as well as between creameries located In

BIG CROWD GREETS HILLS
Plymouth Church In Packed by PeO-

Chicago Man.

NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-There was an
actual crush before the opening OF the doors
OF Plymouth church. Brooklyn. this morn
Ing of people determined to hear Rev. DR..
Newell Dwight Hills. formerly Of Chicago.
deliver his first Sunday sermon in the edifce.
The gathering In its different phases brought
forcibly to mind the DAYS Of Henry Ward
Beecher. and DR.. Hills more ardent friends
were delighted beyond expression.
When DR.. Lyman Abbott. the retiring pas
tor, opened the services at 1890 o'clock.
every pew and gallery seat was filled and
the extra chairs in the lower aisles were as
eagerly taken. People stood five and six
deep in the rear aisles and there was a line
OF listeners standing along the walls of the
spacious side aisles. 1t was probably the
largest attendance since the Beecher period.
DR.. Hills occupied a seat on the platform
to the right OF DR.. Abbott. and Rev. Henry
NJ. Field was on the ~latter's left.
DR.. Hills was listened to intently. He
seemed perfectly at ease and spoke SO dis
tinctly that every person in the church
heard him. His theme was Jesus Christ
the Supreme Example of Genius in the
Realm Of Intellect"

Gus sources. Rev. Henry belong has given
for publication the following letter:
COUNCIL BLUFFS. Jan. 14.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: l have co-operated with
the overseers Of the poor Of this county for
Ahirty-fve years. have saved the county
thousands of dollars by gathering up cast
of clothing and distributing 1t among the
poor. When Mrs. belong and myself have
gone to former overseers with representa-
lions Of parties in distress we have always
received for the applicant temporary help
until such time as the case could be In
vestigated. We have called the attention Of
Overseer Jackson to cases OF restitution re-
ferred to US or coming under our observa-
tton, but he has refused to give aid. l can
relate many Instances In proof Of this as
sertlon. On one occasion he said to Mrs.
belong: 81 don't want you or your husband
to 60 around looking up the poor. l Will
look after that myself"

Measure for Permanent Appropriation
Not Genernlly Favored.

Measure for Permanent Appropriation
Not Generally Favored.
PIERRE. S. D., Jan. 15.-(Special 1.-The
bill introduced in both houses for a per-
manent appropriation for the state educa-
tional institutions provides that there be
set aside eight-tenths Of 1 mill of the gem
eral state levy for the various state institu.
tons. This is to be divided among the in
stitutions as follows: Thirty-seven and one
half per cent to the State university at Ver-
million, Jpn per cent to the Agricultural
college at Brookings. Is per cent to the Mad
ison Normal school. Is per cent to the Spear
fish Normal school. 10 per cent to the
Springfield Normal school,. 10 per cent to the
School OF Mines. This measure Is not meet
ing with the assurances OF success which
gives 1t much foundation for going through.
The total general tax levy allowable under
the constitution is only 2 mills and this
would take nearly half the levy. Beside the
specific appropriation which has been made
in the past for each specific department OF
the institutions appears to be the most IA
vorable one. The main argument urged for
1t is that nearly all the other northwestern
states have adopted 1t and find 1t satisfac-
tory, but 1t Is not at present considered as
one of the probable laws of the present ses-
sion.
inc Dill introduced by Glass to tax notes,
mortgages and other interest bearing paper
is one which he has been advocating for
several sessions and has never been able to
get through. In the present case the bill
will come Into the house with an unfavo.-
able committee report and is likely to meet
the fate of its predecessors.
Considerable opposition Is developing 70
the bill to compel state and county officers
to purchase their supplies in the state. TIL.
supporters Of the bill are urging it on the
ground that such a measure was endorsed
in the platforms Of both the republican and
populist parties and that the passage Of
such a measure is only keeping faith with
the people on platform pledges. 1t is being
strongly fought and while it may pass it Is
more likely to meet the fate Of the same
bill In the last session.
There are not yet any evidences Of a
compromise in the penitentiary warden deal
and unless 1t is fixed up in a satisfactory
manner within a day or two the democrats,
who have declared they would assist the
republicans in passing measures over the
veto Of the governor, will be put to the
test. .

TRADE TO AMERICANS
Scotch Manufacturers Admit They Are
Behind the Times.
MUST ADOPT NEWER METHODS OR GIVE UP
In steel, Engines and Machinery md
Leather Goods American Genius
turns I'M Tide I'm the
Worlds Marts.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The effect Of
American competition upon Scotch indus
tries in the three great lines, steel, engines
and machinery and leather goods, is set out
In a report to the Bureau Of Foreign Com
merce Of the State department from United
States Consul Fleming at Edinburgh. He
bases his report on a review Of the years
trade prepared for publication in a Scotch
newspaper by experts In the lines named.
The opinion Of the experts In the case Of
steel Is that the Scotch steelmaker has al
lowed his plant to get behind the times in
capacity, while the American steelmaker
kas made such enormous strides In produc-
ton that his extraordinary success seems to
threaten the trade of the world.
Touching the introduction abroad Of
American locomotives, experts are quoted to
show that the American machine, while sold
At a lower price than the British locomotive,
Is inferior In durability and other desirable
qualities and is being gradually crowded out
by the latter. This Is said to be the case
in Japan particularly, where the British and
American machines have been tried stimuli
taneously for some time past.
The difference in price in favor OF the
American locomotive is explained by the
theory that the new Winchester system Of
III h6iul CduS6uI inc
rejection Of much valuable material at all
stages Of manufacture. while the American
manufacturer is not obliged to submit to in
spection and therefore is enabled to use in
ferior material.
Yet They Buy Our Engines.
The consul. in rendering this opinion, adds
that the Midland Railway company in Eng
land has Just ordered twenty American loco
motives and 1t would seem that the mana
gers are not specially apprehensive that the
American machines cannot pass the British
test.
1t is admitted that the Americans and
Canadians still retain the bulk Of the i'm
portant trade in agricultural machinery and
have practically a monopoly.
There is also an open confession In the
case Of the boot and shoe trade that the
British cannot make a shoe equal to the
American product for the same price. The
expert says:
ITO our annoyance and irritation It must
be candidly admitted that their manufac-
lures for beauty Of style, handsome appear
ance and perfection Of fit excel ours; in
their words. they have gone one better on
u.s."
The British manufacturers had hoped that
the American shoe would be found to lack
wearing quality, but there again they were
disappointed, for the expert admits that
the American shoe is made of the same
leather that the British shoemaker uses. In
upper leather entirely, and in sole leather
to a great degree, the American leather ex-
cells the British currier and tanner, and the
latter have admitted they must adopt Amer.
lean methods II they are to survive.
A large part Of the British colonial trade
has been captured by the Americans. who
have now wrested away from the mother
country almost the whole of the boot and
shoe trade Of West Australia and Africa.
