The statement so often made of the great preponderance of British interests is almost laughable. There is not in Samoa a British business house paying better than a third-class li- cense. Britishers import less than 5 per cent of the goods entering the port, and export nothing at all. They gu)’ less than 6 per cent of the licenses and other taxes collectible. If Chinese hailing from Hongkong, East and West Indians of mixed breeds, and half-caste children, were to be excluded the numbers of so-called Britishers would | be serfously reduced. Ninety per cent of the trade of Samoa is carried on by Germans and Americans, the balance by Scandinavians, Frenchmen and Britons, in the order named. A point is made of the fact that a large proportion of the imports comes from British colo- nles. But it is a well-known fact that goods from Germany and other European points_coming over the Sydney routes are figured up in their returns as British or Colonial manufactures, and not properly accredited to the countries producing them. Further than that, but for the quienticomut nication with the United States a very large proportion of this trade would come from San Francisco. As the Spreckelses are now designing a fortnightly service in the near future, and the use of more com- modious steamers, no reasons should ex- ist why the present high freight rates should longer continue to the general det- riment of American trade. It is thought that the commission will be ready to leave here by the 20th Inst. Before leaving it is hoped they will settle matters on some better basis than the provisional arrangement so ineffective at present. As a good number of whites (every one of them disappointed British colonials) are talking of the native _troubles which will quickly follow the departure of the commission, it looks to the writer as if some understanding has been ar- rived at to encourage the dissatisfled Tanu people to revolt at an early date in the hope of Invoking British interference in some form or other. Last evening John George Leigh of the London Tim¢ who has made this Samoan trouble a close study, felt it his duty to oint out to the British Commissioner that t would be most inexpedient for him to leave Samoa until he had very solemnly warned his disgruntled nationals that in case they, or any one of them, fomented trouble after the departure of the com- mission_heavy punishments would follow. The German and American Comml sloners have worked together in great harmony since their arrival, but the Bri ish Commissioner, who had the idea tl his country should take over the group, seems to be a very disappointed man. The understanding that Chambers’ decision in | the late kingship case *“should be consid- | ered as valid and binding” was rendered because the Berlin general act left no other resource but this. This by no means meant that that decision, which was au- mittedly wrong, should ever be enforced. Tanu was at once retired without recom- pense or notice and very nearly exiled. An abortive attempt was made by a few Britishers to get up.some sort of a good- by demonstration in honor of Mr. Cham- bers, but for lack of suovort it feil through. I have not heard of a single Ame‘rican ‘who took any part in this move- ment. smsrncmr_}' progress has been made by the Healy-Tibbitts Company at Pago Pago, and it is llkely that the Cardigan Castle has already left that harbor, as when last heard of some few days ago her cargo was practically discharged. A very heavy copra crop has been pro- duced this year and business is corre- spondingly much improved. - Under the new government it is hoped that the acquirement of lands by for- eigners from native owners will not be as entirely barred as under the Berlin gen- eraleact. Still much good property is sull for sale at reasonably low rates and on fair terms. The general health is, as usual, excellent. DRAFT OF THE AMENDED TREATY ARTICLE L A DECLARATION RESPECTING THE NEUTRALITY OF THE ISLANDS OF SAMOA AND_ ASSURING TO THE RESPECTIVE CITIZENS AND SUBJECTS OF THE SIGNATORY POWERS EQUALITY OF RIGHTS IN SAID ISLANDS AND PROVID- ING FOR THE IMMEDIATE RES- TORATION OF PEACE AND GOOD ORDER THEREIN. It is declared that the Islands of Samoa are neutral territory in which the citi- zens and subjects of the three signatory | control over the islands or the government thereof. It is further declared with the view to the permar zood order in the said islands, and in view of the difficultiex which have always attended the selection of a king and the | maintenance of his authority against the uent rebelllons incited by the rival chiefs, that the office and title of king is and forever shall be abolished in Samoa, and that the authority of chiefs therein shall hereafter be limited to the district in which it may be recognized as herein- after provided. ARTICLE IIL "LARATION RES{‘E(‘T} OF NG THE A DE MODIFICATION TREATIES. Considering that the following provi- sions of this general act cannot be fully effective without a modification of certain rovisions of the treaties heretofore ex- Jiting hetween the three DOWETS, respec- tively, and the government of Samoa, it is mutually declared that fin every case Where the provisions of this act shall be | inconsistent with any provisions of such | e provisions of this | treaty or treaties t act shall prevail. ARTICLE IIL A DECLARATION AS TO THE EXEC- UTIVE POWERS. The executive powers shall be vested in an Administrator of Samoa, who shall be appointed by the three signatory powers in common accord, or failing their agree- ment by the King of Sweden and Norway. He shall recelve an annual salary of $5000 (six thousand dollars) in gold or its equiv- Alent, to be paid out of the revenues of the Samoan government. Any deflciency therein shall be made good by the three powers in equal shares. The Administrator shall execute all laws in force in the Islands of Samoa. “5 an | have power to grant repriev pardons for offenses against the govern- Thent of Samoa. He shall have power by And with the consent and advice of the Fxecutive Council to appoint all officers Whose appointment is not herein other- Wise provided for. He shall have power Yo fill all vacancies in office temporarily ind until appointments to such offices Shall have been regularly made, and to designate persons to act in place of offi- cers temporarily absent from Samoa. It shall be the duty of the Administra- for. by and with the consent of the Exec- utive Council, to divide the islands of Samoa outside of the municipal district of Apia into a suitable number of dis- | tricts, which may from time to time be | eased in size and number, as deemed inc advisable, and upon the nomination of the natives in each district to appoint a’ Governor, who shall be charged with the collection’ of all taxes and with the main- tenance of peace and good order within his district. The locai government of such districts chall be left, so far as may be, to be Administered 'by the natives themselves, in accordance with the laws and customs of Samoa. ARTICLE IV. DECLARATION AS TO LEGISLA- & TIVE POWERS. 1. The legislative power shall be vested in the Administrator and Legislative Councll. The Council shall consist of three members, one of whom shall be ap- pointed by the United States, one by the Pmpire of Germany and one by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The Administrator and Council shall constitute a legislative body, of which the ‘Administrator shall be the President. He hall have a voice in considering and a vote in determining all questions that may come before it. Three of the four members composing the legislative body shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Provided, however, that no law shall be enacted and that no rule or regulation having the force of law shall be made without the concurrence of at least three members in open session. The legislative power of the Adminis- trator and Council shall extend to all rightful subjects of legislation, and in particular they shall have power to levy and collect such taxes, duties, imposts and excises'as may be necessary for the public revenues, and for this purpose they shall have power to change and modify the taxes, duties, imposts and excises pro- vided for in this act. They shall have power to establish post- offices, post roads and a uniform postal system. They shall have power to es- tablish municipal and district govern- ments and to limit and define their powers. But the three great powers reserve to themselves at all times the right and power to modify or annul any legislative act of the Samoanfovemmem. 2. The members of the Legislative Coun- cil shall also constitute an Executive Council, which shall from time to tima counsel and advise the Administrator in his executive capacity as may be required. The members of the Legislative and Ex- ecutive councils shall also, when desig- nated by the Administrator, act in the capacity of Assessor and Collector of Cus- toms and Revenues; Treasurer, Attorney General and such other executive officers g( the Government as may be provided or. They may also, if required, act in the capacity of consuls or consular agents of their respective governments. » 3. There shall be a Native Assembly composed of the Governors of the differ- ent districts of the islands. The mem- bers of the Native Assembly shall hold their office for three years, but the Ad- ministrator shall have power to dismiss any of them for misbehavior. The Na- tive Assembly shall meet annually at Mu- linuu at such time as may be designated by the Administrator, but such session sent restoration of peace and | ISTING | shall not continue for a longer time than thirty days in any one year, except for reasons approved by the Administrator.
