of worship in Detroit. The dis
tinguished Japanese was the last
speaker at the afternoon session, but
the audience did not turn toward the
door when he finished. With one i'm
pulse delegates and spectators strug-
gled to get nearer to the uniformed
swarthy foreigner who stood behind
the preachers desk. Surgeon General
Suzuki looked about him perplexed.
There was the making of panic in
the mob that was struggling all
around him. 1t was necessary for
John J. McCook, of New York, who
had been presiding, to conduct the be-
sieged speaker through a rear door
to the street.
It was through Robert E. Galley,
the Y. M. C. A. secretary at Tien Tsin.
that the Japanese surgeon general was
requested to address the convention.
General Suzuki had related his story
to Mr.. Galley while they We're cross
ing the Pacific together. The latter
then upon finding that the army and
navy surgeons convention at Detroit,
which Suzuki was coming to attend,
and the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. conven-
ton would occur the same week, no
tilted the promoters of the latter that
the noted Japanese ought to be re-
quested to speak.

he died. He told of the incident, but
said he did not get to see the face of

Kropacek was living in that vicinity
at that time, but was not suspected.
The murder was SO brutal that it was
attributed to an insane man, but KrO-

It that time A year later he was adj
judged insane and sent to the asylum,
but released as cured in six months.

THINK HE'S THE MAN.
Ottawa People Believe Kropacek Is
Job Murder Suspect.

F. r. Ramsdell and C. H. Tuman re-
turned to Ottawa last night after look
ing at Joseph ]. Kropacek, who is in
the asylum.
After seeing Kropacek at the asylum
Mr.. RamsdeH said:
II don't want to do anything to harm
an innocent man, but if I were called
upon to testify in court I would have
to say as I do now, that l am conf1-
dent that this man tried to break into
my house on the night of March q. ON
that night I was awakened by the
tearing of the bolt on my back door.
got up to investigate, and as / step
ped into the hall the lightning flashed
and / saw a man pass the window and
look in at me. He wore a long rain
coat, or sliclzer. He was dark of COM
plexion, and had heavy moustache.
The electric flash made his features as
plain as though it were daytime ana
this is undoubtedly the man."
On the same night Mr.. Tuman was
alone in his restaurant at First and
Main streets. A stranger, wearing a
long slicker coat, came into the place
and ordered bowl of chilli Wnlle MI.
Tuman was in the kitchen getting the
order, the man changed his position at
the lunch counter, getting further from
the front door.
1.-THE man said nothing further than
to give his order by single word
telling of the occurrence
When / brought it to him, noticed
that something was wrong with his left
arm. While not paralyzed, it seemed
to be stiff and he carried it bent with
his hand about level with his stomach.
He placed this arm in front of him on
the counter, and ate about two mouth
fuls of the chilli, reaching over his
crooked arm to the bowl Then the
city fire bell rang, and he spoke for the
first time: Where's the fire?' he asked
/ told him that it was near the depot,
and he got UP and walked out.
IT can see remarkable resemblance
to this man in the asylum, and the only
thing which differs srom my descrip-
ton at that time is that this man does
not seem to be as tall by couple of
inches as the man who came into my
place that night Perhaps that can be
explained by the difference in dress
When I saw him today he wore heel
less slippers, and did not have on the
long coat which would make him look
taller The features are the same, and
the complexion the same. with the eX-
ception of a lighter shade now"

SUZUKI MAKES A HIT.
Surgeon General of japanese Navy
Addresses Railroad Y. NJ. c. A.

Detroit. Sept. 30.=Intensely dra-
matte was the moment when Surgeon
General Suzuki of the japanese navy,
fresh from the battles of the Japan
and yellow seas, declared with effect
ing earnestness and sincerity before
the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A convention
that he had been for twenty years a
Christian. Very proudly he added
that his wife and five childrent shared
his belief. Tears dimmed many eyes
when the distinguished Japanese sur
geon told brokenly of the drowning
of another child, his 12-year-old
daughter, just two days before he
himself had been called into the thick
of the recent fighting.
He had not urged the question of
religion in his family he said, having
trusted it to the guidance of God. His
eldest son had been the first to be-
come a convert. having been interest
ed at first through an accidental visit
to Christian meeting while walking
along the streets of Toxic. Next the
wife had become converted through
the son, and. all the family had fol-
lowed in the steps of these two.
Struggling to control his emotion,
General Suzuki declared his faith in
= the Christian belief of the future life.
saying of his little daughter whom he
mourned, Il believe she has gone to
our own kingdom"
Further evincing his conception of
the beauty and power of the Christian
religion, General Suzuki credited the
missionaries of Japan with becoming
broader and broader in their Views.
Those who came first" he said,
''were too deeply concerned about OUT
ward appearances. 1t was a mistake
for them to ask at the very outset,
Do you smoke? DO you drink? Do
you go to church? For we know now
that when one has really entered the
church he will naturally give up the
things that are evil. We want you
to send to us good men who will con-
vert our hearts and show us the real
meaning of Christianity. Japan is
supposed to be a n-Christian coun-
try, but there are many men, women
ana children in Nippon trying to be
faithful to the right and to God. I
myself was baptized twenty years ago.
/ can not say that am a good Chris
tan, but I am a Christian
Surgeon Suzuki's earnest words
electrified the convention. The audi
ence was wild in its outburst of APP
plause. 1t was probably the first time
that cheers had resounded in the
Central Methodist Episcopal church,
one of the Oldest and largest houses

why JAPAN SIGN Ed.
She Was PeriIousIy Near a Financial
Collapse.

Toxic, Sept. notwithstanding the
silence of the government, the real fact
is disclosed that Japan made peace at
Portsmouth in fear of a financial
breakdown. The war proved more
costly than had been calculated and the
rice and cereal crops seemed doomed to
failure. Instead of sunlight and warmth
during the month of August, when the
crops ripen, there was continuous rain
and exceedingly cold weather.
While some Improvement may still
be in store, it is certain that the rice
crop promises to be from 10 to 20 per
cent below the average condition, far
below last years crop when it was mar
velously large. Six months more of war
would have meant very hard times, for
the masses of the people are very poor
and rice is bread and meat to them.

WE'D. APRIL 26 1905,

The Danville Advocate endorses
an action recently taken by South
Carlonina in the following, and
also tells Kentucky to follow suit:
''The action of South Carroll
ma in opening an emigration office
in New York city will attract
widespread attention throughout
the South. The object OF the es-
tablishment of the Office is to OBJ
tain a share of the emigration and
surplus labor of that great city,
and to induce capitalists to invest
in local enterprises. This office
will give South Carolina an oppor-
tunity to lay before Northern la
Dor the inducements which the
South offers, and to show to the
money kings and home seekers
the possibilities that the great
South offers, both as field for in
vestment and for cheap homes.
South Cardinals official in New
York is known as the State Com
mission of Emigration. The ap-
pointment of such an official
marks the awakening Of at least
one State to the possibilities of
advertising. While this IS new
plan, it is a good one, and ore
that in the end will pay. Adver-
tising will as surely help State
as it will an individual or a cor
porate enterprise. K e niue ky
needs just such a commission as
South Carolina has employed-a a
well-paid man, capable of por-
traying the resources and posi-
bilities of Kentucky, of which no
State in the Union has more.
What we now need is capital and
push"

The reason given for Commits

want to be annoyed by an army

that if the Democratic caucus of
the next General Assembly fails
to nominate him for reelection,
that Mr.. Yerkes will be the next
