The mcers' Side.

The warrants recently issued against
Policemen Coghill and Gibson, charging
them with assaulting ]. Wallace Barnes
the liquor drummer, as printed in The Star
several days ago, were nolle pressed in the
Police Court today. The officers side OF
the case is entirely different from the state
ment of the prosecuting witness. AS
printed at the time the warrants were is
sued. Barnes charged that Coghill had IL
legally arrested him, and that this con-
stituted an assault. The only charge put
against Barnes at the time was intoxica-
ton, and he, therefore, was not taken into
the Police Court
The officers say that officer Coghill did
not even arrest Barnes, but that he was
arrested by an officer who went in the pa
troll wagon in response to a call from a
citizen. So far as the case of officer Glib
son Is concerned, that officer SAYS he used
no violence whatever toward Barnes, but
merely went with him from the office in
the station to the cell room. Barnes also
complained that he was bitten by a dog in
the station, and the officers say that the
dog he complains of is puppy not more
than six inches long

GENERAL FOREIGN AFFAIRS

PARIS, July ALI the newspapers of
this city eulogize the courtesy and chivalry
Of Emperor William Of Germany in ordering
the release from prison of Lieuts. Dagony
and Malevas, two French officers. who were
convicted of spying upon the Notifications
Of Kiel.
The socialist organs urge the French gov
eminent to initiate the clemency Of the
German emperor and grant amnesty to
French political prisoners.
1t is too early to estimate the good erect
upon the relations between France and
Germany which this neat little coup upon
the part of Emperor William will eventually
have, but it's first effect has been to cause
an oCtburst of gratitude toward Germany
which may pave the way for much better
permanent feelings.
Germany, since her spat with England
upon the Congo treaty question, has been
feeling much more sympathy for France
than for years past, and the murder Of
President Sadi Carnot seems to have in
creased the growth of friendliness between
the two rival nations.
Thus. President Casimir-Perier has a
CLEAN of political sunshine at the outset of
his career as chief magistrate.
1t was announced this morning that the
French government had annulled the order
issued IN April last, suspending the stipend
of the archbishop of Lyons. and all arrears
will be imIn ediately paid to him.
This, evidently, is another step toward
Cancellation with Rome. The first step was
taken yesterday, when Mgr. Ferrati, the
papal nuncio, walked. with only little
silk skull cap on his head. from the Elysee
Palace to the Cathedral OF Notre Dame be-
hind the remains Of the late president of
France.
Consequently the regime of President
Casimir-Perier opens the day after the fu-
neral Of his predecessor with improved re-
lations with Germany and with the Vatican
The presidents attendance at the funeral

A Vampire Worm,

From Natural Science
Speaking Of wild beasts that are at once
large, ferocious and African, a correspon-
dent sends US an interesting note about an
earth worm. Africa has already produced
the largest earth worm Niicrochaeta rappD
known to science, with the possible excep-
ton of megascolides australis from Austral-
la; but these are giants of perfectly harm
less kind. The worm to which we now re-
fer is said, by Mr.. Alvan Mtllson assist

coast Of Africa. TO inspire dread among the
natives Of that coast Its appearance is

three or four feet-but II IS either of a rich
raw-beefy color or of a lowering black the
difference OF color being a mark of a diff
ference of species.
On one occasion a number of natives were
collected together when one OF these giants
strolled casually into the camp; the result
appears to have been a rapid flight on the
part of the natives. The reason for the
awe-inspiring character OF the worm IS IFS

seem probable that the most recent results
