AMERICA HOLDS THE RE|NS.
Financial Writers OF High Repute
Concede It.
GERMAN BoERsEs SUBMIT.

Berlin, Dec, 29.--In its yearly finan-
cial review the Franlsfurter Zeitung
points out that one of the most impor-
tant facts of the last twelve months
has been the growing influence OF the
United States upon the economic sit
-uation of Europe.
"In the first. months of the year"
says the writer, "when German indus
tries had not the remotest fear OF
reaction, it was the report from Amer
lea regarding the iron market and the
fear of flooding the German market
with American manufactures that ter
rified our markets and agitated our
boerses. This was the case even when
there was no important changes in the
business situation in the United States.
In short, oil the incidents indicating,
however remotely, that country's com
petition were discussed in their bear
ing upon our business situation, and
they thus become very important fac
tors in determining the attitude of the
German boerses and the quotations OF
securities.
"Wall street quotations frequently
became the standard of all the ex-
changes The entrance of the United
States into the ranks of the creditor
nations signifies change in the times.
Ever since the war with Spain the
United States government has pursued
undeviatingly world policy of world
conquest. European states must
familiarize themselves with the
thought that the United States will
have a very weighty word in deter
mining the new political consultations
among the leading nations. American
action in undertaking the Nicaraguan
canal also proves that the military and
st...l more the diplomatic participation
of the United States in the chief
troubles shall bear fruit"

For a $50. 900 Edifice.

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Members of the
Hyde Park Baptist church subscribed
$40. e25 toward new 100000 edifice.

nected.
1t took a little more than 30 minutes
to raise the money, averaging more
than 81 900 minute. The speed was
largely due to what some of the mem
bers jokingly termed the military
operations of DIR. I. w. Goodspeed.

struction of property was filed against

Terrific Gales in English Channel.

London, Dec. SILT is still unknown
what is the extent of the loss of life
and shipping caused by the storms
which ragged for two days along the
south of England and Wales, and in
the interior of Wales, and along the
west and northwest coast of France.
There are many wrecks and an i'm
mense loss of life. The breabwater at
Watshot, near Taunton, is a wreck
permitting a tremendous sea to have
full play against the shipping in the
harbor. Several steamers went adrift,
others foundered. The experience
there though great, is but an item in
the total of havoc wrought by the
storm.

Kansas Soldiers Did Not Vote.

Topeka Dec. 2S.-Not one of the
1900 soldiers in the Philippines were
enabled to cast their vote on election
day, although the ballots arrived in
Manila, October 80, week previous to
election day. Military red tape, it
seems, is to blame. The ballots were
forwarded from one station to the
other and finally pigeonholed until
after the election. The quartermaster
gdneral was unable to ascertain that
there were any Kansas soldiers in the
Philippines and made report of this
character to General Macarthur.
