LASH MONROE DOCTRINE.
Talk by American Professor Anazes
Berlin.

Berlin.
The text of the speech delivered
Thursday by Prof Burgess, dean OF
Columbia university the first incum-
bent of the Theodore Roosevelt pro-
fessoThip of American history and
instruction at the University of BerliI,
has been printed by the University
press and widely distributed in ofticial
and scholastic circles There was
some curiosity to see precisely what
Prof. Burgess said regarding the
Monroe doctrine being out of date,
upon the obgoleteness of the high pro-
tective tariff and on the United States
being promoted by the extensive Ger
man emigration to South America.
The address was made in the pres
ence of the emperor, and frequent
references were made in it to Presi-
dent Roosevelt The impression APP
pears to have been made that the
president desired to send message to
Germany on those subjects. Some Of.
the papers double lead Prof. Burgess
remarks concerning the Monroe doc
trine, seemingly attributing signfi-
canoe to it. A translation of the pass
age in question follows:
I'm my first meeting with the pres
ident after my appointment to this
professorship it pleased him to adj
dress me as an ambassador of peace,
friendship and civilization. He gave
proof through this that he recognized
and appreciated the great idea which
his majesty, the highly gifted and
magnanimous German emperor, gave
to the world Jan. !, 1905. 1t is the
| opinion of the president, it is the Opin-
! ion Of my countrymen in general, that
! this idea is the most pregnant that has
| come forth in our time and that it
gives evidence of the great sense OF
| culture and extraordinary political
wisdom of its mighty author.
The execution Of this idea makes
| it possible to subject questions of the
| highest importance, which can scarce
| ly be touched upon in a diplomatic
| way, to the most fundamental exam
| ination and the most friendly consid-
| Grafton. There are, for example, two
| doctrines in the policy of the United
States which are regarded as almost
| sacred, the discussion of which may
not even be proposed by foreign
power without risk Of awakening hos
| tility in the United States. There are
| the high protective tariff theory and
the Monroe doctrine. Our politicians
| do not appear to have the least notion
that both of these doctrines are almost
| Obsolete and that the reconstruction OF
| European states and their constitu-
tions and the acceptance by the United
States itself of it's position as a world
power have made them appear nearly
| senseless."

IMPORTANT LAND RULING.
Celebrated Case Decided in Favor OF
Government.


Ate four years of legal strife the
United States government has won the
celebrated land case known as the
Dead placers. Severa! years ago a.
company endeavored to acquire ute
to this land, which is located near
Custer, as placer land, but the appl-
cation for a patent was suspended on
request Of P. r. Wadsworth, speciai
agent of the government land ofiice'
who claimed that the land was more
valuable for timber than for any other
purpose. The land office upheld Mr..
Wadsworth and this decision was sus-
tanned by the commissioner of the gem
eral land office. The case was then
appealed to the secretary OF the lnte-
rior, who affirmed the previous decl-
sions. The final decision has just oeen
handed down, the entry and appnca-
lions of claimants Cancelled and the
land is now government land and un-
der the supervision of the forestry pu-
reau. This tract of land is situated
southwest of Custer, comprises nearly
1000 acres of land and has a growth
of timber valued at approximately
$4,000. The precedent which this
decision establishes is a most impor-
tant one.

BIG Cities.


There are 10000 young women in
Chicago who are obliged to work at
IS a week, and Their are 5000 saloons
there. too" said Mrs Lurind2 b.
Srnith, of Kansas, at the Tuesday af-
ternoon session OF the national con-
vention Of the Women's Christian
Temperance union at Hartford, Conn,
In presenting to the convention the
difficulties with which the refuge
work of the association has to con-
tend
Mrs. Smith made a spirited appeal
for the efforts OF all the delegates
from all parts Of the country to put
a stop TO the white slave trade. The
speaker cited instances of young wom-
en- held in captivity and sold at auc-
ton in New York, and asked why it
was, forty years after the civil war
had been fought for the liberation Of
the black slaves, that slavery of young
women should be tolerated in this
country? She said that one Of the
most favorable signs was that seven
nations recently banded together for
the suppression of this awful vice.
At the morning session the principal
business was the election Of officers
and the presentation of the final re-
port of the executive committee.
The final report of the committee on
credentials showed total of SAP dele
gates, which the president said was
the largest number ever present. The
national nilsson department has dis
tributed more than 971,9 21 bouquets,
4T072 growing plants, 464,7S4 text
cards, and 2,t77O82 pages of mission

A VERMONT SCANDAL
SENSATIONAL CHARGES by Weir.
MONT GRAND JURY.
Members OF Stock Commission said To
Have Sod Dressed Beef for Market
demncd It-Company is Fined.

Sensational charges were made
Wednesday in ten indictments which
were returned by the Chittenden coun-
ty, Vermont, grand jury in connection
with the sale OF diseased cattle in
the state and in the sale of which, ac-
cording TO the indictments, two for
mer members OF the state cattle COM
mission participated with a full
knowledge that such cattle would be
used for food purposes. Four of the
indictments are against the Consol-
idated Rendering company, and they
contain four hundred counts. -Four
additional indictments are against l..
E. Brigham. manager of the Burling-
ton Rendering company. This com
pany is controlled by The Consolidated
company, and the indictments against
Brigham, which also contain 400
counts, are Identical with those re-
turned against tie Consolidated COM
pany
The most sensational disclosures
We're made i'm the indictments which
were returned against DIR. T.. y. Rich,
a veterinary surgeon of Burlington.
and Victor l.. Spear, of Randolph,
both both of whom were members of
the state cattle commission. Spears
term expired about ore year ago and
he was not reappointed, Rich was
removed from the commission by Coy.
BELL just before the latter retired from
Office
The indictments against the Consol-
idated company and Brigham charge
the sale of diseased meat in the state
and also the shipment OF such dis
eased met out of the state for the pur-
pose of putting it on sale.
Rich and Spear are charged with
selling diseased beef which they had
previously condemned to the render
ing companies.
All of the defendants furnished
bonds for their appearance at the
March term OF the Chittenden county
court.
Before the grand jury reported at
the morning session Of the court Judge
Rowell imposed fine Of $4,000 on
the Consolidated Rendering company
for it's failure to produce before the
grand jury certain papers and mem
oranda which had been demanded
The defendant in contesting tho
charge of contempt of court proceed
ings maintained that the papers had
been destroyed prior to the investiga-
ton. Judge Rowell overruled the mo-
ton to dismiss and then imposed the
fine.
In explanation of his failure to
make the fire the maximum allowable
under the statutes, the judge stated
that in fixing the penalty he had in
mind the fact that there are further
means Of furnishing the company. IL
was learned later that the Vermont
law provides that company found
guilty of the charges which are pend
ing against the Consolidated COM
pany may be permanently prohibited
from doing business In the state.
