That Is the Terse Way That Count Won
Buelow Puts 1t.
Berlin, Dec. n.-During the debate on
the estimates in the reichstag to-day
Count Won Buelow, the minister of for
eign affairs, reiterated the terms of
the various agreements for partition
ing Samoa between the United States
and Germany, for repeating the Sa-
moan act and for submitting to arbi-
tration the losses resulting from unjus-
tifiable military action on the part Of
officers belonging to either of the three
states. He said that after assent of
the United States and the bundesrath
bills ratifying the treaty would be sub
mitted. In the meanwhile he hoped the
reichstag would not discuss the matter
He added that no increase in next
years imperial budget would arise from
the supplemental estimates for Samoa.
Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial chan
cellor, then announced that the federal
government had come to the conclusion
that the present navy was insufficient
for the countrys needs and that esti-
mates for doubling the present number
of warships would be submitted.
He added that the period within
which the increase of the new navy
would be affected was not to be liked
by law, the number of new ships to be
provided for annually in the estimates
urgency requirements.
Count Won Buelow, in supporting the
proposed increase of the navy, said:
1.-THE president Of the United States,
in his message, expressed himself con-
corning the good relations between the
United States and ourselves with a
warmth that fills us with sincere sat
isfaction. AS far as Great Britain is
concerned we are willing and ready to
live in peace and concord with her on
the basis of full reciprocity and recipro-
cal consideration"
Count Won Buelow also justified the
increase in the navy from a political
point of view and declared Germany's
policy had always maintained an even
course between neglecting and overdo-
ing transatlantic interests.
Abiding to the warlike changes and
revolutions of the last few years, he
said:
I'VE must be assured against sur
prise, not only on land, but at sea. We
must create and possess fleet strong
enough to exclude attack by any pow
err, and I emphasize attack, for in the
absolute peacefulness of our policy it
can never be other than a question of
defense. Germany's foreign policy is
neither covetous, restless, nor fancful.
''In the coming century the German
people must be either the hammer or
the anvil. In the name of the coun-
try's best interest I entreat your favor

A Dog with spectaoies.

Monsieur Blum relates that being
somewhat fond of the chase, he was
presented by a friend with a magniti-
cent hunting dog. This animal proved
to have the great qualities of a dog Of
that profession; his scent was keen
and discriminating he was obedient,
brave, not in the least gun-shy, and
would retrieve to perfection. He had
indeed, but one fault, and that was
serious. In coursing through the woods
he often ran against trees, and in the
house would strike against chairs.
tables, doors, and other objects which
came in his way. His owner wondered
what could be the matter with him.
and took him TO a veterinary. This
man kept the dog few weeks, and re-
turned him with his bill, and the in
formation that he was near-sighted.
"He needs pair of glasses" said the
veterinary, with a grin. The advice
was good, and the dogs master acted
upon ii at once. lie had a pair Of
sufficiently large lences made and
adapted to the dogs wear by an in"
genious artisan. The bows Of the
glasses went round the animals ears,
and were securely fastened there At
first the dog was much surprised at
these instruments and tried to get
them Off Soon, however, it seemed to
dawn upon him what they were for,
and he then wore them with great
pride and satisfaction. The dog ap-
peared to gain every advantage from
his glasses which human beings gain
from theirs. He often went hunting
after, not depending on his scent. One
day, alas! the dogs owner went to
hunt with him in a wood where there
were wild boars. The dog came upon
one Of those ferocious creatures and
valiantly attacked him. In the midst
of the combat the boar drove his tusk
through the glasses, and not only this
but so filled the poor dogs eyes with
the fragments of glass that from that
time he was totally blind.-LondoD

Dor Wins Lion.


The power of dog named Mardo is
described in Leslie's Weekly. The an
imal belongs to Superintendent Sol
Stephan, of the Cincinnati Zoo. The
fight took place in the carnlvora build
ing OF the famous gardens a few weeks
ago. The keeper Of the lion had taken
him out of his cage and was exercising
him up and down the wide corridor
with only a small chain attached to
the animals collar. Suddenly the lion
became unruly and attacked the keep
or. Mardo saw the hostile movements
OF the lion, which is three-quarters
grown, and much larger and heavier
than the dog. and he knew his master S
danger. The dog was on the lions
back in an instant, and in less than
three minutes he had thrashed the an
imal so thoroughly that it whined for
mercy. Although the dog is only is
months old, and virtually puppy, still
it was too much for the king of beasts,
and the latter was led back to his cage
after the fight, a wiser and a meeker
lion. Mardo is now the king of the
zoo. and numerous offers for him from
other cities and from circus and mu-
scum managers have been refused. He
is a Great Dane and he has proved
himself a great fighter.

In n Clnrnlese Hull Cart.

For both danger and discomfort a
bull cart in Ceylon Is hard to beat. The
bull is of uncertain temper, and the
cart is so constructed as to top one out
on the slightest provocation. The bull
is driven by a string passed through
his nostrils, and a yoke lies on his
neck behind his hump, but there is
nothing to prevent him getting free
from the yoke when he likes, and this
he frequently does by suddenly run
ming to the dangerous side of the road
and coming to a dead stop with his
head on the ground. This results in
the driver being thrown on to the
shafts, and the unhappy passenger, who
sits as one does on the back seat of a
dog cart. being thrown backwards on
the top of ALL The cart however, is
not high one, and the victims pick
themselves up without damage, and go
on till the bull tires and the same
