Their Progress.

I'm Order to Show That They Are Crate
full They Have Appropriated 6sO,Ooo
Yen NEARLY 1000, ,ooo) for an Exhibit
at the Worlds Fair--An Imperial Com
missioner Now Visiting Us.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-S. Tegima,
director of the Toxic chronological
school, and imperial Japanese commits
sioner, and Y. Yambe, secretary to the
Japanese commissioner, were in Wash
ington Friday.
"We are in the United States" said
Tegima, ''on business connected with
the worlds fair. Our government ap-
propriated $50, 900 yen, or about 81, ,009,-
600 in American money, toward the ex-
hibition of arts and industrial exhibits.
Besides these the Japanese government
intends to build historic building, in
which three rooms will be set apart for
Japanese art and decoration according
to the three periods, the oldest being
300 years of ago; the next 500 years ago,
and the last will be of fifty years ago.
After the close of the exhibition it is
the intention of the Japanese govern
ment to make present to the city of
Chicago, together with landscape
garden, which will be laid out around,
the building"
Referring to Japan, MIR. Tegima con-
tinued THE last parliament was the
second in the history of Japan, and both
the houses passed the appropriation for
the worlds fair, thus showing that the
people of Japan realize that they are
quite indebted to the United States for
the progress they have made in Japan
in science, education in word in every
thing. We feel very friendly with the
people of the United States, and as we
know them better our liking increases"
The gentleman went to New York
Friday night.

NO FAVORITES.
Senator Sherman Talks Con-
corning His Resolution
Relative to Foreign Residents
of the United States.

Although Brought out by the New Or
leans Affair 1t Has No Especial Signif-
canoe in Connection with Rumored
Prospects of a Renewal of Diplomatic
Relations with Italy.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Sher-
man was asked whether the resolution
introduced by him in the senate in re-
gard to offenses against foreign resi-
dents of the United States had any es-
pecial significance in connection with
the rumored prospect of renewed diplo-
matte relations with Italy. He replied
that the resolution, though called out by
that portion of the presidents message
which referred to the "deplorable and
discreditable incident of the lynching at
New Orleans of eleven men of italian
nativity" was not intended to apply es-
pecially to tnat occurrence. In fact it
could, as no law now passed by con-
gress would be retroactive so as TO reach
those concerned in the New Orleans
affair.
The object of the resolution, he said,
was simply to cover the cases of any
subject of foreign power with whose
government the United States had re-
ciprocity treaty relations, who, while a
denizen of the United States might be
subjected to outrage, violence or mur-
der. 1t was designed to give to such
foreign denizens the same protection
afforded to our own citizens, and for
this purpose it was proposed to give the
courts of the United States jurisdiction
in such cases instead Of leaving the mat
ter to the courts of respectives states.
The proposed law he said, would apply
equally to Chinese, Italians, French
men, Germans or denizens of any ma
tionality with whose government the
United States had treaty stipulations.

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK
A HUMAN SKIN TANNED.
Exhibited by Stranger to Startled Pa
irons of Louisville Drug Store.


LOUISVILLE, Feb. 20.-A human hide
created CONSERVATION at Sixth and
Chestnut streets Wednesday evening.
About o'clock gentleman entered a
drug store in the central portion of the
city, with neatly tied bundle under his
arm. There were a number of persons
in the store. The stranger unrolled the
bundle with the remark that he would
show them something unique and per-
baps startling. He spoke the truth.
The thing that first appeared was the
exact shape of human head, that
looked as if it had been made wafer of
in hydraulic press of great power.
The imprint of the nose was there, as
were the apertures made for the eyes.
Then came the mouth, then the neck
and the beginning of pair of shoulders.
This was too much for the crowd, and
they sank back aghast. Then the gen.
tlemen calmly unrolled the entire skin
of human being and proceeded to
illustrate the fine points in tanning such
a skin, He said that it was the skin Of
a negro who had died in this city.
The stranger said nothing more about
the skin or himself, but in few min
utes left the store.

iron mines at Cranberry, N. c.. neal
this place, brought horrible death tc
Andy Burgess, one of the miners, and

The bar was sent back with terrific
force and went through his body like an
arrow, striking the opposite wall of the
tunnel with such momentum as to be
bent nearly double.
Burgess right arm was torn off at the
shoulder, his head shattered and hi
face disfgured, He is dying, and his
agony beggars description. The other
men will recover.

An Alliance "Discrepancy."

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-The Inter-O Ocean
prints a st,.tement said to have been
made by the National Union companys
secretary treasurer, R. G. Spencer, to
Dun's agency declaring that $965,000 of
the company's stock had been paid in
cash and that $546, 200 of the amount
had been invested in forty stores in
various localities, chiefly south and
west. The average price paid for the
stores is said to be $3000 total of
$120,000. This would leave an apparent
discrepancy of $627 900 unaccounted for.
The National Union is the organization
which it was reported proposed to buy
up or establish 1000 Farmers Alliance
stores throughout the country, and
which was alleged to be an offshoot of
the National cordage trust.

Two Avengers of a Sisters Honor Kid
nan the Seduccr,

DAWSON. Ga, Feb. 20-Arch Riley
settled here and engaged in the livery
business. Last Saturday two men
named Lowry and Montgomery arrived
here, who were introduced by Riley as
his cousins. Riley began to sell out his
possessions, but it was noticed that he
was at all times closely watched by his
Cousins"
AT last he found chance to notify a
friend that he was under duress and
needed relief. Then the two men were
arrested for KIDNAPPING They nlai,nad
that Riley, who lived with them at
Troy, N. Y, had ruined Montgomerys
sister, who was Lowrys sister-in-law.
They had tracked him to this place, and
under pain of instant death compelled
him to proceed about disposing of his
property in order to return with them
and marry the girl.
The case of kidnapping was dismissed
by Solicitor General Griggs, who de-
clared that the only fault he could find
with the men was t.AU they had not
taken more vigorous measures.

SAN FhANUIsUo, Feb. 90. A man
named Manuel Gomez unfolded re-
markable tale to a member of the Mex
ican revolutionary sy1npathizers, a party
which is dormant in this city. Gomez
hailed from New York, and claimed to
be en- route to carry out a plot to assas-
sinate President Diaz. Gomez left for
the south some days ago. He is de-
scribed as a small man, with peculiar
expression in his eyes and large mouth.
Whatever may be the fact in Gomez
case, circumstantial evidence has proved
beyond doubt that there is a revolt
