OUR RIVALS IN THE ORIENT.
Japnn Taking Trade Away From All
Councillors.

An interesting report intended TO sho"
Japan's prowess in the trade or the edS'
has been received at the State Department
from Deputy Consul General Hanauer at
Frankfort, Germany. English reports, says
Mr.. Hanauer, indicate that the influence OF
Japan in the orient is ever increasing, ana
both the people and the government are
making energetic efforts to become econ
omically independent of foreign aid by de-
veloping the resources of their own couh-
try.
Japan sends almost double the amount OF
Goods to the United States that she re-
ceiyes from this country. and france re-
ceiyes triple the amount OF goods that she
sends to the little oriental empire.
Japanese coal and japanese matches are
the most popular in their respective llhes
all the way from Colombo to NladlEostoch'
says Mr. Hanauer, and japanese beer ls
tbe common drink. Foreigners in business
In the empire find their position more anu
more untenable. and, on the other mana,
Jananese merchants are spreading ABROAD
to an extraordinary degree. the latter nav
ing crowded out foreign competition IN Co.
rea. H.. A., =
In conclusion, Mr.. Hanauer says that the
Japanese are successful in gaining the
sympathy of the Chinese, have estabished
fiftv-eight new business houses In Peklh,
and their shipping lines are taxing the
place of European concerns.

GEN. GROSVENOR'S VIEWS.
The Insular Decision From a Political
Standpoint.

Representative Grosvenor of Ohio passed
through the city Saturday from Boston,
where he attended the Memorial day ex-
ercises, en- route for his home.
To reporter of The Star who asked Gen.
Grosvenor his opinion as to the political
effect of the Supreme Court recent insular
decision, he said:
From a political standpoint the decision
of the majority of the Supreme Court will
be of the greatest possible benefit to the
administration. The country stood by the
President last fall when it indorsed his
action. but a great many republicans had
very serious doubts about the legal ques-
tion involved. The decision will dissipate
substantially all these doubts.
The democrats made an aggressive at
tack upon the republican party, claiming
that it had violated the Constitution in the
Porto Rico legislation, and held their party
together in measure in that way. They
have been deprived of this weapon. Their
position will have to be plain denunciation

1t stamped the royal seal upon a nation
al welcome. There could have been no
more fortunate suggestion at the outset OF
this remarkable visit, of the true spirit in
which American business rivalry is regard
ed in Great Britain"
The paper advocates, as one of the best
means of meeting this friendly rivalry, that
British employers and workmen alike
should visit the United States and observe
for themselves American business met hods;
and il declares that the fact of the two
countries being SO Indispensable to each
other makes all plans of European indus
trial coalition against the United States an
idle dream so far as any British participa-
fion is concerned"

All this was got out Of Klensmire in

houses, including every business house in

destroyed. The fire broke out about 3
o'clock. and in the absence of any fire de-
partment the town was at the mercy of
the flames.
Previous to the fire the post office safe
had been blown open and robbed. The safe
of the county treasurer was also found to
have been blown open and rif1ed Of its con-
tents. The conclusion of the people Of Jas

safes and then set fire to the town to
cover up their crime and create an excite

The officer explained hat he had not
