HOW THE WAR WILL BENEFIT JAPAN

slams do, but their religious wisdom
seems to be more deeply seated. For
merly the Japanese attributed all
the good things they had and their
success in war to the help of the
spirit of the emperor; now they at
tribute all their fortunate happen
ings to the help of heaven This is
one of the changes which has shown
itself since the war with China"
I'm case Japan overcomes Russia
in the present struggle, will not the
yellow peril manifest itself?" was
asked.
To this Mr. Jones replied, mo,
sir! Japan is too thoroughly west
ernized in her ideas that there is no
possible chance for that Japan Is
coming to a consciousness of her
controlling position in the East and
the government is acting very wisely
and has a feeling of responsibility.
Though the mass of the people are
still Oriental, the government is
westernized. The success of Japan

No Glue to Perpetrators.
Not scrap of clothing was about
the body, and there doesn't seem to
be the slightest clue to the perpe-
traitors of the gruesome deed. Had
the body been pushed under the
track it would have fallen into the
bay and might never have been
found The fact that this was not
done leads to the conclusion that the
person or persons who are respon-
sible for the crime spent but little

Whether or not the child was

the edge of the water on Dock street,

AS soon as the discovery was made
a crowd of worlmen gathered near

Parker Seems Safe.


ST. LOUIS, July 2.-If the views
OF the delegates, alternates and 9TH
ers interested in the Democratic ma
tional convention now here are to be
taken as a criterion, the nomination
of Parker would seem to be assured,
either on the second or the third
ballot.
Hearst Boom Flat.
Thus far the Hearst boom has
fallen fiat and the loyalty of the
delegation instructed for him is put
in question. Allegations are made
in all seriousness that he cannot de-
pend ON Illinois, Washington, Idaho,
Oregon or Missouri, and that at the
first break the delegates from each
and all of these states will flock to
Parker.
German if Not Parker.
The convention leaders are posi-
tive that if Parker is defeated the
nomination will not go to any Other
New Yorker, meaning Mcclellan, or
to any Tammany favorite, meaning
Cleveland. The German talk grows
stronger, and with Parker eliminated
there is a disposition to concede that
the strong position will be held by
the Marylander.

Of course, Williams platform will
be subject to revision by the other
party leaders, chief among whom viii
be Hill of New York and Carmack
of Tennessee. Williams was the
author of the platform adopted by

will form the groundwork of the
platform which will be approved by
the conservative element of the big
convention.
