JAPANESE MINISTRY.
REPORT THAT THE WHOLE
CABINET HAS RESIGNED.
Hoshi, Minister to the United
States, Not Advised as to the
Truth Of the Rumor.

YOKOHAMA, Dec. 2S.-Owing to the
failure Of the Premier. Marquis Saigo,
to reconstruct the Cabinet, all the men,
bers of that body have resigned.
The newspapers demand the forma-
tion of a very strong Ministry. capable
of coping with the situation in the
East.
A dispatch to the Times from Kobe,
Japan, says the dissolution of the Diet
has greatly angered the political par
ties. 1t is probable that the Marquis Ito,
former Premier, and Count Okuma, a
former Foreign Minister, will form
coalition Ministry, with vigorous for
eign policy. The military party is eager
for action. Extraordinary activity pre-
walls at the military and naval depotS,
and warships are assembling at NaSa-
Saki.
MINISTER HOSHI NOT ADVISED.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The Japa-
nese Minister has not yet been advised
of the resignation Of the entire Cabi-
net and he feels that while the resigna-
tions may have been rendered, the En-
peror will not accept them, unless it be-
comes apparent that an entirely new
Cabinet, under Marquis Ito, can be
formed.
Ito has been in private life much OF
the time since his notable achievements
during the China-Japanese war, and II
is not believed he is ready to return to
the Cabinet. He is strong with all par
ties, however, and has the people be-
hind him, so that he may again assume
the Premiership if the emergencies de-
mand it.
The Yokohama dispatch refers to Mar
quis Saigo as the present Premier, winch
is said at the legation to be an lnaccu-
racy, as Minister Matsugata has been
Premier up to this time, with Marquis
Saigo as Minister Of Marine.
The reference in the dispatch to the
public sentiment in Japan for a strong
Ministry, capable of coping with the
situation in the East, is one OF the hrst
intimations direct from Japan that she
may take a hand in the controversy
centering in China.
While he has received no official ad-
vices as to the purpose of his Govern
ment, Mr.. Hoshi expresses the personal
conviction that Japan will not be quick
to enter the controversy, but will MAIN
tain an independent attitude for the
present.

Sheets and
Pillow Cases.

Not many years ago much of
the time OF thrifty housewives was
spent over the family sewing ma
chine. Every year, however. has
seen a lessening OF II, Tor every
year has seen additions to the list
OF garments which 1t Is more sat
isfactory and fully as cheap to
buy ready made. :,
The last onset has been on
sheets and pillow cases. Here are
sheets, not skimpy and mean, but
28 yards square, OF good muslin,
nicely hemmed and ready for use.
The price is 55cA and the cloth
alone at retail is worth fully that.
If you want pillow slips to match
the price is Ioc each.
Don't bother to make such
articles at home, when big manu-
iacturers will do the work for you
with steam driven sewing ma
chimes and charge you nothing
for it.
And while we are at the mus
lin and linen counter, let us show
YOU these bleached napkins in
pretty patterns at 81 dozen. They
have selvedge sides, which is un-
usual in low price napkins, and
after hemming will be IS inches
square. You will find them un-
eXpectedly nice for the money.

complexion upon Hawaiis prospects

a marked change of sentiment con-
corning Hawaii, and it would not sur

limb Of the Sunday School teacher, and
Il green worm will wander down the

lister will sit down on rotten stump
and ask for sweet pickle and another

yellow jacket will back up to him and
puncture his tire, and the Old maid who
sings in the choir will see snake and
faint in the arms of the minister with
the punctured tire, and the busy little
ants will play around the jelly and get
it all over their clothes, and one of the
infant class will fall out of the swing
and break its collar-bone, and after
awhile they'll all go home again and
declare that they had just perfectly

One night not long since he was max

back doors of the business houses to
see if some carless man had left one

not been locked, and, concluding the
key must be on the inside, opened the
door and went in to see. He found the
key and closed the door, while inside,
and lockedit; butto his dismay found he
could not unlock it again. For some
time the marshal was an involuntary
prisoner and, we presume, made vari-
Gus uncomplimentary remarks about
doors in general but he continued to
work at the lock and finally succeeded
in reopening the door, and made his
escape.

About 1000 o'clock on Friday night

couple Of young men standing on North

couple of tramps were exploring the

sought the marshal, and the three

found the mill doors open, and two Of

A careful search was made of the prem =
ises, but no tramps discovered. But
outside the mill fresh tracks we're
found in the saw dust leading in the
direction of the Fair grounds. Follow
ing these, they soon perceived light
in the judges stand opposite the grand
stand. The three approached the
stand from different directions in order
to prevent an escape on the part of the
supposed tramps. Reaching the stand
the marshal was considerably surprised
to find a couple of town boys indulging
in quiet game of penny ante. The
boys had borrowed one of the oil street
lamps and by its light were having a
good game when interrupted by the
marshal and his friends. The boys
we're very much frightened, and could
scarcely reply to the questions asked
them by Mr.. Williams. They promised
not to disturb the street lamps again
and the marshal allowed them to go.
