viii he q Naval War.

LONDON. July 30-The Pail Mall Ga
zette publishes an interview with "A gov
eminent official who spent many years
in Japan. He expresses the opinion that
the war between China and Japan would
be eventually naval war, and predicted
that the side holding the chief posts of
Corea, Gensan. Port Lazarof, Fusan and
Chemulpo, would control the country. Ii
Japan succeeded in sweeping the Chinese
out of those waters she would win the
key to the whole situation. 1t will he i'm
possible for China to send troops over
land and once the Japanese obtain posses
sion of Corea they will be able to hold it
unless Russia interferes.

INTO HE STORM.
Rough Experience Of a Cromwell
Liner III the Gnlf.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-The
Cromwell line steamship knicker-
booker arrived this morning from
New York badly battered and re-
porting the loss of two men. The
Kuickerbocker left New York last
Saturday evening in command OF
Captain Haisley and with about
sixty passengers. She got into the
very teeth of the storm and for
thirty-six hours was tossed about
like a cork by wind and wave. In
the midst of the big blow the main
mast was carried away at the
hounds. The crew was set at work
at once, and while the men were
bravely battling to clear away the
wreckage mountainous wave
dashed over the deck, and when
the ship righted herself again Sec
ond Mate O'Neil and Seaman Han
sen were gone. They had been
washed overheard and no effort
could be made to rescue them.
Much of the bulwarks of the vessel
were battered in.

A New Demand For Indemnity.


According TO the latest advices
the japanese are now on the way
to Pekin. 1t was given out some
weeks ago that they would make
that city an objective point. 1t is
probable that European precedents
will have some influence. If the
japanese ever take possession of
Pekin they will demand indem-
nifty. In 1860 the English and
French began the march from
Taku to Pekin with 5000 men.
They had very little trouble in
reaching that city. There were
one or two engagements and the
capture of the forts on the Peiho
but in two months after the expe-
dition set out it mad control of the
city of Pekin. An indemnity was
demanded and conceded by treaty
of IS, 100000.
The japanese are now OH the
way to that city with force many
times greater than the English and
French had in 1860. No doubt
the defenses of Pekin have been
greatly strengthened since they
proved to be so little hindrance
to the French and English. The
Japanese, however, know the char
acter Of these defenses.
When the English and French
demanded $S,OOO,OOO indemnity
there was nothing for the Chinese
to do but to agree to the payment.
If the japanese ever get to Pekin
it can hardly be supposed that
they will demand less In the way
of damages than was demanded by
the English and French thirty-four
years ago.-S. F. Call, Oct. ..

Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS OLE
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.)

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of its former
records by closing the 125
hours grinding with an output
of 3004 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
THE three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company.
And by its use the eXtrac-
ton has been increased from
3 per cent. to D per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being IS
to IS per cent, according to
quality.
i continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part of it
being hard ratoonS.
The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention.
WPlans and specifications
of these shredders may be seen
at the office of

MISTAKEN IN ONE LETTER.

he Hotel Man Telegraphed for Cots
and Got q Consignment Of Cats.
Will johnson, who was in charge of
the Hotel johnson during the absence
of the proprietor, E. L. johnson, who
was at Atlantic City, says theWas hing-
ton Post, received a dispatch from the
latter which read:
ssShip forty cats at once.'
Mr.. johnson was puzzled. He could
not imagine what his relative could
want with cats at Atlantic City, so he
consulted with a few of his assistants,
and the only solution they could arrive
at was that rats must have been dis
covered in the Atlantic City hostelry.
They unanimously decided, however,
that it was theirs not to reason why;
theirs but to get cats and ship them to
Atlantic City without delay. A rush
was made for all the ablishments in
town which deal in pet animals, but
all the cats on hand were of the
Maltese or Angora variety, and twas
decided that they were too expensive.
As a final result the genus boy was
called into requisition, and before
nightfall there were eighteen feline
prisoners at the johnson. There
were no more in sight, though, SO it
was decided to ship the first install
ment that night and make further
consignment next day. A telegram
was sent to Mr.. johnson at Atlantic
City which announced: .
''Shipped eighteen cats; more to-
| morrow"
Mr.. johnson has a reputation for
wanting things in a hurry when he
does want them, so his assistants at
this end of the line returned well sat-
isfed that they had acquitted them
selves with great credit in a sudden
emergency. Early the next morning
another dispatch arrived which in
fused every one concerned with a de-
sire to sneak away somewhere and be-
| gin life anew. 1t read:
ITO Shanghai with your cats. It's
cots, cots, cots!''
To complete the story it is only fair
to state that Mr.. johnson writes no.
toriously bad hand, and those inter-
ested here say the operator must have
mistaken cots for cats.
