ENGLISH FOR THE JAPANESE.

-'-'0'' EOh lFIE OAFATNE0Es
Amusing Extracts from Manual of Con-
versation.
The English language as spoken and
written by the Japs is often fearful and
wonderful in Its surprising and unex-
pected twists and contortions Mr..
Basil Hall Chamberlain, professor of
Japanese and philology in the Imperial
university OF Japan, gives some anus
ing and authentic instances of this.
among them are some extracts frc m a
oook published in Osaka some time
ago, entitled: 1.-THE Practical Use of
conversation for Police Authorities
Under the heading of "Misseranious
subjects" is placed an imaginary con-
versation between a member of "the
force" and an English blueiaclxet:
What countryman are you?"
u am an English sailor belonging to
tne English man-of-war."
why do you strike this Jinriksha
man?"
He told me impolitely."
What does he told you impolitely?"
He insulted me, saying loudly: 'The
sailor, the sailor when am passing
here"
Did you striking this man for thatp"
"Yes."
But do not strike him for it is for
bidded."
II strike him no more"
The author teaches his policemen not
only to converse, but to moralize thus:
japanese police force consists of nice
young men.
But l regret that their attires are
not perfectly neat.
when constable comes in contact
with people he shall be polite and
tender in his manner of speaking and
movement
IF he will terrify or scold the people
with enormous voice he will become
himself an object of fear for the people.
Civilized people is meek, but bar
barous people is vain and naughty.
Those Japanese who acquire a little
of foreign language think they have
the knowledge of foreign countries, as
Chinese, English or French. There is
nothing hard to success what they at
tempt. They would initiate themselves
to Caesar, the ablest hero of Rome,
who has been raised the army against
his own country crossing the River
Rubicon."
A CLEAN of diffidence seems to cross
the police mind when one policeman
says to the other: "You speak the
English very we'll" and the other re-
plies: You jest" IN. Y. Sun.

HARRISON is FREE.
Practically the End Of an Incident
on the Disputed Boun-
CarV Line.

Washington, D. c., June 26-The lat
est complication in the Venezuelan ques-
ton has been promptly settled through
the friendly Intervention of the United
States. Minister Andrade, the Venezue-
Ian minister. called at the state depart,
ment today and handed to Mr.. Olney a
copy of telegram he had Just received
from Mr.. ROjaS the Venezuelan minister
of foreign affairs, stating that Mr. Har-
rison, the crown surveyor of the British
Guiana, who with his party had been
placed in arrest by Venezuelan officials
had been promptly released.
The telegram to Minister Andrade fol-
lows:
1t was yesterday when the national COM
missary of Cuyuni telegraphed occurrence.
Harrison and nineteen more crossed on the
left bank of the Cuyuni to open IL road. The
subcommissary Of AcarabeS protested in
writing. Harrison insisted and the subcom-
miSsary took him to the post of EldoradO.
AS soon as the government was informed
thereof it ordered the release of Harrison
and asked details.
1t is undoubtedly true that the prompt
action Of the Venezuelan government
was due in a measure to Mr. Olney's in
tercesson through our minister at Cara
cas- and it is believed that the main issue
between Great Britain and Venezuela
Will be even more easy CT settlement
now that the latter government has been
so prompt to disavow the act of the sub
commiSsary.
Minister Andrade says that the Cuyuni
river has been the provisional boundary
and has never before been crossed by the
British. In all the encroachments on
Venezuelan territory the rights of Vene-
zuela to the territory on the left bank
of the Cuyuni has been respected by the
British. Posts have been erected by the
VeneZuelans on the left bank and by
the British on the right bank and while
the country on the right bank is in dis
pute that on the left has never been
disputed until Harrison attempted to
cross the river against the protest of the
Venezuelan authorities

people greeted them. Ne violence was
offered, though many threats We're heard.

murder, but that the first shot was an
accident and the second was for self-de-

THE DEEDS ARE VOID.
Attorneys for the Heirs to the Fair
Estate Are Confident Of
Success.

San Francisco, Cal, June 27.-Mrs.
Nettie r. Craven has produced the deeds
that We're recorded with so much mys-
terry a few days ago. The presentation
of these documents before Judge Slack
last night has led to another startling
development in the sensational case.
The attorneys for the heirs not only
claim the papers bear their own evidence
of forgery, but they assert that under
the laws Of California the transfer of
property, whether made by James O.
Fair or not. is void.
While Mrs. Craven was too Ill to go
on the witness stand last night and was
excused until next Thursday morning,
the lawyers arrayed in opposition to her
were given an opportunity to inspect the
documents she prizes so highly. Al
though this inspection was little more
than casual one the attorneys for the
children of Fair claim they have found
new reasons to reiterate their charge of
forgery. They assert that in one of the
deeds the signature of James @. Fair
was written over an erasure which may
show something more under micro
scope. 1t is also claimed that the date,
September s, 1894. was also written
over an erasure, but independent of
these alleged considerations. the att0r-
neys for the children insist that both
deeds are void because they give no
legal description Of the property that
was to be transferred.

The probable resignation of Baron Won
Berlepsch has been discussed for a long

between the minister of commerce and
Driton Boettcher. the imperial secretary
of state for tie interior. since Noyem Der

surance office, prematurely published
some plans of his own to effect reforms
in the system of old age insurance. This
angered DR.. Won Boettcher. Baron Won
Berlepsch came to the support of DR..

II was reported that both Baron Won
BerIepsch and DR.. Won Boettcher would
resign
