Form n Legislative Council.

I'VE propose that the administrator and
three delegates should form a Legislative
council, and We have introduced into the
act several clauses giving them power TO
modify existing ordinances.
we are of opinion that the original act
strued in too rigid a manner, and that
greater elasticity in its provisions would
have a beneficial effect.
We have, therefore, empowered the
council to make such alterations as it may
think tit in the boundaries of districts, the
details of native government and other
matters enumerated in the proposed act.
Thirdly. we hope to create a greater
abolishing consular jurisdiction. We be-
lieNe that in other parts of the world such
jurisdiction prevails only where the laws
OF q. country are for religious or other rea-
sons not suitable for application TO for
eigners. But the chief Justice of Samoa is
an American or European, and admins-
trates American or European law. 1t would
appear, therefore, that there is no reason
why he should not take coguiZance of all
suits brought against foreigners, nor why
foreigners should enjoy privileges of extra
terrltorlaluy except that of not being
anienable'. 10 the jurisdiction of native
matters as are decided according TO native
customs. Hitherto consular Jurisdiction
has been a powerful means of embittering
International strife in Apa.

We propose to introduce an element of

; LawIessness Prevails.

THE third class of eyils arises from the
lawlessness now prevailing in Samoa out
side the municipality. For many years
there has been no law in these districts,
ana native institutions permitted chiefs to
commit crimes with impunity. Murder,
theft, and other offenses weIe left unpun-
ished ana trade suffered owing to the diffi-
Guilty of affording planters adequate pro-
lection in their dealings with the aborig-
lnees we hope to improve this state of
things by giving the chief justice an en-
larged jurisdiction over all these islands
so as TO include all cases between natives
and foreigners as well as the lower grades
or crimes committed by natives against
each other.
To tighten the work of supreme court
We have made the municipal magistrate a
court of first instance within the limits of
the municipality.
''Fourthly-We have felt # our duty to
deal somewhat severely with the importa-
tons of arms and ammunition into Samoa.
The prohibition existing in the treaty has
become a dead letter: the management
of the customs has been exceedingly lax,
having been largely in the hands of mer-
chants who naturally found it convenient
TO have easy regulations. Private CONNER
cial houses have been allowed to discharge
goods direct into their own receiving sheds
without any examination, and though we
make no specific accusations, IL Is clear
tnat there can have been no difficulty in in
Producing large quantities of arms, and
that arms were so introduced.
We therefore. feel ii essential that the
customs regulations should be stringently
ministrator and that adequate customs ac.
commodation with an adequate shed shalt
be provided with as little delay as pos
sble.

the Bristish ambassador, Sir Julian

Later In the day Sir Julian called at

the formal acceptance by Great Britain
of the plan of high commission But
this was correct only in part.

Great Britain, but that the British gov

tails Of Its authority ara determined.
This, 1t is explained, Is in no sense de-
lay OF acceptance, for no one government
has offered something which the others
must accept or reject. Instead of that,

agreeable spirit toward common un-
