REAL ESTATE HEN
 READY FOR BUSINESS

The Real Estate Owners association starts off its fall campaign with meeting to be held in Frank B. O'Neill's office Monday night. The as- sociation was formed last spring and several policies were adopted whereby when the association is in full swing the landlord and the tenant can reach a better understanding with each oth- CT. When the association was formed a certain few got the impress sion that, the object of the association was to grind down the tenant, make him pay the highest rents, give him the least accommodation for his money and raise hob generally. Those who know the aims and objects of the or ganization know this to be erroneous. When 1t was announced short time ago that some rents had been reduced, people smiled incredulously, but such was the case nevertheless, and this ac- ton on the part of the landlords was directly the result of their organiza- ton. One of the main objects of the Real Estate Owners association is DO get the tenant to cooperate with the landlord in reducing, the cost of re pairs by taking good care of the tene- ment in his charge; by notifying the landlord of his intended departure, so that the landlord can find a new ten- ant in ample time so that there will be no loss of rent, which eventually comes out of the tenant, and to create feeling of mutual confidence be- tween landlord and tenant If the tenant could only understand that this associa tion Is for his benefit as well. as the landlords there would be less trouble for all concerned. At the meeting Monday might every one in terested in property is cordially invited to be present.

VENICE, Sept 24. The report pub Iished in the United States by news agency that an attempt had been made to assassinate Don Carlos. the Spanish pretender, is without foundation.

JAPAN'S NAVAL OFFICERS
The Rigorous Training to Which They
Are Subjected.


Lieutenant Commander X. Sato Of
the imperial Japanese navy. in a lee
ture before the Royal United Service
institution. said: In the education of
naval cadents, we may note that be-
sides mathematics, physics and chem
istry and drawing, the language
which the cadets learn in addition TO
their own, is English. During Their
three years course they give Is hours
week to study, of which in the earlier
years eight are given to gunnery am
seamanship, and in the later ones an
merry, seamanship, torpedo, navigation
and engineering work. They learn
wrestling, too, and the art of self de-
Tense.
When the cadet becomes a mid
shipman he undergoes education IN
special training ships, and it is rather
curious that the three ships set apart
for these studies were the heaviest
cruisers (4,200 tons) which Japan had
in the China-Japanese war-the Mat
sushima, the Itsukushima and the
Hashidote- When this course is COM
pleted, the midshipman continues his
education in the ships of the standing
fleet. When a midshfpman rises to shs
rank of sublieutenant and lieutenant
his education is far from finished.
Captains have to superintend the in
structiOn of officers under them, to en-
courage them and to make every effort
to educate them in the duties of their

There is a theoretical side OF their
education, and this constitutes the for
nation of every officer so far as posi-
BILE into an intelligence officer, the main
idea of the essays they are invited to
write and the lectures they must at
tend being the cultivation of what is
very properly called shop and, as
such, justly admired in Japanese naval
circles. There follow the courses Of
instruction in the High Naval college
at Tokyo, and there are four different
courses-(a) for selected lieutenants to
be educated in higher military matters
so as to enable them to fulfill import
ant positions. This is analogous to
naval staff, college education, and in
cludes as subjects strategy, tactics.
naval history, fertilization, legal, mill
tary administration, gunnery, torpedo,
navigation, engineering and shipbuild-
ing courses. Another course OBJ gives
higher education in gunnery, torpedo
or navigation duties. The course Co
is provided for captains, commanders
and senior neutenants. who may take
up the further study of any specialize
ed branch of their profession, and.
lastly, there is the course i'd, which
is broadly defined as a higher course
of naval strategy or tactics. London

eating that the increase was chiefly
due to a few failures of exceptional
size. This fact is emphasized by the
statement published each month in
this paper, separating the failures for
100000 or more from the larger num-
Der of comparatively small bankrupt
cies. These normal failures are the
more accurate indications of business
conditions. and for the latest month
make fairly satisfactory comparisons
with preceding years. Thus, over half
the total manufacturing liabilities ia
March were provided by eleven large
failures, and the remaining 224 suspen-
sions averaged an Indebtedness of only
So. 528 each, which is much less than
similar average for any preceding
March Of the past decade. The sub
traction of failures for over 100000
each produces a less striking result in
trading, only five large failures being
reported with slightly over a million
dollars in liabilities, leaving an aver
age of S7.26S for the remaining $40
failures, which exceeds any March
since 1897. Including all commercial
defaults. the statement shows that 21
large failures eliminate much more
than half the total Indebtedness.

MERCANTILE MORTALITY.

Mercantile mortality statistics for
the opening months of 1904 appear al
first glance not to be very satisfactory.
says r. G. Dun & Co. and if aggre-
gate liabilities are considered alone
the returns are certainly somewhat
discouraging. But careful examina-
ton of the classified statement dis
closes several important facts. Num-
erically, the increase over last years
failures is not per cent while the ex-
cess of S13. zoo, 900 in defaulted liablli-
ties is largely confined to the misceI-
laneous class of brokers, agents. etc.
In the two principal commercial divis-
Ions of manufacturers and traders the
Increased Indebtedness is of only mod
crate proportions. The sensational
features Of the quarters return are
found in suspensions of fire insur-
ance companies, cotton brokers and
similar concerns.
Liabilities in the first quarter of 1904
were smaller than in the last quarter
of 1903, but exceeded any other three
month period since the fourth quarter
= 1896. but as to number the record
this year is not above normal, indi-
