CAUSE ABATEMENT.
British Tactics Surprise the German
officials.

Berlin, Feb 12-The statement of Lord
Cranborne, the under secretary of the
British foreign office in the house of COM
MONS yesterday, caused amaZement here
since the German officials assume that
Lord Pauncefote's proposal of April II,
1898. to the ambassadors of the other
countries could not have been made with
out Instructions from the home govern
ment. The German officials point out that
commons was shaped purposely to give it
the appearance of covering fully the North
German Gazette'S statement on Monday
without doing so, since the German side
has never charged that the British ambas-
sailors generally did anything. but that
one ambassador Lord Pauncefote, made
proposal. Lord Cranborne's answer,
thel efore is treated here as being a mere
verbal bubble Moreover, the impression
powers at the conference held at Wash
ington April IA. 1898 was not that Lord
PauncefOte was merely sounding them to
determine how an intervention proposal
expected later from Austria, would be re-
cefved Lord Pauncefote's proposal was
understood as an independent initiative.
Referring further to the statement ca
the United States never received such a
proposition from Great Britain as de-
seribed from here, the informant of the
correspondent of the Associated Press
adds:
'.Of course not. We have never charged
that the matter reached the American
government. but said the proposition was
baked by Germany before going so far.
It is uncertain at this moment whether
publish the documents or wait further de-

have murdered, obeaineda verdict of e.
900 damages for libel in the Kings bench
division of the high court OF justice to-
day against Arthur b. Markham, liberal
member of parliament for the Mansfield
division of Nottinghamshire. The latter
was charged with publishing a letter
written by DR.. Krause. indirectly accusing
Foster of connection with illicit diamond
buying. The case is an offShoot of the
suit for SANDER. brought in March last,
by WERNER Belt & Co. against Mr.. Mark
ham.
Mr.. Markham in the discussion of the
composition of the Transvaal concessions
in the house of commons March 10 last,
asserted that the commission was made
up of persons affiliated with several of
the great South African companies and
characterized the firm of Wernher, Belt &
Co as nothing more or less than a gang
of common thieves and swindlers," ex-
pressly announcing that he was willing to
forego the immunities afforded by a
speech in parliament.
With the view of making Mr.. Markham
live up to his promise the suit for the
SANDER was instituted. Wernher. Belt.
& Co.. however, subsequently withdrew
the suit.

THE farmers of this state mean bust

own selected agents. They have found
out that it is much their business to
own their own elevators and do their own
own granarieS and haul their grain to the
local market.
There are now more than 20 local CO.
operative shipping associations organized
in this state and every one of them have
proved a benefit to their members and
each have been successful. Many of these
the bulk of the wheat crop of last year
had been marketed, and consequently have
not done any shipping yet. But the price
of grain always goes up at points when
they organize.
The millers and other merchants OF
the state are in sympathy with our organ

sisting the farmers in pushing forward the
work of organization. Many merchants
and independent grain dealers will be in
