MISCELLANEOUS.
REFUSED TO TELL HER NAME.

New York Times: That a man cannot
be forced to divulge the name of his for
mer sweetheart was decreed by Justice
Fitzsimmons in the city court on Friday.
Steven w. Floyd, who had declined to
pay a bill to Morgan. Marsh & Co.. cigar
Dealers on the ground that he had no
money, had acknowledged to the justice,
and also in a supplementary examination.
that he once owned a watch. but he said
he had returned it to his old sweetheart,
who had given it to him. Bernard Vor-
haus. lawyer for F'loyd's creditors, de-
manded the name and address of the wo-
man.

GERMANS ARE NOW
COLONIzlNG SOUTH
AMERICAN COUNTRIES

New York, March 24-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Not only
are German subjects colonizing Brazil,
but many are settling in Guatemala and
at other points in Central and Southern
America.
AS the colonization is being done by
German subjects and not by the German
government, the United States cannot
apply the Monroe doctrine. 1t is appar-
ent to the authorities, however that the
German government by it's judicious sys-
tenn of fostering German immigration to
points where it's subjects will not lose
their nationality, is preparing for future
aggrandizement, commercially, if not po-
litically.
Information which has been received
here from South America shows that
the loss Of trade suffered by the United
States has in part been due to the activ-
ity of the Germans. An official discuss
ing the matter said that the loss of trade
was not so important.
1.-THE relations of nation with anoth-
er grow closer as their trade relations
prosper he observed. 1t was his opinion
that the United States should, as it has
done in the case of Mexico, endeavor to
induce it's capitalists to spend their mon
ey in Central and South America. Such
a policy would induce trade in return
and would result beneficially to American
interests.

Want the Law Modified

San Francisco, March 24-Consul Gen.
eral Ho Vow is endeavoring to secure a
modification of the Chinese restriction
act. He wants it amended so as to per-
init the unrestricted entry of bona fide
Chinese merchants into this country so
that commerce between the United
States and China may be fostered. He
explained his views at meeting of rep
resentative American merchants at
which several addresses in harmony
with them We're made. 1t was shown
that the Chinese merchants of San Fran
cisco pay nearly one-third of the import
duties collected at this port and that the
trade with China is almost wholly in
their hands.
A committee has been appointed to for
mulate plan of action looking to the
removal of restrictions against Chinese
merchants.

age across the Pacific and thecommission

day passed bill authorizing the presi-
dent to appoint commission to study
and make full report upon the COM
mercial and Industrial conditions of
China and Japan, and appropriating $75,-
900 for the payment of the expenses of
the commission. The bill aroused some
debate. Berry registered his protest
against the measure his opinion being
that too many commissions were being
created. Cockrell opposed the measure,
and stated the position Of the senate
minority on legislation.
1.-THE republican party Is in absolute
control, and we. on this side of the
chamber are powerless to prevent the
enactment of any Legislation coming

No Plague In Frisco.

San Francisco, March 24.-The board Of

of this city propose to call meeting for
the purpose of refuting sensational re-

fected business interests. There is no
plague scare here and despite the opin-
ion expressed by the board of health, the
statement is positively made that not a
single case of that disease has been dis
covered in Chinatown The Chinese quar-
ters are not under quarantine, but are

PRICE OF ARM0R
IS CAUSING MUCH
TALK IN CONGRESS-

New York, March PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Efforts
have been made by the members Of the
house committee on naval affairs to
reach an agreement on the price Of ar
NOR.
A majority of the committee is in favor
Of creating the limit at $545 per ton for
all the vessels under contract and for
those authorized in previous laws and
to be authorized by this years bill
Some Of the democrats, under the lead
ership Of Representative Wheeler Of
lucky, object to this and intend to car
ry the fight into the house, when the bill
is taken up for consideration.
At an informal meeting Of members Of
| the committe Mr.. Wheeler submitted
what is practically the ultimatum of the
men who stand with him. He raid that
he and those who agreed with him would
abandon their contention that some OF
the new ships should be built in navy
yards, they would agree to authorize the
payment of $545 per ton for the armor
for the three battleships already author
lied and would permit the secretary of
the navy to contract for armor for the
ships to be authorized by the present bill
If the best armOr could be obtained for
them at a reasonable cost
Mr. Wheeler suggested $445 as a rea-
sonable price. The condition on which
Mr.. Wheeler offered these concessions
was that if the secretary could not con-
tract for armor within the reasonable
price" an appropriation of $2,OOO0O0
should be made to be Immediately avail
able for the construction of govern
, ment armor plant.
No agreement was reached and 1t is
probable that the matter will be carried
into the house, the majority Of the COM
mittee insisting upon authorizing the
secretary to contract for armor at $545
per ton not only for the ships previous
ly authorized but for those carried by
the pending bill as well

NICE LEGAL QUESTION.

Alexandria (Va.) Spe. Baltimore Sun:
Corporation Attorney Garner L. Boothe
had before him this morning the case Of
Policeman Frank S. Spinks, who, it is
charged. has violated police regulations
by becoming a candidate for city SER
geant against Captain William H. Smith.
The police regulations forbid policemen
from engaging in politics, and the ques-
ton at issue is whether candidacy for a
municipal Office is forbidden by this rule.
The corporation attorney has found no
precedent on this question and il will
probably be determined upon general
principles.
