LONDON , April 8. The unraveling of the
amoan entanglement la followed with keen
interest here , especially In colonial circles.
Germany's "obstinacy , " as Us attitude Is
termed here , from the beginning of the
troubles Is regarded as "Incomprehensible"
and Is said to bo only explained by a desire
to get the upper bund In the Islands. This
viewIs expressed by a. colonial expert , who ,
writing to the Morning Post , says-
'Tor some reason never yet explained
Germany regards Samoa as an Important
link In Its foreign policy. Rather than give
up Samoa the Germans would go to war.
No doubt Germany has not forgotten what
a prlzo Heligoland has proved and the Ger-
mnn chancellor possibly anticipates a more
Important deal If he can only get possession
of Samoa. "
The newspapers point out the growing
Importance of Samoa to Now Zealand and
the significance ot the latter's offer to send
volunteers to Samoa.
White' * Vttprnnccd Discredited.
The alleged Interview with the United
States ambassador to Germany , Andrew D.
'
White , published In the Munich Allegc-
mclne Zeitung , has attracted attention , but
the utterances attributed to Mr. White are
not generally credited.
The Morning Post editorially says :
The sentiments ascribed to Mr. White are
plainly colored by the prevailing tone ot
dissatisfaction with Great Britain existing
In Germany on the subject. Wo cannot be
mlnlfd by the complexion of the Interview
Into bol'cvlag that Mr. White has discovered
* " '
- -
his' Ideal' of " * tno fraternization' Great
Britain , America and Germany , which we
frankly adopt. No United States
diplomatist could have discussed the cir
cumstanccs in the tone alleged by the Mu
nich Allegcmclne Zeitung ot Mr , White. "
The Spectator , which thinks that "pre
posterous Importance has been given to the
whole affair , " says :
"Great Britain only needs a coaling sta-
tloc , If It needs that , but wo must vigor
ously support American claims and the bus
Iness will be tedious and expensive. "

BERLIN , April 8. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Ambassador
White , In an Interview respecting Samoa ,
says"I am totally unable to understand
the reasons which Induce England to take
an unfavorable view of the action of Ger
many or German officials at Samoa. The
American people will not allow their views
to bo Influenced by the exertions of British
tV Jingoes , as America desires to live In peace
nnd concord with Germany and papers which
nrguo otherwise do not represent Ampr-
Ican opinion. My Ideal Is the fraternization
f
of England , America and Germany , but )
cannot conceal from myself that htere are
Influences in England hostile to the fulfill
ment of that hope. I believe , however ,
that Germany , whose solidarity In its own
sphere Is established as firmly as possible ,
can overcome the difficulties of the present
situation by a conciliatory attitude. "
U Is significant that slnco giving these
views for publication Ambassador White has
had a lengthy nnd mo cordial Interview
with tlio kaiser.
All Berlin Is talking Just now of the
kalierin's beneficent action toward the wife
of a railway laborer who recently gave
birth to triplets. The kalscrln sent her
anonymously supplies of linen and delicacies
suitable to such an occasion and within a
few days the knlserln , accompanied by one
of her ladles , vIMted the mother , greatly
udmlred the triplets , which are bouncing
boys , and complimented the parents on the
neatness ot tlielr little home.

llrltiiln'H Attitude.
( Copyright. 18J9 , by Associated Press. )
BERLIN , April 8. The Samoan question
cnntlnura to hold the attention ot the pub
lic , the newspapers being full of dispatches
nnd comment on the subject. The emperor
has devoted much time to the matter and
has conferred several times on the subject
with the minister of foreign affairs , Baron
von Buelow ,
It Is Interesting to note that general dis
trust and dUsatlefactlon at the latest events
are almost entirely aimed at Great Britain ,
whose attitude Is described , even In official
circles , as 'being dictated by duplicity and
unfriendliness. The press faithfully portrays
trays this feeling.
The delay of Great Britain In accepting
the proposals for a settlement of the diffi
culty , which the United States ambassador ,
, Andrew I ) White , attributed mainly to the
i. absence of the marquis ot Salisbury from
/ * London , U generally Interpreted In Germany
nb showing distinctly unfriendly rootlvet
upon the part of Great Britain ,
The corretpondent of the Associated Press
has had an Interview on the subject with
a high foreign office official who said :
"It has been a source of regret and as
tonishment that Great Britain , unlike the
Unltod States , has not expressed regret at
the latest turn of affairs In Samoa , while
the acceptance cf our peaceful settlement
has ED far been coupled with unacceptable
conditions containing the seed of new
troubles and manifestly uufalr , Wo could
not accept conditions enabling tbo Ameri
can and British rommUslonrre at any time
to override German rights , thus perpetual-
ing the unpleasant state of affairs In the
Islands "
The press comment Is In the same key ,
but mutually It Is more outspoken. In a
lenqthy article the Krcuze 7.cltung charges
Great Britain with "mnla fide" In the whole
matter , alleging that It Is trying for Its
own Rplflsh purpose * to entangle the United
States In hostilities with all the continen
tal powers and at the same time drag It
Into a policy of expansion. The article
concludes
"We say nil this regretfully. An honest
cfntentc wild Grcnt Britain would bo an
undeniable advantage. But perhaps It la
well thus early to be effectually unde
ceived , ns It may spare us later more paln
ful surprises. "
The Bocrsen Courier says the reason ot
Great Britain's delay In assenting to Ger
many's proposal was founded on Its desire
to continue , with the aid of the United
States , Its policy of "spiting Germany" anil
claims to find proof of this attitude In the
London press , which it accuses of resum
ing Us old tactics of slandering Germany
nnd breeding trouble between Germany and
the United States.
The Tageblatt takes Great Britain to task
for "not exprcwlng regret at the unex
pected policy of repression in Samoa" ana
regards Its attitude toward Germany as In
sincere.
The Cologne Yolks Zeitung says :
"Great Britain's behavior in this mat
ter Is symptomatic nnd opens an unfavor
able vista for other pending negotiations. "
KAV'IY/9 ACTION IS < ll'nvrtOM2U.
I'rolmbly JiiHtined In AVImt He Hid
Without ltne'N AiMirotul.
WASHINGTON , April S. Official German
circles here arc not Inclined to attach too
much Importance to the Samoan reports Just
received. Favorable reference Is made to
the view taken by one of the leading En
glish-American papers to the effect that as
the provisional government was constituted
by the unanimous vote of the three consuls ,
there Is at least room for the argument that
It could be dismissed by nothing less than
the unnalmous action of the consuls.
In this view of the case Germany may
claim that Admiral Kautz acted hastily or
without due authority. It Is further pointed
out that the so-called "agreement" arrived
at between the consuls , of which Admiral
Kautz speaks In his proclamation , cannot
have been a unanimous one , as the con
trary is proved by the proclamation ot Hcrr
Rose.
From the German standpoint , therefore , It
appears questionable If Admiral Kautz was
entitled to use language from which It
might be Inferred that he had the assent
of the German consul for his proclamation.
If offense. Is taken at the wording of the
proclamation Issued by the German consul
the German view Is that this proclamation
was Issued In the Samoan language , trans
lations from which may not be very easy ,
and liable to misinterpretations.
In the meanwhile Admiral Kautz and the
representatives of all the signatory powers
who had been notified of the Intention of
the powers to settle the Samoan question by
a Joint high commission , so that the best
posted German authorities here gay , It Is
reasonable to assume that we have heard
the last of the fighting among the natives
ot Samoa.
EDITOR ShOT ON BUSY STREET
Citizen KIllN Kriiuk Rrlinii for Attiick-
InK Him In "OrlfTn Ilnlly
MAHYVILLE , Mo. , April 8. ( Special Tele
gram ) Frank Griffin , editor and publisher
of Griff's Maryvllle Daily Review , was shot
hree times on the main street of Maryvllle
at about 11 o'clock this morning by C. G.
esse , formerly a druggist here. He died
at 6 p m. Griffin and Jesse met on the
mslest corner In town and as they were
aclng each other not more than a few
ards apart , Jesse drew a pistol from his
right overcoat pocket and fired twice. Grlf-
In staggered like a man who had been
struck. Jesse follow e < l him up and they
grappled on the crossing that Griffin had
ust left and both got Into the muddy street.
The editor struggled desperately to save
ilmself , but Jesse shot twice more and
three of the four bullets took effect , one
passing downward through the cheek and
edging In the neck , one entering the neck
lust above the breast bone and one entering
.he groin
Griffin finally fell to his knees in the
mud end Jesse seized him by his long , black
nalr , which hung to his shoulders , and beat
film over the head with the handle of his
tin. Jesse was soon pulled off and ar
rested
Griffin's paper Is a purely personal organ ,
similar to Brann's Iconoclast , and few
Maryvllle people have escaped attack
through Its columns. A few days ago It
contained the statement tliat Colonel C. G.
Jesse wan arranging to start a gambling
tioll , In a room which had just been va
cate . Jesse then swore to kill the editor.
Griffin wus tbo most noted character in
northwest Missouri and everybody knew
htm Hl3 life had been threatened by a
hundred different men , whom he had driven
to desperation by his attacks , but It was
known that ho was game and only two men
besides Jesse ever had the courage to try
to kill him. He was educated for the
Catholic priesthood , but aposta&lted and became -
came a violent assailant of the church. He
had been In the United States circuit court
several times for sending obscene literature
through the mall , His plant bad been
wrecked several times and he had been shot
at in the dark on a number of oocailons.
Because of his manner ot llf he won the
hatred of all classes of people and public
sentiment is very strongly favorable to
Jesse. Several years ago Griffin professed
to be converted and has since been a mem
ber of the Presbyterian church Blnco hla
membership In the church his attacks have
been even more violent than before. He
was aware that he must dlo and divided
all bis property anionp the members of hla
family.

Americans who are ambitious to gain lootIng -
Ing In English society will be grateful for
the following description nf the easiest way
to attain that great object , explained with
unblushing snobbishness by an acknowl
edged social expert.
"Tho quickest way to become Included , at
least In the fringes of London society , Is
to make a start ut Hamburg , Monte Carlo ,
Cannes , Dlnard , AI\-les-Halnes , vvhoro the
circle Is comparatively small , and those
composing it always keen to welcome a
new entertainer. The foreign acquaintance
ships are not always kept up , but still with
tact and push \aluable Introduction la
never thrown away and It Is quite pos
sible that the people you have entertained
year after year In royal fashion may con
descend to recognize you or even ask > ou to
their smart crushes when you meet again
on moru equal grounds It is understood
that you can talk to any one , even walk with
them and dine with them out there and
Ignore them here. Those who have a right
to feel offended are the first to recognize
this rule , and the cleverest are quick to
make It serve their ends. "
Ambassador Choato has picked up won
derfully since his visit to Bournemouth , a
beautiful seaside resort in Hampshire pro
tected by pine woods. He now walks out
dally , but at first he only drove for a short
time during the warmest part of the day.
He and Mrs Mabel Choate have been the
recipients of many civilities at the hands
of the authorities , and yesterday the mayor
of Bournemouth , at the raqucst of the
town council , waited on the ambassador to
welcome him and express the hop of' the
townspeople that the salubrious air would
completely restore his strength. The con
versation was quite Informal and the am
bassador said he could always bear testi
mony to the curative properties of Bourne
mouth air , as It had made a now man of
him In a few clays. He haa been vc-y dis
criminating In dealing' witn the. social and
public Invitations showered upon him , and
Mrs. Choate resolved to feel her way care
fully In London society before going Into
entertainment. The ambassador has ac
cepted an Invitation from the treasurer and
benchers of Lincoln's Inn on the grand
night at the end of the month , when several
judges and one or two royalties will be

The pioneer of the bloomer movement
here Is sorely 'tried by the verdict of the
Surrey jury. Viscountess Harberton , presi
dent of the National Dress society , pre
sented herself some time since In bloomers
at Hautboy Inn. Asking for lunch , the
landlady refused to permit her In that
costume to use the luncheon room with the
other women , and compelled her to have
refreshment in the bar parlor with a num
ber of villagers and smoking male cyclists ,
The Cyclist Touring club Instituted prose
cution against the landlady under the
licensing law for refusing refreshment to a
traveler , but the Jury found for the land
lady. An appeal Is now being lodged by
the viscountess to a higher court , as the
national dress society realizes If this de
cision Is unquestioned Innkeepers will ren
der their lives Intolerable to them. But
the bloomer costume Is making no progress
whatever among English cycling women ,
They recognize In SO per cent of the cases
It Is hideously unbecoming. That fact , nol
male prejudice Is the real bar to the suc
cess of the rational dress movement.
New York dispatches hare noted for weeks
back the growth of the gambling craze In
many forms In London society. The copper
boom has brought thousands In a couple of
weeks to many smart women. Bridge whist
with Its accompaniment of heavy wagering
has filled or emptied the purses of many
others , while male gambling on a much
more serious scale Is going on in some of
the beet West End clubs. There will now
be the Inevitable scandal. A young member
lost nearly $60,000 the other night at the
exclusive Bachelors' club , with the result
that he found himself In financial straights ,
and the whole story of hla high play that
bad been proceeding quietly there for
months came before a commltte * .
Move to Stipprc Gambling.
A strong party In the club Is agitating
for the prohibition of card playing alto
gether , which. If carried out , would cause
a large recession. But stringent regula
tions are being prepared by n committee
to prevent a recurrence of recent gambling
Then another most respectable West End
political club has had Its gambling scandal
For months high playing has been carried
on in a private room , ostensibly without
the knowledge of the club officials , though
the fact Is known to all card-playing mem
bers One player lost heavily and falsified
the books of the firm In which be was a
partner to cover his leases. The fraud was
discovered and he fled His wife , however ,
heard how he had lost both her fortune and
his own , leaving her almost penniless. She
saw the chief members of the coterie among
whom be had gambled and frankly Informed
them that unless she got $50,000 , which was
only a small part of her husband's losses ,
bho would make a public exposure of the
whole business. The money was paid within
five days
This heavy play In reputable clubs Is at
tributed to the drastic action of the police
In suppressing the recognized West End
gaming clubs which were patronized by
Inveterate gamblers. The result has been
that these have been driven to seek gam <
bllng excitement at their own clubs , steadily
extending the area of evil until It bai
reached almost unprecedented proportion !
In London's best clubs. The scandal at thi
Bachelors' has drawn the attention of othei
cub ) committees to the danger and they an
all on the nlert now , but the play goes ot
just the same.

The Prlncesa of Wales' sudden Jouroe

the gossips' lonRiiw freely wagging It Is
a most eccentric performance , llko her
flight from Cone * latt eonson , and was
undertaken too hurriedly to admit of any
ofllrlal explanation. She started nl a mo
ment's notice , accompanied only by n maid
and courier , leaving her two daughters ,
Princess Christian of D nmark , and Prin
cess Victoria on board the royal yacht at
Osborne without Informing them whether
she Intended to return or not. The origi
nal plan of their yachting tour Included
visits to Athens and ( Jrete , with a view of
the betrothal of Princess Victoria to Prince
George of Crete , which project I hear hns
collapsed owing to Princess Victoria's un
willingness. The situation of the two prin
cesses Is most nwkward , and they forthwith
steamed for Genoa to meet Empress Fred
eric and Princess Henry ot Battenberg , who
are traveling to Home. These four royalties
had a consultation In- the elation master's
private room at Genfia , aftar which the
princesses returned on board the royal
yacht , while Queen Victoria was asked as
to what was to be done.
Curiously enough , Iho Prince of Wales ,
though at Monte Carlo , within a few hours'
rail of Genoa , doc ? not appear to have
been concerned In the affair at all
According to one story current In high
society nt the Riviera , the Princess of
Wales' performance la merely a fresh
maulfestntirn of eccentricity that has been
rapidly developing of late , taking the form
ni a rule of extreme restlessness. H Is
berne In mind that her sister ; the duchess
rt Cumberland , has > bten for many years
periodically mentally unstrung On the
other hand , gossip from Copenhagen has It
that old King Christian , since the queen's
death , has been steadily falling under the
Influence of n. Russian lady-ln-waltlng to
the late queen , and the princess was sum
moned by the dowager empress of Russia
to rescue her father from the tolls of this
siren. The fact that the only attempted
otllclal explanation of the princess' unex
pected appearance In the Danish capital Is
that she desired to congratulate King Chris
tian personally on his birthday only adds to
the mystery of the whole affair.

This week an electric call board was
erected In the London Stock exchange to
replace the old system of a waiter with a
stentorian \olce summoning the members
by name when wanted o.itsldo. Tor the first
two days the ordinary business was seriously-
Impeded by furious betting on the chances
ot each number turnlns up. Considerable
sums wete wagered until one member , de
termined to put an end to. the nuisance , ar-
I ranged with others outside that a certain
sequence of numbers should be hoisted. The
scheme , simple .as It "was , succeeded HO well
that several 'principal gamblers were
severely hit and scarcely consoled for being
duped so easily when their money was re
turned and the transparent deception , ex
plained. Betting on the electric call board
since then has been nt a discount.
Thomas Rills , member ofv Parliament and

First , School Teacher Ellis became secretary
to Sir John Brunner , the great alkali mil
lionaire , who got him Into Parliament. He
was appointed assistant whip by Gladstone
and when Lord Tweedmouth , then chief ,
went Into the House of Lords Ellis was , to
the surprise of every one , named as his suc
cessor in the Commons by Uosebery.
Chief whip Is one of the most onerous ,
difficult and Important positions. It Is
i virtually chief wire-puller , and until Ellis'
appointment , was always associated with a
high social position and usually wealth , as
i social Influences are the most potent means
of keeping English politicians in good humor.
' Ellis' appointment was the reversal of all
i the old traditions and was not successful.
He was unfitted for the position , Its worries
( undermined his naturally frail constitution
and sent him prematurely to the gravo. He
married only last year.

Grip still claims its victims by hundreds
In London , with the result that social func
tions have been brought almost to a stand
still. Georca Wyndham , just appointed
financial secretary In the War department ,
husband of Countess Grosvenor , and thought
to be the handsomest man in the House of
'Commons ' , Is lying dangerously 111 with
bronchitis , following an attack of grip. The
i wives of four cabinet ministers are ill , while
numerous members of Parliament are among
its victims. Mrs. Henry White has shown
some slight Improvement this > week.
Sir Herbert Naylor Leyland remains prac
tically In the same condition. His throat
affection Is showing no Improvement , the pa
tient being In a state of extreme debility ,
wftlch Is very alarming to Lady Leyland.

nights at the Hltz with Countess de Grey ,

Wlmbornc House , but the Bradley-Martins
and son have gone across to New York for
a few weeks' stay before taking up their resi

has been expressed at the Intimation that
the duchess of Marlborough does not propose

London's two pioneer Sunday papers appear
today. They are ot distinctly different type.
Mr. Harmsworth's Sunday Mall is a frank
adaptation of the American Sunday news
paper with features of direct human interest
and Illustrations. Its method of printing
advertisements Is a faithful reproduction of
the effective style originated in America
nnd Is an absolute Innovation In English
Journalism. In the Initial Issue Lord Kitch
ener describes what Khartoum will be In
the twentieth century , Dr. SchwcnlnRer tells
the secret of Bismarck's life , Hall Calnc
writes on the life of a novelist and Clement
Scott recounts Sir Henry Irv Ing's struggle
for fame. There Is a news section on the
lines ot the Dally Mall.
Sir Edward Law-son's Sunday Telegraph
Is on the conventional English journalistic
model , which the unprecedented success of
the Dally Mall would seem to have conclu
sively proved to be out of date. All of
the staff of the Dally Telegraph , Sir Edwin
Arnold , J P. O'Connor , Bennett Burlelqli ,
P. D. Tralll , W. L. Courtney and others
contribute articles on what are to be their
fixed topics week by week. J. P. O'Connor
writes "The Book of Work , " Arnold on
"Passing Events , " Tralll "A Series of Fan
tasies on N'Isltors from the Shades , " and
Burleigh describes "The Battles of a Llfe-
tlnle. " The drama , finance , sport and
woman's topics are to be regularly treated
In addition , of course , to Saturday's news
from all quarters.
The Mall Is by far the more attractive
and the remarkable success of Us dally Issue
along the same lines Is the best justification
of Alfred Harmsworth's plan. 1 have al
ready predicted that the other big London
dallies Avlll be constrained peen to follow
the example of their enterprising rivals.
The Dally News mildly attempted yesterday

DUBLIN , April 8. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The unity
conference held hero Tuesday to termlnato
the dissension among the Irish parties has ,
If not actually failed , at least hung fire.
The attachment of the Irish people to home
bule remains undlmlnlshcd. In the elections
for the newly established county council
that have Just taken place throughout Ire
land the home rule candidates have swept
the country In Munster , Lelnstcr and Con-
naught , while even In the most conserva
tive districts of Ulster the nationalists ob
tained notable success. Throughout three
nationalist provinces unionist candidates
stood In every county , reckoning on the
apparently apathetic condition of political
feeling supervening on factlonlst distensions
to eiiablethein _ to slip In and secure large
representations If not control of some or
the most Important new county boards.
But , except In isolated cases where the
unionists on personal grounds were elected
unopposed , they have been overwhelmingly
defeated and the policy of Impeding pol
itics Into these elections was denounced uy
John Redmond and bis friends , who arguea
that toleration should bo shown to the
unionists , who should be accorded fair rep
resentation , as the best way of storting
now bodies on their career Dillon , on
the contrary , recommended that no quar
ter be extended to the enemies ot home
rule until homo rule had been attained
Among the most notable of the defeated
unionists are Lard Castletown , Lord Mayo ,
marquis of Ormonde , Karl Rossa , Lord
Langford , all of whom stood In their own
counties , where they have extensive prop
erties and where under the county govern
ment system recently abolished they vir

that Cardinal Vuughan Is to bo nominated for
the papacy at the next conclave by a com
bination of Germany. France and Great
Britain is baseless. The cardinal said today
on being asked about the story
"It is the first I have heard of such a
proposition , which Is mere Invention. "
The only way In which Vaugban could be
elected would be through a compromise be
tween two other equally powerful candi
dates. It La certain that the Italian
cardinals will take good care that no "for

their own number without difficulty when
