Japan in Korea.

A shrewd people not only willing but
anxious TO trade, the Japanese will
welcome foreign capital in the develop
ment of Korea. and this will be for the
advantage of the world. Indeed, the
Je- nese victory will generally make
for the worlds good, for its ultimate
purpose is the regeneration of China
TO such an extent as to make her a
power with which all the nations can
do business. 70 this end Japan's
management Of Korea will be a pow
erful combination. The Japanese
statesmen in the midst of their tri-
umph are careful of the susceptibilities
of the Koreans. They do not rudely
tear down the native dynasty, but, ini-
tating the British methods in Egypt,
they leave ii in possession of the trap
pings of state, while planting japanese
influence firmly in all the important
administrative agencies of the country.

Greek Exports to us.

From the report of M Keck, the
French consular agent at Kalamata.
Greece, 1T appears that the export trade
from Kalamata to the United States Is
increasing. M. Keck refers to the large
quantities of currants which are sent
to the United States and to the ex-
portation Of about $4,000 worth Of vari-
Gus kinds Of cheese, and about $1,000
worth of hides, as we'll as the exporta-
tion of figs and various other articles
(olives, olive oil, and so forth) More
than 100000 pounds of currants were
exported from Kalamata to the United
States in 1903, and NJ. Keck thinks that
part of the currants shipped at Pa
tras came from the Kalamata district.
In speaking Of importation, M. Keck
refers to the quantities of German ar
ticles brought to Kalamata as more or
less dominating the market on account
of their cheapness and of the easy
terms afforded to the Greek buyer. He
mentions the large number of Ger
man commercial travellers in this dis
trict.-New York Commercial.

WHERE NOAH'S
ARK WAS BUILT
Archaeologist Claims to
Have Made Important
Discoveries i'll Egypt
Special Dispatch to The Call.


INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. Tx. ".
Millard, who now resides in this city.
has been for several years studying
archaeology in Egypt. For the last
year, until his recent return to this
country, he was engaged in making
excavations at various places on the
Nile, especially at Gizeh. in the neigh
borhood of the great pyramid Of
Cheops.
'I have discovered" said Millard.
''just where Noah lived, where the ark
was built and that Noah built the great
pyramid of Khufu, known as the pyra-
mid of Gizeh.
Noah was the greatest King this
world has ever seen. He was the great
est of the Egyptian JPharaohs, not ex-
cepting Rameses the Great
Noah was a millionaire. The biblical
account of the flood gives no clew as
to where he lived or where his ship car
penters were at work for 120 years con-
structing the ark.
Noah was 900 years old when the
flood came. 1t is evident that he must
have been a millionaire and man of
great authority. He built the ark at
his own expense. Such a boat in those
times would have cost more than half
a million dollars.
Noah built the great pyramid dur

Popping the Question.

One of the millionaire cotton mer-
chants Of the United States was ex-
ceedingly timid in the presence of his
adored one. Everybody knew he was
desperately in love, but he had not
courage to pop the question. The par
ents of the girl invited him to spend
the weeks end at their country place,
with a view to help matters along. In
stead OF a blessing or grace at the
table it was the family's habit to re-
cite a verse from the Bible, and all
guests were invited to join in this di-
version With matrimony on the brain

when called on at the breakfast Sun
day morning-"He that getteth a wife
getteth a good thing from the Lord "
After that everything was easy. He

Russian scouts on the night of No

Reports that the Japanese are
transferring large forces to the right
flank continue to be repeated. If this
proves TO be the case the tactics made
use of at Liaoyang will be repeated.
The Chinese say that the Japanese
are simply interchanging various bod
les of troops, not concentrating in the
east, but keeping their main forces in
reserve in order to thoroughly reform
them and give them repOse prepara-
tory to the coming fight.
All are anxiousIy wondering wheth-

that they are still too weak for such

KELLY ATTACKS
SWEDISH COUNT
Descendant of Kings Beaten
by Well Known Pugilist
Armed With a Heavy Cane
MAY LOSE HIS LICENSE
Police Arrest the Fighter
and Secure an Affidavit
From the Man He. Assailed

The name of one of Swedens most
distinguished families appears on an
affidavit filed with the Police Commits
sioners yesterday charging Spider"
Kelly, the prize-fighter. with conduct
unoecoming a citizen, and is likely to
result in Kelly forfeiting his license as
saloon-keeper. The document will be
used Dy the police at tomorrow nights
meeting OF the Commissioners as evil
dence against the prize-fighter, who
VIII be summoned before that body to
snow cause why he should not be de-
prlVed OF the privilege of conducting
saloon. Kelly's troubles are the out
growth OF an unwarranted attack made
by him early Saturday morning on
Count Nils Bonde of Sweden and one
or the latters travelling companions,
who have been guests at the Palace
Hotel for several days.
Inc Count who is direct descendant
OF one OF Swedens most illustrious
Kings, accompanied by Baron w. A.
son Grebst, a prominent young journal
1st and poet Of Gothenburg, and Chris
Hollngworth, a scion of one of the
wealthy families of the same city, ar
rived here a few days ago. and under
the guidance of Baron son Grebst, who
has visited San Francisco before, he
and Hollingworth have been enjoying
the sights of the city before and after
dark Friday night the trio partook OF
a late supper at the Techau Tavern and
at its conclusion they started down
Mason street toward Market on their
way to the Palace. They had not pro-
ceeded far, however before they were
suddenly pounced upon by Kelly, who
was drunk and apparently was not
pleased with the gentlemanly appear
ance of the strangers. Without warn
ing Kelly struck the Count a heavy
blow on the arm with a cane, and
second later he assailed the Baron in a
similar manner.
Then Policeman Smith interfered
and the entire party was hurried off to
the City. Hall, where Kelly was charged
with-drunk. The policeman wanted to
charge the priZe-fghter with assaulting
the Swedes, but the latter persuaded
him to brAg the milder charge. so that
they might avoid the annoyance of ap-
pearing in the Police Court against
Kelly.
Yesterday Kelly while telling his
friends in the tenderloin of his previous
nights experience was suddenly sur
prised by receiving a summons to ap-
pear before the Police Commissioners
tomorrow night to answer charges
preferred against him. Although the
distinguished visitors from Sweden
had refused to prosecute Kelly in the
court because they disliked the noto-
riety, they were yesterday persuaded
by Captain of Police Duke to make
an affidavit regarding Kelly's conduct,
and steps were at once taken by the
police to prepare strong case against
the priZe-fghter.

Very Easy for Her.

A "womans reason" with all its
traditional lack of logic, came out in
an amusing fashion at recent dinner
party in Brooklyn.
In the course of the evening the con-
versation drifted around to those odd
little mathematical bits of the How
old-is-Ann variety, when one of the
company. with explanations that the
next problem would not be q very diff
cult one, questioned as follows:
IF a bottle and a cork together
cost 81 10, and the bottle costs dollar
more than the cork, how much did the
cork cost ?"
Almost instantly one of the ladies
was ready with the answer:
why, the cork cost 8 cents and
the bottle 81 05. That's too leasy."
The lady's husband, familiar through
years of experience with her woeful
lack of skill in figures, looked up in
astonishment.
"Heavensl" he exclaimed. How did
you come to get that so soon ?''
why, my dear" was the reply,

evening at the First Presbyterian
Church. the rendition of this superb
composition being a noteworthy musi-
cal event in the history of choir work

had give unusual effort. The full choir
Of fifty voices and a quartet Of soloists,
besides Leader Rowlands, took part.
This was the second time that the work

city.
During the first part the magnificent
barytone solo, "A New Heaven and a
New Earth" was sung with splendid
effect by Mr.. Rowlands. with the ac-
compartment of an invisible chorus.
The solo gave the choir leader oppor-
tunity to use his resonant barytone in
all of it's fullness. and fine technique.
The choruses were strong and were
ably handled.
In the solo numbers were heard Mrs.
Carrie Brown Dexter and Miss Louise
Stubbs. sopranos; Mrs. Gussie Berg

The organist was Miss Virginia
