AMERICAN CIRCUS IN GERMANY.

AK la Chapelle is a busy manufacture
ing town in Germany close to the Bel
gian frontier. on a little tributary of the
Meuse river, says the Chicago Inter-
Ocean. IL has nearly 100000 inhabitants.
and Its numerous advantages make Il a
very busy and thriving city. Its sulphur
and thermal springs originally made it's
fortune. for Charlemagne was so pleased
with them that he made the place the
capital OF his empire. and. though the
town hall now occupies the site OF the
marble palace he built. the chapel that
he erected and in which he was buried
still exists as part of the cathedral.
Nearly 10000 visitors flock To AK la
ChapeIle every year TO take the waters
but the springs are by no means the only
source of its prosperity. IL has large
elements OF wealth in its coal. lead and
zinc mines. I'm it's metal working estab-
lishments, and I'm its cloth mills. A large
part of the people work in the mills
Late in September last the inhabita nts
OF the busy town had a new sensation.
1t was an American circus and curiosity
was aroused 20 the highest pitch by such
advertising as the people had never seen
before. The interest I'm the billboard dis
play and In the circus itself when II en-
tered the town with n great bare OF
trumpets was so great that Consul Brun-
dage thought IL worth while to send n re-
port about II 10 the State Department.
The art display on the billboard was a
revelation to everybody. The thrilling
and marvellous scenes TO be witnessed
under the canvas were depicted in the
most expansive and highly colored style
OF American circus art. Nothing like the
magnitude and stunning character OF this
bill posting had ever been seen In the
town before. and the free show given on
every dead wall was the talk Of AK la
Chapelle for a fortnight before the cir
Gus arrived. Thousands thronged around
the circus grounds when the big wagons
and tent hands arrived, and the way the
rings were prepared and the tents erected
caused even more astonishment than the
spectacular billhoards.
In fact nv the time the canvas door
Zap was turned back and the ticket seller
vas ready for business everybody I'm the
town had taken hand I'm advertising
the great American show. There was no
work for the factory hands that day Not
= workman wont TO the factories, and ev-
cry spindle iu the town was idle. "At
every performance" writes Col Brun-
dage "the tent was fun. The vague an
tipathy felt by the people for the United
states had been turned into respect and
awe. The people now say. Anything Is

measurements OF the new boat. AS Mr.
Lawson In out OF town at present and
will not return until late Saturday after
noon, Secretary clapp said he had no au-
thority to make the figures public. He
said that statement would be ready as
soon as Mr.. Lawson returned.
Mr.. crowninshield said there was no
necessity of keeping the figures secret
any longer. as work on both the Bristol
and English boats had reached such an
advanced stage that no advantage could
be gained by either OF his rival designers
IL accurate knowledge of the Boston
boats measurements did reach them.
Yesterday afternoon the SERVE board
was taken apart at Lawleys yard, all the
patterns In process OF construction hav-
ing previously been trued UP, and was
lantic Works In East Boston. The board
was made In sections and measures %

The first thing today the board will be
carted across 10 Noodle Island.
Yesterday the Oregon pine stick which
is 10 be used as mast I'm the Boston
boat was trimmed up, and the work OF

er Crowninshield says that the mast is to
be followed out TO such an extent that
the solid wood will be left six inches

THEY MUTIN|ED.
Porto Ricans Raise Tr0uh|a Be-
cause Of Lack Of Food.

Honolulu. Jan. II. via Victoria. b. c..
Jan. "a mutiny of Porto Ricans on
board an island steamer about TO take
them TO one OF the Hawaiian islands,
startled Honolulu Wednesday night of
this week. The vessel was stopped just
the action of the emigrants, one OF whom
drew a knife on the master OF the vessel.
Captain Olsen.
1t is stated that the cause of the trou-
BILE was the failure to feed the emigrants
The Porto Ricans say that all the food
they had on the day of their arrival in
Honolulu and up to the time of their de-
parture for Hawaii at about o'clock in
the afternoon was a bun for each.
When they were all put aboard the ISL
and steamer which was the Inter Island
company's packet Keauhou. they found
that the cook had no meat prepared. On
the vessel were 12S of the 1895 who came
here on the City of Peking. Lit was a
matter of some time for the cook to
prepare food for such number, hence
the row.
The Keauhou suddenly dropped her an
chor In the harbor a few minutes after
she had left the City of Peking and sig
nailed for the police. Deputy Sheriff
Chillingsworth and several OFFICERS went
out to thes vessel and restored order.
Captain Olsen wanted the man who
had drawn the knife arrested and taken
ashore. but the others threatened n gem
eral revolt IL this were done and the
man with the knife was allowed to re-
main on board.
A search was made for the knife but
IL could not found. Two nolicavnqp
remained aboard the vessel and she pro-
ceeded TO her destination. During tho
row the emigrants, who were destined
to various plantations became much
mixed that there is fear of more trouble
in sorting them out.
They had all been given tags bearing
their names and number, and the name
OF the plantation to which they were to
go. In their anger over the lack of food
and threatened arrest OF one OF their
number. many OF them tore the tags off
their clothes and threw them away.
Four hundred more negroes from tha
United States also arrived on the Peking.
Some vigorous local objections are be-
ginning to be heard to the importation
OF negro labor as IL is feared that soma
of the criminal experiences of the south
ern states may be repeated IL negroes are
brought in large numbers.
A row or this sort has already been re-
ported from Wiluku Maui, where pistols
are said to have been drawn during a
difficulty over some women.

HAVE NO RIGHTS.
Court Decides Against Anthony
Of. Al. In Park Land Case.

The appellate division OF the supreme
court in an opinion handed down today
holds that Charles A. Anthony and other
claimants have no right to certain lands
taken for Roger Williams Park.
The case was heard few days ago on
demurrer and the court says the COM
plainants bill states no case.
A jury found that George L. Tucker
had the title to the land taken. The city
settled with Mr.. Tucker, but the An
thongs claimed they had the right TO
certain streets on the land because after
a jury found that not only had Tucker
right to the lots but TO the streets and
pending. Tucker gave them a qutclaim
deed to the streets. The jury had found
Tucker was entitled TO no compensation
for the streets. A new trial was denied
by the appellate division of the supreme
court.
Chief Justice Stiness who writes the
opinion OF the court says, "The PROPOSE
tion that party. after he has settled his
claim for land which the jury found in
cluded the whole of II, can give an agree
ment or declaration to an unsuccessful
claimant which shall be of sufficient
force to overcome the verdict and the
decision of the court on petition for new
trial and again on rehearing Is ingenious,
but not sound. Yet on such a declaration
Is based. Tucker was found TO be the
owner OF the whole tract; he has received
his pay and released all rights TO the
city; the complainants have no title 10
the land; but by fuckers agreement with
them they claim to be entitled to sue
ceed to his equitable rights. On their own
statement they succeed to nothing"
