High-handed Proceedings of the Ger
mans in Africa.


LONDON, February 4th.-AdYices from
the Cameroons country state that on De
cember 18th two German men-of-war ar
rived at the mouth of the river, and on the
Goth the steamers Fan and Dualia, which
belong to German firms, towed launches
which contained 800 armed men, up the
river to Hickory. Upon reaching there, the
German troops opened fire upon the ma
tiveS, who gathered and returned it. The
Germans landed and set fire to the villages.
The chiefs at FosstOwn, on the opposite
side Of the river, thereupon seized Woer.
mann's factory, and threatened to kill
Sub-agent Pontauics if any of the inhabit-
ants of Fosstown were killed The other
German agents evidently forewarned had
left Cameroons and joined the invaders.
On hearing of the seizure of Pontanics, the
boats attacked FOsstown, the natives re-
turning the fire until the Germans landed.
Many of the latter were killed The Ger
mans We're obliged to retire but, being re-
infOrced. again charged and drove the
natives from the town, Chief Calabar JOSS
being killed in the encounter. The natives
behcaded Pontanics, carried his head
through the town on pole and retired 10
the bush. The Germans set fire to the
town. Hamilton's factory was DESTROYED
by shells and the agent injured. Another
factory was damaged and the agent COM
peIlcd TO take refuge upon a hulk in the
river and narrowly escaped with his life.
The Germans next day occupied Came
rooms. a German trader searched all the
English ships, ostensibly for two Fosstown
chiefs, who escaped in the bush The Ger
man vessel Adler completed the destruc-
ton Of Hickory. The Baptist mission sta
ton, erected at great cost was destroyed
by fire. The missionaries complain bitterly
because they were not warned. Many
women and children were killed The
number Of natives killed is not known, as
ali the bodies were carried into the BUSH
The natives now trade only with the Eng
lish 1t is feared that the Germans, who
accuse the English of undue influence, will
drive the English traders away. The ac-
ton of the Germans in making an attack
without declaring war and searching Brit
ISL ships in really neutral territory, Ger
many having annexed only the Fosstown
side of the river, is considered Il fragrant
violation of international law.

A Suggestive Symbol.

A man from Texas, who was trav-
cling through the North, noticed
that the usual sign over the doors
of savings banks was a beehive.
'sIs a beehive the regular sign Of
a savings bank ?" asked the stran-
ger. of a native whose acquaintance
he had made.
eyes was the reply; ''most of
the savings banks have the beehive
for sign on account of its appro-
priateness. The depositors, OF
course, are the bees. They are off
at work collecting honey, which
they deposit in the hive for their
use in winter. The owner Of the
hive is, Of course, the president Of
the savings bank. When there is
as much honey in the bank as he
needs, he robs the hive and skips
out for Canada with all the avail
able assets. The bees, or deposi-
tors, buzz around good deal, but
most of them starve and freeze to
death during the winter.
"But who are the drones p
"They are the clerks, who are
relatives Of the President or direc-
tors, who draw big salaries, but
never do much work.
"Who is the queen bee?"
"Oh, she is the female friend Of
the president of the bank, and
usually accompanies him to Cana
da. So now you understand the
appropriateness Of beehive being
the symbol of the average savings

Our contemporary, the Picayune,
this morning has an excellent arti-
Gle headed Getting a jury The
inadequacy of our criminal laws to
serve the ends Of justice and protect
society against the lawless classes
has often been commented on by
the States. On the eve of the as
sembly of the two last sessions of
the Legislature we suggested that
the Governor recommend, as the
Governor of Illinois did at one time,
The appointment Of a commission Of
eminent lawyers and other citizens
to prepare a project Of a completely
revised criminal code, designed to
protect society and not the murder
ers and other Williams who flourish
and increase under the present sys-
tenn. We hope Gov. McEnery will
adopt this suggestion in his next
message to the General Assembly.
Under the present practice every
protection is thrown around the red
handed murderer !; hordes of scoun-
drels, who ought to dangle from the
gallows, escape on mere TECHNICAL
ties. The consequence is that men
who have no other capacity for the
law than a knowledge of the bum
mer and hoodlum element that
largely constitute our juries, and
hence know how to fight for and Sc
cure corrupt, ignorant and incompe-
tent Jurors in the interest Of the
aw-breakers, and o skill in main
tanning the technicalities of the law
In the same behalf arrive to great
prominence as criminal lawyers.
Through the favor our criminal laws
show the murderers, at the opening
of the Ford trial to-day the accused
still had forty-two challenges and
the State only one in the selection
of the jury. It will be already seen
what an advantage the murderers
are here given in the selection OF
the remaining SIX jurors.N. O.

Interrupt Church
Services.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Rev. DIR.
Patten, president of Howard Uni
yersity, preached a sermon in the
Congregational church of this city
today on "Woman and Skepti-
cism," in the course of which he
spoke of the woman suffrage con-
Yention held here recently, and ex-
pressed the opinion that when wo-
men are given too much liberty they
brench off into skepticism and inn
mortality.
He said, among other things, that
the lives of such women as George
Eliot, Nine. Roland and Harriet
Martineau exemplitied the truth Of
this assertion, and he referred to
Victoria Woodruff as the represent
ative of the woman suffrage move
ment. Among his audience were
Miss Susan B. Anthony and Mrs.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and on
the conclusion of the services they
walked to the platform and up
braided DR.. Patten for his utter
ances.
Miss Anthony said to him il his
mother were living she should take
him across her knee and spank him.
but Mrs. Stanton, interrupting bel
said "On the contrary let me con

they have are in the pulpit, and

God that people don't know what a

me that all the woes Of his race
came from the people who had
landed at Plymouth Rock, and he
added that any student Of history
could verify the statement. That
Indian told the truth. And when 7
