MEN WHO RULE JAPAN.
Three Most Prominent In Present
Crisis in the East.

Thre men rule Japan's destinies In
her present war with Russia. The
first is Marquis Oyama, commander
of all the forces in the field-a small,
podgy, pock-marked man, whom no
caricaturist could fail to lampoon as
a frog. Next comes Gen. Baron ko-
DANA, the executive brain of the Japa-
nese general staff The third men,
Der of the triumvirate Is Gen. Fuku-
shima, whose genius has been the con-
crete mortar which has cemented into
solid block the rough-hewn material
of Japans general staff The three
men are of very small stature, and
Gen. Fukushima is fair for a Japa-
nese. Oyama's tremendous success Is
due to the fact that he whipped China
on the very fields over which he Is
now so diligently pursuing the Rus
slams. 1t is said that no other COM
mander in history has ever been call
ed to operate twice over the same
squares of the map. Oyama knows
Manchuria as well as he knows Toxic.

John Barrett, United States Minis

company, the other day. Said Mr.
Barrett:
"Mr. Cromwell, as you are probably
aware, We are staying at the same
hotel in Washington. A few days
ago l was standing at the hotel office
when you arrived and registered. AS
you turned away the clerk blotted the

hoarsely.

the bar to get drink, and as | stood
there you passed again. The bartend-

you, confided: That's New York

"Now, Mr.. Cromwell, am very
glad to meet you, but want to know,
do you get it?"
Mr.. Cromwell's answer was evasive
and Mr.. Barrett is wondering yet

viscount Hayashi Denies Heavy Jap

London, Oct. 10.-Viscount Hayashi,
the Japanese minister to Great Bri-
tain, In an interview published in the
Weekly Review, denies that the Jap
anese losses around Port Arthur have
been heavy, and says there is good
reason to think that the remainder OF
the Russian feet will soon make sor'

clared, will then be near.
"The war hitherto" the minister
further says, has done Japan mar
velous good. Her foreign trade Is
better than ever before and there Is
now not the slightest anxiety on the
subject of raising big loan. The
idea of the yellow peril Is ridiculous.

Albert Senoukne, the well-known
German astronomer. and an assistant
had a decidedly unpleasant experience
on Mont Blanc early in the month.
They made the ascent to the observa-

stay over night and do little work.
But when night came it brought a
terrific snowstorm and the two star
gazers were showed in high up on
the mountain for seven days. They
had no food but crackers and choco-
late and were nearly exhausted when
a rescuing party from the land below
reached them.

Fashionable Women Fence.

Fencing has become the vogue
among fashionable women in New

feet in the appel; they are learning
to thrust and parry, to engage in
quartz, to "cut over" to lunge. Daily
they are devoting more time to ac-
