JAPAN AND aAWAIi.

A correspondent OF the Washington
Star, who resides in Hawaii, intinntes
that Japan may be so set up with the
success of her arms in the war with
China that policy may be developed
by that country III reference to the
Hawaiian Islands, which may lead to
the attempt to bring the islands under
Japanese domination.
The correspondent says that the
wonderful skill. organization and at.
tainment in the hig her arts of civilian
ton which have been SO conspicuously
demonstrated by the Japanese nation
IN their present war excites the highest
admiration. He thinks, however, that
while this evidence Of their progress
and SUCCESS in adopting modern civil.
cation is most gratifying and hopeful,
and one must rejoice to see such q
nation range itself on the side OF civil.
cation and enlightenment, vet every
victory OF Japan makes her "a more
serrible menace to little, unprotected
Hawaii.
Lhe writer cites the fact that Japan
is not only powerful and formidable
Ioroe In the Pacific, but that she is one
OF the nearest to Hawaii. Continuing.
lie says: "TSenty five thousand OF her
people are already here among lis, a
restless, determined, shiity, excitsble
class. They constitute In numbers one
fourth of our population. Unless pre-.
vented by other powers it would be
simple matter for Japan to take posses.
sion of Hawaii. Our only security
against such all event lies in protection
from either the United States or Great
Britain. The latter power would gladly
aesume the task of protectiug-and
ownlng-this outpost of civilization.
lying on the direct road between her
great colonies. She defers, however
to thu stronger claims of the United
States"
Much OF. the above is true, but the
correspondent need apprehend no dan
ger from Japan domination in the
Hawaiian Islands. as nothing of the
kind will be permitted. Should such
be attempted Uncle Sam will be heard
eroa on the snbject.

GREENHUT MAY BE PUNISHED.
Pat Names ON the Trust Receiver.
ship Petition without Authority.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-Judge Grosscup to-day
removed the names Of Heinscheimer and
Wormser. Of New York, from the list of
compliments In the original Whisky Trust
receivership petition. and entered a rule on
President Greenhut to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt of
court In afixing the names to the petition
without authority. A large number of afii-
davits were read in support of the claim of
the two men that their names were used
without their consent or the consent of their
employer. At the conclusion of the argu-
ments the court ordered the names removed
rule returnable Feb. IS.
In discussing the matter before the court,
attorney Levi Mayer called the conduct of
Greenhut a mosaic of duplicity," and ex-
Judge Moran characterized Greenhut's con-
contempt. of court" Proceedings began on
a motion OF Julian A. Mack, attorney for
Heinscheimer and Wormser, to withdraw
the names from the bill. Heinscheimer's
affidavit said that he owned no stock in the
trust, and the use of his name was without
his authority, and ever since he had heard
or the unwarranted use Of his name he had
been seeking to have Ii withdrawn. He had
written to Runnells & Perry. attorneys for
the applications setting forth the facts and
demanding that his name be withdrawn. His
name was on record as a stockholder, but
own any of the stock so recorded at the
time the bill was presented to the court.
At the request of Goodhart & Co., of which
he Is a member, he had gone to the office
or the Central Trust Company, of New
York. on Jan. 20 to ascertain whether his
name was on record as a holder of stock,
and If Sydney l.. Wormser was so recorded.
He found the record. and so reported to
Mr.. Goodhart. sydney L.. Wormser pre-
sented an affidavit declaring that he had
not authorized the use of the names as al
legged by Greenhut. After the reading of
other aftidavits the court ordered the names
removed from the list of complainants and
entered the contempt rule.

HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE
UNION STATION At ST. JOSEPH, MO-,
DESTROYED By FLAMES.
Many Pouches of Mail and Hundreds
of Trunks Observation-Disclosures VIII
Lose Over 800, 900.

81 JOSEPH, Mo-, Feb. 9.-The Union
Station, which was used 10y all the railways
entering the city, was laid in ruins by fire
tonight. The loss will reach $400, 900. The
fire was discovered at $50 in the United
States express department of the station.
At first the blaze was SO small it was
supposed it was not necessary to call out
the department, but in this case the delay
was fatal. Tho flames worked their way
through the floor. into the Union Depot
Hotel on the floors above, and in an hour
the structure was. a mass of ruins. The
hotel. which occupied the two upper stories
and the south end of the structure. was
crowded with guests, and a number of them
had narrow escapes, Major j. b. Laughlin,
who conducted the hotel. loses So, O0O. The
Union Station was completed and opened
May 1, 1882, and cost $4,000 The total
amount of insurance is $40, 600. The. guests
at the hotel lost $4,000.
The real loss must remain a matter of
conjecture for some time, that suffered by
the railway and express companies on bag
gage. etc. being difficult to estimate. The
railroads entering the depot and who are
the losers are: The Hannibal & ST. Joe,
the Missouri Pacific, the ST. Joseph &
Grand Island. theLKansas City. st. Joseph
& Council Bluffs the st. Joseph. & Des
Moines, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
the Burlington s. Missouri River the Union
Pacific and the Atehison Topeka & Santa Fe.
Many pouches of mail were also consumed,
thus greatly adding to the loss. Among
the hundreds of trunk burned were all of
those belonging to the Lewis Morrison Faust
theatrical company, containing valuable
dresses and stage paraphernalia. But few
of the guests saved any of their personal
effects.

INDIANA's PROPOSED CANAL.
Captain Stansbury's Route Recom-
mended by Major Gillespie.

mended by Major Gillespie.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The resolutions
introduced by Mr.. Turpie in the Senate,
ana Mr.. Cooper III, the House, providing for
the appointment of q commission, under
the direction of the Secretary of War, to
make preliminary survey and submit plans
and stimate for the construction of a ship
canal to connect the south end of Lake
Michigan with the Wabash river, recites
that partial surveys have been made and
that the project has been recognized as a
work of great national Improvement as far
back as the administration of Andrew Jack
son, when Lewis Cass, Secretary of the
War Department, gave the matter his at
tention. Again, in 1875, Major Gillespie, of
the corps of engineers, made a survey and
partial examination and pronounced the pro-
lect feasible. Since then no further action
has been taken, and the resolution calls
for a commission of five members, two. of
whom shall be citizens of Indiana, and at
least one engineer of the army. This COM
mission is to make a thorough examination
and report on the best practicable route
and all other details.
Since the resolution was submitted attan-
ton has been called to the last survey and
report, of Major Gillespie. who mentions
several routes to reach the Wabash. from
Lake Michigan, but, after making his ex-
hminations, as the best route
that selected by Captain Stansbury in 1881,
when he reported to General Cass. The
most trouble that Major Gillespie finds is
IN getting around the Kankakee river, the
water OF which is needed by the Illinois
river. The Kankakee river runs parallel
with the south end of Lake Michigan, and
y II is cut in two the water supply of the
Illinois river would be seriously endan-
gered. In getting around the Kankakee
Major Gillespie started his canal at Mich
igan, City, Ind, and carried 1T east of the
plains plenty of water could be Obtained
Al That way TO supply the canal.

how he had fallen into bad company she
shed tears and insisted upon his being

and he consented 10 be led to the baby.
Then Mrs. Bell. with one hand stroking his
handsome head, and the other resting on
the baby, gave him a gentle but firm eur,

clasped around his neck, assisted. In the
end she took him to the Kitchen and gave
him all the milk there was IN the mouse.
This was a luxury which he only enjoyed
on great occasions, such as his or her
birthday, Christmas and SO on. After that
she took him to the lake and urged him to

he was again appreciated and at his post
of honor. He did not leave the house
again. But it was many months before
he really loved the baby. He bore with
1t as something beyond his powers TO avert,
and the family learned 1t was best to show

months old it had no more loving cham

THE DOG WAS JEALOUS.
Sorrow of a Family Pet That Saw
Himself Supplanted by the Baby.

KANSAS City star.
Mr.. John G.. Bel was the owner of a
large, reddish-yellow dog, half Newfound-
land and half St. Bernard, that, with all
his aristocratic blood and bearing, bore the
unpretentious pseudonym of Mike.
He was known for his gentleness and rare
intelligence. Every morning he trotted to
the butchers with a basket in his mouth
which contained the written order for the
days supply of meat. He returned with
the basket, which now held two packages,
one containing meat for the family and
one for himself. Aftef setting the basket
gravely down at the cooks feet he picked
out his portion, and went to a certain spot
In the yard, where he ate it.
After this breakfast came his dessert.
His owner, MIR. Bells little daughter Annie,
just the age of the dog. was allowed one
stick of molasses candy each day. She
was in the habit of making it last as long
as Observation-Disclosures sweets long drawn

Mike, for answer, gently pushed the baby
