WHAT A VISITOR FROM THE EAST

translation Of n Chinese officials view
of German beer comes through the col
umns of Les Annales Antialcoholiqucs.
The official IN question .has been re-
siding in Germany, whittier he was
sent on government mission. and
hence his observations are Of special
worth. He says:
"In the chamber of deputies the
brewers and distlllers carry all before
them. Enriched by alcohol and with
crowds of drinkers to support them,
they meet with little resistance in shap-
ing legislation to suit their interests.

ings sitting in large numbers before

beer kegs, with enormous paunchcs

II have learned of the manifold dis
orders which are produced by this per
fidious alcoholic poison. not excluding
murder itself. But / never meet any
one who condemns IL, for almost every
one is addicted TO tipping In greater
or less degree.
1T is true that devoted German mis-
sionaries are being sent to us; but.
alas. shiploads of beer accompany them
under the protection of government
fleets, and this besotting drink only
too surely ruins the few who have been
strong enough to escape the opium
curse.
"The little man of the east, the Jap
anese, conquered us indeed and took
our money and ships. But the white
man who comes to us as friend and
asks us to set aside certain localities
for his residence is much more TO be
feared. than our so called enemies,
these men of the same race who have
reduced us by the bullets from their
mighty guns.
"For the Europeans bring us drink,

nails, idiots and victims of insanity.

THE PUGILlSTS. DIXON HAS
 RETURNED
The Former Champion Says the Fighting Game is Down and Out in England -Colord Boxers Meet.

After an absence of over three years George Dixon returned to America Sat urday last. The x-featherweight champion of the world-was passen- ger on the Campania. Congressman Tim Sullivan was on the same boat, although it is said the little pugilist was not member of the politicians party. Times have evidently changed with the one-time invincible boxer. His homecoming was far from being like the occasion of his arrival from abroad after he had won the bantam title of England from Nunc Wallace about fifteen years ago.
 That Dixon is as clever and clever as ever is evident, judging by his rec ord of fights abroad.
 Dixon has engaged in about sixty fights in England. or an average of twenty a year. Out of these sixty mills the ex-champion only lost one, and that was with Owen Moran, the Birmingham bantam, who was in America last season. The majority of Dixon's mills were draws. All the fights Dixon had in England only net ted him about S1.5OO. In his heyday Dixon got twice as much as this for a four round bout. and sometimes spent this sum in less than two weeks.
 ''The fighting game is down and out in England just now" said Dixon. "However, haven't any cause to con- plain. was treated right by every one 1 am glad to get back to Amer- ca again, although England is all right, too. Will I continue fighting? Well, there is nothing else for me to do, is tLere? I'm broke and must make my living at something"
 Dixon may not remain idle here. Ne gotiations are under way for six round match between Dixon and Tom my Murphy of Harlem at Philadelphia. Johnny Oliver. Murphy's manager. will have a talk with 0'Rourke about the mill some day tflis week and in all likelihood one will be arranged. It is understood that Lord Lonsdale paid Dixon's passage to America and be- friended him in many ways.
