German Financial FIurries.

BERLIN, Nov. la.-Thcre is renewal
today, on a small scale, of the financial
uneasiness OF the commencement Of
this week. This feeling is caused by
the fact that rumors are circulating on
the course 10 the effect that a promi-
nent banker Of Charlottenburg, near
this city. has been arrested on charge
made by himself of appropriating and
pawning bonds intrustcd to>his care.
The banker referred to is said to have
gone to police station and have frankly
accused himself of the crime men
toned. Charlottenburg Is q great
place for breweries, mills and factories
OF various descriptions and 1t Is feared
should the story prove true, that many
prominent brewers and leading manu-.
facturers may be involved In trouble.

Dayitt Calls n Halt,

DUBLIN, Nov. l4.-Michael Davitt
has written letter for publication in
which he strongly objects 20 abusive
references made by Healys and other
anti-Parnellites to Mrs. Parnell, widow
of the late Charles Stewart Parnell.
Among other things, Davitt says that
references to Widow Parnell have
been couched in the most insult
ing language, and he reminds the Irish
leaders that these attacks are made
upon one for whom Mr.. Parnell made
the most appalling sacrifices. He added
that these attacks upon Mr.. Parnell's
widow will in no way serve the cause
of Ireland and he reminds them that,
in the United States there is keen
feeling of indignation and regret at the
billingsgate character of the contro.
versy going on between the Mccarthy
ties and the Parnellites.

the first witness today. The doctor
stated that he did not believe
lumpy jaw was contagious, except
where the drippings came in con-
tact with raw or abraded surface.
He believed the meat was good IL
boiled, because the germs would be
destroyed at the boiling point, but be.
lieves there was danger in lumpy-jaw
meat fried. H. Brown, of the commis-
sion firm of Coffman g. Brown, Chi

day. He said he had been a stock
raiser and stock dealer all his life and
he did not believe lumpy jaw was con-
taRious, nor did he believe the meat

been the practice, up 10 three years
ago, To ship lumpy-jaw cattle east.

jaw had not begun suppurating.
Where IL had the animal was
killed and the meat sold to local butch
ers in Chicago and elsewhere. William
Wolfner. of Peoria, who handles all the
cattle for trust, said lumpy-jaw cattle
had been killed here on the suggestion
of DIR. Casewell and the meat sold to
local butchers, when the disease was
In its infancy. This was kept up until
January 10, 1890, when DIR. Scott, the
Peoria veterinarian, superintended the
killing and poured coal oil over the
meat to prevent its sale. The defense,
II is understood, will show, before the
case Is ended. by the testimony OF
prominent physicians all over the
country, that lumpy-jaw meat Is un'
wholesome.

Honolulu 10 protect American interests
there and to seize the Hawaiian islands

that the circulation of the rumor in
China is due to the suspicion
among British capitalists that
the United States will prevent
the subordination OF American

any cost and this panicky feeling has
been particularly prevalent at
Shanghai where British interests In
the Pacific are SO largely represented.
