PARTITION OF SAMOA.
The Negotiations Are Proceeding Rap
idly.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The negoti-
ations for the partition OF the Samoan
islards are proceeding rapidly. and Of
icials here would not be surprised II
the dnal agreement were reached in the
near future The chances seem good
fer an agreement that two powers d.
vide the Islands, thus giving a dual gov
ernnent in place Of the present un-
wieldly tripartite arrangement
It seems to be generally accepted by
the negotiators that the United States
would be on cf the two powers to be
represented. and that the island Of Tu-
tuilla, on which the harbor is located,
would naturally fall 10 the lot Of the
United States. II Is suggested Great
Britain cede the Gilbert and Solomon
islands to Germany, the latter retiring
from Samoa.
The foregoing general outline was CIV
en- today in quarters well informed on
the general lires Of the negotiation, al
though it was with this reservation
tha; the understandings were merely
formative and still open to material

AN OYSTER TRUST.
Growers of Long Island Sound to Con.
solidate Their Interests.

NEW YORK, Nov. s,-The oystermen
Of Long Island sound are said to be pre-
parhg TO consolidate their interests
such an attempt was made last spring,
but the movement proved unsuccessful
because many Of the % dealers who had
combined became afraid OF being un-
dersold by other members of the union
and began cutting prices. The present
movement is said to deal with interests
capitalized as high rs s2O,OOOOOO, such
a combination viii save about $1,000, 900
year 1t is said. and will protect the
seed men from the present downward
droH OF prices.
Ten years ago the ruling price for
oysters of the first quality was 20 cents
to 81 a bushel. Export oysters were in
demand at IS to IS barrel. Now the
prices paid for marketable oysters is
only 80 70 so cents bushel and IS a
barrel is the top notch for those shipped
to Europe one reason which is given
for this decline is that the middle men
are making the money. The middle men
buy the seed which develops from oys-
ter spawn deposited on the submerged
lands Of the seed men along the Long
Island sound shores. and taking It TO
the Narragansett bay, New York and
New Jersey. they replant the seed after
the oysters have matured. They sell
their product to the scow men, as they
are called in New York city. The scow
men sell 70 the consumer.

AFFAIRS IN PONCE.
Preparations Completed for Taking
Census Of Island This Month.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PONCE. Puerto Rico. Oct. 25.-Census
officials have been appointed for all
districts Of Puerto Rico ard the first
enumeration will be taken between No
vember 10 and December 20. Already
the various officers are busily engaged
in the preliminary work and they are
making every effort and taking every
precaution to avoid errors and get com
plete and accurate data.
The Puerto Rican Benevolent Society
Of Ponce deserves much credit for the
very eficint work it has been doing in
relieving the misery and distress among
the poor of this city, especially among
the poor and sick women and children.
The society is made up Of the leading
ladies of Ponce, and has over 100 mem
bers, only eight Of whom are Americans.
The ladies work syst ematically and per
sonally visit the poor and help them.
This is quite a departure from the
ancient custom here. The society is go
ing to hold a bazaar in the remodeled
La Perla theater in December for the
purpose Of raising funds to establish an
aims house. in order to take the nu-
merous beggars off the streets Of Ponce.
There is no such institution here. When
the aims house is institu.ed a large
number of the INDECENT can thus be TAX
en- care Of for a comparatively small
sum. Now the crippled and inhrm are
seen on the streets and are supported
by the pennies given 10 them each day.
The society is een1ing to the United
States hundreds Of letters TO prominent
manufacturers and merchants, asking
for contributions Of goods TO be sold at
the bazaar. 1t is hoped there will be a
generous response, for the contributions
will serve the double purpose Of help
ing a worthy cause and Of introducing
American merchandise into what is
soon to be new market.
