Mounted Officers Brewton and Har rington had quite an experience eaviy yesterday morning when they started in to . effect the arrest of Matthew Britt, a darkey, who did not appreciate the idea of going to the city lockup. The negro was taken in charge, how ever, only after he had shot several times presumably at the policemen, who in turn began a fusilade with their own pistols, causing the negro to drop his gun and seek safety in flight. He was captured after a chase and at the police station charges are docketed against him for carrying concealed weapons and discharging a pistol m the city limits. The negro's pistol was found where he had thrown it as he tried to make his escape, and will be held for strengthening he damag ing testimony which the two officers are to give In the recorder's court against the darkey this morning. The lively scrimmage occurred near the corner of Gonzalez and Hayne streets, and scores of persons were awakened by the shots. "AFTER THE BALL" ISIS THEATRE TODAY. Great Bill at The . Isis.

The raising of $1, 050,000,000 'by the German Government in a single operation is commented upon'M.y the German pres s and by the press of a number of neutral countries as remarkable evidence of Germany's Jinanciral power. Dr. Kan llelfferich, one of the directors of the -Deutsche Bank, who discusses the loan in a .bankers publication, points out that this is the largest financial tran saction that the world has ever seen. The nearest approach to it was the indemnity of $1,000,000,000 paid by France 'to Sennany after the Franco Prussian war; but that sum was raised in two separate loans, and the payments on them extended to two and a haif years. France had the help of foreign Countries in raising th war indemnity while Germany d'd not ask for arty foieisrn sub scriptions and is raising the huge sum already mentioned wholly but of itF own resources Furthermore, Helf ferich shows that the subscriptions to the German loan all represent bona fide transactions, for the full amount of each tender is to be paid in before the end of the year. After the loan shall have been fully paid in, says Helfferich, Germany will "nave money enough in hand to pay :ts war expens es into next spring. Helfferich finds that ir.e marked success of the German lo.m had three causes. Fiist, Gerranrv has far out stripped England and France in the creation of wealth during the past few decades; secondly,-Germany is Incom parably better organiser, financially and in a general business way , than its enemies, and thirdly, the Germar people are showirg a more self-sacrificing spirit in this, war than the oth er countries. As illustrative of the last point, he says that three-fourths of the persons subscribing for the loan were able to take only amounts of $500 and less. This means that there were some 800,000 of these small sub scribers. This army of petty capital ists strikes Helfferich as being fully as impressive as the success of the loan itself. - PROiHTiU DIES SUDDENLY E. D.
