The latest invention of considerable
merit is the Flying Top" invented
by Western boy. 1t is SO easy to
operate, that boy six years of age can
manage it without any difficulty. The
top is constructed on the principle of a
flying machine and by simply pulling
a cord, ascends from so to 800 feet, or,
until its momentum ceases. when it
gradually descends like parachute,
still spinning when it strikes the
ground.

LORD SALISBURY
ACCEPTS THE PLAN
Agrees TO the Principle of Germany's
Proposal for a COmmission-Mc-
KinIey'S Man Not Sc etted.

WASHINGTON. April 4-Lord Sails
bury has accepted the plan proposed by
Germamny for the settlement OF the sa-
moan trouble by the appointment OF a
tripartiue commission. The acceptance
is Of the broad principle only, and the
details of the arrangement are yet to
be agreed upon. AS the United States
has already accepted the general propo-
stion there is no longer doubt as TO the
organization OF the commission.
lt is not believed here that there will
be any difficulty in arranging the details
of the commission plan for the settlement
of the Samoan trouble arising from the
reluctance on the part of the British
government 10 throw aside the Berlin
treaty. The State Department does not
expect that II will be necessary TO go far
outside the lines Of that convention to
secure a satisfactory adjustment of the
present difficulties. As there appears to
be an apprehension that the proposed
commission may not be limited I'm its
functions sufficiently TO meet the British
ideas. IL may be said that the plan In con-
temptation safeguards all essential points.

that whatever the commission does In

OF the three governments. party TO the

be expected 20 frame a scheme for sub
mission TO and approval by each OF the
three Powers for the future government
OF the islands. involving perhaps some
more or less radical changes In the orisi-
nal Berlin treaty. Neither OF the three
governments therefore chances the loss

projected for next Friday night.
WHAT THE TROUBLE is.
The facts in the case seem to be these:
