The New York World publishes full
history OF events In Samoa from tho
proclamation OF q state OF war by the Ger
man CONSUL. He says that In q consultst
held by tho German consul with the chief
men OF King Mataafs, they were given to
understand that the establishment of
martial law and other harsh measures were
directed solely GgaiHst the American and
Eng lish residents, whom the Germans
were determined to drive away. The
proclamations posted In Apis wero In
German and EDglith, and could not be
read by the natives. Klein says that ne
learned from trustworthy source
that the real cause OF the violent
measures OF the q Gsrmans was rs follows:
when the German consul ut Apia sent q
cable dispatce concerning the killing OF the
German sailors, by way Ct Auckland, to
the young emperor OF Germany at Berlin,
the dispatch was received by shat untried
Cesar In the presence OF Count Hsrbert
Bismarck. They were both overcome with
anger, and were anxious only for revenge.
Instructions were mediatcly csblsd to
the German consul a. Apia to declare war
against King Ma,safs and bis people ana
to establish martial law Ia Apis. Prince
ceivsd from The German consul ia Apis
until several hours after the emperor had
sent the cablegrsm ordering the consul in
Apia TO declare war. He then insisted that
such action had been to hssty aud that The
United States and England, having treaties
with Samoa as well as Germany, ought to
have been notified OF the intention Of the
latter country to declare war before tho
actual declaration was made. Ho therefore
cabled to the German consul general at
sydney to charter vessol at any cost and
send her TO Apia at once with orders to
suspend all active operations. "
This IL, at any rate, a very probable story,
Klein says that he WAS an Dxious to ioin
Mstasfa In his camp, but 1t is little hard
10 believe that his anxiety on this score
was very great, as he knew he was blamed
and hated by the Germans who would
never be convinced that he had not
actually led Mstaaia's troops. He was
assured that bis life would not be safe an
hour away from the Nipsic, /" As the Nipsic

The mellow touch Of antique
Japanese Porcelain comes only
with centuries, and that means
hundreds or thousands Of dol

affect them for table or cabinet
you would be apt to. But
the modern Porcelain OF Japan
in useful objects has been cost

still.
We recall the first Japanese

our larger towns and cities
thirty years and more ago.
Doubtless there are treasured
up In hundreds Of American
homes the little tokens of por.

tinguished Japs presented in
recognition OF courtesies re.
ceived. Trifes they were. In
these days they would seem
absurd they are SO cheap.
Looking back, we fancy the

would in giving a bit Of mirror

But time brings changes
The Jap may be a heather, but
he is a bit civilized. Our art Is
incomplete without his. In
choice shapes and rich colors
his pottery adorns our statelies,
halls, Eliminates our cabinets
embellishes our tea tables, and
thus learning Of him importan,
lessons the bird of freedom
roars gently.

EDITOR DENoCRAT-DEAR SIR: You VIII please
publish the following item:
There is no family living that can expect to
the race of life without accident or sickness.
Sometime it affects the body, and sometimes the
eyes, such as my case, l lost the sight of
my right eye about twelve years age. AS long
as l had the sight of my left eye l was not
troubled very much; but in July, 1885 l became
almost totally blind so that could not read or
help myselfat the table. Now comes the trouble
what to do? A neighbOr of mine had been un-
der an operation III Chicago and lay three weeks
on his back at an expense of SIS per week for
board and nursing, and came home with his
sight very little improved. He was recon-
menned to DR.. Snider, of Milwaukee. From this
gentleman 1 obtained DR.. Snider's address and
called on him. He examined my eyes and sent
me to hospital, where my eye was dressed twice
day. l had two operations performed while
there, and in five weeks l was home and able to
repeat in experience the glorious words of the
Gospel, Whereas | was once blind l now see
For the benefit of those having trouble with
their sight would say that DR.. Snider can make
no terms until he has examined the eyes; but
he is perfect gentleman in every respect. The
charge at the hospital is So per week with nurses
night and day. Yours d. d. HOWELL

Tended. Before any testimony was
introduced the defense moved that the
complaint be dismissed, because it did
not set up or specify any unlawful
act which the defendants assembled to
do. After argument this motion was
oyerruled. The defense then moved that
the court require the district attorney
to amend the complain and make it
more specific. This motion was sus-
tanned, and the district attorney was
directed to make the complaint more
spciic. This, Mr. Carter refused to
do, saying that the complaint, as it
stood, was sufficient. The court there
upon dismissed the case.
