Several Pottsville, Pa, collieries have Just
suspended Indefinitely, throwing 600 employees
out OF work. There are now thirty two idle
,colleries in the Schuylkill coal region. which
gave employment to over Il, 900 persons. The

and at most of the mines work is provided for
as many married men as possible The single
men have TO shift the best way they can. At
many mines, particularly those OF the Reading

genuine distress prevails. A great many

Documents Relating to German Claims
to the Land OF Fill.
White book has just been issued in Berlin,
entitled "The German Claims to the Land of
FIJI" 1t comprises SO documents, ranging
IN date from Oct 81, 1883, to Sept. 10, 1884,
md containing the records of Gernany's eff
lorts to obtain settlement of the claims of
Herman subjects to the land of Fiji. The
documents possess special interest, because it
was England's resistance to these claims
which induced Germany to adopt her present
Rctive colonial policy. When England en-
nexod the FIJI islands, all debts contracted by
abe islands prior 10 1874 were declared to be
irrecovenble, and the titled deeds to lands
were reierred TO special commission. The
latter proceeded very slowly, and contested
several proofs OF German ownership. thereby
causing Germany frequently to remonstrate.
IN April, 1885, Germany proposed that mixed
commission be appointed to inquire into this
disputed claim. Earl Granville replied that
the proposal could not be accented by the
British colonial office. In October, Germany
asked TO be informed as to the views of the
English cabinet, not those of the colonial
Office, and reiterated her demand for a mixed
commission. In January, 1884, Earl Granville
aeplled, refusing TO consent to the appoint.

Flute Starving Indians,

The Pluto Indians are said to be starving on
their barren reservation in Nevada. Not one
cent of the Congressional appropriation of
$1,000 secured by Senator Dawes of Massa-
chusetts has reached them. The winter in
Nevada has been q very severe one. The
reservation is so barren that nothing could be
grown on the land The Indians number
10000. Almost their sole means of subsst-
ence have been pine nuts, fish from Pyramid
Lake and rabbits, latterly the only game on
the reservation. Sarah Winne1nucca, a men,

To Beat America with Sugar Beets,

There is much discussion as to the use to
which the Soudan can be put after Khartoum
is relieved. 1t is said the country is pre.emi-
nently suitable for the cultivation of tie sugar
beet. Great interest is now taken by English
savants in the sugpr beet. They fondle tho
root as if in it England had at last discovered
the winning weapon with which to combat
American agricultural competition. these
learned men are now attempting to teach the
British farmer how to proftably cultivate the
sugar beet 1t is easier TO grow, they say,
than wheat, and mo. c profitable to sell; and,
if Gordon manages to turn oyer lease of
khaltoum to England, that is the country to
emigrate to, because sugar beats can be cult
waited there better and with greater profit than
anywhere else in the world. :.

Striking Proofs


Of the efficacy of HOstetter's Stomach Bitters
have been afforded and published in the shape
of testimonials from phys clans and private
individuals, who have tested its value in cases
OF rheumatism. We are all aware of the OBJ
stinate character of this complaint, and some
of us have witnessed its fatal termination
when il attacked the heart. To resist and foil
its preliminary attacks is therefore the part of
wisdom. If pains are felt in the joints or
muscles after wetting, its approach may not
unreasonably be inferred. In that case

The condition of affairs in political circles in
Panama is described as greatly disturbed, and d
civil war is imminent. The American man-of-
war Alliance recently landed force of marines,
with Calling gun, at Aspinwall, to guard the
railroad and canal property there, and then
hauled in so as to be in readiness for any emer-
gency. The landing Of American forces
created great excitement among the natives,
which disappeared when it became known that
the marines were seat a'hore ut the request of
the President. The people of the isthmus feel
sore over the American preference for Nioara-
qua, and say tina. the Americans have enjoyed
here for 40 years all the benefits sought to be
obtained by the Nicaragua treaty.

FUSS AND FEATHERS.

Army and Navy Officers PIqued at a
Matter OF Dress Etiquette.
A small breach, which is said to be widen
ing, has arisen at Washington, between the
diplomatic corps and the officers Of the army
and navy, growing out of question Of dress
at official receptions. 1t appears that when
the President gives a reception to the diplo.
matte corps and invites the officers Of the army
and navy to meet them, the diplomats attend
in full court dress, but that when they are
invited to attend a reception given BY the
President to the army and navy they invaria.
bly, discard their court dress and appear in the
usual evening dress OF civilians. The army
and navy officers afe said to be unified" at
this, especially in view Of the fact that they are
required to wear special dress uniform at all
the receptions. The officers, therefore, feel
that absence from the receptions to the diplo-
matte corps IS the only way they have of
showing their feel ngs in the matter. As
consequence, there were comparatively few of
the army and navy officers stationed in the
city in attendance at the diplomatic reception
ON Tuesday last. 1t is not expected, however,
that any serious international complications
viii result from the present state Of Affairs.
