GERMANY REBuKEs GREED.
Says the United states Are Taking
the Last Drop Of Blood.

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE news that the
United States now demands the whole oi
the Philippine Islands has created much
interest here. The German newspapers
comment unfarorsbly upon it.
The Cologne Gazette says "The inter
ests OF Germany will be especially injured
by the American annexation, as the pol
ley OF the open door which has hitherto
eigned under the Spanish flag will be
quickly ended. Moreover, the American
demand from a humane point Of view i.
unheard of. 1t means the squeezing of q
fallen foe to the last drop of blood, and
would sully the nan : Of the victor. The
whole sympathies OF the world would be
on the side of SiNin, brutally ground
down by her enemy"
National Zeitung points out that the
Philippine islands would, in American
hands, become not only of immense COM
nercial, but OF paramount importance,
(which all of the powers thpt have become
interested in the far east are bound to
seriously consider
Therefore, the National Zeitung thinks
some power may oppose the change OF
ownership.
The yossiche Zeitung lectures the
United States for its alleged greed and
the Deutsche Zeitung describes the Unit
ed States demands as an unfortunate te
piece of characteristic Yankee impudence,
and calls on Europe to put its foot down
while there is yet time.
The government Of Germany and the
semi-oflicial newspapers have been silent
or extremely cautious. But it is quite
evident that Germany win not interfere
in the settlement OF the Philippine ques-
tion, nor even encourage interference up
on the part OF others, and il is under
stood that this has been intimated to the
Spanish government.

BRUTAL CRIME IN PORTLAND
Italian Bootblack Murdered by Foul
Ffeuds Within the City.

Portland, Ore, Nov. Within the
city limits of Portland one OF the most
fiendish crimes imaginable was discovered
about noon Saturday. The victim wits
Angelo Sericko, an Italian bootblack Ia
years old, upon whom first nameless as-
sault was committed and who was then
dragged to his death by his assailants.
Sericko's body, scratched and bruised,
from being dragged and with marks OF the
rope still around his neck, was found in
an orchard on East Burnside street be-
tween Twentieth and Twenty-frst street,
The boy had not returned home the pre-
vious night and his family, who live
within 200 feet OF, tue place where the
body was found, had been alarmed by his
absence and early in the morning the
father, mother, sister and younger broth
er started out to search for him. For
several hours their efforts were unavail-
ing and they returned home when the
younger brother, a lad Of o years, almost
stumbled over his brothers body, lying
face downward on the grass. Its ap-
pearance left no doubt as to the manner
OF death. The clothing was torn almost
off, the neck showed traces OF tightly
drawn rope-and also evidences OF having
been dragged.
A post mortem examination revealed
the fact that death had resulted from
strangplation and that an unspeakabic
crime had been committed before the
murder. II seems probable that more than

Mr.. THURSTON'S DEPARTURE
Happy Over the End of the Fight fol
Annexation,
He Holds That Hawaii Has Beoom.
Part of the Union and He an
American Citizen.

Mr.. Lorcin, A. Thurston, formerly minis
ter from Hawaii to the United States, left
Washington, today for San Francisco
where he will take steamer for the newly
annexed American territory. Mr.. Thurs ton
was justifably happy he made his prep
arations for his exit from the scene of his
untiring exertions for many months in the
interest of union. The vote on the New
lands resolution in the Senate the other
cay, while long expected, was, nevertheless
suddenly reached, and not much time was
given to those who expect to participate
in the annexation ceremonies in Honolulu
to make ready for the long journey.
Mr.. Thurston was proud to have become
an American citizen. When a Star reporter
saw him on the eve of his going he said:
L became citizen of this republic at
three minutes past O'Clock last evening
When President Mckinley signed the joint
resolution of annexation. There has been
some talk about the necessity of Joint ac-
ton by the legislature of Hawaii to ratify
the work of the American Congress, but
thls Is not well founded, according TO the
2uthorltleS OF the State Department Had
the Senate ratified the treaty of anuexa-
ton, which had already been ratified by
the Hawaiian legislature, the action would
IN Itself have completed the union of the
two nations But the Senate instead passed
the legislative measure and it was thought
by some that it would then be necessary
for Hawaii to follow with a corresponding
enactment.
Il have been told by those at the State
department who have studied the matter,
that this government considers that the
Presidents action of last evening was suf-
hcient to make Hawaii American territory
and that it is not essential that Hawaii
should take further action in the prem
ises. If Hawaii should wish to pass legis-
latively upon the joint resolutions of
course this would make the transaction
more formal and would probably be more
satisfactory from historical point of
view. This is likely to be DONE but we
wEo We're formerly Hawaiians do not need
TO wait for such action before becoming
your fellow-citizens We are proud to be
such.
1T has been a long, hard fight, and I
think The Star deserves unstinted praise
and credit for it's share in the work 1t
has been strong and stanch in its ad-
Vocacy OF annexation from the start, and
Hawaii and the United States are indebt-
eo 10 1t and other papers of this country
for the glorious service they have rem
dered in behalf of union'
In parting a suggestion was iocuIarIy
advanced that there was slight danger
mat the Hawaiians would throw Mr..
Ihurston out of the country when he got
pack to Hawaii. The former minister
laughed and replied that he thought he
would probably be permitted to land upon
his return.

INSPECTION OF FLOUR.
Bill Reported to the House by tn
District Committee.

District Committee.
The House committee on the District of
Columbia has faVorably reported a bill Is.
334D for the inspection of -four in the Dis
trict. The report on the bill says
This bill is substantially existing law,
but two new points being covered. When
the law was passed by the legislative as
sembly in 1871 flour was packed in barrels
and half barrels, but not in sacks. Now
very large amount of the flour that comes
to the District is packed in either jute or
paper sacks, and thus escapes inspection.
Merchants who buy flour, on appealing to
the inspector for a certificate as to the
proper weight and purity, find that there
is no law which permits him to inspect flour
IN sacks. In one lot of -four received into
the District of Columbia a short time since
the underweight amounted to five barrels,
purchasers in the District, who paid foI,
more flour than they received.
he law as it now stands permits per-
sons to buy flour fer their own use with
out inspection. Under this provision bak-
ers buy for their own use in making bread
them. h-'''di
These are the only new points covered
by the bill. The other changes in the law
are merely changes in phraseology to make
the law somewhat clearer and to accom-
modate the law to the fact that George
corporation. The number of inspectors has
also been reduced from three to two, and
In some cases the fees have been reduced.

Three of the torpedo bpat destroyers that

ippines have returned. Our secret agents
in Europe have discovered them lying at
an obscure little port called Faro. in south
ern Portugal, in a good place tc run irto
the Mediterranean or up to Cadiz upon the
appearance of an enemy, while in the
meantime serving well jas scouting boats.
Nothing further has bean heard from Ca
mara's squadron since yesterdays report.
and therefore it is officially assumed that

eastward through the Red sea to the Phil
ippines, aj
1t is said here that so far as officially
known, Val les, the reported agent OF
Aguinaldo in London, made his published
statement as to the future of the Philip
pines absolutely without authorization.
Consequently all that he says as to inde
pendence based on Cuban models and other
things relating to the future government
of the islands have no basis in the shape
OF official agreements Admiral Dewey has
expressly stated to the Navy Department
tEat he has had no official intercourse with
Aeuinaldo, so that our government cannot
be said to have been bound by the admir-
al action.
