SPEECH BY THE AMERICAN COMMISSIONER AT MELBOURNE.
Melbourne, this day. Sic James Mcßain gave a luncheon lasfc evening in connection with the Centenniaj Exhibition.
Mr McCappin, the American Commissioner, referred in the course of his speech to the Samoan question. He said America was striving to preserve the autonomy of Samoa, but Australia was silent. It would be deplorable if, in the give-and-take policy of European statesmen, the independence of Samoa were sacrificed. These sentiments were warmly applauded. Mr Warmuth, the German Commissioner, became irritated, and left the room. He contends that it was a breach of etiquette to raise a question of foreign policy ab an international exhibition.
