To Consul-GeneraI Shimamura of
Japan.
A JOLLY GOOD TINE ALL ROUND.
Champagne and Dainties---Speeches
Made and TOasts Drank---Free
From Politics---The Advancement
of Japanese--Methods and Manners.

Sans SOuci was a picture of Ori-
entalism last night when Consul
General Shimamura was rendered
a reception by. fifty prominent
Japanese merchants. The lawn was
artistically decorated with Japan
ese lanterns. The dining-room was
a reproduction of a room in a
Japanese mansion.
Mr.. Ozaki, president of the
Japanese Union, made the address
of welcome to the new consul
general. Mr.. Shimamura was
called upon and responded by
short speech, in which he thanked
those present for the testimonial of
their good fellowship in inviting
him to dine with them so soon
after his arrival. He felt that their
interests had been we'll looked after
by his predecessors, and that there
was nothing left for him but to
continue in the good way in which
they had started. He was not sur
prised at the progress the japanese
had made here, because it was
characteristic of the race. His
Government had spent a vdet
amount of money in educating the
young men of Japan in the modern
arts and sciences. 1t had sent
them to the four corners of the
globe to learn the most modern
methods of those branches which
would assist them while at peace or
war. The benefits of such teach
ings have been made manifest dur
ing the past ten years. Japan
which, but a few years ago, was
considered weakling in the world
of commerce is today numbered
among the strong, and its products
will be found in every market in
the universe. Progress and Peace
are the watchwords of Japan, and
while you are citizens of that
country, of which you may
we'll feel proud, keep those two
words ever before you. You are to
progress in your business methods
and in the arts and sciences. Do
not feel that because our navy is
reckoned with the great ones that
it was built for the purpose of levy
ing war on weaker or stronger ma
tiOns. 1t was built to preserve
peace. The education of the Japan
csc places the people of that nation
in a position where they will COM
mand respect rather than court dis
pleasure or ridicule. Your actions
here, [ am satisfied, have proven
that, and I am sure the advance
ment in knowledge that our people
have made will aid us materially in
still further advancing until we
reach the topmost round in the
commercial ladder. l thank you,
gentlemen, for the kind reception
you have given me-"
The banquet was an elaborate
one and the toasts were numerous.
Among those present were Consul
General Shimamura, ex-Consul
Shimizu, DIR. Kozima, DIR. Uchida,
Goro Martha, J. Takemura, B. Shin
liza, G. Igarashi, J. Huga and II.
Miziina.
The festivities were over at nine
o'clock.

Better Have Been a Banner.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Putting up the
flag of my nation over the gates Of
the church to which belong is a
very Objectionable thing to me, as
it has a political and not a religi-
Gus significance. If the party, or
parties, who put it up had sub
stituted a banner of some kind in
stead it would have been better.

Ole Dokken, the Shutdown merchant,
wrote to Congressman McCleary, who
has interested himself in the matter.
The government has it under consid-
GRAFTON, and as such route is needed
to furnish with mail facilities section
of country now destitute of such ad-
vantages, we may look for favorable
decision soon.
Guy Mack, who won first place in
the Second district oratorical contest
at Mankato, was barred from entering
the State: contest for the reason that
his selection winning Cup" was a
defamation and not an grafton, as re-
quired by the rules governing the con-
test. This gave the place to Eugene
Kinmare, of Tracy, who had an ora
ton in the strict sense of the word.
Some one was to blame for the blum
der in the case of Mack, and the same
might be said of our talent at Man
kato. Had jamie Beecher secured
first place at Mankato he could never
have entered at st. Paul for the reason
that his selection was a reading, pure
and simple, and not an grafton. There
is nothing in the "Prince Of India" of
the oratorical character.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-A report sent
to the war depa rtment by Captain j. T.
Vanersdale of the Seventh infantry,
late acting agent at the Fort Hall
Indian reservation, on the subject of
the trouble with the Bannock Indians
has been forwarded to the secretary
of the interior. It says in part:
''Being short rationed and far
from self-supporting the Bannocks
hunt for the purpose of oh.
tanning sustenance. BY treaty they
are granted this privilege. 1t
would seem that the killing Of these
Indians under tie circumstances is
nothing more or less than murder.
Further, believe there is go wanton
slaughter of game by them, while it is
notorious fact that hundreds of ami
mails are killed by white men for moth.
ing more than heads and horns. The
Indians can hardly be expected to sub
nit to the killing of their people while
engaged in an occupation which they
think they have right to follow.
more quietly than white men would do
and failure by the government to take
proper action is apt to result in seri-
Gus loss OF life and property"

AN EXILE IN AMERICA,
Prince PAX Of corea socks safety in Thl.

country.
VICTORIA, Aug. 15.-Prince Yonho
Pax, the Corean minister Of the in
terror who fed from Seoul a month
ago to avoid arrest at the instigation
OF the queen, arrived here to-day on
the steamer Empress of Japan. He
sought an asylum in Japan, but an at
tempt was to have been made to
cause his arrest on the charge of plot
ting against the life of the queen, and
to prevent any complications he was
advised to leave The United States
he regarded as the best asylum and to
this country he has come.
Prince PAX pretended to know no
English when correspondent ap-
preached him, and later, when an in
terpreter had been provided, he did
not care to talk, merely saving: ST am
an exile from my country and am go
ing to the United States after stay of
two weeks in this country How long
l will remain in the United States /
cannot say. am unjustly forced ont
of Corea, but what: The future will
bring forth no one can say"
Prince PAX is about 40 wears cd.
small, but has an intellectual face.
This is his second exile, having re-
turned to Corea August 9, 1894, after
ten years in Japan. He is an uncle Of
the king OF Corea and has long been
an aggressive reform .leader. For a
time after his return frorn exile he
was prime minister and worked with
the queen of Corea, who is all power
full. Then. some of his progressive
ideas offended her and his arrest was
ordered, with every prospect of the
axe for him. He managed to escape
in disguise.

AN Enormous Quantity of Water Will Ee
Diverted From Lake Michigan.
NEW YORK, Aug. Is Mr. Frank w.
Hawley has just returned from Chica-
go, where he has been for the past few
weeks examining the drainage canal
in an attempt to determine whether
the construction of this Improvement
is likely to lower the waters of the
Great Lakes, and whether also it is
likely appreciably to divert traffic from
the East down the Mississippi. His
report was that there can be no uues-
tlon that an enormous quantity of
water will be taken from Lake Michi-
gan for the filling of the canal. The
best estimates that he could obtain
were that this volume will be con.
stantly equal to one.third that con-
tanned in the Mississippi river above
the mouth of the Missouri or three
times of that of the Ohio river.
In Chicago it is looked upon as GER
tainty that considerabl lake com
merce will seek the sea through the
Mississippi valley as soon as this canal
is completed. On the other hand, Mr..
Hawley says that in the West it is
thought that the canal would bring
traffic to the Erie as we'll as take It
away and that new and distant locali-
ties in the West would use the canal
as an ecOnc'->'""l -c,,ta ~ the East
