The United States now holds title to some ground for a coaling station at Pago-Pagon the island of Tntuila. This island is the least in size of any of the group, but it is large enough to support a naval station, so that it has been the plan of the state department to acquire it as a whole in the event of dissolution of the tripartite agieement. Rasing the dtvision of the existing interests of the three nations, Germany holding the largest interest, would take the island second in size, possessing the capital, Apia, while. Great Rritain would secure the least in size of the group, but the second in commercial importance.

London, Aug. 29. The czar's proposition fur an international conference for the purpose of obtaining real and lusting peace among the powers and the termination of the progressive increase in armament, as conveyed in a note from Count Muravieff, the Russian foreign minister,- to the foreign diplomats at SL Petersburg, is likely to produee a sensation tnroughout Europe, and coming from such a quarter and with such sincerity of purpose, it Is likely to have important effects. There is no doubt that with Russia taking the lead in such a step, Germany, France and the other nations will he ready to follow. Surprint! at Furls. Paris, Aug. 29. The Paris papers publish the car's note, but too late for comment. In diplomatic and press circles the greatest surprise is evinced. Itis no secret that the sensitive czar's feelings are towards peace. He hates militarism and even objects to moving about with a military escort. He would prefer to govern Poland with sympathy aad is shocked by bloodshed. Here the great question is asked: What attitude does the Kaiser Wilhelm take?" Visits to various newspaper olficea how the tone the journals will take The Aurore is delighted with the proposal. Le Journal thinks it is a good omen for the future if the autocratic czar makes the proposal The Gaulois thinks it impossible that he could have made such a grave pro posal without having first consulted France, especially as it comes at the moment of the exchange of telegrums between the czar and President Faure. d cr-.- Adilri-mirt- Products a SeiiMtlliin In i:uruie.

In the capital city, Apia, there is maintained tripartite municipal government of vast proportionate expense, while the reports show that a few ratepayers are obliged to bear the entire cost.

It is announced at the war department that General Merritt will go to Paris to give the peace commission the benefit of his experience in the Philippines. The original plan had lieen to send Admiral Dewey to Paris for this purpose, hut this was changed upon representations from the admiral that he could be of greater service at Manila than in Paris. Whether or not General Merritt will return to the Philippines has not yet been determined; that will depend entirely upon the slate of affairs in the islands when the peace commission concludes its labors. The choice of a. route is left to himself, but it is expected he will be in Paris within fio days at tin; latest. During General Merritts absence.
