DANISH BOAT

Stops Ship Trying to
Get Out of Harbor.

Rio Janeiro, Jan. 23.-The Danish
steamer Hamershus was fired on las;
night by the guns of the fort at Santa
Cruz and halted while trying to put
to sea secretly after receiving. accord
ing to a report, provisions and explo-
sives from German ships anchored In
the harbor. The Hamershus entered
the port last night and dropped an
chor close to the German ships. It
took ON board 4 large number Of
cases, and then attempted to leave the
harbor. ~.
The movements of the ship were
observed from the fort and it was
signalled to stop. The signals were
ignored until two cannon shots were
fired, when the Hamershus halted and
was boarded by the port police. The
police compelled the steamer anchor
in the neighborhood Of some Brazilian
warships where it is being kept under
surveillance pending an investigation.

will agree to. peace on the terms sug-
gested by the president they will not
need our assistance In enforcing it.
IF know the sentiment OF the
American people, il is inconceivable
that they should be willing to put, the
American army and navy at the COM
mand of an international council
which would necessarily be controlled
by European nations. and allow that
council to decide for us when we
would go to war.
such an agreement. in my judg-
ment, would impair our European
business instead of insure it, because
they would see in our limited re-
sources a means Of advancing their
own interest. with us bearing the bur-
den.

OF course the Big Five" realize
that to fix the limit of the state debt
at 100000 in the constitution would
at once block their entire program
unless they were able to get the school
lands fund into their possession for
that purpose. But to say to the peo-
pie of the state that the limit should
be raised to ten millions or nfteen
millions or twenty-five millions would
mean certain defeat, because they
could never hold the league in line on
such basis.
Divet Started Something.
Mr.. Divet started something earnest
when he offered the amendment to the
now notorious section 172. which en-
tirely removes th, debt limit of the
state, or any political subdivision.
Representative Tenneson of Cass
called attention to the wording Of Sec
ton 169, as amended. which places
the debt limit for deficits or failure In
revenue or in case OF emergency at
100000, Excessive Of what may be

Of adoption of this constitution" And
as the debt was s578,000 when the
port, last July. the total would be
more than one million dollars.

Representative Tenneson said he
the men who had drafted
this revision had their reasons for
raising the debt limit of the state and
acquainted with these reasons.
He. therefore. demanded such an
explanation. 1--WE are allowed to go
