JAPAN EAGER TO FIGHT.

Would War with Husain if the Had Sufficient Cash, Russia and Japan have been on the verge of war several times within the lust five years, since Russia interfered in 1805 itpd prevented Japan IT mu enjoying the fruits of the victory over China, but they were never so near hostilities tis now, and iu tfre opinion of sveH-ht-formed diplomatists would be lighting Ibis summer if Japan could get the money to pay the powder bill. It so happens that the Mikado's cabinet and parliament are nt odds, particularly the house of lords, which refuses to vote the military supplies desired by Count lto, the prime minister, or authorize a loan, which is necessary to furnish the sinews of w ar. Great Britain is equally embarrassed mid cannot interfere iu .Manchuria because her fighting force is occupied in South Africa and her recent experience down ill that country has been so expensive that the taxpayers of England cannot stand any greater strftin. Arnold Foster, secretary of the admiralty, in explaining tile navy estimates in parliament the other day. showed that it cost 15 shillings per capita for every man, woman and child iu the united kingdom to maintain British supremacy upon the seas, without taking into consider a *,on the expenses of the army and oilier branches of the government. Tliff is equivalent to mi average tax of $5.73 ‘or the British navy alone, while the avel'ege in the United States for all branches of oar government, even with the $1,500,000,000 appropriations of the current year, is $0.59 a year, and before the Spanish war was only about $5. A Washington correspondent says there is no doubt that Great Britain, Germany and Japan have vigorously protested against the Manchurian treaty, both to the Chinese and the Russian governments, and have notified the Chinese envoys- at Pekin that if Russia is given Manchuria each of them will expect an equal slice of the empire. Japan is particularly determined in opposition to Russian aggression, and if matters go much further Count lto will cal.l for a dissolution of the present parliament and appeal to the people for the election of another in the hope of getting one that will be more willing to vote money for war purposes.

REJECTED BY BOTHA.

Peace Terms Offered Do Not Please Boer Leader. —.tnsepti t^franibcrlaih. the--British Colonial Secretary, informed the House of Commons Tuesday that Gen. Botha lias rejected the peace terms offered him. Gen. Botha, Mr. Chamberlain said, had conveyed the information in a letter to Gen. Kitchener, in which he announced that he was not disposed to recommend the terms of pence Gen. Kitchener was instructed to offer him, to the earnest consideration of his government. Gen. Botha added that his government and its chief officers entirely agreed with his view. The responsibility for the continuance of guerilla warfare to the bitter end consequently restswith Gen. Botha, mid those whom he was consulting. This yvas the impression which Mr. Chamberlain clearly conveyed. The ministerialists accepted Gen. Botha’s answer philosophically as a proof that the war must go on until the Boer leaders were captured, says a London correspondent, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer might as well pigeon-hole his more favorable budget and warn taxpayers to prepare for the worst, the sugar duty as well as the increased income tax. The pro-Boer Liberals, who are looking for strange revelations from Holland, are predicting that Gen. Botha will have a version of the negotiations quite different from the one authorized by the foreign office.

THE MAN OF THE HOUR

JUDGE WILLIAM TAFT.

Congress having given President McKinley full authority—military, civil and Judicial—in the Philippines, it is generally understood that his next move will be to appoint Judge William H. Taft, now president of the Philippine Commission, as governor to rule over the entire “Philippine archipelago in the name of the United States. Judge Taft's task will be a difficult one. He will have to see that the civil laws of the government agreed upon are enforced, and enforced in such a way that a free people will have no cause for complaint, llis accession to power will be an opportunity to prove whether a man educated for the law will make as good a governor under these circumstances ns one whose life has been spent among business pursuits. Judge Taft*will by no means be \oh to achieve his instructions by purely moral force. Gen. Chaffee is to succeed Gen. MacArthur in command of the military forces, and these will always be at the governor’s service to assist in the maintenance of law and order. It is not likely that there will be any material reduction iu the military forces iu the islands for nt least a year. Judge Taft is a son of Alonzo Taft, who was minister to Russia under President Grant, and for a time Attorney General. He was born in Cincinnati in 1857 and graduated from Yale. He has

A climax was reached at Anderson, S. C., in the stockade slavery sensation iu a report by the grand jury presented to Judge Benet. The jury reported having visited a number of farms, upon twenty of which the slavery system was found. Iu several cases negroes testified to having been whipped and imprisoned under contracts they had ignorantly signed. One farmer had Knight, a half-witted negro from Georgia, under circumstances that were virtually kidnaping, and others testified to imprisonment in stockades and shackles. On all but one of the farms the laborers were shackled. All others were guarded by men with rifles.

ILLINOIS’ PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

State Superintendent Bnyllas Giv • Some Interesting Facta. Alfred Bayliss, the Illinois State Superintendent of Public Instruction, has published a little pamphlet which gitca

some startling facts about the condition of the public school system .under- his direction, There are 1,588,000 persons of school hge in the State. Of this number 9G0,000 are enrolled in the public schools. The schools are divided into two

SUPT. BAYLISS.

classes, graded and ungraded. A graded school is one which has two or more teachers. An ungraded school has but one teacher. In Illinois 84 per cent of all the schools are ungraded. The average number of days per year which the pupils iu the graded schools attend is 143. In the ungraded schools the average number of days is only BQ. During 1900 the total cost of the public schools of the Stute was $18,200,000, of which amount $11,400,000 was paid to teachers. Forty-seven per cent of all the teachers in the State were employed in the ungraded schools, but they received, only 24 per cent of the money paid for teachers’ salaries. There are 2,000 public school premises in the State -which are absolutely treeless, 5,000 which are without libraries, 435 in which the total enrollment during the year was ten or fewer, and 78 in which it was less than six. In one case a teacher applied to the superintendent for advice as to how she should draw her salary, in view of the fact that she had been appointed to teach a school which was without a single pnpil of any kind. There are 321 high schools in Illinois. Ten counties have no high school. Less than 40,000 of the 900,000 enrolled were in the high schools in 1900.

POLYGAMY BILL KILLED.

Utah Senate on Reconsideration Support) Governor’s Veto. The Utah Senate, by a vote of 9 to 9, stood by Gov. Wells in his veto of the Evans polygamy bilk The original vote on the passage of nte measure was 11 to 7. When the questionable up again on the veto of the bill two Mormons who voted for the bill before stood by the Governor in his action and the sponsor for the bill himself. President Evans, was obliged to read the death warrant in the announcement of the vote. The action of Gov. Heber M. Wells of Utah iu vetoing the polygamy bill passed by tbe Legislature of that State seems cause, a Salt Lake dispatch says, for widespread gratification. It spares the country from a threatened disgrace and

In several places they were worked along with convicts hired by planters from the State and received the treatment given convicts. One negro swore he had been strapped to a tree and given 100 lashes for a slight infraction of the rules. The grand jury is composed almost exclusively of farmers. Judge Benet commended the jury and turned the evidence over to the prosecuting attorney. One result of the investigation is the practical abandonment of the stockade system. Another result is the demoralization of negro labor. Contracts being now declared void, farmers will be without help and are in a quandary as to how they will plant their cotton crop.

from the consideration of a' decidedly unsavory issue. The bill in question provides that no person may bring a charge of polygamy except the alleged plural wife of the accused or one of his blood relations. It was represented, (in behalf of the bill, that it would put a atop to malicious prosecutions growing out of political or sectarian controversies. As a matter of fact, the whole effect of the bill would be to give the polygamist exemption from the nation's laws and usages respecting marriage. So Jong as he kept on good terms with his wives and his relatives he would be free to practice polygamy without restraint. The enactment of such a law inevitably must have brought before the country sooner or later a most distasteful issue.

MUTINY IN A MINE.

Kansas Convicts Uoldinsr Guards as Hostages Are Awed. Three hundred convicts, maddened by longjiotirs of labor and hard prison fare, I mutinied in the mine nt the State penitentiary at Lansing, Kan. They seized their guards and for thirty-six hours held them as hostages 720 feet under ground. In the meantime they stalked m bands through the workings of the shaft, crying death to all officers of the law and threatening to blow up the mine. For thirty-six hours the desperate prisoners had absolute control of the mine. They refused to allow n guard to ascend in the cage, but every now and then sent aloft a Mote to the warden offering to negotiate. The warden rejected all offers, "IVe will kill the guards, blow up the mine and die ourselves,” came a message. Still the warden was defiant. Convicts and guards in their power were becoming more desperate with hunger. They had lived on the corn provided for the mules in the mine. Rumors were spread that the guards had been slain and these set all Lansing and Kansas as well wild with excitement. “Go down with a party and shoot them down,” urged the citizens. Warden Tomlinson said: "No; I'll starve them out. To descend the shaft would ntenn the murder of scores, for some are life-term men and desperate beyond comprehension.” As Tuesday night wore on the warden held a consultation with his officers, and it was decided to attempt a rescue of the guards and also to overawe the convicts and force their surrender. Selecting his men. the warden, with seven or eight guards, heavily armed, entered the hoist and were soon speeding downward. When near the bottom of the pit a heavy fusillade was opened, the shots being fired toward the top of the shaft. This took the convicts by surprise, and, thinking that the shots xvere intended for them, they hastily fled, leaving the guards, who were soon joined by their comrades, after which they were sent to the top. The armed guards then started after the convicts and soon had the ringleaders under arrest, when the others gave in and surrendered unconditionally. The work of taking them to the surface began, and before morning the convicts were again behind the liars of their cells.

CIVIL WAR IN RUSSIA.

Students Shot Down at Cathe Iral an 1 Anarchy la Threatened. Unless prompt measures are taken by the Russian authorities it is believed that a revolution, beginning in St. Petersburg, will spread like wildfire all over Russia. The seditious element, consisting of university students, socialist demogogues and the oppressed wage earners, is massing its forces against aristocracy and the Greek hierarchy and even threatens the life of the Czar. The plotters have already attempted the lives of two ministers. The worst of the riots that have lieen of daily occurrence during the past fortnight took place Tuesday on the occasion of a -solemn mass in the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan for the repose of the soul of M. Bogoliepoff, the minister of public instruction, who was shot and fatally wounded by Karpovich. The police fired their revolvers and it is said that five students were killed and eighty others either seriously or slightly injured. Wholesale arrests, including many women, followed the rioting. The attack by the police was extremely brutal. Women who made no demonstration were treated in the most cruel manner. Alarm pervades in high Russian circles. The police have notified house owners to have their dvorniks, or house police, report for duty and hold themselves in constant readiness. A remarkable feature of the demonstrations has been the prominent part taken by women of tbe higher classes of the university.

FACTS ABOUT THE CENSUS.

Porto Rico has 953,243 people. Guam lias a population of 8,5(11. The population of the 3 largest cities combined would exceed that of the State of Pennsylvania. Greater New York contains four-fifths as many people as composed the whole republic in 1800. In round numbers tbe population of the United States and its lately acquired territory is 85,000,000. No one Stute in the entire Union could furnish a population great enough to people the 5 largest cities. There are 18 States, all the territories (6) and the District of Columbia—2s in nil—which have a population of less than 1,000,000. During the last century a total of about 19,000,000 peoplcenme from foreign countries to make their homes in the United States. Lktle Rock had a population in 1850 of 2,107. It is now over 17 2-3 times as large, having 38,307 residents. It is the only city in Arkansas having a population of over 25,000. In 1790 Virginia was first among the States, and New York fifth. New York is now- first and Virginia, is seventh among (he original States and seventeenth among all the States and territories of the Union; It is n curious fact that, iu a Stute Unit now has 1,270.139 more inhabitants than in 1890, over a third of the counties should have shown a material decrease. Yet such is the case in New York State. Out of til counties 22 have shown decreases aggregating something over 30,000. The following named States nail territories do not contain any city with a population of 25,000 or morer' Arizona. Idaho, Indian Territory, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Vermont ami Wyoming. Il has been estimated by experts that the population of this country a century lienee will bo at least 300,000,000. One estimate puts the figure nt 441,000,200. The first estimate is that of Robert P, Porter, the director.of the census of 1890; the last Is that of the present census office.

ALARMING MORTALITY Noticeable Among the Weak and Ailing. Spring the Time Death Reaps Its Largest Harvest. There Is a Way of Eluding the Grim Destroyer. Every Spring It la noticeable how many people are tRkeD away that we have been accustomed to see In our daily life. Statistics show that at no other season or the year does so many deaths occur. Especially large is the mortality among weak and sickly people. The reason for this Is apparent. The body that Is weakened by age or disease has much to contend with durlug the Winter months. Insufficient exercise frequently has been taken. Too much‘starchy snd fatty foods have been eaten. The system has been allowed to become run down, and when Spring comes with its bright, sunshiny days, older people will begin to realize that their vitality has become very low. The tame thing la true of people who are naturally sickly •ad weak. This is the season of the year when even a strong person feels at his worst. That tired, restless feeling is experienced by too many. There need not be as many deaths this year as usually take place. A little care wall ward off many Spring funerals. If one Is weak or ailing they should take time by the forelockjnd take £>r. Greene's Nervura blood and nervY remedy. This great medicine has been In many cases, and will continue to be, the means by which the black angel of Death has been driven from tbe threshold. It dispels the grim destroyer In a s Sentiflc way, for it purifies the blood and gives strength and vitality to the nerves, it tones up aud restores to a healthy condition all of the great life-giving organs of the body. I)r. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy will enable those who take it to throw off little Ills that prove dangerous only when they attack a system already wasted and weakened. From many people, who have experienced benefit from this greatest of all llfe-length-eners, comes the following from the famous General Longstreet, of 1217 New Hampshire Ave., Washington, D. C. He says: “It gives me great pleasure to add my testimony with many others for Dr. Greene's Remedy, which I have used with highly beneficial results, and I am able to recommend its virtues from experience. 1 have used It for catarrh and have derived help." Mr. Wellington Hayes, Elizabethtown, N. Y., writes: “I feel It my duty to tell how much good Dr. Greene’s Nervura has done me. I was so run down that I could not sleep at night and everything worried me. 1 had no appetite and could not work, my head ached all the time and there was an all-gone feeling In my stomach, and I was always looking on the dark side of everything. I began to take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood aud nerve remedy and In lesa than three weeks 1 felt like a new man. I can now do as much work as Is expected of a man my age. I advise anyone who Is troubled to take Dr. Greene's Nervura. Do not go to a doctor, but get a bottle cf Dr. Greene's Nervura. It (s cheaper than a doctor's bill. The latter part of Mr. Hynes’ advice might be profitably disregarded, however. If you should feel you would like the advice of a physician. You can have such advice and have It free If you will write or call on the greatest known blood and nerve specialist. Dr. Greene. 35 W. 14th St.. New York City.
