AFFAIRS IN SAMOA. AMERICAN PRESS FURIOUS. Washington, January 26.
The American press are furious as regards affairs in Samoa. Secretary of State Bayard proposes the election of a King, with a council of natives nominated by Germans, English, and Americans. Prince Bismarck favours the idea of Germany, which he asserts has the largest interests in the Islands, nominating a King, the others to veto. Both Houses of Congress have under consideration the Samoan question, a belief spreading widely that Germany is overriding American rights in Samoa. The Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of Congress advocates that Malietoa, the deposed King of Samoa, be reinstated.
