PUBLIC WORKS IN JAPAN.
Opportunities for American Trade
Opened Up by the Wal
with Russia.

If Japan enterprises of all kinds are
necessarily affected by the outbreak OF
war and it is not possible just at present
to report with certainty on any oppor-
tunities for supplying materials or OBJ
tanning contracts for the construction
of public or semipublic works. Money
which has been intended for the extern
sion of government railway lines has
been diverted to other uses, and it is
stated that the government will stop
work on ali new lines except those need
ed for transporting military supplies.
The Sanyo Railway company had in con-
temptation the doubling of its tracks
and other improvements during this
year, but whether the directors of the
company VIII proceed with their plans
under present disturbed conditions may
well be doubted.
y The increased cost of labor is already
a noticeable factor in industrial condi-
tons and the probability of a continued
rise, together with the difficulty of Sc
curing workmen, introduces a specula-
tive element into contracts for construc-
tion which will render them very unde-
sirable during the coming season. In
this regard foreigners are at a great
disadvantage as compared with natives,
because they do not know so well where
to look for laborers and the traditions
of the country cause workmen to eX-
pect higher wages when employed by a
foreigner.
There may be a considerable demand
for certain kinds of foreign steel and
iron which the japanese are not yet able
to supply from their own foundries.
American firms DESTROYS of competing
in the business of furnishing these sup
plies will find it to their advantage to
place an agency with a firm already es-
tablished in this country and operate
through them, instead of attempting to
negotiate with japanese government or
company officials by mail from their
offices in the United States.

THE MAKING OF CHAMPAGNE
Most Germans Manufacturing This
Wine Obtain Their Grapes
from France.

On February IL. 1904, Court Pur-
veyor J. Fromm delivered a lecture
before the general meeting Of the Hor-
ticultural society at Frankfort with
reference 10 the manufacture of cham
payne.
He said that the cultivation of grapes
for the manufacture of champagne
oates no farther back than to the time
when cork was used for shoppers of the
champagne bottles.
Perignon, the butler of a monastery
near Epernay, in France, is said to
have made champagne successfully in
1913. At first sparkling wines were
only made in the French province of
Champagne. In the early part Of the
nineteenth century the first expert
ments TO manufacture sparkling wines
were made in Germany. The wines,
however, grown in Champagne are
best suited for this purpose, hence
most of the German firms manufactur.
ing champagnes obtain their wines
from Champagne and mix them with
German wines. Next to the wine, car
pIll W us lllt lllOoN IllIIOi AhilA
part of sparkling wine. The picking
of the grapes used for champagne re-
quires great care so as to prevent dis
celebration. The grapes should not on
tain too much acid and coloring mat
.or, but considerable sugar.
In order that the grapes should not
become warm, thereby fermenting
mann t1rn1u piaI-fuo g., 1ono - tho
early morning hours. The grapes are
then placed in the press at once and
the juice squeezed out very gently.
After II to "a hours it is run into watts.
where its impurities are removed.
After the first violent fermentation is
over the young wine is put in cool eel
lars into barrels of from 1875 to $50
gallons. Toward the end of December
the young wine is drawn off in order
to separate it completely from the
yeast.
The perfectly clear wine is now so
far developed as to enable one to judge
of its quality,
For the further steps of manufacture,
however, wines of different years and
kinds must be mixed.
Filled into bottles, the wine has to
undergo another fermentation.
On account of this the bottles must
be able to resist strong pressure and
therefore are of a peculiar shape.
The bottles are stacked in the cellar.
whore this fermentation in the bottles
takes place. During the process of
fermentation the sugar is decomposed
into alcohol and carbonic acid.
Foreign Observation-Disclosures. yeast
and other sediments-are removed by
what is termed "disgorging."
In consequence of this fermentation
the wine has now lost its sugar con-
tents. Through dosing the wine Is
again sweetened by means of a sweet
liquor. Disgorging of the wine re-
quires great care, so that the least pos
sible quantity of wine and of carbonic
acid is lost. After the champagne has
been sweetened by dosing. the bottle
is closed with a cork from the Cata-
lonian cork oak and Kept in the cellars
for some time before the champagne
is ready for market.

The Cheapness of Life.

In the matter of thrillings, human
nature seems to obey some hitherto
untabulated law of selection. Let a
regiment of 900 men be decimated
in a charge upon a Santiago outwork,
and the country resoIlnds with a min
gled cry of praise and lamentation.
But in every peaceful year of the
world more than eight entire regi-
ments of lives are lost in railroad &C
cidents in the United States; and so
the man who reads about them over
his coffee and chop in the morning
be not bereaved personally or by near
proxy, he experiences only a perfume
tory shock now and again when some
notable wreck punches the killing and
wounding a thought too unevenly.-

A HITCH
Perdicaris and Marley VIII Not he
Free as soon as Expected.

Free as Soon as Expected.
WASHINGTON, June 10. United
States Consul General Gummere, ut
Tangier, Morocco, has cabled to the
state department indicating that the
negotiations for the release of Perdi-
caris and Marley have not yet been
completed. Just where the hitch Is
cannot be learned.
1t is suspected that it relates to the
veXed question of a guarantee by the
United States and Great Britain of i'm
munity for Raisuli and the faithful OBJ
Servance of the sultan's promises. As
Il result of these adviccs officials here
have changed their opinion as to the
date of the release of the captives and
say hat several days must yet elapse
before they will be free.
French occupation has been urged as
the only remedy for the serious inter
nal condition of Morocco, rs Il revolu-
ton is practically certain within Il
couple of months, and it will be sup
ported by the entire educated class.
The sultan's authority is virtually non
existent, and until the country is occu-
pied Europeans are on the edge of Il
volcano. Should France avoid her re-
sponsibility America or Great Britain
may be forced into energetic action,
thus creating Il situation similar to
that existing in Egypt.

American Machines in France.

AS showing a tendency to accept any
marked American improvement, even
in conservative France, the proprietors
of a paper plant at Rives, in Isere, have
recently contracted with an American
inventor for the control of a patent COW
ering a machine for the quicker and
more economical drying of paper. The
inventor. a practical engineer, has been
on the ground explaining and proving
the superiority of his machine-a meth
cd which seems to be the most success
full for the introduction of new trade,
and even for the enlargement of trade
already established. This same in
ventor has in a short time succeeded in
disposing of the rights to manufacture
his machine to special paper manufac-
turers in England. Germany, Holland,
Sweden, Switzerland, Austria and
Russia.

IItONTON, OF, June Io.-The speclal
grand jury called TO investigate the
Hanging Rock labor trouble has made
its report as follows: I'VE have investi-
gated as fully us possible the recent
shooting ut Hanging Rock, and we
have no hesitation in saying that the
mayor and marshal of that village
utterly failed to do their duty at the
outset and during the trouble. We
believe the circumstances existing in
that village fully warranted the sheriff
in ealing on the governor for troops,
and we commend both the sheriff and
rhe troops in suppressing the lawless-
ness then existing in the village of

FIGHT AT VAFANCOW
Japanese Opened With Heavy
Artillery Fire.
RUSSIANS REPORT SEVERE LOSSES
Twenty hOuSa Japs Tried to Out
flank the Position. but Were re-
p~uISed-R ussinn officers of High
Rank Killed or wounded.

LONDON, June 15.-Advices from
st. Petersburg say Emperor Nicholas
has received the following telegram
from Lieutenant General Baron Sta
kelbcrg:
"A battle began at moor around the
Russian position four and Il half miles
south of the railway station of Vafan-
| gov, the enemy making repeated at
tempts to dislodge otr left flank. The
attack was repealed, and we retained
our position.
"Thc first regiment occupying the
left flank of Il position sustained Sc
we're losses. It's commander, Colonel
Khavastounoir, and Adjutant Sublieu-
tenant Dragoslaff Nadochinsky were
killed. General Gerngross was wound
cd, a shrapnel bullet SCATTERING the
right side Of his lower jaw, but he re-
manned on the field
The Japanese artillery opened the
battle with a heavy cannonade upon
Nafangow. n station on the railway
twenty-five miles above Kinchau. The
fighting extended along the entire
front, assuming the dimensions of 4
general engagement. Japanese troops
numbering 10000 tried to pass our
flank. but were discovered. We changed
our position, flanking the japanese,
and opened a heavy fire.
A Tokyo dispatch says that while the
Taihoku was engaged in laying mines
at the entrance to Port Arthur a mine
exploded, killing one officer and eight
cen men and wounding two officers
and even men. The Taihoku, which is
Il naval transport, was not seriously
damaged.
The officer killed in the accident was
Lieutenant Commander Oda. He was
the inventor Of the japanese mine and
by his great Az and skill through
out the operations before Port Arthur
had added largely to his reputation.
The Taihoku at the time of the acct
dent was under Il heavy fire from the
Russian forts and torpedo boats.
