procedure, still Counsellor Akiyama of
the Foreign Office and Special Com
missioner from his Government, will re-
turn to Toxic by the Rio de Janeiro,
sailing from Honolulu next Saturday
evening
1T is extremely probable that I will
be able to leave for Japan on the Rio
de Janeiro," said Counsellor Akiyama
at the japanese Legation this morning
My original plans were to remain here
for some months, but if L can get up
certain work in time 1 will leave and
convey to my country a complete re-
port on the present status of the dlplo-
matte relations between Minister cooper
and Minister Shimamura. 1t is quite
likely that 1 will return to Honolulu
very shortly with further word from my
Government to the legation here
On the 26th inst. Minister of For
eign Affairs Cooper transmitted his
answer to II. l. J. rs Minister Resi-
dent Shimamura, in the japanese I'M
migration trouble. In answer to ques-
ton, Mr.. Shimamura admitted receiV-
ing the letter and remarked that the
contents are very unsatisfactory.
Further than this the Minister would
not speak He denied, however, that
he had any thought of putting Japa-
nese marines in the Custom House or
anywh here else, and characterized the
rumor as "thoughtless talk
The Japan Herald" recently had this
to say about the Hawaiian situation:
The ominous calm which is now pre-
vailing regarding the Hawaiian ques-
tion is not difficult to interpret, and
any one who runs may read, notwith-
standing the secrecy which attends the
preparations of the japanese Govern
ment for a descent upon the Hawaiian
Islands.
This is their aim, and unless their
claims are fully met, and promise offu-
ture good behavior made regarding the
Sandwich Islands, We shall soon hear
that the flag of Japan has replaced that
of the present shaky republic. That
the Japanese Government have a just
claim against the Hawaiian Republic is
beyond question. That the japanese
will press that claim, there is not a
doubt. Who will take sides with Ha-
waii? America? What will be the re-
suit? The Japanese population now of
the Sandwich Islands is about 25,000,
say. Eighteen thousand of them are
men, and those men are practically SOL
dIers who have been through their con-
script term in the army. To send over
two or three large transports with the
necessary arms ammunition, field guns,
etc, is tie easiest thing possible
With Japan's large fleet of merchant
ships as transports its large coal fields
to draw its supplies from, backedh
to draw its supplies from, backed
up by its war ships, which are now in
excellent repair, and soon to be aug
mented by its new formidable battle
ships Fuji Kan and Yashima Kan, and
its strong fleet of torpedo boats, Amer
lea could not land a single man in the
Hawaiian Islands. They would meet
the fate of the Chinese on board the
kowshing in the late war. There are
only two harbOrs in the Sandwich Is
lands worthy of the name-HonoIulu
and Hilo. These and any other of the
possible landing places would be seized
upon by the Japanese before America
could think of moving the troops which
would be drawn from those who are
there now as emigrants''

Improvement in Cattle.

The important improvements in
cattle breeding in Nevada promises
to push the State to the front line as
stock growing region. As stockmen
advance the grade of their stock they
feel the need of better care and feed
for the more valuable animals and
the requirements of feed and shelter
will grow more exigent with the i'm
provement Of quality of stock. Nevada
will not lag behind in the quality OF
her stock o in care given them.
Whenever it is possible such feeding
crops as can be raised will be cult
waited.
John Sparks is. perhaps, doing
more to improve stock in Nevada
than any other man Within the con-
fines Of the commonwealth. Good
stock is bound to win in the long run
and Mr.. Sparks will be rewarded.

The Genoa Lynching

The press Of the State takes but one
view Of the Genoa lynching:
The Reno Journal says: "The deed
can only be compared to the work of
f1ends and would make a white cap or
a b~lood-thirsty Apache ashamed of
himself"
The Renc Gazette says:
"Why should twenty men step in
and take the law into their own
hands and hang a man that was in
jail awaiting the action OF the regular
tribunal whose duty it is to give every
man a fair trial? Peaceful Genoa
has been d%isRraced, and the subject
should be made a matter of vigorous
investigation by a Grand Jury. This
wholesale hanging should be con-
demned with as much vigor as the
act of a murderer. The Gazette is
pleased to see the Courier take the
sensible view Of it that it does, and
the Gazette will assist the Courier in
any way in it's power to bring the
twenty men to the bar of Justice"
The Virginia Report of Wednesday
in a long editorial fairly burns up
the mob and calls upon the people to
avenge the insult put upon the com
munity and State. Cowardly, brutal,
ignorant. la~w-breaking, treason
breeding cut-throats, and other hard
names are given the lynchers.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. S.-The
Fall River cotton manufacturers, al a
special meeting, voted to reduce the
wages of operatives. The cut will
n be less than 10 per cent and will
affect about $4,000 employees. The
cause of the reduction is the de-
pressed condition of the cotton
market, which does not enable print
cloth, it is asserted, to be manufac-
tured for the price 10y prevailing
which is the lowest on record.
Petaluma, Nov. So.-The P~etalur1a
wooden mills, which have been in
constant operation for the last ten
years, were closed down to-day for an
indefinite period.
The above dispatches are from
many similar ones which daily ap-
pear in the columns of the news
papers. 1t was urged during the
campaign that all the American
workman needed was a high tariff to
make him prosperous. He was told
also that the high tariff would pro-
vide for his wants provided he had no
money to purchase the necessities Of
life with. He seemed to have been
fool enough to believe that a raise in
the price of goods would help him in
some way eve if his slender stock of
money was not augmented.
He now realizes that the tariff ad-
vocates will not give him goods un-
less he has money to pay for them.
He should have known that before if
he had any common sense. The
motto of the silver men in the CAM
paign was more money and less
misery" When the American work
man out of a job reads this motto
he beings to realize what it mean.
