RAISES A SPECTRE.
London Paper Bids Us Beware
of Germany

London. Jan. 6.-The Spectator today
publishes article entitled Germany
and the Monroe doctrine" in which it
says:
America and not England is the rival in
German opinion It is with America and
not England that Germany realizes she
must struggle for supremacy We do not
say for moment that Germany regards
America as an enemy but Germany real
ICES it is America that at the moment lies
across GermanyS path and that unless
she is able to reckon with America on
equal terms she will not become the
world power of the future she desires to.
The Spectator then goes on to declare
Germany'S objective is South America.
but that the Monroe doctrine bars her
way. How to get around this is puzzling,
but the paper declares, Emperor William
counts upon the German vote in the
United States to help him when his new
navy is ready to carry out his South
America expansion idea, especially in
Brazil.
The Spectator then warns the United
States that if it intends to uphold the
Monroe doctrine in the future 1t must not
go to sleep over it now. but prepare to
support a navy and ar6y equal to the
strain of maintaining a policy so tre-
mendous- If not she is certain to suffer
great humiliation at the hands of the

When the hour comes, Germany Cont
be bluffed into respect of Monroeism. She
Will call the Americans fleet and if the

CASE is CLOSED.
Roberts Committee Adjourns
Until Next Wednesday.

Washington, Jan. 6.-When the Rob-
erts committee resumed it's sessions to-
day Mr. Roberts went on with his
argument begun yesterday. He re-
viewed the action of the constitutional
convention of Utah. urging that this
carried out the requirements of con-
gress for the admission of Utah as a
state, namely that polygamous mar
riages should no longer be contracted.
In particular, Mr. Roberts contended,
there was no requirement by congress,
or in the constitutional convention that
previously contracted matrimonial as
sociations should be interrupted.
In the course of his arguments Mr..
Roberts said that he had observed that
the ladies involved in this question of
plural wives were quite generally re-
ceiveG in the circles of gentle ladies
in Utah, He vehemently denounced
what he characterized as the sensation
al crusade made against him and also
the effort to arouse public feeling by
saying the American home" was in
danger.
IF necessary" he exclaimed, "I could
call atteption to ten thousand evils
which threaten the country without go
ing to the state of Utah.
In closing, Mr.. Roberts said that
patriotism of the Mormon church
toward the country could not be ques-
toned. When a, fund was raised for
the survivors of the battleship Maine,
the Mormon church had contributed
one-fifth of the entire amount. When
the country's authority in the Philip
pines was questioned Utah guns han
died by Utah mem had been in the
fore front of the fray.
Mr.. Schroeder, the gentle representa-
tive, stated that no further point would
be made on Roberts naturalization pa
pers as it was desired to exclude him
from congress speciS iSoally and solely on
the ground of his being a polygamist.
After the arguments closed members
of the committee attached some i'm
portance to a question asked by Chair
man Tayler of Mr.. Roberts relative to
the latter's being amenable while in the
District of Columbia to the Edmunds
act. 1t is understood that special at
tention may be given by the committee
to this feature.
At 1890 the arguments on both sides
were closed and the committee went in
to executive session.
At the executive session it was de-
cided to close the hearings and the tes-
timony unless ex-Secretary Carlisle de-
sired to be heard further. The COM
mittee then adjourned until 10 a. m.
next Wednesday.
There was no vote or other action on
the final disposition of the case.

TIE TROUBLE IN CALIFORNIA.

The indignation existing among Cali
fornia shippers over the action of the
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific roads in
declaring a right to route citrus fruit
shipments is well Illustrated by the fol-
lowing editorial from the Los Angeles
Express. The editorial constitutes the
first lucid explanation Of the railroads
action that has appeared. although con-
siderable matter has been sent out con-
cerning the trouble. 1t is as follows:
THE Santa Fe and Southern Pacific
railroads, in order to make effective a
criminal compact, have struck a heavy
blow at the citrus fruit industry of
Southern California. Some time ago
the two railroads entered into a COM
pact to divide equally the citrus fruit
shipping business of Southern Califor-
mia If one road hauls three-fourths of
the crop and the other only ne-fourth
each must, under the agreement still
receive one-half of the total amount of
money received from freights arising
from this source.
Heretofore shippers have been al
lowed to route their own cars to des-
tination. This has been a great ad-
vantage to shippers, as the custom per
mitted them to take advantage of the
market and to place their cars of fruit
where most needed. While it could not
however, prevent the railroads from
dividing profits, it did prevent the roads
from making an equal division of the
business. The result is that so far this
season the Santa Fe figures that it has
hauled about one-half of the crop and
wants to throw the business to its rival
which shares in the profits, but has not
so far done its share of the work In
order to equalize the hauling the two
roads have promulgated a new order.
which became effective yesterday, tax
Ing the routing of cars out of the hands
OF shippers. Shippers who will not
agree to allow the railroad company to
route cars as it pleases can not secure
the regular rate on carload lots of or
anges, but must pay the schedule rate.
The old rate heretofore allowed amount
ed to about 80 cents per box. The rate
that must now be paid, provided the
car is routed by the shipper, amounts
TO about S1.65 per box.
Persons engaged in all other lines of
business are permitted to route their
shipments. The refusal of the roads to
give orange shippers the same privilege
extended to others is rank discrimina-
tfOn, and a clear violation of the provi-
sions OF the interstate commerce law.
Ghe shippers are thoroughly aroused and

record as a fighter in the United States

TITANIC DE PACHMANN.
His "superb Technique is Equal to
Anything"

The Boston correspondent of the mus
ical Courier (NeW York; makes it clear
how Boston feels about the playing of
De Pachmann who comes to Topeka
January 18th. The Courier writer says:
De Pachmann had week of successes;
at both of the last recitals people were
turned away, and now there are one
hundred orders for seats in the event
that he give more recitals in Boston.
And what music he givesl What poe
tryi What genuinely soulful, brainful
music De Pachmann gives. Who can
find words to describe the subtleness,
the magic of this mans art. After hav-
ing been trained by tradition to expect
Chopin and Chopin and Chopin, how
is one to face the enormity of his
Beethoven, his Weber his Schumann,
and not be lost in amazement, admira-
ton and respect for this little Titan
even though it be his delicacy which is
titanic, but it is not more so than his
Interpretation. When the world will
know how to appreciate true, beautiful
art by one whose superb technic is
equal to anything, whose power is COM
pelling and commanding, and whose
musicianship and poetry are unsur-
passed, If not unequaled, then will De
Pachmann reign supreme and nightly.
The programmes given were the same as
those reviewed in the New York col
umns Of this paper, SO there is nothing
further to be said, save that Boston
wants more.

AFTER DEADBEATS.
Paper Dealers Inaugurate Black List
System.

The wholesale paper dealers of Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas are after dead
beat paper purchasers in earnest. AS
a result of the meeting of representa-
tives of the wholesale paper houses in
the southwest in Kansas City last week
a new credit system will be put into
operation which will have something
in the nature of a "black Hst'' as an
attachment.
The paper dealers claim that there are
many retail buyers and publishers who
systematically make a practice of beat
ing paper bills. They do this by chang
ing houses practically as often as they
make purchases. The new credit sys-
tenn will enable the various dealers to
keep tab on such customers, with the
result that delinquent bills will have
to be paid before paper can be pur-
chased in this territory.
