Commission with King O'c,r as Referee.
Washington. March 31.-A Joint high
commission to settle the entire Samoan
trouble has been practically agreed up
on by the United States. British and
German governments
Lord Salisbury's absence from Lon
don alone delays the formal acceptance
by Great Britain. though In his alb.
sence Sir Thomas Sanderson and Mr.
Villiers. who are understood to be spe-
cially familiar with the Samoan ques
uon. have approved the plan for a
commission The United Suites has in
formally expressed Its approval and
the formal acceptance. II is learned
from the best quarter, will follow
speedily. AS the proposition emanates
With Germany her approval. OF course,
is assured. This high commission. 1t
Is felt, affords pacific solution OF the
whole trouble nj the moment when Sa-
moan affairs began to look the most
threatening. a -t
The new plan has been fully gone
over by Secretary Hay and British and
German ambassadors here. and its es.
sential details worked out Each ma
tion Is to have practically unlimited
authority. without the necessity of re-
ferrlng It's decisions back TO the sew
ei-il governments 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 deadlocks and
delays. Still another important pro-
vision under consideration is that King
Oscar Of Norway ana Sweden shall be
the umpire in case the three high COM
missioners should fail to reach de
termination. .tlF .N $40.

drifted by n fory-mlle wind, which

In northern Indiana the storm was
