Washington, April 1.-The new proposal
referred to in the Berlin dispatch as hav-
ing been accepted by all three govern
ments, is that for joint high commits
sion. that being the only proposition now
pending.
Ambassador Whites call on the German
foreign office was doubtless to express the
favorable view which this government
takes of the proposed settlement. The Brit
ish government has not signihed its formal
acceptance up to noon today. although
in the absence Of Lord Salisbury the act
ing officials OF the foreign office take such
a favorable view that British acceptance
is considered assured. The British charac-
teristc of mature elaboration is asserting
itself, however, and for this reason It is
thought that final acceptance may be de-
ferred for some days.
1t was remarked today in a high 6iplo-
matte quarter that there was no need OF
hurry in the matter, now that the three
governments had shown a disposition to
get together as II would take almost three
months for the high commission TO assem-

THE SAMOAN INCIDENT.
GENERALLY Believed that an Understanding
Has Been Reached.
GERMAN SENTIMENT IS CONSERVATIVE
The semi-cfacial Press Looks on the
Question as Too Trivial for
"A Quarrel.

Berlin, April THE correspondent here
of the Associated Press learns authorlta-
lively that after the acting minister Of for
eign affairs, Baron Won Richthoffen. has
been closeted with tho emperor today. the
United States ambassador, Mr.. Andrew ID.
White, passed an hour with the for
eign office.
1t is generally believed that an under
standing has been reached which is likely
to bring about an amicable and satisfactory
solution OF the whole Samoa difficulty.
1t is understood that while the United
States and Great Britain have steadily de-
clined 10 accept Germans two previous
proposals, new one hav been accented
by all three powers.
According to high German official. the
American explanations have been found
satisfactory and the accepted proposal
consists in sending commission of inves-
tigation TO Samoa"
emi-offcial note published this af-
ternoon says. THE German proposal to
dispatch to Samoa a high commission con-
sistine of special plenipotentiary from
each power Is regarded by the American
government as being suitable to the pur-
pose in view. President Mckinley. through
the ambassador, expressed surprise and
deep regret when he heard the news OF the
collision at Aria and the American repre-
sentative at Samoa was instructed to take
every care to preserve the status quo with
out future conflict"
The semi-offleial Post comments on the
Samoan situation as follows: The question
is too trivial to lead to great difficulties,
and especially as America and particularly
England have no reason at present TO irri-
tate Germany, quite apart from the fact
that such irritation would lead to serious
consequences"

TURNPIKE CASE IN COURT AGAIN.

Sooner or later Madison may have to
deal with the turnpike question in a
decisive manner, hence the outcome OF
the case from Boyle is being watched
with interest, inasmuch as the Court Of
Appeals has granted rehearing in the
case of the Town Of Danville VS.. The
Boyle Fiscal Court.
This suit, it will be remembered, was
fled by the town in order to determine
whether or not it was the duty of the
county to keep in repair those portions
of the freed turupikes running into the
city.
Judge Sanfiey ruled that the courts
could not compel the county to do any
thing with the roads, and tho town car
ried the case to the Court of Appeals
The higher court sustained Judge Sauf.
ley, but handed down no opinion in the
case. City Attorney Fox then asked
for a rehearing which was granted and
arguments called for.
The Advocate says that County At
torney Harding and City Attorney Fox
will argue the case before the court a
Frankfort at its April term. The APP
pellAie judges are said to be divided il
their opinions in the matter.

PULLED ITS FEET OFF.

The Winchester Sun tells thus of
terrible accident to horse:
"Will Gay, wealthy farmer living a
few miles north of this city, last Thurs
day, while attending to some farm
matters, left his horse hitched to fork
ed tree that divided to the ground. Tie
horse became restless and by rearing up
both fore feet became lodged In the fork
OF the tree. In its efforts to eItricate
itself, its feet became the more securely
wedged down in the fork and the horse
fell and lay upon the ground.
"There seemed but one way to release
the horse from its dreadful position. So
the cutting down of one prong of the
tree was at once begun. While this was
being done the horse made desperate
effort to free its feet from the tree and
succeeded in doing SO by pulling both
OF its feet off at the hook johns. 1t then
arose and in its dreadful suffering fran
tically ran about the field for some
time sticking its club legs deep into the
soft ground before it could be caught
and killed"

Remarkably Old Coins.

Mr.. John o. Brooks, OF Union City.
takes the rag Off the bush with his col
lection of old U. S. coins, as follows
Half-dollars, 1895, 1910. 1919, 1924,
1880, 1886. Copper cents 1925 and 1916.
Every one of the coins is in perfect con-
dition, dates plain, and every one genu.
inc. The 1895 half dollar is different
from the others in that it has fifteen
stars instead of the usual thirteen, il
has the denomination FIFTY Gents
and Half a Dollar" printed only on the
rim, and the face of Liberty is reversed
from those of the other coins. This
rare old piece was purchased for sixty
cents from a colored man who found
it about two years ago on the Rodes
place, now occupied by Col. Caperton
Mr.. Brooks also has an old Spanish
coin, date unknown, with bust o.

coins or is Numismatist let him cor

CUR CANDIDATE.
winchester Democrat, ,

Clark county presents in the person OF
Judge Caleb Breckenridge Hill clndi-
date for one Of the most important Off
ces which the Democratic State Conven-
ton will have at its disposal. Judge
Hill moved to this city from Beattyville
about two years ago; was elected Chief
Clerk of the last Kentucky Legislature
by very flattering vote, receiving in
the Democratic caucus more votes than
both his opponents. He discharged the
duties of that important office so eff
ciently that prominent Democrats from
all over the State urged him to offer foI
Secretary of State. Yielding tosuch re-
quests, desiring to serve his party in
that capacity. believing that the Tenth
Congressional District should be repre-
sented on the State ticket, and feeling
that he could go into the convention
with hearty support from this district,
he announced his candidacy for that
important Office. He Is especially fitted
for the position, and il nominated will
add strength TO the ticket.
He has been Clerk of the Lee County
Court, and was elected Judge of thai
county when he had to meet and over
come a Republican majority OF nearly
two hundred. He is an educated gen.
tleman and an accomplished speaker.
He fell into working harness in this
county last fall, making as many
speeches for Fitzpatrick as any other
man in the county. His interest should
not be overlooked. Gen. Hardin has
devoted friends in this county; Captain
Stone has earnest supporters, and Sem
ator Goebel's friends, while not so nu-
merous, are no less loyal to him, and
we earnestly appeal to the friends Of
each OF these gentlemen to remember
Hill, and not let his chances for the
nomination be endangered by the con-
duct of the Democrats Of this county, Of
whom he is one.
Mr.. Scott, the candidate for Attorney
General who spoke at the Court House
last Monday, generously recognizing
the courtesy that was due Mr.. Hill
stated that because of Mr.. Hills candi.
dacy he would not ask nor expect the
delegates from this county to be in.
structed for Attorney General. Mr.. Hill
is the only candidate from the Tenth
Congressional District, which gives him
a splendid chance to secure the nomi
nation if his friends are prudent in theil
conduct.

CRUSADE AGAINST INSURANCE COMPANIES.
lLeIington Herald.l

There is perhaps no merchant who
could transact business without taking
out insurance upon his stock; he could
not obtain credit from Eastern sellers
If he did not carry sufficient insurance
in solvent companies. Nor could money
be borrowed upon mortgage if the mort
eager did not insure the mortgaged
property. II all the counties enter into
this crusade against the solvent COM
panies who have formed these boards
to secure stable, equal and profitable
rates, and similar verdicts are returned
by the juries and, the sentences are af-
firmed by the Court Of Appeals, it must
result in the Withdrawal OF these COM
panies from the State or from these
counties which desire to drive them
out of their limits. The fines imposed
in franklin Scott and WoodiOrd amount
to largely over $4,000. This sum must
be paid-if the Court of Appeals afirms
these judgnents-out OF premiums; for
this is the only source from which the
companies derive income, and must in
the end be paid by the insured. All
judgments against corporations which
10 business dependant upon public
uses are in the end paid by those who
need and use the facilities furnished by
such corporations. The enormous judg
ments found Against railroad and trans
portaiion companies are paid by the
passengers and shippers who use the
instrumentalities Of transportation fur
nished by the companies; and their
chief effect is to raise and maintain
higher rates for passenger and freight
traffic, or the facilities for freight and
passenger transportation are lesser ed
and made slower, meaner and more in
convenient. The companies merely
advance the money and then recOup by
charging higher rates, decreasing wages
and furnishing cheaper facilities.
The position taken in this district by
Col. Allen, and the fact that two grand
juries have met and adjourned without
action since the verdict in the Franklin
court have been approved, are of inesti
mable advantage to the business inter
est of Lexington. Col. Allen is clearly
right when he declares that he will not
take steps to prosecute unless the rates
are exhOrbitant and unreasonable, and
when they become so he ought to pros
ecu.e.
'This is the true ground to take, if
the rates be reasonable the companies
ought to be protected and encouraged
if the rates be exhorbitant and unreas-
enable they ought to be punished.
