JAPANESE CAVALRY.
One Branch of the Fighting Force That
Is to BE StreMqthemed.

One Branch of the Fighting Force That
Is to Be Strengthened.
TOXIC, Feb. (per steamship Gaelic).-
The Mainichi, in discussing the question
of the cavalry of Japan, gives some inter-
esting information about the Japanese
service, as follows:
A division of the army is composed of
the following: Twelve battalions of in
fantry tone battalion of four companies of
2CO men each) three battalions of artil-
lery (six companies); one battalion of cav
airy 1.-TWO troops of about 100 troopers
each); one battalion of engineers two
companies).
Thus in Japanese corps d'armee there
are only $40 troopers-a very insignificant
body when compared with the position
held by the cavalry in the German army.
Under these circumstances the cavalry has
not been used by the japanese commanders
on services of assault, pursuit and other
duties connected with actual fighting oper-
ations; they have employed it almost en-
tirely for purposes of reconnaissance.
The only instance in the present war in
which the Cavalry formed part in the
regular plan of fighting, was at the battle
of Ping-Yang when the main column I'M
fleeing Chinese cavalry. One of the prin-
cipal reasons for the small numbers of the
japanese cavalry is the old-style fashion of
fighting in Japan, which had few move
ments necessitating the use of horse
soldiers.
BY an Imperial ordinance issued in the
twenty-third year of Meiji 189O) it was
provided that battalion of cavalry, con-
sisting of three troops, should be estab-
lished in each division. But the provision
has not been carried into effect owing to
the great cost it would entail.
To remedy the deficiency in the nations
defensive forces, the Government asked
the consent of the Diet in the present ses-
sion, to an additional grant of money to be
devoted solely to this one purpose. The
Gf 6he and the
lhe 9th, 18th and 18th fiscal years Of
Meiji. The money grant will provide for
$50 troopers.

WON BY BIOYCLISTs.
Bay City Wheelmen Receive Majority
of the Rich Trophies.

That there is more in successful bicycle
racing than the mere empty honor of cross
ing the winning line first is strikinglv IL
lustrated by the rewards which fell to the
share of the victors in the events at the re-
cent tournament at the Pavilion.
Though the value of the prizes adver-
tised in the programme might not have been

EFFECT OF A MOTHERS TEARS.
John Kearny, Young Thief, Released
From Custody.

rom
A pathetic scene was witnessed in the
City Prison last evening. o. D. Tourtelott
manager of the roller-skating rink in the
Mechanics Pavilion, had been worried by
the systematic stealing of wheels from
skates. He employed a man to watch for
the thief and last evening John Kearny, a
boy about 10 years of age, was caught in
the act. Tourtelott's suspicious had been
fixed upon Kearny and he marched him
over to the Central Police station.
The boy was afterward taken to the City
Prison and Tourtelott preferred a charge
OF petty larceny against him. The boy
was very defiant in his attitude and gave
the impression of being hardened
criminal.
Before Sergeant Shields had time to
register the charge Kearny's mother, a
hard-working, kindly looking woman, APP
peared at the prison. As soon as she saw
her boy she looked sorrowfully at him and
burst into tears. The boy also broke down
and they mingled their tears together, but
not word was spoken
The mother looked at TourteIott, whose
eyes were filled with tears, and he abruptly
said: Let the boy go. 1 won't prefer a
charge against him" The look the good
woman gave him seemed to amply reward
him Tor his forbearance. Sergeant Shields
gave the boy pertinent lecture upon his
fall from grace and mother and son left the
prison together and Tourtelott followed
looking as if he had been the criminal in
stead of the boy

SERIOUS C0L1EGE PRANKs.
Four Freshmen Kidnapped by Greek
Letter Frdternity Men.

CHAMPAGNE, H., Feb. 24-J. E. Rhine
hart, Frank Twineman, Walter Bum and
Young Shamel, the university freshmen
who were kidnapped and spirited away
yesterday morning by number of the
Greek letter fraternity men, have all either
been rescued or voluntarily brought back
to their friends.
The kidnapping has caused more excite
ment than anything which has occurred
here for years. All day Saturday and last
night the college friends of Rhinehart and
his companions secured the surrounding
country in search of them. All were
finally rounded up, Rhinehart, the last
man in, being landed by his captors at his
lodgings at o'clock this morning, some
what exhausted from the nervous strain
and anxiety, but uninjured.
The manner in which he and his COM
panions were seized, blindfolded, tied
hand and foot, thrown into carriage,
driven five miles out into the country and
held captive in an empty farm house for
nearly fifteen hours makes a highly inter
esting story. The freshmen's social last
night which the kidnapping was intended
to have broken up was, however, a success.

THEY WERE NOT CRUEL.
But Their Old Horse Occasioned Much
INDIGNATION.

Yesterday two well-dressed men rode in
buggy on the main road of Golden Gate
Park, and following behind them was a
sorry-looking specimen of the equine fam
lily that looked as if it had been turned out
to die. One of the two men was leading
the poor creature by a rope, and it was
spitiful to see it hobble along, each step APP
parently racking it with pain.
People on the road gazed, and cried,
Shame" One approached those in the
buggy, and asked if they were bereft of
feeling for poor brute. Another said
that they ought to be arrested, and added
that he had good mind to take the ami
mai away from them and send it to the
Police Station.
Il wish you would" said the one who
was leading the animal
They drove on a little further when they
were met by man who declared that as a
citizen, he arrested them for cruelty, and
was about to take charge of them when
the one who was driving announced that
his name was Holbrook, that he was sec
rotary OF the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, and that his COM
panlon was Officer Hooper, who is specially
detailed to arrest those who are cruel to
animals.
The animal, old, worn out and no longer
mt for service, had been turned out by the
owner. Some boys found, rode it to the
park and were abusing it when the officers
came along and took charge OF it. They
finally took 1t to the police station, from
which place it was removed to the "oone
yard" where 1t was killed

PLYMOUTH, Feb. 24.-The wife of an Off
Ger who is a mem Der of the British expedi-

ceived telegram from her husband stating
that the expedition has had big fight

that the British force was all right, from
which it is supposed that large naval

severe fighting with the natives.
A later dispatch states that Major Sir

petition were both severely wounded
The natives, who were armed with Gatling
guns, were repulsed.

BATTLING FOR CHURCH STREET.
Property Owners to Besiege the Super
visors in a Solid Body.

A large meeting of Church-street prop
erty-owners was held yesterday afternoon
at Duvenick's Hall for the purpose of
hearing the reports of the committees ap-
pointed to circulate petitions protesting
against granting franchise to the Market
street Railroad Company on Church
street. Charles Meyers acted as chairman
of the meeting. About hundred new
names were added to the list.
Charles Haggerty stated that there
would have been many more signers, but
the people were almost universally dis
a contest with the big monopoly. Those
| who refused to sign the protests, he said
were willing enough, but simply asked:
| tWhat is the use? The railroad will have
it if they want it, as it does everything
| else"
Such property holders were of course in
the minority, the speaker declared, but the
expression of such feelings only went to
| show that people generally had come to
understand that the railroad is master, and
that the rights OF all Others are swept away
when they conflict in any degree with those
! Of the corporation
| A committee was then instructed to file
| the protest, with all the signatures at
tached, with the Board of Supervisors this
morning.
On motion the chairman requested all
parties interested in the defeat of the rail-
road grab of Church street to appear per-
sonally before the Street Committee of the
| Board of Supervisors at its meeting on
! Thursday next, there to vigorously and in
unmistakable terms support the protest to
| be filed.
All of those present declared they would

MINERS HUBBLE IN THE AIRsHAFT
WHILE FLAMES ROAR

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. pa fire oc-
CURED in the Rock stope of the Tennessee
Coal Iron and Railroad Company's mines
at Pratt City this morning that resulted in
the death of Louis Patton and John
Stevens, two miners, and the more or
less seriously injuring of eighteen others.
Twenty miners, all convicts were IN the
Slope near the air shaft at $50 this morn
ing, when they detected the smell of
smoke Shortly afterward an immense
volume of smoke came toward them from
the engine-room, which was between the
air shaft and the cage leading out of the
mine.
The engine does not usually contain fire,
but is used to pump compressed heat into
the mines, hence the origin of the fire,
which started in the engine-room, is a
mystery.
Driven by the smoke the twenty men
hurried to the airshaft and there huddled
together to keep from suffocating. Mean
while the smoke became thicker as the fire,
issuing from the engine-room, seized upon
seven trans and lot of waste and burned
furiously. Breathing became extremely
difficult.
Twenty-three mules in the stable in the
mines also shifted the smoke, and IN trying
TO escape tore about kicking one another
TO death, and making the night hideous
with their cries.
John Patton and Louis Stevens finally
left the crowd at the air shaft and tried to
get TO the cage shaft. They never reached
it, but were afterward found dead near the
engine-room.
One of the men had his head almost
beaten into pulp, indicating that he had
tried TO kill himself rather than suf-
focate to death. The smoke seen is
suing from the shaft brought help by the
way of the cage, and in three hours the
fire was out and the eighteen miners at
the air shaft were brought up in a more or
less serious condition from suffocation.
The mules were suffocated or killed by
one another's kicks.

LOST AND FOUND.
Winnie Stateler, Railroad Agent
Daughter, Causes Alarm.


Daughter, Causes Alarm.
Winnie Stateler, the pretty 15-year-old
daughter of the general agent of the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company, caused con-
siderable alarm in her family by disappear
ing suddenly from her home in Alameda
on Saturday.
Saturday morning, shortly after break
fast, Winnie went to the kitchen and
ironed twenty handkerchiefs. The servants
were surprised and asked for an explana-
ton.
ooh, I'm going on the bum and I'll
want them" the girl gaily replied.
Early in the afternoon Winnie knocked
at the door of the room in which her in
valid mother lay, and upon being invited
to enter thrust her head into the apart
ment and said:
II am going to the library, MANN a, to
read the magazines. Don't be worried if
I'm away all the afternoon"
That was the last seen of the girl. Night
came, but the fair Winnie tarried. They
went to her room and were startled and
alarmed by finding that her macintosh
rubbers and umbrella and a telescope
valise had disappeared. Then the police
were notified and detectives were sent
from this city to the troubled home in
Alameda.
Winnie's acquaintance were questioned.
but they could not throw the faintest ray
of light on the mystery of her disappear
ance. She had never talked of suicide,
had no known male acquaintance outside
OF the family circle, and was not stage
struck. The girl was known to the con-
ductors on the railroad and the gatemen
at the ferry, but they said they had not
seen her.
AT a late hour the young lady was dis
covered safe under the shelter of rela-
tive's roof in this city.

Most Picturesque Historical Figure in

eff were asked what person in the pres

Douglas. There is a great deal
of talk about self-made men in our
time, and we have an abundance
of eloquence concerning Abraham Lin
coins rise from the place of a rail-
splitter to the Presidency; of General
Grants career from the tannery to the DO
sition of first American citizen, and Gar
field from the towpath to the White
House; but none of these men had to make
LIES race with such a handicapping or
facing such odds as Frederick Douglass. A
career like that of Frederick Douglass is
at once an honor and an inspiration to
humanity. In such man the kinship of
all races is demonstrated"

Douglass. The resolutions recommend
that all those who appreciate his eminent

race and to the cause of humanity, should
adopt some emblem of mourning for
thirty days and especially should this be
done by that class of Americans, whom he
assisted so much to free. The members of

Now that the Isumi Kan has been added
to the navy the total number of Japanese
warships is 81. In addition to these there
are 20 torpedo cruisers. Additions to the
navy to be effected this year are as follows:
A second-class cruiser now in process of

within the twenty-eighth fiscal year, as
are also the two torpedo cruisers in course
of building in the same place.
Other warships IN process of building are
a third-class cruiser at Yokosuka and

two ironclads of over 10000 tons each,
which are being built by the Armstrong

added to the navy in three years, as the
Government has asked the Diets consent
to shorten the period of completion by two
