Much of the carting is done on hand
carts; If a horse draws dray, he is
not driven, but led along with hal
ter, in place of head stall. Some two
horse drays here are with a drivers
seat on the goose-neck, such as we see
in Honolulu; but the drays are larger
and have a light iron frame with an
awning. The suns rays have pecu-
liarly penetrating power in Japan, and
anything like sunstroke must be care
fully avoided, and umbrellas are neces-
stiles. In the busy hours of the day
the streets are full. Groups of Japan
csc walk along together looking hither
and yon as we see them doing in Ho-
nolulu The jinrikisha men are the
only people that seem to be in hurry.
Some few impetuous people are drawn
by a running team of those. H.

have met the BLACK Stream" as the
Chinese call the ocean current that
sweeps past the shores Of Japan, max
ing the climate as moist as does the
Gulf Stream of the Atlantic the shores
Of green Erin. Our ship is too heavily
loaded to make Roadway against it. We
had hoped to reach Yokohama in sea-
son TO make close connection with the
Rio de Janeiro, which is to leave Yo-
k0hama at noon.
In the early morning of the second
day out We passed under the lee of Bird
Island or Nihoa. This outlying islet of
the Hawaiian Archipelago rises sheer
from the waters edge perpendicular
Jagged mass of volcanic rock The
northern side is said to show more of
a slope, and on that side, also, is the
landing place. We passed that day,
also, a curious scum floating on the
water, like the outflow of some sub
marine sulphur spring. One day we
saw a school of porpoises leaping out
of the water as they dashed onward in
front of the bow of the steamer.
At midnight of Tuesday we met the
steamship Coptic, which left Yokoha-
ma the same date we left Honolulu.
As we neared Japan the surface of the
ocean was more quiet, with here and
there patches and streaks of perfectly
smooth water. But / have never seen
the Pacific as CLASSY smooth as was the
Atlantic when / crossed it four years
ago in August. The lonesomeness of
The Pacific intensifies the monotony of
the voyage We do not expect on this
route such strong winds and rough seas
as those must expect on the Vancou-
yer route. To them the Pacific would
be more appropriately called Terrific.

The Russell Staple Fuller
and Wire Splicer is a drop
forged tool, made of Black
Diamond tool steel; and is
six useful tools in one,
weighs about one pound and
can be carried in the hip
pocket with ease.
Besides the six tools it can
be used for various other
purposes, which suggest
themselves as necessity de-
mands. The six tools are as
follows:
/. A double staple puller,
rails, etc.
2. A double wire cutter,
and the best made.
;. A double hammer, and
no danger of its breaking.
4. A good wire splicer for
any kind of wire, barbed
wire included.
s. A good pair of pinch
ers with long leverage.
E. A good monkey
wrench for plows, machines,
etc.
1t is good for tightening
slack wire, by grasping the
wire in the jaws of Splicer
and pressing handle to right
or left until it bends the
wire, moving on from place
to place. until you have it
tight enough.
The Russell Staple Fuller
and Wire Splicer is admitted
to be the handiest tool made
for ranchers. farmers, etc.,
and has an immense sale in
the States and wherever it
is introduced.

Malt

OF the many reputable preparations
offered to build you up and restore lost
vigor, most all of them are repulsive to
some people, and, therefore, ought not
to be used. MALT MURINE acts
with all alike; the effect is generally
very marked, and at all times bene-
fetal.

were in previous to taking their vaca-

1umbia since the enactment of the law
against carrying deadly weapons more
atrocioGs crimes have been committed than
within the same period before its enact
ment, and nearly all of the victims have
been laW-abiding citizens. Within the rural
parts of this District = and those of the
United States generally the rural jewellers
are in constant terror and apprehension of
attacks on their lives and property. One
of the worst features of these laws is that
individuals are prevented from becoming
acquainted with the use of firearms thus
creating an element of national weakness
whenever men are required in defense of
the nation or as conservators of the peace.
1t occurs to me that the proper thing to do
is to repeal the present law and enact one
which shall provide that every person who
has been previously convicted of a crime
Involving violence or a penitentiary offense;
every drunken person, every vagabond and
every person who enters a place where in
toxicating drinks are Sold whilst so armed,
shall, upon conviction, be imprisoned in the
common Jail or workhouse for two years;
a crime, or attempting to commit a crime.
shall. in addition to the punishment pre-
scribed by law for such offense or attempt
shall, if armed at such time with a deadly
weapon. be sentenced to an additional term
of three years in the penitentiary. / be-
lieve such law, acting directly, as 1t
would on the criminal classes, would soon
prove to be sufficient, adequate remedy
in the reduction of the number of crimes
committed and would remove this District
from the list of places classed as paradises
for criminals. JOHN S. BLANKMAN.

CARRYING DEADLY WEAPONS.
Not Sufficient Distinction Made in the
Law at Present.


To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Within the past few days The Star pub
lished statement that an amendment was
about to be offered in Congress, making
certain changes in the act of Congress rela-
tive to the carrying of deadly weapons
in the District Of Columbia. Nearly every
state In the Union has enacted law SINH
lar to the one in force in this District. The
universal experience has been that such
laws have been failures. The reasons are
chiefly that such laws have made no dis
tinction between citizens armed with dead
ly weapons for self-protection whilst en-
gagged in legitimate pursuit and crimi-
nal armed with a deadly weapon and bent
on the commission of crime; 2) such laws
have been impractical and wholly made
quate to accomplish the objects intended.
Under our law in this District the fol-
lowing reputable persons are liable to i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary for three
years for the second offense of carrying
deadly weapons, viz: Physicians, when
called to dangerous locality at the dead
of night on professional business; every
commercial traveller who carries a sample
case Of razors or weapons for the purpose
OF ERECTING sales by samples; every visitor
to the District who carries his razor or
weapon in his hand bag on his way to a ho-
tel or to the depot, and to the President s
house, Capitol and departments are not to
be considered a mans place of business"
then every President, Vice President Of the
United States, cabinet officer or Congress-
man who arms himself for protection
against assassins or fanatics is also liable
to imprisonment in the penitentiary for
three years; also bank or express messer,-
gers when carrying funds Of such banks,
express company, and SO on adinfinitum
Such law is certainly lacking in the ele-
ment Of common sense and in many re-
spects is clearly unconstitutional.

WHAT IS SPENT FOR DRINK.
A Philadelphian Thinks 1t il More
Important Than the Currency.

From the city of brotherly loves came
this morning directed to the Postmaster
General:
Dear Sir: / think all this talk about the
currency should be checked by all sensi-
bic persons. We all will have differences
that can never be reconciled. and we should
direct our attention to striving by all
means to gain the amelioration Of our
countrymen and overthrow the saloon. The
actual difference between the Mckinley
and Wilson bill about which the country
heard so much would pay the drink bill
of this nation but two days. The entire
output of silver produced in this country
in 1873 would pay this nations drink hill
but twenty-five days. and all the gold
coined in this country in 1888 would pay
our nations drink bill but seven days"
