THE SAMOAN TREATY.
Was Reported FavorabIy To senate
Yesterday.

Washington. December 20.-Ths Senate
COMMITTEES on foreign relations today au.
thorized favorable report upon the two
treaties negotiated between Great Britain
and Germany, for the dissolution of the
tri-partits agreement for ths control OF
the Samoan Islands. Senator Bacon, one
OF the new Democratic mem bers Of the
committee Was the only opponent Of the
treaty and he did not seek to delay the
reporting OF 1t to the Senate. His opposi-
ton was directed towards the acquisition
BY his country Of the island Of Tutuila
and his opposition to that was based up
on the contention that the consent of the
islanders should be first secured. He was
mst-on this proi osition by the statement
that the natives were nothing more than
tribes and with the argument
that the United States could not afford to
forego the opportunity 10 secure comrlets
control OF Pago Pago hart Or which this
treaty furnishes.
