Violent headache fever and chills, sneezing and run ning at the eyes and not-e togeth er with the Djnc racking aches and pain and a geneial exhaus tion are the rule rather than the exception.

Washington advices of recent dale state : The situation in the Sainoan islands is realized here to be toll of gravity. For some time past there has been an exchango of corn spoil deneo between tho three govern ments, parlies to tho treaty of Perl in, respecting tlie choice of a successor to tho late King Malictoa and some friction developed, owing to thw strict adherence of thn I'nited States government to the terms of the treaty. Tho statements in the dis patch from Samoa ero not regarded liero as conclusive for the reason that they are in conflict with tho provisions of the treaty. If, as reported, Katie I, the presi dent of the mnnicipal council at Apia and tho German consul have, seized tho supreme court and pro noiinced themselves practically dictators, it is said hero that they have violated tho treaty absolutely. The functions of the president oT the municipal council are already dt fii ed by tho treaty and the last advices received were to the t fleet that President t'tafle.! had been granted leave or absence and in tended to visit New Zealand. It was also understood that his succes sor had licen selected and it was throiight was on his way to his post. Tho chief justice under the treaty is made tho court of last resort un der any circumstances, and more over, tho treaty in terms provides distinctly that in case of any dispute between the natives themselves or lietwccn the foreigners in Samoa, that dispute shall be referred to the chief justice and his decision shall be final. It was known here that the Pritish and American consular offi cers at Apia have been acting in accord '. the present involved political situation thete, ami al though the interests of the I'nited States may not com pare with those of Germany, yet their rights unocr the treaty are rrjiutl, and it may U; slated they will lie maintained. The Same as Cuba. A Washington dispatch states that the Democratic Senators in con ference had agreed to insist on an amendment tothereaty with Spain, placing the I hiiippmes on the same footing with Cuba, which means that when a stable Government shall be established iu the islands this Government shall retire and turn the government of the islands over to their people. Ihis is not as imperative as the resolution offered a tew days ago by Senator Hoar, requiring recognition of Philippine independence, but it aims at the same thing, the only difference being that it gives this Government more time to act with deliberation, and some discretion as to when it should recognize the in dependence of the islands and witli- raw. It shows, too, that the Dem ocratic Senators make due allowance for the pi culiar conditions by which this Government is confronted in the Philippines, and that they have no disposition to embarrass it iu its efforts to meet those conditions. It is also a declaration of an honest purpose to live up to our pledges ex pressed or implied, and according to the policies and principles ujvon which this government is founded, txilicies and principles which have always distinguished us from the land-grabbing nations which have ignored tho riyht, and robbidthe weak simply because they wanted the territory grabbed, arid the owners had not the power to suc cessfully resist them. We have condemned time and again this land-pirating by other nations at d never showed any dis position to imitate u until this ex pansion crszo took possession of some of our statesmen. lA-t it go out to the wot Id that we cannot lie tempted to ignore our principles tor the sake of territorial a.-iinisition and then we can stand on our record a nation that holds its honor above hist ot empire.
