American Motor Carriage Max.
ers Sell Their Output
to Europe.

Chicago, Dec. 30.-The Record says:
Count De Jotemps of Paris, France,
has closed a contract for the purchase
of about $15,OOO,O0O worth of motor
vehicles of Chicago manufacture. The
count is president of the American
motor general agency, with headquar-
ters at Paris and offices in every cap
ital in Europe.
The aim of the company, it is said,
is to control the European agency for
the sale of American manufactured
motor vehicles.
The contract which the count closed
was with the Fischer Equipment COM
pany of Chicago and under it the COM
pany agrees to furnish the agency with
five hundred horseless vehicles a year
for the next ten years. These vehicles
include carriages and wagons of every
description and are known as the Wood
motor vehicle. the motive power of
which is electricity.
The first instaIment of vehicles is
to be delivered in Paris not later than
March Is and shortly after that date
they will be placed on sale on every
town of Importance in Europe.
The count has closed contracts also
with the Holyoke Motor company of
Holyoke, Mass, manufacturers of a
Wheel company of Chicopee Falls,
Mass, manufacturers of the light gaso-
line motor carriages, and the Stanley
Automatic Carriage company of New
ton, Mass, which makes a steam motor
carriage. The combined contracts call
for 1900 vehicles, to be delivered each
year for the next ten years. The aggre-
gate price to be paid is said to fall not
far short of SIS, 600 600
THE American patents on horseless
vehicles are the only ones of practical
value on the Market said the count.
In Europe we have nothing that can
compare with the American motor
vehicles, either in ightness, easy run
ming qualities, rightly or STABILITY. We
are satisfied that America will furnish
the horseless carriages of the future,
and 1t is our idea to control the sup

vEELEY'S RATS NEST.
The Government to Pay Him $500
and Interest for Thirty Years for It


washington, Dec. 3O.-An interesting
story about FIVE United States treasury
notes that were found by John Neeley,
a carpenter, more than thirty years
ago in an old box car in Louisville
Ky was revived today when Dill LOT
his relief, which has been pending IN
congress for years, and which had al
ready passed the senate, passed the
house 1t thus becomes law, ana
Veeley will get good American dollars
to the amount of $500 and interest from
Uncle Sam. The bill was called up by
Representative ZenOr of Indiana II
was first introduced in the senate our
ing the Fifty-first congress on April
25 1890 and referred to the committee
on claims Senator Turpie secured its
passage in the upper house May H.
1897.
1t is in the reports of the committee
on claims that the story of the treasury
notes is told. According to these re
ports John Veeley was, on september
30. 1883. employed in Louisville, KY,
as a carpenter by the Louisville ana
Nashville Railroad company, and While
tearing out the end of an OLD po1 car
which was under repair, he found nNe
United States treasury notes, payable
to bearer, of 500 each. The notes were
somewhat mutilated and appeared TO
have formed part of rats nest, put
there seems to have been no difficulty
in determining their character, their
denomination and date and the issue
and series to which each belonged
custom house and they were forwarded
to the treasury department for redemp-
ton, but the department refused to re-
deem them, and with the approval OF
the secretary they were returned to him
in February, 1863. He then sold them
to one julius Wellman, a broker, for
$500.
In March, 1859, Wellman sent them
again to the treasury department and
the matter was referred to the first
comptroller, who decided that they
should neither be redeemed nor return
ed to Wellman. Wellman then made
demand upon Veeley for the return OF
the purchase money, and it is alleged
that an officer was sent to lnt1mldate
him and force a settlement. Neeley had
in the meantime disposed of the $500,
and, being dependent on his daily labor,
it was not easy to refund the money,
but he at length did so by installments,
and whatever rights were acquired by
the original finding were revived in him
by the repayment.
Veeley subsequently renewed his
efforts to secure payment from the
treasury department, but the request
was denied, and the notes still remain
ed in the hands of the treasurer.
Senator Turpie's bill, as amended by
the senate committee on claims, directs
the secretary of the treasury to pay
Veeley the value of the five treasury
notes found by him.
The bill was faVorably reported by
the committee on March 81, 1897, and
was passed on May II, 1897. It was in
troduced in the house three days later
and final action was taken today.

AZ yht With England is Free
~ Discussed at Johannes
burg.

London, Dec SO.-A disQuieting sit
uation is developing at Johannes burg
According to the latest advices from
there the place is seething with discon-
tent, as on the eve Of the Jameson raid,
in consequence of recent and proposed
government measures which the Uit-
landers regard as being q. fresh series
OF impOsitions. In addition racial ami
znosities are intensifying at the vexa-
tious treatment of the British-Indians
and Cape Boys" which is rousing much
bitterness. There was a serious de-
velopment last week when a Boer pO-
liceman murdered an Englishman
named Edgar, entering the latter's
house and shooting him The policeman
was arrested on the charge of murder
but upon the following day the charge
was reduced to one of granddaughter
and the policeman was allowed his lib
erty on bail The British agent de-
Tnanded restitution of the charge of
murder, and a mass meeting, which
was attended by 5000 Uitlanders, was
held at johannesburg on Sunday to
protest against the murder of Edgar
and to present the British consul with
e. strongly wOrded petition to the queen,
reciting the wrongs Of the Uitlanders,
appealing for protection and demanding
such other steps as may be found neces-
able state of affairs.
There were no speeches, owing to the
laws prohibiting political gatherings
The demonstration was very impressive
The petition was presented to the con-
sui on the balcony of the consulate, the
whole multitude signifying assent by
uplifting their hands. References to
the Boer policeman ELECTED shouts of
lynch him.
The meeting, however, was peaceful
with the exception of q. slight ARRAY
with the police at its conclusion The
newspapers publish venOmOus articles
on the subject The Boer organ, the
Rand Post, on yesterday discussed the
prospect of war with Great Britain and
advised that on the first British act Of
war the women and children at JOhan-
nesburg be given a hours to leave and
that the whole place be then RACED and
that the perpetrators of those turbu-
lent proceedings, If caught, should be
thrown into the deep shafts of their
mines, with the debris of their ma
chinery for costly shrouds," and adding
that the whole of Johannesburg will
exult if the Afrikander ward is con-
verted into a gigantic rubbish heap, as
a mighty tombstone for the shot down
authors of the monstrous deed

January 2 be observed at jameson day

COL. HOLIDAYS START.
Re Did Some Telling Work When

General Hugh Cameron, the Kansas
hermit, who lives at Camp Ben Harri-
son, three miles west of Lawrence -
tells of two meetings with Colonel c. X
Holiday that were widely different in
nature and location
The first time I met Colonel Holiday
was little over As years ago." said
General Cameron, when he was look
ing for site to found new town It
was on the prairie near Lawrence, and
he inquired of me where he could find
a suitable location He afterwards dis
covered the place now known as To-
peka, but at the time he asked me L had
never seen it, That was meeting num-
Der one.
The next time met Colonel Holiday
was after he had founded Topeka and
was looking for funds to start the Santa
Fe railroad. The second meeting was

is NEAR.
Fears That British Interests
and American Greed
Will Force the Dominion Into
the American Union.

Toronto, Ont, Dec. 3O.-The Toronto
World, which opposes the present
liberal government at Ottawa, has a
startling editorial today under the head
ing, Canada On the Brink" in which
1t warns the people of this country that
times are critical, so far as the main
tenance of Canada as a free, Andepend-
ent and integral portion OF North
America is concerned
Unless Canadians declares the
World, ARE fully alive to the situation
and speak out in no uncertain way, they
will find themselves between a grasping
annexation movement in the United
States, having for it's end the DONNA
ton of the whole continent and great
party in England, prepared to make al
most any sacrifices to the United States
in consideration of some kind of sup
port of England in her race with Rus
STA, France, and other European
powers
The World then refers to the recent
speech at Macon, Ga. of Major General
James H. Wilson of Delaware, in which
that gentleman expressed the hope that
he would see the day when our starry
flag shall float everywhere, from the
frozen north to the sunny cline of Cen
trail America"
I'VE believe" the World proceeds,
that these words of Mr.. Wilson only
show too well the opinion of a great
number of Americans when once their
appetite for expansion is aroused, in the
direction of the north, and if once they
get it into their heads that they only
have to go far enough in their great
game Of bluff, which seems to be their
best and their strongest card in diplo-
macy, will force Canada, willy nilly, into
annexation

WORLDS FAIR BUILDINGS
Will Be Considered by the Paris Ex-
position Commission This Week.

Chicago, Dec. 30.--A conference Of the
heads of departments Of the Paris expo
sition commission has been called by
Commissioner General Peck and will be
held this week after all have reached
the city. The conference is for the pur-
pose of deciding upon the designs of the
several buildings to be erected by the
commission at Paris, as well as arrang-
ing as far as possible the details of the
future work Of the several departments.
Assistant Commissioner General
Woodward will arrive this afternoon.
He reached New York from Paris last
Saturday and has with him all the de-
tails of the apportionment of space to
this country. There have been SO many
changes by the exposition authorities
regarding the space to be given this
country that even at the commissions
headquarters some doubt exists as to
just where this space is. The platS
which Commissioner General Wood
ward has with him will settle this ques-
ton and place the commission in q, po-
sition where it can with little delay be-
gin the apportionment Of space to ex-
hibitors.
Commissioner General Woodward has
also with him other important details
will probably be accompanied by
Charles R. Dodge of Washington, re-
Gently appointed director of the depart
ment OF agriculture, and A. C. Caphart
of Ohio, director of the liberal arts de-
partment
Major Fred Bracket, secretary Of the
commission; ]. b. caldwell, director
of the department of fine arts, and John
Getz, director of the department of the
decoration of buildings, will probably
arrive tomorrow. 1t is expected the con-
ference win continue for at least a week.
NJ. Goustieux OF Paris, appointed by
Mr. Peck, chief architect in connection
with the erection of the American build
ings at Paris, viii also be present and
will submit certain plans which he has
prepared for the consideration of the
commission. Mr.. Peck says it is his
purpose to appoint an American mer-
chant, probably a Chicago man, as an
associate of NJ. Goustieux, and that he
probably would participate in the con-
ference.
The buildings for which designs are
now being submitted by architects of
Chicago, New York and other cities are
the government building and an annex
to the manufacturers building. 1t is
the purpose later on to provide for the
erection of a forestry pavilion, but this
will not be undertaken for some time.
The government building is the one
which is concerning the commission
more than any other for it is desired to
have it conspicuous as a monument of
the best architectural skill.

PAYS FOR BEING CRIPPLED
Defendant in a Damage Case Loses
Suit and Assessed Cost.

New York, Dec. Coleman Schie-
nauer was permanently disabled in
collision with a Brooklyn trolley car.
He brought suit for $4,000 damages and
lost. To add to his misfortune Justice
Maddox of the supreme court assessed
him with the costs of the suit and $500
besides. The company, admitting all
the facts set forth in the trial. set up
cOntributory negligence and on this Sc
cured the verdict. 1t was then that
Lawyer LittlejOhn asked the justice to
award the company an allowance for
it's expenses in defending the suit.
THE verdict of this jury" he said,
has found that our company was not
responsible for this accident, yet we
have been put to big expense to defend
it, If we had lost we would be taxed
5 per cent of the amount of the verdict
for expenses. 1t is no more than fair
that the plaintiff should be taxed the
same for the company"
Your argument is entirely logical"
replied Justice Maddox. 1T is within
the discretion of the court to assess
lawyers fees on the defendant if he is
held responsible for injuries to the
plaintiff. 1t seems no more than just
that when he is held innocent of those
injuries he should be recOmpenSed for
the expense to which he has been put
in defending himself. The rule of the
court has been to fix this compensation
at per cent of the damages granted.
In this case I shall make it per
cent of the damages claimed. 1 there
fore order that the plaintiff in this case
shall pay the defendant $500 in addition
to the court costs.
The costs amounted to SIG which
makes $685. the cost to the plaintiff for
being disabled for life by a trolley car.
