TRACTS CRITICISED.

Publications Sent Out by the Presbyterian
 Church Objected to by Sunday School
 Missionaries.
 DETROIT, Mich, March 23.-The Presbyterian board of publications was openly criticised by the Sunday school missionaries of that denomination at yesterdays session of the missionaries annual conference. It was stated that the hymn books and tracts sent to the missionaries for use in their pioneer Sabbath schools were unsuitable and in some cases antiquated, and that only dozen out of 1,5OO tracts published were really attractive and suitable. Dr. Worden advised the missionaries not to force poor literature on the people. He remarked that the average Sunday school library was usually filled with wishy-washy fiction that exercised a demoralizing influence upon the intel lectual fibre of child's mind. 'I am something of sinner" he said, but was never guilty of reading one of those library books"

 and has been counsel before the United States supreme court in many cases during his congressional career. Soon after his defeat for congress in the landslide of the last election he was rendered the supreme court practice of one of the principal Granger roads, and had its accept ance under advisement for some time. He owns house in Washington and is fairly well-to-do. Judge Kilgore served in the last four congresses and attract ed great deal of attention by reason of his vigorous personality and fre- quent objections to various bills. He is Georgian by birth and 60 years of age. He served in the late war, and his courage, it is believed, will make him useful in dealing with the lawless element who must be tried in the h. dian territory courts.
 The president also made these addi. tional appointments:
 United States marshals-Samuel M. Rutherford, of the Indian territory, for the Northern district; Lucien l.. Stowe, of the Indian territory, for the South. ern district.
 United States attorneys-James V. Walker, for the Central district; An drew c. Cruce, of the Indian territory, for the Southern district.

Mir. and Mrs. Merritt Childs, who are over 70 years of age, were about to retire when, knock came to the door. The old lady answered the summons and was met with a blow on the head, which felled her to the floor. The husband, who came to her assistance, was similarly treated and three masked men entered the house. The husband was then bound and gagged, while the robbers ransacked the premises, finding $500. Mrs. Childs refused to divulge where the rest of the money was hidden, and the fiends barred her feet and pressed them against the red-hot stove. She stood the torture until her feet were terribly burned and then made known the place where another Sl00 was se- creted. Both of the old people were put through the torture.

HEAVY LOSS.
Destructive Flames at Sioux City, Ia.-
 Agricultural Machinery Burned.

Destructive Flames at Sioux City, Ia.-
 Agricultural Machinery Burned.
 SIOUX CITY, Ia., March 22. One of the most serious fires in the history of Sioux City completely destroyed the warehouse of the Western Transfer Co.,, No. 200 Iowa street, yesterday, together with its contents, entailing a loss of more than S2oo,O0O. The high wind which was blowing communi- cated the fire to the linseed oil mill across the street and it was partially destroyed and the greater part of its contents consumed, making a total loss of S4OO,O00.
 The building of the Western Trans. fer Co. was a mammoth frame struc- ture, SIX stories high, covered with cor rugated iron. The iron aided the flames, as it kept water from reaching the woodwork. The huge four-story and basement warehouse, 100 by 150 feet, was filled from top to bottom with farm implements and machinery, valued at about $20O, 1000. The machin' cry was owned by about twenty i'm plement companies in different parts of the United States.

Construction of the Choctaw Line Through

 GUTHRIE, Ok, March 22.-Great ex- citement was caused in the United States court yesterday when decision was rendered enjoining the Choctaw, Oklahoma X Guthrie railroad from building through the Kickapoo reser- vation. The petition coming as it did from Washington bearing the sig nature of United States Attor- neys c. K. Brooks and Horace Speed and Attorney-General Olney, himself, of course, had great weight. This injunction prohibits the road en- tering the reservation, which contains 600, 900 acres, and is the most valuable in Oklahoma, until Secretary Smith gives his consent, which, of course, is equal to a permanent injunction, as Smiths policy is to delay the throwing open to settlement of the Kickapoo lands

WAR ON AMERICAN PRODUCTS.

The Administration Has a Grave Problem
 In Dealing with the Discrimination
 Against American Food stuffs.
 WASHINGTON, March g. - In the recent rapid succession of diplomatic events the question of what shall be done to the European countries which are unjustly discriminating against the products of the United States has been lost sight of temporarily. The administration has a very grave prob lem to deal with in the action of Ger many and other European countries in excluding American food products. The president and Secretary Gresham are still very reluctant to adopt retaliatory tactics, for the reason that it would injuriously affect the foreign commerce of the United States and reduce the revenue from customs. They are being strongly pushed, however, to take such action by the farmers, meat packers and others interested in the exporting of farm products. Whether there will ultimately be commercial war or not will depend in large part on the action of Germany. Advices which were yes terday communicated to the state de- partment put more hopeful aspect on the situation. The German consuls are beginning to make their influence felt with that government, and the de- partment has reason to believe that there will be reaction against the agrarian movement, and that the ports of Germany will once more be opened to American meats and other products.

A CONFERENCE.
The President and Ills Advisers Debate
 England's Nicaragua Ultimatum.

England's Nicaragua Ultimatum.
 WASHINGTON, March 22.-For three hours yesterday afternoon the presi- dent, Secretary Gresham and Secretary Carlisle were in close conference at the white house. It is known that the sub- ject under consideration was the az gressions of Great Britain in South America. The president and his off cial advisers look upon Great Britain's demands on Nicaragua and Venezuela with the greatest concern, and formal remonstrance has been made by this government to Great Britain against the ultimatum of that government to Nicaragua. There is reason to believe that the British government is stubborn and has intimated an in tention of protecting the rights and property interests of British subjects in Nicaragua and Venezuela. There is no division of sentiment in the cabinet as to the proper course for this coun- try to pursue under the circumstances. The Monroe doctrine must be main tained. Great Britain must not be all lowed to make Matabeleland of Ven. ezuela, or an Egypt of Nicaragua.
 It is suspected that at conference between the president, the secretary of state and the secretary of the treasury yesterday afternoon an amplified dis patch to Great Britain was draughted in which the Monroe doctrine was forcibly reaffirmed and perhaps broad ened

Chicago's Chief Declares That His Police
 Could Have Handled It.
 CHICAGO, March 23.-Chief of Police Brennan, in his annual report, declares the Debs strike an unimportant affair." According to him the most annoying element consisted of half grown boys who were determined to do mischief. He says: Tt is a notable fact that there was no trouble where there were no troops. In all cases where the police were left to themselves peace was preserved, and property was kept uninjured and the interference with non-union workmen was trifling." :" The report severely denounces the con- duct of the deputy United States mar shals, who are declared to have been hastily gathered, largely from the scum and refuse of the lowest class of the city's population.
