Circulation Statement.
The Chinese see-snvv.

Our latest reports from China yes
terday were more pacific, although
there was a hint of an outbreak Of
trouble in the statement that Japan
had treated new and specific proposals
from Russia with Indifference. But II
was also said that the Emperor had
ordered General Liu, on the Shansl-
Chi Ii border. to withdraw westward,
so as 10 prevent a collision with the
Franco-German expedition, now en-
route to take the mountain passes held
by the Chinese, and that he had ordered
other native forces TO keep outside OF
the Great Wall to avoid contact with
the foreign contingents. on the strength
of these alleged movements our PekIn
correspondent considered it probable
that the Paoting-fu column would be
ordered back by Count Won WaldeTsee,
and. therefore. that a resumption Of
hostiliues would be obviated.
This sounds encouraging, as do other
reports tending TO show that Germany
and her following in the Concert are
more inclined than hitherto to abate
their demands for indemnity. But II
is necessary to remember that while
there is no question among the other
Powers which could not probably be
amicably disposed of through dlplo-
macy. the same condition does not seem
TO apply to the relations between Japan
and Russia. Those two States, in the
serious differences which exist between
them. still constitute a serious source
of danger to the peace of the world.
Since the others are not at present too
far apart from one another to hope for
a peaceable solution Of whatever ques-
tions may separate them, they are
hand-free TO a certain extent TO use
their good offices in trying to avert a
Russo-Japanese collision, which would
be generally deplorable. And we have
no doubt that their diplomatists are
endeavoring to bring about an accom-
mediation. Whether such a movement
has any chance of success or not we
do not pretend to know; but one thing
;essrtain, i which is, that the Chinese
,,onlsyn will be a puzzle TO all OBJ

The President selects 81 Sleeping Car
for His Western Trip.

The President yesterday approved the

tains private dining and observation
rooms, each sixteen feet long, and htted

cabinets and we'll stocked library. A
handsome buffet is also provided. Else
where in the car is a barber shop and

ter inches wide.

America and Germany in Samoa.
from the Independent }


That peace reigns in American Samoa
is manifest from the fact that the very
capable administrator OF the island de-
tendency Commander Tilley, finds this
fit opportunity to return to Washington
TO give account Of his stewardship. 1t is
the first time in thirty-odd years that
any portion of Samoa has been left, in
fact could be safely left, without re-
sponsibie superior white official. In es-
tabliShing fixed government IN the Ameri-
can islands Commander Tllley has wisely
refrained from meddling with ancient Gus
toms which have been IN force among the
Samoans from their earliest history.
Manua has it's own native administrator
who carries out the orders from the naval
officer. Tutuila is divided, as II has ever
been into the eastern and western 'fale-
limas'-a term which may be loosely de-
fined as provinces or districts, although
TO the Samoan 1t conveys an idea of au-
thority Instead of irregular war parties
and bushwhackers sneaking through the
Jungle there is now seen small cOntin-
gent of native troops properly uniformed
and regularly drilled, for the Samoan
readily assumes the outward show of the
soldier. A boarding school for girls has
just been built by the Samoans themselves
at Pago-Pdgo, and opened by the London
Mission; it has a capacity OF one hundred
girls and the limit was exhausted before
the school was opened. 1t is intended to
teach English and the high school studies
in English and from the start the insti-
tuition promises to be self-suppOrting.

part of the American Islands by a formal
re-enactment of the Ten Commandments.
and additions to this simple code are
made as need arises. Indeed, the princi-
pie of self-government has been the key
note Of this interesting experiment in the
assimilation of a lower race, and Com
mander Tfiley exercises a mild SuperyiS-
ion to point out mistakes when made and
to suggest the means for their correction.
German Samoa, on the contrary, is in Il
ferment The Samoans are made to work
by official taskmasters, chiefs of the nigh
est rank are set at degrading tasks Ma
taafa has retired to his own Cave of
Adullam, and every broken man lies out
IN the bush awaiting the hour to rebel.
Letters received In this country from
prominent natives speak of the great dis
content and the fear of hopeless revolt.
German rule is Of the masterful sort and
under il there is growing discomfort. In
Tutuila and the islands of Manua there
is American rule and with il such peace
happiness and prosperity as the veXed
islands have never known. German Co
loniaI officials behold the boatlOads of Sa-
means crossing the strait eastward by
night to visit their kin and their friends
in the American island. and TO view with
their own eyes the novelty OF Samoa in
concord; they have essayed to prevent
this migra ton by a tax of a shilling a
head which each must pay to cross the
strait. and a shilling is much money to
the Samoan but still the exodus con-
tinues.
