TILE SAMOAN DEAL WITH GERMANY.

The Daily Chronicle's correspondents in Melbourne and Washington have cabled to London summaries of the apparent views taken by Australia and the United States of the Sainoan agreement arranged between Germany and Great Britain. The Melbourne message stated that :-"The attitude of Australia towards the Samoan a recment is one of generally regretful acquiescence. Lord Salisbury's difficulties are appreciated. In view of the relatively small. British imterest, trade will not be seriously affected by the withdrawal from the islands. The chief interest of Australians lies in the fact that Samoa is an important point on the direct route to America, and while

guaranteed. Missionaries hope that Lord Salisbury has preserved their right freely to continue their work. The Australian Govem- ments were privately apprised beforehand, and none are opposing, but Mr. Eyne, the Premier of New South Wales, complains that premature disclosure of the scheme in England prevented the Premiers from conferring on the subject. He intends to consult the Sydney Parlia- ment before replying to Mi Chamberlain Sir George Turner (Premier of Victoria) and Mr. Kingston (Pretaler of South Australia) regard the settlement as satisfactory. Mr. Seddon, the Premier of New Zealand, declines to speak until the matter has been discussed by the Cabinet of that colony. It is, however, to be noted that commercial opinion in New Zealand disapproves of the arrangement, fearing a loss of trade. The concession of the Tengan Islands is regarded as unimportant, seeing that Germany has practically no footing there. The Solomon Islands are considered valueless, owing to the witness of the people, thoughi they are a fruitful recruiting-ground for the Queensland sugar-planters." The Washington cable announces that :-" An important feature of the Samoan agreement which has not yer been made public is that Great Britain and the United States have been granted equal trade rights with Germans in the islands controlled by Germany, the United States gives Germany reciprocal privileges at Tutulia. By this agree ment the three nations are put on a footing of perfect equality throughout the Samoan group, and no nation will profit over another by Tariff discrimination. This is of special im portance to the Australian Colonies as safe. guarding their interests and protecting Australian commerce with the islands, which are large enough to be important to the colonies. It was this article in the agree ment which caused delay, Germany claimed the right to impose a discriminating tariff, but Great Britain insisted on the 'open' door in Samoa. The British demand was ably seconded by Mr. Hay, who announced that the United States would not agree to partition unless equal trade rights were assured' From Wellington comes a cable stating that: "The New Zealand Times condemns the action of the Imperial Goverment, and the Auckland Herald regrets the abandonment of Samoa." A Central News cable from New York runs as follows: Commenting on the motives which have influenced the British Government to conclude the Samoan Treaty, the Evening Post says that though the United States has, and can have, no alliance, secret or open, with England or Germany, it can have a good under standing with them. The United States can

pa silent partner in the Anglo Getman firm." From Britain has come a "Reuter's "message stating that "Count von Bulow has re- ceived many congratulatory messages on the occasion of the Anglo Gengan agree ment relating to Samoa, the Grand Duke of Baden and the Duke-Regent of Mecklenburg. Schwerin complimenting the Secretary of State in particularly cordial terms. Count Goluchowski, Austro-Hungarian Minister for Foreign Affairs, also sent a telegrain of congratulation." The Pall Mall Gastite, com menting on one of the messages just quoted, remarks The Washington correspondent of the Chronicle has been informed that the Samoan agreement secures for the United States & ourselves aqual trading rights through. out the islands. The Germans, it appears, were anxious to impose a discriminating tariff, but our Clovernicht would have none of it, and Mr. Hay backed them for all he was worth. We most sincerely hope that the news is true, and that Lord Salisbury refrained from com menting on the point in his Guildhall speech, because he did.not wish to ruffle the suscepti. bilities of the colonial party at Derlin. The opening of the Samoan door would remove the only substantial ground of objection on the part of the Australasian colonies, more es pecially of New Zealand, the Government most intimately concerned. Even without the knowledge of that advantage, they have received the convention with what a correspondent des- cribes as regretful acquiescence-a rare, but most creditable attitude of mind."

This succesful and highly, popular reinedy, as employer in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jebert, Volpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the king, and surpasses everything hitherto valploved, "

The Standard's Vienna, correspondent an nounces that the London Correspondent of Politische is informed, from an authoritative quarter, that a much discussed passage in Lord Salisbury's Guitball speech is to be interpreted as meaning that, for the present, no annexation in South Africa is contemplated, and that there is a disposition to leave to the two South African Republics their autonomy, provided that equal rights are secured to all white men, that the Boers are disarmed, their fortifications demolished, and the military organisation of these countries in future rendered impossible. These conciliatory and moderate views are, however, the Correspondent says, liable to war, and the sacrifices it entails." Commenting apon this the Standard's correspondent adds: The original source of the above statement is unknown, and it would be a new departure for the Eritish Government to make use of a continental newspaper in the way adopted by other Goverments for the propagation of their views. Still, it might be as well to warn

Germany has profits are badly; but France, which was negotiations with England, Russia has not. most violent in attacking England, does not receive the slightest compensation. The Novidades goes on to say:Small countries may expect in receive a-similar lesson if they put their test in a friendly International Sentiment. The Buers, mistet by foreign advice, and abandoned by their funds, will have to pay dearly for their rebellious and audacious war; and England, with the seas crowded with ships carrying troops and ammunition, not weakening but strengthening all her naval stations, will yet have ready in her Reserve sufficient ships to entertain the German Emperor. In conclusion, the paper says that at the present moment Mr. Kruger is stirring up the horrors of war, for the benefit of a people and race which has not the strength to conform itself to the requirements of civilisa- tion."

The Duke of Cambridge is not among those who believe that conscription is desirable, or is even necessitated by the vasily incre using strain which is steadily being put upon our army by the growth of pur Empire and the creation of fresh responsibilities. In distributing the prizes to the Middlesex Yeomanry Cavalry (Duke of Cambridge's Hussars), at their annual meet Ing concert in St. James' Hall, his Royal Highness delivered an address to the officers and men, in which, having expressed his con. Adence in the ultinsale and triumphant success of British arms at the Cape, he proceeded to say-There is a fine spirit abroad in the nation. Both men sad officers are zealous and eager to do their duty by the nation, and the nation is pre pared to support them to the utmost extent of Iti power. Ya the end I am confident neither this country nor the Empire will have lost by the great exertions they have been compelled to make during the past month or so, I am sure all you yeomanry "here tonight, both officers and men, wish most sincerely to be Rent to South Africa (Loud cheers.) But the yeomanry were not established for that purpose. I have no doubt, however, if necessity arose, any Government would be only too happy to look to the eyeomanry, militia, and volunteers for support. So long as the necessity does not anise the Regular Services of the country should do that portion of the duty which is assigned to them at their own, request. There is not a man in the Services who has not joined of his own free will. There is no conscription. There is no need for conscription. Certain great States have benefited by 11, but if you can do without conscription do so, I do not see how it could be introduced into this country this is a free nation, the people can do what, they like, and there la the spirit in them to do what is right Millet, Miss. and Just which always comes out on occasions.
