German Military Honor.

"An officer who permits himself to be insulted by civilian without inn mediately killing him will be dis missed. !" This is one of the unwritten clauses in the code of honor obtaining in the corps of German officers. If the insulter is not satisfactionsfahig (ca- pablo of giving satisfaetionI-thatis Is to say, if he belong to the classes who are not wont to fight duels then the officer must immediately draw his sword and cut him down or kill him on the spot with any other weapon These laws are nowhere to be found written. yet they are strictly obeyed. At Augsburg an officer in private clothes recently res ceived blow on the face, without hav- ing given any cause of offense. from an impudent business clerk It chanoed that the officer had revolver with him. He, however, made no use of 1t, nor did he challenge the clerk. whom he regard ed as unworthy of meeting in duel. Instead of taking either of these steps he had recourse to the courts of justice, with the result that his assailant was sentenced to 12 days imprisonment. Thereupon the regimental officers court of honor assembled and compelled the officer to hand in his resignation be- cause he had not adequately upheld the dignity of an offioer's rank. -Pall Mall Gazette.

Special Dispatch 10 the Post-Iatelllgencer.
TACOMA, Feb 17-This morning a
strike went into effect among the ~ en-
ployes OF the Tacoma Mill Company, and
the big institution was forced TO shut
down from lack Of skilled workmen. Al
present seven vessels are moored ct the
docks OF the mill awaiting cargoes and
the completion OF cargoes already begun
10 be loaded.
The first move Of the men was made
yesterday, when late in the afternoon the
yardmen made a demand for an increase
OF > cents i day, anu declared Their in
tention Of walking out should their
quest be not granted. They have been
drawing $50 per cay and demanded si.s1
This morning when the usual : o'c-och
whistle was blown none OF the 30 en-
ployes appeared fer duty, and il was then
known the strike Was general and was on
IN earnest.
Meetings OF the men have been held
today. resulting in general committee
being named. which waited upon Manager
William Hanson This committee was not
permitted 10 lay the matter before the
manager. who ordered the men from his
Office. This was reported back to the men
in session, who thei eater held secret
meeting 10 discuss the situation and de-
eide upon the course TO be pursued. Taey
do not give out the details OF the meet
ing but have no hesstancy in saving they
have agreed 10 hold out for 4 raise.
The men claim that times are generally
improved and that they are entitled TO an
increase Of wages and that the company
has raised the prices of the supplies sold
to the men in consequence. They say
that at the Blakeley mill the lowest wages
paid is So a month and board. while here
the men receive 81 month and board
fer ten hours work each twenty--iX days.
Their demand is a general increase OF -
cents a day 10 each employe regardless
OF his position.
Manager Hanson states he hopes 10 have
the mill running tomorrow, having sent
TO near by mill towns for employees. He Is
determined in his view OF the trouble.
and VIII not. he says, accede to the de-
mands of the men. He explains that
many of the skilled workrnen have not
entered on the strike and that he does
not expect much trouble TO find all the
men no needs. lie will permit any of the
men TO return to work. excepting the ring
leaders who have caused the strike He
claims the men are receiving the same
wages are paid at the other mills, and
that when other mills advance the rate
he too VIII follow IN line.
The psan-ng Uk'l attachment TO the
main mill is still keps running. The en-
ployes in this department have as Yet
shown no dissatisfaction.
\ runlor Is current that the employees Of
the st. Paul and Tacoma Mil Company
will follow the action Of the men at tho
Tacoma mill. and are liable TO walk on.

confirmed. and as yet nothing Is known of
