Streets Will Be Caught.

streets VIII BE Sdu9ht.
Mayor Jones is fully determined that
all persons who desire to own dogs
must either pay the license fee or part
with the dog. With this object in view
dog catchers have been employed and
started this morning to corrall all doga
which have not attached TO their col
lars the 1909 tag. Mayor Jones does
not propose to put up with the con-
ditions that existed last year when
many dogs were allowed to run around
without the license tags attached to
their collars. He is of the opinion
that this city has several hundred
worthless CANNES, and that it would
be q good thing to get rid of a few OF
them. All dogs captured will be taken
to the city pound, kept there three
days, if they are not called for and
at the end of that time they
will be killed

M'FARLAND'S REPORT.
United States Consul at Nottingham
Makes Interesting Deductions on
h~er;c,n Trade in Endand,


United States Consul S. G. NC
Farland, of Nottingham, Eng, former
ly of this city, has been quoted by
Frederic Emory, chief of the bureau Of
foreign commerce, in making public
the Commercial Relations for 1901
AS an illustration of the hold Ameri-
can goods and manufactured articles
have on European trade Mr. Emory
quotes Mr.. McFarland's report as Civ
ing the keenest insight into the situ-
alton. Most noticeable perhaps of all
prevailing trade conditions in England, .
says Consul Mcfarland, Is the antagon-
ism against foreign goods which has
sprung up among the British people,
The British people are nothing If not
loyal. There is a Discrimination to pur-
chase American or German wares. and
many lines of goods are now sold with
out comment which one or two years
ago were advertised as of American
make or American style The Diamond
Match Company parades it's goods I'M
der the old English name of Bryant
& May; the American tobacco trust
calls itself the English Tobacco Com
pany and advertises it's goods as made
in England by British workmen; the
proprietary medicines which We're first
introduced as American discoveries
now blot from their advertisements
everything which might identify them
as importations from the United
States. But despite all prejudices, con-
tinues the consul, and solely because
Of merit and cheapness, American
trade in every line continues to de-
velop."
The above remarks, MI. Emory says,
are confirmed by the contents of other
consular reports in England. A list

pany to examine one more witness. e. y.

Gas company of st. Louis. who was at
one time the superintendent of the To-

The testimony of Mr. Cohller was
taken after the noon recess, beginning

The hearing adjourned until Friday.
The testimony of Mr.. Morgan this
morning did not develop any facts OF
great Importance. Judge Mcfarland
questioned him in regard to certain
statements which the company filed with
the city clerk just after the suit against
the company was commenced These
reports covered the years 1896. 1897, 1898,
1899, 1900 and 1901. and were filed to
comply with the law, a formality which
the company had neglected. Mr.. Nor
gan was also asked for more details con-
corning some of the items in his sum-
marles filed with the master.
The attorneys for the city attempted
to go into the details of the company
transactions for the years prior to 1900,
but Mr.. Brock would not permit this.
He held that as the previous years had
not been introduced into the question
on the direct examination the city could
not take them Up on crOSs-exa nina ton.
In order to get at the facts for previous
years. the city will have to put MI.
Morgan on the stand as their own wit
ness.

Their Goods From Kensington.

London, Oct. 2S.-The American and
other art collectors who have loaned col
lections to the South Kensington mu-
scum, have been suddenly notified that
they must remove their paintings and
other treasures within six months. The
ostensible reason is that the museum
needs the space for its own art objects,
but it is publicly said that the authori-
ties have come to the conclusion that
the museum is only being used to save
storage fees. In this connection Amer
leans who objected to sending collect

the duties have been singled out and it
is asserted that they now find them
