A Convention were signed at Washington on November 7th, 1890, amitting the claims of Samoan residents to the King of Sweden, und Norway for arbitration, the sin questions haing whether the military action of the United Staton sus Great Britain hed ben warranted. Immediately the aggregate of daims, most of them German and American, rose to about $300000. In July 1900, King Oscar consented to act as arbitrator, and must spring the briefs containing Dre arguments on the wain point at issue and the schedule of claims were submitted to him. Correspondeses between the repre- entatives of the thres Powers in Apis at the tinie, as sprend on the records, was extremely bitter and full of rotlections on the integrity and honour of the untions concerned.

In his annual poport of the Departments of the Colorado, Brigadier General Frederick S.

The marked ingrouse in the

In my opinion," he says, "there are two principal causes for this state of affairs: First, resentment of unaccustomed limitations and restrictions felt by man returning from hold service to the monotony and routine work of garrison life; second, the abolition of the en-

There is no doubl much truth in this contention. The most superficial absorver who pauses into Russia from Germnay or Austria can hardly help feeling that. whatever the geographical text-book may say, whon he has once crossed the Russian frontier, he is no longer quite in Europe, though he is not yet netually in Asia.
