AGREEMENT
To Consolidate Injunction Cases
In Contest For Governor.
Trial Begins Before Judge Field at
Louisville, on Tuesday Next
The Contract Signed.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 2l,--The
attorneys representing Gov. Beck
ham and Mr. Taylor in the injunc-
tion suits over the office of Governor
late this afternoon came to an agree
ment and signed their names there
to. BY this agreement the injunc-
tion suits fled at Georgetown and
Louisville are to be consolidated and

speedy hearing, and if there is an
appeal the parties to the SUIT will
ask for an early hearing.
All parties agree to abide by the
decisions and orders of the courts
unless stayed by regular proceed
ings. This means that there will
be no defiance of the courts, and
and that whichever party wins will
have undisputed possession of the
othce OF Governor.
The conference between the Dem
ocrats began this morning and
lasted until 5 p. M, when Mr.. Lew
is McQuown, the chief counsel, and
Mr.. John K. Hendrick went into
conference with Mr.. Helm Bruce
and Judge w. H. Yost, representing
the Republicans.
It is thought that it will take
from two to three weeks to get de-
cisions from the Circuit Court and
the Court of Appeals, Until there
is some order of court, Taylor will
hold on, though there is no agree
ment of that sort. The Democrats
feel confident that in less than three
weeks, or early in March, Gov.
Beckham will be installed in the
Executive building.

MODERN MEANING OF GUN.
The word Is More often Applied ia
the Great Engines
of Death.

1.-THE evolution of the word gum
forms an interesting study in up-to-
date etymology," remarked one of
party Of newspaper men, says the New
Orleans Times Democrat. "A dozen or
so years ago we all understood gun to
mean fowling piece-a shotgun as dis
tinguished from rifle or musket.
Heavy and light ordnance, in faoc. all
pieces of artillery, without regard TO
size, were known as cannon. That, of
course, was where people made an ef-
fort to speak English. Out in the
frontier the word gun was applied ex-
clusively to pistols.
Nowadays the nomenclature has
curiously changed. BY degrees the
good old word gun has become monop-
olzed by the long, slim, murderous ma
chimes that constitute our modern ar
tillery. We speak of quick-tire guns,
eight-mch, ten-inch, twelve-inch guns,
and the word seems singularIy apropos.
They are not cannon. Cannon imme-
dately suggests the big, numbering,
black-throated, smooth-bores of the
past. The word conjures up all sorts of

At this rate one acre of land in orange trees five years old will produce an income of $625.

PHoENIX, ARIZONA, DECEMBER 5, 1900.

These suggestions that the czars ill- ness is of a deadly character have been more and more insistent of late
 It is known. however, that they are traceable in large part to the various stock exchanges of Europe, where the condition of royal personag ges is Ob- served from day to day as closely as the changes in the weather or the shift ings of the political scenes. The czar's death would undoubtedly be the signal for a decided bear movement in every market. It is already anticipated as a possibility inimical to peace. and the bourses show consequent fluctuations. Late dispatches fronl Livadia, where the czar lies ill, explain the repeated reports of his death by the fact that it has become a practice of the brokers on the bear side of the market to de- .Sberately circulate this falsehood at the opening of the market each morn ing, in order to give stocks down. ward tendency early in the day.

American manufacturers who are seeking new markets in Europe will be
 interested in a project AMERICAN of trade extension de-
 SAMPLES scribed in a report re
 ABROAD. gently transmitted to
 the state department by MT. A. Lieberknecht, United States consul at Zurich, Switzerland. It is a plan which, if intelligently executed. would in all Likelihood greatly enlarge Swiss markets.
 MT. Lieberknecht states that MT. w. A. Steinmann, a native Of Switzerland, who has spent six or seven years in the United States, and who conducts an extensive wholesale establishment at Zurich, will, after next May, devote several large rooms to a display of samples of American goods. MT. Steinmann has 5000 customers in his own business. He has nine travelling men who visit every part of SwitZer- land, and he is confident that with a permanent exhibition of American samples he can, to use his own words, 'Fbuild up a business worth having" |" He will undertake to introduce Amer ican manufactures into Swiss markets, to. advertise them in the most effective way, and to receive orders for trans mission to this country.
 The business, he adds, will be con ducted on a commission basis, and he states that manufacturers will have to ship their goods to the buyers with dd- rect invoice. He points out that if the Americans want to develop an exten- sive trade in Switzerland they will have to grant a credit of three or six months, as European manufacturers do so and the practice has become custom of the country. MT. Steinmann stipulates that manufacturers sending samples to him shall recognize him as their sole agent in Switzerland, and on that condition he will agree to dis play all salable articles, preferably
  of all descriptions, etc.
 This plan is thoroughly practical, and Consul Lieberknecht pronounces it 'fthe only proper way to introduce and sell goods in Switzerland" He says the writing of letters and the distribu- tion of circulars is useless in foreign trade, but "an agent understanding the business habits of the people and the kind of goods desired must be on the ground in person, not only for a day or two, but all the year round" With a representative display of samples such as MT. Steinmann proposes, our man. ufacturers would be enabled to reach a large class of buyers who now pur- chase all their stocks in Europe, and as Zurich is the commercial center of Switzerland, they could in this way greatly increase their trade in the mar kets of that country.
