KING OSCAR AZ UMPIRE.
VIII Have Deciding yoIcs In Settling
Samoan Question.

WASHINGTON, April IA joint high
commission to settle the entire Samoan
trouble has been practically agreed
upon by the United States, British and
German governments Lord Sails
bury's absence from London alone de-
lays the formal acceptance by Great
Britain. though, In his absence, Sir
Thomas Sanderson and Mr.. Vlliers,
who are understood to be specially
familiar with the Samoan question,
have approved the plan for a commits
sion. The United States has inform
ally expressed its approval. and the
formal acceptance, IL is learned from
the highest quarters, will follow
speedily. As the proposition emanates
from Germany, her approval, OF
course, Is assured. This high COM
mission, il is felt, affords a pacific
solution to the whole trouble Mt the
moment when Samoan affairs began to
look the most threatening.
The new plan has been fully gone
over by Secretary Hay and the British
and German ambassadors here, and its
essential details worked out. Each
nation is to be represented by one
member on the commission. IL Is TO
have practically unlimited authority.
without the nece.r.ty of referring its
decisions back to the several govern
ments for approval. 1t is felt that by
comforting such complete and final
authority on the high commission, the
danger will be obviated of any further
dead ocks and delays.
Still another important provision
under consideration Is hat King Os.
car OF Norway and Sweden shall be the
umpire in case the three high commits
sioners should fail to reach a determi.
nation. The plan of inviting King
Oscar to referee a disagreement meets
the approval of the British and Ger.
pan authorities, and doubtless will bi
approved also by the United States as
n meal of insuring tinality OF decis.
ion, though it is not known just how
far this ha, been considered by the
Washington authorities.
King Oscar wa agreed upon be.
.wecn the United States and Great
Britain as "A final arbitrator In connec.
ton with the proposed Anglo-Amcri.
can arbitration treaty, as well as in
the Venezuela matter. He is also
mentioned in the treaty of Berlin as
the one TO name n chief Justice of Sa.
moa in case the three signatory pow.
ers fail to agree OF a chief justice. II
was this that led to the suggestion OF
his namc at the present time &c
act as final arbitrator. The cxpccta.
ton is that the sittings OF the com.
mission will be in Samoa, where for
the time being, they will have com.
plete authority over the whole range
of samoan affairs, so far as the high
commission may think ft to act in or.
der to fully restore order and estab.
lish affairs oa "A stable basis. 1t will
require no treaty to bring tn, com
