and table at which he might take OF
much needed rcrrcshment. The story
goes on to relate how the unfortunate
Kun was turned away from the polls
on election day for the same strong
reasons that prompted his friends ia
close their doors upon him.
Kuu's friend reports that he has fin.

has again been received by his fam

Yonehara is the man alleged to
have been murdered by fellow Jap
anese on the Sd instant. He was cook
ing at the Walmanalo plantation and
had quarrel with two countrymen.
Yonehara was left bleeding from knife
wounds In the neck. DR.. Judd. who
performed the autopsy, says that the
man bled to death, that he might have
been saved II he had been attended In
time. This case the Grand Jury now
has under sinsideration.
Halter, the Pinkerton, waited many
minutes in the hallway to be called by
the Grand Jury. Finally the proceed.
ings in the Waimanalo murder case
were interrupted so that he might give
certain testimony on other matters. He
was not before the inquisition very
long, probably not more than twenty
minutes, being let out of the chamber
by back door when the examiners
were through with him.
Hnttor's knowledge of naughty
things Is divided into two classes:
What he has seen and what he has
heard lie is religiously refraining
from repeating anything he has heard
before the Grand Jury, combining him.

keeps in touch with the Governor and

Is not yet generally known by sight

see him generally take pains TO point

him out to a number OF ladies and
gentlemen from the transport as the
man who broke the police at Homo.

Mayor Reed was present with his
City ball rooters from Kansa $
City. and a gentleman by the
name of Atwood was imported
from Kansas to make a speech
bristling with II lerhand digs at
the st. Louis prosecutor. Letters
from Mr.. Have nd other invited
guests who coul not be present
were read, but q letter from Mr..
Folk, who, unlike Mr.. Reed, will
not neglect his duties in order to
push his candidacy, was suppressed
until repeated demands were made
for it. An enthusiastic Folk dem
onstration followed its reading.
Mr.. Reed, as usual broke into
print with an an attack on Folk
for not being present but had no
fault with Mr.. Halves for being
absent. Doe Whtecotton says the
most deplorable feature of the af-
fair was the popping of beer eorks
while minister of the gospel was
invoking divine blessing upon
the gathering. But the politicians
were dry aud cared no more for
the usual properties than they do
for the will of the people.

Make1 a Stir-His Opinions
Much Sought.

Jennings Bryan, before leaving
/ the city to-day on his way back to
/ Lincoln, Neb., visited Mayor Me-
! Clcllan at the City Hall, expressed
/ the opinion that Grover Cleveland
could not be elected President, aud
| declared the Kansas City platform
would be re affirmed by the Demo-
cratic National Convention.
Although lac did not arrive here
until late On Thursday night and
| left at noon to-day. Mr.. Bryan
made quite stir during his brief
stay. Norman +. Mack, ut whose
/ invitation he went to the Hoffman
House, tried in vain to bring about
II meeting between the Nebraskan
aud David b. Hill, who happened
| to begin the Hoffman House at the
same time.
Mr. Mack is helping along the
/ Parker boom, and there were many
Parker men at the Hoffman House
when Mr.. Bryan registered. Mr..
Muck had figured it ont that Mr..
Bryan aud Mr.. Hill would reach
the dining room for breakfast
about the same time this morning,
aud that a meeting would be una
vOidublc. He sounded both men
on the subject aud told them it
would be great aid to Democratic
harmony if they would &c. togeth-
er. Mr.. Hill received the propo-
sition coldly. Mr.. Bryan then
promptly disSented, and the result
was that Mr.. Mack and Mr.. Bryan
breakfasted alone, while Mr.. Hill
kept his room.
The other Parker men in the hO-
tel, who had expected Il meeting,
were disappointed. They culcuIa-
ted that if Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Hill
met the Parker stock would have
gone up. 1t was known that Mr..
! Hin Lad come to this city for the
purpose of comforting with Mr..
Parker's friends, and to get MIR.
Bryan into the company Of Mr..
Hill would, in Mr.. Mack's opinion
at least, be il strong card.
After breakfasting, Mr.. Bryan
boarded Broadway car and went
to the City Hall.
The Mayor and Mr. Bryan went
into the formers private Office and
convcrsed for fifteen minutes. Gu
, riously enough, Mr.. Bryan talked
to the Mayor about the city's nc.

if he were named for President
lie said he had made it rule no

Women in Japan.

From the Waco Times Herald
Onoto Watana, whose knowledge OF the
Japanese was required at first hand, con-
tributes a readable and informing article On
Everyday Life in Japan to the current
Harpers Weekly. in which she writes EN-
tertainingly of the manners and customs OF
the Mikados people-their home life, their
habits, their traditions. Speaking of the
japanese women, she controverts the wide
spread belief among western nations that
they are simply slaves to their husbands.
little better than upper servants in their
households. If she is slave, says the
writer, she is very happy slave and her
lot is an enviable one. The husband takes
upon his shoulders the burden of business
and leaves her with the children. She shares
in their Joys and il as innocent as they. But
one does not confide ones deepest thoughts,
ones dearest hopes and ambitions TO ones
slave One does not earnestly listen to and
heed the advice of ones slave; one does not
unquestioningly give ones children into
the hands of ones slave, nor does one
cherish ones slave as a pearl. So the Japa-
ness woman is a very happy slave.

Woman Suffrage in England.

From the London Spectator.
On Wednesday a motion by Mr.. McLaren
declaring that the disabilities of women in
respect to the franchise ought to be re-
moved by legislation was carried in the
house of commons bye 114o Qs2 to 6S)-a
heavy majority, obtained, however, in a
very thin house. No member of political
eminence Joined in the debate, but Mr. La
bouchere resisted the, proposal on the
ground that women did not desire 1t, which
is doubtful. There is, however, no serious
intention of sanctioning Re change. against
which there are three, solid reasons. One
is that, women being In a,Iarge majority.
1T would one day, when the suffrage is
again extended, involve complete revolu-
ton: another, and the most serious, is that
If the masculine minority resisted the femi-
nine majority the latter would have no
means of enforcing their will, and legal
right would thus be separated from actual
power; while the third is human instinct
If henpecked man is universally despised,
why is henpecked state to be respected?
The proposal Is one of many which always
succeed until they become serious.
