President Chambers of the Street and
Sewer Department was talking about the
debt OF the city yesterday and had some
thing to say worth bearing: at is true"
he said, that we owe nearly $1,000. 900,
but we have something for it. Aside from
the improvement OF streets ard the sewer
system, which has cost so much, We have
assets that could be sold and the price
would pay the municipal debt and leave
sum Of IS or $40 per capita to be df-
yided around to make everybody feel good
Now for instance. there is the water
works and Its ramifcatlons 1t would be
easy TO organize a company which would
buy the plant at 81 500, 900 and be glad
to get It. Then there are the public
schools. the parks and other real estate,
which would be worth a million MORE
When 1t Is remembered that since the
organization of the Street and Sewer De-
partment nearly 100000 have been spent
on streets and sewers, and other public
works. think everybody will agree that
things in recent years have been run
we'll, and there is nothing to bs alarmed
about from the debt. do not mean to
dlscredt Mr.. Rosselrs good work in CALI
ing the attention Of the people To their
financial condition but I want TO show
that there is another and a more rosy side
to the question

A DETECTIVES rRlsulArloNs.
Sent Here by the German Government to
Secure Evidence.

b1cuf9 Hstueuocs
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Dcc. 7.--For the past
six months the German government has
had a detective named John Won Millern
in this country looking up evidence in tho
famous bob Kneebs horse ringing case"
to be tried In short time in the courts of
TINT country. The experience Of the off,
cial has not been pleasant one He ar
rived in America last May, and after at
tending the hearing before the German
consul in Chicago visited every race track
In the country in search OF evidence.
month ago he arrived In Sioux City,
where Kneebs made his home for long
time, and was promptly arrested on a
charge Of robbing and burning a depot at
small town In the county. In the fear
that he might destroy his usefulness IL he
became known he did not disclose his
Identity.
He succeeded in establishing an alibi
under the name of John Miller In the case
against him here. but instead of being re-
lensed was turned over to the federal ari-
thorities and taken to South Dakota to
answer the charge OF robbing postoffice
In that state. This charge also failing he
was accused of working confidence game
ON South Dakota farmers. Since then he
has spent the greater part of his time In
jail all over the northwest, new accusa-
tions being brought against him as fast as
the old ones were disposed of.
Notwithstanding the difficulties he con-
trlved to secure the necessary evidence to
disclose his identity. His story is amply
proven by ypapers In his possession. Kneebs,
he says, will certainly go to Germany to
answer the charges against him.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 7.-The story has Just
become public that z. T. Lewis, of Ur-
bana, who victimized numbers of people
by selling forged bonds, and who, after an
attempt to support himself by brazen de-
NAL or by buying OF his accusers, finally
absconded, is now hotly pursued over the
world by Ralph Crawford, a Cincinnati
detective. Crawford has unlimited means
In cash and letters OF credit to enable him
to travel around the globe II necessary,
and this money is furnished by Cincinnati
banks, who until now have been silent
victims of Lewis forged bond business.
1t is stated that the Cincinnati banks kept
perfectly quiet about loss that is given
anywhere from $3.50, 900 to $3.50, 600. Lewis,
though prominent church member, is
represented as being desperate man,
whose capture would result in tragedy.

The corn crop in some of the western
states is SO large this year that it will
be practically impossible to market all
Of it. Farmers will put some into cat
tie and hogs, and market in that way.
The price of corn is now very low, and
it pays better to feed it than to sell A
good deal will be put in crib and re-
served for the higher price that is sure
to come before tbe next corn crop can
be harvested. 1t is a common remark
that an extra large crop of corn is usu-
ally followed by a medium crop or one
under size. Should there be partial
corn failure next year one-baf of the
corn crop reserved now will be worth
as much as the whole crop would bring

STILL PROTECTING SAID PAsHA.



Him at the Porte's Demand.
LONDON, Dec. 7.--Thc Constantinoplc
correspondent Of The Times says: In de-
clining the appointment of grand vizler
Said Pasha asked the sultnn's permission,
on the ground of bad health, to retire and
live quietly abroad. This ranlJled in the
sultan's mind and induced paroxysm of
anger, and Said Pasha, who Is neither
novice nor a coward, Is persuaded that the
sultan would have killed him had he en-
tered the Yildiz palace. The secret OF the
whole business Is that Said is SO popular
and so highly esteemed that 1t Is feared he
might join tho malconsent party. He has
always been regarded as tho most anti.
English Of all the official pashas.
He had bean ordered by the sultan to re-
side In the Yildlz palace, but he declined
to do SO, believing himself to be in personal
danger. Consequently he availed himself
of the hospitality of the British ambas-
aador, Sir Philip Currie. Tho porte made
demand for the surrender of Said Pasha,
but the British ambassador refused II, and
tho Turkish statesman is still undor his
protection.
Said Pashas procliyities are Russian,
and surprise is expressed that he did not
take refuge at the Russian embassy In
stead of at the British embassy. It is said
that the sultan questioned him as to the
origin of certain sedltious placards, and on
his protesting ignorance the sultan re-
preached him with being nt the head OF
the revolutionary movement. He has the
reputation Of being most upright and
single minded minister.
The Standard has a dispatch from Con-
stantinople which says that after Saidis
first refusal of tho office Of grand vizier he
was imprisoned for u week at the Yildiz
palace.
Special dispatches from Constantinople
allego that her majesty's steamships I'm.

A dispatch from Vienna says: 1t Is
stated that the ex-sultan, Murnd, -hns not
fed from Constantinople, but has been Sc.
cretly killed by the stiltan's encourage on
Rfaount of his liberal tendencies.

HURON, S. D., Dec. 7.-Richard Ram
sells wife went to her former home at
Cedar Rapids, Ia, for a visit some two
months ago, taking her young son with
her. About n month ago James E. Wall,
of Cedar Rapids, left his wife and child
and eloped with Mrs. Ra1nsell. Last Satur-
DAY she telegraphed from Nashville, Tenn,
to her father, John Baker, for money.
Baker gave the telegram to Ramsell, who
started early Monday morning, and wires
today that he has had both Wall and Mrs,
Ramsell arrested.

PHdsNIx, A. II, Dec. --latest reports
from the vicinity of the San Carlos agency,
Arizona, indicate that the outbreak of the
Apaches Is of more Importance than was
at FIRST supposed. Tho bodies of four
white men were found yesterday in the
lower Gila valley, near the reservation
line, close TO Fit. Thomas, which was re-
Gently abandoned by the United States
troops. This is forty miles from Ash
Springs, where the Merrills were killed,
SO it must have been done by different
party OF Indians, and undoubtedly by a
larger band.

A DIPLOMATETS PLAN
For Giving Stable Government
+ -y-, to Turkey. :
THE SULTAN SHOULD BE DEposED
And Some Man Connected with the Royal
Family of Russia Placed ON the Throne.
Said rasha stni Under the Protection
of tho British Ambassador.

ROCHESTER, Dec. Tin an interview
Andrew ID. White, cx-minister to Russia,
said when asked his opinion ON the Turk
ish- Armenian question: -. S
ssThcre Is a widespread demand in Amer
lea arising from the reports of the Arme-
nian outrages that the sultan be summa-
rily deposed by the powers. To do this,
without taking preliminary precautions,
would be to invite the most terrible mas
sacre Of tho nineteenth century.
Sunless prevented the sultan would cer-
tainly escape into Asia Minor, raise the
standard of Mohammet and call the faith
full to a war of determination. The mas
sacres reported from Armenia are slight
compared with the butchery that would
follow. Scarcely Christian in the con-
fines of Mohammedanism could escape.
The slaughter would be well nigh univer-
sal The Turks never had genius for
civilization, but they are, when inspired
by the fanaticisIn of religion, among the
bravest fighters in the world.
This is my plan for the solution of the
question: Let the powers depose the sui
tan and place on the throne some able
man connected with tho royal family of
Russia. Then let united Europe guaran-
tee absolutely the independence of such
government from outside interference.
Fortunately there are two men in Europe
today who would suit the emergency.
Primarily my choice would be the Grand
Duko Alexander, who married the sister
of the present czar. Alexander visited the
Worlds fair at Chicago, and is a man of
ability and liberal ideas. Tho other avail
able candidats for the Turkish throne Is
King George, of Greece, who Is an uncle
of the Russian car.
81 believe, too" continued Mr.. White,
"that the European nations should be
