Paris, March 2S.-David Jayne Hill, who
arrived from The Hague expressed the
greatest surprise when informed by the
Associated Press that the German gov
eminent had declined to receive him in
the capacity of American ambassador to

that this was the first intimation he had
OF tho German governments action, and
he was at a loss to understand the an
nouncement, especially because he person.
ally saw AN official communication from
the government at Washington expressing
G~ermany's satisfaction over the selection
of himself for that position.
Besides, on q recent visit to Berlin he
did not hear anything that would lead
him to believe that he was persona non
grata to the German government. NOR had
he received the Impression that the situa-
ton was different from that expressed in
the official communication ne had read.
President Roosevelt. he said, informed
him that he intended to appoint him..

DO 60 degrees below zero. and fierce blix-
yards are frequent In that district during
the winter months. Dangers Of all kinds

ney. and II history repeats itself, he will
lose at least one-third Of the mail matter
before his ash Is a over.
Cornwall will be unable to pack sufri-
cient food for the long trail. and will have
to rely on his rifle for his daily meat. The
dogs will be fed on tallow and fish.
At night the hardly mailman will erect
a canvas shelter, make tea from snow

excluded. he will creep into his sleeping
bag.

The new enterprise. (Madison, Fla.) 1901-1908, 1908-03-19

The question Of voting for
county commissioners by dis
triets Only is causing 20 end OF
confusion throughout the State
and bids fair to make trouble in
the coming primary. It was by
an act of the last legislature
that the manner of voting for
these officers was changed from
the voters of the county at
large to the voters Of each dis
trict only. In very few OF the
counties, so far as we know,
are the lines of the commission
ers districts the same as the
election district lines, and iu
Madison county this condition
obtains. Thus in the first cleo.
ton precinct some of the voters
will have to vote for commits
sioner in the fourth district, aud
we don't just exactly see how
that can be done without great
confusion. In Duval county
the executive committee, by
advice of prominent attorney,
regards the new law as uucon
stitutional and in the call for
the county primary provides
that the voters of the county at
large shall vote for one commits
sioner in each district. The
question is an important one
and should be settled with all
possible dispatch.
