A TRIUMPH OF DIPLOMACY.
satisfactory and Peaceful ADJUST
ment of Samoan Affairs Com
6dently Looked for.

Washington, April 3.-The opinion is
expressed i'll official circles here that
the, outlook for satisfactory and
peaceful final adjustment of Samoan
affairs is decidedly hopeful. The state
ment was made yesterday in well-in
formed quarter that it is altogether
likely that the joint high commission,
by virtue of the plenary powers vest
ed in it's individual members, will be
able to conclude a settlement of the
Samoan question satisfactory to all the
powers concerned and that there is
such an understanding between the
three powers as almost certainly will
prevent any disagreement, such as
would make it necessary to ask King
Oscar of Sweden and Norway to act as
umpire. The peaceful solution of this
delicate question, full of possibilities
of serious trouble, is regarded as a
triumph of diplomacy, and as furnish
ing the strongest kind of evidence of
a desire on the part of Germany as well
as of the other two powers to maintain
the most amicable relations one with
the other.

INSTITUTED IN GOOD FAITH.
Atty.-Gen. Davis of Arkansas Talks
About His Suits Against the
Insurance Companies.

Little Rock, Ark, April 2-Atty.-
Gen. Davis, in reference to the suits
against the insurance companies
brought by him, makes the following
statement:
These suits have been instituted in
good faith. whether the law is repealed
OF not. 1t is not only the fire in
surance companies that | am after, I'M
der the law, but many others. l
waited to see whether the legislature
would change the law, and it was not
until | saw the temper of the house
that the proceedings were begun in
the courts. These suits are to test the
law, and the Legislature ought to play
hands off. They were brought in
downright earnest. If any of them
think it is bluff. we will take a tilt
at them for each day they have been
doing business since the act became
effective. They are in violation of the
law for every day they have transacted
business since then. l don't want to be
captions, but if the insurance COM
panies can't do business here without
belonging to combinations, the sooner
they quit the better. l don't think a
single syllable of the law will be
changed. 1t is a good law, and l
think it ought to stand. 1t is pat
termed very much after the Kentucky
law. If my construction of this law is
not right. the courts will settle it.
These suits can not be tried until the
next term of the Pulaski circuit court,
in September. Meanwhile | will get
the proof.

CUBAN COURTS ARE CORRUPT.
GOvernOr-GeneraI Brooke VIII Take
the Matter of Their Purifica-
tiOn i'm Hand.

Havana. April 3.-To-day, as under
Spanish regime, bribery and fraud rule
the Cuban courts. Thisis the firm con-
yiction of the military administration.
GCvernorGeneral Brooke is taking the
matter up and intends to clean out the
corruption, to revise the judicial pro-
cedure, to change the court personnel
and to abolish the barbarous practice
of incommunicado, by which a judge
may imprison for life a person ignorant
of the accusation against him and Of
the names of his accusers.
1t is true that the statutes allow
only three days detention incommuni-
c&do, but a judge, under the practice
that has grown up. may make a new
commitment at the expiration of the
third day: another at the expiration
of the sixth and so on without limit.
More than this, the evidence in GRIM
inal causes is taken by clerks. who, for
a consideration. write into the testi-
mony things never uttered. thus often
making the best friends of the accused
appear to condemn him. Apparently
the whole criminal and civil systems
have been arranged so as TO make it
easy to buy and sell justice.

An Evidence of ProspcrIty.

1t is generally conceded by economists.
who study the commercial situation of the
country, that the great arteries Of railway
travel are a sure indication of its condition.
depression in commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cdncella-
tion of pleasure travel, while a healthy con-
dltion of affairs means business trips and an
increase of passengers on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the

sleeper on the trains leaving New York and
Chicago Tuesdays. Thursdays and Satur-

ments and comforts of this train are well
known, but if You have never made a trip

LYNCHED A POSTMASTER.
Uncle Sam Purposes to Test His
Standing Among South Caro-
lima Citizens.
CITIZENS OF LAKE CITY TO Be TRIED.
They are Charged with Participa-
tiOn In the Murder of Frazer ID,
Baker. Postmaster at That Place.
After Having Organized for That
Express Purpose.

Charleston, S. c., April Fifteen
will be put on trial here in the United
States circuit court, next week, to an
swer the charge of having lynced Post
master Frazer B. Baker, more than a
year ago. Besides killing the post-
master, who was negro. the alleged
lynchers will have to answer for kill
ing Bakers infant child and for burn
ing the Lake City post Office with all
is effects.
Other Arrests to he Made.
1t is said here that other arrests
will be made before the case is taken
up. The Indictment will go to the
grand jury, and the hearing will be-
gin at once. Eighty witnesses for the
government have been summoned, and
there is a great array of witnesses fol
the defense.
First Time on Record.
This is the first time on record that
the federal government has come into
the south to take up a lynching trial.
The murder of Baker was probably the
most brutal crime known in the his
tory of the stae. Baker was appoint
ed postmaster at Lake City, and be-
fore he took charge of the office he
was warned to keep away. He re-
fused, and an attempt was made to
kill him soon after his commission
was received. This failed, and then
regular band was organized to put
him out of the way.
Names of the Defendants.
The defendants in this celebrated
case are: Ezra Mcknight, W. y. Web

ness men from the Lake City section.
Marion Clark was formerly the editor
OF a newspaper in that town. Stokes
was a deputy United States marshal
in Georgia some years ago, and the
other prisoners are merchants and
farmers.
Organized for the Purpose.
According to the testimony given at
the preliminary hearing by Newham
and Lee, who turned states evidence,
the Lake City band of lynchers was or
g"niZed for the special purpose of kill
ing Baker. The negro had refused to
leave town and give up the Office. The
white people rebelled at the idea of a

THE NEW METHOD OF
BLOOD PURIFYING.
What the New Discovery in Medical
Science Has Accomplished.
The Prompt Way to Cure Yourself Show Ta
Blood Is OF
THE EMINENT SPECIALISTS FREE OFFER TO ALL
READERS OF THIS PAPER.

For great many years it has been
the custom for sick people to say: ''My
blood is out of order. 1t needs purify
ing. feel all used up. My skin needs
clearing. My brain feels tired"
They are right, but do they act right ?
They generally go and get laxative
(bowel cleaner) to purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
Science has to-day furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood
needs, in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by your kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys every three min
utes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities of the blood-thatist is their work.
Purifying your blood is not a ques-
tion of taking laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are already
in your blood, causing your present
sickness 1t Leaces there
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your kid
neys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name of your dis
ease is. the first thing you should do is
to afford aid 10 your kidneys by using
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford
natural help to nature, for Swamp-Root

ABOUT THE SAMOAN ISLANDS.
Position, Area and POpuiatiOn-0rl~
gin and ProductiOns-Im-
ports and Exports.

Washington, April 3.-The people,
productions and commercial and
strategic Importance of the Samoan
islands are discussed in a publication
just issued by the treasury bureau OF
statistics.
AS CcaIing and Repairing stations.
The islands lie in an almost direct
line between San Francisco and Aus
tralia, and slightly south of the direct
steamship line connecting the Philip
pines with the proposed Panama or
Nicaraguan interoceanic canals. Their
special Importance, therefore, it is
stated, lies more in their position as
coaling and repairing stations on these
great highways of commerce rather
than in their direct commercial value,
their population being small and their
imports and exports of comparatively
little Importance.
Area and Population.
The group consists of ten inhabited
and two uninhabited islands, with an
area of 1000 square miles and an ag
gregate population, according to latest
estimates, of $4,000 people, of which
over 200 are British subjects, 125 Ger
mans, 25 Americans, 25 French and 25
of other nationa1ities, while the re-
mainder are natives of the Polynesian
race.
The bulk of the population is located
in the three islands of Upolou, Savaii
and Tutuila; the number in Upolou
being $4,000, in Savaii $4,000, and in
1utuila, which contains the harbor Of
Pago Pago, ceded to the United States
in 1878 for a naval coaling station, 81
700.
Origin and Productions.
The islands are of volcanic origin,
but fertile, producing cocoanuts, cot
ton, sugar and coffee; the most i'm
portant, however, being cocoanuts,
from which the "copra' of commerce
is obtained by drying the kernel of the
cocoanut. The expectation of copra
from the islands in 1896 amounted to
1866, 900 pounds, valued at 1921 ,372. A
considerable proportion of this was ex-
ported to the United States and larg-
er proportion to Germany, whose citi-
zcns control its commerce through

been established there.
