Why Germany Put an Em bargo on Our Cattle. FEEIHKER VON JUMMERSTEIN. Our Correspondent Baya It Waa to Io Something for tho Agrarian Party In tho lt.loli.lng- What a High-Tariff Uon.ervallve Uaa to Say. Bkulin, January 8, Secretary Grot' ham'a etatetnent aa to the American sugar tariff and treaty obligations has seen discussed widely since the arrival o( the last United States mail. Among the Deputies, as among the editors, the one opinion is that the United States ought not to enforce a discriminating sugar tax against Germany. Many de plored that the American Representa tives in Washington regard Germany's prohibition o( American cattle as a re taliatory measure. They say it is mere ly sanitary. To bolster this argument the government published in the Jiord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung yesterday a paragraph that lielgiutn a decree against American cattle showed how justifiable Germany's action was from a sanitary point of view, A press corre spondent has interviewed in the last week several conspicuous politicians, rreinerr von ilammerstein, the leading agitator among me lilgn-tartn Uonserva lives, has this to sav : i cannot understand why Americans raise such an outcry about German re taliation. There ia no such thing, al though Germany ia justly entitled to re taliate, if so inclined. The American dill'erential duty on German sugar cer tainly is asullicientcauselor ratullation. and there can be no donbt of it since Secretary Greshatn himself admits that Germany has been unfairly treated by the United tjtates. Germany has been obliged to prohibit imports of American cattle owing to the discovery of Texas fever among them, i tie existence of the disease waa bevond the slightest doubt. ven if Congress had not passed the sugar clause, the prohibition would been issued and maintained, xne question is absolutely Independent of the sugar tax." Finally the agragrian leader admitted that America's treatment of German sugar was perhaps not altogether unwel come to Yon Hammerstein Loxten, Miu- 18ler 01 Agriculture, wno haa now a chance to do something for the agrari- .a, Tki ..Wi.ainn Iks L.,n.l t the whole question.

LIVING HUMAN DYNAMO. Wouderful Electrical Powers of a Young Ulrl Iu Miaaonrl. Skdalia, Mo., January 8. Jennie Moran is an illiterate country girl living on a small farm eight miles from Se dalia, who appears to possess wonderful electrical powers, which manifested themselves for the first time about six months ago. One of the girl's many wonderful powers is Ilia tot illuminating a room by her presence. This she can do or not do, just as she chooses. The most marvelous thing, however, of the leat is that human eyes have not yet been able to see where the light comes from. On entering a dark room it is at once aa light as day, if she wills, but when she goes out the light is extin guished. While she is producing the phenomena nobody dares to touch her on penalty of death. She seems to be charged with all the electrical bolts of a lire wire. A cat was Dicked ud bv the girl wluie charged and was killed. In fact, she is admitted to be an actual liv ing human dynamo. Even during or dinary times, when she is as near the normal as she ever gets, terrific shocks are experienced by those who take hold of her hands. Henry J, Ashcroft, who was investigating the case, endeavored to undergo the torments of the girl's powers, out at the end ol a lew seconds was unconscious. LABOR TROUBLE. White Men Refuse a Reduction, and Ne groes Are 1 in ported. Makshfiklp, Or., January 8. Labor troubles have broken out anew in Coos county, and the termination of the pres ent condition of affairs is a subject now being thoroughly discussed by almost every citizen of this county. Last month the Beaver Hill Coal Company had fifty negroes, some of them with families, imported from West Virginia to operate the mines. The white force on the eve of tlie arrival of the negroes waa reduced in pay to 45 cents per ton, and coneo- 3uently quit. The arrival of the negroes isclosed the fact that they were very mncn disappointed ana sain the compa ny's agent grossly misrepresented the facts. Only a few of them have gone to work, and they are disgusted. A portion ioi mem nave siarieu on ineir return home, and the roal miners at Libby have subscribed a large sum of money to send the women and men, who are in desti- wte circumstances, back home. A sub- script ion list is also being circulated in erally reported here to-day that the coal Anmtuinii riaa A'tmws.m nUA 4- Cut. He to brin? in another ronsignment of IucKr"!-. iniwniie miners at i.iDnysre paid 75 cents per ton for mining coal. London Htoeh Market. London, January 8. The review of the year at the Stock Exchange shot that on the whole, with ths exception ol the values of securities of defaulting South American governments and American railway securities. Driers dis tinctly advanced. The latest prices were generally the highest of the year. Dur ing Ibe week tbe markets were fairly nooyani ana active, ins fans settle ment caused heavy realizations in the mining market and a consequent de cline in values, but the inactivity was unimpaired. Argentine securities were depressed. No rescue of tlie market for American securities from tbe existing stagnation is looked for nntil the cur rency problem is solved. It is believed, however, that tbe coming year will show an improvement. Central Pacific de clined V Small and fractional de clines were made in ths others. ALL INDICATES PEACE. loth Chlua and Japan Want lb War Kud.d at Oiicii. Sam Fbancihco, January 8, The steamship China arrived to-day from Yokohama, bringing the following Tokio advices up to December 21 : All trustwoithy signs now point to speedy peace. Events have marched with great rapidity in the last two weeks, The Chinese hopes of resistance have broken down, and a formal offer of di rect negotiation has been made. Some time ago the Japanese government con sen ted to receive communications -ten dered by China through the agencies of the American legations in Peking and Tokio, and Ministers Dnn and Denby have since served as mediums for con veying the views of the contending par ties, utile progress was made until alter the rapture of Port Arthur, when the Chinese at last appeared to realize the necessity lor immediate action, and they declared their readiness to appoint representative of antllcient rank and to invest him with full powers from the central government. The choice of an appropriate place of meeting remains to De considered. The Chinese nave desig nated one of their own ports, Shanghai, a desirable rendezvous, but to this Japan will not ronsent. Considerable time has been lost in discussing the lo cality, but the movement toward peace is proceeding, however, in apparently good faith on the Chinese sido and with sincerity on the Japanese side. The' Japanese Ministers are thoroughly aware that the interests ol their country would be most worthily served by bringing the war to an end with the least possible de lay. The task before them is not an easy one, for the strong and active mili tary class is bent upon further conquest on a large scale and the publio feeling is all in favor of indicting additional pun ishment on the enemy and dictating in ordinate terms of settlement. Until the proper occasion for proclaiming an ar mistice presents itself the military op erations will continue with unabated vigor. Japan will not be tempted to re lax her aggressive energy, nor will she be diplomatically maneuvered outof any of the advantages she holds. General Yamagata has returned from Manchuria, leaving the command of the first army to Lieutenant-General Norlzu. ana is now in attendance upon the Mn peror at Hiroshima. Although undoubt edly suffering from illness, it is believed that the main purpose of his recall was to secure his influence in restraining the intemperate ardor of the mtlita'y tac tion and facilitating the arrangements for an early restoration of peace. What is known as the strong foreign policy party in Japan commands a ma jority of votes in the Lower HouBeof the Diet, snd are the government's oppo nents. These men stand in the way of a moderate settlement of the quarref be tween their country and China. Their organs advocate nothing less than the absorption of Manchuria, the Liao Tung Peninsula and Formosa into the Japan ese Empire and the exaction of a heavy indemnity Irom China. They talk largely of Japan's rising to the level of her des tiny: of her responsibility to build some new edifice of administration on the ru ins of the dynasty she is about to pull down, and of the' folly of abandoning to Western aggression fruits of her hardly won successes. It is scarcely possible that any terms of peace acceptable by China will satisfy these politicians. But the government will not be guided by them. It will make such compromise as snau vindicate Japan's moderation with' out sacrificing her titles. COURTS APPEALED TO. Kate Vhaae Hprague Wants to be Pro teeled from Her Credltora. Washington, January 8. Kate Chase Sprague, daughter of the late Chief Jus tice Salmon P. Chuse, whose pecuniary difficulties were recently made public, has brought suit in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia for an in junction to restrain the several persons interested from proceeding with the sale of her personal effects at auction under deeds ol trust given by her to secuie ad vances of money. In the complaint filed Mrs. Hprague alleges that she was the victim of usurious practices bv the per sons from whom she obtained the money, She declares that she does not know bow much she received from them, but says that they charge her with having bor rowed larger sums than she ever received, Being unable to meet the obligations as they became due, the trustees under the mortgages removed against her protest a portion of the pictures and furniture from her historic home, " Edge wood," to the auction warehouse and advertised them to be sold. Bhe further says that she has been notined that they Intend to take the remainder of her effects to morrow, and it is to prevent such a pro ceeding that she asks for an injunction. She also prays for an accounting with the holders of notes against her under the direction ol the court. Articles cov ered by the mortgages include family pictures and relics brought from all parts of the world and a marble bust of her father. THE NICARAGUAN CANAL. British Capital la Said to be Ready to Complete the Work. New Orleans, January 8. Colonel 8, C. Braid, late Consul of the United States to Greytown, said yesterday : " I am informed that a syndicate of British capitalists have agreed with Mr. Bartlett, a member of the Nicarsguan Canal Company, as reorganized, to sub scribe large capital, which will enable the company to continue the work of construction, in rase Congress should not pass a resolution to foster the work. It is probable that capitalists along the Pacific Coast would subscribe the bal ance. Jhe task of finishing the Mca raguan canal is simple, bnt herculean." " suppose that tbe United Hstmi does nothing toward the assistance of the ca nal company; what will the company do?" " It will orabablv be forced at once to take the proffered subscription of the Entriish syndicate, and thns threat Rrit- ain would get a hold just as she did in the Suez canal." The Kxpli r -ra Traced. Lokdos, January 8. The Central News Agency's correspondent in Shanghai says that the French explorers, Grenard and Pbins, who have been missing some two months, have been traced. Phins wss murdered by the Chinese after leaving Li Ilassa, the capital of Thibit. Grenard was arrested by a rebel officer, and was started for Peiling. December 10 he passed through Tai Ynen, a province of Shan See. Slay Baceleghara Dead. LoctsviLLg, Ky., January 8. May Buckingham, 32 years of age, a member of the "Fast Mail" Company, died at the Louisville Hotel yesterday afternoon. Her husband was Harry Buckingham, a burlesque artist, who was burned to death seven weeks ago. NOW IT IS AUSTRIA Makes a Formal Protest Against we Sugar Differential. DISCRIMINATION IS CLAIMED So Fat No Threat of Retaliation Has Ae eeakiianled the I'roteat, Hut It Will Ceftetnljr.rollow-Au.trla Clalma We Uata Violated Commercial Treaty WAaitmoToN, January 7. The tariff war between the United States and Eu rope feached an acute phase to-day. The first official act of Herr Henglemol ler, now Austrian Minister, was the lodgment of a protest against that para. graph in the sugar schedule act which imposes an additional duty of one-tenth of one cent on sugar coming into the United .States from countries which pay an export bounty on it. This action waa taken to-day. Tlie ground taken by the Minister is similar to that which formed the basis of the protest of Germany that the additional duty paid discrimi nates against Austria, and consequently is a violation of the treaty of commerce with that nation. So (ar no threat of retaliation has accompanied the protest. but in this Minister Henglemuller is but following the example set by the Her man Minister, and the next step will undoubtedly be in the same direction. The United States is already at odds with tubs, Uermany and Austria over the sugar duty, and in the case of France there are already indications of the adoption of a retaliatory policy in the imposition of restrictions upon our meat trade and the importation of American w heat and Hour. '1 his su Meet was un der consideration by the Cabinet to-day, and as (nr as can be gathered the out come, if Congress fails to come to the relief ( the executive by the removal of theidnty which is supposed to cause the trouble, then resort must be had to retaliation, which will either open Euro pean countries to our exports or close our own ports to all European products. IN DARKEST CHICAGO. Sfurderara of Officer Douglaa Captured In a Tough Locality. Chicaqo, January 7. Betrayed by one of their pals, the murderers of Officer Edward Douglas last night were captured by thirty policemen raiding their hiding place, a dilapidated house on South Green street, several miles from the scene of the murder. The men who killed Douglas are Billy Roach and John Carey, mmberof --"' Market.. ..a.ta,,, : A ; wl.li William McCormick hiding In' it bedroom, having retreated when the of ficers in plain clothes took possession of all the exits, the street and the houBe. The watch and wedding ring, which were stolen from tlie residence of August Llndville a few minutes prior to the murder, were found in the room and a revolver with two empty chambers. The murderers drew their pistols on tne om cers who entered the room, but were quickly seized while covered with re volvers. A crowd of tongliB swarmed around the police on the sidewalk while the exciting raid was in progress, and attempted a rescue when the prisoners appeared, but the display of armed men kept them at bay. THOSE CONSPIRACY CHARGES. The Counsel Arguing the Case Against Doha and Other.. CutcAao, January 7. A motion to quash the indictments for conspiracy against Debs and the other directors of the American Railway Union and sixty others came up before Judge Grosscup to-day. There are twenty indictments. The lawyers were informed that they must elect on what indictments to argue the case. The omnibus indiitnient, which includes all of t he defendants, and which is for interfering with the mails only, and another indictment covering the crippling of interstate commerce were chosen. On motion of the prose' cuting counsel the indictments against several of the men were quashed. The lawyer for the defense contended in his opening that all the indictments should be quashed because tne woru - leioui ously " did not appear in any of them because they had a right to combine anc because they were not specific enough CANADIAN CATTLE. The Mlnlater of Agriculture Thlnka - Thein Free From Diua.e. Ottawa, Ont., January 7. The Min ister of Agriculture was interviewed to day in reference to the quarantine by Belgium of Canadian cattle. He said he was confident there had been a mis take. He thought there would be no ditliculty in pioving that the animals compluined of, which were supposed to have been shiDned from Unebec on the steamer Hispanliia, were free from pleu-ro-pneumoma. Sir Charles Tupper, he said, had ordered tbe lungs of the cattle complained of to be immediately for warded to the French expert, Sacard, at Paris, who will make a thorough exami nation. No Klgn of Trouble. Homestead, Pa., January 7. There was not the slightest sign of trouble in the vicinity of Carnegie's steel works to day. This morning a conference was held between tbe manager and the strik ing shearmen and a settlement reached. and the likelihood now of any strike of large proportions is removed. At ttrad- dock everything is quiet. Tbe strikers have called a meeting ior to-uay, at which action will be taken on the ulti matum of the Carnegie Company. The latter has engaged men to take the places of strikers, and a number of colored men were at work this morning in the ore vards, which the strikers have deserted. About 200 foundrymen were thrown ont to-day on' account of lack of materials. ProHlahle Mexican Road. Coatzacoalcos, January 7. The busi ness of tbe National Tebuantepee rail road is increasing rapidly, and tbe Fed eral government has found it profitable. There will be several important feeders constructed the present year.

SACBAafgNTo, January 7. Governor- elect Budd and several members of the legislature are already in the city. Senator Seawell received a dispatch from San Francisco stating that the executive committee of the Republican committee had ignored the legal committee recent ly appointed, and will ask the Legisla ture to pass a bill to prevent the Speaker of the Assembly from canvassing the re' turns fur Governor. This dispatch was shown Mr, Budd at the Sutter Club, and when atked about it he said : "It is the most Infamous attempt to defraud the iieople of their votes that was ever heard ol. It is tbe first time in the history of our country that a retroactive law has been specially pro posed to place in the hands of partisans the unseating of a man already elected. If this law can be changed, in the future any law can likewise be altered by any political party for like purposes. It strikes at the very foundation of our po litical system and endangers the stabili ty of our government. It is an insult to the people and especially an affront to the legislators, who will undoubtedly use their own judgment nnder their oaths and treat the matter with the contempt it deserves. That I am elected appears by the returns in the Secretary of State's office, which have by him been certified to Governor Markham. This is the only record required by law to be kept. I shall certainly qualify next week as Governor and assume the duties of the office." TO SETTLE OLD SCORES. Guatemala Wishes to form a League to Coerce Mexico. Mexico, January 7. The expected ar rival of Ministers from Honduras and Salvador and the possible nomination of Ministers from Nicaragua and Costa Rica have put a new light on the Guatemala-Mexican boundary negotiations. The evident object is to support Guate mala and bring force to make Mexico back down. All appearances are that Guatemala is making efforts to form a Central American loague against Mexico (or the settlement ot old scores. The Guatemalan Minister, it ia alleged, tele graphed after his oillcial reception that the response of Diaz was applauded, contrary to diplomatic precedent, and hat he used threatening language and prejudged a question ot nigh importance to all Central America. The Minister is evidently not pleasing to his chief, for it is alleged that Barrios requested that he war, died in abject poverty in her corn pursue a more conciliatory course. Tbe fortlees apartments, 1330 Franklin av policy of Mariscal and Diaz is noted as 1 enue.

Years ago, when yel low fever was raging in the South, the demands on the treasury of the order uecame so great as to nearly bankrupt It. A large number ol Iowa members refused to pay the assessment, and have been doing business on their own ac count ever since. They incorporated to meet the conditions imposed upon life insurance companies. Others sought to do business under the Supreme Lodge, and have been designated "loyal," while the seeders have been known as " rebela." The suit ilecided was to re strain the " ioyals " from doing business in this State under the name of Ameri can Order of United Workmen, and tbe decision is far-reaching. APPEAL FOR AID.
