.JAPAN'S CLAIM
Believed $4,000 Gold is to Be
Voted in Settlement.
lis UP AGAIN.

The claim of the Japanese Govern
ment against this country arising out of
the turning away here of immigrants
from the land of the Mikado and the
chrysanthemum, is to be settled at
once. In all likelihood the matter Will
be arranged and the incident closed for
good and all at a meeting of the Coun-
ell of State called for this afternoon.
There is a freshness yet to the facts
in the case. Japanese to the number
of more than 1000, were denied admit
fanoe TO the Republic by the enforce
ment or the Interpretation of one of
the immigration regulations. The is
sue went to the courts and then be-
came the subject of diplomatic CORES
pOndence. Letters were exchanged up
to the point of this Government sug-
gesting arbitration, when Japan asked
for indemnity. For months prior to
the very recent departure of the Jap
aneSe Minister from these shores it
was eXpect6d-in some quarters at
Ieast-that the Minister would address
the Hawaiian office further on the dis
pute. But he gave the surface indi-
cation Of allowing the Government
here the last word. This was only a
surface sign, for it is now known that
another tack was being followed by
the alert and determined japanese rep
resentative to the Islands.
Minister Shimamura, at the capital
of Hawaii, had sent some notes and
enclosures to Minister HOshi at the
capital of the United States. Minister
HOshi must have been saying some
thing quietly to the State Department
at Washington. At any rate it is
understood here that the administra-
ton at Washington has requested the
Hawaiian Government as at present
constituted, to get this difference with
Japan out of the way.
If what has been learned by the Ad-
vertiser is correct, the Council of
State will this day be requested to
make an emergency appropriation of
S75, 900 gold (yen 100000 for the pur-
pose of effecting a settlement with the
Government of Japan in the well
known affair of turning back the immI-
grants from Yokohama and vicinity.

Learning BY Sight.

Danton, the celebrated caricaturist, had
a wonderful power of modelling from
memory. After one long look at his SUBJ
ject he could go to his studio and make
bust quite perfect in its resemblance.
One day young man came to him,
saying that his sister was i'll and about to
die, and that, although the family wished
her bust modelled, they dared not excite
her by mentioning 1t. Would he under
take to reproduce her features after seeing
her oncef Dapton agreed, and next day
the brother informed his sister that he In
tended to present her with some jewels,
and that a young man would bring some
specimens for her approval.
Danton brought in the jewels, and 60
ing home modelled bust of striking re-
semblance. Next year an old gentleman,
the father of the young woman, came to
order bust of the brother, who also had
died. This, too, was a marvellous success.
The result of such planning, however,
was not always as satisfactory to his pa
irons as In these cases. A gentleman who
could not persuade his wife to sit asked
Danton to enter n certain omnibus one
day and fix In his memory the features OF
the lady opposite him.

How Cavalry Horses Are Selected For
the United States Army.


happened to be at the Preside not
long since when the contractor for furnish
ing cavalry horses to the government sub
mitted several animals to a board of army
officers detailed to make the final inspec-
ton. OF the horses presented only one
was rejected, and that was on account OF
o cold brought about by exposure TO drafts
while i'm transit from the point of prelim-
mary inspection to san Francisco
A preliminary inspection is made at the
place where the contractor purchases the
animals by representative of the govern
mcnt, who generally accompanies the con-
tractor on his horse purchasing trips, thus
avoiding tho ,cpcnse of buying horses
which arc su! 10 be subsequently rejected
for various detects. At the preliminary
inspection few first class many fair and
a superabundanco of indifferent and medi-
ocre horses are presented. The contractor
informed me that about one OF every 30
examined at the preliminary inspection
comes up to the requirements; that Inc had

ideal commonwealth, which he confident

of which Chancellor Kent said, in a Phi

President Stiles was not a large man,
nor had he an imposing presence. But he
loved to wear big wig much becurled
and was fond of ceremony. Though n
prolific writer, he published little, but left
forty odd bound volumes of manuscripts,
which are preserved at Yale.
