The Secretary of the German embassy called early in the day upon Secretary Hay. Neither of the officials would disclose anything as to the nature of the exchange that took place.

Arrest of German Subject a Dangerous Feature. The arrest and detention by the British naval officials of a German subject is one of the most dangerous features of the controversy. It is said that the consuls of the three powers stationed at Apia claim extra territorial jurisdiction involving the right to try the subjects of their respective countries for any offenses alleged to have been committed.

This is the usual weeding out process of medal play, half of the holes in the morning and the remainder in the afternoon. Interest in the cards was of course keen when they were completed for the first round, yet there were few save competitors and caddies who braved the threatening sky.

The field, as drawn, was slightly changed, owing to some absences, but nearly all of the best men appeared.

The course was in fine shape for this time of the year, the greens being unusually fast, necessitating very careful approach work and putting. The best score thus far turned in is that of James A. Tying, who kept up his brilliant style of playing which he had displayed on the first three holes, and came in with a score of 85 for the morning round of the course. An instance of a player being punished for getting off the course was Tailer's taking ten for the sixteenth hole, 372 yards. He merely pulled his drive and gat into the rough grass on the edge of the course.

It so completely upset him that he schaffled his tee shot, driving for the seventeenth hole, which consumed nine more strokes for the hole. Taller had held his own pretty well up this time, as he was playing with James A. Tyng. The morning play, on the whole, was brilliant and promises well for a remarkable exhibition during the remainder of the week.

In all diplomatic quarters there was a disposition to treat the news as grave, but not as disrupting the plans for a settlement. Difference Between British and German Foreign Officers. A sharp difference has developed between the SWtish and German foreign offices as to getting' the high commission off for Samoa on the 19th.

The birds were "screamers" and the uncertainty of the supposed sure aim was never so cieariy exemplified. Mrs. p. H. Murrey of Stillwater, and Mrs.

W. C. Shattuck, Minneapolis, killed three straight and were generously applauded by the onlookers, many of whom had failed on one or more birds. Mrs. M.

It cost him a stroke to get out and Harriman was down in three to Douglas' four. Harriman played foxy golf in driving for the third hole and went far to the right, from which position he was able to pitch on to the green with his mashie without the danger of being trapped by the horseshoe bunker which guards the green.

Especially gratifying was the increasing interest displayed by the young people, particularly those identified with the Christian Endeavor Societies.
