THE SAMOAN QUESTION:
BERLIN, September 1.
The Cologne Gazette publishes a long letter, dated Augustis, from its correspondent at Apia The object of the letter, in pursuance of the German Chauvinist mot d'ordre regarding the Sanida question, is to make out that Germany, not England, is in line with America-in a word, that "Codlin is the friend, not Short The letter deals with the deliberations of the Samoa Commission, which led to the provisional investiture of the American Corsul, Mr. Osbom, with the office of Chief Justice during the absence of Mr. Chambers," Dr. Solf, the new German President of the municipality of Apia, claimed the appointment for himself on the strength of an article in the Berlin Treaty, and threatened to resign if he were not selected for the post. According to the Cologne Garel, e's correspondent, the British Commissioner Mr. Eliot, was the hindrance to Dr. Solf's appoint ment. With an indiscretion which any German official in like circumstances would be quick to resent, the correspondent professes to give an account of an interview he had with Mr.Elio, in the course of which the British Commissioner ja
represented as saying that he could not consent that the two most important offices in the Samoan Government should be combined in the hands of a German." The upshot of the whole controversy was that Mr. Bartlett Tripp, the American Commissioner, pacified Dr. Solf, and persuaded him not to complicate the situation by resigning the Municipal Presidency: In order further
Solf, the appease Dr. Commission," according to the Cologne Garette, wrote him a letter in which they gently sug gested to him that the combined duties of Municipal President and Chief Justice would be too much for one man. He was assured that in the opinion of the Commission he was "in every way qualified for the difficult post of Chief Justice.". In fact, the appointment of Mr. Osborn was represented as having been made on Dr. Solf's recommendation, and by his consent." This letter purports to come from "the Commission," but as a matter of fact the British Commissioner, Mr. Eliot, did not sign it. For this the Cologne Gazette fiercely discord in the Cominission. It seems only natural that the British Commissioner should have declined to append his signature to a document which bore the appearace of an acknowledgment that the suggestion, or con- sent" of Dr. Solf was required for an appoint- ment which was within the competency of the Commission alone.

The whole drift of the Cologne Gazette's agitation with regard to the Samoan question is manifest. It published only the other day a fresh declaration quite in the spirit of the German residents' petition to the Chancellor in favour of the annexation of Samos by Germany, This it describes as a Deutsch-Nationale solu- tion-a German Nationalist solution of the Samoa question. It is impossible for me to con ceive that the Cologne Gazette in all its attacks upan Great Britain, and is "Nationalist" agita tion, can be expressing the views of the German Government, since I have been assured on unimpeachable authority that if Lord Salisbury had inade inquiries regarding the Samoan policy of Germany "he would have learned that it was entirely loyal, and did not aim at any infringement of the principle of the Samoa Act," which excludes the predominance of any one Power. Another proof that the Cologne Gazette is pursuing a policy of its own is its denunciation of the principle of unanimity in the proceedings of the Commission. The Rhenish organ, apparently, forgets that it was Germany that insisted upon the principle
of unanimity, and carried it. As for its attempts to thrust itself between Great Britain and and America, thay. will-only provoke a amile on both sides of the AtlanticTimes Cor
MR. CHAPLIN AND OLD-AGE PENSIONS.
The secretary of the South Somerset Con servative Association has received a letter from Mr. Chaplin' with reference to a recent speech by Mr. Strachey, M., who said that Mr. Chaplin's proposal to reimpose the old is. duty on grain in order to meet the cost of old-age pensions was the thin edge of the wedge and was an endeavour to re-establish protection in its worst form by taxing the bread of the people. Mr. Chaplin observes that Mr. Strachey put into his mouth almost exactly the opposite of what he said at Wynyard park, where he dis tinctly. warned agriculturists against believing that anything in the nature of a return to the Com Laws or to the old protective duties on corn was either possible or desirable in these days. He denies that he made any "proposal" for new taxation, but incidentally he said that if new taxation were required a suggestion for the revival of the old 15. duty was well worth considering, for the following reasons ---Be- cause the repeal of the duty by Mr. Lowe was probably the greatest act of financial folly ever committed, and no Chancellor of the Exchequer would ever dream otit nowadays: because the price of bread does not alter unless and until the price of wheat rises or fails something like 48. or 55. a quarter; because the repeal of the duty benefited no person in the country at the time, and its reimposition would injure no one now, unless it be the foreign exporter; and be cause it would provide a revenue of two or two. and-a-half millions sterling without raising the the price of bread by the fraction of a farthing.
THE INEBRIATES ACTS.
The 19th report of the Inspector of Retreats for the year 1898 has just been issued. In this Mr. Hofman says the satisfactory condition of all these establishments has been maintained, and that, on the whole the health of the inmates has been very good. The licences for retreats existing in 1897 were renewed by the justices, and two new establishments were opened at Wandsworth, and Stretford for the réception of female patients. Compared with 1897, the number of admissions alightly decreased last year. The Acts, through defective on some points, have, the inspector says, worked smooth- ly on the whole during the year. Sections 13 to 20 of the Inebriates Act of 1898, which amend the previons Acts in relation to, retreats in several important particulars, have given un- iversal satisfaction to the licensees of existing retreats. With respect to the working of the Acts and the result of treatment, the observa-

according to the Tribune des Colonies, which Things are not going too well in Madagascar may fairly be supposed to speak without any anti-French bias on the subject. It appears that the topographical department of the Staf at Antananarivo has just published a new map showing the political situation in the colony. The same department published a map of the istand at the end of 1897, which was headed with the grandiose title of "The Pacification of Madagascar, 1897," and it would seem on a comparison between the two maps that the "pacification "has been progressing backwards. The areas in which the Malagasy are holding their own against the invaders have increased, reference is here made to the south-west of and have spread over whole provinces. No. the island, which it is understood remains independent, nor to the west, where the Sakalava country has hardly been touched. But in the north, in all the territory which was marked in the former nap as pacified since The new map clearly marks all the northern July, 1897, the Franch are losing their hold,
against the French invaders, and the latest provinces as being in a state of insurrection intelligence from the island shows that the spirit of resistance has spread to the south-east. The fact is tha Madagascar is drain upon the resources of the Republic. Seven thousand soldiers were lost from fever of the French General Staff; no colonists will during the invasion, thanks to the incorapetence go out to take the pinces of the British mer chants driven away, and how the French can only be said to hold a few of the principal THE towns and ports, A more signal exhibition of incompetence has seldom been made, even by the French Colonial authorities, than in Madagascar.—Gloče,
