TIE JAPANESE ARE WAR MAD,

Rcmarkable.

San Francisco. Oct. 7,-Fumihira

spending several months in the interior
when the government issued call for
troops.

leave-takings. Poor farmers, too poor
to pay tlieir way, ran after the army
twenty miles TO cheer them Oh TO viz

the prospect of war. and danger to life
and limb was the last thing that the
father and mother thought of in bid
ding their sons good bye.
"Mothcrs are not praying in Japan
to-day that their sons may be spared.
They gather in the places of worship
in great numbers and pray. but their

Japan has the sympathy of the
Orient except the English. English
sentiment as far as I have been able
to observe, is with the Chinese. In
Yokohama n few weeks ago n wealthy
English merchant made wager with
Il French resident that the first import
ant land engagement would result in
Il victory for the Chinese. He bet 500
600 against $1,000 and the odds We're
so great that 1t was the talk of the
country. The battle of Ping Yang de
cided tho wager. The Englishman lost
his 100000"

CHINESE ARE SCARED.
JAPANESE FLEET ADVANCING.

London, Oct. Ga dispatch from
Shanghai to-day says that the masters
of several Chinese junks which ar
rived at Chez Foo yesterday reports
having sighted large feet of Japan
csc Transports escorted by war ships,
on Tuesday night. This japanese
heet was then entering the gulf of
Pei Chi Ii and, after steaming west
ward for some distance, the course
of the war ships and transports were
altered to about northeast. All the
Japanese fleet. war ships and trans
ports included. Numbered 10 ships.
Their presence in the gulf of Pei Chi
Ii has caused the greatest excitement
at Shanghai and elsewhere.
In London 1t is believed that the
Japanese fleet referred TO as having
been sighted Is the expeditionary force
consisting of 10000 men which left
hiroshima. the Japanese headquarters,
on september 2G, under sealed orders
and under command of Field Marshall
Count oyama. who was Japanese min
lister of war. Upon taking command
of the expedition, he temporarily hand
ed over that portfolio TO the minister
of marine, Count Saigo. This force
composed the second Japanese army
corps, and was escorted by the second
Japanese squadron.
A dispatch received at New Chwans.

are in full retreat from Moukden,
which is threatened by the advance of
the Japanese troops from Corea and
the Japanese force said to have been
landed near Postcl bay and not far
| from Russian territory bordering ON
| Corea and the Chinese province of
| Manrhuria.
Another report which reaches Lon
| don from Shanghai says that 1t is be-
| lieved at the latter city that the Chi
ncse forces which have been defend
| ing Moukden have been hastily sum
moncd from that place in order 10 op-
pose the projected Japanese landing
| either in the Gulf of Pei Chi Lii or in
the Gulf of Lao Ton. The Chinese
have been hurriedly adding to the for
titications of New Chwang in antici-
patton of n Japanese attack upon that
port or IL landing in its neighborhood.

Co Operation on Government Works in
Now Zealand.
The United States consul at Auck-
land, New Zealand, states that Auck-
all the public work under construction
in the colony is done under the prin
ciples of cooperation. A government
engineer makes an estimate of the
cost of construction of n piece Of rail-
way; bids are advertised for and the
work is let out to gangs Of laborers
who have banded themselves together
for this purpose. Thus, instead of
giving the work to n contractor 1t Is
given to the working men Of the col
ony. they receiving the same rate per
yard for earth or rock as IL the work
was given to contractor. This sys-
TEN is working admirably and Is Civ
Ing every satisfaction to all concerned
The men are making good wages, and
are quite enthusiastic in their work.
knowing that the harder they work the
more money they will have at the end
of the month, This cooperative sys-
TEN seems to imbue them with spirit
of self-reliance and independence hith
erto comparatively unknown among
workmen here. The government Is to
be commended for the, in many In
stances, unique and thoroughly practi-
cal movements for tho prevention Of
distress and for tho amelioration and
elevation of the working classes gen
orally. To Its efforts, which have been
blessed with the most signal success
may be attributed the conspicuous alb
sence of pauperlsm and vagrancy, un-
so prevalent In other lands
to-day.

doing good deal toward having reser-
vations made and hns also been urging
legislation for their preservation aud
protection. Commissioner Lnmoreaux ls
practical lumberman. and referring
to the value of the timber on these for
est reservations, says that no timber
is valuable unless 1t is within market
able distance OF streams or railroads.
and Mt present none of the timber on
these reservations could be sold. He
does not believe that their timber will
be demanded for half a century.
part Of the scheme for the preserva-
ton of the forest includes the sale of
timber from them to pay for their pro
lection. Ii there Is no demand for the
timber this plan will fail and 1t will be
necessary for the government to appro-
pirate money for this purpose.
Already there have been plans pre-
scntcd for making national parks of
these reservations and If the first plan
fails then an effort will be made 10
turn them over TO the several states for
state parks.

been disputed whether the gospels

very widely used in Palestine at TINS
time, and that it was understood by the
Jews as well as by others. We have
recovered the stone, written in Greek,

ese are pursuing the campaign to-
wards Moukden cautiously and are
avoiding any dashing enterprises.
Their cruisers are closely watching
the Chinese fleet In the gulf of Pc Chi

The dispatch adds that fugitives
from Ping Yang describe the Japanese
tactics ns most scientific, while their
weapons are perfect ON the other
hand, the Chinese operations are said
to be conducted in an antiquated fash
ion and there is considerable disagree
ment among the Chinese generals.
The Japanese are gaining the sympa-

their supplies and maintaining strict
discipline. The dispatch concludes
with the statement that the admiral Of
the French fleet has arrived.
The Japanese government has In
structed Field Marshal Yamagn to IN
form the diplomats ut Seoul that he
will not allow the Japanese army to

Madrid. Oct 7.-According to adviccs
received here from Lisbon, the greatest
excitement prevails at the capital of
Portugal 1t is stated that large
number of Portuguese naval officers,
asgricvcd at a certain passage in the
speech which the king recently made
Mt the opening of the Portuguese
cortes. drew up manifesto in the form
of protest, addressed to the nation.
No names were attached to this docu-
ment, but its authors are known to be
mer of high position and influence.
The police have arrested the man
who printed the manifesto and the
greatest excitement has been caused at
Lisbon by this action upon the part of
the dissatisfied naval officers. In con

portcd that the minister of marine, j.
A. De Brissac Dos Ncus Fcrroira, will

ANDREW c. CURTIN is DEAD.
The Famous Pennsylvania War Governor
Passes Away.

The Famous Pennsylvania War Governor
Passes Away.
Bellefontaine, Pa, Oct. Sex Gov.
Andrew G. Curtin died at 3 o'clock
yesterday morning. His end was
peaceful, he having been unconscious
during the last twelve hours. All the
members Of his family were at the
bedside when he passed away. Mr.
Curtin had been in feeble health for
some weeks, but his condition grew
serious on Thursday last, aud from that
time he sank rapidly. Death was
caused by old age. The ex-governor
ing combined with nervous trouble
which, upon reaching the vital point
in the brain, ended his life. When
the case first took on serious aspect
physicians were summoned, but they
then abandoned all hopes of recovery,
and the death Of the old war governor
was not surprise.
Andrew &. Curtin was born in
Bellefonte, Center county, April %
1915. His father, Roland Curtin, en-
igrated from Ireland in 1903, and 1907
established near Bellcfonte one of the
first manufactures of iron in that re
Eton. Andrew studied law in the Dick
inson college law school and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1899, and soon
became prominent. He early entered
politics as Il Wing, laboring for Har-
rison's election in 1910, and making II
successful canvass in the state for Clay
in 1914. He was presidential cleo
tor in 1913 and n candidate for elector
on the Wing ticket In 1852.
In 1854 Governor Pollock appointed
him secretary Of the commonwealth
and eX.ofiicio superintendent of COM
mon schools and in the discharge of
his duties Mr.. Curtin did much toward
reforming the school system of the
state. His annual report of 1855 rec
commended the legislature to establish
normal schools and his suggestion was
adopted.
In 1860 Mr.. Curtin was the Repub-
lican candidate for governor. The
Democrats, though divided in nation
al politics, We're united in Pennsyl-
vania, but Mr.. Curtin was elected by
IL majority of $4,000. He advocated
the forcible suppression of secession
and was one of the war governors who
was most earnest In the support OF the
national government. He responded
promptly to the first call for troops
and when General Patterson, who
was in command in Pennsylvania,
asked for 25,O0O more troops they
were Mt once furnished. General Pat.
tcrson's requisitiOn was afterwards
revoked by the secretary of war on
the ground that the troops We're not
needed. but Governor Curtin, instead
OF disbanding them, obtained author
i,y from the legislature to equip them
at the states expense and hold them
subject to the cnll of the national gov.
crnment. The body of men became
known as the pennsylvania Reserve
and was accepted by the authorities
Mt Washington n few weeks later
Governor Curtin was untiring in his
efforts for the comfort of the soldiers
answering carefully the numerous let
tiers sent him from the field, and
originated the system of care and in
struotlon for the children of those
slain in battle, making them wards OF
the state. He thus became known iI
the ranks MS the SOLDIERS friend"

Rate Cutting in the West,

Chicago, Oct s.-The Interstate Com
merce commission, will, on Wednes-
day, begin another investigation Of
rate cutting by railroad, with n
view of indicating the offender. The
road to be investigated is the Santa
Fe. Subpoenas were issued today
commanding Aldnce +. Walker, one
of the receivers, and w. G. Gillett,
general auditor of the company, to
appear before the federal grand jury
Wednesday morning with mass of
books and papers, from which, 1t is
believed, the grand jury will obtain
MUCK useful information. The sub
poenn served upon Mr.. Walker di-
rectetl him to produce before the grand
jury the receipts given by Isaac
Thompson, dated in October, 1892, for
$500. This amount was n rebate
which Thompson received on 173 cars
of live stock shipped by him from,
Kansas City to Chicago in September,
1882. Request is also made for other
papers showing alleged rebates.

INDIAN SCHOOL QUESTION.
Commissioner Armstrong Much Interested
In tho Subject.

Washington. Oct. 7.-Gcncral Arm
trong, assistant commissioner of In
dian affairs, is very much interested in
the Indian school question and cont
mentinG upon tho desire exhibited i'll
certain sections for more public and
less contract schools, he said: "No one
opposes public schools for Indians here;
they are as efficient and comparatively
MS economical as contract schools. Tn-
der the latter system we know where
the money is and how many Indians
are getting the benefit of it. Con
tract schools do not necessarily mean
that contracts are made with religious
organizations. There are some who he

and sending the Indians TO these insti-
tutions. The contact of the Indian iads
with the white scholars would be part
of their education. 1t is possible that
Indians will not all acquire book lea"ii-
ins, but they are learning civilization
through the mixed schools and that is
one of the most important lessons they
have to acquire. As to there being amy
trouble about class or aversion to white
children, to the Indians that could
hardly arise. A man who takes his
wife and family into an Indian coun-
try and settles among them, knowing
that he will be compelled 10 live among
them, cannot complain of the associa-
ton of his children in the same schools

the treasury department that Secrc-
tary Carlisle very likely will decide
this afternoon as to When the sections
of the wool schedule of the tariff act
relating TO goods other than those gen
orally known as manufactures of wool.

the secretary will define his position in
n telegram to be sent to collectors gen
orally or to the board of general ap-
praiscrs at New York. The secretary,
it Is understood. will hold that the en-
tire wool schedule will go into effect
january /. 1895, thus sustaining the
New York board and the collector at
Baltimore.
1t is learned also that the secretary
to-day in letter TO Collector Miller, Of
the internal revenue bureau. will de-
ci,.e that in view Of the insurmountablo
difficulties in the way of putting into
operation the free alcohol section of
the new act, that nothing further shall
be done in the matter until congress
