THE FUTURE OF SAMOA.
Effect of Policy to Be Adopted by the
 Three Powers.

Three Powers
 The questions now come up, says the Independent: Will the three govern ments interested be able to work in harmony and will the general effect be educative on the people. tending to- ward the development 0f the power Of self-government? As to the former, much will depend on the ultimate pur~ pose of the governments. If the islands are to be exploited for the prime advantage of Germany, England and the United States, then we can scarcely expect anything else than 9 renewal of the criminations and re- erlmlnations of the past years and harmony may as well be thrown eo the winds. If, on the other hand, it Is made evident that in the conduct of the government of the islands the first thought IS what will be hest for them, even if 1t involves some sacrifice of other interests, then there is no req son why there should not be happy and prosperous future for the commit nity. Upon the same thing depends the answer to the second question. That the Samoan can rise to self gov ernment few, if any, will deny. Whether he will attain to t, however. is a very different question. If he is made to feel that he is simply an agent to further German English-American trade interests, his keenness may be developed, but not his character That will only come by recognizing his man. hood, trusting while at the same time guiding his judgment. stirring his am- bitioD by opening to him new oppor- tunities.

Many Manufacturing Concerns Born Every Cigarette Trade Is Ex,
 banding Paper Mills and Cotton Machinery. g

At home and abroad there is plenty of confidence in the future of Mexico. In Europe we have seen it evidenced the past week in the adoption of plan for the conversion of Mexicos gold debt of $97 ,000 900, bearing 6 per cent interest, to a 5 per cent basis, writes a correspondent from the Citv of Mexico. Here we have seen, in the past ten days, the incorporation of several new companies for manufac turing purposes, the formation of a cigarette makers league or trust, for It amounts to that, and the putting of nearly $1,Q00, GOO more into a new ci- garette factory; fresh orders for cot ton mill machinery, and a remarkably good showing in customs receipts for this time of the year. Mexicans have more money than ever before to buy foreign goods, and they are importing heavily. Even with all the new cotton mills and print works, the home sup ply of cotton textiles is insufficient for the demand, and imports in that line, both from the United States and Eu- rope, are increasing, a fact which in- spires cotton mill people to order more machinery and to put up new mills. A large new paper mill. backed by Mexican and resident Spanish capita, is to be built near this city, and the machinery is already ordered. A great extent of the streets of this city are to be paved with asphalt, and already the principal streets are handsomely paved with concrete blocks, which make an ideally smooth pavement The new Baneo Central is running up a heavy list of depositors, and has $3,000, ,000 paid-in capital, and will, in year or two, double that amount. Shares in the new American bank have sold this week at q heavy premium, and the institution is doing a large and very profit business. The older banks report good business in 1899, and will soon increase their capital. the National to have $22 ,000, GOO effective capital and the London $19,000,000. These are business facts, which show how Mexico is booming along under the hrm rule of the present admins tration, which is business from the word go, to employ an effective colIo- quialism.

DAY DISTRICT EXERCISES.
Members of fGraduating Class Presented
 With Diplomas Last Evening.

Tn Grace M. F. church last evening
 were held the graduation exercises of the senior classes of the Day and Wash
 ington schools comprising the Day dis trict. Present were friends and rela- tiyes of the interested ones in large numbers, and the church was filled to the doors.
 The exercises, which were of unusual interest, were presided over by Principal Lambert of the Day district. On the stage with him were Miss Margaret Healy of Day school, Miss Elizabeth Hodgdon of Washington school and Harry Asher of the board of education. The exercises opened with song by the school, followed by an essay on "Abra- ham Lincoln as President-elect' by Harry Coehrane. Interspersed with songs by the school came more essays, as follows: 'eThe Puritans," Catherine Dickerman; "A Communion With Ma ture," Mabel Simons; 'Incidents of the Spanish War" Grace Taylor; Friends Worth Having" Joseph Wallace; Our Character" Beatrice Goodfellow. All were noteworthy for the strong argu- ments advanced and for the intelligence displayed in the handling of the sub- jects. Loud and hearty applause greet ed each effort, and all were well re- ceiYed
 The diplomas were presented by MT. Asher. Preceding the ceremony he ad- dressed the pupils and the others pres- ent in a complimentary vein and stated himself as being delighted with the graduating class of the Day district. There was a time,' he said, when certain district was called the best in the city; but here tonight I am forced to say that that is thing of the past and that if Day district is not the best in New Haven 1t is certainly equal to the hest.'
 Continuing, MT. Asher complimented the children upon the large number that intended entering the high school, and said: Nothing gives me as much pleas ure as to learn that seven-eighths of the graduating class intends entering the high school. Nothing is so potent a testimonial as to the value of the high school as this. It provokes me beyond when I read in the press of the of so-called men of intel ligence in which they advocate the abol- ishment of the high school To the high school hundreds of New Haven's prom inent citizens owe everything, and to the high school, I am happy to predict, many of the future intelligent men and women of New Haven will owe as much"

LINCOLN RUNS AGROUND.

The New Haven Liner Strands on Hart's
 Island, But Gets Afloat-Accdent Due to Fog.
 New York, June 26.-The New Haven line steamboat Lincoln, bound to this city from Providence and the Elm City, ran aground early this morning in the fog. She had worked her way down the sound in splendid fashion, notwithstand- ing the fog, and her pilot imagined him. self to be south of Hart's Island when he wasn't. About 730 there was a grating sound, and the Lincoln fetched up shore on the east side of Harts Isl- and Point.
 The vessel had been making not more than five miles an hour before she struck, so that she did not ground very hard. The tide was still flooding, and without any further aid than that of her own machinery, the Lincoln backed off unhurt at 9:30 and came to this city. There was no excitement while she was aground.
