THAT COMMISSION.
The samoan Tribunal. Duly Instructed,
preparea IN Start

Prepares to Start.
WASHINGTON, April 15.--After
bearing this morning from the British
and German embassies, the state de-
partment was enabled to announce
positively that the three parties to the
Berlin treaty had agreed upon the in
structions to be given their Samoan
commissioner and that it was certain
that the commission would leave San
Francisco April % for Samoa on the
Badger.
The instructions to the commission
ers are identical, the three govern
ments having accepted form which
compromises the differences which
have existed up to this point. The COM
mission will be empowered to deal with
the situation as it finds it in the Samo-
an islands upon it's arrival. This APP
plies to acts necessary to place the af-
fairs of the islands in a peaceful and
satisfactory condition for the time be-
ing, and whatever the commission does
in this direction is understood to be
of temporary character and subject
to the approval of the three powers.
AS to the merits of the bitter con-
troversy between the representatives
OF the powers on the islands which
led up to the unfortunate outbreak of
April l. the commissioners are expected
to make thorough, impartial investi-
cation and report the results to their
respective governments. The latter will
by ordinary diplomatic exchange apply
any corrections that may seem to be
necessary.
The commissioners will have no pow
er to alter the treaty of Berlin. They
may make recommendations to that
end. and where they are unanimous it
is probable that the recommendation
VIII be accepted for changes in the
| treaty

Don't Go Into Particulars.

When you meet politician "
OF strictly business kind,
Who at last has climbed the ladder
And left all his past behind,
You must compliment him shrewdly
III you don't want any row;
You can say you're glad he got there,
But you needn't mention how.
You can speak with admiration
or the place he's risen to d,
And talk about the future =
And the things that he will do,
But brevity is safer.
Simply make your little bow
And say you're glad he got there.
And you needn't mention how.
