TRADE WITH GUATEMALA.
German Exporters Are Crowding Out
the Americans.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Hon. God
frey Hunter of Kentucky, Minister. Of
the United States to Guatemala and
Honduras, arrived in Washington to-
day. Speaking tonight of the general
depression in Guatemala, he says it Is
due to the low price the coffee crop has
been bringing during the past two
years. Dr. Hunter expresses the opin-
ion that matter which interferes with
our trade with Guatemala and other
South American countries is the dis
regard of our manufacturers for the
wishes of the people. The Germans Sc
cure the best of the trade, not because
their manufactures are any better but
for the simple reason that they sell the
people what they want and put 1t up
for them as they want it shipped. Most
of the imported goods have to be
shipped into the interior on pack trains,
and the European manufacturer, APP
preciating this, prepares his wares suit
able for that method of transportation

ROME, Feb. 21-The Osservatore
Romano publishes tonight a letter from
the Pope to Cardinal Gibbons saying:
IF the term 'Americanism' signifies a
quality peculiar to Americans and
usages adapted to their customs, then
we have nothing to say against it; but
if it denotes the opinions expressed in
the Life of Father Hecker' we are con-
WINGED that the American Bishops Will
be the first to reject them"
The Pope's letter especially reproves
opinions concerning the relaxation CT
discipline and the non-observance of
doctrinal points as a pretext for at
tracing dissenters to Catholicism, the
direction Of souls by inspiration of the
Holy Ghost, independent of priestly
control; the diversion of virtue into ac-
tive or passive criticisms of the old re-
Iigious orders, and concerning unusual
methods of preaching Catholicism to
disSenters.
The letter, which occupies five col
umns in the Osservatore Romano, be-
gins by Iauding Cardinal Gibbons and
the American Catholics. Abiding to
the many proofs Of good will he has
given them in the past, the Pope wishes
proof of his affection for America
While he makes it clear that the let
ter is one of warning and correction
with reference to the Life of Father
Hecker," his Holiness carefully dis
tinguishes between the doctrinal as
poets of the new theories and questions
of practical discipline and strongly
urges the impossibility Of any change
in the former.
While admitting the church has al
ways recognized and acted upon the
necessity of adapting certain points Of
discipline to modern requirements, 1t
rests with the church, the Pope points
out, and not with individuals, to de-
termine how and when such adapta-
lions can be made.
"Au virtues" says his Holiness,
must necessarily be active. The con-
tempt shown by iQnovators for what
they are pleased to call the passive
virtues has naturally led to contempt
Of religious life as suited only to the
weak and as an impeachment to Chris
tan perfection and to the good Of the
community"
This error the Pope energetically con-
dennis, declaring 1t 'injudicious to the
religious orders and in contradiction to
history"
He reminds the Americans Of their
Indebtedness to the religious orders,
both active and contemplative.
The letter arouses deep interest In
Rome The Liberal papers declare that
it constitutes a Solemn manifestation
of the intransigent spirit of Catholt-
cism," and predict that it will produce
an immense effect in America

; 1T is partly the outcome Of a

clear that the latter will

sCHOENBORN THE WINNER.
Gained II Decision over kid" Cor
don in Eight Rounds.

The st. Paul Athletic club made its in
itial bow to the public, under the new
management, last evening, when a pro-
gramme of four interesting sparring
events was successfully presented before
a large audience The bouts were all
clean-cut, lively exhibitions of the manly
art of self-defense, but were sufficiently
fast to prove interesting throughout.
The sparring events were not preceded
by lengthy programme of preliminary
events. The ring was erected in the cen
ter of the gymnasium, so every spectator
had an unobstructed view. Jack Murphy
acted as master of ceremonies and ref
cree.
The chief event of the evening was an
eight-round go between Eddie Schoen-
born, of Minneapolis, and kid Gordon,
Boston colored boxer. The colored man
showed up somewhat heavier than
Schoenborn, but, when the men got to-
gether, lacked the agility of his oppo-
men. Gordon was no amateur at the
game, however and Won much applause
by his lively sallies. The first round both
men put in sizing each other up. The sec
ond round was lively, with Schoenborn
the aggressor, but Gordon landed strong
on the body, once sending his opponent
down. The third round Schoenborn land
ed all about the colored mans body, do
ing litfAe damage, however, while Cor
don seemed content to land a hard body
blow now and then. In the fourth both
men rushed repeatedly and put in lively
three minutes, to the delight of the spec
tatOrs. The fifth round was an even
break, while in the sixth Schoenborn had
the advantage. The colored man livened
things up in the seventh round and both
spared fast and furious in the last
round, but neither was materially dam
aged when the contest ended.
The bout was eight rounds for points.
and the referee gave the decision to
Schoenborn.
The preliminary events were a four
round go between Morris Self and A.
Campbell, with a decision for Self; six
round bout between Ebbs and Poerfel,
called a draw, and a three-round exhibit
ton between McStay and McGinn.
Billy Mcdonald, the clever local box
er, is DESTROYS Of meeting the winner of
last nights eight-round go and declares
himself willing to face Schoenborn before
the st. Paul Athletic club for the largest
purse the club can be induced to offer.
Mcdonald stipulates that the contest be

CHICAGO. Sept. 19-The boomers of the
rival base ball league left Chicago today
and will interest themselves until the next
regular league meeting in fostering in
terest in the projected organization. Pres
ident Quinn went to Detroit to stir UP in
terest there. That city seems indispen-
sable to the new league. There is talk
of Buffalo, but the latter city is almost in
the Eastern belt and is too far away from
the Western bunch if Chicago, st. Louis
and Milwaukee are included
Arson seems confident of enlistfng suf-
ficient capital to embark a rival team
here. Philadelphia and New York are
counted on financially because of indirect
support from the present club owners
there. st. Louis and Milwaukee appear
all right If the other cities can be secured
The inevitable obstacle is the raising of
the necessary capital, which is difficult
owing to the lesson furnished by the
Brotherhood experience. Without money
the promoters cannot secure PLAYERS
Even those players who feel themselves
mistreated under their present contracts
will not sign with the new league unless
their positions for the season are practi-
cally guaranteed The new league mag
mates have found this out from the va
rious national league players they have
tackled so far.
The effect on the National league, so
President Hart declares, will be to per-
petuate the twelve-club circuit until the
expiration of the ten-year agreement.
The territory must be held for National
league disposal.
There is much less likelihood" said
Mr.. Hart, "of q reduction of the circuit
this year than there was last year at this
time. Baltimore is doing much better and
holding up the weak Eastern end of the
circuit. In the West Louisville is all
right. We have of course Cleveland as
drag on us. That is the same every
year. But there is only two years more
of 1t, and it is my opinion that the league
will finish out the ten-year agreement

A Michigan Man Marries the Woman
He Sent to Prison

CHARLOTTE. Mich, Sept. 19.-Mrs.
Mary Brooks, the first woman ever re-
ceiNed at Jackson state prison, has been
married to D. H. Stuart, who was the
complaining witness against her, and who
was largely responsible for her convic-
ton.
In March, 1856, Mr. Brooks, a wealthy
farmer, died suddenly under suspicious
circumstances. His wife was arrested the
following day on complaint of Mr.. Stuart,
and a special grand jury was summoned
to investigate. After a session of six
weeks an Indictment for the murder was
returned against Mrs. Brooks.
The woman was defended by John Van
Amman, then leading criminal lawyer Of
the state. who, for effect, took arsenic
tablets during his plea to the jury, the act
being considered one of the most daring
ever made by an attorney in behalf of his
client. The woman was convicted after
short trial, the evidence being conclu-
stve that she poisoned her husband by
arsenic given in his food.
Stuart the complaining witnesa, headed
a petition for pardon, which was secured
after the woman had served twenty-three

specifically provided that no children

some modern flats were rented en- suite to
several fashionable people. The leases
stipulated that no children would De al

ence of babies in arms were not objected
to, though 1t was understood verbally
that as soon as the babies became old
enough to run over the grounds and be-
came a nuisance to other tenants the
parents would move Now many of lie
tenants find them selves in this position,
bus they do not want to move, whereas

that the fashionable families will employ
