INTEREST KEEN IN BERLIN.
Rejoicing There at the Tone of the
Dispatches.


Dispatches.
Berlin, Sept. 1O.-Everybody here re-
joices in the reassuring dispatches as
to the condition Of President Mckinley.
Public interest in the outcome has in
no way abated. A fine picture of Mr..
Mckinley in the window of the Office
of the Lokal Anzeiger attracted great
crowds to-day, those who studied it
commenting upon his characteristic
features.
The Berliner Tageblatt refers to the
fact that the municipal council of
Paris, the Lord Mayor of London and
the London Chamber of Commerce. to-
gether with other public bodies, have
sent dispatches of sympathy, and it ex-
presses wonder that the Berlin corpora
tions have failed to do the same, ''es-
pecially since there are so many points
of contact between Germany and the
United States"
The German papers point out that
the anarehistic propaganda will con-
stitute, common danger; and they
recommend some precautions.
Great states should unite" says one
journal, ''in fighting criminals who in
discriminatory organize. execute and
celebrate assassination in America and
Europe. Everywhere in Europe the
energetic action of the United States
against anarchism would be hailed
with satisfaction
The Cologne Gazette semi officially
to-day says:
Europe has already done so much
to check anarchism that it can now
leave the problem to the Americans,
who are an eminently practical people,
and doubtless will devise means of
roofing out the evil in their own coun-
try. Europe will look with the great
est interest to the Inauguration of such
a crusade and will doubtless learn
something to its own advantage"

APPEALED TO SUPREME COURT.
Brunswick Wants Case Against
Harvey Reversed.

Harvey Reversed.
Brunswick, Ga. Sept. 10.-Attorneys
for the city have appealed to the Su-
preme Court to reverse the decision of
Judge Bishop in the case against H. H.
Harvey, former city treasurer. This is
in the civil suit against Mr.. Harvey
which Judge Bishop recently threw out
of court in a very sweeping decision
aaginst the attorneys for the city.
The suit was originally filed by for
mer City Attorney Owen Johnson, and
is one of several on the dockets of both
courts. In all the previous ones tried
attorneys for Mr.. Harvey have been
successful in their legal contentions,
and the outcome OF the present one be-
fore the higher court is being awaited
with interest by the members OF the
local bar. Many fine law points are in
volved in these suits, and some new
wrinkles in corporation practice have
been shown by Crovatt & Whitfield,
who as attorneys for the bond COM
pany, have been largely prominent in
all the, suits to date.
Down on Jekyl Island work on the
new additions to the club houses and
the new buildings annexes and stables
being erected by various members as
individuals is going steadily on and by
the time the season of 1901-1902 opens
there will be some handsome new
places to greet the visitors eye.
This work is all being done by home
labor and by a home contractor, Mr..
w. H. Bowen, who recently secured
the new government building contract
and it is a good thing for the Bruins
wick merchants as they are getting a
good deal of cash revenue in trade
from the many people employed there.
The total amount being expended is
about 100000, and some fine improve
ments will be gained for this amount.
recent statement published by the
Mayor and Council as taken from the
city treasurers book for the past six
months, shows that(the present admin
istration has saved the city $4,000 per
month in its running expenses. This
excellent showing is in keeping with
the work that has been done by the
present administration since it's induc-
ton in Office, and the city is prosper
ing.

TO TRY HABEAs CORPUS.
In Behalf of Nine Chicago Anarch-
lists Under Arrest.

Chicago, Sept. 1o.-An application
will be made tomorrow for writ OF
hebeas corpus in behalf of the nine an
archists now under arrest charged with
conspiracy to murder President Nc
Kinley The name of Emma Goldman
also probably will be included in the
petition.
In the evidence which can be pro-
duced to hold the prisoners, it is said,
the Chicago police have the following
telegram from the Buffalo chief of po-
lice:
"Czolgosz was in Chicago Aug. IS, in
company of Emma Goldman and Abra-
ham Isaak at Isaak's Office"
The Chicago police do not know on
what evidence this statement is based,
but take it for granted that it is a
part of the confession of Czolgosz.
The decision to resort to habeas cor
pus was reached after many efforts
had been made to induce the authori-
ties to release the prisoners on bail.
