The Situation in the Samoan Islands IL
Regarded Serious in Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. @. (SpeciaD.-Tne situa-
ton in the Samoan Islands is realized here
TO be full Of gravity. For some time past
there has been an exchange OF oorrespon-
dence between the three Governments
party to the treaty of Berlin respecting the
choice OF a successor to the late King
Malietoa, and some friction has developed
owing to the strict adherence of the United
States Government to the terms of the
treaty. ,
It was known here that the British and
American consular officers at Apia have
been acting in accord in the present in
volved political situation, and although
the interests of the United States may not
be compared with those OF Germany, yet
their rights under the treaty are equal, and
it may be stated they will be maintained.

NEW YoRK'S FINANCIAL POWER.
The Views of the Governor of the Union
Bank of London.

LONDON (By Cable).-At the s~emi-annual
meeting of the Union Bank of London few
days ago Mr.. schuester, the Governor,
during the course of his report, said the
United States had become a most i'm
portant factor, which must not be over
looked in forecasting the future. He
added that the remarkable activity
OF trade in the United States, after a
successful war and prospective new mar
kets, together with abundant harvests, had
created an unprecedented trade balance in
favor of that country, which had already
made itself felt on this side, and for the
first time he believed 1t might be said that
1t was not Europe which had financed the
United States, but New York which had
financed Europe.
During the last few months the United
States had loaned a considerable amount
OF cash, and its discounts in London and
Berlin and its power to obtain gold for very
large amounts whenever it chose must not
be lost sight OF.

VACANT the fish which got away, how
ever prodIgious the duck which went south
to Galveston unframed, Uncle Johnny
Waldock had the same quiet, credulous
soothing smile, that made every man his
friend and every friend his champion.
There were few men on earth Ike him.
few men OF his breadth and depth OF
goodness, and it can be said that no
mans death has ever been mourned more
deeply by the fishers and hunters Of WI
chita than his.
He had been soldier-sn officer in the
Crimean war. a man who had fought in
the blazing environs OF Sebastopol; a
lieutenant in Company D. 18th Illinois
who went in at the beginning of the Civil
war and stayed in 1t until the sound Of
the last gun echoed over the hills and the
last man turned to home and peace.
His life was gentle and the elements so
mixed in him that all his fellows could
exelaim: '"This was a man."

farm and near II were lakes. In the past
twelve years countless hunters and fish

lakes, either 20 pull the glinting bass
