GERMANJ'ee@ 'NsoLENCE.
The British Lfeq1 Adually Working
Himself into a Frenzied Rare


LONDON, Dec. 3l.-The Standard this morn
ing publishes dispatch from Madrid under
the heading "The lnsolence of Germany" re-
ferring to the failure Of the protocol regard
ing the SoOloo Archipelago to receive sigma
lures. 1t says that there was positive agree
ment on the part Of the three countries
interested Spain, England and GERMANY to
atiiX official signatures on Dec. 49, "At the
last moment, however," the dispatch con-
tlnues, Count Won Salms SonnenWalde the
German plenipotentiary, in the usual recent
high handed style of German diplomats, pro-
duced novel claims of Germany showing
desire TO infringe upon English and Span
lsh rights in BOrneO and the 500
loo Islands. Germany has also given
Spain to understand that she does not ap-
prove of the commercial concessions which
Spain is making to England and the United
States. Both Germany and France insist
that their exports shall be admitted to the
Spanish West Indies upon an equal footing
with exports from America. Spain is not
disposed to yield to English snubbing. The
newspapers counsel a close knitting together
Of Spaiu, England, Italy and the United
States. They urge England and Spain to sign
the SooloO protocol and ignore Germany's
pretensiOns.

CORNERING HOG CHOLERA.
Experiments in Progress Which will

Bring the Disease Under Subiugation.
WHEELING, W. VA, Dec. 3I.-A series Of
experiments are now IN progress the result of
which will be awaited with interest by the
scientific as well as the agricultural world.
Ihe series Is triangular, one point being at the
Department of Agriculture, another at Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore, and the third
at the Office of DR.. Reeves, executive officer oi
the West Virginia Health Board, The first
result achieved has been the discovery that
the germ of hog cholera is a specific germ
bacillus, and can be reproduced. If the ex=
perlments verify the present hopes, hogs and
other animals may be inOcUlaIed with the
virus of cholera by producing in them the
disease in mild form, and ravages by the
plague in fatal shape may be prevented. AL
ready cattle may be inOculated for Texas
fever and pleuro pneumonia, and DR.. Reeves
has the strongest hopes of the same result
with cholera, the disease now raging through
Belmont county and all Eastern Ohio, though
practically STAMPED ont in this State

HOOKING VALLEY TURMOIL.
Shots Fired. but no General Outbreak
Other Labor Matters.

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 3I.-The officers of the
Hooking Valley Railway and Coal Exchange
report everything quiet in the valley this
morning, though they express the opinion
that there will be some trouble tonight.
They say that the demonstrations last night
failed to take active form because the strik-
ers were met with such a strong force of
guards at the point where they expected to
make an attack. They consider the unusual
demonstrations at this time as an effort to
keep the miners from breaking from their
ranks, as many of them had decided to do.
Early THIS morning several shots were fired
at Happy Hollow. but without doing anv
damage, and this was the extent of the out
ward demonstration on the part of the un-
lawful element.
QUIET AFTER NIGHTFALL.
COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 81. 1850 P. M-The
latest reports from the Hooking valley to-
night are that all is quiet, with no probability
OF immediate trouble. Nothing of the nature
OF a demonstration on the part of the striking
miners has been noticed since last night,
when the reports in regard to it were greatly
exaggerated.

CHRISTMAS STRATEGY.
How John Blades Convinced His Wife
Of His Love.


CARMI, ILL, Dec. 29.-John Blades, a far
mer living few miles out of town, perpe-
trated a serious Christmas joke on his neigh
bors yeste rday. He is about 35 years of age,
and has wife about 30, with whom he has
disagreed, and who left him last week. John
thought TO cause her to repent of the step she
had taken, and on Friday wrote a note and
laid it on the mantel, telling her he had con-
cluded that his sorrow at losing her was more
than he could stand, and that, wearied with
his loneliness, he had determined on taking
his life. He then killed the family rooster
and sprinkling the blood around the
house and on the bed, he laid
the bloody knife on the floor. He
then took the bleeding rooster, and walking
through the snow, made a crimson streak
across the yard. Secreting the rooster, he left
the premises. Soon after his wife, returning
to procure her household goods, found the
CHASTITY traces, with the note explaining the
cause of her husbands apparent suicide.
Her grief was unbOunded, and she bewailed
the loss of one who at the hour of his death
gave probably for the first time such unmis-
taxable testimony Of his affection; She with
the neighbors, secured the surrounding coun-
try for the body of the husband. Late in the
evening he was found sitting comfortably by
the fire at the house of a friend about one and
a half miles away. A reconciliation viii
doubtless follow.

Prayer Failed to Cure Them.
. DENVER, COL, Dec. 3I.-Last night an
sAther founding died at Williams Asylum,
making three deaths from Inattention since
Christmas day. At the Coroner's inquest to-
day, Williams admitted that no physician had
been called to attend the children, and that
not even the simplest remedies had been ap-
pied, as he and his household firmly believed
in the efficacy of prayer to cure all human ills.
And it his belief that where patients die
in his institution, no human power
could have saved them. Prominent
physicians held an autopsy to-day, which
revealed the fact that one or more of the
children would have recovered with proper
medidal attention, or even with the care of a
competent nurse. The COroner's jury de-
clares in its verdict that the institution is in
the hands of lot of religious fanatics. and in
the above cases were crIminally negligent,
and recommends that the place be closed by
the authorities.
