GERMANY'S EFFORTS
Being Bent to Bring About Friendly
Commercial Relations.

Washington, February 27-The German
government has given evidence of its pur-
pose to facilitate friendly commercial re-
lations with the United States by taking
steps to ascertain whether or not 1t Is not
possible to remove the impediments to the
operation of American insurance assocla-
tions in Germany. These corporation had
built up an enormous business in Germany
which was suddenly brought to an abrupt
termination by the application to them by
the German government of certain rules
with which it was totally impossible 20
comply. Remonstrauce proved useless, ami
although Secretary Olney made the matter
one for his special attention, the negotia-
lions came to nothing and the Insurance
companies were obliged to abandon their
interests In Germany.
Now Information has reached here that
the German government Is sending to the
United States two officials councillors of
state, Baron Won Bierbestein and Herr
Hoppe, representing the ministry of the in
terror, to confer with the heads of the three
great American insurance concerns, which
were principally interested in the subject
with a view of resumption of these COM
panies in Prussia at an early date.

light upon SHERIFF O'Brien's motives, but

1t will now be in order to appoint an ex-
aminer to ascertain why the impartial ex-
aminer failed to write down the name OF
the other party to whom money was paid
for services as assistant solicitor FOR Jef-
ferson county, when It is a well known
fact that he was rarely at the court house;

some warrant of law for paying this same

keeps it in fact from flying to pieces.
