THE AMERICAN DANGER. '"
Central European Customs Agree
 ment is Advocated.

Berlin, Oct 2I.-The Bun der Industrielien held a general meeting here today al wnlcn was discussed ''The American Danger and the new German tariff.
 The general secretary of the Bund, pr. wen laerdt described the American danger as extremely grave and said that Germanys manufacturers were fully conscious of this danger. Referring to President Roosevelt re ported wish to come to terms with Germany, the speaker said: ''Germany's best policy will be to wait for the Americans to come to us and then to demand the removal of the worst injusticee and annoyances before we begin fixed treaty. Germany should refuse to act nn- til the United States reduces the duties De- low 20 per cent"
 Discussing the remedies at Germany's dis posai he said a tariff increase absolutely must be at piled. This he declared, would bring America to her senses and counteract the boundless despotism of the trusts.
 He recommended the formation Of central European customs union against the United States and declared that If 1t should prove impossible. then a common agreement should be made to treat American goods ciuerenuy from those of other countries.
 Other specuators warned their hearers against tariff war with the United States, since that country can easily ge. from other countries what 1t now imports from Ger many while Germany would be unable to do the game.
 The Rund adopted resolutions favoring the passage of the tariff bill after dropping the double system of duties on grain in order that Germany may have new duties for the secur- ing of advantageous trade relations with the United States. The Bun1 also recommends that the plan for Europen customs union against the United States be further consid- cred.

UPTON WILL NOT CHALLENGE
Shamrock II, However, Will Meet
 All Corners.

New York, Oct. H-Sir Thomas lipton will not be challenger for the Americas cup next year. In an interview late to- night Sir Thomas said:
 What I do intend to do is this: will leave the Shamrock II on this side She will remain here all next summer and will race with any and all boats that care to meet her, and I will come over my self"
 While Sir Thomas denied that he in- tended building a new challenger for next year, he would not deny that he would ultimately build a new boat. On this sub ject, he said
 ''I was beaten by a better boat than the Shamrock II. Under the circum- stances I do not see how 1 can ever ex- pect to lift the cup with my boat. No- body ever saw Sir Thomas Lipton put on his coat in the middle of a fight. and the fight for that cup has only begun. I cer- tainly mean to have another try for it, maybe several.
 The whole trouble is that you Yan- kees have a designer that is entirely too clever for the British The only way I can see is to go up to Bristol and see Nat ! Herreshoff and buy him off" jokingly declared Sir Thomas. ''I think there are no girls like American girls, but you may say for me that I will never get married | until lift that cup

 '"rhe rumor emanating from a Bulga- rian source that Miss Stone is hidden in the Vilayet of Salonika is regarded as very improbable" says the Sofia cor respondent of The Daily Telegraph.
 Charles II. Dickinson, United. States Consul General at Constantinople, Is still firmly convinced of the complicity of the Macedonian committee.
 In missionary circles the view is fa- vored that when the ransom is paid the hrigands shall also be granted amnesty and that all records of agreement with the band shall be cancelled.

without losing track Of them Occa-
sionally he would lose them for day,
and, finally after fifteen days in the
saddle, he could find no trace of the
outfit. At Green River, Wyo., however,
he learned that an outfit had arrived
at a ranch sixty miles north of that
place. Suspecting that it was the one
he was looking for he secured guide
and set out for the place. They ar
rived at the ranch between 2 and 8
O'Clock in the morning. Davis insist
ed on the guide staying in the back
ground and guarding the saddle horses
while he went to the house. A. knock
on the door was responded to by a
man who partly opened it and in
qulred what was wanted Davis in
quired for the five men, but was told
that they were not there. The ranch
owner then talked in an unusually
loud voice and insisted on keeping it
up in spite of a warning to keep quiet.
Davis finally felled him with a blow
OF his revolver just as his wife ap-.
peared. She was threatened with
death unless she kept quiet and was
ordered to tell where the men We're
She admitted that they were sleeping
in haystack about 200 yards from the
house. Davis went to the place de-
scribed and found them asleep. He
awoke them with command to hold
up their hands. There was a lively
skirmish, resulting in ope of the men
being killed outright, two severely
wounded, and two escaping in their
stocking feet. All the horses were re-
covered and the entire outfit taken to
Green River. On arriving at that point
and before the horses were taken care
of Davis learned of two men on their
way to town who were in their stock
ing feet. He concluded to keep a
watch for their arrival, but before
leaving the business part of the town
he discovered his men in a restaurant.
He covered them with brace Of re-
volvers and made them prisoners. The
horsethieves were taken to Sidney and
were sentenced to the penitentiary.
They were the first criminals Of the
kind ever caught in that vicinity who
escaped hanging.-Utica Globe.

Z T. R sROR
TO BA ~ DI rs

IN the secret service department of
the Union Pacific railroad there is en-
ployed a man who in the paImy days
OF OF wicked DeadWood, S. D., did more
70 break up the bandits of that region
Inan Ina any other Individual. and who
achieved fame as a man hunter. scout
and detective. He is Scott Davis. In
the spring Of 1875 Davis found himself
10 DeadWood, penniless. The stage
Ines We're then having trouble with
road agents and armed guards, called
ol'lultrlders, out were being sent out with
each coach. Davis applied for a posi-
Ilon and got it. His first trip was un-
eyentful, but the second was up to the
record OF that lawless time. While
crossing the plains in the northern
part of Nebraska three road agents
suddenly appeared and Davis was COM
PEELED for the first time to sight over
ms winchester at man. There were
number of shots fired on both sides,
and when the battle was over two dead
.hlghWaymen and one severely wound
ed were made additional baggage for
the stage the rest of the journey.
Within: two months Davis figured in
four hold-ups and the highwaymen be-
gan giving wide berth to the coaches
he attended. Davis was usually sent
out with the treasury coach, and it
was well known that successful raid
on this stage would net large returns
At one time the treasury coach, in
charge of others, was robbed by four
men. Davis was put on the trail to
run them down. In company with an
other fearless man they chased the
bandits over the bad lands in northern
Nebraska for a number of days. They
came up to them unexpectedly one
night and had an exciting fight, in
which two of the bandits were killed.
After the railroads superseded the
stage, Davis became a ranchman, and
while so engaged five horsethieves
drove off herd containing 600 head
Of horses from one of AL Patricks
ranches. Knowing of Davis ability as
a man-hunter Patrick sent for him.
When he arrived the trail was three
days old and he insisted on taking it
up alone. He followed it for a week
