New York. Dec 10--Beiieving that before 1911 there will have heen con strueted in New York City. stadium rivaling the greatest structure of the kind in the world today. James p. Snl- livan. president of the Amateur Athletic Union, suggests that Inonster Ameri- can olymplad be held here in that year.
 Sullivan has had this in nltnd ever since his return from the Olympic gaines in London last summer, but now he has begun to urge the proposal. TO avoid any disputes with foreign visit ors as to the rules of the meet, Suilt. van says that ample preparation must be made. and he thinks 1911 is the ears Hest possible date for the carnival,
 The rules for the meeting must De submitted to the various foreign asso- ciations.' he said. we do mot want to hold foreigners down to the Ameri- can rules unless they so wish. We want everything arranged beforehand and nc one will be Justified in finding any fault If the rules are lived up to.

PRAISES MIR. HILL.

AliusiOn to American Ambassador h
 Reichstag.
 Berlin, Dec. 10.-Speaking today in the Reichstag. Herr Haussman, Radi- cal, made reference to the incidents that preceded the coming to Berlin of David Jayne Hill, the present Amer ican Ambassador.
 We rejoice that Mir. Fill has been appointed Ambassador by the United States and that he has remained" he said. We dare cherish the hope that the reception which he. as an eminent and intellectual personality, deserved and found in Berlin, will serve to prove. to him and the United States that thS incidents prior to his coming were based upon misunderstanding in which the German people did not share. but which caused the impression that only millionaires are acceptable at Berlin as representatives of a great State. This may be true of St. Petersburg, but in Berlin, as coun- terbalance to the materialistic concep- tion often connected with the dollar, we must insist that it is the intellectual pre-eminence of a foreign representa- tive which not only gives him right to such a position. but guarantees an interchange between the two powers much more useful than can be had by the spreading of the most lavish banQuets."

 Denver. Dec. 10.-Secretary E. W. Whitehead, of the State Bureau of child and animal protection, in an arti- ele printed in the monthly publication of the Colorado Humane Society, just from the press, entitled Protect the Deer" says:
 President Roosevelt as a sportsman { is furnishing to the American nation an example of ruthlessness and blood lust as far-reaching as it Is perni- cious.''
 Continuing. the article says:
 "No one more deeply and sincerely appreciates the merit and good quail ties of our President than we do, but these vacation trips of his are not worthy of a President or of a true American. Many of his truest admir- CTS regret his heralded hunting trip to Africa. It is not necessary; it cannot reflect credit upon him; he runs little risk; and if there is any. 1t Is a need less one in an unworthy cause. If re- ports are true he looks forward eager ly, exultantly. impatiently to the ex- curslon to the other side of the world whose prime object Is to slay. We re- sent the lust of blood. the thirst to slay.''

MARVELLOUS TRAIN WRECK
Cara Turned Over RunninE Very Fast
 and No One Killed.


 Bismarck, N. D., Dec. l0.--The wreck at Mckenzie. twenty miles east of here the luckiest in the annals Of railroad ing, according to railroad men.
 The fact that an almost entire train going at the rate of fifty miles an hour. containing more than 200 per sons could turn over and so down a ten-foot embankment without killing anybody is marvellous
 The train struck a. broken rail The engine got over safely but the tender went or the track followed by the baggage and mall cars. Then the coupling broke and the three day coaches, two sleepers and the observa- tion car went down an embankment into deep snow drift and turned over without breaking a coupling. The hard packed snow saved the train from destruction. Eight babies on the train were not even scratched.
 The most seriously injured are: H. c. Williams. Allegheny. Pa.; Engineer Aaron Remley. Colgate. N. D.; William Pazen, Oshkosh, Wis; c. D. Pease, Benton Harbor, Mich; Arthur Doyle. Charles Mills. both of New York; Mrs. Montgomery. Darlington, N. D.; Ben Schubert. Kankakee, Ill.,; Judge N. c. Young, Fargo. N. D.; Miss Metta Hill, Des Moines, Ia; Mrs. H. ".

NAVAL ARMAMENT RESTRICTIONS.
Germany Regards Such Restriction as
 Extremely Desirable.

F.srnauv Regards Such Restriction as
 Extremely Desirable.
 Berlin Dec. 10.--Referring to the suhtect of International restriction or naval armaments. Chancellor won Bue- low said in the Reichstag today tnat Germany always had regarded suen re- strictions as extremely desirable. put the government doubted the praeAca- ble feasibility of the idea and it did not believe the present was an opporlune time to carry on fruitless resolution of Germany's navy armaments. which were resigned merely to protect the coast of the Fatherland. but the trade of the country.
 Germany, in her ship building plans. would not exceed the requirements or her own protection, the Chancellor said and he expressed the opinion that from the very moment Germany decid- ed to reduce her military equipment below the level required by her posi- tion in Europe, the foreign relations of the empire would become grave and peace would be seriously threatened.
 Speaking of the same general sub feet Foreign Secretary won Schoen said that Germany had been making prep arationS to reduce her military quota lIn China but the change in the Chi nese government had made 1t inexpe- diant to carry out these proposals al once. because in the opinion of ex- perts, the withdrawal of German troops at this moment might occasion dlsdnietnde among the Chinese people and lead to disorders. The government intended ultimately. however. to either withdraw it's Chinese troops entirely, or make a big reduction In their num- bers.
