DIPLOMATIC AFFAIRS.

Samoan Correspondence Just Made Public.

A VERY STARTLING STATEMENT.

A Series of tetters From United States Consul James H. Mulligan—Chief Justice

Henry Itle Severely Criticized—He Imagines Himself of Too Much Importance. This Assertion Made by Our Consul. WASHINGTON, April 6.—In the Samoan correspondence just made public by the 6tate department there is a series of letters from James H. Mulligan, United States consul general to Samoa, which are interesting from their free and easy style of communication regarding diplomatic affairs. Speaking of Chief Justice Henry Ide, who presides over the court established for Samoa by the three poweas, Great Britain, Germany and the United States, he says: "This so-called chief justice is a very pleasant and agreeable gentleman. Nature has not been lavish with him in her gifts, and he is not up to the gauge of Daniel Webster. He is violently impressed with his own importance and authority, and the most melancholy feature about him is that he labors under the impression that he is very smart. He is puffed up, consequential and devoted to the interests of Ide. He could wipe out eight-tenths of the pending litigation and prospective appeals by a prompt decision of the only real question of moment that he has or ever had before him, which is under the eighth section of Article 3." •'He persistently postpones in deciding it, and all in interest in such matters, such as lawyers and all others except the commissioners, are along with him in it, for a decision would almost certainly mean a great falling off of contests and litigation. "My notion is unless he has a personal scheme or ambition behind it that he knows his importance would be lessened like a collapsed balloon if he decided it in the only reasonable way it is susceptible of decision. "If the land litigation was once cleared away the powers or public would wake up to the absurdity of labeling an ordinary justice of the peace with the title of chief justice, whose duties would be confined to the trial of an occasional native for hooking bread fruit. "I shall lay before the department in the proper time the way this Vermont attorney has actually recommended and secured the enactment of a law depriving the king, who is, I think, at least his equal in ability of the pardoning power, save by his consent. I protest I have no rupture with Mr. Ide, who has been all courtesy to me, but the grasping ambition is so acute, the humbug is so apparent, that I feel it my duty to convey to your eye alone for your correct understanding the impressions of a mere stranger free from all friction or entanglement."

A CHARMING RtCEPTION

A DELIGHTFUL, DINNER AND A DANCE

Given by Mr. and Mrs. S. K. Wells at their .Beautiful Home on West, Main Street, Friday the 5th. St

One of the most brilliant and enjoyable society functions ©f the year was the aft ernoon reception and 7 o'clock, dinner at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Wells on West Main street, Friday. The lovely April day, with the well grounded anticipations of an enjoyable afternoon, resulted in an almost continuous stream of gnedts to and from the house between the hours of two to six. The lady guests who seemed to vie with each other in their elegant reception toilettes, never appeared to better advantage and seemed to etojoy the occasion exceedingly

The beautifully decorated rooms thronged with guests made a gay scene. The floral decorations were lavish and handsome—just enough and not too much as to appear ostentatious. The drawing room where Mrs. Wells received her guests, assisted by Mrs. John Wells, of Indianapolis, was entirely in delicate shades of pink. The summit of the tall mantle was graced by a large royal Worcester rose bowl of spicy nodding pink carnations, with trailings of smilax reflecting their dainty leaves and stems in the mirror below. A handsome brass and onyx stand held an immense bowl of La-France roses.

The hostess was very becomingly gowned in black satin with yellow satin sleeves under black silk net Mrs. John Wells also woie black satin with jet p?ssimentra trimmings.

Delicate asparagus vines ran riot around the oaken pillars and in and out through the fret-work which separated the drawing room from the music room. This room was in warm, velvety shades of red and heavy with the perfume of American beauty roses and scarlet carnations. Here Mrs. W. W. Cook and Mrs. D. B. Cooper served chocolate and coffee. Mrs. Cook wore a gown of scarlet chiffon and China silk, while Mrs. Cooper was charming in black silk skirt with light green silk waist.

The library was in white and green. Moss green ribbons and smilax curtaincd off a cozy corner in the bow window, which with waiving palms, Bermuda and calla lilliea forme.! a most delightful retreat, and suggested cheerful thoughts of the new year in its early spring beauty. An immense ball of lillies caught up the dainty custains of ribbon and smilax at the top, beneath which stood Miss Ella Marsh, gowned charmingly in black satin, with Hunter's green ribbons, and serving in her own dainty manner the most deliicous frozen punch in delicate cut-glass cups, and assisted by Mrs. Elbert Tyner, who wore black crepon skirt, with light green Persian waist.

Biide roses, white carnations, lillies and delicate traceries of smilax furnished the floral decorations. The controlling colors in the dining room were white and yellow. Heavy garlands of smilax were fastened from the chandalier to each corner of the large room. Under the center of the chandalier hung a large wicker basket of Marchiel Neil roses. An immense bowl of calla lillies stood on the top of the china cabinet, while the large side-board was decorated in yellow chrysanthemums, palms and ferns. Mrs. Jerome Kaley, in a beautiful costume of yellow organdie, designed in pansies, served the salids.

Mrs. I. P. Poulsou, in a gown of black and red striped silk, assisted in entertaining the guests in the drawing room.

Miss Lou Crawford, iu delicate green china silk with tiny designs of pink honeysuckle blossoms, assisted in the coffee room.

Numerous gold and silver candelabra, holding tapers of the prevailing colors. Banquet lamps, with silken shades and soft lights, lent a charmingly sweet effect. In a*co:y nook

011

the second laud

ing of the stairway Montani's orchestra rendered continuous music throughout the afternoon and evening, which helped to speed the happy hours away all too soon.

Mr. and Mrs. Wells had issued invitations to a seven o'clock dinner to the assisting ladies and their husbands, with the addition of Mr. and Mrs. Epli Marsh, Mr. and Mrs. E.P. Thayer, Jr. and Messrs O. O. Souders and Ray Geary.

At six o'clock the elegant carpets were canvassed for the evening dance, and at seven dinner was served.

An elaborate cuisine had been prepared by an Indianapolis chef, and was admirably served in seven courses.

On the outer edge of the floral table decorations were arranged, tiny bouquets, to which were attached narrow green ribbons leading down to each plate, at the other end of which were tied tasty little bunches of pansies. Taking hold of the pansies each gue3t could then draw to themselves the little bouquet. After dinner the evening was spent in dancing, fourteen numbers being on the program. The guests lingered until the "wee small hours," and bade their host and hostess good night with the pleasing impression of having spent a truly delightful afternoon and evening. 1
