HAY Fl AND CHINA
Afford Food For Discussion in German News
 papers-StrenuouS Measures Urged.

London, Nov. 1.-The Berlin ccrre- spondent of the Times says: Net only the radical but the clerical journals are of the opinion that the conflict with the republic of Hayti and the attack of the missionaries in China will be used to influence German public feeling in favor of extensive naval plans. Conservative e journals, meanwhile, continue to urge thu government to take prompt action for reparation in Haytt
 The Neueste Nachrichten considers the action of Hayt not only an offense to the dignity of Germany, but an insult to Emperor William.
 The insinuation in the document pub lished in the Haytien newspaper, Moni- teur, that Germany had been acting as if she contemplated protectorate of Hayti, is described as ruse to excite the mistrust of other powers, especially the United States.
 It is said in official circles that the government is considering sending an imperial minister to Port -au-Prlnce with the German Warships. s.

MINISTRY RESIGNS.
Differences Between High Officials Cause the
 Cabinet to Go Out.

St. Johns, N. F., Nov. 16.-The minis try, headed by Sir William Whiteway, formally resigned office tonight. Be- fore resigning Sir William Whiteway wished to fill all vacancies in the civil service with his defeated supporters and their followers, but Sir Herbert Murray, governor of Newfoundland, refused to sanction any permanent appointments, and consented only to authorize acting appointees. The governor was impelled to this determa nation by the pledge of the incoming Winter cabinet to reduce the number of officeholders. He refused therefore to create any vested rights by
 agreeing to permanent appointments. The cabinet of Sir James Winter will as- sume office at noon tomorrow, and fol- lowing the precedent created by the con- troversy between Lord Aberdeen, gov ernor general of the Dominion of Can ada, and Sir Charles Tupper, while premier last year. will insist upon the cancelling of all these appointments.

A SEVERE PENALTY
Will Be Meted Out To South Africans By
 the French.

| Paris, Nov. 16.--A special dispatch to the Journal brings serious news from the West Niger region. In order to punish l the inhabita nts of Kong. capital of the Kingdom of Kong, in the Upper Guinea region, for their refusal to supply his troops with provisions, Chief SamoreH has razed the town and massacred sev- eral thousand natives.
 For several weeks the French news papers have been calling upon the gov- ernnlent to send a punitive expedition
 against Chief Samorey. who on Aug. P.
 last, surprised and fought French de-
 tlchment of native troops sent to occupy
 tho territory which he had offered to evacuate. Two of the French officers and forty-four men were killed. Kong is a rich fertile settlement of the French ivory coast. -, If the special to the Journal is con- frmed the French government will have no alternative to send & punitive expedi- tion, as the French press has been gurg-
 ing it to undertake.
 Samorey, who is otherwise known as
 Sarnadu, and who was formerly known
 as the West African AIalhdi,' is a Hippo
 Tlb on a large scale, and a large slave
 huntsr. He first came Into contact With the French in 1882, and in the two years war which followed he was repeatedly defeated In the latter paa,t of 1884 fe ran his slave raids far to tfs south into Sulimana, capturing and destroying Fallaba, the capital of Sulimana, and the greai5 emporium for the trans-Niger trade. A vast tract of country was de- vastated, thousands of natives were slain. thousands more wers sold into | slavery, and the country was so de- populated that trade came to a Standstill and the colony of Sierra Leone was re- | duced to the verge of bankruptcy. These | conquests brought Samorey fresh access l sion of strength, and in 1885 he again | commenced operations against inc l French provinces on the north Two severe defeats have, however, brought | him to terms, and in February, 1887, he signed a treaty of peace with ths French | in which he recognized that the river | Niger was the boundary between ii.s ter ritory and that of the French.

FORCE OF ARMS

 Satisfy Austro- Hungary.

London, Nov. 17.-It now appears ithat the statement made yesterday in a spe- cial dispatch from Vienna that the Turk dsh government. in reply to the demands of Baron de Calice, the Austro-Hungar ian ambassador to the porte, had agreed to salute the Austrian flag, after dismiss ing the vahi of Adana and the matessaril of Merslna, for indignbties offered to the Austrian brazzofolh, was prema turle. The porte qras nut yet yielded to the Austrian demands Dispatches from Vienna announce that up to midnight Tuesday no intimation had been received of fhe Intention of the Turkish govern ment to dismiss the offending officials or to saiute the flag. If. however, the Austrian demands are not csmplied With by moon tomorrow CEhursday) Baron de Calico will leave Constantrnople and the Austrian warsh.ps will lombard Mer- sina
 The Vienna correspondent of the Times says: '1t is now expected that the sulta n will hold out until the last moment and then yield, which may appear to him a clever stroke of diplomacy and some thing for the Turkish official press to boast of as a semi-victory of the pad .sha over the Christian powers. Eventually however it is as likely as not to prove an unm tigated blunder, the onssquenc s of which will become manifest in the course of time.
 'Abdul Hamid is evidently just now in a frame of mind calculated to inspire serious concern. His easy victory over the Greeks. together with the indulgence he was accustomed to expect from Ger many until lately, completely turned his head.
 ''The Neue F'reie Presse says that Baron de Calico has seized the oppor- tunity of demanding from the porte of binding assurances respecting the Aus trian company, which works the Oriental railways. and relative to which repre- sentations have already been made re- peatedly at Cons taptinople.

ALITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
 Scrofulous Humors How a Cure
 Was Effected.
 "When five years old my little boy had scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. It appeared in the form of red pimples which would lester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused . intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted an improve ment in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out of his blood and 1t has never since returned" WILLIAM BARTz, 418 South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.
