The largest crowd of the week assembled
nt the ColUetim last night to witness tbo
11 fth series nf struggles botwcon the interna

there wcro fully -1,000 enthusiastic people on

ready to shout their lungs out for their rep
resentative fuvorltes. Thu excitement Is on
the Increase , and some thrilling scones maybe
bo expected on the occasion of the culmina
tion of these terrlflo struggles of luusclo and
soionco.
In tbo opening bout last night , which begun -
gun nt exactly twenty-seven minutes to U.
the llnoly trained Bouomlnu team wi

huls from the land of Bohomla secured n fu

ndvantago until they had dragaed the fat :
line within a foot of the boundary lino. Tl
Aineiiuiins were desperate , nnd tuggea nn
fumed und struggled like men lighting fi
their lives , but they had motn fen worthy i
their most boasted prowess , nnd It was olnl
to bo seen that tbo cultured muscles of tl :
drilled and practiced Turners was certain t
triumph , nnd In exactly twelve mlnuli
Bohemia's Hag was being excitedly waveil lj
Captain Porclvul over the heads of his gn
Innt men , for the referee had announced tli
knoll to America's hopes.
It was n terrific struggle , though compirn
lively brief , nnd awakened a pitch nraon
the immense throng of people unparallelci
The Bohemians nro making n most splondi
showing , nn.l by their honest nnd unon.nlvc
cally square work on the rope have thoi
oughly won iho popular sympathy of th

At twcntv-two mtnutQ.i after 0 Iho bl

OMAHA , Dec. 18. To the Sporting Edltoi
ofTimBnE ! The international tus-of-wnr ,
now in progress at the Coliseum , has cor-
tnmly aroused n most extensive Interest In
athletic sports , ns Is atto.stod by the thou
sands who ( lock there every ov-jnlng tc
wilness iho test of stroncth botwcon thi
different opposing teams. This is as it should
be. ns Dhysloulturo is somethlne lone advo
cated by myself , and : i branch of healthful
science I have lent much ntlonlion lo. Now
my objuct in this oriof nrticlo I * to call ntlon-
lion to iho fact , as oxompllilcd at these Htrng-
gios , of tbo supramacyof cultured and drilled
athletes ever the raw material. Last night
the Bohemians , a team of thoroughly
eduu.itod turners , had but. little difll-
ctilty in defeating the Germans , a team
of enormous but unpractlccd men ,
weighing fully one-third moro thim iho
Bohemians. This coes 10 prove conclusively
lhat the muscular nnd athletic curriculum ,
as It is run in the turners' societies , devel
ops perfect men , irrespective of size , woieht
or years. This schooling makes them men
strong , supple , actlvo nnd capable to
moot nil the adversities of lifo with cour
age nnd success. The turner Bohemian
learn Is under the perfect control of
their able captain , Joseph Porclvnl.
They understand his every move ,
and work with n unison nnd harmony that
Is wonderful to bohold. The Gorman" team
nulled minus nil those ndvnutngos. I now
liopo lo see Iho German turners como for
ward nud organize out of ttioir membership
\ team lo compote with the winners of the
Coliseum tournament. The Germans bbvo
ilways possessed Iho proud distinction of
uelng the masters of the athletic-world here
In the Missouri valley , nnd I Imvo the faith
In them , under Rood leadership , to bollovo
tbnt they can continue to hold it.

TIIK l.Mil.t V VI..IIM.1.
TUB BBH Bintr.AU OFCI.VIMS , In dealing
vlth tbo claims nrlslng under thu Indian
loprodntlons not , has boon successful in pro-
ecilng a largo number of subscribers nnd
ithers from extortion and loss. From coin-
ilalnls that have comu to It , hotvovor , It ap-
icars thut many of the claimants do not un-
lui'Aland their position under thu not. At a
line when there appeared to bo little obanco
bat congress would take up thu claims or
nnlco any appropriation to pay .thorn , they
Ignod contracts n 1th the Washington agents ,
iromUlng from ono-quartor lo ono-lmlf the
.mount to the agent In case the money should
> o collected. In view of this extortion con-
tress inserted a provision In tbo net unnul-
ng all contracts and limiting the agent's
ouiinlssloii to 1& or-0 percent.
The claimants all probably understand that
ho agent's commission has been limited by
bo law , but many of them , according to their
iwn statements , do not understand that they
ire free to do as they please about employing
bo agent they had flnt chosen. They con-
Idor that they nro still bound 10 employ iho
gent with whom they signed the exorbitant
otitracis , whether they uro satislloil with
ilm or not.
It was tbo Intention of congress to protect
hum at all points and tboy were loft on the
passage of Iho act free to do ns they nloasod
and employ whom they plensod. Section n of
tha act stated : "That all sales , transfers or
nistgimonU of any such claims heretofore or
hereafter mode , except such as hnvo occurred
In tha duo ndmlnlstratlon of decedents' os
tales , nnd nil contracts heretofore made for
fees and allowances to claimants' attorneys
nro hereby declared void.
There could bo no mistake About the moan
ing of this. All claimants had to make now
contracts with ngcnU after thd p.tssiuro of
the act , nnd thov were nt liberty to omplov
Any ono they pleased. If they were plonsud
with the zeal nnd nets of their llrst n ont
thov might make their now contract , with
him. If they were dlssntlsod they might
chnoso any other agent that thov pleased ,
J'hoso who have not signed new contracts
since thu pnusugo of thu net nmv prolll by
Ibis to secure much hotter terms than they
could otherwise got from the ugonts. The
fact that Tun BKK BI-RKAU U doing tbo work
for the bare expense Involved has had n good
effort In moderating the charges of nil agents
to these who know how to protect them
selves. For those who distrust tholr ability
to cope with the claim ngonts on their own
ground Tun Itr.i : Bnuutr Is always open.
THI : i
The experience of TUB BISK Ci-.u :
BURRAU has brought out the fact that mm
of Its subscribers do not understand that tl
Indian depredations not passed by the la
congress annulled all previous conlrauts f
collecting claims under It. This Is n fn
that they should know for tholr own prole
lion. When tbo not was slgnod nil contrac
with agents were made void by Its term
The holders of claims were then free to mat
such bargains with tholr agents ns the
pleased , or could refuse to make any bargni
at nil.
The framers of the net found It neccssni
to take Ibis stop for iho protection of tli
claimants. At the time when there secmc
little chance thai such nn nut would I
passed hundreds of claimants had contrnctc
with agents to pay outrageous fees In caa
the money could bo collected. Ca es at
known In which iho claimants had eonlracto
lo giyo up lo iho ngonls ever ono-lmlf ih
amount collected. Cases in which or.c-lhlr
wns promised wcro not nt nil uncommon. T
allow these contracts to stand would nmli
the law not un net of Justice , but. un act c
extortion for the bonotlt of the claim atrcnb
The clause wns Inserted annulling nil th
contracls , good , bad nnd Indifferent , nn
limillug Iho percentage to DO charged b
ugonts to 15 per cent , with nn cxtrn 5 po
cent allowance for special cases. The clali
ugonls naturally objected to this , assortln
that It was beyond Iho powers of congros ;
but the best opinion of both houses was thn
contracts made to collect claims under n ln %
that did not exist could bo annulled in ths
manner.
On tbo-ltii of March , therefore , the claim
nnts who had slgnod contracts were as frei
from obligations to ngonls as those who ha
not. If they wcro satisfied with iheirageni :
nnd wished to sl n n now contract within tin
HE It of compensation llxod by the law , 1
wns t.'ioir right , but none of thorn won
under any legnl obligation to do so. Tin
moro unscrupulous of tbo ugonts natural
reprosonlcd to their clients that they wen
bound to renew Ihelr contracts , with inerolj
the substitution of tbo terms named by lav
for the outrageous commissions at llrst do
mnnded. Cases have boon brought to thi
attention of Till BKI : in which this
policy had been followed succesul ly ,
by unscrupulous agents. They had in n wo'n
bullied the claimants Into hlrfng them when
if the claimants had understood Hint thoj
were free of obllgalion , Ibey would him
ohosen other roprosentr.llves. As olbers arc
being worked upon In Hie same way , tha
lacts of Ibo case are set forlh for Iholr pro-
lection. If they art ) satisfied with the innn
Iboy llr.stchoso they nro right in ro-engniring
them. If tboy are not satilled. they nro free
lo engage an body Ihoy choose.
THE Bii : CIAI.MS BUREAU was established
solely for the protection of the public. It
was established on account of the complaints
of its subscribers who thought they wore
being unjustly treated , nnd thee , sllll more
numerous , who applied lo it to IIml a reliable
agent. It will collect the claims nt only suet ;
charges as will pay the expenses of tbo bu
reau. It Is expected that It will rarely hap
pen that the limit sot by the law will be
needed to pav the expense of collection.
Many of the claims can doubtless be collected
for 5 per cent of their face. The bureau is at
the service of the subscribers and public n
large. These who take advantage of Its offer
will save money by It. These who do not
place their claims in Its charge will save
monov , too , for it has put n cheek on the ra
pacity of the agents who would otherwise
feel free to take tbo last penny the law al
lows. It is the nrivllogo of n great news

Special to Tun IJr.K.J A blockade of the
coast of Morocco Is within the probal'llttlo.i
of the near future. Should that tall to
secure the ends aimed at , nu expedition to
thu Interior of Muloy Hassan's dominions
will fnllow.
Negotiations have boon begun with ono
or the other of those objects In vlow by
the powers which signed the anti-slavery
protocol of the HnmoU conference. AC-
cordlnir to the reports of the French and
Spanish inltiiaioriiUT.ineloM , Muloy Hasiun
has repudiated lib own Indnr.toment of the '
Drussels agroomunt by authorizing the snlo
of negroes In his umpire.
Moreover It has boon diicoverod that the
sultnn of Morocco has countenanced the
foundation of it .settlement at the Marnkotch ,
ono of the imperial residences , in which the
male and female slaves brought from thu
interior are compelled to marry In order tha
the children born of those unholy unions maybe
bo sold for the sultrtii's bonellt. In
fact , slaves are being bred In Morocco
In much the snmn fashion as horses. Europe
cannot tolerate so gross a violation of Its de
cision ? , and all the signatory powers seem
virtually In accord as to the necessity of nu
expedition.
Although the Sultan li fond of boastlutr
that Morocco is stronger than Europe , tia
knows well enough that barbarism must
always and-every where glvo place In the
lotnr run to civilization.
Should the contemplated expedition bo or
dered. Franco will take advai.tairo of the op
portunity of settling the Issues relating to
Toimt nnd Muley Hassan. At nrcsont the
sultan occupies the Tount territory Illegally.
It Is on the direct route'of the slave cara
