JAPAN AS A MARKE T FOR US.

JAPAN AS A MARKE T FOR US.
The New York Herald Of July END
had two column illustrated article
with the above heading. Out Of the
entire II inches of space occupied, ex.
actly 2 inches, less than s per cent of
the whole, is devoted to the subject
Of "Japan AS Market for U.s." We
quote this portion of the article as
follows:
Throughout the dinner the cUnver-
satiOn turned mainly upon the desire
Of japanese merchants and business
men To not only increase the traffic
between japan and the United States,
but to make, ii possible, Japan IL bet.
ter customer Ut the United States.
All present admitted that our cUmn.
try was not only the best friend sentt.
mentally that japan had, but the
best friend commercially. Every
gentleman who could speak English
conveyed to me personally his appre.
ciatlOn Of the just and fair course of
the Herald toward Japan, and the ad-
vantage 1t was to have In the United
States a journal SO influential To ad.
vOcate Japan's interests. Slime of
them expressed the hope that the
Herald would advocate q policy that
would enable our manufacturers to
place their goods In Japanese markets
IN competition with the nanufactur.
crs of Europe, and which would open
up our cotton field especially to the
Japanese manufacturers.
The foregoing impression Of Colonel
Cockerill's, it would appear. was ar
rived at after dinner when he had
been the recipient Of a banquet &C.
corded him by some japanese ladies
and gentlemen. Before the dinner
the gallant Colonel was presented
with souvenir which he described as
"rare beauty" was not a japanese
maiden, as some Of the Colonel's
friends might perhaps imagine.
We await with interest, 10 subse.
qucnt letter, the details and particu-
lars that will show how the Policy of
Idiocy advocated by the Herald
"would enable our manufacturer to
place their goods In the japanese
markets." Let US have something
more than 2 inches of balderdash, SO
that the next article may be worthy
of its caption.

A MAN from St. Paul rode a frail,
consumptive looking bicycle in the
St. Thomas races. He said his name
was Gould and was looking for smut
in the wheat. After he had been al
lowed to enter 10 the races, he began
taking of his boarding house clothes.
He didn't miss anything but a blue
riding habit, ii at looked as IL it Lad
been made for fly, but was too small.
Gould had curly hair that parted in
the middle and when the wind whistl.
ed through the curls, there seemed to
be no room for doubt but that he was
moving. There we're good bicycle
riders there, many who had outrun
passenger trains and passed elevators,
but they seemed all to be standing
still or going the other way, when the
creased lightning rider of wind got
out with them. He went up town and
got his supper during tho five mile
race, which he won by half a mile

with abundance of good things in
which national dishes predominates.
Then there are speeches by the lead

OF brass band and by the recitation
OF poems suitable to the occasion.
There isalso programme of sports In
which the events are we'll contested.
This morning base bail match was
played between team from Noun.

TORE POLICE

The requisition OF Chief Glass for moro
patrolmen suggests what has been appar-
ent for sumo time. that either the police
force of this city is inadequate for the
citv's protection, or not half active
enough. The infreQueucy with which
policemen are encountered outside the
business portion OF the city and probably
Sonoratown, has long been the subject
of comment on the part of observent peo
pie. Their scarcity is especially notice.
able at night, the time that they should
really be the most in evidence. After
dark, distances Of from one to three miles
through good residence portions of the
city can DO treversed several nights in
succession without meeting a solitary
guardian of the pence. If this condition
of rather sparse police protection exists
because of the insufficlency uf the force,
the latter should be INN ediately in
creased. Tho recent burslaries indicate
in forcible way the exposed state OF
the municipality. Vita the coming of

unanimous opinion of the mem bers of

for the collection, which is probably the
last complete gathering of Indian an
Equities that can possibly be made IN

necessary funds to keep the collection in

Cline and c. f. Lummis were appointed
committee on ways and means.
After the consideration of some mat.
