SECOND OVERT ACT.
British Officers Detain Another
German Vessel and the Kaiser

Advices from Berlin state that the
imperial mail steamer General has
been detained at Alden and occupied
by British troops, with the object Of
searching her cargo, which is 70 be
discharged. The General is owned
by the German East African line, the
owners Of the Bundesrath, previously
captured by the British cruiser Magi-
chime off Delagos bay.
The seizure has considerably aggra-
waited the situation here, and the in
dignation against England is intensi-
fed. The government is still earnestly
endeavoring TO preserve correct official
relations, but England will do we'll to
hasten TO make the amende honorable
to Germany.
On absolute reliable authority, the
correspondent Of the Associated Press
learns that Emperor William is now
thoroughly aroused by the repeated
seizures of vessels, no one of which,
he has been assured, is guilty of car
rying contraband. He regards the
aizures as high-handed proceedings,
which England would not have dared
to undertake il the German navy were
more powerful than it is.
His majesty is said to be particular
" incensed because information has
reached him showing that the seizures
were not due to the laundering Of,
British naval officers, but strict or
ders from headquarters, which the of
Fl ;ers are merely carrying out. He
has, therefore, instructed Count Won
Buelow, the foreign secretary, to de-
mand exact and full reparation for the
the outrage done to the German flag.

small respect which the English
people feel for Germany because
of her deficiency in naval power
has taken such deep root that the
commanders of English warships
hasten to commit breaches of in
ternational rights so long as Ger

fear to touch the German flag
must be thoroughly and speedily
cured"
Indignation meetings have beer
called by branches of the colonia
society. The German press, will

"Hand We sus Machine Labor" is
the title OF a booklet by Hon. Carroll
D. Wright, our leading Official stats
tician. The subject matter treated Of
is indicated in the title, and an ex-
haustiye study of the data contained
in the work will do much to explain
the success of American manufactur-
ers in foreign competition. Take one
item, Brussels carpet, which We find,
according to Dir. Wright, is now woven
on power looms with an expenditure
of a half-hour of labor per yard,
whereas in 1850, when hand looms
were used, more than eight times this
amount Of labor was expended to make
one yard. On an average ll8 hours
of labor we're expended while making
one of our old-time plows. Now we
make a better pillow in less than fo1r
hours. In cotton, too, the machine
is a helper in the. field OF competition,

The town of Adrian, Mich, is over

1t is announced that the Russian
Astronomical society has finally given
up its attempt to revive the Julian
calendar and so the Muscovites still
stand with Greece in clinging to the
system of the first Caesar and against

signed for its failure is given out by

The Pittsburg, PA, } Dispatch says:
Diphtheria and Christian Science have
had bitter battle in New Brighton

are dead, while third child and the
father are dangerously ill with the
same disease.

then the father refused to give the

The automobile has now been so far
perfected that its possibilities are APP
parent. 1t is not restricted in its
movements to established lines 1t is
not dependent upon the integrity of
rails. 1t can, within reason, go any
where that a field battery can. The
time is probably not far distant when
armed and armored automobiles,
equipped with abundant power, pro-
tected by nickel-steel plates like those
of a warship, and carrying batteries
of the most destructive character will
sally at pleasure from beleaguered
places, run over any roads or any
fields they please, as horse-drawn ar
tillery now does, and indict unmeas-
ured hurt upon the enemy.

Science is bringing strange revela-
tions to the moralist, observes the
San Francisco Chronicle Since the
day when the discovery was made that
insanity was a disease, in many cases
amenable to intelligent treatment, and
the chains and shackles were stricken
from the limbs of the inmates of a
madhouse, the world has learned that
drunkenness is disease, that crimi-
nal propensities in some cases indicate
uncorrected heredity, and in others
may be accounted for by actual degen-
Grafton of the substance of the brain.
