OSCAR GIVES HIS REASONS
Full Text of the Samoan Award
Shows why Germany Was
Right.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE full text
OF King Oscars decision in the Samoan diff
hculty was published simultaneously in
Washington, London and Berlin today
In answer TO the British and American
claims that any one of the signatory pow
ers was authorized to enforce the decision
of the chief justice, declaring Malietoa
king, the arbitrator says:
I'VE have found nothing which author
ICES one of the signatory powers or
majority, to take action to enforce the
conditions Of the act or to make the de-
cisions of the chief justice binding on the
powers"
The arbitrator insists that as the consular
representatives of the three powers, had
recognized Mataafa the powers we're bound
on principles of international good faith
to maintain the situation until by common
accord they decided to change 1t. He meets
the contention that military action was
warranted because necessary for the pro-
lection of lives and property by the fiat
statement that there is nothing in the
evidence to show the condition of affairs
such as to render military action neces-
sary' and then says Mataafa never in
tended to cross the bay on account of the
state of the tide. could not possibly have
done so.
Continuing the decision reeites that
Mataafa had been completely defeated be-
fore the arrival of Philadelphia, but
that the United States admiral and the
British authorities brought back his war
riors and armed and provisioned them,
which under the treaty, should have been
issued only at the unanimous requests OF
the three eonsuls.
The decision concludes:
Therefore, his Britannia Majesty's gov
ernment and the United States government
are responsible under the convention OF
November l. 1899. for losses caused by said
military action.
while reserving for a future decision
the question as to the extent to which
the two governments or each Of them may
be considered responsible for such losses

Finland Falls Behind, but Does Not

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY ALSO DO WELL
Germany and England Fairly Satisfactory,
bat Nothing Extraordinary.
ITALY AND FRANCE BEHIND LAST YEAR
E1nfavOrabIe weather Has, However,
Delayed Seeding Everywhere and
in Some Cases Has Impaired
QuaIiay of Cut Grains.

WARRINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE Agricul-
tural department has received the follow
ing from it's statistical agent in London,
under date OF November 4.
Owing to the unusual lateness OF the
harvest throughout large part Of Europe
the autumn sowings have been much de-
layed in a number of countries. While IL
is possible that sowings yet to be made
It must be recognized that the chances OF
good weather for sowing and to give the
young crop a fair start before winter sets
IN diminish with the advance Of the season.
Russia Breaks Record.
That Russia has record cereal crop
this year is indicated by both the semi
official estimate published a month ago and
the more recent estimate OF the Russian
total wheat crop of 4Oi, ,6Si SSs bushels of
sixty pounds in European Russia.
In Finland the. Yield has been deficient,
but this counts for nothing in view of the
general abundance in the empire.
Ofhcial estimates give the total area under
TnSer rye w at Is While The aSces eondtion aon
of the grain is above the average, that of
winter rye Is but just above It. while all
show conditions inferior to those of three
preceding years Fall sowing is much de-
iayed by the lateness Of the harvest.
The cereal harvest in Austria is satisfac-
tory, despite unfavorable results in many
instances. In elevated places oats are
mostly still uncut and their ripenlng is
doubtful. Wet weather has largely af-
fected the cut grain still lying In the fields.
Maise Is far below the average.
The total production in Hungary, includ-
ing Croatia, SlaVonia, as officially reported
is; Wheat, 1&, ,2S9 749 bushels; rye 59. 1888 1863
buJhels; barley 63 ,104 bushels; oats, 49,
9S9, $40 bushels. All these figures are largely
in excess of last years production.
In France rye Is the only grain that falls
below the crop Of 1901. There is general
complaint regarding the yield of wine and
cider.
The official estimate of the Italian wheat
crop is 131, ,101, 740 bushels, a reduction of
is per cent from 1901.
Unofficial figures for Great Britain indi-
cate on the whole fairly satisfactory crops,
though the quality has undoubtedly suf-
fered considerably from wet weather.

PAPERS SHOULD PAY MORE

PUBLISHERS ABUSE PRIVILEGES GIVEN
Subscription Price Asked often n
Myth, Money Thus Derived Going
Back in Form of Pre-
miums to Readers.

WASHINGTON, Nov 17.-Edwin c. Mad
den, third assistant postmaster general, in
his annual report recommends the estab-
lishment Of the following new postage
rates:
1. A new rate at cents a pound for all
publications now admitted to the second
class mail except daily, tri-weekly, semi
weekly and weekly newspapers. This rate
is to be paid on the bulk weight without
regard to the number of pieces.
2. The consolidation of the third and
fourth-classes and the postage thereon be
found at the rate Of 1 cent for each two
ounces or fraction thereof, to be prepaid
by stamps affixed
Congress also is asked to authorize the
postmaster general to accept large guam
titles of identical pieces Of printed matter
and small articles OF merchandise without
stamps being previously affixed to the in
divldual pieces.
Publishers Abuse Privilege.
The recommendation for the 4 cents a
pound rate is the result of alleged abuses
Of the second-clRss mail privileges.
Mr.. Madden says many of the cheaper
periodicals would be given away II the
law would permit. The practice is to main
tain the fiction Of a subscription price and
to give back its equivalent in a premium.
No one would question the public benefit
4
absolutely free rate might be granted II
the privilege could be properly confined,
| But It would be unjustifiable to continue
to tax the people for any part of the cost
OF the distribution of any other class OF
periodical publications.
Concerning the public impression that 1
cent postage is probable in the near fu-
\ ture, Mr.. Madden says it is altogether too
| soon to consider a reduction of the letter
rate on the mere basis that the reforms in
second-class mail matter would save
| enough to compensate for the loss Of rev.
enue.
| He adds:
! and this anticipated rate of 1 cent for let
| ters existed during the last year, the re-
suit would have been an aggregate esti-
| mated deficiency of $l9.0OO0O0. Thus, even
| under an increase in the rate of postage on
| periodicals 1t will not be practicable to es-
| tablish cent letter rate before the pos
| tai service is thoroughly adjusted not only
| to the reforms in second-class mail mat
| ter, but also to the enormous expenditures
necessary to complete and satisfactorily es-
tabllsh the rural free delivery system The
| postal system is largely monopolized by
| publishers who send more than two-thirds
Of the total weight OF all mail matter, but
| fourth of the total postage revenue.
Mr.. Madden recommends a law allowing
a reply envelope and reply postal card
service under a plan for the collection ot
postage at the place of delivery rather
than at the place OF mailing.
| Nearly S4000,0 600 were expended durine
the year on account of experimental rura
free delivery and had 1t not been for this
the postal service would have been self
sustaining and would have had more thar
81, 900, 900 to its credit.
