FRESH GERMAN INTRIGUES

Hating a Cat's-Paw of Italy to Secure Sew and Valuable Territory in Africa. Experience of German Batchers with the Untamed Oxen of America Effort to Renovate London's Inhabitable Slams. MAKING ITALY A CATS-PAYT. German Intrigues for Securing Talnable Acquisition of Territory in Africa. London, Nov. 14 The threatened bombardment of Tangier by Italian war vessels, ostensibly to enforce the demand of Italy for satisfaction for outrages recently committed by Moors at the house of the Italian charge d'affaires, has aroused a wild degree of curiosity to know the real object of the Italian government, and to observe the extent to which she will bo permitted to go. After the expenditure of much blood and money in the endeavor to obtain n foothold in Abyssinia, in which attempt the Italian troops wero 6ignally defeated by disease, defection and the unexpected strength and peculiar warfare of King John's Dative soldiers. King Humbert at last rinds himself virtually the commercial master of the most fruitful of any of the countries of Africa, and at little cost and trouble to himself or his forces. Encouraged by this success, and emboldened by her treaty association with Austria and Germany, it is evident that Italy is resolved to avail herself of any pretext, however slight, to extend her African iuiiUeuce, and hence meditates an attack upon the stronghold of Muley Hassau. Although the wrath of the Italian government, in this instance, is directed against Morocco, the suspicion is strong that tho ult imate aim of the junior partner in the Dreibund is to possess Tuuis, and this suspicion is strengthened by the statements which come from Rome, at the last moment, that the bombardment of Tangier will not take place as advertised, Morocco havinir volunteered to make full reparation for the offense committed against the dignity of the Italian repreHentativo. iNobody believes that Italy would bo allowed to take possession of any part of Muley Hassan's dominions, but it is not at all likely that Germany would interfere in any attempt to wrest the protectorate of Tunis from France. Indeed, it is thought not unlikely that Germany wonld interfere to prevent France from retaining it if .Italy were to make a determined advance in that directiou, and it is not so very improbable that such a movement, in the near future, on the part of Italy, in the role of a cat's-paw, is contemplated in the programme of the alleged alliance for the maintenance of peace. Whether Italy would be allowed to remain in peaceable possession of the newly-acquired territory, including Abyssinia, is not quite as clear as the question might be made. With an undisturbed monopoly of trade in the products of Abyssinia lor a feiv years, Italy would be able to raise herself to the first rank of commercial countries, and it is not in the nature of things that Germany, while casting about for possession of more unfruitful portions of Africa, wonld permit a weaker power, over which she had cast the mantle of her protection, to enjoy tho full benehts of a region more productive than the English, German and French-African possessions combined, and the prediction that Abyssinia, and perhaps Tunis, will ultimately fall into the hands of Germany does not seem altogether groundless. AMERICAN OXEN IN GERMANY. I Importation of Live Cattle for Slaughtering Butchers Think They Are Too Willi, Washington, Nov. 14. Commercial Agent Smith, at Mayence, Germany, reports that the prevalence of high prices for meat in Genuany has caused a firm of butchers in Mayence to try the experiment of importing live oxen from the United States, and that arrangements have been made for the shipment from Illinois to Germany of 900 head of fat oxen within a period of two months. He is informed that this is tho first time that live oxen from the Ifciited States, all ready for slaughter, have been imported into Germany. The first lot of cattle arrived the week preceding Mr. Smith's report, Their appearance seems to have raised apprehensive fears in the minds of the Germau butchers who wero accustomed to the tamo, submissive cattle of Europe and not to the fierce, intractable animals of our Western country. The Ger-' man butchers, Mr. Smith continues, like, before buying, to punch cattle in the ribs, to scrutinize them closely and lead them by a rope. All this the American oxen strongly resent. The importers l ave been disconcerted by the discovery and fears are entertained that the sale of the oxen will be considerably prejudiced thereby. Mr. Smith dryly adds: "Perhaps the ocean voyage unduly excited the animals." The animals are sold at a price 10 to 15 per cent, less than the German cattle, notwithstanding that, according to the importers' statement, it costs $00 for transportation and $7.50 for customs duty for each animal imported. A dispatch from Chicago says that Gehlsen fc Gehrkens, of Tonning, Germany, are here buying stock cattle, calves and two-year-old steers and heifers. They in tend shipping between 000 and TOO in the first cargo, and if they can get the class they want will forward a second cargo. The cattle will sail from Boston for Germany. They claim "store" cattle aro very high in Germany, and that they can get a better class of cattle here. LONDON TENE3IE NTS. The County Council Determined to Render Habitable the Slam Section of the City. London, Nov. 14. The sanitarian raid which has recently been made upon the London slums, under the direction of the County Council, has been productive of much good, though there is a great deal yet to be done in the same direction. As a result of the rigid inspection of the crowded tenements thus far made, the owners of these premises, who have never been known to spend a penny for repairs, even to prevent tho buildings from tumbling down, have been compelled to make extensive alterations and improvements, and to have the work done immediately, under the penalty of naving ii uohb iur uieui ny me auiuorines and the cost charged against the property. The action of the Conucil has raised a howl of indipnant protests from the wealthy and often titled owners, but the radical element which pervades the Council is too strong to be resisted, and the probabilities are that Loudoners will shortly be treated to the spectacle of land lords voluntarily rendering their honsea habitable, such a course being deemed by them preferable to the inoro thorough compulsory work of the authorities. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Views of an English Engineer Who Has Recently Inspected the Panama Can ah Chicago, Nov. 14. A. H. Hewttson, an English engineer, is iu the city. He has been inspecting the Panama canal, and is now on his way home. In a general talk about the future of the canal he said: "It seems impossible to complete the work on a paying basis. The issue of the lottery bonds will keep the work going for six or eight months yet. To complete the canal on a level with merely a tidal lock, tho removal of 100.000.000 cubic metres of earth is still necessary," A fair estimate of time for finishing this portion of the canal would be from two to two and one-half years. I should think the ex pense would be about 2.000,000.(XX) francs. I lold that the only canal of real utility is a evel one. The only wav in which it could ie carried out would be for tli company xo reiinquisn not oniy its right, but the plant of the Solbnmi. In view of the impending forfeiture of its concession lrom the' Colombian government, this plan might as well be chosen." The Pamell Commission. London, Nov. 14. Upon the reassembling of the Parnell Commission this niorniug the cashier of the National Hank proceeded to testify as to the accounts kept at the bank by members of tho lcaguo. Mr.

Dr.Sanford Hunt, treasnrer, reports that the receipts for the year ended Oct. SI, 18S9, had been $1,130,187, or SlJlAjd more than the previous year.

"Doctor," said a red-faced and wateryeyed man from Wayne township, aahecame in Dr, Babcock's otlice, 'in Hammondsport. the other day. "I'm afraid my eyes is gom back on me. and 1 dropped in to kind o' see if 1 can find out where they're lame." "Ah!" said the Doctor. "What seems tf be the matter with your eyes?' "That's what I don't know," replied the, man, "but they played me a trick t'other day that don't leave no roo n for donbt but what there's somethiu' outo' gear with 'em, somehow. I'll give you the symptoms. Maybe you don't know that I'm quite a coon-hunter, but 1 am. T'other day my boy bonght one o' these britch-Ioadiu and repeatm' shotguns, and I told him I'd go out and see how it worked on a coon. I went out, and hadn't gono more than a mile up the hill before I seen a big coon pop on to the limb of a chestnut tree. He came there bo 6tidden that 1 couldn't get it through mo where .he had come from or bow he got there. But I didn't ston to ask no questions, bat np and blazed awav. Now I've got the name over our way. Doc. of never raissin' anything I shoot at. and of course when I pulled up aud whanged away at that coon 1 expected to see him tumble, but he didn't. When the smoke cleared away he sot there jest as he was when I seen him first. I was surprised now, I tell you. I thought it was the gun's fault, but blazed away .airain. The coon never moved. I happened to look, somehow or other, at a tree orl to the right of the one the coon was in and there hot another coon ou a limb. I thought I'd try my luck on him, and so I let him have a shot. Ho never stirred. 1 begun to git mad by this time, and durin' a little conversation I was bavin' with myself about the gnu. 1 happened to glance at a tree to tho left off the first tree, and there on a limb was an-' other coon. I tried my luck on tho third coon, and didn't hit him no more than ldid t'other two. I looked at the lirwt tree; there was that coon, settin' riv'ht where ho was when 1 first seen him. 1 looked at tho second tree, ami there was that coon, 6till on th limb. I turned my head toward another tree, and there I seen a fourth coon, and lookin' around mo whichever way I might, every tree 1 seen had a coon in it, and all as fat as coous could be. I got wild. " Thunder!' I hollered; hcre's the woods full o' coon, and 1 hain't got nothin' but this new-fangled guu that won't hit a barn.' "But I begun to blnze away as fast as the gun could spit a cartridge, fust at one coon and then at another, until every darn load was emptied out o' that gnn. and 1 hadn't dropped a coon. I was jist agoin to slat that gnn to Hinders against a tree, when I happened to rul toy eye, aud when 1 tok my hand down, there on my finger was a nice, iolly. fat wood-louse. I looked up. bnt every coon was gone. The facto the matter is. Doc, that wood louse bad been ban-in' on to on of my eye-winkers all tho time, and I thought I waa seem coon. B I gittin near-sighted, or is the optic ncrvo donblin' up on me!" , t "Neither one," said the doctor. "Have tho hind pocketin vourhnntingpantscutdown from quart s:zo to half-piut, aud you 11 be all light." Tho man went out shaking his head and said he'd, think about it.
