complications prior to the admiral's
arrival the most important fact brought
out being that the three consuls, Amer
lean, British and German, at the time
OF the admiral's arrival at Apia,
Had Recognized tho Revolutionists
under Mataafa. The Mataafa uprising
after Chief Justice Chambers decision
in favor of Malietoa Tanu, the admiral
indicates, was fomented largely by the
German consul, who insisted upon rec
ognizing Mataafa as king. Chaos was
threatened and the American and Brit
ish residents considered themselves in
peril of their lives. A massacre was
feared and under these circumstances,
the American and British consuls
joined with the German in recognizing
the provisional government under Ma
taafa. To Admiral Kautz, upon his ar
/, rival, however, the British and Ameri-
can consuls explained that they had
been forced to this action by the duress
of the situation. The admiral, at the
conference aboard the Philadelphia,
having satisfied himself that Chief JUS
tice Chambers decision was in accord
ance with the Berlin treaty, Informed
the consuls that they had
No Power to Violate It's Provisions,
and with the full acquiesence of the
British and American consuls, he issued
his manifesto dissolving the provisional,
government, and Malietoa was crowned
king. The counter-p.oclamation of thu
German consul and the rebelling of thu
native villages, as recounted in th'
press dispatches, followed.

THE LAWYERS VACATION.

The vacation OF two weeks agreed
Ipon by the lawyers, was altogether
too short a period. AS new departure
it was polite measure TO Tx 1t for
a short period but in the coming years,
it should be extended to two and three
months: This can be done, if the bust
ness community is properly educated
TO accept it, The lawyers in the busy
cities and towns of the Mainland, are
gradually extending the vacation time
to even three months, those OF July,
August and September. The courts all
setting the example.
There is no desire to avoid work IN
extending these vacations, but rather d
desire to do better work. The strain
on professional men is NOW 50 hard, 1t
results in the premature decay of many
OF them. Worse than this, it is known
that of late, the professional men over
taxed by work, resort to stimulants in
order to meet emergencies. The head
of a well organized business concern
does less active business as. he grows
older. because the mechanism of the
business can be conducted by younger
men. With the professional men, on
the contrary, increase in age brings
increase in serious business, and 1t is
not easy for them to share their
RESPONSIBILITIES with others. The pro-
fessional relation is confidential and
cannot be delegated as a rule.
Long resting periods are necessary IL
these days of unnatural activity, ant
the professional men should secure
them.
AS there are no distinct seasons il
these Islands, it will not be easy tt
establish a closed season, but the neet
of it is nevertheless great, especlall.

THE CONSTITUTION AND p bRTO

The gentlemen who are so indignant
over the decision of our Supremei
Court because it sustained the New
lands resolution CT annexation, which
virtually declares that the Constitu-
ton does not extend to these Islands,
find cordial sympathisers in the. Por-
to Rico commissioners in Washington
who persist in urging that the Consti-
tuition extends to Porto Rico, because
that island has been coded to the
United States, and is part of the
American territory. Their argument is
almost identically the same as the ar
gument advanced by our local pro-
constitutionalists, namely, the United
States owns the island, and therefore
the Constitution covers it.
But President Mckinley refuses to
agree with them, and holds the same
views taken by our local Supreme
! Court, that the Constitution does not
! cover the island There are scores OF

One of the many ways in which a

saying that all women asked was an
