THE PACE TOO FAST.

japanese Expenditures Undor Civilization
Have Been Enormous.
TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 4.-The steam
ship Olympia, from the Orient, brings
news that the Japanese government is
seriously embarrassed financially, ow-
ing to the rapid pace at which the ma
ton has been going since the war with
China. Civilization has necessitated
increased expenditures in every direc-
ton, particularly in building railroads,
telegraph lines, new government build
ings, improving harbors and strength
ening the army and havy. The treasury
was not directly benefited by the big
war indemnity paid by China, because
it has been kept in England to pay for
new warships and armament. Owing
to the increased expenditures during the
past year all the governments reserve
funds are exhausted.
To Keep Open Vladivostock Harbor.
The Russian government has deter
mined to keep open during the winter
the harbor of Vladivostock, Siberia, the
terminus of the Transsiberian railway.
This harbor is closed by ice from Nov
ember to May, but the government has
Just sent to Vladivostock two immense
ice crushing steamers like those used in
keeping winter communication open be-
tween Denmark and Sweden.
There is great need of rain in Corea,
and the governor has sent priests to the
mountains to petition the gods for
showers. 1t is certain large importa-
tons of grain will be necessary, while
Corea exports to China and Japan.

also sends the following important and
exclusive information from Honolulu:

it from a most creditable source that

those in authority here that if the JAP
anese make the least move, the Amer1'
