Jap PRINCE COMING.
Brother of the Emperor Sails From
Toxic to Visit the United
. Cfo4ap

Washington, let. 26.-It was STATED,
that the purpose of the emperor of
Japan in sending to this country his
adopted brother, Prince Fushimi. who
Will reach San Francisco about tho
middle of November, is to strengthen
the traditional friendship between the
United States and Japan.
Mr.. Takahira, Japanese minister.
said:
When a person of dignity travels in
a foreign country it is almost always
the case that the occasion is used to
start some speculation in regard to the
object of such journey, so | do not ex-
pect h a exception should be made of
the visit of his imperial highness alone.
But to attribute it to the so-called
change in American feeling as re-
ported by some papers. is entirely Il
guess from wild imagination. The
princes visit to this country was origi-
nally brought into consideration as
long ago as last spring. but as 1t was a
part of its object to see the worlds fair
at st. Louis 1t was considered advis-
able to defer it to the autumn. when
the exhibits would be in a more COM
plete form for observation, and for that
reason this time was chosen for the
VISIT, but there is, Of course, no ques-
1lon about the principal object of his
visit being to strengthen thereby the
Tie or genuine friendship so happily ex,
.lStlng betWeen the United States and
Japan IN q most appropriate manner,
not in such patchwork fashion as
mas been reported in some quarters"

MARINES WILL REMAIN
Will Be Ready TO Deal With Any
EMERGENCY.

Washington, Oct. 24.-American ma
irines will be retained on the isthmus
of Panama for the present, prepared to
meet any emergency which may arise,
as the result of the d~isgruntled ele-
ments In the new republic. Orders
have been issued for a new battalion
OF marines to go to the sth1nus about
November is to relieve the battalion
which has been there for q year. The
new battalion will be commanded by
Lieutenant Colonel Thomas N. Wood.
I That the situation on the isthmus Is
still not all hat could be desired is the
news which has come to Washington
in q personal letter from an official now
in Panama. While the anama gov
eminent Is entirely neutral, it seems
thai there are certain d%isgruntled ele-
,ments in the isthmus, and in view Of
the ease with which revolutions are
started in Central and South America
It Is the official opinion here that the
marines should remain there Tor the
present.
It Is hoped that the mission Of Secre-
feet In bringing all elements on the
isthmus into harmonious accord with
this governments policy.

current here that a large body of armed
Colombians have been concentrated
near Culebra, with the intention OF
making an attack thereon on November

of Panama from Colombia. The canal

and allowing his money to be invested
safely, he stand to be one of the rich-

Brown. died ten days later and left him
another five millions. BY the time he
is q years old these $40, 900, 600 will
have grown into $50, 900, 900. When his
grandmother, Mrs. John Carter Brown,
dies, more millions will be piled on
these; when his mother. who was one
of the rich Brown sisters, dies, still
more millions will be added. He has
three palatiaI residences. One is In
New York city. at 931 Fifth avenues;
another is at Newport, IN Bellevue ave-
nue.; a third is in Providence, in the

BRITAIN Is ~PnO1PlnOUS
Revival of Industrial Prosperity Comes
for the First Time Since the
.. Socr War,

London, Oct. 26.-After a long period
of gloom 1t looks as though the dawn
of a brighter day really were breaking
now that the revival of business on the
stock exchange is making itself evil
dent in all directions.
Taking Bond street and Regent street
as the criterion Of Mayfair. it is evil
dent from the numbers of persons shop
ing that money is more plentiful. 1t is
confidently expressed that If things go
on as they are doing at present there
ought to be a substantial boon before
Christmas.
The shopkeepers are looking forward
to a more remunerative season than
they had since before the war in South
Africa. The theaterS, too, which al
ways are a guide to public feeling. are
packed nightly. Along the whole
horizon, in fact. the LIQUIDS appear to
be breaking after a period of gloom
which is considered the worst since the
early SOS.
Another reason for the people loosen
ing their purse strings, which so long
seemed no likelihood of the hard times
coming to an end. is that a general feel
ing now prevails that the danger of
international complications in the far
east is very remote.
London at the present time is fuller
thar it has been known for many Octo-
bers. The smart social world is re-
turning. and there seems to be more
life and hustle about han has been ap-
parent for a long time.

Year Sentence, Governor Cummins
Gives Him His Freedom.

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. Ex-Governor
Cummins has granted a parole to
Charles Cackley. who has served less
than a year of a f~ifteen-year sentence
for murder. Cackley's CRIME was COM
mitted t~hirty-seven years ago, Just af-
ter his return from the civil war, where
he served with honor. In a bunker
moment he stole a horse at Bonaparte
and killed Constable Reuben Fentzen-
maker when the latter attempted to-
arrest him. He was again captured and
placed in Jail, whence he escaped four
times. He was never heard of after
his last escape Until last winter, when
he applied for a pension under the
name OF John Beck, by which he had
been known since his ~escapade. The
government in looking up his record,
disclosed his true identity and brought
about his arrest IN the old charge.
He had been living in Washington
county, Mo, all his time. less than
fifty miles from Bonaparte. He had
married. reared a large family and be-
came highly respected. He entered q
plea Of guilty, throwing himself upon
the mercy of the court. The demand
for his parole was almost universal.

the Russian commander should have CONF
u.tted such n biupder as to fire on inof-

prevails In official circles. AT the same
time these officials are prompt to express
the opinion tina the Russian government
will prompaly disavow the act and apollo
rize when the facts are fully known. The
tragedy, 1t is realized, adds to the compli-
CARTONS which the Baltic fleet already has
encountered ever since 1t was determined
that the vessels should go to the far east.
No information of Friday nights occur

latter place the officials were quick to say
tbat the firing on the fishing vessels no
doubt was o mistake, for which the RUS
