ty. The United States ship Badger was
promptly sent to the scene, carrying
an international commission COM
posed of Bartlett Trip, representing
the United States; Baron Won Stern
berg, the German commissioner, and
c. n. Elliott, the British commissioner.
Claims amounting to nearly $4,000
were filed by German, French, British
and American residents on account of
damages caused by the landing party.
AS the chief result of the investiga-
tions of the commission, the tripar-
tite agreement of 1889 was abrogated,
the islands being divided between the
United States and Germany, while
Great Britain withdrew. a conven-
ton was signed at Washington on
November z, 1899, submitting the
claims of Samoan residents to the king
OF Sweden and Norway for arbitra-
tion, the main questions being wheth-
er the military action of the United
States and Great Britain had been

DECISION TO STAND.
Uncle Sam VIII Abide by the Ruiz
ing Of King Oscar.
History Of Controversy which Had
Its Origin in Far-0R Samoa and
Now Has Been settled at
Stockholm.

The ruling Of King Oscar Of Sweden
and Norway, in the Samoan contro-
versy, against the United States and
Great Britain and in favor Of Ger
many, Is hailed with some surprise
by many papers. The decision lis
staggering, to put it mildly" declares
the Brooklyn Eagle; and the New
York Tribune says it is surprising
and inexplicabe." The decision holds
that the landing Of marines on April
!, 1899, at Apia was not justified, and
that, in consequence, the governments
of Great Britain and the United States
must pay the complainants for their
loss. How the division Of payment be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain will be made does not seem
to be known in the state department,
but it is believed that it may have
to be arranged by special agreement
between the two countries. The ORR
gin Of the controversy is told briefly
in the following paragraph taken from
the New York Tribune:
THE dispute now decided grew out
of the concerted action of Rear Adj
miral Kautz, OF the United States navy,
and Capt. Sturdy, of the British navy,
in leading a combined American and
British force at Apia on April !, 1899,
for the purpose of making a recon-
noissance and breaking up Mataafa's
supporters, who were in rebellion
against the recognized government.
1t was on this occasion that Philip
Landslide, the executive officer of the
Philadelphia, Ensign j. r. Monaghan
and two enlisted Americans, and
Lieut. Freeman and two British sail
ors were killed. Surgeon Lung, now
President Roosevelt's physician, was

Some years ago, when the present queen
of England was princess of Wales and her
children were very small, they were stay
ing at a quiet watering place The Mon
treal Star repeats this little story OF the
royal family, which shows that Queen AL
exandra is much like other good mothers.
and that her children are like children the
world over:
Once on returning from a short sail one
of the little prineesses was walking up the
plank An old sailor instinctively said:
Take care, little LADY,"
The child drew herself up haughtily and
said:
I'm not lady, I'm princessl"
The princess Of Wales, who overheard the
kindly injunction and the rather ill-bred
reply, said quickly:
"Tell the good sailor you are not a little
lady yet, hut you hope to be some day"

For the Is battlcships built or nm

listed force be increased from 25,5o0

suggest win be gradual, and win ex-
tend over number of years.
At the same time the rear ad-
miral believes the navy should have
an ample number of men who can
be trained in the serious business of
war and be ready for action when
the moment arrives.
Rear Admiral Taylors views with
respect to the increase of the enlist
ed personnel are understood to be
in harmony with those entertained
by the president and Secretary
Moody. In his annual message the
president is expected by the navy to
repeat his recommendation for an in
crease not only Of men but of Off

American women possess the secret of
making themselves attractive, and at no
season of the year does she make herself
more attractive than in the summer.
Young women of the purest minds and
the most lofty aspirations are-women;
and being women they are attractive for
a purpose.
There are those who will flounce, and
toss their pretty heads, and Indignantly
protest. when it is stated that they pur-
pose which actuates all young women 10
be attractive is to attract men to them.
Bless them they cannot help 1t. 1t Is a
part of the great law that controls them.
1t is right that it should be so. Every
young girl should feel that she wants to
be attractive, and feeling so, should be SO.
That is enough. She need not go into the
why's" and 'wherefores"
Now there are many ways by which a
Young girl seeks to be attractive. If she
be well formed and pretty, she seeks
fetching hats, gay colors neat gowns
If she be plain looking. she endeavors to
be bright, chatty, amusing and "brimful
of good spirits" If she beneither pretty
nor of an elastic temperament she pre-
tends to be bookish or gentle-spirited,
meek, SO meek, that she would out do

the aim is the same, to attract some
man.
And as to men-why, there is always
some man to be attracted by every at
tractive girl or girl aiming to be attrac-
tive 1t amounts to the same thing.
There is no season like the summer Tor
this sort of thing.
Young men and young women at the
mountain or seaside resort are removed
from the influences of their surroundings
as they are not at any other time OF
the year In holiday attire, in holiday
environment, they become largely un-
real, unnatural. imaginary. They think

is the period for two fools to mix up the
threads OF their lives forever.
Danger turks for young girls in the re-
moval of restraint. And restraint is
largely removed in summer.
EVIL to him who evil thinks reads
the motto. and one who reads the fash
ions of these days as conducive to bad
morals, may have 1t read to him. True,
But-and there is but-changes have
taken place, which are noticeable and
call for criticism. Take the shirt waist
girl of six years ago and compare her
with the shirt waist girl of today. If the
former was modest the latter is i'm
modest. Why is the low corset ana the
diaphanous shirt waist worn today? Be
cause 1t is presumably attractive
One cannot visit a summer resort and
notice the summer girl without being
struck by the low corset and the thin
shirt waist. 1t is intended to exhibit
the lines of the neck and bust. 1t is all
that it is intended TO be. Some are not
merely immodest, but they are positively
indecent. But the shirt waist need not
carry all the blame. 1t is supported in
its claims of "attractivencss' by the
skirt that Is made to fit close over the
thighs and flare at the bottom, SO that
when 1t is drawn aside in lifting 1t re-
veaIs the line of the limbs.
If modest girl wears the fashionable
waist and the fashionable skirt without
blushing she will have no difficulty in
living up to her ideaEand q woman's
ideal is largely indicated by her clothes.
Summer manners are as loose as sum-
mer clothes.
Young girls should bear in mind that
when she attracts this man or that the
possibility of husband lies In the man
so attracted. A man who is attracted
by lightness Of attire or lightness Of
manners is not one who possesses in
himself the qualifications of a good hus-
band. Moths fly to the lamp.
But girls, this season. are doing many
stupid things. One of these is due to
tho desire to be thought good fellow.
