would be loohrd upon as the real con.
queror of the Chinese empire. All for.
eign nations that have made conquests
in China have become a part of the
Chinese people-that is, instead of the
Chinese adopting the manners and
customs of their conquerors, the latter
adopted the manners and customs OF
the Chinese. The last people to con-
quer China-the Manchus, who now
rule her-are as much Chinese as the
native population.
The one thing that European na.lons
most fear is that if Japan were allowed
to become the most influential power
in China it might result in that am
bilious nation setting to wolK to de-
velop the military power of China and
thus become the most pow erful nation
on earth. If this should happen, then
it is feared that Sapan's ambition
would lead her ~ attempt to conquer
the other nations of the world and
make the yellow races supreme over
the white. Lord Wolseley. the COM
mander-in-chief of the British army
says that the Chinese soldiers who
fought in the war with Japan were
worthless fellows-tramps we might
say-picked up by rich mandarins, but
he further says that the Chinese as a
race are splendid material from which
to make good soldiers.

Stole, with soft step. its shining arch

Stretched in his last-found home, and

Cast from her lap forlorn,
From thy dead lips a clearer note is

DIED RATHER THAN WAIT.

Harry Webster of Cynthiana, KY.
went down to the railroad station one
day last week to bid his sweetheart
good-by. Her family was moving to
Cincinnati. and, like a dutiful daugh-
ter, she was going with them.
Young Webster, who is % years old,
begged the girl to stay behind with
him and let her parents go on alone
to their new home. She refused, but
promised to wait for him in Ohio.
Then. just as the train for Cincinnati
pulled into the station, he put his
arms around her and kissed her good
by. She fingered for a moment with
her lover, while her father called to
her to hurry. Finally Webster drew
his revolver from coat pocket.
ITS no USE" he said, Il can't live
a day without you" and fired a shot
into his own breast. Then the train
pulled out

heart and the doctors say he will not

of the Ural river from hosts. To reach
Europe through Constantinople would
require vessels, which the Chinese
would not have, and even if they lad,
the fleets of the nations assembled at
the Bosphorus and artillery in the
forts at Constantinople could sink
them as fast as they were loaded with
troops. The possibility of the Chinese
pouring down into India is to be dis
missed. The entire boundary Of India
is defended by the Himalaya noun
tains and again by the vast rich table
land of Thibet with another range Of
mountains to the north of that. There
would be only few mountain passes,
at most, to defend.
The only way in which the Chinese
could ever overrun Europe is by the
slow process of migration, and that
could come only by the decay of the
white races. In other words the Chi
nese must first overtake us in point OF
civilization and become mentally and
practically our superiors, before ever
they could crowd us out and rule in
our places.
Since her war with China, Japan has
made more progress as a military and
naval power than almost any other
nation in the world. Of the $50, SOC, 900
war indemnity she received from China
she has spent s29OOO,OOO on her army
and more than $500O0,000 on her navy.
At the beginning of that war Japan's
army on a peace footing consisted OF
So, 900 officers and men. This has since
been increased to $4,000 on peace
footing and 900 on a war footing.
since the war with China she has,
added -four first-class battleships, six
first-class cruisers, and large fiotilla
of torpedo boats. Besides these she has
nine second-class cruisers, five third
class cruisers, ten coast defense YES
sells, two first-class and fifteen second
class gunboats, four dispatch boats and

navy is now larger than the Russian
navy. The naval and military officers

in this country and in all the best
naval schools of Europe. Her new
warships are among the best that float.
Two of the new battleships are exact
copies of the great English battleship
the Royal Sovereign, and our own
cruiser Charleston was modelled after

Although Japan is not ranked as
first-class power, she has the popula-
ton to give her that rank-44, 000, 900

they love each other better than either

would vote against his election. The
consequence was that the editor quick

he asked him:

Goebel's Murder.
Georgetown, KY, July 9.-The cases
Of the commonwealth against Youtsey,
Powers, Davis, Whitaker and Combs,
charged with completely in the murder
of William Goebel at Frankfort, Janu-
ary 4, were called by Judge Cantrill
on a change of venue today. BY an or
der the court all persons who entered
the courtroom were searched. In ad-
dition to the imposing array of counsel
on each side and the large number of
witnesses from all parts of the state,
a big crowd Of spectators thronged the
room.
The work of selecting a jury was
first entered upon and the panel of
those summoned to draw from was
read.
The case against Caleb Powers was
the first called. The prosecution asked
for and was granted an order on the
Taller Of Franklin county to bring him
as witnesses Suspects Cullen and
Noaks, who are in Jail at Frankfort.
The defendant, former Secretary Of
State Powers, was brought into court
and took a seat with the attorneys for
the defense. Though he has been In
Jail since March 10, he shows but few
marks Of confinement and looks in
good spirits.
The commonwealth asked for a sub
poena duces tecum for Prof. James Ste
phens to produce a letter from Caleb
Powers, written in February. in which
1t is alleged Powers claimed for him
self the credit Of the disorganized on
dition Of the democracy. Ninety-sev-

present and the prosecution an
nounced itself ready for trial. The
court then announced that the defense
would be given till 2:30 to make up its
list Of witnesses and 1t will develop
this afternoon whether the Powers
case will go to trial. Powers attorneys
say that their present plans are to go
into trial but 1t is not absolutely GER
