NOMURA'S DRASTIC WAYS

Associated Press specisl Wire.
SAN FRANCISCO. July II. - The
steamer Gaelic, from Toxic June Goth,
brought the following advices:
Viscount Nomura. home minister, is
the busiest man in the Japanese cabinet.
He is chiefly occupied in devising meas
ures for checking internal political agita-
tions. The methods of Nisount Nomura
are far more sweeping and drastic than
any previously employed in Japan. He
is determined that no newspaper shall
continue to assail the administration for
alleged failure to sustain the national
dignity in the recent Gifiiulty with the
three European powers, and that no pub
lie meetings shall be held by the parties
in opposition with the view of forcing
Count Ito and his colleagues out of office.
Suspensions are enforced at the slightest
sign to overstep the prescribed limita-
tions of editorial criticism. Prominent
radical leaders are arrested and brought
to trial for endeavoIing TO organize
demonstrations hostile to the government
throughout the empire. Count Ito APP
pears to have definitely resolved that he
will not resign his position IN response to
the demand of an unreasoning populace,
and he can probably keep his enemies at
a distance until the meeting of parlia-
ment. Then the real struggle will begin.
Count Inonye has reported the results
of his experience as envoy to Corea and
ready to formulate his opinion with ref
erence to the future policy of Japan in
that troublesome kingdom. There ar
grounds for believing that he will advo-
cate continuance of the efforts to intro
duce reforms and build up respectable
system of government, but it is far from
certain that this advice will suit the
present disposition of the Japanese minis
ters of state, some of whom are beginning
to look upon the regeneration OF Corea as
a hopeless undertaking.
Official circles are much interested In
reports of conciliatory advances on the
part of Russia toward Japan. There are
strong reasons for believing that the
government at st. Petersburg has in
structed its representative in Toxic to de-
vote himself to the task of allaying the ir-
ritation caused by the recent demonstra.
tion against the japanese territorial
scheme in Manchuria, and to discuss
plans for restoring cordial relations be-
tween the two nations. Russia is said to
be willing to explain, in friendly sense,
her objections to japanese expansion on
the continent, and to give assurances
that she will not oppose the growth of
the island empire in other directions, but
will, on the contrary, regard such growth
with satisfaction. Japan is requested to
believe that the interests of her powerful
neighbor would be materially served by
the consolidation of japanese strength
in the Pacific, and that if guarantees can
b.. given that no interference will be at
tempted in Russia's projects for the de-
of Siberia, an alliance may be
formed on terms mutually beneficial. This

No definite intelligence from the mis-

by the local authorities, it is certain th at
no dispatches can be transmitted. A re-
port is circulated that the members of the
American Baptist mission have escaped
to Chung King, and confirmation of this
news is eagerly awaited. The apathy of
the tsung-li-yamen in responding to the
appeals of the foreign ENJOYS for imme-
diate action, has compelled the repre-

DISEASES OF BEES.
A Number of Kaladies to Contend With,
 Like Other Communities

A Number of Maladies to Contend With,
 Like Other Communities
 During the last few years, thanks chiefly to the enterprise of the British Bee keepers association, the keeping of bees has made great progress in this country, and it is now rare to see the humblest cot tage without its two or three hives, while in the course of railway journey ono may often see largo field dotted over with tho elaborate structures which serve tho mod ern bee for residence, all of them care fully facing the east so that their inmates should be walked by the first rays of the sun, and surrounded with other fields In which honey producing blooms reduce their labor to minimum.
 With the Increase of bees, however, has come the spread of disease in much more rapid proportion. The old method used to be to keep the bees in a straw skip, and when they had filled it with comb at the end of the season to suffocate the entire community with sulphur and appropriate the results of it's industry. This of course was not only a cruel, but an extremely wasteful method. Nowadays, with the modern frame hive, the honey is taken without disturbing the bees, and they are carefully packed up and preserved during the winter and even fed if they run short of food.
 The modern hive, however, is subject to the beekeepers principal trouble. namely, what is called foul brood.'' No, body knows exactly what this is, or how it is produced, but it takes the form in the first place of a discoloration of the combs, and afterward of complete putridity, which is equally patent to the eyes and the nose. It is extremely infectious, and as bees are constantly visiting one an others hives for predatory purposes, when it appears in district 1t speedily spreads. It is said that when the beekeepers of Kent recently employed an expert to ex- anime their hives, 109 were found to bo diseased out of 307.-London Chronicle.
