GREAT BRITAIN WlTHDRAWS.


She No Longer Maintains Supervisory
Authority in Samoa.
Washington, Dec. 27.-The British
government has acted on the agree
ment and treaties for the partition Of
Samoa and has withdrawn the super
v.sory authority which 1t has exercised
of late years in common with Germany
and the United States This probably
accounts for the recent reports from
Samoa that the German flag has been
raised, as the withdrawal of the Brit
ish leaves Germany alone in authority
The British have withdrawn their au
thority in Tutuila. So far as Germany
and Great Britain are concerned, their
interests were settled in treaty be-
tween themselves. This treaty provided
for Great Brltain's withdrawal from
the islands and the German transfer
to Great Britain of certain islands In
the South Pacific. This treaty has al
ready gone into effect, as 1t was not
delayed by the requirement of submits
sion to the United States senate, and.
acting on it, the British authorities
have withdrawn their supervisory par
ticipation in the government OF Samoa
For the present. however, the British
consular officers remain there. as the
foreign countries are likely to continue
their consuls in Samoa, even though
these officials no longer carry on the
government of the Islands.

GERMANY'S SUGAR INTERESTS.

Armvred Trains.

Berlin. Dec 27--Dr. Pasche, leader
of the national liberals in the reichstag.
has just returned from a four months
trip in the United States, Cuba and the
West Indies. The trip was undertaken
for the United German sugar interests.
Dr. Pasche went to study thoroughly
what prospects sugar cane had In regions
through which he passed of competing
successfully with German beet sugar
under the existing American tariff.
In the course ST an interview to-day
he expressed the opinion that German
sugar would be driven cut of the Unit
ed States market within three years
terms than the present tariff. tIe VII

stag.
DR.. Pasche, who says he greatly en-
joyed his experiences in the western
world, speaks Enthusiastically of the
phenomenal prosperity everywhere ap-
parent in the United States" He be-
lieves a way will be found to effect a
commercial treaty with the United
States which will be beneficial to both
countries.
1t is asserted in official quarters that
the new tax rate on accumulated cap
ital in Prussia shows an increase of

THE SEAL CONTROVERSY.
Agent Morton Says the Herds Have Dim.
in,shed 90 Per Cent sns

Washington, Dec. 27.-Attention to
the Boring sea controversy betWe cen the
United States and Great Britain has
been renewed by the report of John
Morton, the United States agent Of the
seal islands. who has come on to sub
NIT his report and confer with the au-
thorties. The essential point Of the
report is that the seal herds have dim
inished 20 per cent within the last year.
When the Boring sea negotiations were
on last year the man contention of the
American authorities was that the
herds were being so diminished by
poaching and pelagic sealing that the
animal would become extinct at an
early day. Mr. Morton's reports of
diminution of 20 per cent is regarded
as fully bearing on the contention and
1T is taken also as an indication of the
urgent need of renewed negotiations
for the prevention of pelagic sealing.
The sealing question was one of those
under negotiation before the Anglo
American joint commission and an adj
iustment was in sight until the Alaskan
boundary presented an obstruction
which finally broke off all negotiations
and left the Boring sea question in
allegiance. There have been no negotia-
tons since.

A MAMMOTH INSTITUTION.

To those who are accustomed to
sending away from home for their
goods 1t Is Of the greatest Importance
to know the character and reliability
OF the establishments selling goods to
families from catalogues. The great
emporium Of the John NJ. Smyth Co.,
located at $50 to 166 West Madison
street, Chicago, has been established
for third OF century. and has fur
nished over a half million homes In
Chicago and vicinity alone. This firm
enjoys the confidence Of the public by
its many years OF fair dealing. 1t Is
sues an immense illustrated catalogue
that should be in every family, as II
describes and gives the price or every
article required for household use. A
sample of the extraordinary values Of
fered by this firm is shown in the illus
tration OF the lady's ulster in another
column OF this paper. These garments
are indeed wonderful values, and yet
they are but a sample OF the thousand
ard one useful articles illustrated and
described in the beautiful catalogue OF
the John NJ. Smyth Company.

Women and Their WAYS.

There is occasionally a lamentable
lack of ingenuity displayed even by a
woman. A story is told OF a man, an
enthusiast in the breeding and train
ing OF homing pigeons. who discovered
the other day great want of inge-
nuity in his wife. He took several
birds to the neighboring town, and
when half way there discovered that he
had forgotten much-needed paddock
Writing on a slip of paper, "Send the
paddock; | will be at the Craver fac
tory" he liberated bird and sent it
OH with the message. His wife saw 1t
arrive at the dove cote few minutes
later, and upon reading the note, found
the desired article. which weighed two
pounds, and tied it to the bird. To
her surprise, although she "shooed"
the bird vigorously for half an hour, Ii
would not go. At the end of that time
she was called into the house by some
domestic duty, and forgot the bird all
together. When her husband came
home that night he found a WORKOUT
bird securely anchored by his desired
paddock. 1t had not occurred to his
wife to send the paddock to him by
one of the small boys who had been
standing around watching her futile ef-
forts ali the time.-New York Tribune

Society had no charm for her, and she
foreswore all it's attractions and fri

beautiful All OF her time was devoted
TO her husband, and there was no

beauty. A daughter was born to her
and the family was complete. Mr..
Chauncey was independently wealthy.
and there was no necessity for him to
be tied down to his business affairs.
While retaining his membership in
the stock exchange he travelled extern
sively in search of health. His beau
tful wife accompanied him everywhere

mating manners won for her many
friends and she was widely popular.
There was never any marked improve
ment in Mr. Chauncey's condition and

F. P. BAKER.

Danyille, ILL.,, has more miles of
paved streets than any city of its size
in the world. For several years the
efforts of the different city administra-
tons have been directed toward paw
ing the beautiful thoroughfares OF the
city with brick. There is not rod of
any other kind of pavement in the city,
and there are nearly fifteen miles OF
smooth brick pavement. The streets
are broad, shady, well curbed, and
bordered with smooth lawns. The con-
sequence is that there is more driving
in Danville than in any other city of
its size. Almost every family In the
city owns horse and vehicle of some
kind. If they were all assembled these
different vehicles would make strik-
ing display. They range from the most
rickety one-horse chaise up to automo-
biles. In the summer there Is an al
most endless procession Of vehicles on
each street. The contractors ere just
