OFFICERS
FROM UNITED STATES

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1O-w. NJ
Yamanaka, a graduate of the Military
School of Japan and an officer in the
Japanese army, has arrived in the city
from Fort Collins, Col, where he has
been attending the Agricultural Col
lege.
One cabled word, "Hoshukaere," is
taking Yamanaka and thousands of
his countrymen across 5000 miles OF
water, and sending them to the front
to face Russian bullets and bayonets.
Yamanaka speaks good English. He
says:
THE war between Russia and ia
pan is not, as most Americans be-
lieve, over a province in China, but Is
the result of encroachment by Russia
100 years ago. At that time a Russian
fleet anchored in japanese waters and
demanded that Sakhalen island, which
is almost as large as Japan itself, be
coded to Russia.
1--WE had no navy nor weapons of
modern warfare and We're never able
to refuse Russia's demand. This island
is rich in resources, gold and silver,
agriculture and fishing. We have been
taught in our schools of the robbery

strong enough to retake Sakhalen and
will not cease fighting until it is again

over ! expect to return to America

The question of ingredients and
proper spraying apparatus is very i'm
portant one. Failure is in the majority
of cases due to poor material or in
sufficient aoparatis. A cheap pump,
which soon becomes useless, is always
more expensive than well-nade outfit
at whatever cost. For field spraying
where the ground is rocky and uneven,

be found suitable while on level land,
which will permit wagon passing

found the mere desirable. These are

THE PACIFIC MAIL
LOSES ITS APPEAL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Chief JUS
tice Fuller of the United States Su-
preme Court today announced that the
court has refused writ of certiorari
in the case of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company VS.. Sarah Guyon. The
case involved the question of damages
on account of the wreck of the passen-
ger steamship City of Rio de Janeiro,
which sank off the Golden Gate at San
Francisco in 1901, carrying 100 persons,
including Consul General Wildman.
The case was test one, and it was
charged that although twenty minutes
time elapsed after the signal to lower
the boats before the catastrophe oc-
Cured, only one boat was foated. This,
the steamship company claimed, was
due to the fact that many members of
the crew were Chinese and could not
understand the orders given them, but
the court refused to limit liability on
this account.
The purpose of the petition for a
writ of certiorari was to bring the case
to the Supreme Court for review, and
the denial has the effect of making final
the decision of the Circuit Court of APP
peals for the Ninth Circuit. which was
favorable to the passengers.
