The presidents proclamation will go
into effect on the morning of January
., after which the vessels of Germany
entering our ports must pay shipping
charges ranging or a sliding scale of
from six to thirty cents a ton per an.
num-.
The president mentions the fact that
his proclamation of January 26, 1888,
suspended the collection of the whole
of the duty of six cents per ton, or not
to exceed thirty cents per ton, upon
German vessels entering the ports of
the United Stats, according to section
IL, act of congress, approved June 10,
1886. This suspension was proclaimed
upon the proof appearing satisfactory
that no tonnage or lighthouse dues or
any equivalent tax or taxes whatever
were imposed upon American vessels
entering German ports, and that Ger.
mar vessels and their cargoes were not
required in German ports to pay any
fee or imp ort duty higher or other than
was payable by German vessels or their
cargoes in the United States, as an.
nounced in the aforesaid proclamation
of 1888. The suspension was to con.

Continuing, the president says il
now appears upon satisfactory proof,
that such dues or an equivalent thereto
are imposed upon American vessels an6

AN OLD QUARREL.
Five Persons MortalIy Wounded In \
Kentucky Fight.

So"
Middlesboro, KY, Dec. News
has reached here of a fatal encounter
in Letcher county yesterday, in which
William Harrison, along with his SONS
Henry and James, all of whom were
very strong partisans of John d. White,
the independent Republican candidate
for congress in the Eleventh district,
against the regular nominee, d. @.
Colson, engaged in a deadly fight with
William Morgan and his sons, Caleb
and Thomas, all supporters of Colson.
The Morgans were going to the mill,
and met the Harrisons in the road.
They began their old quarrel over the
merits of White and Colson, and soon
began shooting at each other. The
battle lasted several minutes, and over
a score of shots we're fired.
Old man Morgan fell mortally
wounded at the first fire. When all
was over, the two Morgan boys lay
dead and the two Harrison boys proba'
bly wounded fatally. Harrison, the
father, escaped without a wound,
though there we're several bullet holes
in his clothes. The elder Harrison
surrendered to the authorities, and
stated that the Morgans brought on thu
difficulty, and that he and his SON
fred in self-defense.
There was no connection whatever
between this affair and Colson beinl
mistaken on the railway train by al
angry father, supposing him to be tn
mar who eloped with his daughter.

Man In Her Room.
Portland, Or, Dec. Mrs. E. K.
Liddy of this city, made a plucky cap
ture at 1880 o'clock this morning of an
aged sneakthief, who was in the act of
breaking into her house. She was
eating lunch upstairs with a woman,
when she thought she heard a window
raised in n of the side rooms, down
stairs, and, rushing down, she opened
a door just in time to see a man, who
was half-inside an open window, make
a hurried exit.
The street door was near at hand,
and Mrs. Liddy, who is a muscular
woman, ran out just in time to see the
thief running up the street. The
woman ran after him and caught him.
"What dyer want?" exclaimed the
thief, at the same time trying to break
away from the woman, who had hold
of his collar. 81 want you," answered
Mrs. Liddy, as she took a firmer hold
and began walking her prisoner back
to the house.
A woman in the house telephoned
the police station, and when the patrol
wagon arrived, Mrs. Liddy turned her
prisoner over 20 Officer Nicolai.

Mr.. Cleveland's message con-
tains the glad tidings that the
grand ideal of mutual friendship
between Great Britain and the
United States-a treaty of arbitra-
ton for the settlement of all dis
putes-is likely soon to be a fixed
verify. The realization now many
years longed for will give more
assurance of peace to the Western
Hemisphere than all the open
alliances and secret compacts of
the Old World will do for the
Eastern Hemisphere. About all
the disputes that arise between
the two powerful Anglo-Saxon
Powers have their origin on this
side of the globe, and if any of
them came to blows the dire con-
hict would be waged in the same
division.
