JAPAN NEEDS CAPITAL.


SAN FRANCISCO. May 6.-R. Kondo.
president of the Nippon YUKON Kaisha, one
of the leading steamship companies of ia

study of the methods of transportation by
rail and water lines. He will visit the Pa

coast from 1893 to 1895 ~justifes the predic-
tion," said he, that the. progress OF de-
velopment during the next five years will

A WORD OF EXPLANATION
POSITION OF ATTORNEY WATSON IN
THE CARNEGIE LITIGATION.
Denial of a Report ms to the Lawyer
and the IrOncla Agreement
Statement by Mr.. Johnson.

PHILADELPHIA, May Elm connection
with the formal d~iscontinuance. yesterday,
in the Pittsburg courts. of the suits brought
by H. c. Prick and his associates against
the Carnegie interests. Attorney John G.
Johnson, of this city, who was associated
with counsel for Mr.. Frick. submitted to
an interview to-day. in which he corrected
statements that have been published re-
garding the alleged ambiguous position oc-
cupied by David T. Watson, of Pittsburg,
one Of Mr.. Tricks attorneys. Mr.. Johnson
said:
THE two suits brought In the Common
Pleas. Of Allegheny county, Pennsylvania,
by H. C. Frick and others against the Car
negie Steel Company and others, were for
mally discontinued yesterday. They involved
very large amounts OF money and many
novel and interesting questions which I
must decline to discuss, but / do desire to
call attention TO a serious misrepresenta-
ton which some one circulated.
I'm various newspapers of this and other
States 1t has been said that Attorney David
I. Watson, OF Pittsburg. drew the ironclad
agreement OF 1887 for Carnegie Brothers
and Company, limited, and endeavored. In
so acting. TO show that the agreement
which he had drawn was Illegal.
This is wholly untrue. Mr.. Watson
agreed TO act with Mr.. McCook and myself
for Mr.. Frick. only upon the condition that
the validity of the 1887 agreement should
not be attacked. Mr.. Frick did not desire.
nor did we, in our bill, nor did We intend
10. on the trial. attack the validity of that
agreement.
ON the contrary, admitting the validity
OF that agreement. when made, Mr.. Watson
and ourselves bought, and advised. that
owing TO a series of events. beginning in
1892, and including the two new agreements
of 1889 and lSy7. with which Mr.. Watson
had nothing TO do. the contract OF 1887 had
been rescinded and abandoned, and Was not
in force in 1900. and for these and other rea-
sons. no one of which touched the validity
OF the contract OF 1851. that Mr.. tricks in
terest could not, as attempted. be taken
at book value. We preferred to let this APP
pear on the trial OF the case, and IL would
surely have been done.
"As the discontinuance OF the suits de-
prives us OF that opportunity. / think 1t
proper TO state the truth. as We all know 1t
TO be. The facts are just as / hav given
them"

A story of Life at Yale.

The college stories published by Charles
Scribner's Sons have attained a number
that make quite a little library, including
stories of life at different colleges for men
and women that can be read with pleasure
by all old ~collegians. Boys and Men; a
Story of Life at Yale" by Richard Hol-
brook. Is a recent addition 10 the list.
Against the background of what is proba-
bly, a true picture. full of atmosphere of
life at Yale, the author has brought into
relief the story OF now, -nder varied col
lege influences, several boys develop into
men. This serious purpose of the book as
a study of undergraduate character is re-
lieved by the variety and humOr of the
many college types portrayed, and by the
spirited descriptions OF episodes in the So
cial and athletic life of the university.
There are some fine girl characters in the
book, and altogether IL is q good story.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1900-05-07

The plan OF this book is unique. 1t takes
for a starting point seven abstruse ques-
TONS. viz. What is God? What is man?
What is meant by the Trinity? What Is
soul? What is right living? h is reli-
gion? What is heaven? Answers to these
questions are collected from many different
sources, ancient. modern. sacred, profane,
scriptural. philosophic, Christian and
pagan. These answers brought together and
given without note or comment make an
interesting and instructive symposium.
Following these is a collection of rare
hymns and one of short prayers. The book
contains much food for thought within a
small compass. Chicago: Herbert 5. Stone

GREAT NATIONALIST VICTORY.
Eight a Gained by the Party In
the Paris Elections.

the Paris Elections.
PARIS, May z, 2:15 a. m.-Although it was
fully recognized that the Nationalists in
tended to make a determined fight in all the
wards of Paris on the occasion of the NUM-
cipal elections held yesterday throughout
France, 1t was never seriously contem-
plated that their efforts would be crowned
with such success as is shown by the re-
suits, which must be recognized as dealing
a serious blow to the Republicans and
Radicals.
The results show fifty definite elections in
Paris. In thirty wards second ballots will
be necessary. The Nationalist nave gained
eight seats, five from the Republicans and
three from the Radicals. The successful
candidates include NM. Gaston-Mery, CALI,
lie Pelletier and Barillier.
The Republicans have secured eight seats,
including seven members of the old coun-
ell; the Radicals and Radical Socialists ten,
and the Conservatives eight.
In wards where second ballots are neces-
sary the Nationalist obtained the most
votes in eleven cases, but the total votes
polled by their competitors was higher
than the number obtained by them.

The story which gives the title to this
volume is one of ten stories of Irish peas

writes good stories of their kind, portray

humor mingled with Irish wit and pathos.
In the title story a converted fiddler, whose
instrument has been bewitched from play
