WHEN last years cherries were ripe

grocer in Akron, O., poked a cherry
stone into his ear. OF course his

gan to suffer horrible pairs in his ear.

1.-THE FLAG AGAIN FIRED ON.

A German Man -of-W War In the Mozam-
bique Channel Pours Shot Into an
American Vessel-Germany's Action in
Samoa Causes Distrust In London.
PARIS, Jan. 26.-Le Temps publishes q
dispatch from Zanzibar stating that an
American sailing vessel from Zanzibar
for Madagascar ports has been fired into
and disabled by German war-ship.
LONDON, Jan. 26-Lord Salisbury had
long interview with Count Won Hatzfeldt,
the German Ambassador, Friday. The
Premier was indisposed to accept the
views entertained by Germany regarding
the Samoa and Zanzibar difficulties, which
he said were Undue ng distrust on all
sides. The Admiralty is preserving
mysterious silence with regard to the ma
bar waters.
1t is stated at the Foreign Office that the
United States Government is thoroughly
in earnest in the stand it has taken in
Samoa. American naval officers in Samoa,
it is said, expressed complete confidence
in the ability to hold their own against
any thing they may have to contend with.
LONDON, Jan. 26.-The Standard Ber-
lin correspondent says that Secretary Bay
ards implied attack upon the policy Of
Germany in Samoa has created a great
deal of irritation in official circles, though
it is automatically suppressed. Mean
while many persons think that England
and Germany should appoint a joint pro-
tectorate over Samoa and that America
should not or would not object.
BERLIN, Jan. 26-The National Zeitung,
referring to the action of the Senate Com
mittee at Washington on the Samoan
affair, says that the measures for the pro-
lection Of the autonomy of the Samoan
Islands are superfluous, because it is not
threatened by any one. The sole interest
OF America, the paper says, consists in
not allowing the good relation, with Ger
many to be jeopardized by few intrigu-
ing adventurers.
The Vossische Zeltung, criticising the
argument in the Cologne Gazette, holds
that it would be mistake to attach no i'm
portance to the measures taken by Presi-
dent Cleveland merely because he is to be
shortly succeeded by Mr.. Harrison 1t
points out that the authority for dealing
with foreign affairs rests with the Com
mittee of the Senate, and warns the semi
official press that it would be unwise to
try to appease the German public with
''fallactous illusions"
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-Mr Morrow
(Cal.), who is the CHI airman of tue sub
committee of the House Committee on For
cign Affairs, intends to call the sub-com-
mittee together and get to work at the
earliest opportunity. He says that his
views on Samoan affairs are positive
and have boon made known through
the resolution introduced by him
in the House last session. The status quo
at the time the representatives of the
United States, Germany and England
met, he says, must be restored, and this
would necessitate the replacement Of
K rs Malietoa in the position from
which he was so unjustly removed by the
German agents and sent to the Marshall
Islands.
