JAPAN EAGER TO fight.
Wound War with Russia if She Had
Sufficient CASH


Russia and Japan have been on the
verge of war several times within the
last i've years, since Russia interfered in
1895 and prevented Japan from enjoy
ing the fruits 81 the victory over China,
but they were never so near hostilitties
as now, and in the opinion OF welI-in-
formed diplom atists would be fighting
this summer ii Japan could get the
money TO pay the powder bill. 1t so
happens that The Mikado's cabinet and
parliament J;e at odds, particularly the
house of lords, which refuses to vote the
military supplies desired by Count IT..
the prime minister, or authorize a loan,
which is necessary to furnish the sinews
of war.
Great Britain is equally embarrassed
and cannot interfere in Manchuria be-
cause her fighting force is occupied in
South Africa and her recent experience
down in that country has been so ex-
pensive that the taxpayers of England
cannot stanL any greater strain. Arnold
Foster, secretary of the admiralty, in ex-
planning the navy estimates in parliament
the other day, showed that it cost is
shillings per capita for every man, wonl-
maintain British supremacy upon the
seas, without taking into consideration
the expenses of the army and other
branches of the government. This is
equivalent TO an average tax of 1910 for
the British navy alone. while the average
in the United States for all branches of
our government, even with the $1,000
100000 appropriations of the current
year, is SG.39 year, and before the
Spanish war was only about So.
A Washington correspondent says
there is no doubt that Great Britain,
Germany AID Japan have vigorously pro-
tested agains, the Manchurian treaty,
both to the Oh nese and the Russian gov
ernments, and have notified the Chinese
ENJOYS at Pekin that ii Russia is given
Manchuria each of them will expect an
equal slice of the empire.
Japan is particularly determined in OPP
position to Russian aggression, and If
matters go much further Count Ito will
cali for dissolution of the present par
lament and appeal TO the people for the
election of another in the hope of get
ting one that will be more willing to vote
money for war purposes.

REJECTED BY BOTHA.
Peace Terms offered Do Not Pleas
Boer Leader.

Peace Terms Offered Do Not Please
Boer Leader.
Joseph Chamberlain, the British Co
lomal Secretary, informed the House of
Commons Tuesday that Gen. Botha has
Gen. Botha, Mr.. Chamberlain said, had
conveyed the information in letter to
Gen. Kitchener, in which he announced
that he was not disposed to recommend
the terms of peace Gen. Kitchener was
instructed to offer him, to the earnest
consideration of his government. Gen.
Botha added that his government and
its chief officers entirely agreed with his
view. The responsibility for the cor
tinuance of guerilla warfare to the bitter
end consequently rests with Gen. Botha,
and those whom he was consulting. This
was the impression which Mr.. Chamber
lain clearly conveyed.
The minsterialists accepted Gen. Bo-
tha's answer philosophicaly as a proof
that the war must go on until the Boer
leaders We're captured, says London
correspondent, and the Chancellor of the
Exchequer might as well pigeon-hole his
more favorable budget and warn taxpay-
ers to prepare for the worst, the sugar
duty as well as the increased income tax.
The pro-Boer Liberals, who are look
ing for strange revelations from Holland
are predicting that Gen. Botha will have
a version of the negotiations quite diff
ferent from the one authorized by the
foreign office.

INDIAN MARRIAGES LEGAL.
RulinG of Courts In Case of Alienation

of Affection.
A jury in Pender, Neb,, awarded Jo-
seph Kemp, a full-bIood Omaha Indian,
a judgment for $4,000 against John Gil
pip, another Indian of the same tribe,
for the alienation of his wife's affections.
This verdict establishes a new precedent
in Indian marriages. holding. as it does,
that marriages by the Indian custom
prior to federal revision are legal and
binding. Twenty-six years ago Joseph
Kemp, full-blood Indian living on the
reservation near Fender, wooed and won
Che-Hate, the Ircttiest red maid in the
State, For more thar twenty-five years
the couple lived happily and raised
family of twelve children. In June of
last year John Gilpin appeared in the
neighborhood, looked with covetous eyes
upon the still handsome Mrs. Kemp, and
began planning TO win her from her hus-
band. He succeeded. They eloped to
Fender and were married. The husband
Immediately consulted a lawyer, and a
civil suit was brought and tried. under
tLe act Of 1882, which allotted the Oma-
has certain lands and made them amen
able to both civil and criminal law.
Kemp's suit was for $1,000. and he Sc
cured a judgment for $4,000. The jury
was composed of eleven white men and

RISE IN FAVORED rNDUsrRlE !.
Bull Movement in Wheat Makes Slight
Difference on the Week

Bradstreet's views the business situa-
ton thus: "Distributive trade and specu-
lation in securities continue large in vol
ume, with prices rising in the more favor
ed industries or dropping in those suffer
ing from depression. As types OF these
movements the iron and cotton goods in
dustries are pre-eminent, and these two
seem like opposite poles. In most other
industries the reports are quite favora-
bi@. The government report OF wheat In
farmers hands, pointing to 100000
bushels less held than a year ago, was
regarded as a builish feature, and, cou-
pied with light Northwestern receipts
caused a rise which was. however, taken
advantage of to realize, and the net
change for the week is slight. Wheat,
including flour, shipments for the week
aggregate 4,G93, 939 bushels, against A.
2229,a2S bushels last week, and 2,72T ,450
bushels in the corresponding week of

FAMILY Is BURNED TO DEATH.
Father, Mother and Five Children
Perish in Ohio,


The charred bodies of JEFF Hill, his
wife and five children were found the
other night in the smoldering embers of
burning house. Hill and his family
lived in log cabin two miles northeast
Of Wellston, Ohio. Their nearest neigh
Dor, Edward McGinnis, discovered the
house wrapped in flames. 1t seems that
only one door opened out of the room in
which the seven members of the family
were sleeping. The fire caught in front
of that door, blocking the only way of
escape. The whole family persisted. and
a little yellow dog, the pet of younger
child, was the only living thing that sur
vived. 1t is generally supposed that the
fire caught from q wood stove, although
the theory is advanced that the family
may have been murdered and the house
burned to hide the crime.
