ed view of the position which we
cannot accept, and we are fortu-
nately strong enough, and have
the courage, to support our con-
victions.
The foregoing is a manly way
of treating the subject. Every
country that joins the march of
civilization, as Japan has done,
ought to be welcomed as a gain
to the hope of universal peace
and prosperity. Japan must be
accorded the same rights to "a fair
field and no favor" as any other
nation, and if her progress dis
turbs the equilibrium of universal
commerce, there is naught for
other nations to do but to adjust
their enterprises and policies to
the new circumstances.

Facts About a Watch
From n. Y. Commercial Adv.)

"a watch balance gives five
vibrations every second, 300 every
minute, $4,000 every hour, $4,000
every day, 157 $4,000 every year.
AT each vibration it rotates about
l / times, which makes 1877, 100000
revolutions every year. In order
that we may better understand the
stupendous amount of labor per-
formed by these tiny works, let
us make a pertinent comparison.
Take for illustration locomotive
with six, foot driving wheels. Let
its wheels be run until they have
given the same number of revollF
ton that a watch does in one
year, and they will have covered a
distance equal to twenty eight
complete circuits of the earth"
What stupendous working
powers your tiny little ma
chine has; and how little at
tention you give 1T until it has
refused to go further. Tired
out" The accumulation Of old
oil, particles of dirt, so minute
you can't see it, have 50 added
to its burdens, that it refuses
to 90 further. Now is the
time to send it to watch
maker, not until now, for it
will no longer 90 as it should.
How much better to give it all
the attention it needs while it
yet can 90. Is it no better
than a common lawn mower =?
You give it less attention.
Would you think of running a
mower for a year or two stea-
Oily every day without a little
oil, something to help it over
the rough places. Yet you
are letting your valuable little
time piece wear itself out, sim
ply for want Of a little atten-
ton. 1t is our business to
take care of your watch. Only
expert workmen are employed
for that purpose, and what we
do is well-done. All compli-
Gated work finds its way to orr
workshop, let us have some of
your easy work also. Don't
get into the habit of bringing
1t to us after it has been
through the hands of numer-
Gus others; it will be cheaper
for you to have it done well in
the first place,

JAPANESE COMPETITION.

Instigated by commercial bodies
of San Francisco, Representative
Johnson has presented a resolu-
ton directing the Ways and
Means Committee to investigate
the whole question of competition
from Japan in products and man
ufactures, and to report by bill or
otherwise. A London trade journal
received by last mail has the first
Of a series OF articles ON the same
subject. The Foreign and Colo
nial Importer is the journal re-
ferrat 10, and it refers in the
following words to an accusation
that the japanese are not quite
square in commercial dealings:
every keen competition which
exists for japanese orders appears
to be a distinct answer to this
charge of want OF business NOR
atty" For ourselves we believe
that japanese commercial men are
in every way as honest as their
competitors in other countries,
and such indeed is the general
belief throughout the commercial
community over here; and as
English manufacturers secure a
very large share of Japans orders,
they are perhaps in an excellent
position for forming a Judgment,
and it is probably only the dis
appointed wooers who talk
about her faults. The fact
that England does secure so
good proportion of her require
ments may induce us to watch her
enterprise in those quarters of the
world which we have always con-
sidered as the best fields for the
reception of our own manu-
features with a little more good
nature than might otherwise be
the case. The seriousness of her
competition. IS, however, fully recog-
Missed, and i'll subsequent articles
it will be more clearly seen why
there is so good cause for APP
prehension. In the course
of our remarks it will
no doubt be necessary
to find fault with many of the
japanese productions, but more
frequently perhaps the reverse
will be the case. No doubt also
many of our friends at home will
seriously disagree with our touch
ing upon the subject in so fair a
manner, being under the impress
sion that by so doing we shall be
pursuing a policy detrimental to
the interests of English traders.
Tbat, however, is a narrow mind

THE HAWAIIAN CABLE.
Extension of the Proposed LINE to
China Is Under Consideration.

Extension of the Proposed LINE to
China IL Under Consideration.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 10
The Senate Committee on For
eign Relations this morning gave
the proposed telegraphic cable
propositions connecting the Unit
ed States with the Hawaiian ISL
ands and the Asiatic coast much
consideration. The proposition
of the New York company, head
ed by James A. Scrymser, was
materially amended today in a
statement laid before the commit
tee by a proposition to extend the
cable to such other islands in the
Pacific Ocean as may be selected
and to the coast of China, making
that one of the termini instead
of the island of Japan.
The rate for ordinary private
messages between the United
States and Japan and China is
Sl.25 per word, and on messages
between the United States and the
Island of Oahu in the Hawaiian
group at IS cents per word. Press
rates are not to exceed one-quarter
rates charged for ordinary mes
sages. No action was taken by
the committee.

Mr.. and Mrs. 7. ID. Stimson of
Los Angeles, Cal, visited Homo.
lulu few months ago, and Mr..
Stimson intended to come here
again. A Los Angeles paper re-
ceived by ID. V. Waldron, who is
staying at the Hawaiian Hotel,
contains an account of an attempt
to blow up Mr.. Stimson's house
with dynamite on the evening of
February 81. A neighbor fired
several shots at the dynamiter with
out result. The residence is pala-
tial and valued at S150,000, and
the Stimson family are to be con-
graduated upon their escape from
both loss of life and of property.
Mrs. Stimson and her daughter

1t is reported from Havana that
$4,000, or perhaps even 10000
Spanish soldiers, are missing
somewhere in Cuba. The fact
has been communicated to the
Madrid Government, and there is
a search going on for the where
abouts of the soldiers day and
night. Incorrect records, deser-
tons to the enemy and unreport-
ed deaths in the field are surmised
as singly or jointly explaining
the hiatus in numbers. Referring
to the possible cause of losses in
fights not being reported, the Ha-
vana correspondent of the New
York Mail and Express pithily
observes:
The expectation that many
losses in engagements have not
been sent in receives support
from the known falsity of those
reports, which has repeatedly
been pointed out That 700
Spanish should attack 5000
rebels, that a battle lasting seven
hours should ensue, and that only
one Spanish soldier should be
wounded (as was told in report
from Santa Clara last week., indi-
Gates that the Spanish soldiers
have charmed lives or that an
enormous amount of lying is being
done.

McKinley's chances for the Re
publican nomination have petered
out somewhat. He was the choice
of Pennsylvania until Quay's
name was announced. Now, ac-
cording to a canvass made by the
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette, the
solid delegation of that great State
will be for Quay. Mckinley holds
Virginia entire, unless, by the
authority just quoted, Senator
Elkins should run. 1t will be a
pity for the party if Quay should
be preferred to Mckinley. Quay
represents the most extreme
machine politics-he is for the
''bar'l of money" in campaign
every time while Mckinley, be-
sides being a square man and an
able, in his name represents the
leading doctrine of his party
protection.
