President Weir of the Adams Express
company has been compelled by press of
business to refuse audiences with the
scores of inventors who have besieged him
since the holding up of the Virginia ex-
press. He has just contracted for cars,

Col. NJ. ]. OBrien president of the
Southern Express Company, has had his
full share of visits from the robber-proof
car inventors and cranks who thought
they had ideas. Col. O'Brien believes the
only solution of the problem is the ma

trying of the robbers in . United States
court. In the far west the robbers are
often-times enabled to influence "A local

JAPAN SEXES AMERICANS.
Two Men and Their Interpreter Taken
From the Steamer Sydney.

Two Men and Their Interpreter Taken
From the Steamer Sydney.
London, Nov. IA dispatch to the Fail
Mall Gazette from Choo Foo says the
Japanese land and sea forces made a
simultaneous and vigorous attack upon
Port Arthur and the Chinese feet inside
the harbor.
The two Americans arrested by the jap
nese authorities on the steamer Sydney at
Kode are named Hope and Brown. The
name of the Cinnamon taken into custody
at the same time is Cham Fam Moore.
He is believed to be an Interpreter of the
Chinese legation at Washington. The
Japanese authorities informed the captain
of the Sydney before attempting to make
the arrests that if he would surrender
these passengers he would be allowed to
proceed for his destination. The offer,
however, the captain refused to avail
himself of, whereupon an armed force
boarded the Sydney. and despite the pro-
tests of the French consul and the
steamers captain, seized the three men
and removed them from the vessel.
The correspondent OF the Central News
at Shanghai says rumOrs are persistently
circulated there that the Pi Yang squadron
is in Port Arthur. If these rumors are
founded on fact it must be that the fleet
went there under orders received direct
from Pekin, as Ii Hung Chang would
never have allowed the squadron to be
caught in such a trap. The Chinese re-
port that japanese are rapidly advancing
in the rear of Port Arthur and that
strong Japanese fleet, including thirty tor
pedo boats, is outside the harbor 1t is
expected that Port Arthur and the Chi
nese fleets will fall into the hands of the
enemy Japanese reports from New
Chwang say deserters from the Chinese
army are arriving there by fifties and that
a panic exists among the Chinese, hun
dreds of whom are leaving by every
steamer.
The japanese flying squadron Is reported
to be a hundred miles off New Chwang
and the Chinese there are shipping their
goods, considering it unsafe to remain
there during the winter.
The Telegraph publishes the statement
that among the demands upon China
which Japan will insist as a condition of
the settlement of the war, are the pay
ment of an indemnity of about f40 OO0, 5000
and the cession to her by China of the
Island of Formosa.

The desire for stimulants of some kind
and a knowledge of their beneficial action
when used in moderation seem to be in
stinctive in all but the very lowest races Of
mankind. At first sight 1t would seem that
the Moslem races would form an excep-
tion to this rule, but that is not the case
As matter OF religious discipline they re-
frain from alcohol, but in coffee and opium
they have stimulants better suited TO in
habitants of hot climates than alcohol
The same may be said Of the Hindoos and
the large number of Mongols who take
no alcahol. These races are in about the
third rank of civilization In the first
two ranks not only is there no race which
which uses no stimulants. but 1t Is a fact
that the completely and variety Of slim
ulants used increase directly with the de-
Velopment of civilization.
