GERMAN SHIPS SENT SOUTH.

Two Cruisers Sail for South Africa to
Watch British Vessels.
1t is announced that the German pro-
tected cruisers Condor and Schwalbe
have sailed for Delagoa Bay. With the
exception of the most sensational jour
mails the German press comments sober
ly, although with manifest irritation, up
on the Bundesrath incident. Political cir
cles think Great Britain is making mis-
take in not assuming a definite and de-
cided attitude on the contraband Ques-
ton.
Regarding the seizure by the British
cruiser Magicienne Of the imperial mail
steamer Bundesrath Of the German East
African line high official of the Ger
man foreign Office, who was interviewed
by the correspondent of the Associated
Press, said: "Silence must be preserved
at present concerning the actual status
of the negotiations which have been be-
gun with Great Britain about the matter.
Appropriate steps have been taken, of
which Germany must await the results.
The matter is regarded by Germany as
Of the utmost Importance, because seri-
ously involving the rights of neutrals."
1t is asserted in German Government
circles that the British right of search is
questioned and that, in any event, the
British right to stop passengers, whether
they intend to fight for the Beers or not,
is strenuously disputed, as the vessel up
on which they were is neutral and the
territory to which they were proceeding,
namely, Delagoa Bay, is also neutral.
Redress, it is asserted, will be insisted
upon by Germany.

CLAIMS AGAINST INDIANS.
Acts of Pure "Cussedness' Cost Uncle
Sam S5,OOO,OOO a Year,


1t costs Uncle Sam nearly $5,000,O00 a
year for acts of pure cussedness commit
ted by Indians against the white and
Mexican settlers of the Southwest. This
sum is paid under the Indian depreciation
law, passed by Congress in 1892. Few
people in the East know of this law and
the amount Of work it devolves upon the
department of justice, as they have new
er crossed the Indians trail when he is
on one of his periodical tantrums. But
in the territories and in the State of
Texas are thousands of folk who have
lost relatives and property during the
Indians playful periods. TO recompense
them for their losses Congress passed the
depreciation law.
Some of the claims stretch back fifty
years, when the Indian was wild and free
and full of natural cussedness. 1t is all
right for Los friends to say that he Is
generally driven to acts Of violence
against the whites, but the fact remains
hard and cold that there have been times
innumerable when he required no extran-
eous provocation to start him on the war
path. The nervous construction of the
red man is Of such a sensitive nature
that it impels him to break loose about
once in so often, otherwise he would be-
come so lazy and Indifferent to his own
importance that somebody would have to
feed him or he would starve to death.

Gen. French, according to Cape Town
dispatch, occupied Colesburg Sunday
with very little fighting, what there was
being confined to the outposts. The
British losses were only three men killed
and eight wounded. The generals report
of the occupation of the town was re-
ceived at the war Office in London:
'At $3.50 o'clock Sunday morning, after
a nights march, occupied kopje over
looking West Colesburg. The enemy's
outposts were completely surprised. !
shelled the Beers laager, he enemy re-
plying vigorously, but later being silenc-
ed he retired northward, where he occu'
pied hill. The Beers were also south.
east of Coliesburg toward the junction.
Our position cuts the enemy's line Of
retreat via the road bridge. A force Of
1000 Beers with two guns is reported
to be returning to Norvals Pont on the
Orange river. Our casualties were three
killed and several wounded"
Gen. French's victory caused great sat
isfaction and furnished the London news
papers occasion to print more pleasing
headlines than have been seen for some
months. While it is recognized French's
success is not one of vital Importance
materially, the cheering effect of it is
salutary after the depression caused by
a string of British defeats. The mill
tary experts unite in praising French's
operation, dwelling particularly on the
rapidity with which he moved and the
fact that he did not attempt to storm an
impregnable position. The success of the
cavalry fanking movement is seized upon
as illustrating the advantage of large
mounted force with which to fight the
Beers and which the Government has
been so slow to recognize.
Altogether, French's victory and the
methods by which he gained it are the
first good fruits Of the "eye-opener" the
Beers have given England, and the hope
is expressed in London, says q correspon-
dent, that the other British commanders
will profit by the example. Gen. French
is the one British commander who, thus
far, has not received a check. He has
beaten the Beers by outhanking them re-
peatedly. This is the first time in the
South African war in which the Beers
have been routed by flank movement.
The force under Gen. French is 1000
strong, and is composed of cavalry
brigade, one or two batteries Of horse ar
tillery, some infantry, one field battery
and some colonial cavalry. On the 7th
Of December his forces, having moved
out of Nauuwport, drove the Beers out
of Arundel, since which time he has been
maneuvering, which has resulted in dis
lodging the Beers from Colesburg.

OPEN DOOR IN CHINA.
Leading European Countries Assent to
Policy of the United States.

A diplomatic triumph of no small mag
nitude has been scored by the United
States in securing the assent Of the lead
ing European countries and of Japan to
the "open door" in China. The an
nouncement of the joining of Great Brit
ain, Germany, France, Russia and
Japan in Americas proposals looking to
equal privileges in oriental trade was
recently made by Secretary Hay. The
. only country that has not yet come in Is
Italy and its approval is regarded as
certain.
In estimating the Importance of this
it must be remembered that England
some months ago was almost prepared
to deliver an ultimatum to Russia upon
the subject and in effect, practically, was
seeking such an alliance as would com
pei an "open door" in Chinese trade. The
United States refrained from entering
into any entanglements with other pow
ers to enforce such a policy in the in
terests of trade. This left the Govern
ment a free hand and the result is that
this country has been able to secure q
common understanding on the subject
among the powers chiefly concerned.
What Russia, for instance, would prob
ably have evaded a direct reply to, had
the proposal come from Great Britain,
she willingly and readily accedes to when
proposed by the United States.
Secretary Hays recent inquiries as to
the purposes of the powers in regard to
the "open door" found ready attention
and acquiescence, and an understanding
of vast Importance has been secured.
This is the first direct acknowledgment
by European countries of Americas en-
trance upon the stage in the east as a
world power. There is no country of
Europe at present that is not anxious to
be on good terms with the great repub-
lie of the west.
The London Times, commenting upon
the assurances given by the powers to
the United States regarding the open
door in China, says:
Nowhere will they be hailed with
greater satisfaction than in Great Brit
ain, and nowhere will the particulars
of the arrangement be awaited with deep
er interest. The American republic is
the last power in the world that would
have gone to the trouble of getting pa
per assurances and then allow them to
remain paper assurances only.
IF she has got them it is because she
means them to be observed. 1t is to be
hoped that in fulfilling that intention she
will always receive the vigorous, unflinch-
ing support Of the initiators of the policy
she has adopted

BEET SUGAR.
Some Information in Regard to tn
Crop in Nebraska.

some information I'm Regard to the
Crop in Nebraska.
The officials of the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy Railroad have been col
lecting some information concerning the
sugar beet industry in Nebraska. Some
difficulty was encountered early in the
season in securing sufficient acreage
for the two large factories there. But
the final result was an acreage sufficient
to meet all requirements.
The weather conditions early in the
season were favorable for planting and
cultivating the beet, so that a good stand
was secured. The crop matured in ex-
cellent condition, and is making very
large yield. The factories at Grand ISL
and and Norfolk began operations about
Oct. j, and are making a successful run,
with prospect of a larger sugar output
than in any preceding year. The price
paid to the farmer usually is 81 ton,
but the very good quality Of this seasons
crop will secure So a ton. The output
of the factories in the State this season
Is estimated to be about 25,OOO, ,OOO
pounds.

State aud National OfRcers In Conflict
Over killing Of Soldier.
A conflict OF State and national au-

at Fort Crook. Neb, by the arrest on q
State warrant OF Corporal Fair and Fri
vate Jackson on the charge Of murder.
They are charged with killing Private
Morgan In that locality few weeks ago.
The men were exonerated by court
martial. The Attorney General was ask
cd by the Governor to investigate the
case. and expressed an opinion that 1t
should be tried by the State, like any
other murder. The dead man was at
tempting to escape after having enlisted.
He had reached place ten miles from
the fort when the soldiers overlook him
and shot him when he attempted to run.
Much feeling has been wrought up In the
West over the matter. The War Depart
ment wired the Federal attorney to de-
fend, and District Attorney Summers
