CIVIL WAR IN SAMOA.
HIGH-t+ANDEo PROCEEDINGS OF THE
GERMAN CONSUL

Encourages Mataafe's Followers and
Takes Possession of the Coart House.
American and British Marines Gust
Him-Further Details of the Fighting.
Auckland, N. T., says the British and
American consuls were compelled to
force the doors of the supreme court at
Apia, Samoa, in which the, German
consul had confined himself, and to
push him into the street. All parties at
Apia unite in condemning the German
consul for the fighting which has taken
place between the rival kings. 1t is
pointed out that in violation of all
agreements. the consul accompanied
Mataafe's forces when the claimants in
vaded the town and encouraged the OPP
position to, Malietoa Tanus.
Further particulars regarding the dis
turbances show Mataafe's followers
numbered about 5000 men and that the
about 1,OG0'in number. There was two
hours fighting between the rival forces,
during which several of the warriors
were decapitated. The American con-
sui issued proclamation asserting that
the Berlin treaty had the same: force as
a law of congress and that an insult
to the supreme court of Samoa is, there
fore, equivalent to an insult to the gov.
eminent at Washington.
BERLFN, Jan. 2O.-The news from
Samoa Mas been received with fore
boding The I.okal Anzeiger says:
"All thiS. doubtless, signifies an appre-
ciable quarrel and with the unceremo-
niousness which the Americans have
affected toward US recently it may cas-
lily take a serious turn"
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The navy de-
partment has prepared orders for the
cruiser Phi adelphia to proceed to Sa-
moa at once to represent the United
States interests there. The Philadel-
pbia is due at San Diego next Sunday
from Acapulco.

the vicinity of PhiEatria were COM
pletely destroyed, many people being

parissia and Staso were also practically

yet whether there were any t-ictins
there. Much damage to property was
done at Navadino and considerable loss
is reported from Calamata.
The shock was severely felt in the
district of Zante. capital of the Ioniar

Horses are very subject to nasal catarrh,
and it is a widely prevalent belief among
coachmen that if a horse goes into a fresh
stable, and especially if horse which has
been out at grass goes into "a stable with
other horses, it will be most likely to de-
velop a cold; so, too, it is noticed, win
horses bought at a fair, and this is popu-
larly attributed to the drafts to which
they have been exposed As it is admitted,
however, that any other horses which may
have been in the stable generally catch
this cold from the newcomer surely it is
more reasonable to suppose that the latter
has in like manner received the infection
from some of its neighbors while on sale
A medical friend of the writer lately
made an interesting experiment. He has
two horses and has Been in the habit of
turning one out for the summer months
When he brought it in again for the win
ter, it used invariably to develop severe
cold. Coachmen will tell you that this is
due to the unaccustomed warmth of the
stable, which makes the animal mesh. -
Last year, however, before bringing in his
horse the doctor had his stable thorough
ly disinfected and lime washed and put no
other horse into it. The one which came
in from grass then remained perfectly free
from any symptoms of catarrh. Spectator

1t will come as n surprise, says The
Genealogical Magazine, perhaps even as a
shock, TO most people to learn that there
is a real house of lords in the United
States 1t is situated in the state of New
Jersey, and its members, although citizens
of the United States, are, at the same
time, vassals of her majesty. Charles II
gave to his brother James the land which
is now New Jersey, and James in his turn
gave the land to 10 of his friends, with a
deed of grant creating them and their de-
scendants lords.
Tho lords meet twice every year in Perth
Amboy, in little two roomed house erect
ed on the site of the first meeting house,
which was erected in 1886. They are sum
moned by crier with bell, dressed after
the manner of beefeater. His summons
begins with the usual Hear ye, hear ye,
hear ye-all manner of men to whom these
presents do oome--that in pursuance of his
majesty King Charles, etc The lords,
who have been waiting in the outer room,
then proceed to the inner or council cham
ber, where their deliberations are presided
over by the lord president.
