IRRITATION FELT IN LONDON
GERMAN SUCCESS IN SECURING UNANIsnTY MOI
PLEASING.

GERMAN SUCCESS IN SECURING UNANIMlTf NOT
PLEASING
London April 15.-Germany has drawn the first
blood in the Samoan negotiations at the expense OF
Great Britain in securing the important point OF
unauinity in the decisions OF the Commission
against which the Marquis Of Salisbury held OUT
until C;ermany's nsistence forced him 10 knuckle
under Up 10 the last moment Inspired notes ema-
mating from the British Foreign ONCE, declared
that Great Britain would not assent TO unanimty
Only the night before the German Minister OF
Foreign Affairs. Baron Won Bnlow, made the an
nouucement that Great Britain had agreed 10 una
uimity and after The Associated Press had an
nounoed from Berlin that Great Britain mad agreed
n unanimity an inspired note was circulated as
serting II 10 be incorrect that the British Premier
and Foreign Minister had accepted unanimity.
Raron Won Bulow and Count Won Hatzfeldt-Wil-
denburg tho German Ambassador at London can
claim the credit for this victory. II was due 10
their firm attitude and able handling OF the neso-
tiations Baron Won Bulow careful in the
po,cbstaq Yesterday 10 make it clear that the
limited States had not opposed Germany's proposal
for unanirnity and that the Marquis OF Salisbury
alone offered objections until an assent was wrung
from him.
The note Of well-earned satisfaction ringing
throughout the German Foreign Minister'S an
nouncenent that Great Britain had yielded caused
irritation here which is reflected in the comments
~ the newspapers this morning. The Morning
POST speaks caustcally OF Baron Won Buiow
.rnisnlaced parade OF hrmness in reference TO the
maintenance of German right, and complains that
he announced the agreement TO unanmity IN
the tone Of a Minister who has achieved great
and glorious diplomatic victory
All the English papers were opposed to unanim-
nv declaring that the Commission could never
under such circumstances come to an agreement.
The Speaker" says:
THE rule Of unanmity any point is hardly
reasonable but the rule of absolute unanimty is
unworkable.'
'oThe Spectator expresses the belief that the rule
n unanirnity appears be intended to reduce the
Commission TO a mere group Of reporters.
The selection of c. y. T. Eliot, Of the British
Embassy at Washington. to represent Great Brit
ain ON the Samoan Commission has given satisfac-
ton. He is described being both strong and
oonciliatory and as Of the most versatile OF
nen as well as a distinguished scholar and phiolo-
gist. THE Speaker referring to Mr.. Eliots APP
pointment. remarks:
"A man who has learned so much apparently
without effort can trusted grasp the situation
In Samoa rapidly and deal with the persons con-
cerned with minimum friction. ,
The English newspapers have naturally doomed
the 'brothers in arms" the British ana American
hueiackets at Samoa, and portraits OF Admlral
Kautz have figured prominently In the papers.
