The competition of japanese matches
IL already being severely felt in Eu-
ropean markets. says the Pittsburs Dis
patch. After supplying the home mar
kst. the Japanese send 3,500, 900 900
boxes to the rest of the world-mostly
however, to Asia. This has de-
stroyed the European match trade in
India. China and Hongkong, but, 20
far. 1t has not affected the trade In
America to any extent. That 1t will
shortly do SO. however. II. In the opin-
ion Of an American gentleman who has
studied the matter, certain. He says
that during his stay In Japan. on an
ofacial investigation, the output OF at
least one large match concern At Osa-
ka was secured by an American syndi-
cate. Osaka produced last year 100.-
0O0. 900 dozen boxes of matches, en-
ploying 3.629 men and s.711 women, to
say nothing Of the innumerable chill
dren who earn few ssn per day in
the work. One Of the largest factories
employs $500 hands. The sticks are
cut by machinery. They IRE siftsd in
to little boxes by women and collected
and put in frames by tiny waits of
children, some of whom are under 10.
The sulphur and parafiin are put On by
hand presses and then dried In the sun.
The boxes are made and the labsls put
on by little girls, whose fingers are so
nimble that the human eye II incapable
of following their movements - the
purple and yellow boxes drop, more
than one a second, into the huge bas-
kets at their side. Over twelve hours
day these little creatures labor for
wages which range from one cent to
five cents of our money. Hsre the
wonderfully cheerful temperament Of
the Japs Is seen to perfection. They
Sing and chatter and laugh and eat

which they handle with ~ much dex-
terity as they do the matches. Here
they sit the twelve long hours ON the
floor, In small pens about four feet
square. marked on by bamboo polss,
and no expression of discomfort II ever
seen. Thereare no factory laws. no reg
ulationsas to the age at which chaldrsa
should begin work, and no limitaEjsus
of hours Of labor in Japan. For Dc
moment there is scramble to utilise
every pair of bright eyes and de1krous
hands, regardless of future conss-
quences, but the government and ths
sanitary authorities have taken TIE
matter up, and In a few years. In al
likelihood. q more humane system win
be evolved.

A dispatch to the Daily News from

The correspondent Of tn. Associa,-

line was attacked to-day by Turkish
force of 10000 infantry, In additional
to artillery and cavalry. Colonel Ma
kris commanded the Greek left wing,
and Colonel MavrOnichalIs the right
wing. Both repulsed the Turks with
great slaughter The railway station

Unquestionably the most practical ana

garded as the very best means of has
