1t is the belief of considerable number
of Indianians that all distinguished natives
of the State who did not originate in Madi-
son did come from Brookvile. One of these
persons comes to the front with the an
nouncement that Joaquin Miller, poet and
klondike explorer, was born in Brookvile
and spent his early years there. This may
be true. but If so. Mr. Miller does not seem
disposed to acknowledge it. Appletons
biography gives his birthplace as lin the
Wabash region" and a recent newspaper
article whose writer had interviewed the
poet located it in Grant county Some
"reminiscences contributed by him to an
Eastern paper not long since showed him
to have been familiar in boyhood with the
historic battle ground" near Lafayette.

IN THE EVENT OF TROUBLE
Uncle Sam Gould Seize Two Japanese War
Ships.
Now Building I'm This Country, and
Would he Decided Acquisitions
to the American Navy.

The fact that there are two Japanese
| warships completely within the power Of
the United States will undoubtedly cause
| the conqueror of China to hesitate long and
deliberately before she makes any hostile
demonstration against the United States,
even If the annexation of Hawaii should
cause her to consider such a serious step.
The ships in question are now being built
in American yards-one by the Cramps at
Philadelphia and the other by the Union
iron works at San Francisco, and when
| finished they will prove powerful additions
to the offensive and defensive strength of
| the empire of the rising sun. At the first
| overt act on the part of Japan, Uncle Sam
would promptly seize these vessels and
complete them rapidly as possible for
use against the government for which they
are being constructed.
Contracts for the two ships were entered
into by the japanese government shortly
after the close of the war with China and
the fact that the work was given to Amer
lean shipbuilders In preference to those of
England, France or other European coun-
tries was accepted as high compliment
to the merits of American workmanship,
as well as an indie alton of the warm
friendship of Japan and the United States.
The vessels are unarmored cruisers with
protected decks. modelled after the Japan
csc cruiser Yoshino, built by the Arm
strongs of England, which is similar in
general design TO the baltimore and Phlla-
delphia CT our own navy. They will cost
$,25O.OOO each. and at the present rate of
progress will be completed within eighteen
months. In case Of necessity, however,
they could be made ready for sea service
in much less time
Their dimensions are follows: Length
SW feet. extreme beam. ~ feet, and DIR ught
!! feet Z inches, with a displacement of
4,d6o tons. They are provided with all the
most modern improvements in naval archf-
lecture, and the hulls are divided into
water-tfght compartments by transverse
and longitudinal bulkheads. Their con-
tract speed Is 221s knots per hour, which is
sufhcient to enable them to overtake and
capture any merchantmen or weaker war
snip, or to escape from more formidable
zoe An eight-inch rifle forward and an
other aft, and five four-inch and five seven
inch guns, comprise the main batteries of
the ships, which are supplemented with
powerful secondary batteries of rapid-fire
guns and five torpedo tubes, located SO as
to do the most damage.
They are ships of the highest modern
type and would prove rich prizes for Uncle
Sam in the event of trouble with Japan
