John Bull Is Confident That His Great
Buster and Show of Strength has
Cooled or the Fiery Young War Lord of
Gernany-visfans OF Future Trouble.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-1nterest in the
Transvaal question in its immediate
bearings has revived to an appreciable
extent, while the Incidental straining
of relations between Great Britain and
Germany, which SO completely placed
the Beers In the background of the
picture for a time, has, in its turn, re-
coded, but by no means disappeared.
There is little apprehension of war
with Germany, over the present COM
plication, at least, and the British
public has a reassuring sense that if
there is to be war, England is quite
ready for it. The prompt and efficient
measures of the naval authorities. and
the formidable show of strength that
is the result, give John Bull a feeling
of confidence
There are no further explicit an
nOuncements of movements looking to
an alliance of the powers against Eng
land to-day. Nevertheless, it is kcenly
perceived by the public that the senti-
ment displayed by the German gov
eminent has far wider bearing than

UNITED STATES THANKED.

English Government Organ Bears Testi-
mony of Uncle Sans Magnanimity.
LONDON, Jan. I3.-The Standard,
conservative government organ says:
1.-The cabinet on Saturday decided
to publish the Venezuela papers at the
earliest possible moment.
I'VE gladly take this opportunity to
bear testimony to the magnanimous
attitude OF the American nation to us
at a time when communities less gen
erous thought a favorable opportunity
had arisen for adopting toward us a
tone of insult, if not of menace. This
conduct was worthy of the Americans
and has materially Influenced Lord
Salisbury's decision.
The maintenance OF friendship
with America is always first consid-
Grafton with England. We say this to
the Amirican people with the absolute
candor of deep seated cordiality."

TOPEKA, Kan. Jan i3.-,Iudge Z. 3.
Spillman of Manhattan, sitting as
special judge of the Shawnee county
district court, last night decided the
case of the widow of Leland ]. Webb
against the A. o. q. w. for her hus-
bands life insurance, against the
plaintiff. Webb had been suspended
for non-payment of an assessment
and after his death the claim was set
up that he was insane at the time of
his delinquency and therefore not re-
sponsible. The court holds that pay
ment of life insurance premium is a
matter in which the beneficiarieS of a
policy are as much interested as the
insured, and their neglect to pay in
the case of insanity or other disability
of the insured is fatal to the contract
The case will be taken to the supreme
