SAMOAN ENQUIRY.
HEARING OF EVIDENCE CONCLUDES. (fruss association.—jt wiebless.) APIA, October 25. The evidence before the Commission was praotically finished yesterday evening, though a sitting in Chambers today is possible to hear the evidence of one more, witness. Otherwise the Commission's public sittings stand adjourned for two days to give counsel time to prepare their addresses. To date the Commission has sat twenty-five days of usually six and a half hours, and has heard scores of witnesses some of whom, as individuals, spoke as representatives of scores oi: others. » Much irrelevant evidence has been adduced and yesterday Sir Charles Skerrett, chairman of the Commission, repeated his observation of two weeks ago that anywhere else, but in Apia, "where for some unascertained reason there is a peculiar atmosphere of suspicion," he would have stopped the immaterial evidence adduced that day by Mr Baxter, cross-examining counsel.
