The Government Accused of buying
American Flour for the Army.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-The latest grievance
CT English trade against America consists
in the government purchasing flour in the
United States for South Africa. writer
in the Morning Post declares This action is
fit subject for an inquiry and that it
constitutes a most unfair handicap for
English millers, ''wnile the Americans who
pay no taxes, are able TO dispose of in
ferior grades" 1t appears that large guam
titles are being purchased in America on
account of the standard brands and ship
ment being better and ready at the dock.
The champion Of the English millers main
tains the government is wrong i'm believ-
ing the American. article has these adj
vantages, averring that the English mills
are now fitted with machinery superior TO
that in use in America, and that they are
quite able TO supply the demands for South
Africa. The protest, however, is not likely
to deter the government from partonizing
this new branch of American industry.
Another example of American aggres-
sion calls forth a protest 1t appears that
wealthy American Is negotiating to buy
the famous Carshalton Cor Casehorton)

name, ten miles from London. These arc

They stretch 120 feet, were designed by
Leoni and are supposed to be the finest
specimens in the world. Iron work is at
tached to massive stone piers surmo,nted
by groups of statuary. If the negotiations
are successful they will be taken to Amer
lea, though art circles are getting up a
fund in an endeavor, by outbidding TO re-
tain them in England.

RIVAL ASPHALT COMPANIES.
Conflicting Statements Regarding the
Venezuelan Concessions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. - Solicitor PEN
field. of the State Department, to-day heard
Gen. Francis Greene and Lawyer Bean. of
New York. in reference to the conflicting
asphalt concessions in Venezuela. These
gentlemen represent the New York and
Bermudez Company, which has been in
possession of the asphalt concessions for
the past twelve years and whose prop.
erty is now claimed by La Felicidad con-
cessionaires under later title from the
Venezuelan government. The argument
lasted about an hour and a half. In sub
stance 1t was devoted TO showing that the
action of the Venezuelan government in
seeking to dspossess the New York com
pany was illegal and arbitrary and had
been declared such by the Supreme Court OF
Venezuela. General Greene addressed him
self at some length to meeting an allega-
ton that had been set up by the other side
to the effect that the original title of his
company was defective. He produced a
map made in 1883 showing that the conces-
sion was located by meandering line
following a footpath to the nearest town
He claimed that the Venezuelan govern
ment had arbitrarily Strengthened this line
in its map of definite location, thus throw
ing the New York company's concession
beyond the asphalt lakes, which are the
bone of contention.
The solicitor of the department also heard
arguments in behalf of La Felicfdad nv.
Messrs. Warner, Quinlan & SulIiva n
strongly defending the action of the Van
ezuelan government in the premises. He
will now take the case under considerat ion
with view TO submitting a renort a,I
recommendation on the subject to Secre
tary Hay. Meanwhile Minister I,oomis a

HIS LIFE THREATENED
BANKER CUNNINGHAM MUST PAY
OVER $1,000 IN GOLD,
Or His Brains VIII BE Blown Out at
First OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Re-
ceived by MissOurian.

JOPLIN, Mo-, Jan. 5.-Thomas Cunning
ham, president of the Bank of Joplin yes
terday received a letter through the mail
demanding that he place $1,000 in gold in
a sack and deposit it at a designated spot
south of Joplin. If he should refuse TO
comply the writer threatened to shoot
Cunningham on sight. President Cunning
ham consulted with the police department
Il was decided to fill bag with rocks and
leave it at the place indicated. Officers
concealed themselves near the place and
waited all night but no one put in an ap-
pearance. The police are working on the
case. The letter received by President
Cunningham was undated and unsigned
Il follows:
''To Tom Cunningham, Joplin:
Il have been laying for chance to get
even with YOU We have decided not to
kill you If you will put $1,000 in gold in a
white, soft sack and take the 7:30 o'clock
car at Fifth street, go one-half mile west
OF Blendville and drop it off the rear end
of the car as the car crosses the railroad.
We will call IL even with you then. If you
fail TO do this L will blow your brains out
the first chance, if 1 have TO do ii in your
own bank. If you should fail the next
man we call on Will certainly give up
after he sees the fix we leave you in. If
you don't consider your life worth 81 900
we will have 1t, and If you should ever
mention THIS 10 any one we VIII certainly
kill You afterwards. We are not trying
TO bluff; We mean just what we say It's
revenge we want and we will have it. Re-
turn this letter with the money"
The letter was reasonably well written.
II covered two sheets of large size tablet
paper. Ii was inclosed in a common size
white envelope, plainly addressed and had
been mailed at the Joplin postoffice at $500 a.
m, Jan. 4. President Cunningham pro-
fesses not TO be worried over the affair
The chief OF police says he believes the
letter TO be the production Of cranks

LEO LOVES THE FRENCH.
Archbishop Favier Tells of His In
terview with the Pope

MARSEILLES, Jan. 5.--Archbishop Fa-
vier, the head of the French mission in
north China and vicar apostolic of Peking
arrived here to-day from the Chinese capt.
tai, after short visit to Rome. where he
discussed with the Pope the situation in
China. In conversation regarding the sit
uation had with the Pope on Dec. by a
correspondent of the Matin, in the course
of which his Holiness made highly inpor-
tant statement Of the Vatican's policy to-
ward the French republic apropos the in
tention of the Waldeck- Rousseau Ministry
to introduce bill against the religious or
ders, and also in relation TO the letter from
the Pope TO Cardinal Richard, archbishop
of Paris. dealing with the proposed bill.
Archbishop Favier said: ST can affirm that
Pope Leo XIII is admirably disposed to-
ward France and has not the slightest in
tention OF resorting to the severe measures
which have been moOted, and that there is
no question of diplomatic rupture His
Holiness said TO me, I love France with all
my SOUL
Archbishop Favier said that the Pope
would never withdraw his protectorate over
the Christians in China from France and
that any effort of Germany TO this end
would remain fruitless. The archbishop is
an optimist regarding the Chinese situa-
ton and expresses the conviction that a
settlement Of the difficulty will shortly be
reached. He proceeded for Paris. where he
will confer with NJ. Delcasse, the minister
of foreign affairs.

and statuary brought from Italy. Wrights
stables alone cost a small fortune. They
have upholstered oak and leather settees
and polished gun-metal fittings, while VAL
liable paintings and bas-reliefs adorn the
stalls. The private yacht is fitted up with
similar luxuriance. Everything he owned
had TO be of the best. To crafty this
desire there was no stint in expenditure
The increase in the cost of membership

satisfactory asset in case of failure. The
lack of the latter commodity caused Seri-
