CHAMBERS MAKES REPORT
Chief Juitios of Samoa Confers with Officials
at Washington.
STATES THAT HE HAS NOT RESIGNED
State Drpnrtmpnt In Acting on the
Throrr thnt He In Still in Full
I'ORRefmlon of the
ontce.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 4. Chief Justlco
Chambers of Samoa Is here to confer with
officials and to submit his report to the
three powers represented In Samoa.
While avoiding a discussion ot pending
diplomatic questions Judge Chambers , when
seen today , spoke In an Intelligent manner
on eomo ot the general conditions In Samoa
and also cleared up some misapprehensions
as to his own status and plans. Notwith
standing reports ot his resignation Judge
Chambers states that he has not resigned ,
but on the contrary that he still holds the
position of chief Justice of Samoa. In
this position , moreover , ho Is sustained by
the State department , which Is acting on
the theory that he Is In full possession ot
the office , although temporarily absent.
Ho also pointed out that It has been fre
quently stated that he comes to Washington
to report to the State department , whereas
ho was chosen chief juslco by all three
governments the United States , Great
Britain and Germany and bis reports are
made In triplicate to all of them.
It was this , he Is Inclined to think , T.hlch
led to some exception being taken by ono
of the signatory powers , as eomo of the
criticisms which he found necessary to ex
press as to the course of an official ot that
government were furnished to it as ' .veil r.s
to the United States. In that way Great
Britain and Germany have been at all times
Informed of everything that Judge Cham
bers has reported to the United States and
In some Instances this frankness of Inter
course has led to differences.
As to the troubles In Samoa between him
and Consul General Rose , Judge Chambers
will not speak of at present but Intimates
that they will bo quite fully covered In his
report to the three governments. Tun re
port will bo sent direct to Lord Salisbury
and Prince Hohenlohe as well as to Secre
tary Hay.
Speaking of American Interests in Samoa
Judge Chambers said :
"Wo have a magnificent harbor at Pago-
Page , and from the magnitude of Improve
ments which the government Is making It
may be Inferred we Intend to stay there.
The second largest coal warehouse In the
world Is under cocttntctlon , at a cost ot
something like f 404,600. "
Judge Chumber * also tayo the Samoin
people are Intelligent and tractable It
dealt with In a straightforward manner. He
thinks well ot the work done by the Samoan -
moan commlssslon and believed their plan
for governing the Islands will prove ad
vantageous.
Judge Chambers will be here for come
days , expecting to meet Judge Trlpp , the
United States commissioner to Samoa , and
to confer with the State department officials.
He also will have a talk with the president
on the return of the latter from Phila
delphia.
WORK BEGINS ON NEW ROAD
Grading Operation * Now In Progrcns
on a Line Lending Out of
Ynnkton.
YANKTON , S. D. , Sept. 4. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Railroad building from this point
has now actually begun. Last night a spe
cial train over the Milwaukee arrived "with
thirty-eight teams and apparatus for grad
ing. This morning at 8' Vfelock they begun
work. The road , as surveyed , will run from
a point seven miles northwest on the main
line of the Milwaukee , known as Dllger's
farm , through Tabor , a small town In Bon
Homme county , thence to Tyndall. From
Tyndall , where work is under way for the
same road , it is thought the road will extend
up the Missouri to Charles Mix county.
The new road from Yankton to Tyndall
puzzles many , as the Milwaukee Is now prac
tically covering this same territory , and the
only explanation given la their desire to close
out other roads , such as the Northwestern ,
Great Northern and Illinois Central from
entering a rich country such as lies between
hero and Tyndall , south of their main line
and also their Tyndall line and on up the
Missouri river. But should any of these
other llneo make a move from here up the
Missouri to Charles Mix county they will un
doubtedly leave Tyndall , the county seat of
Bonhomme county , entirely off their line ,
which If done will be the death blow to that
thriving little burg , as there is too good a
stretch of country lying between the Mil
waukee and the new line and the Missouri
bluffs to allow two Milwaukee lines Into
Tyndall to bother them.
The now road now at work upon , It Is
nrgued. will be a detriment to Yankton , as
Taboe , a small Bohemian village , will then
absorb the trade that now comes from that
section , especially in the way of stock
shipments. With the prospective railroad
building to be done in Bonhommo county
In the near future , land has increased in
value 50 per cent and should any of the
above named roads move from here , this
advance would also take place In Yankton
county. People throughout this section ,
also Bonhomme county , are watching with
great Interest all railroad moves which tend
to their benefit. It is conceded by all large
shippers of stock west and northwest of
here that should either the Illinois Central ,
Great Northein or Northwestern move In
this direction , especially the two former , It
will be much to their advantage.
