TELLER WILL FIGHT BRYAN.
Says He Has Not Experience for an lmportau
Office.
Since European Nations Intend to Gobblc
China, the United States should Have
Dipiamat at Picking.

Washington. Dec 1S.-In a reply to a
question. Senator Teller said today
that he would oppose the confirmation
of the nomination of Mr.. Charles Page
Bryan to be minister to China.
Il have" he said, known Mr.. Bryan
for many years, as he was former
ly a resident Of Colorado, and my per-
sonal relations with him have always
been amicable.My opposition to his con-
firmation is based solely upon the
ground that he has had no expert
ence or training that would justify
this government in selecting him for
the most important mission to have at
the present time. 1t cannot be doubted
that certain European countries intend,
II they can possibly find an excuse for
doing SO, to dismember China and
divide up that great territory between
them. ! do not believe that such high
handed outrage should be perpetrated
and II 1t be attempted ! think that
other self-respeeting nations not en-
gagged in the division of the spells
should enter a very vigorous protest.
This attempt at the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of China win in all likelihood give rise
to serious and complicated dlplo-
matte controversy In which this coun-
try Will be involved. 1t is hardly to be
supposed that under the circumstances
we would be unconcerned spectators
Of this proceeding. For this reason, we
should have In China one of the ablest
and most experienced of public men.
The mission of England, France or
Russia is at this time of less Import
ance thnn IL the Chinese mission My
opposition to Mr.. Bryan grows out of
the recognized necessity of having n
strong man at this important post and
] do not believe that the friends OF
Mr.. Bryan will contend that he meets
these requirements

SPANISH sMAcKs,cAPruRED.
Said to Have Been Taking Fish Uniawfuily
In Florida Waters.

New York, Dec. 1S.-Accordng to n
correspondent of the Herald in Punta-
gorda- Fla, the United States revenue
cutter, McLane. Capt. Reynolds, has
arrived there with seven Spanish fish
ing smacks that were seized for viola
tion of the navigation law. The smacks
have been turned over to the custody
of the customs authorities.
The officers of the cutter reports that
while cruising along the west coast in
the vicinity of Charlotte Harbor they
discovered the vessels fishing in Amer
lean waters. On the approaching of
the cutter, the Spaniards made mn
effort to escape. but were apprehended,
an officer placed on board and under
the escort of the McLane, were brought
into port.
The vessels are owned in Havana
and were fishing for that market. They
have neither register nor foreign clear
ance, but are merely provided with a
permit from the Spanish authorities
authorizing them to fish in the high
seas.
owing to the scarcity of fish on the
Cuban coast the shallow waters Of
Florida bay, with an almost mex
haustlble supply offers special induce
ments to the vessels which assemble
at all times in the vicinity OF Dry Tor
tugas and along the entire west coast
of Florida
lodged against them, charging them
with smuggling liquors and landing
refugees from Cuba, thus menacing the
health of the entire gulf coast by the
introduction OF yellow fever and small
pox, The seizure of the seven smacks,
II Is said, is for the failure of their
masters to report arrival at the custom
house as required by section 2773 OF
the revised statutes. The masters
claim that their arrival was not volun-
tary, but that they We're compelled to
seek the harbor because of bad
weather.
In view of the fact that several suits
against Capt. Willec, late commander
of the McLane, are now pending in the
United States district court because of
seizures made of Spanish fishing ves-
sells in this district under similar con-
ditions,l the outcome of the present
case is awaited with interest. TIE mat
ter has been reported TO Washington.

GOOD ROADS FOR ALL.

They Are Not Intended to Benefit Amy
One Glass, but Everybody.
Two or three years ago the farmers
allowed themselves to believe that the
good roads agitation was wholly in the
interest of the wheelmen, and that the
burden of providing them would fall
upon the farmers shoulders.
That idea has exploded. While the
farmers know that good roads mean in
creased comfort and pleasure for those
who ride the wheel, they have come to
understand that good roads mean more
than that for them; that they not only
mean pleasure and comfort for them,
but high degree of protit-protit i'll
time saved, profit in vastly larger loads
while marketing their products, profit
in saved horsefiesh, profit i'll large in
crease in value of their farms.
They have come to realize that good
roads are cheap roads, the cheapest that
the farmer can have. They have only
to point to here and there patches of
good road that have needed no atten-
tion, in some instances, for q quarter OF
century.
Good roads are Il logical, happy neces.
sity for all-not a luxury for the few.

KITCHEN RUN BY CITY.
At Grenoble, France, an Association Serves
Good Food at Cost.


Good Food at Cost.
Housewives who think the co-opera-
tive kitchen is so far in the future that
it would be absurd to look forward to
it for relief from daily drudgery will be
interested to hear that kitchen with
the same end in view as the cooperative
has been i'll successful operation for
nearly so years The Association Ali
mentaire of Grenoble, France, is pure
ly municipal affair. The city owns it
and supplies meals at cost in it's own
restaurant or delivers them at private
homes.
Everything at the Association Ali
mentaire is as good as money can buy.
The cooks are as clever as any in France,
which is saying great deal. The pro-
visions are bought i'll the best markets
and are carefully selected. The service
is excellent. The dining rooms are of
several grades, according to the furnish
ings and the attendance, so that all
tastes may be accommodated. One may
dine there for cents on bread and
soup and be satisfied or one may pay IL
cents and have full course dinner. In
the best rooms, which are marble floored
and decorated with much elegance, there
are walters who look for tips as natu-
rally as though they were in the SWEETEST
of Partisan cafes.
Pure wines, which have been proper
ly aged, are served at about 8 cents u
liter.
There is no financial profit to the city
in running this huge restaurant, which
serves some $4,000 meals a day. The
materials used, the employment of help
and the amount spent i'll keeping the
utensils, machinery and building in re-
