GERMANY THREATENS HAYTI.
Grave Complications Arise Over 4
Financial Transaction,

Relations between the governments
pr Hayti and Germany are strained
owing to the refusal of the German
bankers, Hermann g. Co., by direction
of the court at Port au Prince to re-
turn to the Haytian government large
sums OF money alleged to have been
obtained fraudulently. Among the al
legged transactions of Hermann G. Co
was one said to have proved favorable
to the government. This was conclud-
ed by the Haytian minister of finance.
the German legation demanded that
this transaction, as we'll as others, be
annulled, but the Haytian government
In terms that the German minister
deemed offensive refused to acquiesce
The German minister at the same time
demanded the withdrawal of the
phrase objected to. This was also
refused. Fears are entertained here
of grave complications ensuing.
The Official Monitor recently pub
lished notice Of the expulsion Of Mr..
Mansour, an American citizen, but
Mr.. Furniss, the American minister,
believing the call for the mans expul-
sion unjustified, asked for the with
drawal of the order This, however
was refused and Mansour has left for
New York. The seal Of the American
legation has been placed on his shop

HOLDS FENCE LAW VOID.
Attorney General Clark Holds Law Is
Unconstitutional.

Attorney General Clark has, in re-
Spouse to request from Lyman coun-
ty, held that in his opinion the fence
law, which is in operation west Of the
Missouri river, is unconstitutional and
will not stand a test case. His hold
ing is in effect that the only way such
law could possibly be effective would
be to make it statewide and county OPP
tional. If any county voted for the
fence law then it would be legal, 9TH
erwise it would not; and that legally
the herd law is just as much in force
west of the Missouri river as it is east
Of that stream.
