we notice in the Japanese newspa-

of the little brown men to carry Port
Arthur by storm. The belief that the
place will have to be reduced by siege
is prevalent. This view accords with

Gle Sam does heavy training for war.
Firing lately from big guns has been
tremendously heavy, the decorations
being severe enough to shake the earth
of fifteen miles. On the lower shore
of Long Island and at some places a
long the Jersey shore houses shake and
dishes and other articles are broken,
windows are cracked, and there is a
general smash-up, when the big guns
are fired. 1t is a disagreeable remind
er of war. Shots are fired at sea and
when, they explode in the water the

BIRD SKIN ASSETS.

fTlf1e-e is good reason to believe that
the $4,000 worth of birdskins on List
1ansh island belong to the Territory of
Hawaii The island is ours; the skins
represent the spoil of poachers; the
right of the Territory to sieze its prop
erty wherever found is undisputed. This
paper has put the question to men who
know and these say without reserve
that the skins are ours.
1t follows shat the Territory may
send for them, may sieze them if they
are brought here by private parties or
may, in case a japanese relief schooner
has taken them off the island, press a
claim against Japan, through the State
Department at Washington, for their
value.
Twenty thousand dollars worth of
birdskins might be profitably turned
into cash to pay school teachers or
pave streets.

AN AMAZING COW.

Secretary William H. Taft has a

The common excuse for not going to
church in San Francisco is that one gets
fieas. The wicked flea is partial to
church upholstery and being an agent
of the devil browses also upon the flesh
of the righteous. But a new church
in the Western Addition of the coast
city is making itself as immune as it
can by using a cork carpet which is
said to send the adult flea, hence with
a smaller one in its ear. In the adver-
tisements of the church the carpet is
so conspicuously mentioned that pater
familias is obliged to fall back on the
danger of earthquakes as an excuse for
not entering large building. The

KITES AS PROPHETS.

On the flat housetops of Morocco
girls may often be seen flying kites
which they believe will give an augury
of their future. If the kite remains un-
broken good fortune is in store for
them; if mishap befall it evil days will
be their portion. Their faith in the
oracle is so great that mishap to the
kite plunges them in detection.

Mrs. Botkin told at length of her re-
lations with John P. Dunning, whom
she said she first met in Golden Gate

Sacramento, Cal, April 2. Just be-
fore IL o'clock Thursday night, as the
south-bound train reached Copley, near
heswick, three men jumped the train
and cut the train in two, taking the
engine and express car down the track
a short distance. They stopped the en-
gine and demanded that Messenger
O'Neill open the express car. He re-
fused, whereupon they deliberately
killed him by shooting him through
the head The bandits then blew up
and robbed the express car of its con-
tents, but It is not known how much
they got.
After robbing, the express car the
men cut the car loose, and, getting on
the engine, compelled Engineer joe
sink to go ahead When near Keswick
the men dropped off the engine and
disappeared in the night with their
plumber.
There were two safes in the car, a
heavy through safe and smaller 10
cal safe. The local safe was blown to
atoms, and the top of the through safe
was blown Off Tiny pieces Of green
backs and twisted coins covered the
floor 1t is certain that the robbers did
not get great amount of plunder, al
though their laundering work may
have destroyed thousands of dollars.

THE ST. LOUIS GRAND JURY
The Principal Recommen da on
Made il the EllminatiOn of the
Police From Politics.

st. Louis, April 2-The February
grand jury, in its final report to Judge
Taylor, suggests to Gov. Dockery that
non-partisan board of police COM
missione!s be appointed, with view
to the removal Of the police force from
politics. Following are extracts from
the report:
"The personnel of our police force is
excellent, and when political consider
ations are not involved they are most
efficient. Examples of their self-con-
troll, bravery and heroism have been
placed before us, challenging our high
est admiration, and their disassocia-
tion from politics would. make them in
ferior TO none; and we can not too
strongly recommend 10 the governor of
the state that this be done.
I'VE lean to the theory that policing
is a function of the state and that
power TO control should be lodged with
the governor, but we do strongly be-
lieve, for the best interest of the city,
in the exercise of that power through
the police board, partizan political in
tiuence should be entirely eliminated,
and this can only be done through
non-partizan board of police commits
sioners.
ut is OF the greatest Importance for
the welfare of the city that our gov
ernor 10 this at once and make the
necessary changes in the present
board as the Worlds fair is to be
opened shortly and the strain on the
police force will be greater than il has
ever been.
ut would simplify the conduct of
municipal affairs If there were but one
large legislative body of from forty to
sixty members, instead Of two bodies,
as now is the case in this city. Our city
should be run as large corporation is
run-upon business principles and en-
tirely removed from the domain of
politics."
