AN ECCENTRIC COUNT
Makes Much Trouble for the
German Government.
OVER LOSS OF LANTERN
TRIED TO ARREST HEADsMAN OF
A NATIVE TRIBE.
Was Killed and His Escort Barely
Escaped-Hosiles Burned Factories
and Killed Four Agents.

BERLIN, March 2.-The rising of native
troops in the Cross and Nsassanang rivers
region of German Kamerun, West Africa
resulting in several factories of the Norh-
west Kamerun Company being burned
down and four Germans killed as ANNOUNCE
ed in these dispatches Monday, was caused
by the eccentric conduct of Count Won
Pueckler, and was directly due to the theft
of lantern from the Northwest Kamerun
Company.
Won Pueckler, who was the governments
district commissioner, was reputed to be
quiet aud sensible administrator, having
sound knowledge of native ways and char
acter. He formerly Was an employee of the
Northwest Kamerun Company. but recently
had been employed by the government.
Letter Suggested Mental Disorder.
Herr Schoeller, president of the company,
received in December last long letter from
Count Won Pueckler regarding the stolen
lantern, concluding with the assertion that
he intended to make the property of white
men respected by burning five villages.
Herr Schoeller inferred from the violence
of the language of Won Pueckler that the
latter was deranged, and wrote both to the
count and to the agents of the company.
commanding that nothing be done over so
trivial a matter. saying that the company
for the first time was about to pay divi-
dend, and adding that the good will of the
natives must be cultivated.
Action Taken Too Late.
Herr Schoeller's letters arrived too late.
Count Won Pueckler, with twenty-five men,
tried to arrest the head men of one of the
villages, but the count was killed and his
escort with difficulty escaped
During the next few days the company's
factories on the Cross river were burned
down and four agents were killed. A punt
tive expedition has now arrived in the hos
tile district
Count Won Pueckler, as appears from in
formation subsequently received by Herr
Schoeler,- had recently given way to fits of
fury against the negroes, attributable to the
state of his health a result of his long
resideflee i'm the hot climate of equatorial
West Africa.

There is not a question of doubt but that the democratic convention st Ju- neau tomorrow will declare in unmis- takable terms for territorial govern rent. That will make the circle of en- dorsements for the American principle of self-government complete. A non partisan convention sitting at Juneau last October, and a republican con- ventiou at the same place less than three weeks alterward declared for ter ritorial government. Now if the dem Ocrats do likewise, the claim of the tories that they represent the people of Alaska will appear so ridiculous that it will call forth only derisiOn for those who make it.

Among the things with which those who are developing Alaska have to con- tend is the constant knocking of the tories. These people understand that the smaller and the more insignificant they can keep this district, the greater will be their opportunity to be regard ed as amounting to something. Let the people of Alaska have an oPportun- ity to express themselves, and Gov, brady and all the other tories will have Co count their careers as over. It is with them a case of keeping Alaska down or going down themselves, and they are thinking more of self than of Alaska.
