Some time later clerk opened it and wa mortified to discover its contents. He a | once notified the coroner, who took charge of the box. A sober British jury, in considering the matter, returned verdict 10 the eff feet that .sshes diedson some date un- known in some foreign country. and they were satisfied that the body did not show any sign of crime in this country" The matter is again called to public attention by suit which the owner of the mummy has brought against the railway company Chi eago Chronicle

BISHOP M'KIM'S OPINION.
He Says That Japan Is Very Anxious
 To Fight Russia.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept 6.-Bishop John McKim of Tokio Japan, chair man of the executive board of foreign missions of the Episcopal church is visiting his brother here. Interviewed he said:
 Japan is exceedingly anxious to fight Russia. Of the people of the Mikado's realm nineteen-twentieths are eager to fight, and if it were not for Japan's pride about borrowing money she could win in a struggle with Russia.
 "Japan's fleet is much superior to that of Russia in the eastern waters. Japan's army is larger and Is made up of braver and more intelligent men than those composing Russia's forces in China and Manchuria. I think, how ever that if Japan does not fight Rus sia very soon her chances of winning will deteriorate. Russia at present has no coaIing station near Japan, but in two years the Silberia railway will be completed and the forces of the czar will then be in much better position to war against Japan and kindred east ern powers.
 Japan is very much opposed to the partition of China and is especially de sirous that Russia shall not secure a foothold in the empire. for the Japan csc authorities well know that Corea in such an event would soon go as Manchuria went and Russia would be impregnable in position enabling the czar to dictate to Japan.
 Japan is anxious for the accom- plishment of an alliance between Amer. ica, England and itself"

RAILROAD MEN BUSY.
Secret Sessions Held By Heads of Every Road.

Chicago, Sept 6--It was learned to- day that since last Monday the work ing heads of every road embraced In the Hartman syndicate have been holding secret sessions in Chicago, and these meetings are to continue till the end of next week. Among the officials present are: J.. c. Stubbs, general traffic director of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific systems; E. O. McCor- mick, general passenger traffic man. ager of the Southern Pacific; E. l.. LOmax, general passenger agent of the Union Pacific; Ben Campbell, general traffic manager of the Oregon Rail- way and Navigation Co; A. l.. Craig, general passenger agent of the same road, and D. E. Hurley, general pas senger agent of the Oregon Short Line. All of these officials brought with them their stenOgraphers and secretaries and are quartered at the Auditorium An mex. None of them is registered and the greatest secrecy has been pre- served concerning their movements.
 When it became known in railroad circles that the meeting was being held it was said that it's object was to start a vigorous campaign for the pur- pose of bringing to the Pacific coast and from there to eastern centers of commerce every dollars worth of traf- fic that can be diverted to this country from the Orient.
 E. O. Mccormick, general passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pa cific, said: '.The little stream of trade that started across the Pacific practi- cally with the opening of the Philip pine campaign is beginning to increase to such an extent that it will rapidly develop into a mighty river. We be- lieve that we have made such proyis- ions for this magnificent trade as will at least take care of its beginnings. We have the Occidental and Oriental lines of steamers, the Pacific Mail and the Japanese 1ine,, and vessels the equal of any on the Atlantic ocean will soon be added to each of these fleets. Our agents are now travelling all through the Orient seeking trade in every city and hamlet and planting the seed of what we believe will soon be vast and rapidly increasing com merce."
 None of the other participants in the conference would discuss its real char acter except to state that schedules and details of passenger traffic were being looked into and capitalized. It is known, however. that one of the prin- ctpal objects of the meetings outside of the main and all important item of Oriental trade extension is the settle ment of the proportions of traffic be tween the various lines embraced by the combine.

Work of Art By Waterbury's We'll
 Known Penman. Prof P. E. Holley.
 A very handsome set of engrossed resolutions are now on exhibition in the show window of Pollak's art studio on Bank street. They were adopted at a recent meeting of Melchizedeck lodge, No POO, l. O. B. B.. one of the best known Hebrew societies in the world, as a mark of respect to the late Max Chase of New York and Maier Zunder of New Haven, ordered spread upon the records of the organization and suitably engrcssed copy of the same presented to MT and Mrs IsadOre Chase of this city and the widow of the late Maier Zunder. Max Chase was a charter member of Melchizedeck lodge He came to Waterbury iR 1864 and opened the business now conducted by his brother, Chase the Exchange place miIIiner. Later he removed to New York, where he died a short time ago. Mir Zunder was the father of Mrs Sophia Chase, wife of I. Chase, and though not a member of MelchiZe- deck lodge, he was instrumental in bringing it into existence and was per sonalIy identified with the order in New Haven and made many fraternal visits to his brethren in Waterbury There was but a very brief period be- tween the time of his death and that of Max Chase. The scroll work was performed by Professor Holley of 167 Bank street and speaks volumes for the proficiency of the artist. The res0 iutions werep repared by a committee consisting of Joseph Pollak, Maier Kaiser and Louis Simon.

Hot weather sarcasn,..

"Er-how do you stand the hot weather?". inquired the country youth of the fat man in the side show.
 Do you think it hot2" asked the fat man, with scathing sarcasm, which was lost on the country youth. "Tye been somewhat chilly all day,' went on the fat man, as he famed himself vigorously, and turning to the legless and armless man on the next stand he said in loud voice: John, run and bring me my .overcoat and couple of hot bricks. ."-Ohio State Journal

SPECIAL CHALLENGE MATCH.
Absorbed All Interest At Sea Girt
 Ranges To-Day.

New York. Sept 6-The special chal- lenge match between teams of eight representing the Ulster Rifle associa- tion of Belfast, Ireland, and the New Jersey State Rifle association absorb ed all the interest at the Sea Girt ranges to-day. The make up of the teams was as follows:
 Ulster Rifle association-W. T.. Braithwaite, Thomas Caldwell, F. w. Henry. D. J. c. SelIars. Robert Dun- can. Major J. K Millner, John Nor gan and Major F. w. Richardson.
 The alternates were James Wilson, Captain and R. J. Williams.
 New Jersey State Rifle association Frank Hyde, New York; Dr s. I. Scott, Maryland; Lieutenant William Dey. Foulke. Philadelphia; Dr w. H. Bull, Bloomfield, N J.; Captain w. s. Whit femore, Hoboken. N. J.: E. w. Scott, Maryland; Dr W. c. Hudson, New York, and s. B. Wetherald, Washing ton, D. c.
 The two alternates were Captain Hobart Futile. Paterson, N. J.. and NJ. Gensch, Madison, N. J.
 The conditions were fifteen shots per man at each of the following ranges: 800, 900 and 1000 yards.
 The Irish men used the Mannlicher and the Americans New Lee Reming- ton guns Some fault was found yes ferday with the American ammunition in the match against the Canadians, and judging from the manner in which the Ulster men have been scoring bulls eyes in practice. their special ammu- milton which was made in Austria suits them perfectly.
 To-day's conditions were about the same as existed yesterday. slight sea haze hanging over the targets in the !. long ranges.

JAPANESE IMPORTS

Eondon, Sept GA consular report of the trade with Japan says that in 1883 more than half of the Japanese imports were from Great Britain; in 1890 one-third were British; in 1SIS, less than one-fourth; in 1899. little more than one-fifth, and in 1900, one fourth. While the trade of the United Kingdom since 1883 has increased less than 11a fold, that of the United States and that of Germany has each grown tenfold. And the most strenu- ous efforts are being made by the last named two countries for trade exten- siOns in the future.

The MeKaphone tn Warfare.

During the great Ashantee campaign the megaphone was tried by the Brit ish officers for giving orders, since the columns traversing through the Afri- can bush were so long that it was inn possible to convey orders in the usual way. The experiment was unsuccess- full, however, because the thick jungle and the winding paths prevented the sound from traveling.-N. Y. Sun.
