many. However. We are credulous
enough TO believe that these Apian diff
fercnces will be composed without
resort to any hostile demonstration on
either side. One thing Is clear, never
sheiess, and that is the German consul
clearly overstepped his authority I'M
der the trlpartite agreement, and did
so, no doubt wlthout the knowledge or
connivance OF the German government.
The situation while critical is not al
together hopeless.
AS stated before the present difficulty
originated In the choice OF successor
to King Malletoa. who died last Aug
ust. Chief Mataafa. who is barred
from ruling by the treaty OF Berlin,
overthrowing the king appointed by the
supreme court Of Samoa. Under the
treaty OF Berlin. negotiated In 1883 with
Great Britain, Germany and the United
States as the slgnatorles, Samoa main
talns It's autonomy and neutrality be-
fore the world under the trlpartlte
guaranty Of those powers. The Ger
mans have coveted the islands since
1885, when they attempted to seize
them. The interest Of the United
States dates from 1873, when by treaty
with the late king Samoa was recog-
nlzed as a sovereign power. our gov
eminent agreed TO use its good offices
In behalf of Samoa as against I'M
friendly nations, and the rights to
naval and coallng station in the harbor
Of Pago-Pago--thc real cause of Amer
lean coucern--were coded to our gov
eminent. The treaty Of Berlin in 1889
was supposed to settle the quarrel rs
ITO the disposition OF the islands, but
owing TO German ambition and the
comparative Indifference of the United
States to Samoan affairs. the tripartitc
agreement has not worked with entire
smoothness.
The action of the German consul In
espousing Mataafa's cause cdn in no
wise be condoned by his home govern
ment without q fragrant violation OF
the treaty obligations. But Germany is
ambitious for colonial possessions, and
she may see some loophole that diplo-
matists failed to provide against. In
the language OF Sir Lucius O'Trigger,
1T is 4 very pretty quarrel as 1t
stands"

A Prophet ofEvil.

Prof. Sumner, OF Yale, who has been
heard from most frequently in his adj
vocacv of free trade, is now trying his
hand on the more complex problems OF
the results OF the recent war with Spain,
declaring with offensive presumption
that, the popular conception OF these
results IS incorrect. The knowledgeous
professor would have US believe that
Spain has triumphe6 over. the United
States. His argument is that the Span
lards have succeeded in unloading upon
US u number of unruly Islands she could
not control and saddied upon this coun-
ourselves OF. He predicts many dire
things for the Nation. his screed being
pitched in a.hieh pessimistlc key.
