(At SE OF SAMOAN TKOI Ill.E.
Germans Charged hy a Resident of
the Islands With Instigating the
Warring < litef.
From the New York Herald.
In a private letter received by a gentle
man in New York from a friend in Apai,
Samoa, much light is thrown on the politi
cal situation now existing there ami
which promises to result very seriously
to the American and British residents of
rite Islands because of the attitude assum
ed by Mataafa, the aspirant for the ihron.
made vacant several months ago by the
death of Malietoa Laupepa.
The Germans are said to be chiefly to
blame for the trouble which exists, and
which threatens to become most serious.
The actual news features of the situaron
u Samoa were to.d in the Herald of Sat
urday last, under dale of Dec. 28, from
Apia. The authority of the chief justice,
W. L. Chambers, an American, who was
appointed jointly by the three Powers—
he United States. England and Germany
—which adopted the Berlin treaty, is open
ly detied by the German consul, and the
•Idef justice is subjected to gross insult
hy that official. The letter is in part as
follows:
“Mataafa is supported by the Germans*
in his aspirations for the throne not be
ause they have any love for him, nor
have they forgiven the defeat of their
sailors at the battle of Fug a1 i on Dec. 12,
1888, in which twenty-three were killed
by Mataafa’s troops, but because he is
nti-British, although when he fought the
Germans in 1888 he was most friendly to
the Americans and English. The Ger
mans say that the London Missionary So
ciety, which has been established in Sa
moa for many years, has always support
• 1 the Malietoa party, and they look up
the society as the forerunnner of British
annexation. The Germans have complete
ly thrown over the Tamasese party, who
they so strongly supported in 1888-89, and
Tamasese has Joined forces with the Ma
iietoa party. It is the most complete
turnover you over saw.
“The German cousul. following the cus
tom of his predecessors here, has done
and is doing all in his power to bring about
trouble, so that the Germans may have
tn excuse to land men from their war
ship in the harbor and thus attempt to
ain the foothold which they have been
seeking for so many years; but Capt.
Sturdee of the English warship Porpoise,
has checkmated him at every point.
“The German consul has accused Chief
Justice Chambers of malfeasance in office
and has specified a number of charges,
such as unfair decisions and partiality in
cases lietween Germans and persons of
other nationalities. The charges are friv
olous and most transparent, and the ob
ject of making them is thoroughly under-
Tood by the American and English resi
dents.
“The assertion been made by the
German consul that the residents of Ra
moa are losing confidence 1n the Supreme
Court of the country. This Is a fabrica
tion. for during the last two years (he
business of the court has lv-fn steadily
increasing, and natives of all parties from
all parts of the Rarnoan group of islands
have been appearing in oeurt when sum
moned to do so. The Supreme Court had
had no assistance whatever from the con
suls or their governments or from (he war
hips that happened to he here, and stilt
up to the time of Mataaf.a’s return from
the Marshall Islands the court was stead
ily becoming a power in the land.
“Chief Justice Chambers has replied to
the charger of the German consul bv ac
cusing him of prejudice, malice and false
hood.

New York. Jan. 20.—The cotton market
showed pronounced leaning toward the
bull sale pretty much all day. The most
prominent feature of developments was a
sharp turn of New Orleans and Liver
pool - shorts and a certain well-known
oversold exitort house, this buying for the
most part being in lie January, Match
and May deliveries. Throughout the day
these positions showed a relatively much
firmer position to Ihe rest of the list, Jan
uary, In fact, reaching a l* vel of 10 points
over the tin it figure of yesterday.
While steady in tone at the start, prices
went off 1 to 4 points in sympathy with
weakness In Liverpool futures. Reports
of continued good weather over the cot
ton belt and prospects of a larger move
ment at the ports for the day than had
liecn anticipated added to the reactionary
condition of the early market. Shortly
after the call, however, wire investment
orders bee,in to arrive, which, with ac
tive demand for Wail street account, Id
to a turn In the course of the market.
Isdc cables refb ■ ted a more stable feel
ing abroad; Southern dispatches indicate']
fltmer spot markets, dilatory crop prepa
rations and unsettled weather prospers,
ail of which operated to utnl rmlne the po
slticn of shorts. Covering became g neral
and for a time tire bubs were In control.
A further rise in stocks sentimentally
influenc'd the rollon market and led to
talk of the speculative public directing
mote attention to the. staple. The laic
market was rather less active, but dis
played well sustained strength. The Its t!
trade were also disappoint'd In the smaller
spot sales abroad, but 10,060 bales h. iug
reported. Reports from New England
showed yams and cloths to lx- In brisk
demand at outside prices. The market
closed very steady at a loss of 1 [saint
to a r.et train of 8 points.

of front 2 to :t points, but after the tlrst

ing of tile shorts In the January option."
New York, Jan. 20. Hubbard, Price &
Cos. say of cotton to-.lav: 'Liverpool re
fused lo pay any attention to the the
American markets and declined in face of
Ibt' sh adiness shown It* re. This was a great
surprise, as all expected higher foreign
markets and read to some realizing by
holders who policing a small increase In
the Interior receipts as compared with
lit** same day last week, sold. The cover
ing of some belated shorts in January and
buying orders for oulnlde account, espec
iuly on May delivery, carried the market
to th*i highest point touched on the ad
vance. Foreign selling orders were in evt
■ lenee Inti no one here cares to be short la
view of the sharp outside demand. Evory
iliii.g depends upon whether this demand
continues long enough to alarm the foreign
interests. European spinners holding large
stocks are not uneasy, believing the nd
vaiue simply a speculative movement
bound to fail in the face of the
urge crop .and supply. This Is
the reason of their refusal to
! upport Dlverpool this morning. The close
wits steady at about Ihe ls-sl prices. Liv
erpool selling distant deliveries on Ihe
.•lose was the feature, in sight’ for this
Week. 256,700 hull's, against 276,000 bales iasl
year."

DRV GOODS.
New York, Jan. 20 —An average amount
of business was r* jsirted In cotton good*
to-day without quotable change In prices.
Si ll* rs as a rule maintained quite a Urn*
altitude. The daily sales took care oU
the production not alrea.ly tinder contract,
and there was no accumulation of stock.
The general impression her*' is that price*
ivl.l again move upward in raw cotton be
fore long in both plain and fancy cottons.
•Tint cloths were very Arm, but the de
mand quiet. Export demand for
brown cottons Is Improving, also for print
ixl calicos. The demand for heavyweight)
woolens and worsteds for men's wear wad
moderate, and there was no change in lh*j
price situation. The dress good* business!
was fair anil chiefly in plain goods.
