Auckland, New Zealand, Feb. 2..-
The following advices have just been
received here from Apia, Samoan isl-
ands, under date of January 24, from
the correspondent of the Associated
Press:
“There has been a. clash of author—
ity between Chief Justice William L.
Chambers of the supreme court and
Dr. Joannes Raffel, the German presi-
dent of the municipality of Apia. Herr
Grosmuhl, a German resident of Apia,
Iwho was arrested for smashing the
windows of the supreme court cham-
ber, was sentenced by the chief justice
to imprisonment and to pay a fine. Dr.
Raffel instructed the police authorities
to release Herr G osmuhl, whose fine
was subsequently'fixed at one thous-
and dollars.
“The German consul, Herr Rose,
thereupon wrote to the American con-
sul, Lloyd W. Osbourn, and the Brit-
E. B. S. Maxse, protesting
fining l-lerr Grosmuhl was an infringe-
ment of German consulate rights.
“Messrs. Osbourn and Maxse jointly
replied in their official capacity that
the proper tribunal having dealt with
the matter the consuls could not in-
terfere. More than this, they declined
to have further intercourse with the
German consul or the German munici-
pal president, except in writing or to
attend meetings, except to consider the
acts of the municipal council of Apia,
unless an apology, with full 1etract'ion,
were offered. for the behavior toward
Chief Justice Chambers.
“At the same time the supreme
court summoned Dr. Rai’fel for con-
tempt of court in releasing Herr Gros-
muhl.
“There has been no further general
fighting between the partisans of the
rival chieftains since the last advices
were forwarded, except that a. party
of Mataafa’s followers was routed in
the bush by Malletoans. It is expect-
ed, however, that fighting will be re-
sumed, asflliataafa is rearresting per-
sons \1 ho have already been fined and
released.
“The work of pillage continues, am—
ong the houses looted being Vaililma,

the novelist.
“The exiled Malletoan chiefs 'Xvere
landed at Pago Pago, on the island of
Tutuila, the schooner on which they
were being unable to proceed to the is-
land of Manua, owing to the adverse
winds. The Tutuilians gave a hearty
welcome to them, and made an attempt
to seize Mataafa’s son, who was Ion:
board the schooner, but the captain
put to sea."

Paris, Feb. 2.—-T11e most ardent sup—
porters of the theory that Dreyfus was
unjustly condemnedfnow admit that
there is no longer the least hope that
justice‘will be done.
A prominent member of the Univer—
sity of Paris who from the first has
been a champion of a revision of the
trial, ems:
“For ninety —nine out of a hundred
Frenchmen the ;uilt or innocence Hi
Dreyfus is a manor of sentiment. All
the reasoning in the world would not
induce them to change their attitude,
There are millions of Frenchmen who
will insist upon Dreyfus’s guilt in spit...
,of any proof to the contrary. A terri~
ble feature of the situation is that the
atitude of this majority is dictated by
motives which they believe to be 1.1::-
serving of the highest respect. 1 ud-
mit that some of the Dreyfusards arc:
much [0 blame for this. The best caus»
may be ruined by disreputable adher-
ents, and there are men on the Drey.
fus side of whom every patriotit
Frenchman is the natural enemy.
"While the majority of us have been
merely demanding that justice should
be done. a p-. stizent minor; ty has made:
this demand .-.n exc 11w f01 v11ule11t on-

In conclusion the membm of the uni-

NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.
Rapid Pi-Iugress Made by the House Com-
mittee on Commerce. 1 .
Washington, D. (3., Feb. 1.--Sucl1
progress on the Nicaragua. canal ques—
tion was made by the House committee
on commerce yesterday that it was
eXDECted that final action will be taken
at the hex t meeting or the committcc
on Friday.
The discussion was on Chairman
Hellburn’s bill and numerous amend—
ments were proposed with a’view to
perfecting this bill and making it thr:
one to be finally reported,
An amendment agreed on strikes out
the word “sovereignty” in referring to
the route which the president is to ac-
quire from Nicaragua and Costa Ric-o.
The purpose of this amendment is 1::-
overcome the objection that the coxv
stitution of Nicaragua will not permn
a delinquishment of sovereignty ovu
any territory.
Other propositions were submitted
as to the authority to be given to the
president in acquiring the canal route.
One by Mr. Sherman if New York is
as follows:
That authority is hereby given the
president to negotiate, by commission
or otherwise, W 1th Nicaragua and Cos-
ta Rica, or with any individual com-
pany or association, for the purchase
"or use of any lands, waters,I rights,
privilges, contracts, concessions, or
other property deemed necessary as
expedient "to facilitate the immediate
construction of an inter-oceanic canal
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Another form proposed by Mr. Ad-
amson of Georgia, authorizes the'pres-
ident to acquire by purchase from Nic»
aragua and Costa Rica the. territory
necessary “to.excavate, construct con—
trol and defend,” etc.
Both these propositions went over,
and the exact phraseology will be de-
termined, it is expected, next Friday.
Members of the committee expressed
the opinion that there would be no
opposition to reporting a. bill, except
possibly from Mr. Fletcher of Minne-
sota. ,
