FEAR GREEDY YANKEES
EUROPEANS TRYING TO DESTROY
OUR PRESTIGE IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Raising the Cry that the Colossus of
Latin-American Republics.

2 MEXICO CITY, Sept. 1O.-Private advices
received here from Brazil show that the
government there has been greatly infiu-
enced by the press regarding the alleged
secret understanding between the Bolivian
and the United States governments by
which the latter power was TO take over
the territory on the upper Amazon claimed
by Bolivia, region rich in rubber. 1t is
alleged in Rio de Janeiro that American
naval officers have reconnoitered and rough
ly surveyed the region and sent their secret
reports to Washington. 1t was first charged
that Mr.. Bryan, United States minister TO
Brazil, was a party to the agreement with
Bolivia but it is now said that the Bolivian
secret agent, named Uthoff, made the agree
ment with the United States consul at Para.
There Is some doubt about this, but such
is the belief of the Brazilian newspapers
and people, and the Argentine press has
begun, instigated by European residents. to
set up the cry that the colossus of the
north Is moving southwark and intends to
control and ultimately annex all South
America, and so dilgent has been the
propaganda of this story that the newspa-
pers in Mexico of the Clerical stripe have
taken it up editorially, predicting the alb
sorption of all this hemisphere by the
greedy and land hungry Americans who
are acquiring lands in Brazil and Peru and
who will soon be able to afford the Wash
ington government pretext for attempting
to overthrow the South American govern
mentS.'
The Buenos Ayres Standard controlled by
British subjects, asserts that President Ro-
cass visit to Brazil was TO consult with
the President of that country with view
to mutual defense against the Yankees.
There is no doubt that the Spanish and Eu-
ropean governments generally have given
their organs in Latin America the hint to
publish articles designed to embitter South
end. Central America against the United
States and it's people and break up the
growing sentiment in favor of Pan-Amer-
icanism. which is greatly dreaded by Eu-
ropean commercial interests so strongly in
trenched in South America where American
interests have few newspaper champions
and defenders. 1t is shrewdly calculated
on the United States the Americans
can be got into disfavOr and that con-
Cessions will be refused them.
The journey of William McElroy Curtis.
formerly of the Bureau of American Repub-
lies, to Peru and Bolivia is reported TO be
in the nature of secret mission for his
government. There Is a profoundly suspi-
c0us sentiment developing in Latin Ameri-
ca regarding the designs of the United
States whose power is dreaded and whose
administration Is accused of cherishing i'm
remarkable unanimity of the Mexican cler-
ical sheets and the South American journals
of all classes in dealing with this matter
makes 1t clear that it is prearranged cam
paign with view to exciting i'll will against
the Americans of the great Republic of
North America.

Exercises Over the Ex-Ambassador's
Remains tn He Held To-Day.

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. 10.-The funeral
OF James B. Eustis. former United States
ambassador to France will take place Mon
day evening at 7:30 o'clock from the home
OF the deceased, on Eustis avenue A short

and William c. Eustis. a nephew. Brief
committal services will be held at Louis
vile. There were many callers at the Eus-
It's cottage to-day offering condolences and
leaving floral tributes.
Mr.. Eustis's review Of the Dreyfus case,
with which he had been occupied during the
summer, had been so far completed that it
needed only the concluding chapter, and
that chapter would have been finished In
the reconviction OF Dreyfus Saturday. Mr..
Eustis did not live TO write it.

HARRISON'S LIFE IN PARIS.
The Former President Shows Simple
Domestic Tastes.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The Journals
Paris correspondent says: Zone of the
most interesting sights of the French capt.
tai is that of the domesticities and con-
nubialties of former President Harrison in
broad daylight in the Bois de Boulogne. He
is undoubtedly the legal luminary of the
Venezuelan commission, where speeches
fourteen days long have been delivered.
Every evening, when the cares and labors
Of the commission are over. President Har-
rison may be seen driving in plain car
riage in the Bots. The horses are common
place livery hacks, not too sure of foot nor
too sound of limb. He is invariably accom-
panied by Mrs. Harrison and the baby. His
affectionate attention to Mrs. Harrison
whose health is none too robust, Is noticed
by all who drive on the famous avenue.
"A scene of Acadian simplicity was wit
messed recently. When driving by weigh
ing machine in the Bots the ex-President
stopped his carriage, and, utterly obivious
him. proceeded to weigh himself. Then he
put Mrs. Harrison on the scales and finally
the baby. After having noted down their
respective weights he drove away con-
tentedly, evidently satisfied that Partisan
summer had not done much damage TO him
or his. This Is the man whose intellect is
suH-crowned, whose habits are democratic
and whom the Paris edition of the New
York Herald irreverently calls Big Hat
Harrison thereby belittiing Americans in
the eyes of Europe.

Star Pointer, Directly and Other Stars
to Pace and Trot This Week.
Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Sept. 10.-The
horses are arriving on all trains for the
races the coming week. The programme in
cludes three races each Of the four days be-
ginning with Tuesday, on which day also
Star Pointer, 1884, is advertised to start
to beat his record. The horses which were
at the Minnesota state fair the past week
came in to-day and tonight. Among these
were Directly, Giles Noyes and Tommy
Britton. George STAIRS string came from
Dubuque some days ago. as did Ben Kim
ney's horses, among which was Rita f.,
winner OF the 5000 stake for two-year-olds
at Nutwood Park. She also took third
money In the Horse Review $4,000 stake.
She is entered In the 2:24 trot, which IS on
the programme for Tuesday. Kinney also
2:3o pace, and Eyelet, 2:O615, entered in the
2:OS pace. The 2:0S pace on Tuesday Is likely
to be a sensational contest. Besides Airing
ton, whose 2:07A at Youngstown a few weeks
ago Is the fastest harness mile ever made
on half-mile track, there are entered The
Seal and William Nc. The great interest
of the week Is in the 2:04 pace on Thursday,
when Borough Park formerly Planet), An
anias, Directly and Sherman Clay are to
meet once more and perhaps finally decide
the question that has been much discussed
this season as TO which Is the best horse.
Ira Mcbride has the pool privilege. Sew
eral of the railroads have arranged to run
excursion trains, and 1t is believed the at
tendance will be large.

SEYMOUR, Ind, Sept 10.-The jackson
County Council has closed its first session
at Brownstown after making reduction of
$l2, 1870 in the estimates furnished by the
county officers and commissioners. The al
lowances made amount TO $I2,795.sc, but
large amount of this is on account of gravel
roads. This county has already 241 miles
of good roads and is now building Isl miles
more, which will make 1872 miles OF pike
roads in the county. The commissioners
sent in an estimate for their salaries at
81 200 and the council cut ii to 81 $50, or $3.50
each, the law allows. The township as
SCISSORS were also cut 81 500, and every ofl-
Ger. with the exception of the sheriff, had
their estimates reduced. The council made
an allowance of 5000 for a new building
on the poor farm in which to care for the
incurable insane. The taxpayers are pleased
with the work done by the council.

WATERLOO Ind, Sept. 10.-The cement
industry surrounding Helmer, northwest OF
this city, has caused quite a stir among the
farmers. The factory has been commenced
and the laying of the trenches is under way.
Work on the building will be pushed as
rapidly possible and will be completed
early in the spring. 1t will be the largest
and finest building of the kind in this part
of the United States, and as the mari has
been tested to be the finest in this section
ii is expected that the factory will be one
of the best plants in America. Hayward
City is the new town already being laid
out, and some of the lots have been sold.
Mr.. hayward, who owned the farm lano
on which the town is being built, is arrang
ing for the construction of a hotel and
boarding house. A large canning factory
and grist mill are also booked for the new
town.

Too Much "Christian Socialism,

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. 10.-There Is
considerable interest in Terre Haute in the
assignment of the Rev. Worth NJ. Tippy and
the Rev. Demitrius Tillotson by Bishop
Hurst at the Northwest Indiana Methodist
Conference tomorrow, because these two
ministers. who occupy the pupits i'm the two
big Methodist churches of this city, have
been devoting much of their time and
good part Of their sermons to the Christian
Social Crusade" at the head of which is the
Rev. ]. Stitt Wilson. of Chicago. There was
a report that in both congregations a strong
feeling existed in favor of calling on the
pastors to modify their views and sermons,
or consent to a dissolution of their relations
with the churches There was even a rumor
that each had been waited on by a commit
tee, but the Journal correspondent is assured
that there is no truth in this report. 1t was
said that probably individuals In the
churches had talked with the pastors, but
the official boards have asked for their re-
turn. The latest report is that Mr.. Tillot-
son Is wanted at Valparaiso, and that he
may go there.
The Rev. j. II. Hollingsworth. formerly of
Frankfort. and the Rev. W. H Wise. who
has been at College avenue Greencastle. I'M
I'll recently, have both resigned their pas
torates within the past year to devote them
selves 10 the crusade. There are said TO be
others in the conference who are much inn
bued with the belief that they should devote
themselves TO the cause of Christian So
cialism.'

SEVERE DROUGHT In TEXAS.
Fifty-TwO Days with Only Enough
Rain to Lay the Dust.

DALLAS, Tex, Sept 10.-After a pro-
'tracted drought of fifty-two days, in which
the maximum temperature has been over
100 degrees, rain fell to-day, but only enough
to lay the dust. The present dror ght is the
most severe in the history of the local

been necessary to economic to such an ex-
tent that street sprinkling and the use of
water on lawns, ETC., was abandoned. The
heavy rains north CT here will fill the rivers

son upon whose service the pension was
based had been in the ranks sixty days.
This was passed Jan. o. 1887. A like period
after the civil war will have passed by 1904.
1t would be much more serious matter
to allow a service pension for Union sole
of the war The act of June q. 1885, has in
operation approached a service pension, and
many persons think Ii might have been
passed a service pension law instead. The
first act granting pensions for service In

not entitled TO pensions under IL unless they

An Interesting table appended to the re-
port shows the annual value OF the pension
rolls since $780, and also the number OF en-
ployes I'm the bureau and the amount OF
their salaries. In 1873 there were 334 en-
ployes in the Pension Bureau. The num-
Der steadily increased until by 1881 IL had
reached 1000 1t has now dropped to ]. 741.
During Commissioner Dudleys administers

for expenses on account of special examina-
tons. Ever since Commissioner Dudley's
day 150 field examiners" have been en-
ployed. These positions are the prizes In
the pension office. for though the salary is
only about $500 the examiners are en-
titled to a per diem of So. which is paid
to a man who is stationed anywhere out
side of Washington. His residence may be
just as permanent in Brooklyn or Chicago
as IL would be here and entaiing no addi-
tional living expense, and yet the law al
lows him what is substantially bonus OF
81 600; this has resulted in this practice. At
tie beginning of Republican administra-
ton field examiners with Democratic infiu-
ence are called back into the pension of
flee. while the $50 clerks in the bureau here
who can command the most Republican
influence are sent out to take their places
in the field. The opposite course marks
the opening of Democratic administration.
OF course both these practices are occa-
sionally and TO a slight extent modified by
an examiners extraordinary fitness for GER
tain kinds of field investigation, and this
is work which imperatively demands train
ing and experience. The present adminis-
tration has allowed quite a number OF
Democratic examiners TO remain I'm the
field at points where their removal would
have entailed very serious loss.
