King Oscar of Sweden and Norway,
whose decision as arbiter of the disputes
arising out of the interference of the
United States and Great Britain in the
Samoan instruction in 1899, is in favor
of Germany, has several times before
been selected to pass judgment on in
ternational differences. He is a popular
choice for arbitrator, because of Swe-
denis freedom from entangling alliances
with other nations. 1t is announced
from Washington that King Oscars de-
cision. while it will be accepted in the
Samoan matter, will not be recognized as
making a precedent, as such a course
would involve the payment of big claims
by the United States whenever marines
are landed to protect American interests.

1t is learned at Tangier, Morocco, that
the reason the Sultan had taken such sud

murderers of Mr.. Cooper, the English
missionary who was slain recently, was
due to the fact that he had been inform

murder all the Christians in Fee, which
