What n Jnpanese Triumph Would

From the London Spectator

From the London Spectator
Assume a complete Japanese victory, with
a peace dictated to the Chinese, and what
will be its result? AS We judge, a change
in the relatitn of Europe to Asia which
may affect the whole future of the world
The feebleness of Asia is born in great part
of self-distrust, and that self-distrust will
have received in a Japanese revival an i'm
mense, perhaps a destructive, shock. An
Asiatic power will have shown itself capa-
in war, of armng itself up to the Euro
lean point and of working it's army and
fleet as efficiently as those of any European
state. Why should that. Asiatic power &C
quiesce any longer In submissiveness agree
to capitulations, bear laws directed against
Its subjects or abstain from taking any
territories it wishes for? For example
merely to make the argument more con-
crete, II Japan is the power some of her
admirers suggest, she could take the Phil
ippines away from Spain with the greatest
ease, and turn that magnificent group
which the Spaniards only neglect into n
new island kingdom. Her example would
be initiated. we may rely on it, by China.
by Siam, by native states in India like Ne
raul and Hyderabad, and, above all. by
Turkey, though doubtless In a different
way. They would copy only the army or
ganization of Japan, the drilling of men

artillery, the thoroughness Of preparation

certain Englishman was EMPLOYED as

the government to give the properties back

Ramierez Company for $4,000, and after

Upon the success of these purchases the
syndicate transferred its operations to Lon

eight stock companies with an aggregate
capital of s2S,5S7, 900, the shares being main
ly held by the members of the combination.
The splendid showing of profits which they
made enabled them to put the stock of these
companies on the market at high rate,
Notwithstanding the enormous figures at
which they were capitalized, and the prices
have been maintained. In addition to these
companies with substantial basis, several
purely speculative concerns have been or

AT present the nitrate trade of Chile is
largely a monopoly controlled by British
capitalists who have crowded out people en-

A Hundred Million Dollar Swfndle

Men who are acquainted with the pecu-

during the early days of Californian gold
mining have many a tale to tell of ..saIted',

recent discovery OF gold in the TransvaaI

with America in producing big things, holds
now the record for unprecedented mining
swindles. The News van der Dag Am
sterdam, relates the following:
"A few months ago the news came from
Tasmania that hill had been discovered
which consisted almost entirely of rich
gold quartz. n thorough Investigation
was made. and ASA great quantity of rich

which issued a prospectus in which the
value of the mountain was put down at
twenty million pounds. The shares found a

experienced old prospectors, nevertheless
had their doubts. and they petitioned the
government to cause another investiga ton
of Mount Huxley. The government geolo-
gist, Montgomery, and the inspector of
mines, a gentleman named Harrison were
sent to the spot, and now a most gigantic
swindle came to light. Barker had hired
miners and with their assistance sailed
the hill in about eighty places using
quartz, ore, and even nuggets to do the lob
In the places where no Sailing had taken

now busies itself with Mr. Barker and his

Who Would Oppose Removal.

There are now fewer men in Congress
that practice before the Supreme Court
than formerly, but those who do conduct
such practice would very vigorously op-
pose the removal of the court to any dis
lance. In the days of Matt Carpenter
Thurman. Conkiing and Edmunds there
was a great deal of practice by Congress
men before the Supreme bar. The men
kamed used to make many arguments and
conduct a great deal of business before the
Supreme Court. Now. though, a large ma
jority of the men in both houses are law
yers, but few of them have any practice in
the Supreme Court. Sherman is a MEM
Der of that bar, but does little or no bust
ness there. Gray, Davis, Cockrell and two
or three others are all the Senators who
have any Supreme Court practice. Harris
used to have a great deal, but now has
dropped 1t almost altogether. Washburn
has case there occasionally. Evarts used
to do business before the court quite fire.
Quently. In the House at present there
are but two or three members with any

Favor the Art Gallery.

The art gallery building is admirably sit
uated for the court purposes, however, and
1t Is understood that the justices would be
glad to move there. 1t is questionable,
when 1t comes to the point, whether the
House and Senate will agree to permit the
Supreme Court to go out of the Capitol
building. The place it occupies lies north
of the rotunda on either side of the main
corridor leading from the House into the
Senate, and it is very convenient for men,
bers of the two houses who practice to con-
duct cases without seriously neglecting
their work IN Congress. They can leave
either house of Congress for few minutes
and attend to their law cases without leav-
ing the building. This is a convenience which
they will be reluctant to sacrifice Some
years ago this motive was very powerful In
retaining the court where ii is, though the
justices were complaining of cramped quar-
tiers and desired new building to be erect
ed east of the Capitol near the new library
building.

New Quarters Must BE Acceptable to
the Court.

1t is perfectly true ttat while the court
has no title to the poss ession which it en-
joys-or would enjoy If the quarters
were more comfortable--it canrot be
reIco. ed to another buildins unless a nia-
jority of the nine justices dcciie in favor of
the removal. Should Congress provide new
quarters for the court they would have to
be acceptable to the court. Congress could
not say, I'VE have these quarters for you;
move into them" If the change were rot
satisfactory the court would stay just
where it is, and Congress could not help it.
The mere fact that Congress desires the
removal will count for nothing. One of the
justices, in speaking of their situation there,
said that, ordinarily, possession was nine
points of law. but in this case it was ten.
When the Butler building was purchased it
was suggested as good plan to remove the
Supreme Court to that place and to convert
the oil Senate chamber, consulting room
and three office rooms into committee quar-
tiers. At the suggestion of the committee
on rules the nine justices visited the But
Ter building, made a casual survey of its ar
rangem ent, and then came back to continue
their sessions in the old court room with
out even so much as expressing an opinion
as to the desirability of the new purchase
for court purposes. The same suggestion
was riade as to the Maitby building and
the reply to this was an inquiry as to how
the court could be got over there.
