THE CABINET MEETING.
Samoan Situation Discussed Instructions Tor
Philippine Commissioners.

Washington, Jan. 2o.-All Of the
members OF the cabinet were present at
today's meeting. The situation In Sa-
moa was under discussion. but in the
absence Of an official or late Informal
ton 1t is thought no action viii be TAX
en- al once beyond asking for a confer
ence between the ambassadors OF the
three Powers. which have concurrent
Jurisdiction over the island under the
present treaty.
II was stated that il must be pre-
sumed that whatever overt action was
taken by the German consul in Apia
was not with the knowledge or con-
sent of his sovereign. 1t Is believed
that conference of the three Powers
will be held at Berlin, and at an early
day.
The instructions to the Philippine
commissioners have been prepared by
the secretary OF state. and no doubt
they will be presented to the commits
sioners. this afternoon or tomorrow.
before they leave for New York.
They will be asked to inquire into
he condition. characteristics and edu-
cation of the people of the Philippine
group; the extent and character OF the
government in force in each ana all
other facts necessary 10 "a good knowl-
edge of the people their laws. customs
and social condition.
The commissioners expect to inter-
pref to the people the sentiments of
friendship and good will of this gov
eminent and to explain that we do IIot
come as conquerors. but friends anx-
ious for their well-being and advance
ment in the way of civilization.

signed new tariff for Porto Rico
which will go in operation. on Feb. !
next. The regulations and general
makeup of this tariff win BE- along the
lines of that recently put into operation

TIE HAWAIIAN BILL.
lis Erie nds Will Erdeavor to Have It Taken
Up at Early Date.

Washington, Jan. 20.-The friends Of
the Hawaiian bill in the House Of
Representatives will make an effort TO
take it UP ut an early day. and they
express confidence that it will get a
hearing. The bill was agreed To in
comMittee some days ago and Chairman
Knox of the committee on territories
Is drawing the report. There was some
idea that the bill might be taken up
this week. but owing to the press Il
business il Went over With the under
standing that Il strong effort would be
maze next week to get a hearing then
or soon thereafter,
Mr.. Knox and Mr.. Hit, the latter
being one of the Hawaiian commits
sioners, say that no purpose is mani
tested to postpone the legislation until
the next Congress meets. They sa,
also that it is imperative that legisla-
ton of some character shall be enacted,
otherwise some 10000 contract labor
japanese viii be brought into Hawaii
and then into the United States. For
this reason the extension of United
States immigration restrictions to Ha-
wall is held to be of first Importance
A similar view is taken as to extend
ing the United States customs and rev
enue laws to the island. The latter
extension is effected by a special bill
which has already passed the House
and is pending in the Senate.
There is a growing disposition among
those interested in the legislation to
secure the passage of the bill as a
whole very soon and in the event that
it is not practicable to secure the en-
actment of such special features as are
most pressing.
