Exciting Features of a Young wom- ans Heroic Rescue of
 Her Pet.

A remarkable accident occurred on the farm of Snowden Thompson, near Highland, Howard county. one after noon lately, says q Sandy Spring (Md.) dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. A little dog belonging to Miss Clara Thomp- son, daughter of SnoWden Thompson, fell into wei near the house. The ap- paratus for drawing the water was two buckets attached 10 either enG of a chain passed over wheel made fast above the we'll. The we'll was 55 feet deep.
 Miss Thompson volunteered to de- scend on q ladder attached to one end Of the chain in place of bucket. and her parents agreed to lower her into the well. The lowering process was successfully performed. but when Mir. and Mrs. Thompson began drawing the young .ady and her dog, which she had secured. to the surface. the fixture at the top of the well collapsed. precipi- tating her into the chilling water. She held on to the ladder and dog, however, and, the ladder being of sufficient length to keep her head above water. she remained on it until rescuers ar- rived 1h hours later.
 The fixture as it went down narrow ly missed striking the young lady. The father and mother screamed for assist ance, which came as promptly as pos slole. the nearest neighbor living three fourths of 9 mile away. Samuel Bos- we'll, aged about 75 years, swam the Patuxent river, and was one of the first to arrive on the scene. When a suffi- cient number were congregated Jacob Link was lowered into the we'll and placed a rope around Miss Thompson, and she was safely drawn out. The dog was also saved, but the young lady fainted after reaching the surface, and the assistance of q physician was nec- sSsary.

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-06-20

The republicans have a novel ldea
in connection with the presidential
campaign. The graphophone is to be
used to reproduce speeches by promi-
nent republicans in the house and SEN
ate. Ten or twenty republicans with
regulations for oratory have recently
made stump speeches to graphophones,
and their winged words are now rest
ing on wax cylinders. ready for use
in small towns and elsewhere through
out the country during the presidential
fight The idea is good one. and
before the campaign is over there may
be many more speeches dictated to
graphophones for campaign reprOduc-
ton. The difficulty is that speakers are
apt to be more embarrassed when ad-
dressing great mass meetings When
they hear the sounds OF their voices af-
terwards they are not likely to recog-
nize them. and most speakers are much
dissatisfied with the reproductions.

Less than twenty years ago, largely
inspired by Dennis Kearney and his
sand Lot" agitators. congress passed
a Chinese exclusion bill to prevent the
entrance OF the almond-eyed celestials
to the United States. At the same
time. the Japanese. allied to the Mon
gollan race, were welcomed. They new
er engaged in the laundry business,
and were not menace to the indus
trious American washerwoman. Now,
Japan puts up the bars to stop the
rush Of people to this country. The
Aikado's representative at Washington
has appealed TO Secretary Gage to as
sist in carrying out an imperial de-
cree which is intended to prevent the
emigration to the United States of more
than Eve persons month from any
Of the forty-seven prefectures. 1t is
frankly explained that no feeling Of
hostility exists toward this country;
Japan wants to keep her people at
home. Owing TO the large emigration
the population OF the islands has only
increased from S6.OOO,OOO to 100000 in
twenty-six years. This is not a healthy
growth. under the improved conditions
that now exist Throughout Japan. While
an exclusion act would not find favor
with the japanese. they welcome the
cooperation Of this government in car
rying out their own policy. The pri-
mary cause Of the recent heavy immi-
grafton to America from Japan is the
uttlEliizaatstion- at- the tough little Mongo-
nans as workmen on new railroads in
the far West. The chief offenders are
the Japanese steams Zip companies. now
bringing coolies from Yokohama or
Kobe for $3.50. which includes every
thing. German tramp steamers have
brought them over to Victoria as low
as se.5e each. the men providing their
own food. Owing to the healthy condi-
tion OF the labor market in the West.
no serious feeling has developed against
the Japanese; but If the wholesale in
fiux Of workmen be allowed to con-
tinue violent opposition is sure to de-
velop before long. Therefore, our gov
eminent welcomes the action Of the Nj
kado. and, by redoubled vigilance, will
sustain our friendly power of the ori
ent in keeping its able-bodied men at
home,
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-06-20

tie latter has not forgotten nor for
given. Since that time Japan has felt
that her manifest destiny" was un-
justly thwarted and her natural rights
We're violated. and she has not ceased
TO plan and prepare for redress
With the right or wrong OF this atti-
tude Of Japan We need not concern our
selves, 1t is natural and 1t is entirely
in accord with the traditions and
practice OF the world. There are those
even in high places who profess TO re-
gard 1t as necessary hat Japan shall
be checked and balked in her develop
ment and in her PAN -Mongolian as
pirations. lest she become too powerful
and prove in time TO be a menace-a
yellow Peril"-to Western civilization.
II certainly seems more pleasant and
more courageous TO hold that the supe-
riorlty Of the Caucasian race and of its
civilization will always insure security
from such rivalry. But however that
may be. in the circumstances We have
described Is to be found the animus
OF Japan's present attitude toward
Russia and toward the Chinese ques-
ton. And her attitude viii doubtless
prove to be factor in the problem
which no other power nor combination
Of powers can AFFORD to ignore.

JApANs INTEREST IN CHINA.

New York Tribune.
The jealous rivalry among the great
powers Of Europe over the control or
partition of China is explicable and
natural. especially that between Great
Britain and Russia. The commercial
interests Of the former OF these two
and the territorial ambitions and op-
portunities of the latter are so enor-
nous that neither can afford to neg
lect a single move in the game. But
there is a great power. not European,
whose interest in the fate Of China
and Of corea is in all respects fully
comparable with that of any other,
and whose interest in theeUne respect
Of natural sentiment far surpasses that
of any other. Japan has a larger
commerce with China than any other
nation has, save only the British en-
pire. and, indeed. proportionately. her
commerce is second to none. Nor. can
Russia claim from a political point Of
view greater interest in China than
that of Japan.
On the score Of natural and legiti-
mate sentiment. however. as we have
said, Japan outranks them all. China
and Corea are Joined to her by ties of
race and blood and speech and tradi-
tion. There was among them in old
times a community of isolation, or sep
aration, from the world. There is
among them today a like community in
the discrimination made against them
as "orientals" by the Western world.
Japan has abandoned that isolation
and overcome that prejudice far more
than either Of the others, but she has
by no means got past her fellow feel
ing for them on those scores. She feels,
moreover, and with some reason, that
every blow struck at them by Western
powers is also indirectly struck at her.
They are in a measure buffer states be-
tween her and a concert Of powers
which she suspects, and not without
cause, Of being at heart hostile to her.
Moreover-and this is by no means the
most potent consideration Japan has
cherished the natural ambition Of her
self exercising the social, Industrial and |
political hegemony Of the Mongolian |
world. She has meant to carry her civ
ilization into China and Corea and to |
awaken them as she herself has been
awakened. She considers It both her
duty and her right to do this, just as
Prussia took the lead among the Ger
man states and Russia makes herself
the center Of Pan-slavism.
It has become evident to Japan,
however, that the European powers, or
at least one Of them, and that the most
aggressive Of them all, will if possible
break down her rights and Illustrate her
Three powers actually com
bined to do 50 at the close Of the Chi
nese war. It was her intention then
to take Corea under her protection and
to make herself the guide, philoso-
pher and friend" Of China, with, we
may add, the full consent and earnest
desire of China. But Russia objected,
and persuaded France and Germany to
join her in compelling Japan to forego
her laudable designs In doing so they
set back the wheels Of civil
ization in the Orient, and undoubtedly
kept the door open for precisely such
an ominous crisis as the present.
More than that, they-or Russia
