TEMPORARY IN" CHARACTER, Japanese Government May Have Difficulty in Enforcing the Decree on Account of the War Spirit Among the 1 People Back of an Aggressive Army Flushed wi*h Success. Washington, March 30. —The news that an unconditional armistice had been declared by the emperor of Japop was confirmed at the Japanese legation, where it was stated that a cablegram to this effect had been received from the home government, the full text of which is as follows: On the opening of the negotiations, Chinese plenipotentiary proposed armistice, which Japan was willing to accept on certain conditions. While this negotiation was going on. the ontoward event happened on the person of the Chinese plenipotentiary. His majesty, the emperor, in view of this unhappy occurrence, commanded the Japanese plenipotentiaries to consent to temporary armistice without conditions. This was communicated to the Chinese plenipotentiary. Welcome News at Chinese Legation. Washington, March 30.—The declaration of an armistice was most welcome news to the Chinese legation, although it was accepted with the stolidity and passive dignity* which is characteristic of the race. Mr. Yang Yu had received no official communication from I China, nor tiffin the state department. Under these circumstances he asked to be excused from discussing the situation. The numerous ■ suite of the legation, comprising many secretaries, attaches and ’ translators, were evidently glad that the tedious and discouraging strug- ■ gle was at an end. . WILL TEST ITS POWER. Strong War Spirit. Among the People to Encourage the Army. Washington, March 39.—The power ; of the Japanese’government to execute ■ the armistice will now be put to a criti; cal test. The military power of Japan i in the judgment of inteliigeht observers has almost stripped the civil power during the war. This has caused serious concern, as it has been feared that the military element, backed by the war spirit among the people, would not submit to an armistice, even if the civil authorities ordered, one. To meet this:, emergency a.change of army coinman-’ ders was recently made. There had been three ilrmy corps operating in different campaigns, and each under a general of supreme authority over his particular campaign. About three weeks ago, in anticipation of the armistice. Prince Kimatsn was created comman-dor-in-ehief over all the armies. The purpose of this step was to concentrate authority in one man, in close touch with the imperial household, who could thus.-execute:an armistice by a simultaiifious cessation of hostilities by the three armies, i’tuo.w remains -to be seen ,I whether“Prince Komatsu, can exe- ’ cute, the important commission given to him. ’

• The splendid discipline shown by the army during the. war gives tissuranco that there will be immediate acquiencese bv the military. And, yet, Prince Komatsu has to contend against a war spirit, inflamed by many victories. It has been said that an armistice would be so unpopular among the people and soldiery that it would assure the political Retirement of Japan’s two chief statesmen—Oonnt Ito and Mr. Matsui—who have served as peace envoys. THE HAWAIIAN AFFAIK, i Minister Willi* Said to Bo Preparing to Take a Lenvo of Absence. Washington, March 30.—There are indications that Mr. Willis, our minister to Hawaii, is preparing to take a leave of absence from his post. One story is that he will go to J.tpan for a time and another is that he will return to the United States. The state department officials will not say anything about the matter, but content, themselves with pointing to the fact that the minister has now been at his post for more than a year and according to the usual practice: of the department is entitle 1 to a leave of absence if he desires it r.nd the conditions in the country to which he is accredited admit of his leaving. It would not bo surprising, therefore, if the minister were found to be a passenger on the United States Philadelphia when she returns to Mare Island, as she must do shortly to be cleaned and docked, if indeed he does not turn up before that time. During his absence, the United States legation at Honolulu will be left in charge of Mr. Ellis Mills, the secretary of legation, which will exactly correspond in official status with that of the Hawaiian legation at Washington. Thurston In Chicago. Chicago, March 30.—Minister Thurston, former minister of the Hawaiian islands at Washington, arrived in Chicago this afternoon from the east on his way to Honolulu. Mr. Thurston declined positively to make any statement whatever regarding the recent unpleasantness pi Washington. He left for San Francisco last night and will proceed directly to Honolulu. He has no idea, he said, who will be appointed his successor. TERRIFIC EXPLOSION. Boiler Give* Way, Killing One Man and Injuring Several Others.

Student* Dispense With Commencement Day Exercise*—Vnueccessary Expense. COLUMBtis, Ind., March 30.—The graduates petitioned the school board to dispense with the usual annual custom of holding special commencement oxercises. The petition was granted. As a reason for a departure from a time-hon-ored custom, the students averred that the benefits were insufficient. “With our class of 17 an approximate expense of S7OO would be incurred. This, at least, is unnecessary, and it is often made the subject of remark by people of sound common seuse. By some classes the commencement is made the opportunity of a contest of gorgeous apparel, which is both unnecessary and ridiculous, and we do,,not wish such an allegation cast upon our class.” Abandoned to Dio.

Their Thoughts AlVoiit Nattiift Seem to be Kat Iler Nt ranter. In carrying out, my inquiries into this region of childish ideas 1 lighted quite unexpectedly on the queer notion that toward the end of life there is a reverse process of shrinkage. Old people are supposed to become little again. The first Instance of this was supplied me by the Worcester collections Os Thoughts. A little girl of three once said to her mother, “When 1 am a big girl, and you are a little girl, I shall whip you just as you whlppt 1 me now.” At first one is almost disposed to think that this child must have heard of Mr. Anstey’s amusing story Vice Versa. Yet-this idea seems too improbable, and 1 have since found that'she is not by any means the only one who has entertained this idea. A little boy that I know, when- about three years ami a half obi, used often to say to his mother with perfect seriousness of manner, “When 1 am big then you will be little; th On I will tarry you about and dress you and put you to sleep." r . I happened to mention this fact at a meeting of mothers and teachers, when I received further evidence of this tendency of child-thought. One lady whom I know coffi&d recollect quite clearly that when a little girl she was 'Promised by her aunt some valuables I fancy—when she grew up and that she at once turned to her auflt and promised her that she would then give her In exchange ail her dolls, as by that time fihe (the aunt) would be a little girl. Another case narrate WSs thufof a tittle girl of three years and a half who, when her older brother and sister spoke to her about her getting big, rejoined, “What will you do when you are little?” A third case mentioned was that of a child asking about some old person of her acquaintance, “When will she begin to get small?” I have since obtained corroboratory instances from parents and teachers of Infants classes. —Prof. James Scully In the Popular Science Monthly. . . .. ’ J ' V. *4 -
