GERMAN STEAMER Seized.
TAKEN BY A BRITISH WARSHIP
Germany Claims the Herrog Carried
No Contrabnnd Goods-War situa-
ton as Seen in London-Hopes to
Avoid Trouble over Recent Cap
lures.

Durham, Jan. S.-The German steamer
Hcrzog has been seized by British war
ship and brought to this port
This steamer, which Germany claims
carried no contraband and no cargo in
tended for the Beers, was captured a
short time ago and is now considered a
British prize, to be dealt with by prize
court.
London, Jan. 6.-The passing OF ant
other week has apparently effected no
change in the condition of the war in
South Africa 1t certainly has not been
productive of any serious developments.
In England the yeomanry are manfuily
contending with the difficulties of the rid
ing school, which is putting their patriot
ism to the test of falls on the tanbark and
other inconvenience.
Coal is getting daily dearer and the
funds for the "absented minded beggarsT
and others are swelling by the thousands
into proportions of unheard of muni6-
ccnce, while the papers, when not magni-
fNing indecisive skirmishes into brilliant
Successes, devote casual attention to the
difficulties which have arisen over the
seizure of cargoes bound for Lorenzo
! Marquee. In the latter respect the Bun
desrath incident almost monopolizes at
/ tention, the seizure of American flour be-
ing relegated TO a very subsidiary posi-
ton and not being taken as having the
slightest possibility of producing interna-
tional friction. On the whole, the Brit
i>h press has taken calm view of the
German seizure matter and has refused
to be led into replying in kind to the bit
tel comments telegraphed from Germany.
In this the papers merely voice the feel
ing OF the government, for not the slight
est feeling for the action taken against
I, the alleged contraband have been given
out, though that question in abstract
causes no end of cogitation, but more re
a garding the effect the present discussion
will have upon future events than by th'
/ press of contemporaneous difficulties.
= The British government believes it ha
>. a good case against the Bundesrath- Blu
. both in this instance and the case OF IN
American -four the government holds tina
absolutely nothing definite can be don
until details have been learned.

est, since it was made in the face of an
increase OF nearly $9,O00,0OO of deposits
which, of course, tied up about $2,250O0O
of money in additional reserve require
ments. The gain in cash was S2Sl6,200
of which the greater part was in the form
of legal tenders, due to receipts from the
interior. Loans are, 81, lO7 900 higher.
