AN UNEXPECTED BLOW.
BaVarian War Ministry Attacks Total
 Abstinence Advocates.

AuNOCdNCSs
 Munich. Dec .15-A rather severe. be- cause unexpected blow at the advo- cates of total abstinence from alcoholic beverages has been struck by the Ba- varian War Ministry which has issued report showing that in independent rifle shooting soldiers become better marksmen after imbbing small quantity of alcohol than before.
 Experiments involving the discharge of 10000 shots have been carried out at the ranges of the Augsberg School of musketry Throughout the experiments men who had been served with a dradght of spirituous liquor displayed more steadiness and accuracy of aim while firing singly than did those be- longing to the squad which had been kept abstinent. In field and volley fir ing bv companies. however. the sec tions that had been abstenious atain- ed slightly better results than their stimulated comrades as the men arc placed for one week in the teetotal and the next week in the abstinent squad. the final results are expected to be in teresting from the scientific as well a from the military standpoint.

NEW YORK EXPERIENCES
 ANOTHER BLUE SUNDAY

New York. Dec. 15.-An enforcement of the Sunday closing law and the ele- ments combined today to provide d Sunday as Blue as the strictest Sab batarian might wish.
 The amusement promoters generally kept their places closed, while an over cast sky a damp chill in the air and bad walking shut in thousands who, in lieu of other entertainment, gladly would have found recreation in the parks. The restaurants were. as be- fore, benefited by the changed condi- tions.
 The theatrical men made no attempt to test the law and will await relief in the form of more liberal Sunday ordinance which they expect the Board of Aldermen to pass next Tuesday:
 A few places of exhibition. dancing academies and roller skating rinks. which had been fortified by injunctions which forbade police interference. did business as usual. and an occa sional arrest for Sunday dissertation was made. but these cases were exceptions. Many excise arrests were made in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

PECULIAR SITUATION
UNION LABORERs LIVED IN FEAR
 OF EACH OTHER.
General Funston States That the Troops Will Remain at GoIdfield for At Least Ten Days
 Longer.

Goldheld, Nev. Dec. 15-Today dele gation from the American Federation of Labor called on General Funston, who is continuing his investigation of conditions here with the view of de- termining the necessity for the pres ence of Federal troops in Goldfeld.
 These gentlemen made the most remarkable statement have yet heard" said General Funston in an in terview with the representative of the Associated Press tonight. Their statement is that for months they have lived in constant fear. They have con- sidered it necessary for their self-pro- lection to go armed at all times and have been compelled to avoid personal contact with members of the Western Federation of Miners in order to pro- vent serious trouble. This condition Of affairs, they have told me, obtained un- til the arrival of the United States troops since when the conditions have been greatly changed
 General Funston said that this con dition of things came from mon who had been in a position to know the real situation. General Funston said there is little possibility of the troops leay- ing here within ten days and upon his recommendation. half of the number now here will be retained by the Wash ineton authorities
 General funston VIII not leaNe Golu- field until Tuesday and may stay long CT. Governor Sparks today sent long communication to Washington, stating in detail his position In relation to the troops and making correction of some omissions in the original call for troops.
 Members of the Commission sent by President Roosevelt arrived in Gold field tonight.
 Mir Neill said tonight that the merits of the controversy between, ,<the mine operators and mine workers will be exhaustively investigated and the whole matter will be embodied in re- ports to be made to the War Depart ment and to President Roosevelt.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York. Dec. 14.-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of one to four points which was not considered as good due on the cables. At first there was some hesitation. owing to the indisposition to enter into fresh commitments at the week end and desire of local professionals to get clue to the immediate attitude of the leading interests but as there was no sign of important bull support, offerings increased and during the middle of the morning prices were about scr points net lower.
 There was some selling by wire and com mission houses accompanied by rumors of easier Southern spot markets. The mar ket closed steady with prices net nine points lower to one point higher.
 Receipts at the ports today 57,272 bales, against 59.959 last week and 4.234 last year For the week (estimated) ESQ., 900 bales, against 369,093 last week and 353,701 last year. ,

HOW GERMAN ADMIRALTY
 VIEWS AMERICAN

Berlin. Dec. 15.-The German admi- ralty has been observing for some time with the greatest interest, the prepar- ations for the departure of the Amer ican fleet, which is regarded here as the most formidable fleet of modern times.
 The only event which is considered comparable to this cruise of the Amer ican battleships is the passage of the Russian fleet from the Baltic around to the Sea of Japan. Expert opinion among naval men is that 1t will be splendid practice for the fleet.

BULGARIA. MAKES DENIAL.
Says Bands in Macedonia are Cretans,
 Who are Outlaws.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 15.-The Bulga- rian Government has sent a note to Russia in answer to the recent repre- sentations made by the Russian Min ister at Sofia, as to the activity of Bulgarian bands in Macedonia. The note denies that the residents of the principaIity are participating in these activities and states that Bulgaria re- poses entire trust in the powers to in- mia.
 Bulgaria launches a counter com plaint against the Greek bands com posed of Cretans, which, it declares. is carrying on a propaganda of fire and sword. The statistics for the month of October show that 2SS persons were murdered.

 Pacific waters. The Novoe vreyma does homage to what it terms bold Rooseveltian stroke" to restore the balance of power in the Pacific, which has been disturbed by the recent war.
 The squadron" says The Novoe vremya, "will actually serve as the best guarantee of peace by checking the elation of oriental nations"
 The Novoe Vremya points out that the cruise cannot fail to profoundly impress the Latin Americans, thereby lending additional weight to the Mon- roe doctrine.
 The Recht fears that the centraliza- tfon of such immense power, on the California shores will vastly increase the responsibility of the Federal gov ernment as 1t is inevitable that it will produce an outburst of warlike senti- ment and will feed the flame of race feeling in the Pacific coast States.

ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS SEE
 WAn CU,OVT}bS HANGING |,

London, Dec. 15.-The daily newSpa- pers are publishing long accounts from their New York correspondents on the cruise of Rear Admiral Evans's fleet. Naval officials agree that the cruise of the American battleships will afford good training for the oficers and men.
 The Outlook, a weekly publication, on the other hand. refers to the polit- ical signifcancel of the cruise. In a long article. 1t says:
 "The building up of the States of the Pacific slope, the annexation of Hawaii. the growth oi American com merce in the Far East by the purchase of the Philippines and the rise of Japan. have reacted upon the destinieS of America, with ever increasing intens- ity. As a possible battle ground in the future. it is no longer the Atlantic that claims the Americans"
 On these grounds and the fact that it would demonstrate the strategic ne- cessity of the Panama Canal and that 1t would serve as a warning to Con- gross that the present forces are not sufficient to the two coast lines. the cruise Is held to be defensible, but still. 'it is impossible to separate 1t from the tension that exists between the United Staes and Japan.
 The Sunday Observer says that it is difficult Ito believe that the Pacific cruise is dictated by professional req sons.
 'The plain fact is." says The observ- CT. that the cruise is a political recon noissance In full view of the Japanese The fleet bears the American flag to the Pacific as a symbol of power and an expression of the national will that 1t will defend and develop there. Its despatch looks singularly like a bluff. and an indiscretionl We fear that the Americans have made profound mis- take if they presume too much on Jap- anese patience. It is undeniable that there is an element of potential peril in the voyage"
 The Sunday Times dwells upon the personality of Count Hayashi, the Jap anese Foreign Minister, to whom the full recognition of Japanese immigrants Is a matter of life or death. He Is not the man to be frightened by the des- patch of the present fleet. says The Times. It adds:
 If he ignores the movement for the time being. he will plod on until he suc- ceeds with peaceful remonstrances or can see no issue but to fight"

RESULT OF FLOODS
eighteen PEOPLE ARE DEAD
In WEST VIRGINIA,
DweIlers Near Pottery Plant in Wheel
ing Lose Presence of Mind in Fright
over ExpIosion-Buildings Occu-
pied by the Flood Victims Were Not
Touched by the Flames.

Wheeling, w. Va, March 1S.-Eight-
teen persons are known to have lost
their lives because of an early morn
ing fire at the Warwick Pottery COM
pany's plant.
Because of water surrounding the
burned district it was impossible
the fire apparatus to reach the scene.
The fremen pressed into service all
the boats that could be secured and
carried lines of hose to the burning
buildings. By this means they fought
the fire and assisted in rescuing many
persons. The crew of a boat moored
across the river manned a yawl and
rescued about 100 persons.
The men were offered all kinds OF
rewards and big sums of money for
the work they had done, but they re
fused to accept cent. Most of the
imperiled persons were Syrians, and
at times when the big yawl was filled
to overlooking it was with difficulty
that the rivermen prevented the fran
tic foreigners from upsetting thu
craft. Had the drowned persons re
manned in their houses none Of then
would have met death. The buildings
occupied by the victims were no
touched by the flames, but the explo
sion that started the fire terrorize<
the people.
The majority of the persons livini
in the district are Syrians, and afte
the fire they refused to return to thei
homes. They are being taken care o
in the city hall and county building.
