London, January e-The abuse OF the
war office and Lord Lansdowne. the sec
rotary of state for war, ana Lord wolse-
ley. continue undated in the press and
among the public. BY the time parliament
reassembles 1t promises TO have gathered
such force that II is more than likely that
most stormy scenes will mark the de-
bates. while many people declare that I'M
less Lord Lansdowne resigns or exrulpatea
himself. the conservative party VIII bd
seriously menaced. So far the criticism
emanates chiefly from the patriotic Brit
Usher whose pride is hurt at the reyerses
and from those whose heartstrings have
been touched by death. But when tho
solid British taxpayer begins to be drained
to support the war. then truly the criti-
cism of the military officials Will begin
TO reach its true volume.

GERMAN INFLUENCE AT APIA.
New Government is Hostile to Amer

A dipatch from Apia Wia San Francisco,
June 20, says:
There are many evidences Of the Ger
manizing efforts being made by the new
government of Samoa, though Governor
Solf is proving himself a tactful man, and,
personally, is very popular.
The offices at Apia are gradually being
filed by Germans, British and Americans
being ousted to make room for them, ana
the matter of substituting German curren-
cy and coinage for all other is now consid-
cred. Gov. Solf has issued a circular let
ter to merchants and others asking their
views on this subject.
Though good order prevails and the Ger
man government is well administered there
is evidence that business is declining owing
to a Withdrawal of British and American
activity and enterprise, and it is now be-
lieved that Page Page will eventually be-
come the metropolis Of the group. The
United States ship Aberenda comes up from
Page Page to meet every mail steamer
stopping here, but a regular mail to the
new American town will soon be estab-
