Barrymorc's Dilemma.

Maurice Barrymore was once in
London with a new piece which he
was anxious to have produced. He
had read 1t to a manager, and it had
been decided that he was to play
the leading role. About a week
after it was supposed to have been
definitely settled Barry received a
note from the manager asking him
to call. Barrymore called, and the
manager said: II like the piece, old
fellow, but ! don't see how I can
use you in the cast. Your beastly
American dialect won't do at all,
you know. They won't have it,"
well, that's strange" said Bar
rymore. "'They told ms on the other
side that they wouldn't have me on
account of my beastly English dia-
iect. What am | to do, give recita-

FINANCIALLY EMBARRASSED.
Japan Is in the Golden Clutches of
the ROthschiIds.


The dispatch, which we publish be
low, of the news brought by the steam
er Tacoma from Japan shows with what
rapidity that ambitious empire is going
to the dogs. 1t was proposed to coin
100000 of gold yens his year, but
the finance minister finds that they are
only able to coin 100000 yens. The
government is compelled to increase
the land tax. Of course it must, be-
cause the revenues of the country have
been reduced equally with the business
of the country by adopting the gold
standard. India had no difficulty in
paying 8O,OOO,OOO of gold interest in
London until she demonetized silver in
1893, since which time she has been 60
ing with great rapidity to what the
boys call the "demnition bow vows"
and borrowing money every year to
defray her ordinary expenses.
A few weeks ago we were informed
that Japan's revenues were 100000
yens short this year. This was an I'M
derestimate. It appears by the dis
patch published below that the govern
ment is compelled to borrow 100000
yens. At this rate of speed Japan will,
in a very short time, be in a bankrupt
condition similar to that of Portugal,
Spain, Italy, Austria and other pros
trate nations that have allowed the
English gold combination to control
their finances. Japan, with free silver,
became a formidable rival to England
and all the rest of the world in manu-
featuring. She also rose with marvel4
GUS rapidity to a frst-class position as
military power. Her fall has been
rapid She can now boast of bank
ruptcy and stagnation, the heritage Of
the doings of gang Of mercenary
wretches who sold their country to Eu-
ropean gold gamblers. Following is the
dispatch;
| Adviees from Japan by the steamer
Tacoma are as follows:

DEEP HOLES in THE OCEAN.
They Are Not Found in the Center
But Always Near Land.

They Are Not Found in the Center
But Always Near Land.
The deepest spots SO far sounded in
the ocean were found a year or two ago
by the surveying ship Penguin while re.
turning from the Tonga group to New
Zealand. In three places a depth ex.
ceeding 5000 fathoms was found. Til
these soundings were made the deepest
water found was to the northeast Of
Japan, where in 1874 the United States
steamer Tuscarora obtained a cast Of
4,655 fathoms.
The Penguin's soundings are 1922,
5,147 and 5,155 fathoms. The increase
is therefore 500 fathoms, or 5000 feet.
The soundings are separated from
one another by water much less deep,
and the holes may not be connected.
The distance from the two extreme
sOundings is $50 miles, Specimens of
the bottom were recoyered from the two
deeper soundings, and prove to be the
usual req clay found ID all the deepest
parts of the ocean.
These soundings afford additional
evidence of the observed fact that the
deepest holes are not in the centers of
the ocean, but are near land, as two of
them are within 100 miles of islands O!
the hernandez group, and the other
not far from a shoal.
Doubtless deeper depressions in The
bed of the sea are yet to be found, but
the fact that this sounding Of 10000
feet shows that the ocean contains de-
pressions below the surface greater
than the elevation of the highest
known mountains is worthy of record
