FORTUNATE PIG STICKER
CHICAGO BUTCHER JOINT HEIR
TO AN IRISH FORTUNE.
An English Romance IL Attached to
tho Story of Joseph Ksarns'
Stroke of Coed
Lucks

CHICAGO. Aug. 1.-Jeseph Kearns, q
butcher employed in Armour's packing
house at the stock yards, will not find 1t
necessary much longer to "stick pigs"
for living, since he has fallen heir to
q considerable fortune in Ireland.
Kearns has but one brother, James,
now In San Francisco, and they may be
the only heirs to the snug sum OF $780,
600, or about $500. 900.
There is an English romance about
the story of the inheritance to give it
On interest, and it is fact that two poor
men are made rich. James Kearns is
charged with endeavoring to secure his
brothers portion of the heritage and
the desertion of faithful wife.
James came to this country in 1866
and is said to have abandoned his wife
Boon after his departure from Ennis
earthly, Wexford county, Ireland, his
home. An uncle, Anthony Keerns,
died and left the alleged fortune to his
heirs.
The wife of James was remembered
by small annuity. With this to de-
fray her expenses she sailed to America
in search of her husband. She tracked
him from New York to Chicago. and
from this city to San Francisco. Unable
to proceed farther. she worked as .
domestic in Chicago and sought the ad-
vice OF Rev. Father Flanagan, pastor of
the church at the corner of Fifty-fifth
etreet and Wentworth avenue. James
Kearns has been located in a butcher
shop in San Francisco.

Arrived at Nsgasak., Japan, Presumably
for Coal and Supplies.
WASHINGTON, Aug. la cablegram
announcing the arrival of the United
States steamship Monocscy at Nagasaki,
Japan, received by Secretary Herbert
today, is the only official news that has
come to the government from its repre-.
aentatives in China and Japan, and the
surmise that official dispatches are being
obstructed purposely now amounts to
conviction. The Monocacy was at
Chenilpo, Corea, with the Baltimore,
and 1t is supposed she ran over to Naga-
saki for coal and supplies.
II is thought here the action OF Japan
officially notifying Great Britain of tho
existence Of a etate of war between
China and Japan was precipitated by the
Kow Shung incident. Had such notice
preceded the sinking of the ship, Japan
would not have incurred liability to
Great Britain and been obliged to
apologize. Iu effect that notice is
equivalent to the declaration of war,
or at least it imposes the same obligs-
tions upon neutral nations.
By this stroke Japan doubtless hss
seriously embarrassed China in her
efforts to supply herself with warliks
equipment in other countries. just
what the effect will be on Chinese
treaty ports cannot be foretold now.
Japan has taken the ground that they
are practically foreign settlements, and
therefore has disclaimed any intention
to interfere with them, regarding them
as outeide the scene of hostile opera
tions. 1t is believed, however, China
will now proceed to close the more i'm
portant treaty ports. beginning with
Shanghai. perhaps by obstructing the
entrances.

q newspaper man of this city who re-
Gently returned from a 3-years' stay
in Japan, during which time he
was associated with Japanese soldiers
and travelled considerably throughout
that country and the Coresn coast, said
to an Associated Press reporter:
Japan will without doubt como off
victorious over China in the present
struggle. If numbers amounted to much
Japan would not be morsel for China,
40 there are 400, 600, 600 Chinese and only
10000. 900 Japanese.
because OF the vast expanse OF water
over there moot OF the fighting must
necessarily be done at sea. The jap
snese navy is new and thoroughly Or
ganized. Their goldiers are brave and
disciplined. Japan has culled from
every nation the cream of modern war
fare and has the sympathy OF the civil
lied world.
"On the other hand China is a nation
of superstition, OF lsziness. 1t has come
large war vessels, but they have not
been we'll kept and are dirty and poorly
prepared for an engagement. Chinese
soldiers are patriotic. but are not disci-
plined. The two engagements already
reported prove this statement. The
largest man.of-war in the Chinese navy
has already bean sunk and thousands Of
Chinese lost their lives, while hardly a
scratch was felt by the Japanese. The
fact that China has q land inlet to
Corea will not amount to much in the
present struggle. - any number OF
Chinese aoldiers would not avail on Co.
rean soil before an open ire of the Jap
anese fleet. The Japanese could rour
the Chinese army from nearly any CO.
rean city by means OF their feet. as the
sea touches on all sides of that country.
My theory is that if q prolonged war
should follow, China might whip Japan
by sheer force of numbers. az China
could awsrm the Japanese islands like
locusts. and it would not matter much

the sentiment among the underwriters,

on such will probably be the lightest

All the foreign marine insurance
