Shot q Bullet Through Five Men.
This is a remarkable story in proof
of the deadly effect of the new Mann
licher rife, as shown by an extraor-
binary occurrence at the summer re-
sort of Podhorz, near Prague. While
dancing was going on in the big room
of country inn, two gendarmes en-
tered the inn on their round, and sat
down in little room apart with the
door closed. They leaned their Mann
licher rifles in a corner. One of the
rifles slipped and fell. The ball went
through the wooden door, struck q
musician sitting beyond, and passed
through the bodies of five of his com
panions sitting in line with him. The
first man was killed and the others seri-
ously wounded. If the story were not
| well authenticated one would be re-
minded of Baron Manchauseh.-N. Y.

AMERICANS IN JAPAN.
Their Status VIII Hereafter He the
Same that of Japanese in
This Country.

Henceforth the status of Americans
in Japan will be precisely that of Jap
anese in the United States. Formerly
Americans domiciled in Japan who
committed offenses against inhabitants
of that country were tried in American
consular courts, and when guilty were
punished in accordance with American
law. Japanese creditors had to go into
the consular courts to recover their just
claims against American citizens. The
civilized nations of Europe and America
have always insisted that their citizens
should not be amenable to the laws. es-
pecially the criminal laws. of semi
civilized Asiatic countries, whose judi
cial methods are painfully primitive
and whose punishments are barbarous.
Those countries have submitted to this
discrimination because they could not
help themselves. The Japanese have
made so much progress in the arts of
civilization that these privileges of ex
Internationally enjoyed by foreigners
became exceedingly offensive to them
They contended that their jurispru-
ence was patterned after that OF Eu-
pean could get as fair trial in their
courts as before their respective con-
suls. Several foreign governments
looked into the matter, satisfied them
selves that there was reason to believe
these statements were correct, and
agreed to waive these Objectionable
privileges. In return the entire in
terror of Japan is opened to foreign
residents and trade. Americans can
go wherever they please and enjoy in
Japan all the rights and privileges
Japanese do in the United States. How
the new system will work remains to be
seen. Presumably the Japanese courts
will treat foreigners fairly. Should
they fail to do so then there will be an
| immediate demand for a return to the
old Observation-Disclosures Tribune
