Warm Plea for the Daughters of the Ma

The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1894-05-31

There is much difference of opinion as to
| the exact spot where the crossing was made.
At the time it occurred it was regarded as
grand event It's consequences were tre-
mendous. All things considered, it is quite
| absurd to attempt to rob the incident of the
| miraculous element. Waters aoere divided
stood up, on either side of an immense path
way, as if CONCEALED for the time seeming
great walls of crystal after the Israelites
had passed over and tile Egyptians were in
the very midst of the strange highway, ali of
a sudden the walls of water broke and over
whelmed the enemies of Israel.
Suggestions.
1. Leaders must be brave men. Moses had
his first trial with the Israelites when at Pr
hahiroth. He proved calm, self-possessed,
undaunted. He had more to lose than the
rest. If captured he would have been ex-
ecuted, while the people would at most have
been returned to slavery. How many stand
ready at such an hour as that through which
| the Israelites passed to cry out, just as we
said. We knew it would be SO. Yes, we
told you 80 before we started" Think of
100000 of indignant, maddened people de-
| nouncing you! That was the position of
Moses.
Men, women and children were complain
ing, and indeed frantic.
2. 1t is vain to try to pursue, persecute,
injure Gods people. "The Lord ighteth
| for them." He can put a cloud OF darkness
| between them and their enemies. He COM
! mands the thunder and hurls the lightning.
The very waves of the sea wait his beckon.
Men cannot match God.
3. Sinners will take advantage of any diff
culties in which they find Christians.

DIED OF THIRST.
Terrible Suffering by Prospectors Cross
ing the Desert.

Terrible Suffering by Prospectors Cross
ing the Desert.
SAN DIEGO, October 6.-Jose Garcia, q
peddler, who has just returned from the
Cocopah country with Quirino Cosilio, a
halt-breed, and Fred Gotta, q Mexican,
tells Of the finding on the desert below
the national boundary of the body OF an
American who had died Of thirst. There
were no means of identifying the re-
mains, save that contained in the cloth
ing and piece of an envelope or paper
sack addressed to "James Moore, pay
master A. T. and S. F., Topeka, Kan, -"
a common clasp purse, which held this
paper, and the part of greenback in it.
The boot was about No. 6, and the man
did not appear to have been large. The
party was three days without water, suf-
fering untold hardship, but afterward
afforded relief to Margarita Angulo and
Felipe Moseno, two Mexicans, and an
American, supposed to have been Fred
Wasson of this city. Angulo was insane
from thirst, but all recovered. On the
return trip the trail of another wanderer
was discovered, and certain circum-
stances led the party to believe that he
had fallen victim to the desert, as the
lowering vultures and coyotes bowling
up the canyon among the hills afforded
good grounds for the suspicion. Much
suffering is reported on the desert by re-
turning prospectors. The water is poor,
and there is but little of it.

JAPANESE WAR SONGS.


They All Breathe Of Spiritual Bitter
ness Toward China.
WASHINGTON, October 6.-The officials
OF the Japanese legation have received a
budget of news and gossip by the last
mail from Japan. The spirit of the peo-
pie is shown in the war songs sung by
the Japanese troops as they push toward
Peking. The songs were officially COM
piled by Prince Arisugawa. They breathe
great bitterness against China, and de-
clare that now is the time to plant the
flag of the Rising Sun on the walls of
Peking and TO illuminate its darkness.
Each verse OF the song begins and ends
with "Strike and chastise China" Va
rious verses describe the Chinese as ar
rogant and insolent, with an army Of
cowards." The Chinese troops war
songs say of the Japanese:
"They are an undisciplined rabble,
and however fine their arms look, they
are useless, like fine ladies in pictures"
The Japanese Minister of Finance has
officially made announcement that the
war win not be allowed to interrupt the
internal improvement of Japan. Con-
sequently railway construction is to pro-
ceed with the same vigor as in peaceful
times. The Minister has arranged SO
that the treasury shall keep separate ac-
counts of war expenses and those for in
ternal Improvements in order that the
former may not overshadow the latter.
The late customs-house reports in Japan
show that her trade with the United
States is greater than with any other
power. The total trade last year was
about 4, ,00O, 900 yen. British trade, which
comes second, is SOC, 600 yen.
The Japanese people and press are re-
torting to the Chinese Emperor's proc
lamation directing that the Japanese
"wo ien," meaning pigmies, should be
driven to their lairs. The Chinese are
being called "chau chau, meaning pueF-
ility; "toupi kau," meaning pig-tailed
vagabonds. China is referred to as
mei-so-kuku," the country in which
the people cannot make up their minds.
The Japanese papers are already print
ing cuts showing the rout of the Chinese
on land and sea.

Flrst Cargo OF the season.

TACOMA, October 4.-The ship City Of
Athens sailed last night for the United
Kingdom with the first cargo Of new
wheat shipped from this port. It
amounted to 1900 tons. Four larger
ships have arrived to load wheat in char
ter for Balfour, Guthrie d Co. and Sib-
son 4 Kerr. They are the Androsa, Cap
tain York, Glencova and Windsor Park.
The Androsa arrived yesterday. Captain
Lockhart reports that August 8, 240
miles southeast of Shanghai, the ship
encountered terrific gale, which lasted
thirty hours. For twelve hours it as
sumed the proportions OF typhoon.
Two ships we're dismasted near the An
drosa, and she met three steamers dis
abled by the storm. The Androsa lost a
lower mainsail, but suffered no other
casualty.

ADVERTISING RATES.
FREIGHT RATES RAISED.
The Expected Advance VIII Take Place
October 30.

PORTLAND, October 8. - Press dis
patches received yesterday confirm the
statement already made that commodity
rates from the East are to be raised in
the near future. The following is the
text Of dispatch sent out from Omaha:
"The Missouri river roads to-day an
nounced that after October 20 all freight
rates to Portland and adjacent points
will be advanced to % per cent. This
10 discrimination in favor Of San Fran
cisco, though the object is a mystery"
Local freight men had not last even
ing received official notification of the
proposed advance, but feel satisfied that
the change will be made. The following
dispatch was received from San Fran
cisco last night:
Inquiry among the local railway
agents resulted in the confirmation of
the statement contained in dispatch
from Omaha to-day, which announced
that after October 20 all freight rates to
Portland and adjacent points would be
advanced to 26 per cent. All OF them
united, however, in disagreeing with the
proposition that the raise in freight rates
had been ordered with the intention of
discriminating against Portland"
" 1t is simply case" as one of the
railroad men remarked, "of an attempt
to get fair pay for the work done. Here
tofore it has 30 happened that Portland
has had very low rates, and these in spite
of the fact that she had not those adj
vantages in the way OF possible sea COM
Detition in fraiOhfa tn and from tho Eoet
which should tend to keep rates down.
It has now been agreed by the companies
that something like fair profit should
be exacted on business which has here
tofore been done practically for nothing"

ALASKA'S WANTS.
She Will Ask Congress to Make
Certain Changes.
TO SECURE THEIR PROPERTY

Laws Are Badly Needed which VIII
Establish Closer Relations Between
Alaska and the states--They Want y
Delegate in Congress.
WASHINGTON, October 6.--An attempt
Is TO be made during the coming session
OF Congress to enact legislation for the
better governing OF Alaska. Persons
who have gone to that Territory and
made investments are anxious to have
laws which will make secure property,
and which will also establish closer COM
mercial relations between the Territory
and the United States. Ithas been sug-
gested that one OF the first steps toward
bringing Alaska into closer communica-
tion with the United States and making
1t more useful TO the government would
be to reorganize the Territory as others
have been organized and send a delegate
TO Congress to represent it, who will
point out the needs OF the people to the
legislators. This idea is combatted by
thOoc WhO GtbAAn ti&t Nv PiCoCnb tucIC
are enough white people there to consti-
tute representative government, and
that the native population has not at
tanned degree OF intelligence to entitle
II to participate in government affairs.
Because OF lack Of legislation the de-
velopment Of Alaska mines, said to be
very rich, is retarded. Most of the mines
are Of character that they require a
great deal Of machinery to operate them,
and considerable capital must be in
vested before any results can be obtained.
1t is possible that during the short ses-
sion OF Congress there will be no time
for passing adequate laws for the gov
ernment OF the Northwest Territory, yet
men who have been pushing the West
for years are determined that something
must be done for Alaska, and her inter-
ests will be pressed upon Congress in the
short session. Even II no action is taken
1t is expected that the way may be
opened for something substantial in the
next Congress. :

ANTI-FoRErGN FEELING.
SECRECY OF WAR.
Japanese ArsenaIs Are Busy, But Are
Telling No Secrets.

SAN Francisco, October 8. = H. E.
Keller of Philadelphia has arrived from
Toxic, Yokohama, Kobe and other Jap
anese points, where he has been for three
months. "The arsenal at Toxic" he
said, sis as busy as it can be, and no
body is allowed there. Strict secrecy is
preserved. / dined with Iwasaka, the
richest man in Japan, who recently gave
5000, 600 yen or $3.50, 900 to aid the war,
and became quite intimate with him,
but he told me he could not, acting in ac-
cordance with the policy of the Japanese,
give any facts about the war. Every
where found the same secrecy observed.
l met frequently Count Matsugeta, the
James G. Blaine of Japan and ex-Prime
Minister, and his son, with whom
graduated at college. Both told me the
policy was to give nothing out that could
give the Chinese an insight into what
was being done. Going from Hong Kong
to Shanghai, met four English gunners
who had been engaged for a Chinese war
ship at $l00 q month and five years pay
to their families if killed. An English
Captain was with them, who was to re-
ceive much greater pay. The Chinese
are engaging all the Englishmen fighters
they can, and they are paying them big
sums. In Japan it is believed to be the
intention to move Immediately on Pc
king and capture it before winter sets in.
The Japanese see they have got to do it
quickly, or it will be much harder later"

The Commissioner Of Railroads ON Cover
ment Ownership.
WASHINGTON, October 3. nv General
Wade Hampton, Commissioner Of Rail-
roads, was at his desk to-day for the fret
time in several weeks, having returned
from an extended trip over the govern
ment roads which are under his super
vision. The Commissioner says he en-
countered in California great deal of
clamor for government control of not
only the Union and Central Pacific roads,
but of all the roads. Both of these propo-
sitions are reopposed by the Commissioner,
who will submit his report to the Secre-
tary of the Interior November l.
sin the first place." he said, "the
bonds on these roads are not due until
1898, and the government cannot fore
close until that time. If the government
should foreclose, it, having only the sec
ond mortgage, would be compelled to
pay the first mortgage. amounting to
many millions. A government such as
ours cannot operate railroads. In auto
cratic governments it is possible, but not
in this. The demand for foreclosure of
the Pacific road does not come from the
best-informed people Of the Pacific Coast,
although it has got to be very popular
movement In the West"

THE KA1sEH,s VIEWS.
what He Thinks That the Modern Bat
tie Ship Should BE.

LONDON, October Edward Reed, M
r., In an interview to-day gave an out
line OF conversation which he recently
had with the Emperor Of Germany on
the subject Of war between China and
Japan. Mr.. Reed said:
"The Emperor expressed clear and
pronounced views on the situation, which
have been remarkably fulfilled through
the results at Yalu. His Majesty recog-
nized the value OF strong armor, and
particularly dwelt upon the efficacy OF
an armor belt reaching virtually from
stem to STERN. but he emphasized his
opinion that II was OF the utmost inn
portance that q vessel in action should
be given the greatest possible scope Of
gun fire."
The Emperor at the time OF his inter-
view with Mr.. Reed gave to that gentle
man portrait OF himself with his sig
nature indorsed on its back. Preceding
the imperial signature were these words !:
In the modern battle ship the dis
tribution Of weight necessitates a COM
promise between armor and artillery.
Give her full all-around belt, and after
that always decide in favor OF artillery"
Mr.. Reed expressed his opinion that
the Yalu battle was remarkable for its
emphasis OF the value OF speed and ar
multiplied by the quick-firing
gun.
