A LONDON dispatch, of the 18th. says:

The dispatches Of Monday make evil
dent the fear that serious trouble may
arise between Great Britain and Nicar-
aqua before the present complications
are adjusted. Corinto one Of the Mica
raguan ports was occupied by the Eng
fish forces last Friday, pending the pay
ment of $4,000 indemnity demanded by
the English government in the matter
of the Hatch imbroglio. This is pos
sibility which is more than limited at by
our State Department officials and the
belief is gaining ground rapidly in the
diplomatic corps. 1t is positively known
the United States has received solemn
assurances from Great Britain that all
operations in Nicaragua will cease the
moment the indemnity is paid. Acting
on this assurance, President Cleveland
and Secretary Gresham have decided to
keep out of the dispute just SO long as
the assurances are justified by the stu
alton.
1t is the fact that Nicaragua does not
seem inclined to pay up that compli-
Gates the situation. President Zelaya.
it is said, is ready to make arrangements
to pay the money, but the popular feel
ing is against him. and the prospect is
Great Britain will have to proceed to ex-
tremities. At the State Department it
is believed the British commander has
received instructions to stand certain
amount of resistance to the payment
and then demand the money under pen
atty of a bombardment. Popular feel
ing in Nicaragua is strongly against
Great Britain, and it is believed that
the local government would precipitate
a revolution if it surrendered without
blow.

has been at work on the coast twenty
years, was offered for sale at Tacoma,
Wash, the other day Capt John Irving
B. c., was the highest bidder at $3.50.
The Treasury Department has rejected
the bid, but CD entirely unexpected
grounds. Advices from Washington say
under no circumstances, whether the
bid was high or low, would vessel of
this government be sold to aliens. Irv-
ing was formerly citizen of this country
but recently is said to have declared al

formerly manager of the Puget Sound

THE Paris Figaro has an important
article on the military organization of
France. 1t says: 1.-THE debate on the
war budget was long and thorough. 1t
developed all the theories that can be
professed in regard to the constitution
of armies. And what has been the re-
suit of this collision of controversies?
The demonstration that military power
solidly organized is incompatible with
the spirit Of republication! And as the
republican sentiment is in effect the
whole republic itself, inasmuch as it
governs it and runs through it. we must
me to the conclusion that France,
having and wishing to keep the republic
must resign herself to the loss of the
army.
1--WE have witnessed during the last
few years this progressive dissolution of
our military organization, and the time
is not far distant, perhaps. when the
army, if not abolished, will be swamped
in that democratic institution which is
called the National Guard. AS mat
ter of fact. such is the sentiment and
such is the wish of those republicans
who are really freed from the monarchi-
cal tradition"

THE heavy increase in the New York
reserve shown in the bank statement is
explained by bank officers as due alto

gold from Minneapolis and Duluth. This

1T is estimated by leading Wholesale
butchers in New York that the consump-
tion of beef has fallen off 80 per cent
since the recent advance in price. The
advance was only 10 per cent, but would
have been much more had the con-
sumption remained the same. The in
crease in price was all caused by condi-
tions in the West. OF the $4,000 cattle
used in New York city daily only 600 are
slaughtered there.

is notably the case with dogs. II some Of
the blood of q healthy dog and of a
healthy human being were given to an
expert, ne would probably have consider
able trouble telling which was which, as
the measurement test is the only safe
rule to 60 by. For this reason it is a
scientific impossibility to assert after
microscopic examin alton that certain
drops Of blood come from the body OF a
particular individual. There is practi-
cally no difference in the corpuscles of
healthy human blood, and the whole
thing becomes a matter of guesswork.
Yet some pretty positive assertions
were made by the scientist in the Henry
murder case. although he worked under
almost impossible conditions for correct
analysis. For instance, the blood exam
ined by him was nothing more than faint
stains on q shirt which had been washed.
The action OF water on red corpuscles is
to cause them to swell and sonnet ines
burst on account of the specific grav-
ity differences between blood and water.
This makes it a question whether there
were any blood corpusces at all upon
the shirt sleeve. and, even il there were,
thev would be so enlarged by the action
OF the water that by the measurement
test it would be impossible to say that
they belonged to human blood .

stated that he scraped the stained shirt
sleeve with a knife and then examined

and the police presumed that some OF it
fell upon the murderer during the strug-
giles which the old miser made before
giving up his life. They arrested William
and searched his clothing for blood
stains. Something that looked like blood
was found upon one of his shirt sleeves,
and the sleeve was removed and sent to

Weeks were spent by this gentleman in
examining the stains Ind eventually the
results obtained were made known. The
police hoped that he would fino that the

the stains came from a cut on his own
arm, which he had received some time
previous to the mudrer. A recent scar on
the arm corroborated in part his state

to the great unknown. August is sad

almost in a night she became an object
OF scorn and hate. Even her life was only
saved by fleeing in the night out of the

The causes of this war had been accu-
mulating ever since the victories of Ma
poleon in 1906. The possession by the
French of Metz, Strasburg and Lorraine
always rankled in the German bosom.
On the other hand, the part that Germany
played in the final overthrow of the first
Napoleon was sore spot in the French
anatomy. When Germany, in the war
with Denmark. seized Schieswig- Holstein
in 1864 and thesronting of Austria by
Prussia in 1866 intensified the French
feeling. The ascendency of Germany as
war power was not pleasant to the
French. Later when Bismarck outwitted

not be far off. Finally, when Spain's
throne in 1870 was made vacant by the
revolution of September, 1868, and the
crown was offered to Prince Leopold of
Hohenz ollern, the anger of the French
was intense. Leopold was never a serious
candidate for the Spanish throne, but
King William, as the head of the house of
Hohenz ollern, was not opposed to his ac-
cepting the offer. France claimed that
Germany was intriguing for the possess
ion of the Spanish throne, and. fearing
this accession to her rival strength, took
immediate steps to have the matter
made plain.
The French minister to Germany called
upon King William and asked him to
promise that he would never sanction
Leopolds accession to the Spanish
throne. The king refuseu. Later the
French minister sought another inter-
view. but the king even refused to see
him. The French minister, greatly

was insu!ted, and through Bismarck the
king was asked for an apology Bis

issue, SAID such a request was absurd,

king. .By this time affairs were at fever

met some French troopers, and in the

He was the first officer to be killed in the

on the Rhenish Prussian frontier, near
the ancient city of Treves. On July seth
the French began the attack, but were
repulsed. On August 81 the battle was
renewed, with the emperor and the little
prince imperial in the battlefield. Here
for the first time the mitrailleuse was
used by the French. This cannon was
crude form OF the GaJing gun. 1t had
twenty-five barrels, loaded at the breech
with cartridges, and could be operated
with great Iapidty. Great damage was
done by these guns, and the French
earned a omparatively easy victory.
