Compliment to Consul Harris.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ELKHART, Ind. July 21.-Cyrus D.
Roys, of this city, in 1898 candidate for the
Republican nomination for Congress, and
in 1900 an active ally of the Democrats as an
anti-imperialist, who has just returned TO
California from a trip to the Orient, writes
to a friend here the following compliment
to Charles Harris, formerly of Goshen, the
United States consul at Nagasaki, Japan:
Our stay i'm Nagasah was made exceeds
ingly pleasant by the courteous hospitality
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harris. Mr.. Harris has
made an enviable reputation at Naeasaki
He is more talked about by merchants,
shippers, tourists and sea captains than any
other consul In the Orient, and everywhere
there is nothing but praise for his tactful
and successful work. We have had $4,000
troops in Nagasaki at one time, and so
great is the confidence he has established
with Japanese officials that he has secured
every concession asked for without reference
TO the minister. If civil service is anything
but fake, or If the wishes of those who
have anything TO do with the Nagasaki con-
sulate shall be needed. our Charles Harris
will have a deserved promotion"

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, July H-Pfesident
Stone, of Purdue University, and the Town
Board of West Lafayette are at odds over
the question of the efficiency of the towns
fire department. The president has called
the boards attention to the apparent poor
work of the firemen at the recent blaze
which destroyed the large barn connected
with the university. President Stone feels
that with such inefficient work the whole
university would be at the mercy of fire.
The board does not agree with the presi-
dent. The firemen say that the day of
the fire the roads leading TO the barn were
blockaded, owing to the laying of asphalt
pavement and that the water pressure was
light.

have lain down so carefully without caring
for the injuries which the police say were
caused by falling She did have sore
finger which indicated blood poisoning, but
she was at work only a few days before her
death. The police criticise the doctor-cor-
oner for failure to ascertain the fact as to
whether or not she died from blood poison
