On this account prices are kept firm

JAPANESE INFLUENCE.
It Has Been Growing Steadily in
China Since 1900.

Correspondence of Associated Press.l
Pekin, June 13--The growth of Jap
aneSe influence in China since the up
heaval of 1900 has attracted little atten-
ton in the United States and in Europe
largely because it has developed grad
ually. Nevertheless it is one of the re-
suits OF that campaign which should be
considered in connection with the future
politics of the far east. Moreover, there
are indications that Japan is striving
in every way to advance that influence
with the Chinese government and it is
even broadly stated that her ultimate
object is to strengthen her own position
by an alliance with the Celestial empire,
using the argument that together they
could better resist the aggressions of
the western powers JapanS meteoric
rise since she began to adopt western
methods little more than half a CEN

OFFICIALS of rank have been induced to visit
Japan during the past few years. They
were warmly welcomed and Japan sought
interests between the two countries. 1t is
also said that Japan is seeking to effect a
reorganization of the Chinese army and
that there are many Japanese instructors
peans, Germans and others who were in
the service before the Boxer troubles.
The imperial university in Pekin, which
was directed from its beginning by the
missionary. has been rsorganized by the
japanese. The troubles between the Chi
nese minister in Japan and the students
of his country revealed the fact, which

INVESTIGATED PAPERS.
Temperance Union Found Few Garry
ing Liquor Advertisements.

The forthcoming number Of the Kan
sas Issue, organ of the State Temper
ance Union, will record the results of
an investigation of the number of Kan
sas newspapers publishing liquor adj
vertisements.
Only nineteen periodicals in the state
were found to contain such advertise
ments. This is about two and one-half
per cent of the $50 publications on file
with the State Historical society. Five
of the nineteen papers are printed in
the German language. In sixteen of the
nineteen beer was the strongest intoxi-
cant advertised.
s. H. Pitcher made the investigation
for the union. The officers feel that the
result is one of the strongest pieces of
circumstantial evidence that can be
found showing the advanced state of
public sentiment ON the temperance
question in Kansas.
