 DOWN DEMANDS

Cleveland, O., March S1.-Following the example of the Lake Shore railroad the Lake Erie and Western railroad to- day refused definitely the demands of their trainmen and conductors for an in- crease in salary. The committee repre- senting the men will meet here tomorrow to consider the advisability of following the action of the Lake Shore rgen and or der a strike vote taken.
 A committee representing similar em- ployes on the Nickle Plate system pre- scented their demands to General Manager A. w. Johnston here today and will re- ceive his answer tomorrow. In the mean time the president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen asserts no agreement will be made by the men on any of the roads except perhaps that on the Balti- more and Ohio railroad, looking to a scale.

VERY PUNK FIGHT BUT
 GOOD CHURCH RALLY

- Atlanta, March 31.-(Special. )-Adver- tisements, scattered over the city, invit- ing members Of the Western Heights Baptist church to a prize-fight, there to- night, drew a goodly crowd of those brethren who ordinarily are conspicuous by their absence. Two deacons of the church, R. E.. Finch and J. r. Glore, both looking fit and in the best of shape, stepped before the crowd and gave a few minutes of scientific passing of blows, each blow being stopped just before reaching it's destination.
 The disappointed sports were then treat ed to little sermon by one of the fight ers, Mir. Glore. who told them the gloves were symbolical of the fight they must wage against the devil. The pastor and others then spoke. It was punk fight. but good church rally.

ACTION AGAINST
 STEAMBOAT POOL

Washington, March 31.-Civil action against the agents in this country of the European steamship pool will be the ini- tial step taken by the department of justice in the effort to break up the practices which operate as a discrimina- ton against American shippers and ship ping interests. An export commission by which the shipper obtains a rebate is said to be one of the forms of discrimination of which complaint has been made.
 It is said neither the English nor the French lines of steamships are involved in the contemplated proceedings, but that most of the other transatlantic con- panies are.

 Without the intervention in Europe of the navies of the triple alliance in way to help the American fleet at the moment 1t was simultaneously engaged in the Atlantic and Pacific, the decisive supe- riority in that struggle" declared the ad- miral would rest with the forces of Japan and England.

EUROPE IS THREATENED
ant Is Thrown Out That Japan and the United States May Clash If the Two Nations Disagree
 on Policy

Paris, March 31.-The memoirs of Vice
 dimiral Fournier, commander of the
 Tediterranean squadron of the French
 lvy, In which he discussed particularly le possibility of a war between the
 nited States and Japan, and the result
 nt danger of dragging all European na-
 ons into a terrific conflict, were issued
 book form tonight. The momoirs have
 used something of a sensation in polit-
 al and diplomatic circles.
 Admiral Fournier accords the star role
 ! the stage of international politics to
 ie German empire. not only in Europe, lys the writer, where the Emperor is wing desperately to break the league of Dwers against him, but also indirectly stween the United States and Japan. Continuing, Admiral Fournier says it is
 Beless to deny that there is a possi- hity of war between the United States Id Japan as result of popular irrita- on in America, should Japan's demands 4 | Japan's policies of absorption prove tolerant to American excessive inter- < ts.
 The admiral declares that Japan's great i nr is that the friendly relations between { ,e United States and China will culmi-
 lte in an out and out alliance, and I ius in event of war the United States ould have a base of operations and gen.
 al resources vastly superior to the Phil
 pines. Japan's increased armaments, Ierefore, are explained not as a men
 ,e to Russia, but in preparation to com N 1t, before it is too late, the peril con- { aned in Americas policies.
 f Admiral Foirnier thinks the naval
 reneth of the United States will one " not only exceed that of Japan, but
 sobably will equal that of Great Britain, [ spite of the effort of England to pre-
 rye her superiority and Japan's in
 riority would obligate her ally, England,
 como to her aid in the event of con
 It with the United States.
 lin case of a hostile coalition of the l nitsd States with the triple alliance, e admiral believes France would be reed to supplement the forces of Eng |t nd, Japan and Russia.

santo Domingo Pays Debt

Washington, March 3i.-Today the agents of the insular bureau completed five years of their stewardship of the finances of Santo Domingo. In that time nearly $7,00o,C00 was segregated from the customs receipts of the republic in set- clement of its debt, yet this was less than half of the total customs collections.

A new GUS. toms tariff just gone into effect is ex. pected to still further swell the receipts.
