The Kolnische Zeitung says: *“The chief share of the respon- sibility ought to be laid at Eng- land’s door, since she allowed her naval officers to act at their discretion, thus showing that she values the friendship of Cousin Jonathan very highly and al- ways ‘joins with him when it is a question of having a fling at Germany.” The Kreuz Zeitung .reminds Great Britain and the United States that Germany {s not Spain, and that German patience has its limits. It adds: “There are conceivable national com- binations besides the Anglo- German entente.” TS SO WSS U e GG B e G oG ey R e e R R B o e O e e o o S S O R e = R SROR SRS S SO S R R R R TS T TP OUGRE ASHINGTON, March 31.—A Jjoint high commission to set- tle the entire Samoan trouble has been practically agreed | upon by the United States, British and | German Governments. Lord Salisbury’s absence from London alone delays the | formal acceptance by Great DBritain, though in his absence sir Thomas San- | derson and Mr. Villiers, who are under- | Sstood to be specially familiar with the | Samoan question, have approved the plan for a commission. The United States has informally expressed its ap- | proval, and the formal acceptance, it is | learned from the best quarter, will fol- | low speedily. i As the proposition originates with Germany her approval, of course, is as- sured. This high commission, it is felt, | affords a pacific solution to the whole trouble at the mément when Samoan affairs began to Jook the most threaten- ing. The new plan has been fully gone over by Secretary Hay and the British | and German Embassadors here and its | essential details worked out. Each na- tion is to be represented by one mem- ber of the commission. It is to have practically unlimited authority without | the necessity of referring its decisions back to the several governments for ap- proval. It is felt that by conferring such ! complete and final authority on the High Commission the danger: will be obviated of any further deadlocks and delays. Still another important pro- vision under consideration is that King | Oscar of Norway and Sweden shall be the umpire in case the three High Com- missioners should fail to reach a deter- mination. The plan of inviting King Oscar to referee a disagreement meets the approval of the British and German authorities and doubtless will be ap- proved also by the United States as a | means of ensuring finality of decision, though It is not known just how far this has been considered by the Wash- ington authorities. King Oscar was agreed upon between the United States and Great Britain as a final arbitrator in connection with the | | proposed Anglo-American arbitration treaty, as well as in the Venezuelan matter. He {s also mentioned in the treaty of Berlin as the one to name a Chief Justice of Samoa in case the three signatory powers fail to agree on a Chief Justice. It was this that led to the suggestion of his name at pres- ent time to act as final arbitrator. The expectation is that the sittings of the commission will be in Samoa, where for the time being they will have complete authority over the whole range of Sa- | moan affairs, so far as the High Com- mission think fit to act in order to fully restore and establish affairs on a stable basis. It will require no treaty | to bring the commission into exist- | ence, as the acceptances of the United | States and Great Britain will complete | the agreement. | Tt is understood that the men selected for the mission will be of high standing so as to give added weight and dignity to their findings, such, for instance, as the Consul General of Germany, whose | judisdiction covers the whole range of | Pacific affairs. He is a man of complete KING OSCAR B+ 4600008000000 +0sbedeiesiedededede® information on Samoan and other Pa- cific island subjects as well as a man of political influence. The United States and British Commissioners, it is under- stood, would be drawn from the same high ranks, with a view, however, to their information on international mat- ters of this character rather than their P! nt standing. As showing that the acute phase of the Samoan question is past Baron Speck von Sternberg, First Secretary of Ge: many, left here to-night for. New York, whence he sails on' the 6th for Lon- don and Berlin. He has been a most active factor throughout the Samcan controversy, having made that question a special study, and thus being able to render the Embassador material a: sistance. His influence at all times has been toward maintaining the friendly relations between the two countries and overcoming the causes of irritation. His trip to London and Berlin has no significance whatever in connection with Samoan affairs, but is entirely personal after the gravity of the affair has passed. % No new advices reached the depart- ments to-day regarding the Samoan situation and the impression is gain ing ground among the officials that there is a missing cable from Admiral Kautz, yia Sydney, which upon its ar- rival will clear up the mystery regard- ing the brief dispatch dated Auckland which was received yesterday. In read-: ing the brief cable of yesterday, in which Rear Admiral Kautz referrad to the improvement of the situation since his telegram ‘“of the 18th, via Sydney, N. 8. W.,” it was at first supposed that the date given-—the 18th—was a mis- take, as the only Sydney telegram re- ceived here was dated the 16th. That telegram probably left Samoa several days before the meeting of the Consuls aboard the Philadelphia, and certainly a week before the actual fighting be- gan, which, according to the press dis- patches, commenced on the 15th. It is considered almost inconceivable ~\\\ @S\"\\\%\\ &S “ 1899.

It is now considered to be almost certain that the Admiral’s reference to the telegram of the 18th via Sydney referred to a telegram for- warded from Apia on the 18th. If this proves to be the case, the tele- gram of the 18thy which has not been received, doubtless contained the de- tails of the decision of the Consuls aboard the Philadelphia, the subse- quent ultimatum to Mataafa and his followers and the account of the three days’ bombardment before the dispatch was sent. In the light of the existence of such.a dispatch, the brief cable of yesterday can be intelligently read. It would then simply mean that the sit- uation had improved during the interim between the 18th and the 23d, all the preliminary faets presumably being al- ready in the hands of the department here. The distance from-Apia to Syd- ney is greater than that from Apia to ‘Auckland. According’ to the information in the “hands of the Bureau of Navigation the “time -taken by steamers in plying be- tween the two former points is thirtéen days, while steamers make the distance from ‘Apla to Auckland im ten days. According to the regular sailing time of steamers between Apia and Sydney (thirteen days), if Rear Admiral Kautz had forwarded a telegram on the 18th via Sydney the dispatch would not have arrived at Sydney until to- day at the earliest, so that with this explanation the non-arrival of the missing dispatch of the 18th, via Syd- ney, .is' satisfactorily accounted for. If the steamer is on time and the new explanation of the department proves to be correct, this dispatch should ar- rive to-day, or certainly within a few days, if, as possible, the steamer bear- ing it may have encountered rough that Rear Admiral Kautz made no at-. weather on: her voyage.

By this it is not meant that he is missed. "As a matter of fact, it has been the subject of comment for some days.that affairs in the War Depart- ment under the management of Assist- ant Secretary Meiklejohn have been running remarkably smooth. The sue- cess with which the War. Department is being run during the temporary. elimination of Algerism from its, af- fairs has been the subject of°as much .comment as has the fact that Secretary Alger would remain away at such a | critical time., . : : Jt can be truthfully said that the President has not missed Secretary Al- ger. On the contrary, there is reason to believe he feels relieved, and the -positive assurance given me some ‘time .ago can be repeated, that Mr. McKin- ley -would be very glad to get the Sec- retary out of the Cabinet entirely with- ‘out going to the extreme of dismissing ‘him. He may yet have to resort to thjs extreme, however, as Secretary Alg! has repeatedly said he would not retire under fire. That he must go is the unanimous ‘verdict of all the party leaders, who continue to impress upon the President the importance of adopting drastic measures at an early date to rid him- self of Algerism, and thus spare the party from carrying the weight of the ‘War Department scandals through the next campaign. . ° For' the President to hold on to him. much longer now that his maladmin- istration has been brought out in such strong-light, would be equivalent to ac- cepting the responsibility for his ac- tions, and would justify the denomina- tion of his methods -as McKinleyisni rather than as Algerism. " There are many here who beliéve that Mr. Alger's Cuban junket will end his career a« Secretary of War. It is im- possible, however, to get any authori- tative announcement to this effect.

His Speclal Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, March 31.—The Demo- cratic National Committee to-day offi- clally recognized the Altgeld faction in the mayoralty campaign as the regu- lar Democratic organization. The press bureau of the committee, which issues a weekly bulletin to Democratic news- papers of the country, in the issue for this week has an article on the “Chi- cago situation,” which asserts that the late Democratic city convention was Democratic in name only. The article | declares the convention failed to an- nounce allegiance to the Chicago plat- form, and that all real Democrats of Chicago are supporting John P. Alt- geld. It then proceeds to flay Mayor Harrison’s administration in ‘detail. Eight hundred Democratic papers take the press bureau service. Each week it sends out such literature as has received the approval of the National Committee. Governor Altgeld's managers to-day received proofs of the matter sént out for the issue of April 1. Later in the day they issued the following: ‘What Democrats throughout the coun- try think of the merits of the controversy between Altgeld and Harrison is correctly stated in the Democratic press bulletin, is- sued from the press bureau of the Demo- cratic National Committee. The bulletin is printed every Saturday in the interest of Democratic papers all over the coun- try. What it says of the Chicago situa- tion may be taken as official. Under the caption of “The Chicago Situation,” in its issue of April 1, it says ‘‘Harrison Demo- crats of Chicago, in convention assembled, | failed to announce allegiance to the na- tional platform of 18%. This, for the rea- | son that they owe no allegiance to it. To tell the truth, there were no real Demo- crats in the convention. It was Demo- cratic in name only.” 5 | T All the real Democrats of Chicago are | supporting John P. Altgeld, who is run- ning on the national platform, and, though elected as a Democrat. Harrison has never done anything while in office to entitle him to the honor of being called | a Democrat. He no sooner got into the mayoralty than he placed himself under the protection of Mark Hanna's Chicago agents, Editors Kohlsaat and Lawson, and, as a result, the doors of the City Hall have for two years been closed to real Democrats. The city of Chicago has been badly gov- erned in other ways. A man without any strength himself, and with no vestige ot principle, Harrison, in_ the adminis- tration of affairs, with but one or two notable exceptions, surrounded himself with a lot of low-down ward politicians, jneluding ex-convicts, who have been plundering the city right and left. It is stated that at least a milllon of the peo- ple's money has found its way into the pockets of Harrison’s henchmen. Governor Altgeld declined to talk about the statement, saying it spoke for itself. W. H. (“Coin”) Harvey said it was a remarkable statement. “This seems to come very close to Chairman Jones,” he said. “I have no doubt it expresses Mr. Jones’ senti- | ments.” Among politicians the manifesto was regarded as fixing the stamp of irreg- ularity on the Altgeld organization. It places Governor Altgeld’s party in po- sition to be recognized as the regular Democratic organization by the next Democratic National Convention, and Democrats who want to get into the convention from Illinois will have to be with the ex-Governor.

Okanogans, STARVATION FOR SECTION MEN Southern Pacific Makes a Big Reduction. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, March 3L—The Southern Pacific Company has trouble on its hands on the mountain division of the Shasta routé. An order goes into effect to-mor- row materially reducing the wages of all the section gangs. It is not a direct cut at the wage scale, but a reduction in hours, with a corresponding effect in wages. Section men have heretofore re- ceived 16 cents an hour for ten hours’ work. Under the new scale the men will be given but eight hours a day and five days a week. The men all declare they will not submit to the reduction. It is not expected their action will constitute what may be called a strike, but they will re- fuse to work and seek other employment, The company will have no little difficulty in filling the vacant places with reliable hite laborers, and it is p ble that Chi- nese may again make their appearance in the section gangs on the Shasta route. The policy pursued by the company for over a year past has been one of the strictest economy possible. Track walk- ers were supplanted b eeder: who could cover the *“beats™ of several foot- men, and section gangs were cut out or consolidated. It is a singular coincidence that soon after this era of parsimony was ushered in wreck after wreck occurred on the Shasta route and each from_the same cause—spreading of the rails. Rot- ten crossties were taken out, turned over and made to do another era of duty. Railroad crews andling the heavy freight trains attributed the wrecks by which their comrades were killed or maimed to the cutting down of track re- pairing crews and track walkers and the use of worn out crossties, which should have been replaced with new material. It is not expected that the men who have announced their intention to quit | will create any disturbance or interfera with any laborers, white or Chinese, who may take their places. They say they will relinquish their jobs simply because they cannot work and live for $128 a day for five days a week. The mpathy of the public all along the line is with-the men, some of whom have families to support. VOLUNTEERS RETAINED i IN THE PHILIPPINES WASHINGTON, March 31.—It was | stated at the War Department to-day that the provision of the army law al- lowing the retention in service for six months of the volunteers in the Philip- | pines has been construed to mean the | officers as well as the men, and that the volunteer organizations would be re-- tained just as they now exist. General | Otis was given ‘large plenary pow- |ers in the matter, but was in- | structed by cable to send all sick and | wounded home, as well as volunteers who had exceptional reasons why they should return home, such as the sup- port -of families and the loss of prop- erty by reason of their absence. Gen- eral Otis' will decide such questions on | their merits. The volunteers in the Philippines will not be mustered out until they can be spared, and the pres- ence there of these organizations, the War Department believes, makes it un- necessary to organize the provisional army of 35,000 allowed under the army law.
