ADHERES TO THE TREATY
America Objects 10 German'ys Plan
 10 Reopen Samoan Question.

Washington, March f6.-As negotia- United States, Great Britain and Ger many respecting the kingship success sion in Samoa. It is said that any ac- tion of the so-called provisional gov ernment that would tend to force a crisis prematurely would have mis- ment is regarded as being particularly solicitous that there should be no out break at this time, but unfortunately seeks to impose conditions in pursuit of this purpose that if accepted, would seriously compromise the alleged rights of both the United States and Great Britain. Our government pre- fers to adhere strictly to the lines of the Berlin treaty so long as that con- vention remains unchanged.
 It is understood here that the pro- visional government referred to in the news dispatches, is nothing more than an assemblage of some Of the sub chiefs and that even Mataafa, the can didate for the kingship, has not joined it.
 Meanwhile the three governments are somewhat divided over the propo- sition to undertake the reopening of t4e controversy over the succession to the throne. The present contention of the United States and Great Britain being that as the chief justice was clothed with specific authority to deal with this question, not even the treaty powers have any power in the matter. This, if supported, would overturn the German contention that Chief Justice Chambers decision be disregarded and new arrangement be affected directly between the powers. As already stated, this whole subject is now matter of negotiation and with many side issues involved will probably consume good deal of time.

JOSEPH MEDILL DEAD
The Veteran Editor Of inc Chicago
 Tribune Turns in r3O."

Chicago, March 16.-Joseph Medill the venerable editor or the Chicago Tribune died at San Antonio, Texas this morning at his winter home in that city.
 Mr. Medill was one Of the most fla nous editors in the United States and was the last surviving member of the school of newspaper men as repre- sented by the elder Bennett, Charles 4. Dana, Horace Greeley and Thurlow Weed. Mir. Medin was born at New Brunswick, Canada, April 6, 1923, and when nine years old removed with his father to Stark county, Ohio, where his life was that Of the average farm boy in Ohio in those early days. Later he studied law and practiced at Massilon. at COshocton, one of the centers Of anti-free sentiment in the state where he had some interesting experiences. Three years later he established the Cleveland Leader and in 1854 was one of the organizers of the republican party in Ohio
 Shortly after the organization of the republican party MT Medill went to Chicago and iii May, 1855, with two partners he bought the Tribune. MT. Medill was a most earnest supporter of Abraham Lincoln for the republican nomination for President in 1860 and it was his work more than any other one influence that gave MT. Lincoln the nomination. In 1870 he was a member of the Illinois constitutional conven- ton and was the author or the minor ity representation clause providing for minority representation in the Ieg1s- lature. Following the great fire of 1871 it was found necessary to place a man of large affairs at the head of the city government of Chicago who would see to it that the rebuilding of the city was started on a bread and liberal scale. Beside that machine politicians had the city by the threat and MT. Medill was felt to be the one man to break their power. He was nominated and elected by large majority, his administration standing today as a model fer others to copy.
 In 1874 he purchased a controlling interest in the Tribune and gradually built up one of the greatest newspaper properties in the world. While a re- publican Mr. Medill was very inde- pendent, as the columns of his paper attested and in several campaigns he was charged with lukewarmness for the republican ticket. Notably was this so in the campaign of 1880 when Garfield and Hancock were the oppos-'l ing candidates. Mir MediH was a great admirer of James c. Blaine and did much to bring about the nomination of the Maine man in 1884.
 For several years MT. Medill has not taken an active interest in the conduct of the Tribune allowing that duty to fall upon his son-in-law, Robert WI Patterscn, man trained under MT | Med1lI's personal instruction and pass ing through all grades of work on the | paper from reporter to editor-in-chief l
