Royal Speech From the Jap
anese Throne.
Desire to Promote the CiviIizatyn Of
the Whole Country.
Government Sceptical I'm Regard to tho
China Peace Overtures.

TOXIC, Dec. 24.--Parliament was openSd
today by commission. The speech from
the throne briefly refers to the vic-
tory achieved by the Japanese troops
in every engagement and say, they
arc steadily pressing forward into the
enemy's territory, adding that 1t II es-
pecially satisfactory to note that In
spite OF cold and hardships, the forces
are moro than ever distinga aishing
themselves. by their valor. Continuing,
the speech from the throne says that tho
relations of Japan with the neutral
powers are more friendly than ever.
The revision OF the treaties on
long cherished desire has been accom-
plished with some countries, and with
other states the negotiations for this
purpose are making feeble progress.
In conclusion the speech says: "Hav-
ing been placed in such glorious situs-
tion we wish more than ever
to promote the civilization Of the
country and enjoin parliament &,
take notice Of the state OF affairs
at home and abroad and by securing
harmony between the Government and
the people as In the furtherance Of the im-
perial Wishes"
The Government Is still sceptical In re-
gard to the China peace overtures and
points out that no authoritative state
ment has yet been made by China In
regard to the mission, and that while
China now processes to desire peace, news
has reached the Government of Japan
that China is negotiating for the purchase
Of an entire squadron of the Chilian navy
and the agents Of Colonel Won Hannekis
in Europe, 1t is added, are trying to en-
list a number OF German officers for ssr-
vice In the Chinese army and navy.

THE GATEMAN FORGOT THE TIDE.

The Wilde Tidal Power Wheel at Bowers
Cove was open to the public yesterday
afternoon. The attendance was not large
nor the exhibition Interesting, for the man
in charge of the gate either oversight
or made mistake In his reckoning as to
on hand to close the gates of the supply
reservoir until the tide was about Lalf
out, and as the incoming tide was not due
until late In the afternoon those inter-
ested In the exhibition did not remain.
The theory OF this piece OF mechanism,
which already has been given in THE
NEWS, Is rs follows: IL is n wheel IS feet
in diameter, with 13-foot face, on which
are q series OF buckets, and this is sup
posed TO be capable OF develop
ing 4t-horse power. lt makes
nine revolutions n minute sand 30 barrels
OF water are required Al each revolution.
This wAeel can be geared mp so that a
dynamo may be driven as high rs 1900
revolutions minute.
The wheel IL set upon a float in such a
manner as 10 be et all times about rs
inches above the level ofthe sea. The In
coming tide propels the wheel and at the
same time fills an immense reservoir from
which power is derived when the
tide Is receding. IL was
the Intentions OF Mcssrs. Wilde
and Brown td have dynamo attached,
but this portion of the work has been
postponed until spring. Several mill
owners have calico up the inventor, and
one man from Bath, Me-, said that II this
wheel ~as esaeeess that t-he-wonld- have
one capable of developing 5000 horse
power put In operation at his city.
Mr.. Brown, who has for the present got
charge OF the " heel, soys that there IL no
doubt but what the idea Is feasible and he
Is positive that the wheel will work.
Mr.. Wilde, tho senior member OF the
firm, II expected to arrive In the city from
Japan on or about Jan. 10.
