Judg-e Cook, who granted theBak- ers a ehangre of venue, is likely to be killed. When the soldiers left here yesterday with Jim Baker and Wiley Baker, the Howards planned to kill them on the way, and about thirty concealed them selves on the road. The troops got wind of the affair, and before reaching the place of ambuscade trained the gatling gun on the Howards' hiding place, preventing the shooting. The Bakers were gotten safely 'to Barbours- ville and lodged in jail. The Bakers are now without a lead er, but one who nas a reputation as a fighter, may return from.

GERMANY'S REVOLT- Why Emperer William Is Not in Favor of the rbitration Plan. London, June 12. The correspondent of the Daily News at The. Hague says.: "I learn that Dr. Zorn, the German" delegate, spoke on Friday against ar bitration. When I asked him for a copy of his 'speech, I got a point blank refusal, Dr. Zorn saying: "All that I can teW you is that Fri day's sitting was extremely interesting and that I presented Germany's objec- tidns to the scheme for a permanent arbitration tribunal." Notwithstanding this I am able to send a full analysis of his speech. He spoke slowly and with difficulty in French. He asserted that he was in structed to say that Germany could not accept the principle of permanent arbitration embodied In Sir Julian Pauncefote's draft. She objected, first- iy, on principle, and, secondly, on grounds of expediency. He then proceeded to argue that it was derogatory to a monarch's sover eignty and to a nations independence. Arbitration agreed upon between two nation for a narrowly defined object was one thing, and arbitration binding a nation for the unknowable future was quite another. A king, holding his title by divine right, could not think of divesting himiself of an es sential part of his sovereignty, the right to shape the nation's course at a critical time. 1 J Emperor William, Dr., Zorn said, would not pledge himself to bow to the decisions of judges not appointed by him on oases that had not yet arisen. These were the objections of principle. The objections of expediency were on the score of expense and the possibility that the tribunal, under the rendering of iniquitious decisions, might bring the principle of arbitration into dis credit . Dr. Zorn concluded his speech amid painful silence. Sir Julian Pauncefote, replying, said he thought the objections of the Ger man delegate showed a view of state craft, wWch many might consider not altogether modern. "As to the doubts expressed regarding the fitness of the judges, I have no doubt," said Sir Jul ian, "that every state would take pride in nominating its best men." I understand that Dr. Zorn's instruc tions were sent under a misapprehen sion, as some of his objections would only apply to the older schemes super seded by the British draft. The correspondent of the Morning Post at The Hague asserts that at last Friday's meeting Dr. Zorn opposed the arbitration scheme, but adds that negotiations are proceeding between The Hague and Berlin.
