ENGLAND is OUT OF S AMOA.
Germany and United States Take Title
to the Islands.

to the Islands.
1t is announced officially that Great
Britain renounces her rights in Samoa in
favor of Germany. Under the Anglo
German agreement, which is subject. to
the approval of the United States, Ger
many comes into possession Of the larger
islands of Upolu and Savaii, and the
United States retains control of Tutuila.
Germany renounces all rights to the
Tonga islands, $50 miles from Samoa
the Savage islands, midway between Sa-
moa and Tonga, and ccdes to Great
Britain two islands in the Solomon
group and makes certain concessions to
Great Britain in South Africa.
Great Britain already holds the Fiji
islands, to the west of Tonga, and the
Loyalty islands, still farther west and
on the line from Samoa to Australia.
There are nine inhabited islands in the
Samoan group. Under the new agree
ment all of them except Tutuila will go
to Germany.
The main interest of the United States
in Samoa is in the harbor of Pango-
Pango and the possession Of the island of
Tutuila. This Government has never
claimed control of any of the other ISL
ands but joined in a treaty with Great
Britain and Germany because of the in
terests of American citizens in the plan
tations Of Upolu. The commission ap-
pointed to settle the controversies as to
the land titles confirmed the titles Of
Germans to $4,000 acres, the British to
10000, and the Americans to 1000

cent intervention.

cept Intervention.
The address delivered by the British
premier MT the lord mayors banquet In
London. while II dealt TO some extent
with the issues of the AngIo-Boer war.
was manifestly intended In the main for
the ears Of continental Europe. as q
warning against any schemes of interfer-
ence and plain intimation that Great
Britain would yield to no threats and no
moral coercion. Intervention would mean
war with the power or combination ven
turing upon il, declared Lord Salisbury
in practically explicit language, and we
hay rest assured that no European pow
er is Ready to risk actual resort to arms.
Lord Salisbury set out with refer
ence to the growth of cordial feelings
and happy relations between England
and the United States. I'VE feel" he
said, that we can now always look for
sympathy and a fair hearing among
those who share with us SO vast mis-
sion for the advancement of mankind"
This alone, the premier implied, would
prevent hostile and hasty action by the
continental powers, but in addition the
samoan treaty was. referred to as some
thing which, besides being satisfactory
in itself and advantageous to both sigma
tories, was particularly interesting at
this juhcture because it showed the world
that. the British German relations were
all Englishmen could desire.
After some discussions of the causes
of the war and the alleged military mis-
takes of the Government, after en-
phatic declarations that not territorial
or .pecuniary interests were actuating
Britain In her African policy, but the
desire to secure political equality and
security for all races, the premier pro-
ceeded to deal openly with the rumors
of foreign intervention. He reassured
his audience and the vaster audience out
side. Let no man imagine, he said, that
the conflict will be concluded in obedience
to the dictation Of foreign governments.
In the first place, Great Britain will not
tolerate interference, and in the second
place there is no such idea in the mind
Of any government in the world. Inter
national law forbids it, declared Lord
Salisbury.

weds Mrs. Hazen Privately but With
out Secrecy.
Admiral George Dewey and Mrs Mil
dred Hazen were married at the Presby.
terry of st. Paul's Catholic Church.
Washington, at 10 o'clock Thursday
morning. In anticipation of this event
Washington society has been in a state
of feverish excitement for the last two
weeks, since the engagement was an
nounced.
1t was one Of the simplest weddings
ever held in the national capital. Ii
united fame with beauty and wealth, but
there was nothing to indicate either in
the simple ceremony performed in the
plain apartment of Catholic priest.
There were no distinguished witnesses,
no bridesmaids, no flowers, no music.
There was no gaping crowd Of curious
onlookers, there were only the bride and
groom, the mother and sister of the
bride, Lieut.. Caldwell, the admiral's sec
retary, Father Mackin and his two as
sistants.
In love, as in war, George Dewey had
no hesitation or ostentation. While the
world waited to hear when Dewey ex-
pected TO attack the Spanish feet, there
came flashing under the seas and across
two continents the brief but startling
news that Dewey had destroyed the
Spanish fleet and held an empire in his
grasp. So, while society waited anxious
ly to know when Dewey was to be mar
ried, and who would be invited, the sim
pie announcement went out from Father
Mackin's house that George Dewey and
Mrs. Mildred Hazen were married in
the presence of proper witnesses at the
presbytery.

Train No. $40 on the Michigan Central
was wrecked about 8 o'clock Thursday
night three miles north of Alexis, Mich,
evidently for the purpose Of plunder. The
plates holding the rails together had been
removed, and as the heavy train passed
over them they spread, throwing the six
were fatally injured and large number
were hurt more or less severely.
Other passengers were bruised and
shaken up, some Of them receiving slight
wounds. William Hamilton, the engi-
neer, was thrown through the window Of
his cab and was badly bruised by the
fall as well as cut about the face and
head. He retained, however, sufficient
presence of mind when he recovered from
the shock to hurry to his engine and
draw the fire, thus preventing an explo-
sion.
The train left Toledo at z o'clock un-
der command of Conductor Harkens. 1t
was running at high speed when Alexis
was passed and dashed off the track
while going at the rate Of forty miles an
hour. The crash sent passengers in ev-
cry direction, and it was at first thought
that many were killed. That none lost
their lives was due to the fact that the
coaches were very heavy and withstood
the shock.
After the wreck two men were detect
ed in pilfering and were chased two
miles. They had taken two overcoats,
and these were recovered. The men were
not captured.
Two freight trains had passed over the
road in safety short time before.
Where the rails were spread it was
found that the bolts that held the fish
plates had been unscrewed. The nuts
were lying on the ties and the threads
Of the bolts were not marred in any way.
A couple of big wrenches, such as sec
ton hands use, were found lying beside
the track, indicating how the rails had
been loosened.
The early reports of the wreck were
alarming, and the railroad company sum-
moned every available physician from
Toledo and elsewhere. A special hospital
train was ordered from Detroit, and the
injured were taken there. Some OF the
less seriously hurt were taken to Toledo
on q Lake Shore train.

CABLE FOR PACIFIC.
AN INVESTIGATION SHOWS PRO
JECT TO BE PRACTICABLE.
Rear Admiral Bradford, After Going
over the Proposed Route, Favors'
Laying the Cable Bradstrcet's Re-
ports Cereals Dull.

Rear Admiral Bradford has completed
the investigation of the official naval pro-
ject of transpaci6c submarine telegraph
cable between San Francisco. and Ma
Mia in time to supply Congress with all
the essential Information at the opening
Of the next session. All doubt has been
removed regarding the practicability of
the enterprise by the adoption of Homo
lulu, Midway and Guam as relay stations
on the long line and by the discoveries
made from the naval survey ship Nero as
to the character of the ocean bed between
those points. The physical practicability
OF the line now being assured, it only
remains for Congress to weigh the mill
tary necessities and the commercial ad-
vantages to accrue from the construction
and operation of the system.
