be dealt to Christianity in Asia For this
reason It Is said the Methodist Church will
do everything in Its power to find her and
release her from her captives. In mission
airy circles the kidnapping has created as
much excitement the disappearance of
Miss Ellen Stone did two years ago and IL
is even likely that the government will be
asked to take such sips as it can to In
sure her release.
The English government will doubtless be
asked to put in motion the machinery of
its Indian government instantly.
For ten years SOoboonlgam Animal has
been the most important woman convert
from Brahminism to be found In Madras.
She came from the Pantulu sect the
priestly class and strictest sect of the high
cast Hndus. Her father was the first to
take double degree In the University of
Madras. Later he became one of the ex-
aminers of the university and was high In
the government service. Sooboonagam's
uncle is the great high priest over the Sal
wife Erahmins.
Sooboonagam has led life of terror ever
since her conversion to Christianity. She
was educated as a Brahmn and married at
the age of ten, taking the name of Animal,
10000 rupees being spent at her wedding.
She became acquainted with Miss Stephens.
who gave her q Bible to read. AT first the
girl refused the volume. holding up her
hands in horror. Her thirst for knowledge
was SO great however, that she finally
read it through. and then. throwing herself
at Miss Stephens feet, said:
II am Gods Christian gift to you"
Her family were Mortified at what they
regarded as their public disgrace. Her
mother offered 100000 to the missionaries
to give her up after mob had failed to
get her Being refused, the mother made a
pilgrimage to the Ganges river to atone
for her daughters sins The girls reia-
tiyes and friends held a three days funeral
service. performed over her efhgy by Brah-
min priests, the exercises eliminating in
burial ceremony over the ashes of the
effigy.
Later Miss Stephens had reason to believe
that some one was trying TO poison 500
hoonagam Under the subtle spell induced
by some secret drug the girl began 20 pine
awav she became mysteriously i'll. and
Miss Stephens brought her to America She
recovered from the poison, but had to re-
turn to Madras because of her health

How It Affects Imports From

IN EFFECT NEXT MARCH
IMPORTANCE OF UNITED STATES
TO GERMAN FOREIGN COMMERCE.
Cotton and Copper to Be Admitted Free
Other Rates Higher Than
Existing Ones.

The bureau of statistics of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor today issued
a bulletin on the new German tariff and its
effect upon staple imports from the United
States. The bulletin says:
The action of the German reichstag in
ratifying. on February ~ of the current
year. the new commercial treaties with
Russia. Austria Hungary, Itay, Switzer-
land. Belgium, Roumania ard Serv!a COM
pletss the work OF preparation of a new
German tariff which the government of
the empire has been engaged since 1897.
The new tariff law VIII go into effect
March l. 1865, and will remain in force
at least until the close OF the year 1917.
The German tariff consists of a double
set of duties. the general rates, which re-
ceived the sanction of law December -,
1902 Though they have not been put into
force as yeD, and the conventional or
those arrived at by means of bargaining
with foreign countries and embodied IN
treaties or conventions mentioned above.
Not all the ties of the general tariff are
reduced in the conventional; the rcduc-
lions which occur are made in conside1a-
ton of equivalent concessions by other
countries. While the different countries
are each trying to secure through nego-
tia tiOns, lower rates of import duties on
those articles which constitute important
items in their export trade with Germany,
the combined lowest conventional rates
agreed upon with the different parties to
the treaties are made applicable alike to
all the countries enjoying The benefit OF the
most favored nation treatment. BY that
Is meant In Europe that the nation en-
joyin8 such privilege can not be subjected
to higher import duties on Its products
than those levied on similar products COM
ing from other countries

Georgia Negro Militia Abolished.

The negro companies of the Georgia state
militia were abolished by legislative enact
ment at Atlanta yesterday. Gov. Terrell
announced that the measure meets with his
approval and the negro troops under arms
in George will be mustered out OF she serv-
ice before the end of the week.
There are five negro companies in the
state three at Savannah. one at Augusta
and one at Macon. They vary in strength
from fifty to sixty men.
The reasons for the bill involved both
the efficiency of the service and the matter
of precedence Under the terms of the
Dick bill some of the negro companies
would take precedence over some of the
white companies. This was deemed suffl-
GENTLY Objectionable for the senate to pass
the measure by vote of 80 to o.
