was the author, and which will be OF
inestimable value to the future Jap
anese historian. Mutsu was in the
forefront of the constitutional move
ment and he and the Marquis Ito were
the leaders in mOlding the empire into
its present firm and modern form. His
services were of incalclIlal'la good dur
ing the late Chinese war. At the end
of that conflict he was a member of
the peace convention that framed the
treaty which left Japan with many
great political and commercial advan-
tages that it did not formerly possess.
Early in life Mutsu did much travelling.
He spent year in Germany during the
war. After the fall
of the Shogunnite regime Mutsu lost
much of his hOnOrs and estate. and in
1889 came to America and Europe to
study educational methods. He was

Of late the telephone has been utfl-
fed to a considerable extent in legal
proceedings. Affidayits have been
sworn to, Acknowledgements have been
taken, and in one case at least testi-
mony has been received by telephone.
This last innovation must be credited
to Fort Scott. Kas., where two wit
nesses, described as prominent busi-
ness men, were permitted to give evil
dence in this manner, the attorneys
stipulating that no objection should be
taken to this unusual proceeding. An
other case that has attracted unusual
attention is reported from New York,
where an affidavit which had been tele-
phoned from Cincinnati and acknowl-
edged over the wire was accepted in
the Supreme Court as sufficient ground
for the issuance Of an attachment in
yolving considerable sum of money.
The proceedings were unusual and in,
teresting. The facts We're telephoned
from Cincinnati over a long-distance
telephone line, an affidavit was pre-
red at the New York end of the line
and read to the complainant, who was
standing at the telephone in Cincinnati,>
where in the presence Of witnesses he
made the required acknowledgement.
1t was still necessary to have some one
in New York talk with the complainant
and positively identify his voice. This
was done, the papers were filed and
the attachment issued The interested
parties announced that several days
delay had been avoided by utilizing the
telephone. and by this prompt action it
was possible to have Judgment salts
fed which it might have been difficult
otherwise to accomplish. Many i'm
portant transactions have hinged upon
telephone messages, and the courts

Mrs. John A. Logan denies that she
IS heading an expedition Of women to
the Klondike region and in a most en-
phatic manner denounces those who
have without her permission connected
her name with it. She says she is con-
Stantly being made use Of in this way
and is tired Of it. Mrs. Logan is exact
ly right. 1t is sheer and inexcusable
impudence which leads women who are
behind some scheme for their own ben
eft, to levy, as it were, upon those of
their sex who occupy place of prom
inence and others should follow Mrs.
