THE TERN JAP"

We acknowledge the receipt of the
following courteous letter from gem
tleman living in Kobe, Japan:
Kobe, Japan, Jan. 4, 1900.
Editor Advertiser: Allow me TO in
troduce myself by stating that have
been a teacher of the English language
to Japanese students for upwards OF
five years.
Your useful journal is well known
and read in Japan, and feel sure you
would be the last man to hurt the
feelings of any of your readers.
The term Jap" is very repugnant to
all japanese, and to the friends of Jap
anese. The term has long been dis
carded by the best papers of Europe
and America, and / have Informed my
Japanese friends that l believe you
would be only too glad to discontinue
the Objectionable term if the matter
be brought to your notice.
Trusting you will kindly feel dis
posed to insert this letter in your val
liable paper, believe me, very sincerely
yours, GEORGE BUM.
The term Jap" is sometimes used in
a headline because there is no room in
the regulated space for the full word
hut it is never intended to reflect upon
the Japanese people. Nor is it when
colloquially used in the phrase, "a jar
coolie." The Japanese people are un-
duly sensitive on this point, as they
are regarding the use of the word, ma
tive" when applied to them. An Amer.
lean does not object to saying either
that he is Yankee--a term equiva.
lent to "Jap'-or that he is native
of the United States; but if he speaks
of a japanese as either a Jap" or /;
native" the latter takes offence.
is sign of uneasy constituencies among
the people of a newly arrived civiliza
ton.
Not all Japanese, however, dissen
from the abbreviated cognomen.
our correspondent will ask the Japan
csc president of the Nippon Yusen Kai
sha or of the Togo Kisen Kaisha-w
don't remember which-for a copy @
the pamphlet he published three year
ago and circulated widely in the Unite
States, he will find the descriptiv

official. corporate publication. it pre-
sents a better mark for our Kob
friends than the occasional abbrevia

DIAMOND HILL SEIZED.

LONDON, June 15.-5:16 p. m.-The
war Office has received the following
dispatch from Lord Roberts:
Pretoria, June 15.-As / telegraphed
yesterday from n of our outposts.
fifteen miles east of Pretoria. the Beers
evacuated their position during the
night of June II. They paid so much
attention to strengthening their TANKS
that their center was weakly held. and
as soon as this became evident on June
II | directed Ian Hamilton TO attack,
He moved against Diamond Hill with
the Suffolks, Derbyshires and City Inn
perial Volunteers supported on the left
by the guards brigade under lingo
Jones.
1T vas grand. seeing the way our
men advanced over the difficult ground
and under heavy fire.
THE casualties, / am thankful TO
say, were less than 100, a very small
number considering the natural
strength Of the position which had to
be carried.
Our seizure of Diamond Hill caus-
ed the Beers t feel they were practic-
ally surrounded and this resulted in
their hasty retirement. They were
being followed yesterday by some of
our mounted corps"
The rest of Lord Roberts dispatch
deals with the casualties and Gen.
Baden-Powellis movements in west
ern Transvaal, where Baden-Powell,
with 500 men is Systematically re-es-
tablishing order and collecting arms
and supplies. About 500 Beers have
surrendered and Baden-Powell captur-
ed 230 prisoners.
According TO Baden-Powells re-
port the Beers will readily dis
cuss terms of surrender and they all
appreciate the work of paciication per-
formed by his troops.

be necessary TO nominate Senator Fair
banks. In such an event it is believed
by those who know the Senator's party
loyalty that he would accept.
1t has beer suggested that he win
make the speech placing Mckinley in
nomination, but so far no such arrange
ment has been made. The fact that
the name OF Bartlett Trip viii be
placed before the convention for Vice
President is not allowed to be hidden
by the energetic men of the Pacific
coast who are in charge of his inter-
ests.
The Republican National Commftte
to-day put in three long sessions on
the contests which have been brought
before it and adjourned late tonight
with all of the controversies practi-
cally disposed of except that from Del
aware. This has been referred back to
the subcommittee with instructions 20
again endeavor to bring the factions to

final action tomorrow. An important
action to-day was the seating of the
Brownlow delegates in the Tennessee
contest and refusing admission to the
friends of Pension Commissioner
Evans. The contest was very bitter
and at one time there was the posi-
hilitu Of q capint1c bo+-a1-x
Brownlow and Evans.
Quite the most interesting feature OF
the day was the speech of Senator Han
ma in the Delaware case. Senator
Hanna is earnestly anxious to harmon
ize the factions in Delaware and his
speech before the committee to-day
urging another attempt at agreement,
showed his feelings in the matter.
The action of the committee in the
various contests has caused it to be
generally remarked that it has not
been influenced in the least by the
leaders. Senator Hanna's friends from
the South, especially the o~ficeholders,
have received scant consideration.
Where there were rival factions of
officeholders, in Alabama, both sides
have been denied seats. The defeat of
Wimberly in Louisiana and the eleva-
ton of Yarmouth is said to have been
Distinctly Antasonistic
to the wishes of the close friends of
the administration as Wimberly was
sustained by the administration in the
fight that was made against his con-
firmation when he was appointed coll
lector of the port of New Orleans. 1t
was in opposing this confirmation that
Yarmouth took occasion to make some
bitter remarks about Senator Hanna,
who was supporting Wimberly. In the
New York case it is asserted that the
decision was against Senator Platt and
other cases are instanced by members
of the committee as examples of indie
pendent action.

MISS TERRY IS SAFE.

NEW YORK, June 15.-In response to a
cablegram sent a few daye ago by Dr.. A.
B. Leonard, secretary of the missionary
society of the Methodist Episcopal
church, asking after the safety of mis-
sionaries, the following was received to-
day from Tien Tsin:
'Tsunhaus safely arrived here. Shan
Tung is ordered to Chin Giang. Pekin
is very dangerous state. Chinese army
is quite uncertain"
The first sentence of the above dis
patch disposes of the rumor circulated a
day or two ago that Miss Terry had been
murdered. 81 was at Tsunhaus, and all
the missionaries there have, it appears,
arrived safely at Tien Tsin. Chin Kiang
is on the Yang Use river. about 200 miles
above Shanghai. The Shan Tung mis-
sionaries will go there if they can.

KLERKsDoRP SURRENDERED.

LONDON, June 15.-11:05 a. m.-The
war Office issues the following dis
patch from Lord Roberts:
PRETORIA, Residency, June A.
10:40 p. m.-Klerksdorp surrendered
on June 9th, to an armed party sent
on by Hunter.
Kitchener reports that the Beers
attacked a reconstruction train early
this morning a few miles north OF
Rhenoster river. He sent out mounted
troops and drove off the enemy before
they could do damage. One man was
killed and eleven wounded, including
two officers.
"A messenger from Klerksdorp re-
ports that Cronje, who commanded
there determined TO surrender as soon
as he knew for certain that Pretoria
was in our possession. His example
has been copied by many in the neigh
borhood."
