READY FOR WAR.

The sentiment in favor of the Cuban
insurgents seems 20 be growing eye.y
day. In Washington the cause of the
insurgents is warmly .spoused. Yes
terday the Cameron resolution, which
the morning dispatches reported
would probably be introduced into the
Senate Monday, was the cause of
much comment. According to Secre-
tary of State Olney, this resolution
practically means war with Spain.
There is no danger or probability that
war with Spain will in the least affect

Toronto, Feb 1T Shiota Of
Japan arrived in the city last
evening. The japanese Mail
Steamship Company are having
constructed twelve fine ocean
steamers to ply between japan
and European ports via the Straits
of Malacca and the Suez Canal.
Ten of these vessels are being
constructed at British dockyards
and the other two are to be built
at the Misu Biski dockyards, and
Mr. Shiota, as chief engineer, is
on his way to Glasgow to study
the work that is going on at the
Scotland yards. The building of
these two boats in a japanese port
will constitute a great departure,
for never yet has a big steamboat
been built by an Eastern nation.

Lamp novelties are new to
Honolulu-new to the United
States until smart French
man employed at the factory
conceived the idea of building
for oil what others had done
for candles.
Look at the illustrations in
the accounts of swell dinners
and you will find beautifully
designed candelabra-a year
ago they were for candles
now for lamps. You will find
the same thing in our Eva
window and no other shop has
thcm-no other dealer handles
thea as we do, because our
buying methods are modern.
Sos our selling methods. You
can get banquet candelabra
lamp at our store for about
what you pay for a single burn
er in some places. That's the
difference in the methods.
You are interested in those
lamps even if you burn electro
city-the table can be elaborated
with flowers and lamps-dish-
es come under the head of
necessities"
Half the pleasure of night
wheeling is in having a good
lamp. Policemen are alert to
find a man taking dark ride
sometimes the light jolts out
and the rider finds himself
without a match. No such
trouble with the Banner bicy-
Gle lamp-it is made to burn
and stand hard knocks.

A small Blaze.

A retired navigator coming
down to his usual haunt on the
city front this morning attempted
to b. light a cigar in a half a gale
of wind. After using up near q
whole box of matches, he succeed
ed in getting flame from one of
the wax sticks. In his haste to
fire his cigar, he set his whiskers
ablaze. He Immediately became
SO excited that he shouted, "AIl
hands on deck ! Fire in the rig
ging ! Lively everybodyw just
then a hackman with q pail of
water for his horse appeared. The
jehu seeing the mariner afre, was
about to throw the pail of water
over him, but a sudden gust of
wind whistled through the whis
kers with such force that the blaze
was extinguished. The navigator
then tackled for the docks, and
related the story of his mishap to
e crowd of sympathetic listeners.

THE JAPANEsE MEETING
Mr.. Shiozawa Tells Of the Good
Advice Given Him.

AS far as carrying out the pur-
poses for which the mass meeting
of japanese was called last even
ing, the assemblage at the hall
over Luce's auction rooms was a
complete failure. There were be-
tween two and three hundred Jap
anese present, also few whites.
In calling the meeting to order,
Mr.. Shiozawa stated that although
the meeting was called for the
purpose of expressing their opini-
on of the action of the Govern
ment in the matter of the Shin
shu- Maru's immigrants, he had
been requested by the attorneys
for the Japanese to await the de-
cision of the Court before ex.
pressing any opinion or further
agitating the matter. He had
been advised that it was their duty
to abide by the decision of the
Court and say nothing until it
was rendered. He tbereupon ad
journed the meeting, but said any
one in the audience would be
given a hearing who wished to
speak.
Rev. Mr.. Takino took advantage
of the offer. He said be was on 3
of the Shinshu Maru's passengers
who had been allowed to land.
After telling how well he had
been treated at the quarantine
station, he advised the meeting to
follow the good advice of the at
torneys,
Two or three others addressed
the audience hut what they said
was of no public interest.

SIR ALFRED MILNER.
The New, Governor of Cape Colony Is
a Young Man.

The New Governor of Cape Colony Is
Young Man.
Sir Alfred Miner, who succeeds Lord
Rosemead as governor of Cape Colony
and high commissioner of South Africa,
is a rather young man for such an i'm
portant post. He is not yet A, but his
career has been one of brilliant success
es in the service of the British public.
Sir Alfred is said to have made a deep
impression on Mr.. Goschen in a debate
at Oxford while Miner was still an I'M
dergraduate. Mr.. Goschen is said to
have remarked that Miner was the first
undergraduate he ever heard talk like
a statesman. After leaving the universe
ty Mr.. Miner entered the field of jour
nalism and associated himself with Mr.
Stead on the Pail Mall Gazette. He with
drew from that journal to become Mr..
Goschen's private secretary, and in 1889
he entered the Egyptian service. In
the reorganization of the Egyptian
finances he played an important part,
and his book on Egypt was at once ac-
cepted as the standard vindication of
the control which Great Britain saw fit

born. When he was lad his father
sent him to Italy for his education,
and he entered the navy as a youth.
By hard work, attention to duty and
innate capacity, Canavaro rose through
all the grades in the service until he
reached his present high position. He
is just 50 years old, and it was owing
to his seniority that he was chosen by
the admirals in Cretan waters to COM
mand the combined fleets. Canavaro
has seen some good service in the Ital-
ian navy. He passed with credit through
the wars of 1859, 1901 and 1856, and
was in command of the Cristoforo Co
lombo on that ships noted voyage of
circumnavigation of the globe. The
Canavaros are distinguished South
American family. He has one brother
who is the Peruvian minister to Italy.
Another brother was Peruvian minis
ter at Washington for three years not
long ago, and returned to become vice
president, but was stopped by a revOlu-
ton. Gen. Canavaro, father of the
family, was mayor of Lima in 1891.
When Prince Louis of Italy visited
Peru he was entertained with Il lavish
feast at the Canavaro plantation and
was greatly pleased with Peruvian hos
pitality. The admiral is now command

and they were stated in general way
to have spoken their own Yiddisl-ex-

they used English. Our oaths appear to
be simpler and stronger than those OF

coarser, are too elaborate. They swear,
not in words, but in sentences. The
same may be said Of italian excavations
French oaths are failure. They beat Us
