EUROPEAN OFFICER
BURIED AS BUDDHIST
Italian Marquis Abjures All Chris
tan Rites.

YOKOHAMA. Japan, June 29.-An al
most unprecedented event has Just taken
place here. The Marquis Nembrini de
Gonzaga. a European officer in the Jap
anese service. was buried, at his own
request. according to Buddhist rites.
The chief priest, in gorgeous canoni-
Gals, headed the funeral procession. a
splendid umbrella being held over his
head by acolytes. The coffin was in the
square shape usual at Buddhist funerals,
where the dead person is buried In a
sitting posture, and there was a great
show of lotus flowers. banners, Ian
terms, etc.
The marquis was a direct descendant
OF the famous Gonzaga family, who ruled
as sovereign princes IN Italy. 1t was by
the sword OF one of these Gonzagas that
the Admirable Crichton was killed. The
marquis came to Japan many years ago
and making the country his home mar
ried japanese lady. He had seen serv-
Ice IN Egypt, and was recognized as an
old acquaintance by Lord Charles Beres-
ford during the latter's trip TO the Far
East two or three years ago.
The marquis spoke some dozen Ian
guages.

CONSUMING POWER OF
THE UNITED STATES
Imports of Manufacturers Materials
Increased S66,OOO,OOO.

The growth in the consuming power
Of the United States in this period OF
business activity Is illustrated by the
figures OF the Treasury Bureau of Sta
tistics. showing the importations and ex-
portations by great groups during the
eleven months ended with May. 1903.
These figures show that while the ex-
portation of manufactures has increased
only s2.OO0,O0O. as compared with the
corresponding months Of last year, the
Importation OF manufacturers materials
has increased s66. .OO0, 900. as compared
with the same months OF 1902, and s31.-
000. 900 as compared with the correspond
ing months Of 1901.
AS 1t can scarcely be presumed that
the manufacturers OF the country are
importing in excess of their present or
Immediately prospective requirements,
it would seem that the increase in man
ufacture which this growing importation
Of materials indicates is consumed at
home. since expectations OF manufae-
lures for the year show no material in
crease.
A rapid increase in the importation
of manufacturers materials has been
the striking characteristic of the fiscal
year about TO end. For the eleven
months the total value OF manufacturers
materials imported amounted to S45l,-
OS1 .163. against 1884, ,775. .764 for the same
months of last year; 1913. .524. .957 for the
corresponding months of 1901. and $685.
455 .072 for the same months of 1900.
Prior to 1900 the imports OF manufac-
turers' materials had never touched the
$500 900, 600 line, except In 1893, when
they were $500. .461, ,795. Comparing 1893
with 1890, the manufacturers materials
imported have nearly doubled in value,
those of the eleven months OF 1890 being
s242. .437, ,S91

Minnesota Judge Utters Warning to
Those Who Lend.

ST. PAUL. MINI, June 29.-Warningto
poker players that they must depend
upon the honor OF their antagonists, and
not upon the courts. to pay debts con-
tracted at the gaming table, has been
uttered by Judge Finehout OF the NUM-
cipal court.
ID. Henrin sued Robert Below to re-
cover money lent by him to BELOW in a

Money loaned to gamble cannot be re-
covered. and the courts of this State
will not enforce a contract which is
contrary to public policy and good NOR
ais. whether prohibited ar not by the
statutes in the State wherein II was
made The plaintiff. having knowingly
lent his money to the defendant to be
used in a gambling game. has placed
himself and his money outside the pale

NO CHANGE NEEDED
IN THE TARIFF LAWS
Representative Hemenway Gives
lndiana'S Views.

Representative Hemenway, of In
diana, said today there is no sentiment
in his State for a change in the tariff
laws.
Mr.. Hemenway also says that there
is not much OF demand for the enact
ment of financial legislation at this
time. Speaking of the latter subject,
he said:
Indianapolis is virtually the home of
the gold movement of recent
years in this country, but l do not be-
lieve the people, of Indiana are espe-
cially anxious that Congress should get
to work and add to our legislation.
making stronger. as has been said. the
present monetary laws.
They seem TO be satisfied with exist
ing monetary conditions and cannot see
exactly wherein further action is re-
Quired.
''As for the tariff. We are all willing
TO let matters rest as they are. About
two or three years ago there was a
visible current OF sentiment in favor OF
tariff revision. but l think this in the
main has disappeared
The customs affairs OF the country
are working satisfactorily; we have
abundance of money. and the people, In
my opinion. are not willing to take any
chances Of destroying the magnificent
result we have accomplished.
They have evidently come to the
logical conclusion that 10 touch one
item in a tariff bill means that others
and perhaps the whole fabric is to be
disturbed and distorted Nothing could
be more serious to the business inter
ests. for the time being, at least
The whole Industrial system OF the
country would in that event be turned
topsy turvy. Chaos instead of the won
derful calm and equilibrium now ex-
listing would reign. and the result would
be disastrous. OF course. II is not pos
sible to have a perfect tariff. but We
think that well enough should be al
lowed TO stand. We are doing beauti-
fully"

YORKTOWN. N. w. T., Jnue 29.-Peter
eighteen years standing, and present
leader OF the Canadian Doukhobors, has
brought peace to the troubled communi-
ties here and at Rosthern, and has
made good progress IN his self-imposed
task OF converting the fanatical Douk-
hobors into good Canadian farmers
One Of the most difficult features OF
the Doukhobor settlements with which
the immigration authorities have had TO
deal was the refusal of the members to
homestead their land
Their opinions have within the last
few months undergone a decided change
in this respect. Every male Doukhobor
over the age of Is years has ap-
piled for quarter section, and 1,743
homestead entries have been made since
Veregin's arrival in the country.
While in Winnipeg. Veregin. who was
the head Of q committee composed OF
his chief lieutenant. Paul Plandin, and
Nicoh zebrof, purchased four regis
tered Clydesdale stations and forty
draught horses for use in his settlement,
and also a considerable quantity OF
agricultural machinery
1t will be interesting for those who
still regard the Doukhobors as ire
sponsible nomads to know that In this
section alone the people own 469 work
ing horses, 7s4 cows. GAL one and two
year-olds, SO oxen. 159 plows. so disc
harrows, z seeders, self binders, AZ
mowers. 26S wagons and 2O7 sleighs,

Gently made.
In order to provide more money for
the purchase OF stock In the spring of
next year 1000 OF the young men OF
the community have volunteered for en-
pioyment on the construction work OF
the Canadian Northwestern lines next
winter II is estimated that each young
man will earn 500. and the sum of
500, 900 thus gained will be largely used
for the purchase of more stock and ma
chinery for the use OF the whole com
munity
Cornelius Jansen, a wealthy Quaker,
and brother Of Senator Jansen OF Me-
braska. has interested himself In the
matter OF the education OF the Douk-
