Dissatisfied With the United states.

BERLIN, Feb. 4.-Commenting upon the
action OF the United States senate IN
voting credit for a coaliDg station AZ
Pago Pago, the National Zeitung says:
America obtained the right to establish
cOaling station from MalietOa, but
she did not take advantage of the
privilege within the specified time. The
establishment of 2 station now would ap-
pear to be an American protest against
German annexation"
The North German Gazette tonight
makes sIiusion 20 Pendleton being IN

that the appointment of new American

IN MILWAUKEE
Members of the Methodist Church Bring
Charges Against heir Minister

Charges Against Their Minister
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 4.-The misunder-
standing IN Milwaukee Methodist circles
which showed itself so conspicuousIy
during the recent annual conference at
Racine has recently broken broken out
again in ludicrous form. Rev. Fletcher
l.. Wharton, pastor of the AsbUry NJ. Z.
church, was charged with purchasing
package of chewing tobacco ON Sunday,
and the presiding elder imm ediately
took the necessary steps to have
hlm tried on a charge of immoral
lty. The charges have since been with
drawn, but it is by no means SUR, that
the end OF the matter has been reached.
1t appears that about the first of last
December one of the members of Rev
Mr.. Nhsrton'5 church, having some feel
Ing against him, applied for a certificate
of dismissal. The pastor told him that
not beng member III good standing he
could not have the certificate

Grated the Sabbath by purchasing chew
ing tobacco upon that day was the result.
As soon IS the matter was laid before
Presiding E der HaIsey he proceeded to
arrangp for a trial with the result that
the proceedings, after much lighting,
were stopped. The clergymen who were
notified to try the Rev. Mr.. Wharton for
immortality were again notified that the
charges had been withdrawn. The mem
bers of the church are very indignant
about the way their pastor has been
treated.

DIsFAToHs from Madagascar bring
graphic accounts of a singular and pic
turtsqne ratlonsl ceremony, in which the
Queen plays the principal part 1t is
called the festival OF the bath, aud - cele-
brsted annually. The Queen sat on {.
throne, surrounded by representatives of
foreign powers, all seated, except the
French resideu', wno stood. Behind her
sat the sttthda, Is. Her majesty WAS
wrapped IN a simple robe of red silk.
Presently appeared a procession of ma
tives bearing water and other neosssaries
for the ba h, including firewood These
they conveyed 10 q quadran gle surround
ed b. curtains. When the water was
warm the QCeeu stepped down and enter
cd the ouvtained space. In few minutes
sslvoes of artillery announced to the pee
ole that the Queen vas taking her bath
In few minutes more she resppesrej
snmptuously clothed With iewe's. She
carried horn filed with the bath water,
with which she spriukled the companv.
Then ompltmentary speecnes wsr. .x-
changed. Again the boom of cannon was
heard, and the people gave themselves
up TO festlrity. During the dav of the
feast no animals are allowed to be slsuyb.-
cred, which means that none can be eat
en-, as meat will rot keep twenty-four
hours in Madagascar. But the next day
scores of oxen are slain, and the fast ia
broken with great good will.

Our Climate Not Changing.

Prof. Cleveland Able, OF the Meteorol
ogical Building at Washington, who is
the real founder of our weather service,
takes up in the February number of the
Forum the popular ides that our climate
Is changing. After showing in an inter
esting way how changes, If any occur, are
caiculated from meteorological tables, he
shows that rational climatology gives no
basis for the much talked of ipasence up
on the climate of country produced by
the growth or destruction of forests, the
building OF railroads or teIegraphs and
the cultivation of wide extent of prairie
Any opinion as TO the meteorological eff
fects of mans activity, he says, must be
based either upon the records of obserya-
tions or On priori theoretical reasoning
Now the records of experience are ex-
ceedibgly diverse in various parts of the
~oric, and leas to no Uniform conclusion.
The psychological evidences OF the
former existence of animals and plants
where they cannot now thrive, show clear
ly that great changes have taken place
during geological ages perhaps $4,000
years distant; but no i'm portaut climatic
change has Jet been demonstrated since
human history began.
