WARLIKE ATTITUDE
OF THE JAPANESE
Determined to Face Russia
Alone, If Necessary.
PATRIOTISM IS INTENSE

If Conflict Ensues, the Little Brown
People Will Act as Vigorously as
They Did In Their Struggle With
China-Ready For the Fray.
YOKOHAMA, March 80, via SAN FRAN
CISCO, April Whether the feverish
activity at the arsenals and navy yards,
or the unanimous voices of the natives,
or the corroborative reports of a decided
stand being taken by the government
are taken into consideration, there are
small doubts that Japan has made up its
mind to face Russia alone, If necessary.
There is no mistaking the patriotic feel
ing of the people. 1t surpasses in in
tensity all that was exhibited at the
outbreak of the Chinese war in 1894,
and dissenting voice is nowhere heard
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. Even the most conservative
and moderate of the journals are pro-
nOunced in their advocacy of the firmest
kind of a stand on the part of the gov
ernment. The Yorodzu has the follow
ing in today's issue:
DistrustfuI of Russia.
although 1t has been reported by
Reuter- and others that China has re-
jected the Manchurian convention, we
must not congratulate ourselves there
upon. We must be on the elert as ever
all the more so, because there has
been received in Tokyo later reports to
the effect that China has at last been
compelled to sign the convention. Even
though these latter reports may turn
out false, we must not think that the
Manchurian question has been satisfac-
torily settled. We need to scarcely say
that Russia will never abandon her pre-
tensions as to Manchuria unless forced
to do so by some highhanded measure.
In connection with this, we are glad to
hear that our government has decided
to adopt decisive measures i'll regard to
and Corean questions.
Will Act Vigorously.
"Japan will, we are told, move inde-
pendently of other powers and in most
vigorous manner. Let US hope that all
this is true. 1t is high time for this
country to see whether or not it can
drive back the great disturber of the
peace in the east. Were we to remain
idle Manchuria a1d then Corea would
pass into Russian grip, no
matter whether the Manchurian con-
vention is signed or not. +"

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the we'll known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themin the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from Senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

SPARTANBURG, S. O.. April 18-Book-
er T. Washington addressed large au-
dience here last night. The subject of
his address was 1.-The Solution of the
Race Problem" Corraling the negro
in a special state or territory, sending
him back to Africa and assimilation and
elimination of the negro from the white
race had been suggested, but these plans
were impossible and impracticable. The
two races were here in the south, and
they were going to stay here, and their
destiny had to be wrought out together.
He gave a sketch of the Tuskeegee
school, showing that the leading object
there was to train the hands as well as
the minds of the scholars, and to dig
Nifty the common employments of life.
1t was through industry, thrift, econ
omy, bank accounts, skilled labor, hon
orable and honest dealing, that the ne
gro was to secure the respect of his
neighbors. With apt illustrations and
anecdotes he illustrated and strength
ened his suggestions.
There was a most enjoyable humor
running through his address, but never
a hint at coarseness.
1t was an admirable address and many
of the suggestions were as well suited
to white people as to negroes.
