John T. Morgan of Alabama, n lead
ing mumbcr of tho foreign relations
committee, when asked for an expres
sion on the Samoan problem, said:
"There Is only one permanent solu
tion of tho Samoan question. That is
a partition of tho Island by tho threo
great powers, which havo by common
desire just formed a commission to
reconcllo tho differences between
themselves and the natlvo Samoans.
The United States, Great Hrltaln
and Germany, will, in my Judgment,
act most wisely, If they immediately
proceod to n settlement on the natur
al theory that llttlo good will result
from a temporizing policy toward
these warlike and bloodthirsty sav
ages. "Whatover sentiment wo may enter
tain for tho rights of tuo Samoans, tho
nrbltrary law of nature which pre
vents nn Incongrotis nsslmllatlon of
people, will ever bo an Insurmountable
barrier to poace, progress and clvlllza
tlou us long as govern mental coutrol
is by tho weaker class.
"I am thoroughly lmprcsssd with
the Importance of partition, as I be
lieve that the Immediate division of
tho Island will bring about tho bpeedy
solution of a trouble that may terrain
nto gradually with the prnctlc.il ex
termination of tho Samoan rac.
"The United States should havo n
coaling station nt Pago Pago. And
then with tho long desired cable In
tho Pacific, reaching to Honolulu and
Sydney, giving communication with
tho home governments, there will bo
llttlo to interfere with tho spread of
civilization on tho Samoan Islands."

Saturday owing to tho warship's lata
arrival, occurred yesterday. The Ka
lclgh, accompanied by two small war
vcssols captured from tho Spaniards
Int summer, and n licet of about
twenty-Qvo excursion steamers and
tugboats, paraded from Tomkinsvlllo
to .Grunt's tomb nnd from there back
to anehorago In tho North river off
Thirty-fourth street.
It would havo been difficult to havo
Bclocted moro inclement or disagree
ablo weather than that which pre
vailed all tho tlmo that tho lUloIgh
was passing In review before the
thousands of enthusiastic people who
lined tho river bmks nnd gave her
their hearty cheers of welcome home.
The cruiser did not leavo her anchor
age off Tompklnsvlllo for tho parado
up tho bay and tho Hudson river until
shortly beforo noon. An hour before
that time a drizzling rain commenced
to fall, aud this soon turned Into n
steady downpour which continued tht
remainder of tho day.
Thoro wero very few people along
tho river front In tho lower part of
tho city, owing partly to tho weather
and partly to tho fact that tho en
trances to tho piers nre closed on Sun
days, but great crowds nsscmblcd in
Ulvcrsido park, overlooking tho Hud
son, and men, women and children
stood there for Iioum under umbrollas,
watching tho vessels on their way up
tho river and their return, lly far tho
grcatost gathering of peoplo was in
tho vicinity of Grant's tomb, which
was the turning point of the parade
A national saluto was fired there by
tho Kalclgh aud also by tho captured
Spanish prizes, and tho sceno was ren
dered a memorable ono by tho shriek
ing of a hundred steam whistles from
excursion boats and locomotives nnd
chcors from thousands of pooplo on
shore and on the vessels In tho river.
Captain Coghlan was on tho brldgo
nearly all tha way up the river with
the executive and navigating officers.
All wero bundled up in rain coots and
received the full fores of tho storm In
their faces. Tho otllccrs paid llttlo
attention to tho storm, and waved
their caps constantly, not appearing
to mind tho soaking. As for tho sail
ors, they never thought of shelter at
all. A few wore clad lu oil skins, bub
most of them stood on the exposed
forecastle witli nothing but their blue
jackets covering their shoulders and
most of tho tlmo with their hats fly
ing in tho air.
Officers and men alike expressed the
greatest surprise at tho demonstration
and wondered what they had done to
warrant all tho enthusiasm which was
being dlsplayod. Many of them woro
heard to mako remarks to tho effect
that tho battlo of Manila bay was
fought so long ago that they had al
most forgotten it, but that it seemed
tho American people rcmomberod lb
still.
When tho Itallcgh was finally an
chored she was surrounded imme
diately by n fleet of excursion
boats and as fast as they could
reach her gangway the peoplo
aboard them climbed on .the cruiser
and extended personal welcomo
to the officers and men. The
crow apparently took great pride in
showing visitors over the ship and
particularly In pointing out Ihe 5-lnch
gun on the starboard sldo of tho poop
deck that fired tho first shot In the
battle of Manila bay.
Many relatives and personal friends
ot tho officers and men went aboard
as soon as they could reach the side ot
tho vessel, and tho day's celebration
concluded with theso general and In
dividual receptions.
