BEFORE WEEK ENDS
Samoan High Commission Will Be an
Accomplished Fact.
Most Agreeable Spirit Shown by Nations
Interested In the Matter.

Washington. April 8. - Ambassadors
Won Holleben, accompanied by DIR.
Wilhelm Solf. the newly appointed pres
ident Of municipal council of Samoa,
called at the British embassy yesterday
and had an agreeable meeting with Am
basSador Pauncefote and Mr.. Elliott OF
the embassy staff
Later in the day Mr.. Pauncefote called
at the state department and had talk
with Secretary Hay. II was at once
conjectured that the ambassador came
to signify the formal acceptance by
Great Britain OF the plan of high com
mission. But this was correct only In
part.
The status OF the negotiations as given
I'm the highest official quarters, is that the
principle Of the commission is accepted
by all three powers. including Great
Britain, but that the British govern
ment withholds formal approval OF the
commission itself until all the details OF
it's authority are determined This, IL is
explained is in no sense delay OF ac-
ceptance, for no one government has
offered something which the others
must accept or reject. Instead OF that,
all three are moving forward i'm the most
agreeable spirit toward a common un-
derstanding. each making its sugges
tions fol the betterment Of the plan, and
no one laying down certain limitations
which the others must accept at once.
Baron Won Buelow, the German min>
lister OF foreign affairs. has returned TO
Berlin for the express purpose OF meet
ing the British am SsadOr there and
clearing up such details as Lord Sails
bury wishes 10 have settled in advance.
Those in Washington who are in the best
position TO judge the progress Of these
negotiations say there is every indica-
tion that they will be satisfactorily
closed before the present week ends. and
that the high commission will be an ac-
eomplished fact by that time.

ence of gellatinc, but careful tests had
failed to develop either boraic or sally

the Wilson Packing company (Which
were corned) showed the presence Of
salt or saltpetre. Some of the meats
were red. giving rise TO the suspicion
that they might have been colored by
an analine dye as i'm the case of saus-

show that such was the case. It was
made evident that the meat was boil
ed rather than roasted.
II was arranged that Mr.. Chittenden
