DIR. Homer T. Fuller of Drury college

that the real division in the church is
along the line that large part of hui

Rev. Dr. Eldridge Mix, in ris-

With a Broken Hand He Knocks
Out Young" Kenny With lab

Hartford, Ct, Dec. 11-"Spil1e" Sui
Ivan of Ireland got the decision over
Young Kenny, the Chicago light
weight, in the sixth round of what was
scheduled, to be a twenty-round bout,
at 1873 pounds, before the Capitol City
A. c.. here tonight. Although care
fully nursing his recently broken right
hand Sullivan was the aggressor from
the start to finish He landed at will,
fairly carrying the Chicagoan off his
feet. In the first round he sent a
hard straight left to Kenny's jaw from
which the latter never fully recovered.
In fact, he was only saved from a
knockout by the bell.
In the second Kenny braced a little,
sending in several hot lefts, but the
third fourth and fifth were easily Sui
livan's. In the sixth, Kenny caught a
terrific left ON the jaw which sent him
to the floor. Referee Charley White
then stopped the fight, awarding the
decision to Sullivan.

JOY FELT IN BERLIN
Public Halls Disaster to the Brit
ish With Great GIee

Berlin. Dec. 1L-Gen. Gatacre's re-
verse, at Stormberg was joyfully greet
ed on the streets at Berlin; but the
newspapers, for the most part, are ret
icent on the subject. The Berliner
Tageblatt, which prints a long letter
from a German in London, advising the
public here against demonstrative an
glophobia, prints the news of the re-
pulse without comment.
The Vossiche Zeitung comments in
strain almost friendly, saying: after
the soldierly virtues which the British
have already shown in this war, it
may well be believed that Gen. Cat
acres troops fought as if on the parade
ground"
The Neuste Nachrichten asks if it is
against English custom to reconnoitre
before attacking. The Deutsche Tages
Zeitung is about the only paper this
evening which is distinctly anglophobe
in it's comments.

GERMAN BEET SUGAR.
tctter For America to Buy German

tctter For America to Buy German
Product Thnn Sugar From Java.
Washington, Aug. 21-Baron Won
Herman, agricultural expert of the Ger
man embassy, is Just back from a two
months visit to Germany, during
which period he had opportunity to
note the development of the agrarian
movement which is having such a
marked influence on German affairs,
including the question of exporting
German beet sugar to the United
States.
Concerning the agrarian movement
Baron Won Herman said: ut is very
strong and is turning it's attention to
the interests of the agricultural classes
of Germany. The sugar question is
essentially an agrarian one. Our sugar
interests are seriously injured by the
tax and countervaiing duties in the
American tariff law, and the agrarians
hold that this not only prejudices their
industry, but that it is discrimina-
ton against them. In the final analy-
sis it comes down to this simple ques-
ton: Shall there be a development
VI VIC cdne inuuStly VI uuciNllheu,
semi-barbarous countries, or shall
there be a continued use of the sugar
products of civilized countries, which
are able to buy something in return.
AS the United States does not pro-
duce the sugar actually required by
consumers, supply must come from
some outside source. Now, is it not
to the interest of this country to buy
of the German producers, rather than
turn to the cane industries of Java,
for example, when Java can give lit
tie or no return for the purchases made
of her2n

sCHURMAN SPEAKS OF F1L1pINos
The Philippine Commissioner Gives
his NiaXYS of the Ray0lutInn.

Chicago Aug. 21.-Jacob G. Schur-
man, United States commissioner to
the Philippines, arrived in Chicago
yesterday from the islands of which he
has just completed six months study
at the instance of President Mckinley.
In an interview he said.
"In my opinion the rebellion, the
last of which we are trying to suppress,
was due in the first place to several
causes, the principal of which were the
tyranny Of some of the religious ord
ers, the exercise of arbitrary power by
the governor generals and the delay
and corruption # justice.
1.-The leaders Of the rebellion tell
their followers the most astounding
tales Of the Americans, and the COM
mon people believe that the priests,
under American rule, would subject
them to the same tyranny. That the
American army killed priests or other
wise maltreated churchmen or church
property, is, believe, utterly without
foundation.
"Aguinaldo is believed in the islands
to be honest and l think that he is
acting honestly in money matters, but
whether from moral or political rea-
sons, would not say. While do not
care to discuss the real motives be-
hind the rebellion at this time l will
say that If it were suppressed there
would be many prominent native Of
ficials out of an occupation"
Mr.. Schurman told how the Tagalos,
who outnumber all the other tribes in
the vicinity of Manila, kept natives
of other races from showing their
friendiness towards the United States
even when it was impossible to secure
their active participation in the war
against us. 1.-The Tagalos," he said,
have sent out little bands of men to
the chief towns Of many of the islands.
They send rs or 100 armed men. and it
is easy for them to keep the unarmed
population of several thousand in
passive state. The principle is the same
as when three or four armed high way
men hold up passenger train. By
sheer force Of nerve and guns they
make the passengers all submit to be-
ing robbed. "'he Tagalos are equally
high handed in their methods"

ALL the howl made over the city
assessment will not avail anything
if City Council does not apply the
remedy which is in their hands.
The old manner of making the city
assessments needs improving and
should be remedied before the year
has passed away. The assessments
in the past have not been made by
a personal inspection of the assess
ors, but by copying from one book
to another. That is, the greater
number of properties. Some prop
critics are raised according to the
location and owners.
1t is said, and with all sincerity,
that it would be impossible to make
a house to house assessment once a
year, and have the duplicates ready
when the taxes are due with the
help the collectors and assessors
have at the present time. Then it
would be much better to have asses
sors and collectors separate. One
set of men to do the assessing and
the other to do the collecting, both
assessors and collectors to receive
stipulated salary. A revision of
numerous properties would cause
some to be lowered and others to be
raised.

STEAMERS THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
While Battling with the Storm Fire
Breaks Out.

Breaks Out.
Savannah, Ca, Aug. 21.-The steam
ship Kansas City which reached here
thrilling experience. The ship en-
countered the West Indian storm off
Cape Hatteras and battled it for two
days. Captain Fisher said 1t was the
severest storm he had ever encounter
ed. The Kansas City was driven 100
miles off her course seward. During
that time the SO passengers on board
had trying experience. The saloon
was flooded. the passengers were wet,
bed raggled and sick, some of the wo-
men were hysterical and some of the
men not much better. The doors and
windows were battened, but every mo-
ment during the tiercest of the storm
1t was feared the skylights would be
broken In and let the waves through.
At one time the danger of fire was
added to the horror of the storm and
the ship and her company faced death
from the fury of all the elements Fri
day morning the electric light wires
set fire to the casing in the after COM
panon way. The fire worked its way
along the casing to the main saloon.
The alarm was given and the call to
quarters was sounded. The storm was
still at its height, but the crew re-
sponded quickly to the call and the
fire was subdued. The only casualties
were to the captain and first officer,
the former injured by fall and the
latter internally injured by being
thrown to the deck.

enc Of the scenes of the Commune.

attacked the police with knives and
sofne fifty persons were injured in
the combat, and some twenty ar
rests were made. All evening the
