INSULT TO GERMAN FLAG.
But No American Vessels Have Been
Seized, Hence Complaint Is Different.

New York, Jan. s.-A special 10 the
Herald from Washington says:
1t Is the expectation Of the admins
tration that Great Britain in her answer
TO Ambassador Choate's representations
relative to the seizure OF American car
goes will indicate her general policy
with respect TO neutral trade with
South Africa.
Having faith in Lord Salisbury to act
Justly, neither the President nor Secre-
tary Hay intends 10 act In an unfriend-
~ manner toward the London govern
ment. There Is no doubt that the Ger
man government has unofncially dis
cussed the action OF Great Britain In
sezing American cargoes and detain-
ing German vessels, but. as has been
stated, no official request for Joint ac-
ton has been received nor does the ad-
ministration expect any.
"There is absolutely no reason why
the United States should Join with any
foreign power in making representa-
lions TO Great Britain as a result Of
the seizures already made" said an
official this afternoon. 80 far as the
detention Of German ships is concerned,
there is apparently an insult 10 the flag.
tanned. American cargoes in British
and Dutch bottoms, have been de-
layed on the charge that they
were intended for the military use
Of the Beers. The American incidents
can very we'll be settled by American
presentations.
Suppose this government were 10
agree 10 act jointly with Germany in
demanding reparation and an express
sion of policy from Great Britain AS
the negotiations continued Germany
might go further than this government
originally contemplated, and unless we
withdrew, we might be drawn into a
war in the causes Of which We were not
particularly interested. Approaching
this possibility, the President proposes
to act alone In matters that may devel-
op in consequence Of action taken by
the British cruisers In South African
waters and thus avoid the dangers of
entangling alliances"

why the Rate Went Down.

New York. Jan. s.-The London flnan-
olal correspondent of the Times cables:
A fortnight ago bankers were buying
bills from brokers at Ga per cent, Yes
terday they could get them for little
over four per cent. Yesterday morning
sundry parcels were sold by brokers TO
bankers at Az per cent, but money was
so abundant that loans for a week
could be arranged at from TO 3b per
cent, and discount houses then pre-
ferred to carry paper they had taken
and run the risk Of the market them
selves.
SO complete a change looks and Is
unhealthy, but II Is easily accounted
for. The government had to borrow
dividend money from the bank OF Eng
land, and other moneys besides. for wSr
purposes. All this Is new credit and
produces quite a different effect from
the release OF credit previously with
drawn from the market by the collection
Of taxes Further, the bank retained all

its imported gold last week so that its
reserve was much strengthened. on
the other hand, the high rates for
money have checked the creation Of
new instruments Of credit and reduced
the volume Of speculation so that the
requirements Of the market are small
err. No wonder, then. that rates have
tumbled down. or that they should look
like going lower still. Had the gov
eminent been able to wait till yester-
day or tomorrow before selling its last
creation OF treasury bills It would have
saved a considerable percentage Of the
rate paid.

The Capetown correspondent Of the

To-day the authorities issued notices
warning the public Of the danger Of be-
ing fired upon If they approach posts
guarded by sentries at night time, and

He said he thought it by no means improbable that early in the coming century England would have to meet a combination of European powers Refer ring to ''serious trade competition of Ger many and the United States he appealed to England to rouse herself.

Chief Austin and a number of his friends remained in his office until late hour last night discussing the past campaign and the prospects of success in todays election They all seemed confident of victory, and at a late hour Mr. Austin gave out the following statement:
 'I have been reliably informed that the Looiir Dealers Associationy during secret meeting this afternoon indorsed one of my opponents. l think I can safely say the endorsement went to MT. McDonald as I have been informed there have been numerous bets placed on him since the meeting. Be this as it may, am satisfied I have always conceded that a majority of the liquor dealers were opposed to my reelection as 1t became my duty to make numerous arrests during my admfnistra- ton for violations of the Sunday law. On one occasion a prominent saloonkeeper made a threat that he would spend his en- tire saloon to ca ,se my defeat at the com ing election. However, I believe the law abiding saloonkeepers will give me their support.
 After a careful survey of the situation, I feel confident that I will get 20O0 out of the $500 votes which will probably be boiled tomorrow. I have used every endeavor to enforce the law and having done my duty believe the people will sustain me with their ballots" wv

TRIPLE KILLING
 OVER CARD CAME
U. s. Marshal, a E sheriff and Cot ton Mill Superintendent
 Have Died as Result

Charleston, s. S., December 30.-Three men were killed in Abbeville, this State, last night. Two of them were Sheriff Ken nedy of this county and Wm. Kyle of Mas sachusetts. who has been experimenting the building of cotton mill in Hbbeville. The third was John Dansby, a United States marshal Several persons were play ing cards when Dansby threw two dollars on the table and said play for this" The men at the table refused and an altercation ensued. Dansby suddenly drew a pistol and shot Kyle in the abdomen. He then backed out of the room declaring that he would shoot any one who attempted to stop him. He was followed by two police men, but held them at bay until Sheriff Kennedy and a number of citizens arrived. The sheriff called to Dansby to come out of the house of his father-in-law, whither he had fled, and surrender. Dansby came out closing the door behind him, and with the remark, well, we'll all go to hell to- gether," commenced firing. Dansby was shot twice in the leg and full in the chest, the sheriff was struck once in the left breast near the heart and fell. Dansby walked fifty steps and was reloading his pistol when he was shot again, 1t Is said, by the tying sheriff. The sheriff and Dans- by died within few minutes. Kyle lin- gered until ? o'clock today.
