NEWS ABOUT SAMOA.
Senator Morgan Says the Islands Must Be
Divided Up between the Three Ma.
tiOns-Secretary Hay Talks.

Washington, April Is. Senator John
I. Morgan, Of Alabama, leading
member Of the foreign relations COM
mittee, when asked for an expression
on the Samoan problem, said: There
is only one permanent solution Of the
Samoan question. That is partition
Of the island by the three great pow
ers, which have by common desire just
formed a commission to reconcile the
differences between, themselves and
the native Samoans."
The secretary of state in converse
ton said that neither of the three
powers to the treaty OF Berlin had
scored victory in the arrangement
of the Samoan matter nor suffered
defeat. All three of them were, he
believed, actuated by the same desire
to reach peacea5le and honorable
solution Of a state of things, which
was not only most regrettable at this
time, but likely, if neglected, to 60
rapidly from bad to worse.

TO ENFORCE THE LAW.
Westero Union and Postal TelegrsDh Coin.
panies Refuse to obey Kansas Statute
and Big Damage Suits Result.

Topeka, Kan, April l7.-War has
been declared against the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph compa-
MES for refusing to reduce telegraph
tolls in Kansas, in accordance with
the law passed at the recent extra SEES
sion OF the legislature. Late Satur-
day POI civil cases were filed against
the Western Union for damages aggre-
eating SEQ, 100, and one suit against
the Postal for 500 damages The
plaintiffs in the suits against the
Western Union are L. Blackman, q
wholesale beer agent, and Josiah Jor-
dan. ex-county superintendent OF
schools. The suit against the Postal
was filed by Kasse baum, local COM
mission merchant.
The new law reduces ten-word tele-
grams in Kansas to Is cents and allows
one cent for each additional word. II
places telegraph companies under the
control Of the court Of visitation just
established, and gives that court au-
thority to make any change in the
rates necessary to make them reason
able. Although the court has been
organized now for week, the tele-
graph companies have not put in
the new rates The law says
that the companies must pay 500
fine for each failure to comply
with the law. Blackman and Jordan
wrote ont 2O1 kilograms to as many
different people in Kansas and de-
manded that they be sent at the re-
duced rate prescribed by law. They
rendered the local agent u cents for
each message. He refused to send the
messages for the reduced rate. Then
they hunted up lawyer and brought
suit against the company for 500 dam
ages for each Of the 20l kilograms.
The suits were filed with a country
justice OF the pence and they are set
for hearing April H.
The fling of these suits will force
the companies to secure ruling on
the constitutionality of the new law
at the earliest possible moment 1t
will be almost impossible to prevent
such annoyances arising from every
section Of the state. Patrons OF the
es who were compelled to pay
Tor war stamps feel like making them
Nj the trouble they can. and, as there
ire about 2, 800 justices Of the peace in
The state, it can be seen whatan oppor.
unity there is to keep the companies
n hot water continually.
