The mayor's inaugural indicated very plainly that every law in the Kansas statutes and the Oskaloosa ordinances will be strictly enforced, especially the Sunday law. All stores, barber shops, restaurants, livery stables, etc., have to close Saturday night and remain so till Monday morning, a iond popular outery to the contrary notwithstand- ing. _-— >. —= ENrorcine THE Soorrt Act.—A Scott Act convention, numbering some seventy delegates representing temperance societies, churches, labor asgoc iations, mining corporations and prominent business men, met in Sydney, C.

Before retir- ing on Saturday night Mr. Macleod filled the hall stove with coal and attended to the ar- rangement of the dampers, etc., as usual. During the night, however, the gas, in some unaccountable manner, be yan to escape filling the house with a heavy, sickening vapour. About seven o'clock on Sunday morning Mrs. Macleod awoke feeling almost suffoc: ated. She roused herself with great difficulty and called Mr. Macleod, (who, strange to say, was not affected in the least) Mr. Mac leod at once suspected what was the matter and set about ascertaining how many members of the house- hold were atfected by the gas. He found that not one (himself excepted) had escaped; s ne of the younger ile dren being insensible.

There is great joy here over Bismarck’s pacitic reply to the American remonstrance anent the situation in Samoa. Count Arco Valley, under instructions from the Prince Chancellor, has sent the following to Secre- tary Bayard: ‘‘ As a state of war was de- clared against-Mataafa, the commander of | the German squadron issued a proclamation by which the foreigners established in Samoa were subjected to martial law. In- ternational law would, to a cer- WASHINGTON, tain extent, not prevent such measure, but as Prince Bismarck is of | opinion that our military authorities have | gone too far in this instance the military commander has received a tel graphic order | to withdraw the part of the proclamation concerning foreigners. In negotiating with Mataafa, our consul at Samoa has asked | that the administration of the Island of Samoa might be temporarily handed over to him, which demand, not being in con formity to our previous promise regarding the neutrality and independence of Samoa. | Mr. Knapp has been ordered by telegraph to withdraw immediately his demand.’ The New British Minister. Lonpon, Feb. 3. It isstated that Sir Julian Pauncetort Sermanen, Under-Secretary of State for the Foreign Office, has appointed British Minister to the United States. Al- though the report 13 not 0 fticially contirmed it is credited atthe Foreign Oftice. The appointment is creating agitation in British diplomatic circles as a departure from the | rule of succession in appointments accord- | ing to rank in the service. Sir Julian Pauncefort is a lawyer not a diplomat, and | was never attached toany embassy. He was appointed to his present post on account of his extensive knowledge of the les gal | bearings of treaties.

The loss by the fire yesterday, which originated in the building of Root & Keat- ing, wholesale leather dealers, in the heart of the business portion of the city, is esti- mated at nearly $2,000,000, upon which there is insurance probably of $740,000.
