WILLING FOR WAR.
Deep Desire in Japan to Humiliate
China

San Francisco, Aug. 1s.-The steamer
China, which was due Monday next, ar
rived this afternoon from Hong Kong and
Yokohama, having made the passage
from the latter port in IL days and Is
hours, beating the record by about 10
hours. Among the passengers was
Admiral Skerrett There were eight
Japanese passengers on board, but not a
single Chinese, as has been the case with
the last three China steamers The
China brings advices from Yokohama to
Aug. Z.
Japanese people are stirred to their
depths by the present complication with
China, The affair absolutely engrosses
the attention of the people, high and low.
So soon as matters assumed a serious
complexion petitions began to pour into
the central staff office from country local
tiles, asking for permission to serve in the
army. Among leading signa,ories were
Gen. Shizoku, who had seen active service
on the occasion of either of the restora-
ton or of the civil war in Satsuma.
The Japan Gazette says; The whole
nation is Imbued with one spirit-to hu-
hbC CAlAos l1AEI anu lOW, IlGn anu
poor, soldiers and merchants, have but
one desire. The probable consequences
are utterly ignored. No thoughtof posi-
BILE reverses, of bloody reprisals upon the
coasts or of financial cOnfu-
sion daunts their warlike ardor.
In Japan's immense superiority they
repOse the utmost confidence Nor is the
temper of the Chinese, so far as it can be
gathered, one whit less bellicose. 1t is
mora danUarOnS haaaOSa thev admit az
first Japan may be victorious, but of the
ultimate issue they have not the
slightest doubt. Japan, with its
Slender resources of men and money"
they aver, "can be no match in the
long run for China's millions. The mag
nlJude of the preparations might well
make Japan pause if she had not already
proceeded too far to extricate herself
| without the loss of prestige. But this is
| impossible, and the two nations now
stand committed to war"
Food, in consequence of the war is ris-
ing in price. The Taotai, says the North
China Daily News has informed foreign
| consels that measures would be taken to
close Woo Sung bar. The same paper
stated that $4,000 troops have been safely
! landed in Corea. The Nan Yang
squadron is to attack the coast of Japan,
while the Foo Chow and Canton ships
are to make an attempt on
the Loo Choo islands, so that as antici-
pated the viceroy will not content him
self with operations in Corea. The China
Gazette learns that 10000 troops are
being called out for each province 1t is
also rumored that Japanese cruisers are
preparing for an attack upon Silver
island, so as TO command Yang Use and
so prevent the coming up of the 500, 900
troops ftOm Nankin.
The Ten-Tsin correspondent of the
China Gazette says: I'VE hear from
Corea, on good authority, that a great
deal of sickness prevails among the
Chinese troops and that they are hanging
themselves by dozens in despair of their
surroundings. The Japanese are also in
a pretty bad plight, great numbers having
died, and illness is still rife in their camp.
But the death rate is very much higher
among the Chinese

A VICTORY FOR PASKOLA.
It Receives the Official Endorsement
Of Eminent Experts and Jury
of Representative Citizens.

The suit brought by Ohios food COM
missioner against Cincinnati drug
gist for selling Paskola on the ground
that 1t was nothing but glucose, result
ed in a great victory for Paskola and a
verdict against the state.
During the course of the trial Pro-
fessor Shaller, of the University of Gin
cinnati, testified that Paskola was not
glucose, and even If it was, 1t would
be harmless. He also bore witness to
its activity as digestive agent.
Professor William Dickore, of the
Miami college, testified to the same
facts. So did Professor Schmidt the
chemist of the board of health; Profess
sor William Hoffman and others.
A practical test was made in court,
showing the digestive action of Pas
kola on eggs and meats of various
kinds, whereas glucose under precisely
the same conditions produced no effect
whatever.
This test but confirmed the experts
statements that proved Paskola to be
Of great value in indigestion and vast
ing diseases.
This verdict disposes of the malicious
attack that has been made against Pas
kola by interested rivals, and suits have
now beea brought against the proprie-
tors of a well known emulsion of cod
liver oil for having given wide circula-
ton to q false formula and other mis-
representations regarding it.
The animus Of this attack will be the
better understood when 1t is stated that
Paskola is being largely used in the
place of cod liver oil.
