papers have again been refused for DIR.
A. Il. Disbrow, who is wanted here to
answer to the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses, and Deputy Sheriff
Parberryis on his way home, after having
exhausted every resource to secure his
man. Disbrow's defense was that the
Union Pacific is unduly interested in get
ting him out of the way on account of a
suit which he has against that road for
$50, 900 damages for injuries alleged to have
been sustained in a wreck.
In support of this contention he intro
duced in evidence copy of a Whatcom
paper containing an interview with At
torney Rich of Omaha, representing the
company, in which he said the Union
Pacific would do all it could to aid this
county in securing his eXtraditon. This
statement was made by Mr. Rich while
here last year looking up Disbrow's record.
Disbrow has been in Lincoln, Neb., for
some time, and Governor Mickey of that
state has twice refused to give him up.

TOXIC, May 2o.-The spirits of the dead
are watching over the Japanese navy.
That the navy has come to no harm in
the recent battles and that its work
has been so successful, people in Japan
believe, is due to this faot.
OF a religion where ancestral worship
is practically the only worship, II is not
strange that the people should believe that
the spirits of those whe have gone before
should watch over the country and the
country's arms in the present crisis.
The latest manifestation of the watch
full care of the spirits of the dead over
Japan's arms came the other night TO no
less a person than her imperial majesty,
the empress. In the night vision APP
peared to her. In halo of light stood
an old man, patriarohal in appearance
with white hair and ! long white beard
He was dressed in the japanese uniform
Of three score years ago and he spoke to
the empress.
Il have come from the land of the
dead" he said, 'to tell your majesty that
all is well with your navy. For many
years my life was devoted to the building
up of this navy, and am constantly
watching over it. ! have seen it, and it is
it's battles for my emperor. Have no fear,
for, with the knowledge of the land Of
the dead, know"
And then the vision gradually faded
away until it had vanished altogether.
When the empress awoke in the mora
Ing, the vision remained wildly with her
Every word the spirit had spoken, every
line of his face and figure were wildly
impressed on her mind.
She told the oourtiers Of her dream and
described to them the old man. They
were astounded and soon brought to her
portrait, which she identified as that
of her ghostly visitor.
1t was the portrait Of Baron Inamoto,
one of the greatest men of the early days
of the new Japan. He was a great soldier,
