GERMANY AND HER COLONIAL POLICY.

The debates on colonial matters in the
Reichstag disclosed the fact that there had
been rapid abatement in the fervor of
members who favored German colonial
extension. No prominent man of any
party avowed adherence to projects for
further territorial acquisition. Much
doubt is expressed as TO the value of the
territory recently annexed by Germany. A
denial by Chancellor Won Caprivl that the
Government wished to sell the colonies
evoked the remark from Socialist Vollmar
that 1t would be well to give them to
Prince Bismarck as national gift. No
member expressed enthusiasm over either
their retention or their prospects

Although the Government has definitely
abandoned the monopoly Of the produc-
ton of kochine, measures are being pre-

a strict supervision of its manufacture.
Chemists will not be allowed TO sell the

A GRAIN RUSH COMING.
Local Railroad officials Preparing
TO Meet Ii Here.

Local railroad officials are preparing
for big grain rush For some days
there has been a blockade at the West, fol-
lowed byan imperative demand for freight
cars to break 1t. Still, railroad men say
there is no tronble at this end, They
assert further that with all the facilities
for storing grain in the elevators, ships
aud grainzbaFges, it Is practically ifn-
possible to have grain blockade at this
port. They lay the blame for such
trouble as there is to Chicago and the
Western roads. They e1mit, however.
that the condition is serious. and one
officer said that his road had taken the
utmost precaution to prevent being over
whelmed by the avalanche of grain. All
the roads throughout the country are
ordering more cars and locomotives. aud
the Pennsylvania alone has recently or
&ered 5000 new freight cars. At this
port tramp scnOoners are eagerly looked
for, and nearly all elevators are full The
situation Is made all the more complex
By the receipt at this port of heavy ship
meuts of wheat from Manitoba in bond
Officials of the Pennsylvania, Erie,
New York Central, and West Shore Rail-
roads admitted yesterday that every
freight car was in use. and some thought
that rival roads were in difficulty. Grain
dealers have been made aware OF the
Western blockade by their failure 20 re-
ceive expected shipments, and the matter
has been freely discussed at the Produce
Exchange.
The statements of the railroad officials
who We're seen yesterday were in the
main as follows:--Heretofor it has been
the practise Of roads west OF Chicago to
transfer their loaded cars to Eastern
roads and send them direct through to
this city. But during the last month the
Western roads saw that there WIS an inn
mense local business in moving grain to
Chicago. and then In returning for more
loads instead of transferring their cars
to Eastern roads.
They protested to have a fear that their
cars might be blockaded at Buffalo or
New York. Aud then they believed that
the vessels and elevators at Chicago could
keep down the heavy surplus. As a re-
suit, all grain was unloaded at Chicago,
and If any WAS moved from extreme
Western points direct to New York. the
Eastern roads had to do it with their own
cars. The result was that the Central,
Erie, Lehigh Valley, West Shore, and
Pennsylvania Roads. as well as some
others, had to furnish an unusual supply
of their own cars in order to get the grain
10 the seaboard.
The only fear is of snowstorm, Bar
ring that they can pull through, even il
they have TO build cars.

PALMA KILLS 4 BUCK.
Like Unto the First Stag
Brought Down by
the Club.
BUr lis ANTLERS WERE BIGGER.
Lots Of Fun in the Cozy Recreation
RoOm-Who Took Part and
the Programme they
Presented.

The reception room of the Palma Club
never presented a prettier appearance
than it did last night. The chandeliers
were decorated with smiIax and the tenn
porary platform which had been con-
structed was Gaily decorated with flags.
The occasion of this display was the
second stag racket of the season. The
last stag held was pronounced an un-
qualified success, but the efforts Of the
Amusement COMMITTEES last night
to discount any stag ever
held were crowned with success
Never was Palma stag better attended,
and never did the members enjoy mere
pleasant evening and go homs better
pleased with an event of the same char
acter.
The fun began with solo by James
Nesbetr, who rendered q parody on The
"Mockiug Bird'' in pleasing manner.
For an encore a parody of "Bye-Byen was
sung
William Payne. trick banioIst and
vocalist, next performed teats which
elected mucn applause. He also rem
dered several comic songs which almost
convulsed his hearers with laughter.
Mr.. Glenfield, ventriloquist, next oc-
cupied the attention of the assemblage
and afforded much entertainment with
his delusions. Tony Ryan. a club favor
lite. rendered several recitations, eonclut-
ing with the Mad Musician
Difficult feats in Indian club swinging
were performed by G.. Schneider. Many
of the aspiring young athletes of the club
profited by his wonderful exhibition of
skill and strength in the art.
THE coLoRED sfAscoTs.
Ashby and Johnson. the little colored
mascots of the Scottish-AInerican Ath-
setic Club, next gave an amusing. IL not
scientific. exhibition of the manly
art. The little chaps were londly
encored. and in the wind M hammered
each other in truly pugilistic style. When
time was called the little fellows retired
amid storm of appiaase.
shannon Brothers. two well known de-
scripfive vocalists of New York. were
next introduced and for fuliy twenty
minutes kept the gathering in an uproar
with their humorous selsctions
Mr. Redfern, popular tenor OF the
club, volunteered to render several selec-
tions. He WAS given well merited an.
plause. This concluded the musical por-
ton of the entertainments
Then "Billf' Dunn. the crack prize
fighter. was introduced. His opponent
was Tommy Warren Several! lively
bouts were fought and many cigars
changed hands when the referee an
nonnced the points made by each man.
The fight was a lively one and was gre IT.
~ enj yed by lovers OF the manly art.
At the conclusion of the bout the mem
bers adjourned to the billiard room to
witness an exhibition game between
Mr.. Oddie, the amateur billiard
player of Philadelphia. and Mr..
Barnard, champion amateur of
Brooklyn. The players were evenly
matched, and the game proved exceed
inglY interesting to the hume
rous lovers of this sport,
who watched the game closely from be-
giuning TO end 1t is not at all improbable
that the men will be induced 10 play a
match game on the Palma Club tables
shortly The festivities concluded at
midnight.
