He was not an admiralty lawyer, but

scoffed at tricky memories, dashed as

Modern Japanese diplomacy has won
many notable victories. 1t is therefore
but natural to conclude that the mikado

corps in every way, especially at this
time when several European nations
have not yet made up their minds
whether to sympathize with Russia or
Japan in the present conflict in the far
east. BY reason of the Importance Of
London as a diplomatic center it Is
highly essential that Japan should have

Snake TORPID in 4 Tree.

Charles Mcclure and John Crouch, OF
Zionsville, Ind, felled large tree which
stood on a farm owned by James Breh-
del. When the tree had fallen to the
ground q large hole, which appeared to
be a squirrel den, was found in the
forks of the tree, about 80 feet from the
butt. In this hole a torpid blacksnake
five feet long was found. Mr.. Snake
had crawled into this hole last fall to
lie in wait for squirrels, and had rsex-

 Other delegates engaged in simi- lar discussion, whereupon the chair urged the Congress to refrain from re- marks of a controversial character. It was finally voted almost unanimously to refer the resolution to the general committee on questions of the day, for further consideration and rearrange- ment.
 The committee on propaganda, in its report had vast number of recom- mendations to make. This committee proposed to establish in all leading cities of the world branches of the Berne peace bureau; to appeal to the world for t7,o0o.opo. the price of one first-class battieshfp. to be spent for literature and lectures: to refer to a later congress the proposal for uni versal alphabet and language. and that a universal peace prayer be formulated by all religious denominations that cod will enable the nations of the earth to settle theft disputes peacably."

 Phoenix, Ariz, Oct. 7.---According to the most reliable advices obtainable re- garding the troubles at Morenci. Arix.. mining town in Graham County, over the alleged attempt to sell foundIings from New York City. the situation is not as serious as has been reported.
 Reliable advices from Clifton. town near Morenci. are that forty children were sent out by the New York Found. ling and Orphan Asylum. Sixteen of these were placed in families in Clif- ton and twenty-four were taken to Mo- renci, where the majority of them were placed with poor Mexican families. The American residents of Morenci objected to the children being placed with a class of Mexicans who, they claimed. were entirely united to have the care of them.
 An indignation meeting was held in Clifton and resulted in the arrest of c. W. swayne. the agent of the asylum and the local priest. The people de- manded that the children be put in the care of American families. but swayne refused to do this and said he would take them back to New York.
 Objection was made to the giving over of the children into Swayne's charge and 1t was said by some that they might be taken by other Mexicans.
 The latest authentic report Ia that Swayne is awaiting instructions from the asylum officials in New York.
 The purpose of syawne and assistants seems to have been to place the chill dreh with Catholic families in this sec tion, of whom there are few except Mexicans. While charges have been made that the children were being sold. there appears to be nothing to substan- tiate this claim.
