Berlin, Feb. 25.-The United States am
bassador here, Mr.. Andrew ID. White. has
had several protraeted conferences this
week with Baron Won Richthofen, under
secretary Of the foreign office. ON the sub
ject of the recent troubles in Samoa. and
has received a number of documents in
support OF Germany's view of the situa-
uoa. The interviews were of the mosr
friendly character and mutually concln-
atory.
An official, In behalf of Baron Won Bue-
low. the German minister of foreign af-
fairs, tells the correspondent here OF the
Associated Press that the German ambas-
sador at Washington, DIR. Won HolIeben.
has represented TO the United States gov
ernmert informally, and In frienalv
manner the advisabllty of recalling Will
lam Chambers, the chief justice of sa-
moa.
The German government is of the opin-
ion that Mr. Chambers, since the publi-
cation of the letter to his brother, which
appeared In the newspapers of the United
states. is ''an improper person to repre-
sent the three governments at Samoa"
lie should Not CritacIse.
ID is further said that he was put there
in order to represent the protecting powers.
and that for him to criticise one OF these
Powers makes him manlfestly uunt to
serve any longer In his present capacity"
1t is only necessary. Il is further pointed
out TO reverse the case in order to show
this strikingly to Americans. LET II be
supposed" said the German official refer
red to above. that such a letter had been
written by Herr Rose 0he German consul
at Apia) would not tho entire American
press point out that It was fragrant proof
of Herr Roses unfltness 10 any longer hold
his placer"
Mr.. Chambers letter has greatly stirred
up public feeling In Germany, and nearly
the entire press asserts that by the letter
Mr. Chambers has "glarlugly manifested
MS unutuesS Tor MS position"
Pat Himself Outside the Act.
Some of the papers declare that inas-
much as Germany the United States and
Great Britain have declared their inten-
ton to maintain the basis of the Samoa
act, while Mr.. Chambers by his acts and
words, has put himself outside the act,
he can no longer be considered proper
authority Of the signatory powers
The same foreign Office official, speaking
OF the Philippine Islands, said:
Germany only wishes the re-establish-
ment of orderly conditions and this is
solely on account OF our commercial in
ierests In the islands,"
The meat inspection bill bin is accom-
panied by a long memorial explaining the
reasons guiding the government in the
matter. 1t gives details showing that the
fears expressed that a general inspection
would make meat more expensive, are un-
founded the cost of such inspection be-
Ing only one-eighth to one-sixth Of a cent
per kblo in the densely populated districts.
1t Is also set forth that the importation
of meats will not be rendered more diff
cult, as the importers will easily accom-
modate themselves to the new provisions.
The Agrarians do not like the bill. Al
careful reading OF the whole bill demon-
strates that the fears entertained that it
VIII render the importation of American
meats more difficult are in no way borne
out by the facts
