orient and TO the world at Large.
The capture of Port Arthur, the Chinese
Gibraltar, by the Japenese forces, is again
reported, this time with such statement of
details that the story is generally accred-
tied. The result was accomplished en-
tirely by land forces. 1t is thought the
war will now be brought quickly to a close
The Japanese have demonstrated their su-
periOrty in every branch of warfare.
The Chinese troops have been outgener-
aled and beaten in the open field i'm several
battles. The Chinese feet has been out
manouvered and outfought in general en-
gagement and driven into harbors where
1t was pOwerless for coast defence. FL
nally has folio Ted the successful invest
ment bombardment and capture of the
strongest naval arsenal in Northern China,
defended 10y formidable garrison and pro-
| tected by krupp guns, submarine mines
and torpedo stations. So brilliant an
achleyem mt ought to satisfy japanese am-
bition, and to predispose the government
to grant peace to China on honorable
| terms, with ample financial iudemnities
and guarantees of COrean independence.
/ but without territorial cOnquests
This eastern war is one of the supreme
/ events OF the century, with far reaching
/ trend of consequences and tendencies
| stretching far into the future H.. est4b-
! fishes Japan in relations of unchallenged
/ supremacy in the Yellow sea. and opens

islands occupy III Eastern Asia q position
similar to that of the British isles i'm West
ern Europe, and with the prestige which
/ Will be developed from their energy, mari
time skill and military valor in the present
war, great destiny as a commercial nation
now seems TO be in reserve for them.
China, on the other baud, has received
a crushing and humiiatiug defeat which
may have revolutionary tendencies ID
may be premature to forecast the dIssou-
ton OF the vast empire which. with its

No Colored Member.
Boston Herald,

Boston Herald,
1t is said that there is to be no
colored man in the next national
house of representatives. There is
but one in the present house from
South CarolinaD who was defeated.
A colored man is to contest a seat
from North Carolina, however.
There seems to be little disposition
to nominate colored men among
the southern republicans. There
have been two congresses previous
ly of which there was no colored
member. 1t is noted Of North
Carolina, which has been heavily
carried in its legislature against
the democrats, that there will be
fewer colored members Of that
body than in any year since the
war, none being chosen in the
state senate, and but three out OF

The Emperor of Germany does
not intend to rest contended with
the success Of his song. He is
turning his attention to operate
composition, and is busily study
ing the music Of Wagner before
bringing out a one-act opera. AL
ready a member of his family has
won fame as a composer. Prince
Louis Ferdinand OF Prussia, who
died in 1906, studied under Dus.
SEX, and composed a number Of
works which were held in high
esteem. The Prince was also a
splendid pianist. Another royal
musician, the Archduke Rudolph
Of Austria, was pupil OF Beetho-
ven, whose style he initiated as
we'll as he could, but royal birth
did not ensure regal talent, and
his compositions were not so good
as those of his Prussian rival.

LONDON MUD ANALYZED.
Chemists Can Tell What Portion OF
the City Samples Come From.

Chemists Can Tell What Portion OF
the City Samples Come From.
An ingenious person has been
analysing samples Of London mud.
His researches have shown some
curious results. He found the
mud shows distinct traces Of Lon
don's life according to the part of
the town it comes from. In the
city, for instance, there are found
traces of gold and silver, from the
wear and tear of the coinage, and
also a good deal of animal matter,
especially bones, no doubt from the
meat eaten. In poverty stricken
districts there are no traces Of gold
or silver and very little Of animal
refuse. but the vegetable refuse be-
comes considerable, clearly point
ing to the scarcity OF money and Of
meat among the inhabitants Of
those parts.
The annual cost Of repairing the
silver coinage is 1000, which
represents six tons Of silxer scat
tered over the surface of the king
dom every year, or esq Of waste
each day. The waste from the gold
coinage amounts to about ZIG
daily, or the 100000 pounds of
bread baked in London daily is is
computed that one and three-quar-
ters millions (half and ounce for
each pound) are thrown away es
waste. 1t is also said that 600
worth of vinegar, flOO worth OF
sugar, ESQ Of salt, f3OO OF gas and
ElO0 of mustard are wasted daily
in London.
