4 SMALLPOX THREATENS.
Number Of Cases in Piedmont

# fLYNcrIBuRG. VA, December lO.-some
anxiety is occasioncd BY health officials
iii this section OF the State as to the
prospect for smallpox during the reinrIn-
der OF the winter. There are several
cases IN white families Ii Lynchburs.
Another is reported 1iear Darlington.
Campbell county. and still another ut
Oakvillcs In Appomnttox county.
1t is feared that there will be some
trouble experienced from the fact that
number OF persons last winter concealed
the fact that they had the disease from
the health officials, and the contagion may
be spread, as they again resort to the use
of the wearing apparel and bed clothing
that were used last year whch they were

Eyention and all rules OF precedence.
The report was favored by Mr., J. w.
Bailey, editor Of the Biblical Reader, Ind
Rev. Baylus Cade. who Is one OF the most
prominent members Of the conventions.
The whole OF the afternoon session was
taken UP with discussion Of the mat

were made on both sides.
n A resolution was offered which was
characterized by DR.. Cade rs saying thnt
"our religious convictions prevent us from
doing what We are convinced Is right
but we are glad you arc doing It," and
was defeated, and after considerable
other discussion the report Of the COM.

we then proceed with the long-con-

That Russia had her eyes on India
and was already intriguing with Tibet
was generally understood, but that a
Russian prince and gentleman of the
bedchamber and confidential friend OF
the czar should declare the purpose OF
Russia to wrest India from England at

Of Russian ambition and ultimate aim
which justifies every assumption or

Russian and Japanese Credit.

Altho nothing of an official nature
has as yet been given out it is known
in the financial world that the pre-.
lininaries relative to a second Japan
csc loan are being taken up in Lon
don. Japan wishes to float new
series of bonds covering S6O,00O,0OO,
to bear interest at 51s per cent.
Whether she will offer them all or.
content herself for the time being with
upon conditions Of the day in the
money centers. The best offers drawn
by the tentative inquiries indicate that
a $6O,000,000 loan will have to be
fioated at about 90. When Japan
f1oated her first war bonds about two
months ago she raised $50,000,000 on
the basis Of 93@93A. Her credit
therefore would appear to be practi-
cally unchanged, for while 80 is Of
fered for the new loan, something a
shade better is likely to be obtained
upon actual fotation, and, moreover,
| the first loan was a per cent inter-
est bearing proposition, while present

per cent.
Russia and Japan came into the
money markets as borrowers at almost
the same time and it was surprise
4 to many, when the two former loans
were consummated, to learn that Rus
Japan, or 5000, 100000, and offering
| her bonds at per cent, was enabled
| to sell them at 9S@9sh or points

The Secret of Japanese Success

Visitors to the st. Louis exposition
no longer wonder at the victories of
the Japanese over the Russians. 1t is
is the leader Of the foreign nations
displaying the products Of their skill
at the great fair.
It is not only in. their own peculiar
arts that the Japanese make re-
markedly good exhibits; but in the
arts and sciences which were unknown
to Japanese civilization forty years
ago they make exhibits which in no
way betray the fact that not a genera
ton has passed since the whole ma
ton was utterly ignorant Of the whole
body Of modern science and industrial
art
The Japanese have not merely ex-
changed the sword Of the samurai for
the highpower rifle and the feudal
melee for scientific military tactics
within a generation, but they have ex-
changed a large part Of the methods,
customs and usages Of one civiliza ton
for those Of another. They had a
civilization which, like that Of the
Chinese, had reached it's perfection
ages ago, and yet they have in a few
years put it away and taken one civil
lization they perceived to be superior
to theirs, or rather they have taken
over all Of that civilization that they
deemed superior.
What other nation in the world Is
capable of such a revolution? Is
there not constant complaint that the
elder nations of Europe find it impos.
sible to keep up with the pace set by
the United States in the development
of essentially the same form of civil
lization? Compare Russia's me
dievalism and backwardness with ia
.Ipan's modernity. Yet Russia has beer
in close touch with the progressive ma
tions of the western world for at leas
two centuries.
