THE JAPANESE ARMY.

Washington dispatches under
date of August 0th, state that in
formation received at the Japanese
legation is that Mr., Kurino, the
new Minister to this country, will
leave Japan at once for his new
post of duty, He is expected to
arrive the latter part Of the month.
The legation officials have not yet
had any communication with Val
entine Nowaki, the leader of the
foreign forces of the Pennsylvania
coke strikers, who proposed to raise
5, 600 soldiers for use in the war
against China. 1t is pretty safe to
say, however, that while Mr. No
walks offer would be duly appreci-
ated yet it would be promptly de
clined The Japanese army has
been brought up to very high
standard of efficiency, modelled very
much after the tactics in vogue in
Germany, and if the former govern
ment sought the assistance of for
eign troops, which is not regarded
as probable, it is likely that efforts
would be made to obtain them from
Germany.

HOLE THROUGH THE EARTH.

A curious resident of Richmond,
Mo-, recently propounded the fol
lowing. peculiar question to the ed
itor of "Notes for the Curious, in
the st. Louis Republic:
eff it we're possible to drill a hole
of foot or more in diameter en-
tirely through the earth and then
start a ball weighing 100 pounds or
more to falling through the same,
at what point would it stop?"
ANSWER: Weight, in the sense
that " w. M. j. refers to it, is the
measure of the attraction of gravi-
tation; or, in other words, it is the
measure of force with which a body
is attracted toward the earth.
This attractive force decreases both
ways from the surface of the earth
outward into space, or downward
toward the globes supposed molten
center In partial explanation of
this assertion, I will say that any
given size bulk Of iron, or any other
mineral or material whatever, will
weigh less on the top Of high
mountain than it will at sea level
In order to be exact in this matter,
| will say that mass of 100 pounds
will lose exactly two pounds between
tidewater and the top of a noun
tain four miles high. This, it is plain
to be seen, is because the force of
the earth's attraction is much less
on the mountain top than at the
sea level.
Therefore, if the ball be started
on the journey outlined by the
query sent in by our Richmond
friend, its weight would decrease, to
a certain extent with every yard OF
its Fighter fall-until finally, upon
reaching the center of the earth,
it would have no appreciable weight
the attraction at that point acting
equally in every direction This
being true, it is plain that the phe-
nomenon Of what we know as
weight would be entirely wanting,
and the ball would be held in sus-
pension as though transfxed by nu-
merous magnetic or invisible
points,

THE FREE BRIDGE.
Little Rock & Memphis Road Has
the Charter and Will
Build It,

In todaY's issue of the Arkansas
Gazette appears the notice of an
announcement made in the Fort
Smith News-Record, of yesterday
to the effect that H. G. Martin, the
well known surveyor, and John
Right, well known railway civil
engineer had left that city in a
two horse rig overland for Wister
l. T., the junction of the Frisco
and Choctaw Railway.
Thereby hangs tale,
John M. Rose, the well known
lawyer, and a director and promi-
nent factor in The Little Rock
Bridge and Terminal Railway and
free bridge movement, recently re
turned from New York City where
he spent three weeks, after COM
munication with eastern and for
eign capitalists While there he
learned some important railroad
news. He learned that the Little
Rock & Memphis Railroad Company
had possession of the Charter for a
line from Little Rock, south of the
Arkansas River to Wister Junction,
and intended to proceed at once to
build the Memphis road west to
Wister, to connect with the Choc-
taw road, which crosses the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas at McAles-
ter, and has a branch partly built
from Ell Reno, I. 7, While in New
York, the charter and franchise Of
the Little Rock Bridge and Termi-
nal Railway company were trans
ferred to the Memphis road, who
will also build the long talked of
"free bridge. Work will begin on
the road October /.

COL. HODGES ADDRESS.
He Warns the Hearts of Miller Coun-
ty Democracy, With the Fires
of Patriotic Eloquence.

The address, delivered in this city
last evening, by Col. Jake Hodges,
of Paris, Tex, in response to an in
vitation from Miller County Democ-
racy, was in every sense, an able
and mastery effort. Aside from
the faculty of getting right into
the heart of any subject he may
discuss, Col. Hodges has a wonder
full store of information on political
questions, of every kind and char
acter, combined with an excellent
command of language, which makes
him an easy, fluent and forcible
speaker. His exposition of the
money question, last evening, con-
tanned some of the most logical con-
illusions on National finance ever
drawn by a pubic speaker in this
city. His ideas were clear, forcible
and logical, his reasoning, deep, and
unobscured by rhetorical fourishes,
while his deductions we're irresisti-
BILE to an unprecedented mind,
Throughout the entire time consum-
ed by the speaker his utterances
were listened to with rapt atten-
ton by the large audience assem-.
bled, who greeted his eloquent affir-
nation Of mistaken faith in the fl
nal triumph of the grand principles
of National Democracy, with deaf
ening applause. COL Hodges was
given a perfect ovation by local
Democracy, in return for his kind
ness and courtesy, in remaining
over to assist the cause of Democ-
racy in a County and State other
than his own.
In the course of his address Col.
Hodges handled the "Third Party
ites" without gloves, showing up in
its true colors the "reform hobby, )"
upon which the members of this
so-called Peoples Party are trying
to ride into place and power. He
scored the leaders of this self
righteous" movement, numerically,
and finally cast the tattered gar
ment of populism aside, torn into
shreds by the force of Democratic
logic and practical common sense.

HAWAII RECOGNIZED.
The New Republic Officially Recognize
ed by the United States
Government.

WASHINGTON, August "a letter
of congratulation and greeting from
President Cleveland, in the name of
the United States, is on the way
from Washington to President Dole,
of the Hawaiian republic. The rec
ignition of the new republic was fl
nally decided upon this week and
the message was framed and mail
ed yesterday through the regular
channels. Although the customary
secrecy which attends diplomatic
matters has surrounded the rela-
tions of the United States with the
Hawaiian Republic since that coun-
try assumed its new form of gov
eminent, it is learned upon good au-
thority that there has never been
any doubt of President Cleveland
course in the matter of the recog-
milton of the new government Of
Hawaii as de facto government. A
few days ago a letter was received
from President Dole conveying the
formal announcement of the proc
lamation of the new republic and
the Inauguration of the new gov
eminent. This letter was laid be
fore the Cabinet and has been un-
der consideration while the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs was
debating whether it should report a
resolution for recognition. With
the letter Of greeting to President
Dole, which, of course, will pass
through the hands of Minister Viii
lis, was sent letter to Minister
Willis ratifying his action in provi-
sionally extending the usual recog-
niton to the Republic Mr., Frank
P. Hastings, who, in the absence OF
Minister Thurston, is charge DAT
flares at the Hawaiian Legation
here, has had an interview with
Secretary Gresham, and was told
that he had been officially recogniz-
ed as the representative of the new
government.

JAPAN SHOULD WIN.

A yesterdays dispatch from Taco
ma, Wash, says; Col. W. r.
Bridgeman, who has had command
of the United States cruiser, Balti-
more, for the past two years, has
returned to his home, at that place
on two months leave of absence,
having left the cruiser at Chemulpo
Corea, July y. He regards the
oriental war as an unequal contest
with the odds entirely favoring Ja-
pan which, he says, has splendid
navy and an army as well equipped
as that Of any European country,
Japan he thinks is sure to win unless
China is given time to make war
preparations on a gigantic scale.
In his opinion the Japanese govern
ment has been endeavoring to force
the war in order to detract atten-
ton from internal political dissen-
SiOns.

and fired the moment he realized
what the trouble was, The second
shot was fired by the train robber,
and Kane fell dead. The brakeman
then fired, and a second later he
fell with a bullet through his loins

not promptly throw up his hands
under such circumstances. Provid-
ed all the passengers were armed,
one or two robbers could not fight
the whole lot, but as rule only a
few are armed, and even the first
man to take hostile action would
bite the dust. One of the robbers
was wounded by either Kane or the
brakeman and his companions were
captured by the trail of blood.

American Bureau of Organization
of the Democratic Congressional
committee, has just issued leng-
thy and interesting address to the
colored Democrats of the United
States. The address, in brief, says:
"The National Negro Democratic
League will convenein Indianapolis,
Ind, on the 18th inst. 1t is hoped
that negro Democrats from every
state and locality will be represent
ed, to evidence by their presence
and vote their loyaly to the princi-
pies of the administration. At no
time in the history of negro Demo-
Gratis has there been greater need
for counseling together to deter
mine the future course and policy
of the negro in America. 1t is a
matter Of sincere congratulation to
note the answering fealty shown
to the Democratic party by our
people in Alabama during the re-
cent election, Possibly for the first
time was the negro vote directly
appealed to, and its response was
evidenced by return of large
Democratic majorities in every ne
gro county in the state. This open
appeal to the negro is and should
be especially gratifying to you and
the negroes generally"
