The SAMOAN AGREEMENT
Germany and America to Divide the
IsIand--EngIand Renounces
All Her Claims.

Berlin, Nov. SIT was semi-official-
ly announced this morning that an
agreement, subject to the approval OF
the United States, had been arrived al
between Great Britain and Germany
by virtue of which the Samoan act is
abrogated and the islands of Upolu,
Savaay and the small adjacent ISL
ands fall to Germany as free property,
and the island of Tutuila and subsi-
dary islands go to us. Great Britain,
it is added, renounces any claim to
the Samoan islands and Germany in
turn renounces any claim to the Toga
islands and Savage islands in favor
of Great Britain, ceding Choisul and
San Isabel, two easterly islands of the
Colon group, with their insular sur.
roundings to Great Britain. The
consular representatives of the two
powers in Samoa and the Toga islands
will be withdrawn for the present and
German subjects will have the same
rights as British subjects, in regard
to the free and unimpeded enlistment
of native laborers in the whole Sol.
omon group in possession of Great
Britain, including Choisul and San
Isabel.

No Place for Paris GuiIlotiue.

Chicago Tribune: Paris-The gull
lotine is just now homeless. Some
months ago the municipal council, in
obedience to the powerful influence of
property owners, decreed that public
executions should no longer take
place in the famous Square de la Ro
quette, but the choice of another place
was postponed for time. 1t is now
stated that the authorities have on
their hands an accumulation of GRIM
inals awaiting execution.
The aldermen are at loss to know
where the CHASTITY machine may be
erected So lar every proposal of a
new place has met such fierce opposi-
tion from the inhabitants of the
neighborhood that they had to be
abandoned. Finally the municipal
council, whose majority is against
capital punishment anyhow, notified
the state in the person of the present
prefect of police, that the municipality
was not called upon to furnish a suit
able spot for the barbarous practice.
This may raise an interesting con-
flict
Deibler, jr., hereafter will probably
be compelled to operate on some
empty lot Just outside the city limits.

which normally is democratic, only
three democrats were elected on the

mayor over the present mayor, who
returned twice by large pluralities. In
Amsterdam the democratic mayor was
replaced by republican. In the as

The Best Place to Go to Study the
Natives.
The theaters are the very places to
study the japanese, says Toxic cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun. In
many theaters the entire house is di-
vided by rails into square pens, by 4
feet, intended for four japanese, but
often containing half dozen. The
men and women are bare
foot and walk the narrow
dividing rails to reach their
reserved seats The patrons kneel
within these square pens, or, when
there are nopens, they squat upon the
hoor in little circular groups and
smoke, eat, drink, fan themselves and
chatter. Many come in and go out at
random; children run to and fro. Fre-
quentlyethe SPECTATORS bring luncheon
and pass the day within the theater,
the play continuing uninterruptedly.
The stage, which, in some theaters,
revoives to change scenes, has two de-
tached projections three feet wide, eX-
tending among the audience. Upon
these projections the performers run,
reciting and acting.
Their acting is sufficiently curious.

actors face while he is speaking. The
prompter, dressed all in black gown,

all around the stage. Other persons,
also in black, run to and fro across
the stage. Those costumed in black
are supposed to be invisible. Stage
carpenters and helpers often stand
upon the stage and gaze and laugh at
the actors, and so on. The checking
of the umbrellas and wooden shoes of
the audience and the general scramble
for them after the performance are
very amusing.

London Echo: The Haveian oration
was delivered at the Royal College of
Physicians recently by DR.. George
Vivian Poore. In his discourse DR..
Poore made the following suggestive
remarks on crime and disease:
1T is TO the leaders Of medicine
that we owe the recognition of the
fact that conduct which we once re-
garded as sin, calling for cruel and
revengeful punishments, is in reality
disease, which must indeed be con-
trolled with firmness, but firmness
tempered with mercy rather than ven
geance. There can be no doubt that
one of the causes which has led to
the decrease of our prison population
and the increase of our asylum popu-
lation has been the gradual apprecia-
tion by the educated public that much
disorderly conduct is, in reality, dis
ease"

creased Ma joritiCs.


Boston, Nov. S.-Figures stand to-
day practically as announced last
night. The plurality of Crane, repub-
lican, for governor, is within n few
votes of 65,125. The comment among
republicans to-day is in effect that the
result is an Endorsement by Massachu-
setts of the policy of the administra-
tion in the Philippines. On the other
hand the democrats are pointing to
the great loss in the republican vote,
claiming that Massachusetts thereby
entered protest against expansion.
Especial emphasis is laid upon the
fact that $4,000 republicans refrained
from voting. Democrats are jubilant
over the victory in Boston, which, aft.
eg giving the republicans plurality
for governor in the past three years,
gave Paine a plurality of 62,000. The
democrats gain seven seats in the leg
islature. The vote for governor, com.
plete, is as follows: Crane, repub.
lican, 16s, ,S76; Paine, democrat, 1913, ,S14.
The republican plurality is $4,000.
