JAPAN WILL DEFEND
HER NATIONAL HONOR
Not Submit TO a Repetition
of the Indignities of 1895.
ATTEMPT TO BE RESENTED

Trifiing VIII Not Be Toleratcd-Dis-
trustfuI Of the Outcome of the Chi
nese Situation-Desir of an Aiii-
ance With China.
YOKOHAMA, Sept. 15.-The absence OF
anything like enthusiasm on the part OF
the Japanese on the good work which
their army has done in China is attract
ing universal comment. The news OF
the fall of Picking caused scarcely rip
pie of excitement. The determining
cause is undoubtedly the deep seated
distrust Of the outcome of the Chinese
complications and the popular convlc-
ton that its results will be humiliation
like that forced on the nation in 1898.
There is, however, decided resolve
that the slightest attempt TO trifie this
time will be resented with all the force
that a self respecting nation can muster.
Japan wants no territory as reward,
but will insist, first of all, upon the pre-
servation of the integrity of China, not
with any desire TO form an alliance
with the latter as a menace to the west,
but rather as the fulfillment OF the ma
tional hope that China shall become o
corporate member of the body of civilized
powers as Jepan herself has become.
She deems it a reproach thai the OldesGs
power in the world should be allowed to
remain outside the pale of the world.
Paramount Influence In Korea.
Another demand viii be such guar
ontee by the powers OF Japan.s para
mount influence In Korea as shall effect
ually prevent any encroachment thereon
by Russia and thus remove all possible
ity of future clash with that power. !.
Apart from the manifestation of good
feeling which has come from the frater-
nization of the Japanese and Russian
troops in China strong conviction has
arisen that Russia's power has been
overrated and Japan g confidence In her.
self, in the event of conflict. has been
correspondingly increased.
Marquis Ito's long expected manifesto
placing himself at the head of new
party has appeared. It Is especially no.
table owing to the fact that its own
paramount issue Is the promotion OF
civil service reform. 1t will be interest
ing to note whether political party
based upon q single plank can sustain
itself.
If it can 1t will be the most signal vic
tory in Japan's extraordinary history.
The Mitzu Bish, newspaper, says a
Japanese firm has secured q contract
with the American authorities In the
Philippines to supply 10000 tons OF Jap
anese coal for the use of American war
ships.

Many native officials out of employment
here are secretly sending to the emperor

If Picking is to be held Immediate
steps must be taken to meet the problem

else there will be certain starvation

The railway to Tien Tsin, in charge Of

With the railway working and plenty
of supplies at Tien Tsin the occupation

Obituary.

Ray King Ballou was born October ID
1870, in Fillmore county, Mimi, and
died May 20 at the home of his brother,
near Extra at the age Of twenty nine
years seven months and ten days. He
came with his parents to Audubon
county when but boy where he has
grown to manhood. His parents, one
sister and two brothers preceded
him to the spirit world. He leaves to
mourn his departure four brothers, one
sister and many warm friends. Ray was
sociable, genteel young man winning
the friendship Of all he associated with.
He met his end by complication Of
diseases which resulted in consumption.
Thursday morning large concourse
OF neighbors and friends met at the
home where sorrow had again come, be.
speaking their love and respect. The
remains were accompanied to the M. Il.
church in Extra where M. j. Conner, OF
Audubon, conducted the last sad rites
over his remains, assisted by J. With,
Of Hamlin. Interment was made in the
Extra cemetery to await the coming Of
the Judge OF all the earth. Like many
he neglected important questions
until the eleventh hour, expressing him
self that he was ready to go, leaving us
hope which we hope may be well
founded. ~
