Octopuses are pretty plentiful in Jap

to attack fishermen in their boats.
When this hideous monster assumes

fishermen have is to lop off the tenta-

boat may be upset and the men

BALTIMORE. MD, July 3O.-Much
comment was occasioned here to-day
when it was found that Mayor Hayes
was not among those upon whom the
Emperor of Germany had conferred dec
orations, incidental to the recent visit
to this country of Prince Henry. 1t is
suggested that Mayor Hayes, in his ad-
dress to Prince Henry, made no refer
ence to the Emperor. He referred to the
Prince, however, as THE grandson of
that noble Englishwoman. Queen Vic

1t is thought the omission of the

English Queen, was regarded as a breach
