SAMOAN CLAIMS.
Progress Made in Negotiations for
the Settlements.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Some progress
is being made in the negotiations between
the three Governments, signatory to the
Berlin treaty looking to the settlement of
Samoan claims. Just what the character
of the settlement will be. cannot be stated
at this time, but it can be said with au-
thority that the President has no inten-
tion of agreeing to any proposition where
by the United States will contribute an
equal share with Germany and Great Bri-
tain to satisfy the claims. As matter
of fact. the authorities are of the opinion
that this Government should not pay one
cent toward the settlement of the claims
This opinion is based upon the principle
that while an American ship committed
the damage which created the claims, yet
the cause of her act was the conduct of
German officials in melting the natives
to armed resistance.

Troubled by a Parrot.

SAN RAFAEL, Oct 29.-William Scott,
the brother-in-law of President A. w.
Foster of the California Northwestern
Railway Company, has declared to the
Board of Town Trustees that a parrot
nothing but tale of woe for months
past, Even in sleep his slumbers were
troubled with dreams of the parrot,
whose rancous notes and perennial repeti-
ton of the phrase, Scott, come here -
rang in his ears until green birds flew by
night around his couch and made the cold
waves of agony and despair alternate
along his spinal column.
Last evening Marshal Healy descended
upon the Misses Sweany, who own the
parrot, and informed them that the To-
quacious bird must either be muzzled, re-
moved TO the basement or sandba gged.
1t was temporarily placed in cellar and
peace now reigns at West End.

mex, Friday and Saturday. The lines arc
said TO be unusually bright and witty and
the humOr flows in a steady stream dur
ing the entire progress Of the play. Jones
is a drummer selling hymn books in
slow towns and selling playing cards in
fast ones While attending a prize
fight the place is raided by the police.
and jones makes his escape with a
musty professor of anatomy, Ebenezer
Goodly. who has been induced to attend
the fight by his prospective son-in-iaw,
who has decidedly sporty proclivities.
Jones bObs up serenely in the home of
Goodly. and refuses TO leave, for fear OF
the police. He passes himself off as the
Bishop Of Ballarat. a brother of the Pro-
fessor's. who is expected TO arrive from
Australia almost at any moment, much
TO the discomforture of the professor.
who. however. is afraid to expose Jones
FOR fear Of the prize tight episode.
Jones receives much attention at the
hands OF the professors wife and pretty
daughters and all is lovely until the real
bishop arrives and then matters become
more complicated. but the drummer is
equal 10 the emergency and the play ends
with the knight OF the grip in possession
of one Of the girls and the undlsputed
master OF the situation.
