Great Britain
and Germany, will, in my judgment,
act most wisely, IL they Immediately
proceed to a settlement on the natur-
al theory that little good will result
from a tcmporlzing policy toward
these warlikc and bl%ooithirsty saw
ages.
"Whatever sentiment we nay enter
tain for the rights OF tue Samoans, the
arbitrary law Of nature which pre-
vents an i~ncongrous assimilation of
people, will ever be an insurmountable
barrier to peace, progress and civiliza-
ton as long as govern mental control
Is by the weaker class.
IL am thoroughly impressed with
the Importance Of partition. as l be-
lieve that the immediate division of
h island will bring about the speedy
solution of n trouble that may termin-
ate gradually with the practical ex-
termination OF the Samoan race.
THE United States should have u
coaling station at Pago Pago. And
then with the long desired cable in
the Pacific, reaching to Honolulu and
Sydney, giving communication with
the home governments, there will be
little to interfere with the spread OF

Neither of the officials would disclose

by reason of the grip. In some dloceses
scarcely a parish fails to give this blessing,
and in some parishes to very large numbers
The memorial service to be held in Ha-
vana on the 18th of this month over the
remains of those who died in the Maine
disaster were arranged by some officials of
Protestant societies in this country and
these projectors are by no means alarmed
over the recent protest of the bishop of
Havana, who has issued an order prohibit
ing the holding of the service. The grounds
taken by the bishop are that the Maine
sailors were for the most part Roman
Catholics, and they lie buried in a Roman
Catholic cemetery. Bishop Santander has
lodged a protest with General Brooke and
announces his intention of carrying the
matter to Washington and to the pope. The
proposed services are to be conducted, I'M
less prevented in response to the Roman
Catholic bishops appeal, by Protestant
clergymen, Bishop Ninde, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, among them.
Disciples of Christ are in the midst of a
warm discussion over the best way to Sc
cure the one hundred thousand souls, which
they are to work for during their jubilee
year The Rev. J. s. Hughes, of Chicago
says one great hindrance to the disciples
securing so many this year is that other
sects will get them, or some of them, first
He says. however that every means posi-
BILE, including the revival in all of its FORMS
is to be employed. The Rev. L. ]. Legg,
corresponding secretary of the Indiana
Christian Missionary Society, says the chief
obstacle to success Is oVercontldence in the
plea itself Extreme parochlaHsm ana con-
seduent lack of cooperation in missionary
work ne gives as another obstacle. Among
many of the stronger churches there are,
he says many complacent people who en-
icy their local conventions and their local
comforts, and do not feel the ISOLATION of
brethren in less favored localities Many
of them also fail to realize that there are
missions that are not in foreign lands
