SUNDAY JOURNALISM
London Editors Finally Break Over the
Traces of Traditional Dizziness.
TWO PIONEER SUNDAY PAPERS APPEAR

Day of the Week.

LONDON, April 81 a. m.-(New York
World Cablegram-Specia Telegram. y
London's two pioneer Sunday papers appear
today. They are of distinctly different type.
Mr.. Harmsworth's Sunday Mail is a frank
adaptation of the American Sunday news
paper with features Of direct human interest
and illustrations. Its method OF printing
advertisements is a faithful reproduction of
the effective style originated in America
and is an absolute innovation in English
journalism. In the initial issue Lord Kitch-
ener describes what Khartoum will be in
the twentieth century, Or. Schweninger tells
the secret of Bismarck's life, Hall Caine
writes on the life OF novelist and Clement
Scott recounts Sir Henry Irvings struggle
for fame. There is a news section on the
lines of the Daily Mail.
Sir Edward Lawson's Sunday Telegraph
is on the conventional English journalistic
model. which the unprecedented success of
the Daily Mail would seem to have conclu-
sively proved to be out of date. All of
the staff of the Daily Telegraph, Sir Edwin
Arnold, ]. p. O'Connor, Bennett Burleigh,
p. d. Trail, w. L. Courtney and others
contribute articles on what are to be their
fixed topics week by week. ]. p. O'Connor
writes THE Book of Work." Arnold on
Passing Events" Trail "a Series of Fan
tastes on Visitors from the Shades" and
Burleigh describes THE Battles of a Life
TIME The drama, finance, sport and
woman's topics are to be regularly treated
in addition, of course, to Saturdays news
from all quarters.
The Mail is by far the more attractive
and the remarkable success OF its daily issue
along the same lines is the best justification
of Alfred Harmsworth's plan. l have al
ready predicted that the other big London
dailies will be constrained soon to follow
the example of their enterprising rivals
The Daily News mildly attempted yesterday
to forestall them by publishing for the first
time what it calls THE Saturday Page for
Home Reading consisting Of special ar
ticles OF the Sunday newspaper kind. II
actually ventures an illustrated history OF
the bloomer costume. The News is the
nonconformist organ and cannot attempt a
Sunday publication without risking a large
proportion of its circulation.
The steady growth and influence OF Amer
lean journalistic methods and ideas have
walked up the London press from its long
spell of somnambulism. Admirable as II
is in some departments the pervading fail
ing of the big London daily has been the
traditional superstition that dullness is es-
sential to respectabilty.

that Cardinal Vaughan is to be nominated for
the papacy at the next conclave by a COM

ing the unpleasant state OF affairs in the
islands"
The press comment Is In the same key,
but naturally 1t is more outspoken. In
lengthy article the Kreuze Zetung charges
Great Britain with "mala fde" in the whole
matter, alleging that It is trying for its
own selfish purposes to entangle the United
States in hostilities with all the continen-
tai powers and at the same time drag It
into a policy OF expansion. The article
concludes:
we say all this regretfully. An honest
entente with Great Britain would be an
undeniable advantage. But perhaps it is
we'll thus early to be effectually unde,
ceived, as it may spare us later more pain
ful surprises"
The Boersen Courier says the reason OF
Great Britains delay in asserting to Ger
manys proposal was founded on its desire
to continue, with the aid Of the United
States, its policy OF splitting Germany" and
claims to find proof OF this attitude in the
London press, which It accuses OF resum-
ing its old tactics of slandeTing Germany
and breeding trouble between Germany and
the United States.
The Tageblatt takes Great Britain to task
for mot expressing regret at the unex-
pected policy OF repression in Samoa" and
regards its attitude toward Germany as in
sincere.
The Cologne Volks zetung says:
Great Britain's behavior in this mat
ter is symptomatic and opens an unfavor-
able vista for other pending negotiations -

KAuTz's ACTION is QUESTIONED.
Probably Justified in what He Did
without Rosc's ApnroNnI.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Official German
circles here are not inclined to attach too
much importance to the Samoan reports just
received. Favorable reference is made to
the view taken by one of the leading En-
glsh American papers to the effect that as
the provisional government was constituted
by the unanimous vote of the three consuls,
there is at least room for the argument that
1t could be dismissed by nothing less than
the unanimous action of the consuls.
In this view of the case Germany may
claim that Admiral Kautz acted hastily or
without due authority. 1t is further pointed
out that the so-called agreement" arrived
at between the consuls, of which Admiral
Kautz speaks in his proclamation, cannot
have been a unanimous one, as the con-
trary is proved by the proclamation OF Herr
Rose.
From the German standpoint, therefore, it
appears questionable IL Admiral Kautz was
entitled to use language from which II
might be inferred that he had the assent
of the German consul for his proclamation.
II offense is taken at the wording of the
proclamation issued by the German consul
the German view is that this proclamation
was issued in the Samoan language, trans
lations from which may not be very easy,
and liable to neutrality-suspicious..
In the meanwhile Admiral kautz and the
representatives of all the signatory powers
who had been notified of the intention OF
the powers to settle the Samoan question by
a joint high commission, so that the best
posted German authorities here say, 1t is
reasonable to assume that We have heard
the last of the fighting among the natives

EDITOR SHOT ON BUSY STREET
Citizen Kills Frank Griffin for Attack
ing Him in "Grif's Daily
Review"

MARYVILLE, Mo-, April s.-(Special Tele-
gram Prank Griffin, editor and publisher
OF Griffs Maryville Daily Review, was shot
three times on the main street of Maryville
at about IL o'clock this morning by c. G.
Jesse, formerly druggist here. He died
at 6 D. m. Griffin and Jesse met on the
busiest corner in town and they were
facing each other not more than few
yards apart, Jesse drew a pistol from his
right overcoat pocket and fired twice. Grif-
fin staggered like man who had been
struck Jesse followed him up and they
grappled on the crossing that Griffin had
just left and both got into the muddy street.
The editor struggled desperately TO save
himself, but Jesse shot twice more and
three of the four bullets took effect, one
passing downward through the cheek and
| lodging in the neck, one entering the neck
| just above the breast bone and one entering
the groin.
Griffin finally fell to his knees in the
mud and Jesse seized him by his long. black
hair, which hung to his shoulders, and beat
him over the head with the handle OF his
gun. Jesse was soon pulled off and ar
! rested.
| Griffins paper is purely personal organ
! similar to Brann's IconCclast, and few
Maryvile people have escaped attack
through its columns. A few days ago it
| contained the statement that Colonel C. c.
| Jesse was arranging to start gambling
| hell, in Poom which had just been va
| Gated. Jesse then swore to kill the editor.
Griffin was the most noted character in
| northwest Missouri and everybody knew
| him. His life had been threatened by a
| hundred different men. whom he had driven
! to desperation by his attacks but 1t was
known that he was game and only two men
! besides Jesse ever had the courage to try
| to kill him. He was educated for the
Catholic priesthood, but apostasiEed and be-
| came a violent assalant OF the church He
! had been in the United States circuit court
several times for sending obscene literature
| through the mail. His plant had been
wrecked several times and he had been shot
| at in the dark on a number OF occasions.
| Because of his manner of life he won the
| hatred of all classes of people and public
| sentiment is very strongly favorable to
| Jesse. Several years ago Griffin professed
| TO be converted and has since been a mem
Der OF the Presbyterian church. Since his

been even more violent than before. He

UNIONlSM is BADLY BEATEN
Result of the Elections in Ireland
Causes Some Surprise in
England.

DUBLIN, April 8.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram. 1.-The unity
conference held here Tuesday to terminate
the dissension among the Irish parties has,
If not actually failed, at least hung fire.
The attachment OF the Irish people to home
hue remains undiminished. In the elections
for the newly established county council
that have just taken place throughout Ire
land the home rule candidates have swept
the country in Munster Leinster and Con-
naught, while even in the most conserya,
tive districts of Ulster the nationalsts OBJ
tained notable success. Throughout three
nationalist provinces unionist candidates
stood in every county reckoning on the
apparently apathetic condition OF political
feeling supervening on factionist dissensions
to enable them 10 slip in and secure large
representations If not control of some OF
the most important new caunty boards
But, except in isolated cases where the
unionists on personal grounds were elected
unopposed, they have been overwhelmingly
defeated and the policy of importing poll
itics into these elections was denounced by
John Redmond and his friends, who argued
that liberation should be shown to the
unionists who should be accorded fair rep
resentation, as the best way OF starting
new bodies on their career. Dillon, on
the contrary recommended that no quar-
ter be extended TO the enemies of home
rule until home rule had been attained.
Among the most notable OF the defeated
unionists are Lord Castletown, Lord Mayo,
marquis OF ormonde, Earl Rosa, Lord
Langford, all of whom stood in their own
counties, where they have extensive prop
critics and where under the county govern
ment system recently abolished they yir-
tually had the nomination Of the governing
bodies. Lord Frederick Fitzgerald, uncle Of
the duke OF Leinster, defeated a nationalist
! candidate by narrow majority at May
