The answer was conclusive, and to-
day Japan, through her efforts to pro-
mote the welfare OF her own people by
the establishment of enlightened laws
and liberal institutions, reaps the re-
ward of an equal place among West
ern nations 1t is result upon which
she should be heartily congratulated,
by none more heartily than by the
people Of this country, which has al
ways, we may say without boastful-
ness, been a conspicuously sincere and
consistent friend of Japan.

HISkER EOk THE SOLDIERS.
The Government Gives Them Special
Rate of Interest on Savings.

FROM me ". LOniS GtOLe- DsMOcrdf.
1t is not we'll known perhaps, but a fact never
thclraS that Uncle sam is paying higher rat"
81 interest to his soldier boys than On the last
bond issue. And how many have an idea 10
what this interest amounted the past year. Al
most S5O.OOO
This interest 4 per cent is paid on deposits
and only To enlisted men, Officers with straps
are excluded. Any soldier not retired. may de
post his savings with any paymastcr in sums
not less than 81 This he may do at any time
but once deposited it must remain until expiration

same Office an abstract Of deposits, where com
Parsons are made and discrepancies corrected,
During the past year the record II depositing

this feature Of soldiers deposits has caused the
Department 10 open its eyes in wonder for the
great record 81 last year promises 10 be vastly

high as 81 800 900 which will mean 500 900
interest and many expect the amount Of deposits
there 10 reach nearly 50 900 900 One reason
for this anticipated increase iS that there re more
soldiers Of the dcpoSitinG class than last year
That is, there are NOR" regulars" And even
the new volunteers NAV almost be- included in
the same category for they realize that they arc
in for at least two years while the volunteers last
year knew their term OF service would be brief
consequently had no desire or incentive to de
post For this reason the deposits were almost
exclusively confined 10 regulars" Therefore
under the new status, il is not difficult to per
celvr that the amount Of deposits will increase to
a great degree. In some companies over half
the members are now dcpoSitng and il is believed
the fever will spread al least in the Philippines
and other distant possessions, until In the nca
future almost every member will bc depost0r.
The benefit Of this To the soldier can readily bc
seen, but it means a heap Of interest Yet there
will hardly bc any complaints on that score
There is a new condition Of things, however,
which may have tendency to decrease the amount
OF deposits. Last Congress provided for what
are known as alotmcnts. which will enable a
soldier to arrange so that a certain amount ot
his pay each month can be paid Ia mis- wife or
parents or whomSOevcr he may nominate This

DUST BROCGHT FROM AFiR.

Carried on the Wings of the Air from the

Some years ago, the villagers in n town near

many witnesses 10 tell OF the strange occurrence
that there could bc no doubt Of the accuracy Of
the story. Some months elapsed before the re-
markablc phenomenon was explained. II was
learned at last that some farmers near the north
crn coast OF Morocco had been thrashing wheat
with fails when suddenly tornado swept over
the ground and carried all the wheat and chaI
on the thrashing cloth into the air. The cloth
was swept clean though the wind storm was not

seemed to he no doubt that the fall Of wheat in

nadO had played the Moroccan farmers the grain

ranean before 1t was dropped {" the earth.
A somewhat similar phenomenon has recently
been observed further east Of the Mediterranean

BRIDGE WRECK.
Four Men Killed and Six Injured, One
of Whom Can Not Live.
Twenty-Five or Thirty Men Were On the
Structure at the Time of the Col
lapse-Many of Them Wers
Carried Down in Wreck.

New YORK, April 12.-The temporary
superstructure of the big Willis ave-
nue. bridge now being built over the
Harlem river collapsed Tuesday after
noon, killing four men and seriously
injuring six, one of whom may die.
Twelve or more other workmen also
received injuries of a more or less seri-
Gus nature.
The accident occurred at 2:3O o'clock
and was caused by too great weight
being put on the travelling derrick
that crossed the superstructure.
The superstructure connected the
north shore sustaining wall with a
pier and was f1imsy affair stretching
500 feet across deep water,
built in three sections, one above
another to height of about 60 feet.
Over this massive travelling crane or
carrier was operated. Twenty-Five to
80 men were employed on the struc-
ture when the collapse occurred. A
heavy load of steel beams was being
sent on the crane when the timbers
gave way and the entire structure
went down with a crash.
AS the supporting timbers began to
give, the heavily laden crane ran rap
idly forward for short distance and
toppled into the river. AS it went
down, the upright crashed into the
working men, striking the Delanys
and Beattie, killing them instantly and
terribly mangling their bodies.
Many of the men were carried down
in the wreck.

THEY CUT OFF THEIR QUEUES.
1t stopped the Chinese From LOOtinS
After the Filipino Insurgents EvaC-
uated the Towns.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The incom-
ing mails from Manila bring many
queer stories conn ected with the war
now in progress between the United
States troops and insurgents. When
Macarthur led the first onslaught to
the north upon the insurgent strong
hold the United States military com
manders were amazed at the extent of
the looting practices by the non-com-
batants. The Chinese took leading
part in this lOoting, beginning it be-
fore the retreating insurgent forces
were fairly out of town. They APP
parently had no conception of the enor-
nifty of their offence and it had
been reluctantly concluded to shoot
some of these Chinese hooters for the
sake of example, when a young officer
cut off the queues of a dozen Chinese,
who had been taken red handed, the
looting stopped and the Chinese disap.
peared as if by magic from the whole
province.

QUAY'S DEFENSE OUTLINED.
The Senator Himself Alleged Victim of q
Conspiracy Sensational Testi"
mOny Given Tuesday.

PHILADELPHIA, April Ex-senator NJ.
S. Quay's trial for alleged conspiracy
and misuse of the states money was re-
sumed Tuesday morning. EX-District
Attorney Barlow, receiver of the Peo~
pies bank, who was on the stand when
court adjourned Monday, gave impor.
tant testimony. He said that when he
opened Cashier Hopkins desk
there were present in Peoples
bank special officer whose
name he didn't remember; A. L. Taber,
receiving teller of the bank, and a
bank janitOr. This is important be-
cause the defense endeavored to show
that it was eX-JUdge Gordon who di-
rected that the desk be opened, their
desire being to prove that the prosecu-
ton was the result of a conspiracy
against Quay.
Barlow identified the books and pa
pers which were found in Hopkins
desk. There was considerable fitting
by the defense at this point. The OBJ
ject was to get Barlow to admit that
a number of the banks books were
missing. The object of the defense in
this was to prepare the way for an
other link in their conspiracy against
