Drnsseis' Place on Sixth and Weller
Looted Last ytGht.

An exceedingly cool hoI6-up, netting
the robbers - and a gold watch valued
at SiiS. occurred at the Brussels saloon.
John Lewis, proprietor, South Sixth and
Weller streets. at 8 clock last evening
Nine or ten men. mostly dairymen and
1aborers, were congregated at the saloon
INDUCING in card-playing and other
amusernents, when the main door al the
corner OF the building was thrown open
and a short. th.ck-set man. armed with
an ugiy-looking club. entered and told
everybody 10 he,id up their hands. AS he
was closely followed by another. tall
man. who displayed a large Colts re-
yolver the command was instantly obey
ed BY everybody present.
Then the little man searched two or
three OF the most promising appearing
victims. empfied the till, and the pair
made their exit through the side door
and started on the run down the railroad
track
Peter Schoeimaster, who recently ar
rived frem Montana, the principal suf-
ferer OF the affair. started after the men
with a repeating shotgun and fred four
shots In the air. The robbers responded
with one that wen. equally wide of the
mark and disappeared I'm the darkness.
The Till Of the saloon rewarded the rob-
bers 10 the extent OF $3.50. School
master lost his watch valued at $ii5, and
about SIS IN money. and Con Clay, for
merry partner IN the saloon business
with Henry Hinckiey. los. $3.50. School
master had SIS in gold In his hip pocket.
which IN their hurry the robbers missed.
AS soon as the shots were fired great
crowd gathered at the saloon To talk
about #. and hurried call was sent to
the police station. Capt. Sullivan and
Detective cudihee responded and made
an investigation. Accurate descriptions
OF the men were as hard TO obtain as is
usual In such cases. They were the COM
mon long and short both dressed In
dark clothes and wore masks.
The bartender. Louis De Groote, was
not touched when the men went behind
the counter

NAY ii can be done. Letters and circulars
in English or even in Russian do bat lit
tie good. The Russians want to meet YOU
fact 10 face when they deal in large guam
titles. They are keen in business. and
therefore IL is necessary that only men
who can speak their language be sent.
Warehouses filled with a stock of what
ever you are Offering for sale should be
maintained. and with this once done Amer

England and German have worked UP their
trade In this way. and under the present
conditions ii viii be much easier for
America
More Ocean Carriers Needed.
The import business in Russia during
the past year has greatly increased for
US and also for America. What is now
wanted very badly is a merchant fleet
between the Pacific coast and Siberia,
China and Japan. Last year Chinese
ships were chartered by Siberian mer-
chants, sent empty-handed TO America
and brought home laden with commod-
tiles. The absence of this fleet, how.
ever, need not be an impeachment In the
trade, for as the demand increases in
all these Eastern countries vessels can be-
chartered as in the past. The American
eoAAid6C AEoLu the f'2CluC coast Is wholly
inadequate for even the present needs,
and until the Russian line of steamers is
put on there will be need for more tom
mage. After that. has been established,
however. there will be business for a
large marine from the Pacific coast II
the trade Is properly looked after. The
talk regarding the Port Arthur-Pacific
Coast line is to put on a monthly service
during the summer months. but even
this win fall short of the demands
Il have spoken more particularly of
flour because l have kept posted on that
trade Lumber I have mentioned as in
great demand because I know 1t is, and
particularly the kind produced by the
Puget sound mills.
But there Is another thing wanted in
the Orient. and particularly in Siberia
They need agricultural implements such
as plows. harrows. rakes and small farm
tools. Siberia, as I have said Is not de-
veioped agriculturally. There are some
districts along the line of railway that
are producing. but millions OF acres lie
idle With the Transsiberian road CON-
pleted and cheap transportation offered
the interior OF Siberia and all that part
OF Russia through which the line passes
will take on n new dress It will be
settled up and American products II
properly introduced will find an open
market and will command the trade"

Americans boast little over what
they have. There is one country in the
world that has good right TO re1oice
over what it has not. Japan is desti-
tute of one particular form Of evil. Its
authorities never have to put down pro-
fame swearing. There is, says the Evan
gelist, no oath in the japanese LAM
guage-no word that is equivalent to
an oath. Not only is there no native
word in which profanity may take ref
uge, but there is no imported word.
During the last ten years foreigners
have added thousands OF new words to
the language, but not one profane word
has been Incorporated. In this respect
Japan is believed TO stand atone among
the nations.-St. Louis Globe. De mocrat.
