Tho Asociated Press corre spondent writing November 17, sajs. No trouble is expected to result from tho affair of the steamer Sydney. The United States government is understood to re gard the action of Japan as justifi able on the grounds of self-defense, and Great Britain coincides, although some form of ex planation or apology may bo deemed desira ble Eranee has not taken a less easy -view of the situatian. but is not disposed to mnke se rious difficulties. Her opinion appears to be tbat the exigency was not sufficiently alarm ing to call for so grave a measure as the re- i moval of passengers from the French mail steams up. Later developments indicate that the self declared explosive experts were irre- I tIousibl6 speculators, If not imposto.s. Beports were received connecting Col. Fred Grant with the undertaking and his 1 name carried with it a weight which would , not have been accorded to unknown ud enturers. It is well known that Li Hung Chang holds the memory of Gen. Grant in reverence and he would presumably ' have been dispoed to place unusual re- 1 sources at the disposal of a part represent ing nis ton. The sums alleged to have been promised to Cb). Grant, and which have been actually advanced to his aRonts, correspond exactly with those set forth by the travellers on the Gaelic and faydnev. Taking these and other co-relative facts into oonhideration, the Japanese government believed Itself undor the necessity of guard ing against the threatened danger. The French diplomatic and consular offi cials were powerless to intervene even had they been mc ined to do so, and reiving upon tho authorized rulings of interna tional law. Japan availed herself of what she claims as a belligerent right. Tho American passengers wero released November 12, after taking oaths not to aid China in any mnnner, and expre-iuj la writing their gratitude for the leniencj of their treatment by the Japanese government.

Mr. Baker told him that the diagram of the'sleepera had not ot been given him, but he thought thero would be a berth as travel was not very heavy, Tho man boarded the train and ontered tho smoking room where he smoked Incessantly until long after Middlotown was passed It is customar for most persons on this train who have berths to retire soon after reaching Middletown, but this mnn sat up long afters the others hnd gone to bod. and that fact brouirht him more p irticularh to the attention of the conductor nnd tho porter. He was assigned to lower berth, No. 11. He left the train at Buffalo and v. eut from there to Maa'ara Tails, and no doubt over into Canada. When Mr. Baker ro urned to Jersey City Wednesday night ho was met at tho depot by aNewlork deteotivoand shown n photo graph nnd asked it ho ever saw the original. Mr. Baker thought a few minutes and said Yth, jes. that man was a passenger with meoumlast trip West." Thodetectivethen told him it was a photograph of Seelej.

Havemocr aud his people control the sugar trade of all the country east of the Missouri Biver, and the California refinery controls pretty much all we3t of tho river. I think Havemoer is right when bo says that closing his reflnorle3 will throw 50,000 people out of work. The reason the are to closo Is this "Thev cannot compete with foieign sugars. The administration has effectually shut out the sugar roflniug business in this countrj German granulated sugar is laid down at New lork at jS.SO tho hundred pounds, nnd raw or crudo sugar costs laid down there $3 50 tho hundred pounds. That loaves a margin of six one-hundredths of a cent a pound on which to pa rellnlng expenses and make profits. "The thing Is simply absurd. In tho East they pay relluery hands el.EO per day. In German tho wages nro but S1.13. Tho trado cannot stand the difference. Tho German sugar is beet sugar n lined abroad. This market Is now bringing a great deal of Chinese sugar that is retlned by two English ilrms in Hong Kong.

IS SUFFERING INTENSE FAIN Hii Spino Is Injured Physicians Cannot State the Exact Nature of His Trouble Stronjr Bentimont Acamst Football Play ing Local Enthusiasts Now Disgusted. George D. Bahen, tho popular little student of Georgetown College and right halfback of tho college football eleven, is in n precarious condition from tho effects of injuries received in theThnuksgiving Day football game be tween Georgetown and Columbia Athlotie Club. Drs. Kerr and Kleln3chmidt who are In at tendance on the caso, held a consultation yes terday, and stated his spine was injured, but could not determino tho exaot nature of tho trouble. Bahsn's stomach and the muscles in the region of the abdomen are paralyzed, and If he should recovor ho will be perma nently crippled. He was conscious last even ing and cheerful, although suffering intense pain. Bahen played right halfback on the George town team and distinguished himself by good pla . After making an end run for ten yards ho was pulled down on Columbia's forty ard line. Ho did not rise and it was soon found thnt ho was seriously hurt. His knee was twisted aud his neck and back strained. He was carried from the field. The serious naturo of Bahcn's injuries, to gether with tho fact that Harder, of tho Col urnblas, had his collar bono broken, and several other pla era badly hurt, has done a great deal towards creating strong senti ment against football as it is played by the college teams. A local football enthusiast, who witnessed Thursday's game, stated lust eveatng he was disgusted with the brutal exhibition and con sidered It time to call a halt on slugging and rough play. He called attention to the total number of pla ers injured in the Harvard "iale, Harvard-Pennsylvania, and Columbia Georgetown games being seventeen as a con vincing argument w by radical changes should be made in tho rulfs. At Georgetown College there is great in dignation among the students at the rough ness of play on tho part of the Columbia pla ers Little Bahen stated to some of his college mates he had been first struck by Leeto, the Columbia left end, and some one else jumped on his back.

FEELING AT TENNALLYT0WS Ordered Away to Build Up Another Parish.- His Present Charge Has Flourished and Prospered Tha Bequest for Betentloa. May Not Be Granted A "Warm Discussion. Father John Barry, who has for tho past six year3 ministered to the spiritual welfare of the congregation at St. Ann's Church in Tennallytown, will sever his connection with, that flourishing parish in two weeks, preach ing his last sermon Sunday morning, Decem ber 0. On the 16th of this month he wlJ assume pastoral charge of St. Francis Mis sion, Brunswick, Md., and St. Mary's Mission at Petersville, Md. His successor will be Father Mallon, of St. Andrew's, Baltimore. Father Barry was ordered away by tha cardinal, who thought he was tha best avail able man to build up the two Maryland mis sions, which have heretofore been conducted by brothers of the Jesuit College at Fred' erick. In addition to the church at Tennallytown, Father Barry had to preaoh at St. Gabriel' Mlssaion, near Great Falls. There are abont 500 communicants in both charges, and theso members will hold a meeting in the church to-morrow afternoon to adopt resolutions and a petition asking the cardinal to re tain Father Barry. It is doubtful, however, if their request will be heeded, as the car dinal thinks bis servieea are needed at-tho places to whiuh he has been assigned. The church at Petersville is aa exceedingly old structure, and the present worshipers are descendants ot families who many gen erations ago worshiped at St. Mary 3. But for some reason or ether the parish has never reaehed the dignity of a weU-arranged chureh. The town has inerreased in popula tion, but the mlioion has sot grown is. pr 0 portion, and it is to increase the membership and establish a flourishing pariah in tho ancient town that Father Barry has been as signs to pastoral duties at Petersville. The St. Fran.ia Misiioa at BrunswicJc is a much younger institution, and since its es tablishment several years ago has been under the care ot the Frederick College. Bruns wick is not so large and populous a town as Petersville. and although Father Barry will strengthen the mission there as much as pos sible, he will not be expected to orgaaoe a ehureh at that point in the near future. Father Barry was seea at his residence yes terday, and m'reply to a question eoaeernin the change said he greatly regretted leaving his present charge. "But the priests are obliged to obey tbe orders of the cardinal, ' he said, "and have to go wherever he thinks they are needed to build up the interests of the ehureh. "I returned last night from a visit to my field of labor. I found the ehureh betiding at Petersville te be in excellent conditio , not withstanding the fact that it is nearly a cen tury old. The town is m a noartehing vendi tion, and I hope to successfully continue the work set in motion by tbe brothers of tho Jeeuit College at Frederick. The mission at Brunswick 19 youag, ant the field ex ceedingly promising, and I think a fairly large-sized chureh may be established there. "While I am sorry to sever the ties it friendship already formed among the parteh oners of bt. Ann a, I am quite sure they wul find in my successor. Rev. Joseph Mallon, of St. Andrew's, Baltimore, an earnest and kind hearted pastor and a devoted friend of tne commos'peopie. ' Father Barry is an attractive speaker and exceedingly popular .with the people of Ten nallytown. biaoe he became pastor of Sr. Ann's, six years ago, there has teen a won derful improvement in chureh affairs. He has not enly greatly improved the ohurea building, but built a towa hall aad parochial school combined, and has secured funds suf ficient to ereet a beautiful granite paroehial residence.
