Berlin, Jan 6 ?The excitement occasioned by the seizures of Ger man mail steamers by British cruisers increases and overtops everything else Even the opening of the Prue sian Diet on the comicg Tuesday is dwarfed thereby. In spite of the strongest current of popular Anti British sentiment the German gov eminent still honestly tries to con tinoe its course of loyal neutrality, bot anxiously awaits favorable Brit* isb action regarding the seizures, wbicb the government and nation both regard as unjustified. The gov? ernment has ascertained, without a shadow of doubt, that the Bundes rath was seized on strictly neutral territory within o radios belonging, by international law, to the Porto g?sse oniony Thereby tbe action of the British cruiser Msgicienne wso olearly wrong, ao here oontended Tbe nowi that Great Britain bos released tbo steamer General, seized ot Aden, is here construed ao Great Britoio becking down In official oirolea todoy the bope was expressed to o representative of tbe Associated Press tbot Great Britoiu will admit that the is wrong ?fter detoiled ood comprehensive proofs ore submitted to Londc Pert of these proofs are tbo bills o lodiog of tbe Boodesrotb, the General ond Herzog, showing tbot tbe German Esst African Line wss most psrticulor to exolude all ohoooes of tbeir vessels containing contraband Tbe Bondesrstb is shown to have had on board 42 passengers for Delagoa Bay, oompris ing 12 Partugnese, of whom several were government officials ; two form or Au6train and one former German ormy officer The rest were civil tout. This line is subsidized by Germany to the amount of 900,000 marks annually Tbe action of the Coionial society in further inflaming public opinion is condemned by a large part of the press A fsot interesting to note is that Chaplain Fry, and the English Church, in Berlin ; British Ambassd dor Sir Frank C Lascelles and a committee now call for subscriptions for tbe sick and wounded in South Africa A concept is to be given January 9, the proceeds to go towards the funds The German Red Cross Society at the beginning of the war offered aid to the British wound ed but the proffered assistance was rejected Suffolk Battalion Lost.

These canes were discovered on the night of the 28th ult., and four oases have been reported during tbe past 48 hours. Tbe board of health has decided to take radical steps (o stamp out tbe soourge. A portion of the infected district was coodeinoed and burned to the ground yesterday Three build ioge and a targe warehouse wero de? stroyed by fire iu accordance with tbis polioy Tbe presence of tbis plague io this city is commencing to worry tbe sugar men. They have an idea that Hawaiian sugar may bo refused at United States ports if shipped from Honolulu To get around this difficulty tbe new orop may be shipped from ports outside of Honolulu. Honolulu beiog tbe ooly iofeeted port, it is belieted that tbe Federal authorities will agree to tbis plso sod allow the marketing of tbe 1899 orop.

AN EFFECT OF LIGHTNING. DtimaKCd a Vnlr of I^ye? That Wen? I.nr&o nuil P.r rh t. Through the brotherhood of Affliction that conies from wearing glasses in 000 of their various forms :i popular official of the llapid Transit company told in conversation the other day of a curious reason why he \vore prescrip? tion helps to eyesight. ;'lt was because 1 was struck by lightning," he said. "It was when I was in my teens. I sat between an open window and an open door and there was a Hash. The last 1 can remember is a sense of having an envelope? of light nrouinl me. I was picked up insensible and those who first saw mo say that smoke issued . from my mouth and nose. All thought I was dead, but I slowly recovered and soon seemed to be as well as before the heavenly visitation. "The serious effects of the shock, however, developed in my eyes Their largeness und brilliancy had been often commended on by my friends, but these more or less desirable features had been destroyed by the electric fluid. The pupils and the irises con? tracted and I found a groat difficulty in my vision An expert oculist exam? ined the eyes and gave some scientific name to the difficulty. That's another story. I only know that I can see and am glad to be alive. "One effect remains, however, that is rather curious. Most people who have been struck by lightning are fearful of being struck again. Not so with me. I'm not nervous even in the height of an electrical storm, but I confess I'm not anxious to sit in a room at such a time where there are two openings into the disturbance. That would be invit? ing destruction."?Brooklyn Eagle. A Study In Hose. The girl behind the counter said to the young man who appeared as though he knew just what he wanted to buy, "What can I do for.you?" "I was going to buy a nice pair of itockingl for a woman. This is the right departmentV" "Yes. What material and what BizeV "I thought I might leave that to you, as we are sort of related iu our call? in.*?." "What do you mean?" "Well, I'm a fireman?the man with the hose, don't you see? As the head of this department you're the woman with the hose. I haven't the slightest idea of what I want or what it should be or what it should cost." i "For your wife?" "No; I hoe my own row." "So do I," she laughed, "and as a hosier." "They're for my sister. And that's all I know About the whole thing. tSIie's smaller than I am, but larger than you." "I take eights." "Then I should think she'd take six teens." He laughed to hear her laugh, and a whole row of customers watted. "It's the l>est hose attachment you ever made." he thought to himself, and so it proved, for the cards are out and they are furnishing a regular birdcage of 0 ?at iu tue north eud.?Detroit Free Press. A BlOfleot Hero. Not loner ago a French chronl<iueur>? Montniiiail of the Paris iJaulois--en? countered iu a little village of Jho south of France a gardener who wore, pin ued on his clean Sunday blor.se, the ribbon of tbe Legion of Honor. Nat? urally, the newspaper man desired to know how he got it. The gardener, who, like many of his trade* seemed to be a silent man, was averse to meeting an old and wearisome demand, but finally he began: "Oh, I don't know how I did get It! I was at Bateilles with the rest of the battery. All the officers were killed, then down went ull the noncommis? sioned officers. Rang! bang! bang! By and by all the soldiers were down but me. I had tired the last shot and uat urally was doing what I could to stand off the Bavarians. "Well, a general came, and says he, *WThere's your officers?' M 'All down,' says I. "'Where's your gunners?' says he, " 'All down but me,' says I. "'And you've been fighting here all alone?' says he. " 'I couldn't let 'em come and get the guns, could I?' I says. And then he up and put this ribbon on me. probably because there was nobody else there to put it on." Too IIaril Tor Hi 111. A Frenchman at a certain hotel the other evening, who was boasting that he had thoroughly mastered the Eng? lish language, was asked to write the following dictation: "As Hugh Hughes was hewing a Yule log from a yew tree, a man. dress? ed in clot lies of a dark hue. came up to Hugh and said. 'Have you seen my ewes?' if you will wait until I hew this I will go anywhere In Europe with you to look for your ewes.' " Iniprenned. "Isn't it awe inspiring." said the youth with tendencies toward the sub lime, "to think of this earth rushing forward on its track, superior to all human direction and beyond all re strnlnt V" "Yes." answered the fair girl softly after a long |tause. "It makes me think of my new automobile."?Wash? ington Star. How IIa <?e,t Exorcise. Lord Palme stoti used tt clever ex? pedient for coercing himself into a little regular daily exercise. It was Ills custom when in govern? ment positions to have his Inkstand placed open a table several yards away from the desk at which lie worked, so that he had to walk several puces for encli dip of Ink. He attributed his maintenance of sturdy health and jaunty manner un? der the trying conditions of office rou? tine to this simple practice, as also his habit of performing all work standing.
