DEFENDED THE FLAG
Harold RieI of This City Has an
Exciting Time While Travel
ing With a Show.
ANARCHISTS FIGHT SHOWMEN
Four of the Number are Killed and
More Than 90 Wounded but the
American Flag is Saved
From Insult.

Letters received IN this city from
Harold E. Riel, Kenosha boy, who is
travelling with the Maccadon Shows,
an American amusement institution
now appearing in France, gives the
details of an exciting battle between
the Americans and French Anarch-
lists, which occurred at the city of
Mont Lucon on July 4th. The fight
started over an insult offered to the
American flag, and before it was fn-
ished four of the French had been
killed and twenty-four wounded.
The Maccadon shows had been
showing at Mont Lucou for two per-
formances, and during the afternoon
performance the hostile demonstra-
tons were such that twas not deemed
advisable to go on with the evening
performance, but the manager Sc
cured great American flag and raised
it over the tent and ordered the mem
bers of the company to go on with the
show. The anarchists, who are al
legged to be strong in this portion of
France, had a great hatred for the
Americans, and when the night per-
Torrance started more than 600 gath
cred about the tent and demanded
free admission, claiming that such
performances should be free. They
were refused admission and they at
once fired a fusilade of stones at the
tent, wrecking the canvas. AS the
big tent began to fall the crowd
rushed in and cut the canvas into
shreds and one of the men climbed to
the top of the flag post and cut down
the American flag. As it dropped the
performers, consisting of Americans,
Indians, Arabs and negroes to the
number of over 200 started as one man
for the gang. A pitched battle fol-
lowed. The show men armed them.
selves with clubs, knives, swords,
daggers and such other weapons as
we're carried for the performance.
The police of the little town were
called out, but they were inadequate
to the demand and the tight went on
until finally the 600 invaders were put
to flight. Four of the number were
left dead on the show ground and
twenty-four were wounded. Of the
Americans none was killed, but some
twenty were wounded. Riel was
slightly wounded by having a knife
stuck in his arm.
AT the end of the fight that Ameri-
can flag had been torn into shreds,
but the members of the troop showed
their defiance by patching it together
and raising it at it's old place above
the tent.
The police of the city, it is claimed,
sent letters Of congratulation to the
Americans for the work they had
done in cleaning out the gang Of an
archists and not single arrest was
made.
Rel was formerly drummer in the
orchestra at the Rhode opera house
here, and he will remain with the
company during its European tour.
He writes a very interesting letter,
telling of visits at the famous crypt
at Sedan, where the famous army of
Napoleon made it's last stand. More
than a thousand French and German
soldiers were buried in the crypt. He
also paid visit recently to the old
castles of Louis XIV and of Marie
Antoniette at Versailles.

Thsfts from Hotels.

A certain hotslkeeper in Washington says that the people have no idea of the small deprsdations that are committed by guests. most of who are people of money enough of their own to refrain. He declares that not long ago he bought 700 yards of toweling for his rooms, and before he had time to learn whether or not the rooms had been supplied, tho whole outfit was gone. says the Washing ton Post.

 Positions in the Philippines seem to go begging. Several months ago Col. Edwards. chief of the insular bureau, called upon the civil service commis- sion to certify candidates for 15e teachers positions paying from $2,000 to s900 per annum. There were few applicants, fewer took the examina- uon, and only AZ were found eligible for appointment Another examina- ton will, therefore, be held early in October. The insular bureau will not permit women to take the examina- uon for these positions, and the du- ties or pay Of pedasogus do not seem to appeal to the young msn of the country.

FEAR OF GERMAN INVASION
Het Warranted by Number of Kaissr's Subjects at Present Residing in
 South America.

German migration to South America, and especially to some of the southern states of Brazil, is periodically a cause of com ment and concern to some who think they see therein a sinister scheme of imperial conquest. For two or three strong reasons, says the New York Tribune, such fears seem to us to be not well founded. One such reason is that the number of Germans in Brazil Is not, after all, ominous. ly large. The total population of Brazil, according to the census of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later census returns are available, but careful estimates now place the total at more than 17,000,O00, of which number less than 3,0O0,O00 are Indians and negroes, leaving certainly more than 14.000,000 whites. Of these, in 1901, only 2,700,O00 were immigrants, and of the latter number only 300, 900 were Germans.
 The latest and highest esti. mate of the number of Germans in Brazil is only 45O,000, or a lit- tie over three per cent. of the whole. Really, we cannot regard that as a dangerous percentage. Nor does it represent the largest foreign element, by any means. Portuguese immigrants into Bra. gil are twice as numerous, and Italians three times as numer. ous, as the Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed in certain states as to form a ma. jority of their population, sa some have imagined. Germans are most numerous in Rio Grande do Sul, where there are 100000 of them, but the whole population of the state is 100000, so that the Germans are less than one-fourth. In Santa Catha. rina the Germans are 100000 in a total of 300,000, or one-third, the largest proportion in any state. In Parana they are 47,00O in 2s0,0OO, and in Sac Paulo 3O,. 900 in 1,43O,0OO.
 1t ;s pointed out as ominous that these Germans continue to use their own language, to pub fish newspapers in German and to demand the official use of that language in courts and schools. We'll, the same may be said ot Germans in New York, and in Milwaukee, and in many other parts of the United States.
 The conquest which Germany hopes for in Brazil is not polit. ical, but commercial. The profit she looks for in this migration of her subjects is to be found in in' creased commerce. In that Ger. many reckons shrewdly. Every shipload of Germans landed in Brazil creates a demand for many shiploads of German man. ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means a market for German trade, Upon this feature of the case too much stress cannot easily be laid.
