YOKOHAMA, March 1.-THE trans
port Shinshl Maru has been wrecked at
Chemulpo.
The Shinshi Maru was one of the YES
sells which brought Japanese laborers
to Hawaii in 1897 who were not allowed
to Qand The reason assigned was
that they could not comply with the
requirement of the Hawaiian immi-
grafton laws which made the possession
and ownership of $50 by the intending
immigrant, a prerequisite of landing.
The real reason war, as 1t has al
ways been understood, that the fear
prevailed that Japan had designs
on these islands and that these
Japanese instead of being genuine la
borers were soldiers in disguise being
landed here to seize the islands. Japan
made claim through diplomatic chan
nels for damages. The claim was re-
sisted and negotiations proceeded
through several months. Upon the
annexation of the Islands in July
1898, this claim was still pending, and
the administration of President Nc
Kinley, being then engaged in the war
with Spain, and not desiring any COM
plications or possible causes for fric-
ton with Japan or other nations, in a
diplomatic way secured assurances
from Japan that If $4,000 were offered,
1t would be accepted in full settlement
of the claims The administration urged
the Hawaiian government to make
that offer of settlement, which 1t did,
the Council of State being called to-
gether to make the appropriation, the
treasury being then in a plethoric state
The $4,000 was paid over as one Of the
last acts of abe government of the
Republic Of Hawaii, preceding the
transfer of sovereignty on August -,
1898.

"On the sixth instant our squadron
approached the northeastern forts Of
Vladivostok and demonstratively bonn
barded the port from p. m. for about
forty minutes and then withdrew. We

on the forts but they did not respond
to our fire.
"In the morning of the next day, the
seventh instant, our squadron survey
ed American Bay and Streroku Bay but
did not find the enemy's fleet in those
places. At noon on the same day we re.
turned to Vladivostok and approached
the east of the entrance to that port but
our examipation of the place gave us
no indication of the presence of the en-
.emys squadron in that harbor.
Later we surveyed Possiet Bay but
the enemy's fleet was not there"

Bisbee daily review., 1904-08-06

The really great men of the world it's greatest statesmen. greatest war. riors, greatest scientists, greatest ora tors, were poor boys used 10 manual labor. This is true also as a rule of men who have accumulated great wealth. Roosevelt is the only presi- dent born in the lap of luxury. But he was never mentally or physically idle as a youth. Dr. Richard Cole Newton in the Medical Record says: So far as known. the worlds leaders have. generally speaking, been of pow erful physique, and have also been men of simple tastes and abstemious lives. It has even been asserted that no man in this country has risen to eminence in either the medical or leg al profession who has not at some time worked with his hands"

THE DOLLARS OF
 THE DADDIEs DOOMED.

Everybody seems to have it in for the dollar of the daddies." With each diurnal turn of the globe silver falls lower as a money value and as a currency in the estimation of the peo- pie. It would seem that before silver could have any show gold would have to become so plentiful as not to be worth over 45 or 30 cents an ounce. The last blow comes from Washing ton in a semi-official announcement that probably the last silver dollar that will ever be issued by the govern ment of the United States has been coined. Only s40O,O00 in standard dol. lars were struck off in the month of June. Still, Uncle Sam has a huge supply of the big fat white dollars which the people show dislike to handle or carry around in their pock
 cts. They prefer the silver eer'if cates. The gold supply, June l, was s1.313.12O, ,OO0. The silver dollars were Iconsiderably less than half the amount of gold. and a trifle over one fifth the volume of the currency. It is suggested that the silver dollars or hand, which the people positively will
 not accept, be made the backing oi small bills in use. of s and less.

MARRIAGE MADE EASY WITHOUT UNDUE DELAY.

There was time owing 10 the great excess of the male over the female population of Arizona that the majority or the sterner sex in the territory were confronted with the fact that they were doomed to a life of single blessedness. There could be none of the joys of matrimony in theirs. The solitary prospector. as he prepar- ed his simple meal by his camp nre, and the restless cowpuncher, as he roamed back and forth over bis range, alike unused over the loneli- ness of their existence and regretted that they were denied a dS.aestic partner in their joys and sorrows. In this respect life in Arizona has en- tailed a certain amount of hardship in the past.
 But all this is to be changed. Ac- cording to the terms of an advertise ment being printed in a number of the territorial papers at present. a firm in London, Eng, agrees to furnish wives upon demand. All the appli- cant for a partner of his bosom must do is to press the button, with an or iginal tender of s5-the other fellow does the rest. In their announce ment the firm recites that in the Un- tied Kingdom there are million more women than men, and that the girls over there realize that unless they em. israte they stand an excellent chance of dying old maids. They are per. fectly willing to come to Arizona or any other old place, the only stipula ton being that the men they hitch ur with shall be good" ones. The firm agrees to satisfy all requirements A; to weight, height, complexion, color oi hair and eyes, and creed.
 Of course. this system knocks oui all the romance of courtsbip. It leave: no room for a moonlight drive, tender clasp of the hand and a lingerins over the front gate until the old mai comes out or the dog breaks loose. Blu after all, is this not a practical age And in the marvellous development O the mail-order system, is it any won der that it shall be extended to pro curing a wife as well as safet. razor? Tempora mutantur.
 Whatever the sentimentalists ma. urge against this system, the fact rs mains that it tends to satisfy lons felt want. and to this extent is to b sustained on the ground of sound pull lie policy. Arizona needs population
