The Inexorable Law.

In tho January number of the North
hclc by Mr.. Adachi Kinnosuke, Japa-
neso citizen, In which he gave forecast
OF Japan's terms of peace lie said that
Japan had several old scores to settle
with her enemy. one of which was the
grabbing by Russia of the Island Of
Sakhalin i'll 1875.
'.Eor many years" he wrote, ut has
been no secret with us, the people of
Nippon, that there is one wish somewhat
dearer to the heart Of his Majesty, the
Emperor, than others. On the day when
father, the Empire of Nippon contained
the Island Of Sakhnlin; on the day when
he will vacate the dais in favor of his
heir, he would see on the map of Nippon
at least every inch of the soil which had
known the gracious rule of his father. =
1t now appears that Mr.. Kinnosuke
knew what he was talking about. Japan
has not waited for the terms Of peace
to be arranged. She has stepped in and
taken back this coveted possession, which
Russia took away from her thirty years
ago. If it be true that revenge is sweet,
Japan in taking this island and Port Ar
thur has rolled two delicious morsels
under her tongue Russia has brow -bca ten
her for years. but Japan's turn has come
at last.
The island of sakhalin is in the sea
OF Okhotsk, east of Siberia and north of
Yczo, and has an area of 24,560 square
miles and a population of 10000. The
climate is extremely cold and It Is worth
very little for settlement purposes, al.
though it Is said to be rich In coal and
perhaps other minerals and has on It's
borders fms fishing grounds. It has been
used by Russia as penal settlement
and report Is that the condition of tho
convicts there is deplorablc. Now tina,
Japan has taken possession, the worst
will soon be known and another Skeleton
IN Russia's closet will probably be DRAGGED
out and exposed to the gaze OF the world
What does 1t all mean? Is Russia
cursed of God? Is this a visitation o.
divine wrath? No. 1t is the curse o.
the law that Is written, "Whatsoveyer {
man soweth, that shall he also reap" l
is incxorable Russians calamities are a
her own making.

Aeronaut's Brave Act.

straight drop of 1000 feet to what seemed
certain death William Garfield. a Boston

Lynn Common Saturday night In order TO
save Mrs. Camille Stafford. woman
aeronaut who assembled with him. She
escaped unhurt. He was badly injured
by striking the side Of house as his
parachute swung in, the strong wind.
Five thousand persons witnessed his
startling descent
At the time he leaped the balloon was

of Lynn. 1t was leaking badly and the
aeronauts' combined weight was n drag.
Canfieldy saw that the only way to save
the woman was for him to cut loose in
his parachute.

Commander Robert u. Peary Is an UNI

I have no other answer to give than that
which has already been given. If you
mean anything different, admitting Of

This terminated the correspondence be-

then taken up between ". p. Van Ness,
representing Burr, and Nathaniel Pen
dleton. but they could not come to n

Could anything be more pathetic? And
to make it more So Hamilton added and
left of record this statement: II have
resolved, If our interview Is conducted
in the usual manner. and It please God
TO give me the opportunity, to reserve
and throw away my first fire. and I
have thoughts even of reserving my sec
ond fire, and thus giving double oppor-
tunity to pause and reflect
But the opportunity was not given to
him. Burr's aim was sure; his first
shot went into the vitals Of Hamilton.
and he fell with mortal wound. Hamil-
ton, when struck. fell forward on his
face, his pistol being discharged as he
sank to the ground. but without being
aimed at Burr.
There is no more pathetic story in
American history, and II Is strange that
the duel was able to survive the tragedy.
