America In Slmca.
The history of American relations
with Samoa is to be divided into three
periods:
]. That preceding our first treaty.
2. That from this treaty to the joint
Act of Berlin.
3. The period since.
The departure from traditions was
not as has been commonly represented
for the purpose of discrediting the
Berlin Act, to be dated from the Act
itself, which was the natural result of
our intervention in Samoa for over
twenty years.
Our naval flag was first borne thi,her
by Wilkes in 1889. He framed a set of
commercial regulations signed by the
first Malietoa and his chiefs, the first
laws promulgated to his people.
In 1872 Commander r. w. Meade re-
ceived from the chief of Page Page, a
grant to the United States of the ex-
elusive privilege OF establishing a naval
station in that harbor Whether or not
this operated as a grant "In praesenti'
is arguable. AS an agreement with
the Chief, it was never ratified by the
Senate.

and investigator, Steinberger was in

Steinberger is the most interesting
character among all the foreign Off

parent devotion to their interests, he
may be called the Gibson OF Samoa.
And they both were alike in that their
lives closed amid clouds and in the ut
ter collapse Of the plans upon which
their hopes were centred.
Steinberger established a Govern
ment and created distinct impress
sion in the native mind that the Unit
ed States had established a protector

structions.
On his return TO Washington. Stein

petitions praying for annexation.

President certainly did not grant. But

Hon. Harold NJ. Sewall spoke last
night before the Historical Society and
some invited guests at his Waikiki resi-
dence on The Partition of Samoa and
the Past Relations Between That Group
and the United States" His address
was as follows:
When In May, 1886, not for the first
time In the history of those troubled
and, to the powers concerned. those
troublesome Islands the flag of the u
,. was raised over Samoa, there fol-
lowed what usually follows the unau-
thorized. but timely and COURAGEOUS
action or an American representative
at a distant post; the recall Of that rem a.
resentative, the disavowal of his ac-
ton, the sending OF a Commission TO
report, the appointment of new officials
all around, and then a repetition of his
tory.
The history OF the foreign relations
Of Samoa Is full of such repetitions.

PRODUCTION. For these events led to the
Washington Conference on Samoan
Affairs which met June %. 1887. to
which the Berlin Conference on the
same subject two years later the franz
err of the Tripartite Agreement known
as the Berlin Act which has now been
dissolved, followed as part and nat
ural sequence. And II Is due to these
events, that as the successor of the
Jealous II erratic Consul whose action
had cost him his official head, learn
ed for the first time, outside OF the
State Department, through Mr.. Carter
the Hawaiian Minister at Washington,
OF political conditions In the com
paratively unknown Islands, to the
Chiefs and Rulers OF which 1 was ac-
credited. and OF the relations to these
Islands which Hawaii in it's new born
Polynesian policy, proposed to bear.

Hawaiian's Burden.

AT a time already trying. the burden
or this loyal and efficient Hawaiian rep
resentative had been increased dis
tressingy by the Inauguration of this
policy. the despatch of an embassy and
mimic man-of-war to Apia, followed
by a Treaty of Confederation and his
own appointment by the farcicai and
lily recognized Government and King
OF Samoa as their Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary AZ the
American capital. To add TO these
tangled diplomatic relations the dis
missed American Consul on his unau-
lhorized return to his former post. had
viii e. at Honolulu imposed on the
Gredulity of Mr.. Creighton. then Minis
Ter Of Foreign Affairs, and secured the
appointment as Hawaiian Vice-COnsul.
Assuredy the complex local situation
nc Apia was destined to become more
20 in its every ramificatiOn.
To a man less determined than Mr.
Carter whose whole mind was fixed
upon the ratification Of the Reciprocity
Treaty (which Publications were not
exchanged until November 1850 and
TO secure which the course must be
kept free from all embarrassment, these
events would have been disheartening.
n must not be forgotten either that
he King and Gibson, who had succeed
"a Creighton as Foreign Minister, were
strenuously opposed to the clause OF
hat Treaty ceding Pearl HarbOr to the
United States, while II had long been
evident to Carter that without this
clause. the ratification OF the Conven-
ton extending the Treaty could not be
had.
