JAPANs CONSTITUTION.
Important Difference Between It and
Constitutions of Western Nations.


Important Difference Between II and
Constitutions of Western Nations.
There Is an important difference be-
tween the constitutions of western ma
tons and that of Japan. The former
are the outcome of popular uprislngs
against the tyranny of rulers-in other
words. OF a demand, as of natural
right, by the people. Consequently,
even In monarchlcal Europe, constltu-
tons are drawn in such terms as to lay
the greatest stress upon popular rights,
while, at the same time, curtailing the
power of the sovereign. The Japanese
constitution, on the other hand, ema-
mated from the Emperor, the fountain
head of all power. Before the people
dieamed of popular rights or of par
lament. the Emperor had already
marked out the grand policy of estab-
fishing constitutional government in
the future, because Of his evident de-
sire and purpose to elevate the coun-
try to an equal place among the civil
lied nations of the world, not only be-
cause he wished 1t, but also because
that course was in strict accordance
with the national policy bequeathed by
his imperial ancestors. Following that
policy, our constitution was drawn up
with close adherence to and careful
preservation of the fundamental prin-
ciple of the imperial government from
time immemOrial.
In form, however. 1t is similar to
western constitutions, with this differ
ence, that the text of our constitutions
contains only the fundamental princi-
pies of State, namely, the prerogatives
OF the Emperor; the rights and duties
OF the people; the powers of Parlia-
ment; the powers and duties of minis
ters of state and judiciary and finance.
These are all embodied in seventy six
articles. Matters of detail. such, for
example, as provisions relating to the
rules and proceedings Of Parliament,
the laws for the election of members,
the national budget, etc, are separated
from articles enunciating fundamental
principles, and are embodied In laws
supplementary TO the constitution and
enacted at the same time.-Barou

of Japan in the Century.

MANY HOUSES WRECKED,
Property Loss From Tornado Is EST.
mated at $4,000.

st. Louis, Aug. pa more thor
ough estimate of the damage done
by the tornado which descended sud-
denly over a small area in North St.
Louis recently shows that in addition
to the loss of one life and the injury
of more than $50 persons, the damage
wrought by the storm is now estimat-
ed at $3.50 600. More than half of that
amount was done to manufacturing
plants. the remainder being divided
between owners of residence property,
more than 100 houses being more or
less seriously damaged.
On the east side, in the Illinois
towns of Venice and Granite City, the
damage is also greater than at first
supposed. Two lives were lost in that
vicinity and many property owners
suffered losses running from $4,000 to
$50. Traffic was resumed on the
Broadway car line today after having
been suspended for IS hours, although
the sides of the street are still lined
with wires and telephone cables and
the sidewalks cluttered with broken
telegraph poles and other wreckage.

LiehtIe Mystery Is Cleared.

DR.. r. G. Lightle, who was supposed
to have been burned in his barn at
Searcy, Ark, May %, and on whose
death insurance companies paid $751;
900 on policies, returned to Searcy and
surrendered to a deputy sheriff. Light
lie says he did not attempt to commit
fraud, but left suddenly because he
had corpse in his barn for dissect-
ing, and when the building burned he
feared he might be arrested for grave
robbery. Mrs. Lightle has returned
$15,50O of the insurance money.

AGED CHIEF WEEDS WHILE DYING
Makes Sure His Wife Will Inherit His
Property.


Slowly dying and scarcely able to
make the necessary utterances, James
Bah We Tux Yosh, chieftan of the
remnants of the Chippewa tribe, which
still live north of Bay City, Mich, has
been married to Martha G. Nah Shank,
who, according to Indian ceremony,
has been his wife for the past 40 years
Bah We Tux Yosh owns considerable
property. He is 20 years of age, and
his wife is SIS.
With death near he wished to in
sure his wife's possession of his goods
and chattels. Although the couple
have married children, the legal cere-
mony was necessary, because the law
will not recognize a common law mar
riage between Indians. 1t is said that
the original Indian marriage was the
greatest event of the times among
Michigan Indians.

CHICAGO UNION STOCK YARDS,
.'THE WORLDS BIGGEST BUTCHER SHOP"

"The worlds biggest butcher shop"
Is the term frequently applied to the
Union Stock Yards OF Chicago. and a
study of a few statistics will readily
demonstrate the reason In 1908 over
100000 carloads of live stock, valued
in round figures at $300,00O,000, were
slaughtered within the precincts of the
yards, or approximate to 90 per cent OF
the total receipts at all stock centers
in the country. Over $40,0O0,000 was
distributed in wages to over $4,000
men employed in various capacities
about the yards. This vast volume OF
business Is divided among nearly 100
firms. Many of these. however, are
comparatively unknown to the coun-
try at large and are controlled by the
Armour company, Swift q Co. Nelson
Morris, the Cudahys. and Schwarz-

frankie Noill, of Frisco, Is Now
Bantam Weight Champion.
He knocks Out Harry Forbes in
the Third Round.
1T WAS A FIERCE BOUT
Right to the Jaw Did the Act,
Putting Forbes to Sleep.
Did Not Recover Consciousness
for Several Moments.

Chicago, June 1S.-Frankie Neill of
San Francisco last night at the Wa
very Athletic club knocked out
Harry Forbes in the third round
Forbes was knocked senseIess and
was carried unconscious from his cor
ner- This is taken to settle all dis
putes of the bantam weight cham
pionship. In the first the advantage
was on the side of Forbes, but it was
slight in the second. NeiI landed
some very heavy blows on Forbes
stomach, and Forbes put in a number
of left JabS and right uppercutS on
the champions face. The blows, how
ever, had little effect on Neiu, who
rushed constantly through the round.
AT the opening of the third round
it seemed that Forbes was about to
gain the upperhand. He sent a
straight left to NeillS face, straight
enlng him up, and then crossed with
the right to the jaw. He repeated
this twice more without a return. AS
they backed away from a. clinch Neill
let go a vicious left swing which
caught Forbes fairly on the chin and
he went to the floor. He was up at
the count of nine, but was weak
Nell sent another left to the jaw, and
FORBES went down for the second
| time. While he was lying on the floor
his seconds threw a towel into the
ring as a token of defeat, but neither
of the fighters nor the referee noticed,
and as soon as Forbes was on his feet
the hight began more f1ercely than be-
fore Forbes put a right on NeilPs
Jaw that sent him whirling across the
ring Neill recovered quickly and
rushed, and as Forbes came to meet
| him Neill hooked his right to the Jaw.
| The blow lifted Forbes clear off his
feet and he struck the floor on the
top OF his head. He was completely
knocked out, and did not recover
consciousness for several minutes.

American ID Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 13.-The an
nouncement that the American league
is coming to Pittsburg next season is
not without believers here, but it is
known that the peace agreement en-
tered into between the two leagues
at Cincinnati must be broken in or
der to do so. The field is open here.
Since the peace agreement was signed
Barney Dreyfuss, of the Pittsburg
team, has given up two good sites
which he held, one adjoining EXPOSE
ton park, the other Recreation park,
where the National league played be-
fore it came to the new park. Either
of these sites is now open for lease,
and there is nothing to prevent the
American from coming in if it is de-
cided to violate the agreement.
