OUR ENJOYS SPOKE FRENCl

Nor is it true that two of the American men,
bers of the conference were entirely ignorant
of that language. Mr.. Phelps spoke that Ian
guage in diplomatic intercourse at the Austrian
court. and MIR. Bates himself assured me that he
understood almost every word the count uttered
on that memorable occasion.
At the presentation of the colors last Thurs
day morning to the first regiment of foot
guards. Messrs. Kasson. Phelps and Bates were
in evening dress. and / understand that the
kaiser was graciously pleased to express his re-
greet at the iron rule that insists on that cos
tune on such occasions as a substitute for full
uniform. Amid that large crowd of imperial
guests, attired one and all in uniforms of every
hue of the rainbow, the American representa-
tives attracted general notice by the republi-
can simplicity of their attire. 1t is safe to say
that If ever three American diplomatsts re-
GREETED the absence of diplomatic uniform in
the American service these three gentlemen
did. The two young naval officers, Lieutenants
Buckingham and Parker, were in full uniform
cooked hats and all. and a couple of handsomel
young fellows could scarcely have been picked
out to DO Uncle Sans service credit.

CLAIMS IN SAMOA.
Statement of what Prince Bismarck
will be Satisfied with.

Cable Special to the New York Herald
BERLIN, May 6.-From a source which,
though excellent, am not at liberty to quote,
/ am enabled to present to you an approximate
estimate of the terms that would satisfy Ger
many in solution Of the Samoan difficulty.
1t cannot be denied-nor is it denied by
Americans who have been in the islands-that
the Germans have invested in Samoa more
money (three times as much, they claim than
both England and the United States taken to-
gether. What the German government, there
fore, claims is. in the first place, satisfaction
for the killing of the German officers and sail
ors in the action with Mataafa's men on Deem
Der IL last, and secondly, compensation for the
losses sustained by German investors and own
ers OF plantations
WILLING TO BE BOUGHT OUT.
If, therefore, the United States will purchase
the plantations owned by the German COM
pany, or if the Samoans themselves will pur-
chase these plantations. payment being guar
anteed by the United States, Germany will not
make the slightest opposition to the installation
of Malietoa or some one of the minor chiefs
not hitherto named-Tamasese having no fol-
lowing and Mataafa being utterly out of the
question from the German standpoint, the
state of war, too. still nominally existing.
They also probably urge the punishment of
Mataafa. say, by imprisonment for time on
board German man-of-war on an island un-
der the German flag. They may waive this
condition in consideration of round sum paid
to the widows and orphans the nearest rela-
lions Of the Germans slain on the island.
The third condition, equally acceptable to
each of the three powers, is that the three col
lectively guarantee the neutrality Of Samoa.

WHAT GERMANY WANTS TO SAVE.
In other words, Germany wishes to save her
stake in the islands, and it would perhaps be
the wisest policy on the part of the United
States to accept this-after all, simplest-solu-
ton OF the difficulty, and, by eli-timed conces-
sion to Germany's tender sense of honor and
solicitude for the welfare of her colonists, make
friend of her forever
Well-informed Germans assure me that Connt
Herbert Bismarck had not the slightest inten-
ton OF impressing the English speaking MEM
bers OF the conference with a sense of the
greatness of Germany at the expense of their
own feelings when he made that famous speech
in French at the beginning of the conference.
He was obliged-though he speaks English like
an Englishman-to uphold his right to use
French as the language of diplomatic inter-
course. If he had opened the conference in
English, the Spaniards, Italians, Portuguese. or
Russians might have pointed to the precedent
as a justification of their right to use their own
language. with which he might not be equally
familiar, at some future conference.

WHAT Is ENGLAND's POSITION?

While 1t Is well-known that England's lean
ings in the conference are toward Germany. on
that vexed question of the secret understand
ing concerning Tonga Sir Edward maintained
an obstinate silence. He expressed himself
however. in a very kindly manner regarding
the favorable impression produced upon him
self and others at the conference by their
American colleagues. Sir Edward (and there
is no better judge in such matters) is inclined
to think that another month will see the labors
of the conference ended. He had met Mr..
Kasson before at the Congo conference. when
both Of them were representing their respect
i've countries.
In Sir Edwards library there lies on a little
spider table near the window large folio vol
ume containing. in all the glory of gilt edges
and magnificent printing, the minutes of the
Congo conference.
CONVENIENT FOR REFERENCE.
When 1 asked Sir Edward about how often
the Samoan conference would sit he turned to
this book, and after consulting it said he be-
leved that now. as at the Congo conference
all matters Of detail would be referred to a
subcommittee. The Congo conference, he re-
marked, only sat ten times during three
months Five six or sittings, therefore, will in
all probability suffice to settle the Samoan
matter.
Nothing could have been more eminently
gracious than the manner in which Count Bis
marck received his guests at dinner the other
day in the Garter pavilion of the foreign Office,
where he makes his home. When the hour for
leave-taking came--and 1t was late one. for
Count Herbert is a host who will not be de-
nied-he walked across the large garden with
each one of the departing guests, while in the
great trees that surround the house the siren
voices of great numbers of nightingales poured
forth a volume of sweet melody to enchant
the ears of Uncle Sans republican representa-
tiyes.
SHOWING HIS CLAW.
Some people have ventured to assert that
when the emperor issued his invitations to the
Americans to attend the parade at Potsdam lie
did so with view of impressing them with a
sense Of the military power of Germany. If So.
he certainly succeeded.
Nowhere in the world" said one of the
naval officers attached to the commission. '.can

and such large masses Of men SO deity and

The Reading Room.

The Circulating Library connected
with the Reading Room has been re-
moved to the Office of the Hon. E. B.
True, in the Strahorn Block. 1t will
be open on every Saturday afternoon
and evening, from to 9 o'clock p.
m. Books can be taken from the
library to be held two weeks, upon
the payment Of ten cents volume
with the privilege of renewal if de-
sired. The library will be kept oper
in this way until the Reading Room
is opened again.
The library is small one, but b,
no means poor one; AID we hope tina
the liberal patronage which the Ii
brary shall receive, will enable it t.
be kept up to the requirements OF tn
reading public.

FROM BEYOND THE RANGE,
Tho Silver King Leading Mine-The
Storm o Welcome One.


C. J. Johnston came down from
Vienna yesterday, but returned there
to day. On the way down he passed
an lighthouse team bringing the
second load of ore this season from
the Silver King mine, above Saw
tooth. This property, Mr.. Johnston
says, is looking as finely as any mine
property in the West. 1t is owned
by the Philadelphia company.
The reported strikes in the Noun
tain King and Vienna mines, which
are owned by Mr.. Johnston and his
associates, are somewhat premature
since the Mountain King is not be.
ing worked at all, and the Vienrs
workings are not sufficiently advanced
to justify any hope Of immediate i'm
provement.
Between six and eight inches c.

A DISAPPOINTED AUDIENCE.
The Division Question Not Called Up In
Court.

The Division Question Not Called Up In
Court.
There was disappointed audience
in the District Court this morning.
1t was generally expected that when
the citizens living in the so-called
counties of Logan and Gilmore and
summoned to serve as grand jurors
were challenged, the validity of the
division bill would be called in
question then and there, or that the
discussion that would arise would
lead to such q result. But nothing
of the kind happened.
Some OF the jurors or citizens sub
pened from "Logan'' county con
fessed their residence; they were ex
cused and retired from the PANEL.
To be sure there was some little
legal fencing. For instance judge
Weir, instead of announcing peremp
torily that these persons were no
eligible aud would not be permitte'
to serve, lntimated that it was for tn
attorneys to make themselves hear
} in the matter.

Nipped In the Bud.

Is it not better to nip consumption,
the greatest scourge OF humanity, in
the bud, than to try to stay its pro-
gress on the brink of the grave? A
few doses of California's most useful
production, Santa Able, the king OF
Consumption, will relieve, and a
thorough treatment will cure. Nasal
Catarrh, too often the forerunner Of
consumption, can be cured by Califor'
MIA Cat.r-cure. These remedies are
sold and fully warranted by J. A,
Rupert, at 81. or three for $3.50.
