Treatment of Anarchists.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4-No portion of the
Presidents message is more cordially ap
proved of in England than that referring
to the question of treatment Of Anarchists.
says the London correspondent Of the Trib-
nue. 1t is considered exceedingly crafty
ing that President Roosevelt should not be
afraid to make proposals. which on the sur
face are open TO that criticism that they
are subversive Of personal liberty in the
matter of opinion. In this country there is
a strong undercurrent of feeling against
laws which permit and actually encourage
the immigration of foreign Anarchists
London, especially, feels strongly on the
point, and owing 10 the vast number Of I'M
desirable aliens who have taken up their
abode in the East End. the metropolis
would gladly welcome any restrictive meas
ures. In reference to the proposal that
mankind should bind itself together to
make anarchy, like piracy crime against
the law of nations, it is pointed out that the
difficulty is TO define what anarchy con-
sists of, and 10 obtain trustworthy evidence
against those holding such doctrine be-
fore they commit overt acts which would
render them amenable TO ordinary criminal
law.

VICTORIA. B. c., Dec 4.-The steamer
Shine Maru, which arrived to-day, brought
further particulars of the massacre at
Balingiga, Samar. 1t seems the attack
was long planned and carried out with
precision. The night previous to the mas

the church TO pray for their husbands and
relations and during the day sealed cof-
fin was brought into the church. In this
coffin numbers of bolos were secreted, and
during the night the boloers stealthily hid
in the church and armed themselves. The
next morning the attackers were already
within the church, and one of the native
police gave the signal by wrestling a gun
from a sentry, and, after firing, crying the
word agreed upon. Then the bolomen sur

Press on MOnroeism.

VIENNA. Dec. 4-Discussing President
Roosevelt's message to Congress, the Aus
trian papers are unanimous in praising the
reference TO Anarchists. but on other points
they are not quite so laudatory.
The Fremdenblatt comments on the peace
full tone Of the message. remarking that
President Roosevelt evidently will not al
low himself TO be carried away by sense
less chauvinists.
The Neues Wiener Tageblatt dwells on its
'Imperialistic character" adding: There
lives in America, a spirit, as an append
ant to the Monroe doctrine formula, OF Eu-
rope for the Americans. and this formula,
although clad in the most peaceful phrases,
pervades the message"
The Deutsche VOlksbatt declares that the
policy enunciated must expand American
production. and, therefore, measures for
the protection Of Austrian production are
walton"
The Austrian Volks Zeitung believes that
the strength Of the message lies in the
moderation Of its tone. adding: 1T speaks
in the language of a strong n who knows
he requires no sonorous words TO be heard. :"
The Neues Wiener Journal also dealing
with the power OF the message, recon-
mendS its closest study so as 70 nnd

The Wiener Morgen Zeitung, following
similar lines, declares that the govern
ments Of al civilized states will only too
soon recognize the tremendous danger that
these measures constitute for the COM
mercial policy Of foreign communities.

LONDON, Dec. 4.-President Roosevelts

NATIONAL CONGRESS WILL BE
ASKED TO MEET HERE IN 1908.
Mayor Bookwalter VIII Send Invita-
tion-LOcaI Teams That Will
Go to Buffalo.

When the two teams Of Indianapolis
bowlers go to Buffalo next month to partici-
pate in the National Bowling tournament
they will make strong efforts to secure the
national tournament for Indianapolis in
have thought Of going to Buffalo have had
the matter in mind for some time and yes
terday the subject was given consideration
by some of the bowlers.
The National Bowling Congress is one of
the principal sporting events in amateur
circles in the country. 1t attracts bowlins
teams from all the large cities of the coun-
try and between 1900 and 5000 bowlers and
strangers to the city where the tourna-
ment is held. There will be teams at Buff
falo from all the large cities in the East
and all the most important cities from the
West. The tournament will last nearly
week and the city of Buffalo, it is said. will
be greatly benefited by the gathering of
such a large number of bowlers.
The invitation to the National Bowling
Congress to come to Indianapolis for its
next tournament will be extended by Mayor
Bookwalter and he may go TO Buffalo TO
urge it's acceptance. The matter mas not
been taken I'D with him, but the bowlers
who are interested in the matter will con-
fer with him this week. The Commercial
Club will also be interested in the matter
and that organization Will be asked to lend
its influence in bringing the congress to TINS
city. Last year the congress was held at
Chicago and the 1902 tournament Will be
held in Buffalo. In 1903 IL Will be held In
the West and Indianapolis bowlers believe
that If efforts are made to secure 1t the
tournament will be held in Indianapolis.
One of the leading members or the Mar
ion Club. and a prominent bowler, said yes
terday that if the bowling alleys in the city
will take the matter in hand and guarantee
a sum to be used for prizes and 10 defray
other expenses that subscriptions could be
secured from hotels and business men. Part
to be guaranteed by the city, but the large
part Of it would come from the entrance
fees. In Buffalo So, 900 was at first guaran-
teed in cash prizes, but so many entries
have been received that II is expected
there will be nearly 5000 to be distributed
as prizes.
The presidents of the Indianapolis and
Independent leagues will appoint delegates
to the bowling Congress, and they will
probably be men who will be entered in the
bowling contests. These men will exert
their influence to have the next meeting
held in Indianapolis.
The Marion Club team has already select
ed the men to go to Buffalo They are
Knox, Carter, Brown, Quill Leap and Bry-
son. A few members OF the club may &C
company the team as rooters. The team to
lected. Allen, Gardiner, Graft and Burton
will be four of the team, and the other two
will be chosen this week. The City Club
will bear part of the expense. Both In
dianapolis teams will enter in all the
events.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 4-PresiGent Roose-
velt's message sent here in full has been
very favorably received in government and
business circles. The general comment is
that his declaration in favor Of Cuban in
dependence and a free trade policy with
the island will greatly strengthen American
prestige all over Latin America. He has
completely disarmed the clerical press of
one of its principal arguments against the
Washington government
The Mexican Herald says to-day of the
message: Its sound sense and remarkable
comprehensiveness is matched by its re-
markable high literary quality. 1t is a
message on which patriotic Americans and
all lovers of human progress can take their
stand as on a platform of sound and in
MIGRATING principles. The message is con-
servative and yet progressive and is a
frank exposition of healthy American ideas
by the moderate and statesmanlike leader
of the American people,"

Views of German Officials.

BERLIN, Dec. 4.-The officials of the
Foreign Office here make a special applica-
ton of President Rosevelt's definition of
the Monroe doctrine, in his message to
Congress in Germany's dispute with Vene-
zuela. A Foreign Office official intimated
to-day that while a friendly adjustment of
Germany's claims is still expected a forci-
Bile settlement might become Germanys
duty at no distant date. Such a settlement,
If necessary. would not infringe on the
Presidents policy, nor offend the United
States in the least particular. The official
also said that the Presidents immigration
views were not of special interest to Ger
many now, because the immigration to
America was incOnSiderable.
