DON'T LIKE AMERICANS.
An Omaha Man Tells of Ills ESpericnc
During the Chtiipn Trouble.

An Omaha Man Tells OF His Experience
During the Chiiian Trouble.
Mr.. j. q. Williams, formerly citizen OF
Nebraska, but a resident Of Peru during the
hve years last past is visiting friends In
Omaha. He is engaged in horse raising in
Peru and has made something OF study OF
the resources the politics and the social
conditions OF the people down there. Mr..
Williams feels very indignant over the action
OF the United States navy iu the Chilian
affair. Speaking OF the matter he saiu:
"Citizens of the United States who are
now residing in Central ana South American
countries are nearly ali ashamed to say that
they are Americans. Captain Schlev of
the Baltimore had an opportunity
to have isnpired the South aud
Centarl American people with respect
for the United States aud its people
but he failed to improve it. He should have
demanded the release OF tho men who were
arrested within half an hour or turned his
guns upon Valparaiso and shellod II until the
Chtlian authorities came 10 time. THAT'S
what an English captain would have done
under similar circumstances, and the Chilians
know it.
"In all the Central and South American
countries tho people respect the English and
the English flag because they know that the
English navy will protect its people in any
port under the sun. On the other hand the
Spanish Americans have little or no respect
for Americans. because Americans have worry
little protection from their government.
~ was arrested once IN Mexico aud thrown
In jail because / attempted to cross the bor-
der into another province without passport.
When was put in Jail the guard asked me
what protection / claimed. / said America.
He laughed In my face and said: DO you
see that dog therel He claims American
protection, too and then he gave the dog a
kick. l told him he couldn't kick me and he
tried 1t. knocked him down and got thirty
days in jail for 1t. ] am sorry TO say it, but
1t Is a fact that the Uuited States Is looked
upon with general contempt by nearly oil
the people in Spanish countries,
while England is respected and Englishmen
are in great favor down there.
1.-THE United States naval officers have too
many strings to them. They ought to have
more authority and when they meet with
open Insult from such countries as Chill they
should simply turn loose their guns and
shell the town to splinters. A dose or two
of that kind would revolutionize matters in
South and Central America. The Spanish
Americans are fighters and the only way to
command their respect is by prompt and
decisive bravery and battle. All this red
tape and diplomacy means cowardlce to the
average Spanish American"
"How do the Peruvians like Mr. EganW
"They like Egan. He is about the only
American in the whole controversy who
showed the kind of grit that wins down
there. The Peruvians think that Pat Egan
would fight in minute, and they like him.
The United States would command the re-
spect of very large class of people in Span
ish Am erica by standing right by Egan."

MONTREAL, March l5.-The Montreal Ca
zette, the official organ Of the dominion gov
ernment, in an inspired article says: The
early portion of Senator Sherman's remarks
on the solution of the Bering sea question is
all that could be desired. The tone of friend
illness (Which we are glad to acknowledge is
Eo new thing with HIM in which he speaks
of the relations that ought to prevail between
the United States and the motherland
does honor to his patriotism. But the sena-
tor soon swerves from the line of good will
and impartiality and takes things for granted
10 an astonishing way when he talks of pre-
venting 'poachlng' on rights that were pur-
chased from Russia aud which the United
States have openly asserted and enjoyed 100
years. We are at loss to know what this
means. 1t is only twenty-five years since
the bargain was concluded by Secretary
Seward; it is only eight years since what is
meant by the word 'poaching was taken any
notice of by the United States authorities,
and as for purchased rights, those called
rights while unpurchased were disavowed
as such by successive Washington admins

cluded in the circuit, the adoption OF play

portance.
a good deal OF disagreement may
be expected over the adoption OF
schedule. AS has emanated from
headquarters at Columbus in advance,
1t is the idea TO have the western
teams open in the east, or the exchange OF
home end home games in each section, and
then the eastern clubs come west, returning
home in time for two games on Decoration
day on their own grounds. The moguls OF
tho eastern division, however, claim that
this cannot be done. Thoy argue that the
schedule will call for l40 games each, and that
to get these in the prescribed limit embodied
between the 18th day of April andlthe lst day
OF October, the first series at home ana
ABROAD must be four games with each team,
and this means thlrty-thrce games, which

Is certainty, and that is that each cty's

discussion before the most feasible and prac-
teal can be determined on
Manager Rowe will have Omaha's schedule
in his inside pocket, and when the contro-
ycrsy shows signs OF maturity he intends TO
spring II, with the hopes OF its adoption.
This document calls for a home and home
series of four games for both the east and
west divisions, and the east comes west for
a series of three games instead OF four, fol-
lowed by series of four games between the
two divisions on the grounds of the eastern
clubs. On their second trip west the east
ern clubs are scheduled for four games with
each city in the west, which will include

1I0 games for the season.
While Manager Rowe's scheme is good
one it is doubtful whether it goes through,

SOUTR DAKOTA PROHIBITION.

Pierre SaloonIeeepers Recover In Court
Monthly Fines Paid to the City.
PIERRE, 5. d., March 16.-For many
months the city officials have collected fines
from the saloonkeepers, thus handicapplng
the state authorities in collecting evidence of
violations of the prohibitory law. Lately the
saloonists refused payment of fines, when
tho city officials stood out of the way, en-
ablng the state attorney to close up the sa-
looms. To mako test case, Saloonkeeper
Frank Burchard brought suit TO recover the
money paid as fines, resulting in q Judgment
for the full amount. This will no doubt be
followed by saloonists IN other cities who
paid the monthly fines. The question now
comes up whether the city is not liable as the
principal in violating the prohibition law.
