BERLIN, Feb. 4—The German Gov- ernment claims to have received .ad- vices from Samoa which dispose the Ministers to in no wise acquiesce in the view that the German representatives are entirely to blame for the recent troubles. A high foreign officer said: “Our representations from Samoa this week narrate in detail the events preceding the bursting of the storm in consequence of the royal election. We begin to see more clearly into matters. There has been for some time past seri- ous friction between Chief Justice Chambers and Dr. Joannes Raffel (the German President of the Municipality of Apla) and Herr Rose (the German) Consul at Apia), arising from mutual recriminations as to the conduct of of- ficial business and personal differences. Mr. Chambers appears to have been engaged in promoting agitation in fa- vor of the Malietoa party. If this is confirmed we shall ask for an explana- tion, as such conduct is a direct con- travention of the Berlin trealy, which expressly provides that the Supreme Judges shall not meddle with national elections, but shall remain strictly neu- tral on such occasions. It seems, how- ever, that Mr. Chambers joined in the intrigues of the English missionaries, who feared that Protestant . interests would suffer by the ascension of the Roman Catholic, Mataafa. The Ger- man Government does not go to the length of claiming that Mr. Chambers did so act, but if the reports are con- firmed, we shall ask for an explana- tion. Possibly, on the American side, facts may be adduced tending to show that our representatives also exceeded their proper powers. If complaints are made thev will be impartially and amicably settled. No formal requests or complaints have yet been made by either government, and there is evi- dently a desire on both sides to settle the whole difficulty in a friendly way. Respecting the latest incident, it seems undeniable that a German created a disturbance, smashing windows, etc., but we fall to see how Mr. Chambers deemed it his duty to place the offender under his jurisdiction instead of leav- ing him to the consular jurisdiction, as the Samoa acts prescribed. This action on the part of Mr. Chambers will also need an explanation. The incident, however, is trifiing. Our reports indi- cate that, generally speaking, order now reigns at Samoa.” The correspondent of the Associated Press spoke to the United States Em- bassador, Andrew D. White, on the subject and he said .the above state- ment tallied with his own information. Mr. White added that he had not re- ceived fresh instructions from Wash- ington, and he had no doubt that the troubles would be amicably adjusted by the three powers interested. HENRI ROCHEFORT’S DEPARTURE FOR ALGERIA It Causes All Kinds of Demonstra- tions by Howling Mobs at Marseilles. MARSEILLES, Feb. 4.—The departure to-day of M. Henrl Rochefort, the editor of the Intransigeant, the radical organ, for Algeria, was the occasion for a re- markable demonstration. The Rue de la Cannabiere was black with people and guarded by a large cordon of police, ‘When M. Rochefort's carriage appeared, it was quickly hemmed in by a howling mob of friends and enemies, intermingling cries of “Vive Rochefort,” and “Vive I'Armee,” and hoots and invectives, while the air was filled with flowers, stones and oranges, hurled indiscriminately at the carriage. Fighting ensued and many per- sons were injured, including two Town Councllors. ‘When M. Rochefort boarded the steam- er, which was to take him across the Mediterranean, the mob redoubled its up- roar and many people jumped into the boats and surrounded the vessel. M.’ Regls, the former Mayor of Al who was suspended on account of his bitter anti-Semite utterances, was also a passenger on the steamer. He anathema- tized the President and jeeringly asked them to come to Algiers, where he sald he would be in a position to give them a warm_reception. number of arrests were made. ks R HOUSE PASSES THE MILITARY ACADEMY BILL Griggs of Georgia Also Speaks About Caring for Graves of Con- federate Dead. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The House to- day passed the Milltary Academy appro- priation bill, carrying about $600,000. It served as a text for a speech by Griggs of Georgia on the President's suggestion that the Government care for the graves of Confederate dead.

Charged With Having Negotiated Several Worthless Checks. WOODLAND, Feb. 4—0. W. Forsythe of Fresno is in jail here on a charge of having passed two bogus checks. They were drawn on local banks r small sums and signed “C. J. Ellis.” Forsythe, who is registered here under the name of N. L. Dorland, is wanted at Sulsun. upon a similar charge. A week ago he appeared in that town, represent- ing that he was traveling for the Tontine Savings Association of Minneapolis. In settlement of his bill at the New Union Hotel he presented a check for $10, drawn on: the:Bank of Suisun by C. J. Ellis in favor of O. W. Forsythe. He received $4¢ in change. The check was bogus. Forsythe was not heard from again until he was detected trying to work the same game in this city.
