JAPAN HUNTING TROUBLE.

The following news from Japan seems
from serious attack of swelled head:
"If the stories told by the passengers
and crew of the steamship City of Pekin,
which arrived here from Hong Kong via
Honolulu Thursday evening, be true, a
demands the attention of the state de-
partment. When the City of Pekin ar.
rived at Honolulu the attention of the
passengers on board that steamer was
attracted by the remarkably symmetrical
movements of ia Japanese steersge pas
sengers who were disembarking.
although classed as laborers, their we'll
drilled and military appearance was too
palpable to escape observation, and occa-
stoned considerable comment. The Jap
anese were apparently under the COM
mand of q veteran sergeant, and divided
into squads of 20 under noncommisioned
officers. During the voyage military
discipline was observed which created
comment among the other steerage pas
sengers and steamers Grew, and many
onjectures were hazarded as to the mean
ing of their being shipped to the islands.
It was generally believed that they were
sent to the islands for the purpose of
forcibly resisting annexation if neces-
sary.
"Rumors of the presence of the Mikado's
soldiers are not new on the islands, and
it is said that over 1000 well-drilled men
have already been landed there, and
about 400 veterans of the Japan China
war are expected upon the next steamers
The recent victory of the Japanese
over the Chinese will be costly luxury
to them If they expect to win like vic
tories over Americans. 1t was an easy
matter for Japanese troops armed with
breech loading rifles, and rapid fire ar
tillery and reasonably we'll differed to
get away with bands of unorganized Chi
nese equipped with antiquated fire locks
spears, bows and arrows, and led by old
granniee, who knew no more of the art
of war than their mothers in the days of
Confucius.
1t would be pity to hurt such plucky
little semi barbarian as Japan. We don't
want to do it, but if she insists on pok
ing her nose into our business, she will
get such sound spanking as she will
never forget 1t is almost impossible to
treat this subject seriously, but it will be
serious matter for japan if she ever
brings Uncle Sans heavy hand down upon
her.

GRAY COSTUME.

tions. Different colors are frequently COM
bined in the same way, however. Revers
of white silk or satin, or rose colored re-
vers, embroidered or covered with applioa-
tions, yellow ones and still others orna-
ment fashionably jackets and gowns Of
beige, mastio or pale gray.
Blue is still enjoying great vogue and
will continue to do so. The great majority
of hats have shown it's influence this sea
son, and now it has extended its domain
over gowns. All shades are employed,
but the ones characteristic of the style are
clear and decided in tint. Blue used to
be rightfully considered an unserviceable
color, susceptible to injury and changing
on slight provocation, but an improve
ment in dyes has lately been effected which
renders it quite as reliable us other colors,
more SO perhaps than brown or pink,
which is apt to fade rapidly. Blue and
white in combination will be stylish.
The illustration given today shows a
costume of old silver gray cloth. The
skirt is surrounded by three sets of hori
zontal bands Of dark gray velvet and sill
yer braid. The blouse bodice, which has
n very short basque, is belted in with gold
satin, studded with enamel and steel but
tons The bodice is trimmed with appli-
nations of gray velvet and silver cord and
with silver buttons 1t hns valois collar
of gold satin opening over plastron Of
guipure over gold lining The hat of
gray felt is trimmed with bow of plated
gray taffeta and yellow quills.

BLACK COSTUME.

narrowness or shortness, and no matter
how large a shoe is the foot is confined If
the leather is stiff, impermeable and un-
yielding.
Glace kid gloves, SO fashionable for sew
eral years past, are to take an inferior po-
sition again in favor of suede, but they
are by no means abandoned as yet. The
real reason of the sudden rise into favor Of
glace gloves was doubtless the fact that
white gloves became fashionable for call
ing and street wear, and as white suede
can be worn but once while glace kid can
be cleaned at home and worn repeatedly
the superiority Of glace gloves became at
once obvious. Now that white is being
superseded by colors again suede is regain
ing its vogue.
The picture shows a costume Of black
satin. The skirt has a demitrain and is
trimmed with lines of jet passementerie
outlining the tablier and surrounding the
foot of the skirt above the three very mar
row, scant rutfies that edge it. The point
ed bodice is close fitting at the back, open
ing in front over a plastron covered with
scant satin ru1fles. The bodice is embroid-
cred with jet and has pointed yoke and
epaulets of jet. The close sleeves are also
jet embroidered and have five scant ruf1les
at the top. The hat of black velvet is trim
med with black ostrich plumes and a jet
buckle JUDO CHOLLET.

The Minneapolis Progress is authority
for the statement that the Invalid Aid So
ciety has not abandoned the project of
having the government turn the military
quarters in Santa Fe over to the society,
to be used as national sanitarium. The
society has been securing evidence and
information on the subject, and feel al.
most sure that congress will grant the re-
quest soon after assembling in December
Should the Fort Marcy scheme fail, then
it is quite certain that suitable location
for the sanitarium will be found in the
northwest where conditions are favorable.
Wherever the institution is located the
disease treated will be that of oonsump p
tion

NEW JERSEY seems to be progressing
backward. The proposed amendment to
the state constitution allowing women to
vote at school elections has been defeated
by an overwhelming vote. just why the
mothers of the children who attend the
public schools should not have voice in
their management is something the aver
age westerner cannot understand. In
many of the northern and western states
women vote at school elections and wher-
ever this privilege has been extended to
the frail sex the schools have been greatly
benefited. Not only are the courses of
instruction more thorough, but the moral
tone of the schools are higher and
stronger. When would-be directors and
teachers know that in order to secure
positions connected with the public
schools they have to come up to a GER
tain moral standard they generally strive
to reach the notch set, and the women
are not slow in bringing community
to realize what is expected of teachers
and directors.

The telegraphlc dispatches from Spe

The telegraphlc dispatches from Spain
indicate that crisis has arrived in the
affairs of that government. The min
istry of the country has resigned, the
very thing that has been prevented for
some time past by almost questionable
methods. Perhaps Uncle Sans attitude
on the Cuban war has had something to
do with the resignation; perhaps the peo-
Pile who have been bled of their wealth
and seen their sons sent to the sham bles
of Cuba have at last awaken to the
impositions that have been practiced
upon them. Who knowss Perhaps the
next move on the board will be to admin
lister threshing to Uncle Sam.

1.-THE WEEKLY CLARION" !"

OF course there's city papers here, but don It
git the time
To read dozen pages every day,
And them there pesky dailies air so chock-a-
block with crime
That they jest give me shivers anyway.
Pm pretty busy round the place. / can't be
settin down
And leavin all the chores and things to do,
But when The Weekly Clarion comes that's
printed in our town,
gin rally contrive to read her through.
Them dailies give yer "furrin news" and tell
yer all the woes
And troubles of the folks acrost the sea-
The Clarion tells what's happened to the folks
feller knows,
And that's the kin of news that pleases me.
"Victory's had n jubilee" Well, what of that9
She haint
No more to me than is the pope of Rome.
But "Luther Wixon gives his barn bran new
coat of paint"
Why, thunderation now you're gittin
homel
And, as to Cuba and Japan, I'd never care
darn
About the rows and squabbles that they've
had,
But l know Luther Wixon WE'LL b'gosh and
know the barn
And know it needed paintin mighty bad.
like to read can't Polly Hedge is visitin her
son,
And 'Judkin's sorrel mare is goin lame"
Of course knew it all before, but still it's
kinder fun
To see it in the paper, jest the same.
And there's the "poet's cornerl' Well, my
eldest darter, Liz,
Most alters heads the colyum with vurse,
And, though l haint no judge myself, I'm
told by them that is
That better poets than her are pretty scurse.
And p'raps, maybe, I'll set, yer know, readin
news out loud,
And down acrost the pages chance to squint
And see my name. And though, bgosh, /
hain't by no means proud,
Most any feller likes his name in print.
So, as say, seldom read them city papers
now.
Their editors and me is out of touch.
For scandals yes, and murders-those OF
strangers anyhow
They hain't the things that interest me much.
Maria cuts them journals up for patterns for
her gown.
The children they make pipe lights of 'em,
too,
But when Tho Weekly Clarion comes that's
printed in our town,
gin rally contrive to read her through.

THE Massachusetts RenuhlicRna did

The Massachusetts, Repu ublicans did one
sensible thing in their convention in Bos-
ton yesterday. One plank of the platform
adopted calls for more stringent lmmi
grafton and naturalization laws. The
laxity of these laws, as they now stand on
the statutes, is the cause of two thirds of
the labor troubles which vex the land at
the present time, and is largely respon-
sible for the low wages paid in the great
labor centers. Under the laws regulating
immigration hordes of ignorant laborers
have been brought to the country to com
pete with the native born workIngman,
resulting in the overcrowding of the ranks
of those who are dependent upon capital
for their daily bread, and capital general
ly buys In the cheapest market.
