third time was fatal. He had finally
succeeded in his efforts.
The man had been having trouble ,

had done. After the police had an

the third and successful effort. Vainly
did the officer struggle with him. The
burning acid had already been drunk
and was seething inside him. The han |
of death was clutching the throat out
of which the officer was trying to
choke the poison. In the struggle the
fiery liquid had been spilled over the
face of the suicide and the hands of
the policeman, soaring both. Before
he could be taken into the hack he
gave one last cOnvulsive shudder, his
eyes ablaze, and another victim had
passed by the suicide route.
The body was at once taken to the
police station and placed in the same
cell that he had already occupied dur
ing the day. The features were tight
ly drawn and livid from the burning
acid that he had spilled in his last
desperate effort.
A. Schneider was about 80 years old.
He first arrived here about three yeas
ago. He was formerly one of the Gus
toms inspectors, and while in this p1-
sition he always conducted himsalf
well. Over a year ago he began TO
have trouble with his wife, and went
away to the States. About three
months ago he again returned to Ho-
nolulu and began to work for the Elec-
trio Co, where he was employed at
the time of his death. He was at one
time a member of Company F of the
regulars, and the remains will be tai.
en- in charge by Capt. Ludewig's con-
mand. The funeral will be held this
afternoon.

| APIA, Samoa, May 22.-Tne Herald
Tally:
The Commissioners, which have been
appointed by the Powers to investigate
| the cause of the trouble in Samoa,
| fees at the International Hotel, which
are most suitable for them to transact
their business, being convenient to the
public and yet free from any annoy
ance from the street. Since their ar
rival the English, American and Ger
| man warships have supplied a guard
| in turn. AS far as we can ascertain,
the business done has consisted in in
terviews with several gentlemen who
have expressed their views to them as
to the political situation, in view of
| the fact that the Commissioners have
expressed their desire to meet any of
| the residents that are in position to
| give any information as to Samoa and
Samoan affairs. We have also been
informed that the Commissioners have
received letters both from Tanu and
Mataafa. These the Commissioners
have replied to, but as yet no definite
day has been fixed for a reception
That the Commissioners will do their
best to put Things on saAbeTrel ~ III =
We have not the slightest doubt. They
have full power. The Consuls, and all
other officials, even the ships of war
in the harbor are at their orders. They
are in position to deal with the Ques-
ton fully, and as they think neces-
sary. We have heard that the Com
mission has already had several inter
views with number of gentlemen who
are well acquainted with the native
and his customs, and that the same
are most anxious to meet others who
are able to give them information,
which might assist them in forming a
just opinion. We hear also that the
Commission is in unanimity on all
points, so that we may look forward
to an early settlement Of the question.
We would advise residents of Apia to
be careful in accepting information re-
tailed on the beach as to the dOingS
of the Commission, as it is not always
reliable and very often injurious to
the good they may be doing. That the
question of the welfare alone of Sa-
moa and Samoans is the desire of the
Three Treaty Powers we very much
doubt, as it has got beyond that, and
the question has become one of pres
tige of a nation, so that we in Samoa
cannot hope that this Commission will
be able to give all that is required to
make Samoa an island where capital
Will find security, our opinion being
that until such time that one Power
has the control, no capital will be in
vested in the island, and We hold the
opinion that no patching up OF the
present Treaty will be a success, under
any circumstance.
