Negrotiations for the perfection.' of the treaty arrange ments piroviding for the g-eograpihical partiti'on, of Samoa have been tramsf er red from' London to Washington. Con versational exchanges on; the subject took pPace at the state department to day between. British Ambassador Pauncefote, German; Ambassador Hoi- leben and Secretary Hay. The most interesting development of tnis transterence is thiait-the- nesrotia- statements to that effect given out of' flcially in Berlin and confirmed in Lon dkn. ' . It appears that while - Ambassador Choate was a party as1 party to the London negotiations they included act- aially and formally ooily the surrender of England's interests n Samoa to Germany. The transfer by England and Germany to the United Stiates of the island of Tutila was not formerly arranged in treaty form, and the nego tiations now going on here are being conduced with a view tk that' end. There is no dispute about the transfer of Tutila and some of the smalled isl ands iim the group and no difficulty is expected in perfecting the treaty. JUSTICE CHAMBERS RESIGNS. Washington, Nov. 18. Chief Justice Chambers, of Samoa, lias tendered his resignation and it las been accepted. His resignation has also been accepted, by Germany and England. It has been sent to the other powers concerned and will doubtless be accepted. The resig nation is understood to be due to the belief on his part that no good cou'd come of bis (return to Samoa in atni of ficial capacity and not to the fact that the tripartite powers ihave agreed op the partition, of the island among them selves. .

Sale of Steel Plant Fell Through Pre dicts Great Year in Iron. Pittsburg, Nov. 18. In an interview today Andrew Carnegie said that when ihe gave an. option to his partners to buy his interests in: the steel company some time ago he thought matters were settled, but circumstances arose which prevented it. Probably the sole thought was that the price was too high. He said he declined to give an extension of the option and declared that the next party that wants an op tion will have to take it at greatly ad vanced figures. He predicted that next year would be the bammer year in pro fits for manufacturers in iron. WAGES IN FALL RIVER Fail River, Mass., Nov. 18 The cot ton manufacturers of the city are per turbed over the attitude displayed over the Textile council yesterday, when it -voted tio make a second demand for a raise in wages, the; request to be back ed up by a threat of a general strike. They expected that the' council would make the demand and knew that the increase asked would be ten per cent., but they did nbt ilook for the threat of a strike. There is little reason to fear that the manufacturers will allow mat ters to drift so far that a stoppage. of the mills will be the result. While there would not be much profit in. run ning under al wage schedule higher than the present rate, it is generally agreed that there would be much less for some time to come if a strike of large proportions was brought about They look upon the threat Of the op erators as an attempt to force a com promise just when business is boom ing. They must realize that If present conditions continue it is only a ques tion of a few months when business would warrant an increase beyond any doubt. DEATH OF MISS WEAVER The death of Miss Annie E.'

FAILURE TO DECIDE THE CHAM PIONSHIP OF THE SOUTH SOME GREAT KICKING AND FINE ALL ROUND PLAY Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 18. Yale virtually triumphed over Harvard to day, although neither scored. Yale proved a surprise. Thirty-five thousand persons witnessed the game. Superb generalship, consummate craftiness, wonderful strength, lightning activity combined to send Yale off the field with laurels well earned, although a decisive victory was not achieved. Harvard failed to carry the day be cause of blunders of headwork and nu merous bungles. Captain MeBride, of Yale, was the hero of the day. It was his headwork and superb punting that kept the ball out of the hands of Har vard: during the second half. Yale's rush line put up phenomenal runs. Harvard began the game under a slight handicap. B'oal, one of her best players, being unable to play, having wrenched his arm a few days ago. N Harvard's half backs made numerous startling - runs.

This committee was composed of Alderman West, chairmami of the street committee; Street Superintendent Bostic and San- itary Inspector Bird, who looked care fully into the matter and' decided on a $340 machine to be used a week on trial. It is a durable sweeper, pulls light and has an equalizing bar tk ad just the broom to amy inequality in the street, in addition to its other im provements. It will be fitted with hickory brushes, which the company recommend more highly than any other kind, and! a patent filler was also or dered to put in the new brushes.
