Thirty-four years ago, at the mika-
dos summons, Rev. William Elliott
Griffis went to Japan, says the Hart
ford Courant He was successfully
provincial superintendent of schools
and professor Of physics in the imperial
university at Toxic. AS a Christian
minister he cannot be suspected of un-

says the yellow peril is a mere night

commercial, not martial She stands

and religious liberty. Russia is domi-
Bated at present by absolutism and IA
naticism, bureaucracy and priestcraft.
All the world should wish Japan sue
cess in this war and we Americans
most OF all, She's fighting our battle.
Japanese success is the best possible
thing for Russia herself. Let Russia
be curbed and humbled and arrested in
her crusade says Rev. DR.. Grifis "and
she will turn around and loo1 inward
and begin to educate and civiitze her
own people
Rev. David S. Spencer has been <

agrees with DR.. Griffis that talk about
the yellow peril is all folderol. THE

have done all they could to discourage

sionaTy Spencer is convinced that
there is no drawer people on earth than
the Japanese and none more intelli-
gently patriotic. He hopes with all his
heart that Japan may win.
So does Rev. James n. Pettee. an
other veteran missionary. He says
that the sympathy of Christendom
should be given to Japan tunreseryed-

safe to say that most women have no
more definite idea of what makes q

light turns ON or the telephone rings.
They very properly answer that they
do not run cable cars or inspect tele-
phones; but though they may ride on
cars and call up central without be-

cannot run q motor without being alb

thread and wire of the machine. This
necessity is formidable indeed to u

erection OF a steel-constructed build

master her machine.
There is a story of a man who had
virtually acceded to tile plea Of his
wife that he buy her a car of her
own. when this point occurred to him,
and he reviewed with some alarm his
wife's inability to mend the lid Of her
inkstand, or the clasp of her hand

him.

made signs and exhibited wonders.
Presently he worked out for her the
reason that steam engine goes"
And when he had finished she said:
Eyes, dear. And I never understood
before how just that apple falling

The republican speaker of the house
OF congress- refused Bourke Cockran's
request for the appointment of com
mittee to investigate the national cleo
ton of 1895. OF course he did. There
is no one foolish enough, we hope, to
believe that the party that spent six
teen millions of dollars to elect its
candidate was going to tell where it
was spent and for what purpose. The
old political war horses whom Speaker
Cannon consulted over night put their
feet down nard and solid on such an
absurd proposition. If Mark Hanna
were alive now he could tell something
about where the money went, but as
he is dead and gone, the republicans
no doubt will not fry to dig
up unpleasant memories. 1t
Is Dalzell's turn to speak now, and the
country is looking on to see how he
is going to cover his retreat after the
battle he provoked.

An unusual case in international
law has arisen at Nome Alaska,
through the moving of gamblers eject
ed by federal decree to a point on the
ice beyond the three-mile limit, says
an exchange. Thus their establish
ment Is not in or on territorial waters
Of the United States, and is not sub
ject to its jurisdiction. For Bering
Sea, it has judicially been decided, is
not mare clausum. Tt is not territor-
ial water of the United States, and
the faro bankers of Nome are, until
precedent to the contrary be alleged,
constructively on the high seas. And
yet admiralty law seems hardly to
cover the case, for there is no evidence
that the bank can be technically re-
garded as an American vessel upon
the high seas. It appears likely that
being without proper articles, a seiz-
ure' for piracy would be sustained by
the courts. Animus furandi could
easily be proved unless the Nome
gamblers ARE notably superior to their
class In honesty. In any case the To-
cal United States marshals have a
very pretty opportunity to establish d
new precedent in international law,
and the incident points an omission
in that science. We need to know
the status of coast ice beyond the
three-mile limit. Is it as common
sense suggests, a periodic extension of
the land, to whatever distance the ice
rim runs, or does it become the sea at
the three-mile limit? It is a very
practical question in the circumpolar
regions, and we'll worth calculation
by some boreal Grotius.
