JAPANESE LOSSES In Two YEARS.
According to the official figures given
out long after the close of the war be-
tween Japan and China, the former
country lost, all told, 4,110 men by
death. or these 3,14S died Of disease
and 231 from wounds. The number
slain In battle was only 734. The jap
anese lost about that number killed on
the field, at Kinchou and Nanshan hill.
They have had at least 1900 or 1.4O0
soldiers killed or drowned at sea, be-
sides as many seamen Of their fighting
ships. At the Yalu river and at Va
fangow the Japanese casualties must
have included at least 500 men killed
on the field, and other engagements
may have cost them 200 more soldiers
slain. Altogether the losses by death
in the present war. without taking ac-
count of disease, certainly equal the
whole mortality of the war with China,
including the 3,14s deaths due to sick
ness. There Is really no comparison
between the work the japanese forces
have been called on to do on sea and
land in the present struggle and the
easy tasks set before them In the one
sided war with China.-NeW York

TiLLMAN ON BRlcE BILL.
Makes Some Remarks While In Spar.
tanbura.

tanpur9.
Senator B. R. Tillman, "the father
of the dispensary law" arrived in the
city this morning from Washington.
enroute to Clemson college, to attend
a meeting Of the board Of trustees,
says the Spartanburg Journal.
AS soon as the train stopped the
senator alighted from the train, and,
seeking the shade Of q box car, he
called for paper, and newsboys were
soon crying New York and Atlanta
papers, but the senator wanted a CO.
lumbia paper, and as these had not
arrived he began to talk with the re-
porters who were at the depot.
The senator delivered some hot shot
into the movement now on foot
throughout the state to have the Brice
bill amended and restored to It's orig
inal shape so that local option elec-
tions can be held in counties desiring
them.
What do think Of the movement"
repeated the senator as he was dis
cussing several topics at the same
time with the reporters. "Tll tell you
what I think about It," and the sena-
tors voice bespoke the hidden feeling
back Of his statement. II think 1t is
like an underhanded attempt at assas-
sination-that's what I think Of It."

pensary pay for running the thing and

will say 1t straight-no honest man
could support such measure, as far
AS can figure it out"
Il know that I may be hitting
hundred fellows in the legislature, but
can't help 1t. My opinion'-what
are you talking about? It's not mere
opinion. am the father Of the dis
pensary law. I believe. and have had
a little acquaintance with 1t and It's
origin. They would have the dispen-
sary run out Of a county and then
make the dispensary system pay for
keeping out their blind tigers and see
ing that the law is upheld"
mo, sir; 1t Is not right" The SEN
ator holds that II a county wants the
dispensary put out, 1t should not look
to the dispensary system for protec-
tion against the blind tigers, which
Senator Tillman says would spring up
and furthermore, he does not regard
1t as an honest business proposition,
as he intimates above, in saying that
no honest man would support such
movement, as far as he can see 1t.
The senator's train pulled out while he
was talking. and the reporter had no
time to ask the senator what he would
regard as a satisfactory arrangement
for counties which might vote down
the dispensary in order to have the
prohibition law upheld and violations
of it punished according to law.

JAPANESE BULLETS.
Arc Mild Missiles and Will Pierce the
Brain Without Killing.

An interesting account Is given by
the st. Petersburg correspondent Of
the Daily Telegraph Of remarkable
recoveries Of Russian soldiers from
wounds made by what they term jap
anese toy bullets.
These bullets, say Russian surgeons,
are If not perfectly harmless, at least
the next best thing to that, forming
the mildest kind Of missile that has
ever yet been fired from rifle.
One Of the consequences Is that q
number Of wounds, which formerly
were mortal, are now healed and for
gotten in a few days.
"Up till now bullet in the head
remarked a Russian physician who is
collecting data on the surgical aspect
of the present war, (which pierced the
brain was certain to cause death. But
here We have case In which missile
actually went through the medulia OBJ
longata, yet the man who received the
wound and cracked skull was smiling
and complaining Of slight headache
only on wet days.
"All the men in the hospital have IT,
ny wounds, smaller than a threepenny
bit, a mere red stain, nothing more.
A medical investigator, inquirins
from Russian officers as to the char
acter Of the Japanese bullet was told:
Compared with ours the Japanese
bullet is tiny, but its velocity is con-
siderably greater. Our magazine RI
f1e takes a bullet Of three lines and i'm
parts to 1t an initial velocity Of $40
meters, whereas the Japanese rifles
have a 25 line bullet, with an initial
velocity Of 725 meters. The Japanese
bullet only penetrates the tissue, but
does not tear 1t.

It infiicts the minimum Of damage. It's
chief effect being to expand the mus

contract, closing the oriflce. thus saw
