Camden Still Hopeful.

The first official action looking to se-
curing the location OF the New York Ship
Company's plant in Camden was taken
by the City Council of that city last nj ght,
when it adopted u resolution which, after
reciting the possibility of that concern for
building up the city, says: "The land as
now assessed to DO the valuation for twenty
years, in consideration of The New York
Shipbuilding Company and the successors
building and operating q shipbuilding
plant on the land south of the Atlantic
City freight pier and bounded by tho Della
ware Rvor, Broadway and Newton Greek,
Its successor to enjoy the same rights, lib
critics and privileges"
The acceptance Of the franchise must
be filed with the City ClerK within 30 days,
and the same is TO act as contract. This
was followed by the passage of an ordin-
ance directing the Mayor to enter into a
CONTRACT with the Atlantic City Railroad
Company to reILove its tracks to point
east OF Broadway, which removes all OBJ
stacles in the way Of the shipbuilding
company at that point.
The s!xty-day offer was made so as to
mako Mr.. Morse give them some definite
idea OF his plans and to bring matters to
hand

Talk About a Good Time,

Last night certainly was gala
one for Keokuk Tribe, Imp'd o. r.
NJ, and the members who attended
with the expectation of having a
good time, did not go away disap.
pointed.
In compliance with a promise 10
present cake to the tribe, Joseph
Eckman offered one that at first
sight looked as if it must be fine
and smile wreathed the faces of
the committee as they gathered
about their prize and one of their
number took his carving knife in
hand to cut it. Then there was a
surprise. When the knife had
passed through the icing, it struck
something that resisted all it's ef-
forts to 60 further. A look of con-
sternation passed over the faces of
the committee, as they looked from
one to the other and then smiled as
he with the knife made way for an
other brother, who did not know Of
the joke that was being tried on
them. First he began gently, then
he said "what is it" but stuck to
the knife and finally, after saying
"damn" managed to cut sit" into
twenty pieces. AS soon as their
teeth were sunk into the inviting
looking cake, the members were
made aware that they had been
made the butt OF practical joke
and then there was laugh. The
"cake' was a loaf of some home
made bread that the donor had had
decorated for the occasion, The
bread was disposed of as if it was
cake and was the source of much
amusement. After allowing the
members to enjoy the yoke for some
time, Mr.. Eckman presented the
cake promised. which proved to be
as good as it looked. The commit
tee had no trouble in cutting or dis
posing of it and all looked as if
they could have tried another piece
except Charles w. Conyers, who
was so unlucky as to find in his
slice, a small china negro baby,
which entitled him to present
cake on next Thursday night.
There were three visitors from
Chippewa Tribe of Milton present,
and they enjoyed the fun as much
as the Keokuk members. They had
read in these columns of the 'good
times Keokuk was having, and
were glad to see the harmony that
existed among the members. The
adoption which was to take place,
was laid over until June 1st, as the
candidate, through an oversight Of
the Chief of Records, had not been
notified. All the members are in
vited to be present next Thursday
and help to dispose of the expected
cake and share in the good time.

Auckland, N. e., May 26.-The Sa-
moan commission arrived at Apia on
May IL. Its first meeting was held on
May 16, but the character of its de-
liberations was not disclosed. 1t is
understood that it will uphold the ac-
tion Of Admiral Kautz. 1t Is believed
Mataafa will not order his forces to
disarm until after the Malietoans have
complied. The rebels are still outside
the lines drawn by Admiral Kautz, but
their position is being strongly forth
fed. Mataafa declares that the war
was begun by his head chief. The
