German Operations In West Africa

Advices from the Cameroons country
men-of-war arrived at the mouth Of the
river, and on the Goth the steamers Fan
and Duslia, which belong to German
firms. towed launches which contained
500 fully armed men up the river to
Hickory. Upon reaching there, the Ger
man troops opened FIRE upon the natives,
who gathered and returned it. The Ger
mans landed and set fire to the villages.
side of the river, thereupon seized Woer-
monn's factory, and threatened to kill
Sub-Agent POntanics if any Of the inhabit-
ants of Fosstown were killed. The other
German agents, evidently fOrewsrned, had
left Csmeroons and joined the invaders.
On hearing of the seizure of Pontsnics
the boats attacked Fosstown, the natives
returning the fire until the Germans
landed. Many of the latter were killed.
The Germans were obliged to retire, but,
being reinforced, again charged and
drove the natives from the town, Chief
Calabar Joss being killed in the encounter.
The natives beheaded Pontanics, carried
his head through the town on pole, and
retired to the bush. The Germans set
fire to the town. Hamilton's English
factory was destroyed by shells and the
agent injured. Another factory was dam
aged and the agent compelled to take
refuge upon hulk in the river, and mar
rowly escaped with his life.
The Germans next day occupied Came
rooms. German trader searched all the
English ships, ostensibly for two Foss-
town chiefs, who escaped in the bush.
The German vessel Adler completed the
destruction of Hickory. The Baptist
mission station, erected at great cost, was
destroyed by fire. The missionaries COM

not known, as all the bodies were carried

only with the English. 1t is feared tha

using undue influence, will drive the Eng

era of revolutionary change and uni
versal freedom. Cleveland's election
inaugurates the era of consolidation.
The slaves have been emancipated
and their civil rights guaranteed by
the Constitution. The South has been
paciffed and purged of its treason.
The nation is an entity and not a
mere figure of speech. Law is su-
preme. 1t is therefore time to sheathe
the sword, and honerably retire the
battle-scarred veterans of the war, to
whose puissance and love of freedom
humanity shall forever stand debtor.
The mission of the United States is
now pacific. It has wider fields of
conquest before it than the civil war
presented. It must lead the van of
human progress, perfecting civil gov
eminent upon the basis of popular
sovereignty, and by it's inventive
genius subOrdinating the forces of ma
ture to the uses of man. In short, it
is the destiny of the Great Republic
to play the role of Prospero to the ma
tiOnal Calibans of the old world.
The Hawaiian Kingdom is knit to
the United States by the closest pos
sible ties of business and kindred, and
this day Hawaiians rejoice with
Americans that their political hori-
zon is clear, and that their future is
so well assured.

OPINIONS DIFFER.

A crusade, so to speak, has been
started against tea-drinking. Mr..
Arthur Young, in his famous EARN
er's Letters to the People of England"
says IF it is considered what a fatal
enemy excessive tea-drinking is to
the human body, how much it i'm
pairs the vigOr of the constitution
and debilitates the mind, the PERM
cious influence of it will be apparent.
It has been asserted that excessive
tea-drinking is of more fatal conse-
quence to the increase of the human
species than even the immoderate
use of spirituous liquors."
There can be no doubt of the in
furious effects of excessive tea-drink-
ing. Indeed, one of the most painful
and hopeless cases of insanity we ever
saw was that of young and power
full man under thirty years, whose
dreadful malady was induced by ha-
bitual tea-drinking. Reason had not
only fed, but his nervous system was
total wreck.
Cofee-drinking is also believed by
many to be injurious to health. Mr..
Gladstone, whose temperate habits
and religious bias are proverbial, re-
Gently stated to deputation which
waited on him in favor of prohibition,
that he considered the coffee palaces
of London were more injurious to the
working classes than the beer-shops.
And the late Lord Bishop of Peter
borough, one of the most brilliant
men in England, in debate in the
House of Lords on the same question,
boldly declared that he would rather
see England free and drunk than be
kept sober by cOmpulsOn. Thus opIn-
ions differ, while the golden mean lies
between extremes.

ject he determined to buy. In this
way perhaps he paid above the in
trinsic value for many relics of Ha-
wall, but he always had first choice.
DR.. Aiming is also collecting for the
museum at Berlin, and there are sew
eral curiosity hunters all over the
islands who make a business
of it. But nothing is being secured
for the Hawaiian Museum at all cal
culated to form complete or even
creditable national collection. This
is not ereditable to the people of Ha-
wall. It is not too late, however, to
gather q really valuable collection,
and we again reFsat that the work
should be set about without delay.

House Fired by Lamp and Pour Persons
Fatally Burned-Four Others Likely to Die.

WASHINGTON, July GA report received
here to-day from Woodbridge, Va, regarding a
fatal fire which occurred near there early last
Saturday morning, says that there were eight
persons in the house at the time-Joseph Harri
son, his wife and two children; Samuel Harrison
and Mrs. Bailey and baby, and Miss Bailey.
Mrs Harrison got up during the night to get Der
oldest child drink Of water and does not re-
member whether she blew out the lamp. She
afterwards discovered that the house was on
fire, and called her husband, who got up and
took his two children, and called his brother
Samuel. Then his wife and Mrs Bailey
and baby and Miss Bailey started down stairs
Samuel came down and started to the front
door When he entered the front room, the
smoke and heat were great that he fell, but
finally crawled across to the other room and got
out of the back door. He could not
find any of the Others nor
hear anything of them, and he called
neighbors, who soon arrived and knocked
the front door in with an AK and got Mrs. Harri-
son and two children out. The heat so in
tense that they could not go back after the
rest. Another neighbor had gone in
and pulled Joseph Harrison and
but did not know that Mrs. Baileys baby was
still there; SO it was burned to death. The others
were carried to a neighboring house, where

The Strike at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, O., July G.-Twelve hundred
striking iron workers marched into the city this
mor--ing and drew up at the general Offices of
the Clev.l' and Rolling Mill Company. Several
men spoke #, the officials of the company in
Polish and English, demanding return to the
old wages and semi mon thly payday. w B.

He said that the wages decided on to be paid,

was in its present depressed condition. that set.

money before regular day will continue as

a demand Of the strikers to the effect that If
they returned to work mono of their leaders
should be discharged. After Chisholm had read
his answer, the men went to their hall and were
addressed by the mayor.
This afternoon the employees of Atkins,
Clarkson & Co., asked for an advance Of % per

to start out its cars with the aid
of the police again in the morning, but there are
no indications that its efforts will be more
successful than they were today. Judging
from remarks made by strikers, there is pros
pect of more serious disturbance to morrow than
that of this afternoon. The secretary of the car
drivers and conductors association told re-
porter o-night that the strikers had purposely
kept away from the barns and streets
to-day Their object was to avoid
disturbance and ascertain how many men
the company could procure to run its cars. The
events of the day show the force was only
sufficient to man twenty cars. The
secretary added that tomorrow there
might be trouble, The president of
the association tonight addressed let
ter to President Jones, of the
West Division company, notifying him of the
willingness Of the strikers to arbitrate, stating
their choice for arbitrator, and requesting early
information as to the company's proposed action
concerning the matter.
LATER.-The City Council, after devoting con
siderable time to discussion of the strike has
just appointed a committee of FIVE Of its mem
bers to hold an early conference with the mayor,
the street-car company and the strikers, with the
OBJ ect - view of bringing about peaceful
settlement Of existing differences.

Board on the advantages Of
fercd by the Society to the
public, report:
1st. The Society issues all
the approved forms of assur-
ance, including Ordinary Life,
Endowment, and Tontine poll
cies. 1t is immaterial. to the
Directors which form Of policy
is taken by intending assurers.
I'd. The Life and Endowment
forms Of policy provide for an
nual cash dividends and a sur
render value: are indisputable
after three years, and payable
Immediately after proof OF Death
sd. The premiums on Ton
tine policy are the same as on
the Ordinary Life, but, while
the latter is only payable in the
event of death, the holder OF
the Tontine policy has the right
to draw the whole OF the reserve
and the accumulated profits in
cash at the end of a stated
period; thus, during his own
lifetime, after his producing
years are past, he can, without
any larger premium than on
an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th. Experience shows that
the return paid in cash on ma
turing Tontine policies approx
| mates to or exceeds the amount
of premiums paid by policy
holders, SO that the average
cost of the assurance will be
only about the interest on the
premiums.
5th. Tontine policies, like
others, are paid in full in the
event Of death at any time dur
ing the term Of the policy, and
are incontestible after three
years, and payable Immediately
after due proof OF death.
9th. Experience shows that
the mortality is lower among
Tontine policy holders, as the
better lives seek this kind Of
assurance, which is a consider
able source of profit.
9TH. Tontine policies will be
made non-forfeitable under the
laws of the State, il SO desired,
at the time the assurance is
effected.
Sth. The Tontine system is
fair and just; its accounts are
accurately kept, separate from
all other business; the funds
judiciously invested and i'm
proved, and the accumulated
profits faithfully guarded and
properly apportioned.
9th. The Society has since
its organization transacted a
larger amount of new business
than any other company, while
its new business for the first
half OF the present year is
81, 10000 larger than that of
the first half of 1884. 1t has
