The old edict of Japan read as fol-
lows: $50 long as the sun shall warm
the earth, let no Christian be so bold as
to come to Japan, and let all know that
the King of Spain himself, or the Chris
tian's God, or the Great God of all, if he
violates this command, shall pay for it
with his head" The recent constitution
provides and affirms as follows: Jap
anese subjects shall, within limits not
prejudicial to peace and order, and not
antagoniStic to their duties as subjects
enjoy freedom of religious belief"

The advance guard of the army of
foreigners invading Paris for the ex-
position has made its entry, and a very
large proportion Of them are Ameri-
cans. Every moment of the day one
now sees cabs flying about the boule-
wards loaded with Saratoga trunks,
while the familiar American accent is
heard in restaurants and other places
of popular resort. The hotels are al
ready filling up, and the prices of every
thing are rising. In fact these first
arrivals form a sort of a forlorn hope
on whom the hotel and shopkeepers are
experimenting with increased charges
Not only the visitors, but permanent
residents are beginning to feel the bur-
den of the advanced rates. which most
of the hotels have so raised, that the
regular guests are obliged either to
leave or accept other accommodations.
Those who are unfortunate enough to
have only monthly leases on their
apartments have been notified that
their rents will be doubled for six
months after the opening of the exposi-
ton. The cab drivers have an eye on
greater wealth, and are trying to ar
range with the government for in.
creased fares.
At the exposition itself everything is
hustle and confusion. Heavy teams
line the streets waiting to deposit their
loads of exhibits. The American ex-
hibitors are finding themselves serious
ly handicapped in preparing for the in
stallation, owing to the unexpected con-
gestion on the railways between Havre
and Paris, and also on the tracks within
the exposition grounds. There is a
continual struggle between representa-
tives of every nation to get cars in the
grounds, but the French people hold the
key to the situation, and take good care
that their own cars are taken to their
exhibit space and unloaded before those
of the United States and other nations.
Russia and Belgium are the only coun-
tries favored.

For months there has been an alb
normal demand for houses of all kinds
In Wallace, and the early coming of
spring has given a start to building.
1t is usually month or two later than
this before much building car be done.
Those in a position to build were gen.
orally unprepared for commencing so
early, so thus far there is little done
In the way of residences except to pre-
pare.
Both the Canyon Creek Electric Light
Company and the Wallace Manufactur-
ing Electric and Water Company are
making heavy increases 10 their plants.
The Canyon Creek company Is putting
in a 100 kilowatt monocycle generator,
together with transformers, arc lamps
and various other improvements which,
when completed, will more than double
the capacity of the plant. The Wallace
company Is making much the same
kind of improvements, but on larger
scale.

Dallas, Tex, April l0.-Reports received
from the flood sections show that more
than 80 lives have been lost, including
those at Austin. Many of the localities
where the lives were lost are off the rail
road and telegraph lines.
Wires in the southern section are in a
worse condition than ever before. Rail
road traffic of the southern half of the
state is abandoned.
Austin, Tex, April l0.-Reports from
Bastrop, Fayette and Wharton counties,
on the Colorado river below, are to the
effect that the full force of the flood is
just being felt there Water is rising so
rapidly that the people are preparing to
desert their homes with all possible speed
to protect their lives.
Reports from Bastrop state that u peo-
pie were drowned there during the night.
In Wharton and Fayette counties the
situation Is even more grave and it is eX-
pected that yesterdays flood in that sec
ton will not only pile up the immense
property loss, but that the list of lives
lost will be considerable.

William Wenke was literally torn to

London, April lot is known that in
addition to millions expended from Sep
TENDER to April, the British army will re,
quire more than 60O00OOO pounds during
the next II months, and that will not in
clude the transport from South Africa
back to England. All estimates Tor ships,
horses, forage and food supplies appear
unduly heavy, and it is an open secret
that rates of contractors have been abnor-
mally RICH. Probably there has been no
way out of it in the sudden emergency of
war, but there is frank admission by mill
tary experts in and out of parliament that
England is paying too much for sea trans
port of freight, food stuffs, military stores
and forage, and that contractors are max
ing immense fortunes out of the business
OF war. The market is stripped and trad
ers dictate their own terms and are fat
tening upon army rates.
