Protect Sugar Growers.
The British cabinet has decided to in
augurate a policy of trade retaliation
against France if the latter continues to
cripple the British sugar growing colonies
by her bounty system.
This will be the first time England ap-
preached anything like protective meas
ure. Germany, Austria and Holland
have consented to reduce their bounties
a certain amount yearly till the system is
wiped out. France alone has held out
against it. Englands colonial sugar grow
ers have been almost ruined by competi-

Germany Becomes Aggressive.

Germany, it will be recalled, brought
Mataafa back to Samoa on one of it's
war vessels and practically instigated the
revolution against the constituted authori-

Germany has taken advantage of the sit
uation and presumably directed her con-

critical situation lies in this: England and
America must either assert their author
ity or surrender the islands to Germany,

Did Not Like the Attention the New
Arrival Was Receiving.

From the Minneapolis Tribune
| Inc Iury OF woman Scorned" is of
ten spoken of as something to be fear
| ed, but, judging from a tragedy en-
acted IN an east side residence yester-
| day, it is not in it with the anger of a
| common cat when it realized that the
| place it once filled in the affections Of
| it's owner has been taken by another
and perhaps prettier cat.
Old Dick, big yellow cat, is the
property of an east side young woman,
and for number of months past has
been the whole thing around the house,
so far as pets We're concerned He had
his own dish for milk, his own rug,
and was pretty lucky feline, take it
any way that you would. His favorite
resting place was in the lap of his mis-
tress. and when she recently brought
homea little gray kitten OF which she
made much Old Dick manifested his
displeasure in variety of ways.
His disposition seemed to change,
and, instead of following his mistress
around the house, as he had been in the
habit Of doing. he simply turned his
back upon her Several times the young
woman caught the old fellow in the act
of cutting the new arrival and for this
she reproved him sharply Finally the
kitten was unmolested when the mis-
tress was around, but the old cat mani
tested his anger, in other directions.
Yesterday morning the young woman
mad the kitten in her lap, petting it and
calling 1t endearng names. when Old
Dick entered the room. He began to
groWl when he saw the tenderness with
which the kitten was treated and then
tried to induce the young woman to
pet him instead of the kitten. His at
tempt was a failure, however, and then
the old cat went almost wild with rage,
With single bound he was in the
lap Of the young woman, who lost her
presence of mind and began to scream,
fearing the old cat was about to at
tack her. Selling the kitten by the
back, Old Dick jumped to the floor and,
holding the kitten down by his front
paws, deliberately tore open the little
animals neck killing it in a few sec
onds. AS soon as the kitten was dead
the old cat looked at the body for
moment and then disappeared through
the open door and has not been seen
since.
The tragedy was clearly the result of
anger on the part of Old Dick, who up
to the present time had never been
known to get into a quarrel with an
other cat. In fact, he was SO gentle
that his name was synonym for all
that was gentle and mild, and his be-
havior can be explained on no other
theory than that he was driven insane
by jealousy.
