JAPAN AND CHINA.
which Would BE Victorious in the
Event OF War7


Japan Gszette.
As to- which of the two combatants
would win il the worst comes TO the worst
there is no need here 10 discuss. That the
Japanese troops would acquit themselves
in manner worthy OF the traditions of
the great Hideyoshi goes without saying.
bat China is a vast country and war could
be going on tor years on her frontiers with
out people in the interior suffering any
Inconvenience. ItIs different with Japan.
Even II she gained many victories they
would tell nearly as severely as MANY de-
feats. The country is not rich one Al
ready the farmer and the husbandman are
taxed 10 the uttermost The surplus in
the treasury would soon be swallowed up
and u would be very difficult 10 raise
more. True she has no national debt
worth speaking of. and a loan in Europe
would be readily taken up. but all this
would mean heavier taxation. Hence her
industries would be Handicapped aud
trade would dwindle. So great would be
the burden that we doubt whether even
the acquisition Of Korea would be sufii-
Gent reeompense.
We would not impugn the bravery or the
ability OF Japan's army. Her soldiers will
not dim the luster OF those heros who.
Under knomoto, waged unequal war at
Hakodate. or of those brave men who died
calamity tor a lost cause under Saigo Ia
kamori. They come Of a fighting race and
will do all that courageous men can do to
achieve success. But what will be the use
OF q victory or two against such a country
es China9 Ii is doubtful il there is a
power in the world which, singie-handsd,
could reduce China 20 humility. France
tried it and failed, and what France could
not do. IL Is st teast open to question that
Japan can perform. Japan. whether VIC
torious or defeated, will lose thousands of
men and exhaust her treasures. China
will not know that she has been hurt III
defeated she will send more troops, for
what IS half million soldiers in country
with four hundred million popuiation7
The entire Chinese army is divided into
three sections. Ia the time o. PEACE most
OF them are engaged IN peaceful occupa-
uons and are only called out in time OF

Making the Most of That Half Year.


Heroes do not always die on battledelds.
We all know that, but now and then the
truth of the statement is exempltned IN =
manner that is forceful. One evening
there came into the room where l SAT .
beautiful woman, tastefuiiy attired. Her
eyes were unnaturally brilliant, and in her
cheeks there famed q color like stain Of
blood. i recognized her at once as a vel
known and highly successful teacher in
one of Chicago's public schools There
was something about her appearances that
surprised me, for heretofore upon the oc-
casions when we had met she had been
notable for the plainness. not 10 say the
shabbiness of her attire. The rlcn veivei
OF the cape she wore and the ieathers on
her elegant hat caused me to exclaim:
why, how handsome you lookl What
have you struck 2"
"Deathw was the answer. "The doc
tors have told nae today that l have an IN
durable disease and cannot possibly live
longer than six months. ! have scrimped
myself ali my life TO save money TO buy
books and cultivate my mind. / arm
through with all that; now l am going %
take hand at the material pleasures II
| have but half year to live III live
royalty"
Since that time she has wasted rapidly.
but the room where she lies Is full Of
flowers and objects of beauty. The gowns
she wears are creations of beauty. and she
allows no mourning nor any allusion 10
her fate in her presence. She faces death
with an absolute heroIsm that mRSes one
want TO applaud rather than to weep.
This manifestation is not so grand as the
manifestation of moral courage might be.
but there is something about II which
makes the blood tingie Bit

CHICAGO, Nov IA large detail of
police was called out at noon today TO
quell a bread riot in the city hall. Two
hundred and fifty discharged employees
of the water department gathered about
the comptroller's office and demanded the
wages due them. The comptroller sent a
clerk to inform the men that there was
no money in the city treasury to pay
them. Instantly the crowd became riot
Gus. Cries Of bread and threats of instant
vengeance were howled forth by the angry
crowd, and the comptroller, gathering mis-
clerks. barred the doors 10 his office and
sent a hurried call for policemen. A half
dozen officers appeared, but were prompt
ly rushed out of the corridors by the
thoroughly aroused men. A battalion of
pasrolmen was summoned, and after a
liberal use of force the rioters were
dubbed INTO submission and driven from
the city hall. The large crowd which had
been attracted by the disturbance was
heartily in sympathy with the eX-em-
ployes, and threats to compel instant pay

GETS A BIG COB.
Judge Winters Allows Receiver
Fniley $4,000.

Yesterday morning Judge Winters, in
the superior court, issued an order allow
ing James F. Fai,ey, receiver of the order
Of the Iron Hall, the sum of $780, 900 for
his services to date in conducting the set
tlement of the great trust.
Receiver Fai.ey, in his petition. set out
that in a conversation with Judge Ma
poleon B. Taylor, Aug. %, 1892, the judge
had informed him that owing to the
magnitude of the Iron Hall trust it would
be necessary that he (Fai.ey) should de-
vote his entire time to the receivership;
that all his energies would have 10 be
expended in outstanding the money be
longing to the Iron Hal claimants, and
administering the trust. The petitioner
set out that at that time he was con-
WINGED he would have to abandon alto
gedher his private business.
He further represented that he had
been compelled to give bond of $1,000,
600. which, if furnished by a surety com
pany, would have cost the trust from
$4,000 10 $4,000 a year. As it was, his
business standing in the community had
been such that he had been able to fur
nish the bond without cost to the trust.
Receiver Failey stated that the labor
with which he had been burdened had
been severe and eXacting. There were
1400 branches of the order scattered
through the country, with $4,000 men,
bers as creditors of the trust. This had
necessarily occasioned an immense cor
respondence. He had been compelled to
give a large amount of attention to the
funds misapp.ied 10y the officers of the
order in the Someroy bank at Philadel-
phia. Then there had been numerous
Appeals taken, causing much additiona.
labor and the employment of a large
clerical force.
In 1898, when the receivership was
made permanent, he had been compelled
10 give a new bond of 81 100000 and had
supplied this new bond without cost TO
the trust. No less than 10000 claims had
passed through his hands and his mail
had averaged 400 letters a day. He had
secured the pos.office addresses Of every
claimant and had arranged with banks
at such PAGES to pay off al Iron Hal.
drafts without cost to the claimant, This
saving from 10 to Is cents TO each claim
ant.
Receiver Fai,ey set out that he was
chargeab!e with $1,622, 706.22 and stated
that there were still, due the trust sums
aggregating S225, 900. He had discussed
$500. 900, and the indications were that
the trust would be wound up within a
few months.
He asked for $4,000 as being a reason
able allowance for his services.
The court then called in John c. New,
Bement Lyman and N S. Byram to
testify as to the value of Receiver Fai-
ley's services. Each swore that he had
reasonably earned $4,000. The sum of
$4,000 having been previously paid Mr.
Failey. he was Allowed the difference of
$4,000, and passed out of the court room
apparently satisfied.

DENVER, Nov. 16.-The Rocky Noun
tain News today says that syndicate is
scLeming to obtain control of the silver
market and to dictate the prlf Of the
metal to all silver-using countries. A con-
fernce was held in this city this week it
is said, at which were present Daniel Gug-
genheim of New York, Messrs. Barton &
Nash Of Omaha, Mr.. Hanauer Of Salt
Lake and Mr.. Allen of the Philadelphia
smelling and refining company at Pueblo,
and representatives Of the local smelters
and the leading silver producing mines.
Two reports are current as to the de-
tails Of the proposed plan. One is that
a syndicate, backed by John d. Rookie
feller and the Rothschi,ds viii sustain
control of al the smelters in the United
States and Mexico and arbitrarily fix
the price Of silver, regardless Of the sup
ply and demand. a proposition was
made. so L is stated. that the smelters
should be taken al an appraised va.ua-
ton equivalent TO cost. This was 10 be
paid in cash. Then each was 10 have
proportioEate block Of stock in the new
wanted their plant paid for at its real
value. not its cost. This hitch has still
to be adjusted.
According TO the other report, the prop
Osition is TO have the silver Of ali the
smelters handled through one man or
agency. At present the Guggenheims
have a certain house, the Grant people
another. and 50 on. There would be a
