cions are expressed within the circles of
the German Colonial party that the Brit
ish are fomentlng the trouble which has
arisen in German East Africa, into which
the wawemba tribe has made inroads
from English territory. More serious
than this, however, is the rising of the
Wahehe tribe, which has rebuilt the fort
at Kwikura, which the Germans had pre-
viously destroyed, and has also driven the
small detachments of German troops there
out of the country.
An expedition consisting OF 200 men has
been sent to punish the Wahehes, and il
this measure is not successful Baron Won
Wissmann, the Governor OF German East
Africa, who is now in Berlin, will return

Loss OF LrFE AND PROPERTY.

Disastrous Results of the Gale Along the
North Sea Coast.
BERLIN, GERMANY, Sept. 29.-The gale
which prevailed on Friday and Saturday
caused great damage to property and con-
siderable loss of life along the North Sea
coast and far inland. The river Elbe rose
twelve feet on Friday, as a result of which
the cellars of many buildings near the
river were flooded and scores OF vessels
were carried away from their moorings.
The river Ems was also forced over its
banks and thousands of acres of land were
submerged. A barge was capsized by the
force OF the wind in the upper Elbe and
six persons were drowned.

The Amnesty Association to Care for
Those Recently Released From
EnqEsh Prisons.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 27.-At a
meeting of the Irish-American Amnesty
Association this afternoon communities
ton from the Irish Prisoners Fund Asso-
citation was read, in which the latter body
announced its withdrawal from the con-
ference formed for the taking charge OF
the political prisoners who have arrived
here, together with the reply announcing
that the Amnesty ASSOCIATION intended 10
continue to care for the prisoners in this
country, was presented for action.
After discussion it was decided TO hold
demonstration in the Grand Opera
house on October 25 to express indigna-
ton at the treatment of Irish prisoners in
English prisons, and to awaken sentiment
which shall induce interference in behalf
OF the prisoners still remaining there
A motion that committee be appointed
to have charge of the caretaking of Thomas
Gallagher and Albert Whitehead, two po-
htlcal prisoners who recently arrived here
was opposed on the ground that it looked
like an effort to get control of the two in
sane men.
1t was considered that the motion was a
Jump in the dark. This argument was
met by the statement that money had
been received from Ireland for them and
other money had been contributed here,
and it seemed proper that a responsible
committee should be appointed to take
charge of the fund.
1t was further said in support of the
plan that an inquiry from Ireland as to
how the prisoners were getting on or what
was being done with them could not be re-
piled to.
Even the mem bers of Mr.. Whitehead's
family had been unable to tell where Mr..
Whitehead was when an inquirer had
called at their house.
Finally E. +. MeCrystal, P. J. Byrnes,
Q. J. Reilly and James F. Egan were ap-
point ted committee to care for the men.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, September 27.-
Professor Ladd, head of the department
af psychology at Yale. occupied the COL
lege pulpit to-day. His sermon was a Sc
we're censure of selishness.
Professor Ladd scored the advocates OF
a high protective tariff and the silver
men. He dwelt on the selfishness of the
politics of to-day. His opinion was that if
the silver-mine owners confessed that their
main anxiety was to sell their silver at a
profit of 40 per cent, and not for the work
ing classes, whom they professed to cham
pion, their followers would soon leave
them. This remark caused something of
a stir, and the reference to the silverites
was the talk of the campus to-day.
