A Revolving Custom.

News was brought by the Calabar,
which arrived at Liverpool from
West Africa, that at AKIN, Gold
Coast, sworn deposition had been
made before District Commissioner
d. X. Mcdowell, by Sames Erskine,
chief of Attuaboe, in the AKIN dis
trict. The chief states that by native
custom the tenth child Of every fam
lily is killed by being buried alive,
or stranglsd or drowned. The mo-
Their is put away in a hut, which is
open at both ends, and when the
child is born it is taken from her
and put to death. Thousands of
children, the chief states, have been
in this way killed, but owing to the
powerful influence which the fetish
priests haze over the people, as we'll
as the peoples own superstitious
belief, it is impossible for the auth
critics to get information OF the
murders, The chief declares tn at
in his opinion nothing short of
stringent legislation can stop the
wholesale slaughter Ed.

called the "bite of siu," and, whe N

corpse, which some stroller.by is
persuaded to eat for good sum of

that the sins Of the dead are trans

The statement that Germany had officially
inquired Of Great Britain what steps the
latter Government intended to take In regard
TO the invasion Of the Transvaal by the Brit
ish South Africa Company is confirmed. A
despatch from Berlin says that the Emperor
has sent the following cable despatch to Paul
Kruger, President Of the South African Re-
public: II express my sincere congratulations
that, supported by your people, and with
out appealing for help to friendly Powers,
you have succeeded by your energetic action
against the armed bands which invaded your
country as disturbers Of the peace, and have
thus been enabled to restore peace and to
safeguard the Independence OF your country

Attitude of European Papers.

The London Standard says that Emperor
Willia-as message is strikingly unfriendly
act It raises the presumption that hvwishes
to either challenge or destroy British suzer-
ainty in the Transvaal. Great Britain can
not and will not tolerate the slightest inter-
ference between the Transvaal and herself.
The paper dilates upon German hostility to
Great Britain everywhere.
The London Chronicle says: ''The En-
peror's message comes near being an offer Of
armed assistance" The London Times
says: "The Emperor's message is OF very
grave import. All the available evidence
shows that he intended to give unqualified
recognition to the Transvah as an inde-
pendent State" The London Morn
ing Post draws the deduction
from Emperor Williams telegram that His
Majesty considers war with Great Britain
within the limits OF possibility. and that he
has settled the preliminaries with view
thereto. The Post advises Great Britain to
concentrate feet by recalling the Mediter-
ranean squadron now in the Levant to join
the Channel squadron.
The Paris press are jubilant over the de-
feat OF DR.. Jameson and his followers by the
Beers near johannesburg. The Rappel says
that Germany, France and Russia are in
accord, ami asks what England will DO
In the circumstances. "Having the United
States already on her hands" the paper
asks, "will she dare to defy the mill
tary Powers of Europe?" The LGnterne
says: "Great Britain's contention chat for
eign Powers have no right to intervene in
the Trausvaal is neither more nor less than
the application OF the Monroe doctrine, pure
and simple. to her own advantage"

tIoa favor the Beers, and the attitude OF their

SIX LIVES LOST.
j. n. Hibbard, His Wife, Two Children and
Two Nieces Kilied In an Explosion.

J.. n. Hibbard, His Wife, Two Children and
Two Nieces Killed in an Explosion.
Six lives were lost in mysterious fire at
half-past O'Clock a. m. In the residence OF
John e. Hibtard, In Columbus, Ohio.
The dead are John b. Hibbard and his
wife, Dorothy and Alien Hibbard, their chill
dren, three aud five years old respectively,
and Mrs. Charles Lee and Miss Fay Hibbard,
Of BarnesYille, Ohio. The latter were nieees
of Mr.. Hibbard, and were spending the holi.
days with the Hibbard family.
The house was heated with natural gas by
means Of furnace. The fire probably re-
suited. from an explosion OF gas. It 1s
thought the gas in the furnace, which was
burning low. .fiickered out, and then gradu-
ally filled the house and ignited from burn
ing gas let. There does not seem to have
been much explosive force, however, as the
walls are not shattered In the least. Several
plumbers have examined the house. and say
the fire did not result from natural gas ex.
plosion.
Mr., Hibbard was a well-known business
man, and was the Secretary and Manager OF
the Central Ohio Natural Gas and Fuel Com
pany, which controls the natural gas supply.
Mrs. Lee was the wife of Charles Lee, editor
Of the Barnesyille (Ohio) Enterprise. They
were married two years ago. She leaves
baby six months old, which she did not
bring to Columbus with her. Mr.. Lee ar
rived there at noon. The unfortunate family
was extensively related throughout Ohio.

The vessel will not depend entirely on the
introduction of water to descend. She is
provided with vertical screws for sinking
perpendicularly when she Is at rest. When
steaming at full speed she can dive oblique-
ly beneath the waves, by means Of her hori-
zontal rudders, which can be placed at any
desired angle in a few seconds.
Between the smokestack and the turret is
a small water-tight tube, which carries tel

captain can note everything on the surface
for miles around his vessel, while the craft
herself IS three feet under water.
