1t is not yet time TO speak; but we
have the satisfaction of feeling that
thus far we have shared. 10 the best
OF our ability, in bringing about a bet
ter development in our political posi-
ton
The war with China marked a peri
cd in the progress of Japan, as we'll
as in the advance OF our work Very
soon after the outbreak of the Korean
disturbance in 1894, we saw then an
armed conflict with China was inevita-
bic. Indeed. the Kokumin Shimbun
was the very first paper to insist on
the necessity of sending troops TO the
Peninsular Kingdom, and throughout
the struggle we took every measure
in our power TO urge the nation to
carry it to a thoroughly successful and
satisfactory conclusion. In order to
furnish the people with full and accu-
rate reports of the military and naval
engagements, we despatched at various
times more than 20 special correspon-
dents TO different localities in the
arena of the war, the chief editor him
self accompanying the army first to
the general headquarters at Hiroshima
and then on TO the Liaotung Peninsu-
lar
1--WE have warned the people not to
be intoxicated by warlike achieve
ments, not to become self-conceited
and self-satisfied but to cultivate more
than even spirit of liberality towards
foreign nations, and to be mindful of
keeping due share in the progress of
the worlds civilization.
''Since, in order to meet the require
ments of the present situation, it is of
urgent necessity to we Japanese to be-
come fully acquainted with the affairs
of the civilized world, as we'll as to
make ourselves duly understood by the
public beyond the seas, special atten-
ton is being paid to the foreign rela-
! tiOns of our country in conducting the
| Kokumin Shimbun and the Kokumin-
| No-Tomo, and as an English edition of
| the latter, a monthly magazine, The
Far East was started in February of
| 1896. This is designed to be an or
gan for the free interchange of
thought between Japanese and for
| eigners, and is the only periodical in
a foreign language edited and publish
ed by our countrymen.

plished in the last decade is only the
beginning of what we hope to succeed

ELLIOTT'S ATTACK
The Ex-Professor's Action Dictated
by Malice

WASHINGTON, August 10.-The State
Department has made a formal answer
to charges pending against Commission
er j. W. Foster by Prof. Henry j. Elliott
in his letter to Assistant Secretary Day.
The statement says: Prof. Elliott is
not now nor has he been for several years
past, connected with the Smithsonian
Institution or any department of the
government. In 1890 he made a report
upon the seal islands as an agent of the
Treasury Department, but it was so full
of inaccurate statements, betrayed such
want of scientific knowledge, was so
hostile to the interests of the United
States, and was written in such a preju-
diced spirit that Secretary Blaine de-
clined to send it to Congress or allow it to
be printed.
From that time Prof. Elliott ceased
to have any connection with the govern
ment and the officials say he has lost no
opportunity to attack any step taken by
it on the subject, and to abuse all per-
sons having any official relation to seal
ing matters. His report was printed by
the British government and strongly re-
lied upon by the British counsel before
the tribunal to overthrow the position
of the United States.'

GOVERNOR BLACK IS BASTED
BY THE SoLoNS IN SESSION AT

Associated Press Special Wire.
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 1O.-Members
of the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science were still arriving
when the days session began. The gen
eral council, after a short session, ad-
journed until tonight.
The botanical branch elected officers
to fill the vacancies, j. ]. Davis of Racine,
Wis, being named president and F. F.
Woods of Washington, secretary.
Proceedings were enlivened by crit
cism of Governor Black by William H.
Hale, Phi. D., of Brooklyn, before the sec
tion of social and economic science. Dr.
Hale's subject was civil Service Re
FORM He said in part: Last year at
Buffalo l presented to the association
discussion of the currency question, and
later l had the satisfaction that the peo-
pie of the United States, by an emphatic
vote, adopted the view for which then
contended. At the same time a great
political party, holding what l regard as
sound views upon this question, was con-
vened for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for the governor of New York
and selected for this office young man.
This man, Frank S. Black, an alien of
the state by birth, and recent settler in
it, was destined to fill the chief execu-
tive office and to become the most bitter
and formidable opponent that the merit
system ever had.
Governor Black signalized his acces-
sion to office by embodying in his annual
message to the Legislature recommen-
dation that legislation be had that would
authorize the appointment of employees
in the civil service at the foot of the list
first, which is evidently forbidden by the
Constitution. The legislature had not
the temerity to carry out this audacious
sugge Stion, but near the close of the ses
sion they passed a bill, which the gov
ernor prepared, providing that examina-
tons for merit should be had by the civil
service commission and should count
only 80 per cent and that examna tions
for fitness should be held by persons
holding the power of making appoint
ments should also count SO per cent, and
that the total percentage of person ex-
amined should be ascertained by adding
the results of both examinations.
THE rules, when finally adopted, had
been so modified at Governor Black s
suggestion as to assist spoilsmen to the
full extent permitted by the Constitu-
| tion, If not more"

cents, whereas on Saturday fair to good
Western beef could be bought for Az to
