Croker. Former New York Boss, Pro
poses to Drive American Pig
Out of Ireland.

Richard Croker has begun his resi-
dence in Ireland by throwing himself
into the Industrial revival that is pro-
ceeding there. His first scheme is the
creation of a bacon factory in Tipperary.
He is not going to run 1t exclusively as
his own, but he Is finding the money to
set the machinery in motion. He has
planked down $4,000 to put up build
ing, which will be supplied with the lat
est machinery and appliances for bacon
curing purposes. He has financed a
delegation which is now exploring Dem
mark for the purpose of ascertaining the
latest methods employed in that country
in creameries and bacon curing.
It is Mr.. Cookers intention to work
the factory on the cooperative principle.
He has made thorough investigation
into the possibilities of the proposed
business and he has satisfied himself
that the native product will drive
American bacon out Of ireland. He is

was graduated from Yale in 1889, and
then studied forestry in France, Ger

He also served as member of the

forest reserves. He has been a large
contributor to the literature of the
subject which supplies his lifework,
and has done much in this way to
bring it home to the popular COM

der the department Of agriculture on
July l. 1898, and has gradually per-
fected the organization of a superb
working force of young men which

FAIRBANKS A CANDIDATE.
Indiana Senator Said to BE WllllnR
to Accept the Nomination for
Vice President.

The close political friends of Senator
Charles w. Fairbanks, Of Indiana, say
that he has changed his mind in regard
to the nomination for vice president on
the republican ticket, and that he will
accept the nomination IL it is rendered
to him.
The senator's position is such that he
cannot come out with an open declara-
ton of his candidacy. but among his
friends 1t is considered that he Is as
much in the race as though he had come
out in a formal and public announce
ment.
The members of the Indiana delega-
ton in congress take it for granted that
Fairbanks will be nominated for vice
president, ard are formulating plans to
fill his place in the senate.

THE STORY OF JAPAN
, It Reads Like a Chapter from a
Work of Fiction.
Nation Was Deep In Oriental sl.mber
until Our Navy Woke 1t Up
Great Progress Made in
Half . Century.

Originally the islands that made up
DIAL Nippin, or Great Japan, were peo-
pied by Caucasian race, who occupy
in japanese history position similar
to the early Britons in English history.
These people, now represented by the
hairy Anus of northern Yeddo, were
driven northward by the swarm of Mon
goltans, who swept across Corea from
northern China. The first great leader
known was Jimmu Tenno, who founded
his dynasty about geo B. c. He is del
he'd as the descendant Of Amaterasu,
Goddess of the Sun. Another string of
Mongolics came from the Malaysia by
way of the string of islands. To this
southern strain is probably due the mer-
curtal temperament of the Japs. Super
dcially the Japs seem to resemble the
Chinese, but close examination proves
that the race has been evolved inde-
pendently. They, however, absorbed
the earlier Chinese civilization.
The history Of the succeeding CEN
turtles is vague until about 200 A. D.,
when an amazonian empress by the ap-
propriate name of lingo captured Corea.
This campaign was a big thing for
Japan in more ways than one. The vas
sails brought with their tributes the
knowledge of writing, the civilization of
China, the mulberry and the silk worm.
The art Of spinning and weaving fol-
lowed, and IT, the year 552 the first image
of Buddha appeared. In the succeeding
century there was perfect rage-like
that now for western ideas-for the civ
ilization of China. Arts, customs and
opinions-whether of society, morals or
politics-were assimilated with the
greatest ardor. Buddhism made rapid
progress. Feudalism was instituted and
great offices were made hereditary and
the shotgun Of Yeddo (sho-general, gun
army became of greater power than the
mikado. In the fifteenth century the

est to the economic life of the entire
community is much deeper and more
far-reaching than anywhere else. The
preservation of the forest is not mere
ly a question of a continued supply of
timber in its raw and manufactured
forms. but it is also question of con-
serving the water supply, upon which
agriculture and mining are directly,
and all other kinds of business indi-
rectly, dependent.
The New~York Tribune thinks there
is inspiration in the work to which
Clifford Pinchot has set his hand. He
is not only aiming to establish for
estry system under which existing tim
Der belts shall yield their product for
ever in regular crops. but to make
trees spring into life where they have
been wantonly destroyed and even
where they have never grown within
the memory of living man.
A bill now pending in congress and
favorably reported in the house pro-
vides for the transfer of these reserves
to Mr.. Pinchot's bureau of forestry, in
which is to be consolidated all the for
estry work Of the government, now
divided among several bureaus.
But the government, looking to its
present welfare, as we'll as to future
generations, will have to go further
even thar this. The present practice,
under the timber and stone law, of
selling at $3.50 an acre timber lands
which are worth in many instances
$50 and even 500 an acre is likely
to give way to the placing of all the
public timber in the reserves. to be
forever owned by the government, the
government forester to sell the timber
thereon, but under regulations which
will insure the perpetuation of the for
ests and prevent the denudation Of vast
areas and preserve water supplies. BY
selling government timber at its real
market value the government would
obtain 81, 000, 900 where it now receives
$1,000. under the operation Of the tim
Der and stone law To this end a mod
fication Of the desert land act and the
enactment of new timber and stone
act, whereby the government will be
authorized to sell timber at its actual
value, are to be attempted in a bill
introduced by Senator Hansbrough.
The official statement of the COM
missioner of the general land Office
that the government has lost in actual
cash between $1O0.000,000 and $115,-
OOO,O through the operation of the
timber and stone act will doubtless
be a powerful arguwent in favor of
the enactment Of the new law.

Ne is still in the same attitude of inde-
cision and he probably realizes that it
would not be dignified for him to declare
his candidacy or urge his friends t9Iwork

out along the line among his followers
that he will take the nomination.
Two candidates for the prospective
vacancy in the senate are already in the
field. They are Representative Hem

tee on appropriations, and ex-Gov.

factor in determining the selection. The

litical machine since coming to WASH

be as big man at the white house as his

readily to the new visitors and new Gus
toms. But the visitors were too free,
and were ordered away in 1897. BY 1893,
after terrible persecution, Christianity
was extirpated and all foreigners were
kept away except the Chinese and Dutch
traders. This expulsion was accom-
plished by the Tokugawa shoguns, who
introduced horrible system of espion-
age, which has left its mark until the
present day in the shape of dishonesty
and lack of civic courage.
When Commodore Perry knocked at
the door of Japan in 1854, the shotgun
Yale and the last phase of medievalism
fell before modern civilization. That
date, when the treaty of the United
States was signed, March 81, 1854, was
the birth of modern Japan. Yokohama,
Nagasaki and Hakodate were opened to
trade in 1859, and the next year we sent
a minister to the court of the mikado.
The daimios, or military leaders,
were long time in accepting the
changed conditions, and there were
many attacks on the foreigners. Our
own legation was attacked in 1861, and
an Interpreter killed, and the legation
was burned in 1863. Reprisals and punt
tive expeditions followed for several
years, and it was 1868 before order came
about after the young mikado had over

when the mikado moved to Tedo,
changed its name to Toxic and made it
the capital of the empire: He soon abol-
fshed the feudal system and began to
copy the ideas Of the western civiliza-
ton. The first newspaper appeared in
1870, and the first railway was opened
two years later. History moved rap
idly after that, and the country was
opened to foreigners generally. The
edict against Christians was removed
and missionaries welcomed. A consti-
tuition granted to the people went into
effect in 1889. Japan declared war on
China on February ~, 1895. which last
ed less than q year. After the treaty of
peace, Russia stepped In and robbed
