The Building Record.
During the week ending yesterday per-
mits were secured from the inspector of
buildings to erect twenty-seven new dwell
lings at a total estimated cost OF sIO9.3JO.
This was divided among the several sec
tons as follows: Northwest, thirteen per-
mits, ssi $50; southwest, five permits, $3.50;
northeast, two permits, 5000; southeast,
one permit. $500 and county, six permits,
Sl0,G0.
The most important feature OF the week
was the amendment passed by the Com
missioners. concerning the height of build
ings. For several weeks the Commission
ers have been besieged with letters from
citizens protesting against high buildings.
Horses Above the First Floor.
Another important amendment was that
prohibiting the stabling of horses above the
first floor. The Commissioners do not be-
lieve it is humane to jeopardize the lives OF
horses by placing them on upper floors.
All along the line the indications point
to a healthy condition of trade and Building
Inspector Entwisle looks for a good fall
season with the passage of the tariff bill.

JAPAN.
Its Army Well Drilled, Well Armed
aid Painting for a Fight.


From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Mr.. Norman, author of Real Japan" has
a very high opinion OF the Japanese army.
Up to the time of the Franco-German war
the instructors of this army were French
men. The result of the war was sufficient,
in Japanese opinion, to make a change de-
sirable. and the French instructors were
changed for English, German and Italian.
Few of these remain, as the Japanese now
think they know enough about the art of
war to prosecute it without foreign assist
ance. In fight between the japanese and
the Chinese, the former, in Mr.. Norman's
opinion, will surely win, as the japanese
army is equipped according to the most
modern ideas, and is of considerable size,
while the number of troops that China an
put into the field is known to none outside
of the 'Flowery Kingdom" and to few
within the realm. Their equipment, too,
is a good deal Of mystery. The Japanese,
MT. Norman says, are not only well drilled
and well armed, but they are brave and
they are painting for fight, one with China
preferred, they hate the Chinese with
whole-SOul rancOr. Regarding the SuZerain
ty of China over Japan it amounts, Mr..
Norman thinks, to very little. The son of
Heaven" as the Emperor of China is STYLED
at home, considers himself the suzerain of
the world. He suzerain of Lower and
Upper Burmah, and lost them both. Thibet
Nr Norman says, is the only country the
Son of Heaven" would fight desperately
for. OF the King and Crown Prince of
Corea, by whom he was received, Mr.. Nor
man mas not a fattering opinion. The crown
prince he describes as little better than a
"hydrocephalOuS IDIOT" The king is slight
Improvement upon this. Corea alone is not
in position to make fight. the country
is impoverished, and under its present ruler
Is of no use to the Coreans or to anybody
else. There are only a few hundred Corean
soldiers at the capital, and they are of the
opera bouffe order. China may fight rather
than let Japan take posses sion of Corea,
but If it comes to a fight between China and
Japan, the latter. in Ir. Norman's opinion,
will win.

EX-SENATOR EDMUNDs' VIEWS,
The President'. Letter to MI. Wilson
The Election of Senator..

The PRECEDENT. Letter to MI. Wilson
The Election of Senators.
Ex-United States Senator George F. Ed
Tunds Of Vermont, in an interview Wednes-
day at Newport, X. l., said of the Presi-
dents Wilson letter.
The President made a constitutional mis-
take in sending such a letter to a member
Of Congress with any intent for It to be
made public, and do not know Of any pre-
cedent for such action"
Regarding the proposition to elect United
states Senators by popular vote, Mr., Ed
munds said:
The Senate always has been and always
will be- SO lorg as constituted through cleo
ton by the legislatures of the states what
John Adams called the sheet anchor of
the republic On the whole, 1t has been
OF invaluable service in the good govern
ment of this country. This attack upon the
Constitution and the House provision for
the election of the Senators directly by the
people is an immense delusion and an at
tempted disturbance of conservative bal
ance, as the Senate is the feature that the
makers of the Constitution intended to
Rave most pronounced effect The quality
OF men selected through popular vote is
much more likely to reduce the quality of
the body, as is perfectly obvious to any
person who is at all read in the political
history of this or other countries
I'm one or two states it may be possible
to secure two or three men to vote for q
particular Senator by means of purchase,
which is a particularly bad thing, but it
must be remembered that the men that
manage that sort of thing can control the
primaries to choose delegates to state
convention more certainly than the men,
bers of any state legislature ever elected,
and that the people may generally be relied
upon to vote for the party nominee, good
or bad. If the staCs of the Union have q
wise regard for their own state independ-
ence and safety they will preserve the cleo
ton in their own legislative body, as they
preserve the making Of b--"

handsome. but he never forgot his
friends, of whom he had thousands. He
was a great traveller and recently made
a trip from Ventura to Los Angeles on
foot and several trips TO San Francisco.
Every conductor on the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific passed him and was
glad to see him jump aboard. He would
go through the train from cab to the
baggage car. and putting his head out
of the door watch the f--;rf till his des-
tination was reached. ..llon he always
seemed TO know. His associates were

With those of his own species he would
have nothing to do. He died on his way
TO Tustin to see a conductor he knew.
While looking out of baggage car he
gave an almost human moan. crawled
on the baggageman's lap and expired,
some thought in a tit, but probably
from poison. He was buried in style al

The Sponge Gatherers' association met
at the room over the store Of j. p. Rob
erts Monday evening. when President

a fair price would be offered and bonds
given and required for the faithful per

Mr.. Arapian addressed the meeting at
considerable length. offering several
specious arguments in favor Of his
propositions. declaring himself in favor
Of the Sponge Gatherers association and
stating that If he should withdraw from
the trust the same would be very badly
crippled and would be compelled to dis
solve at once
Mr.. John Lowe. Jr., who had almost
been persuaded to withdraw from the
association, now declared his intention
Of supporting it more strongly and ap
