II Is wonderful how Dixon has been

JAPANESE NAVY OF FUTURE
Apparently Intent Upon Becoming
a First Class Naval Power.
Comparison With Which Those
of the Present Are Dwarfs.

Victoria, B. c., Nov. 24-The jap
anese admiralty has entered upon an
elaborate scheme of naval expansion,
which is expected to be approved at the
coming session Of the diet, according
TO advices received here. Ships with
heavier ornaments and higher speed
will be built. The Jill Shimpou says
the battleships of the future navy of
Japan will displace $4,000 tons and
have an armament of IA twelve-inch
guns and a speed of 20 knots, while the
future cruisers will displace $4,000 tons
and have a speed of % knots.
The Nippon gives a list Of w~arships
about to be laid down in Japanese yards
as follows: Yokosuka, battleship Satu-
ma, $4,000 tons; Kure, battleship Aki,
$4,000 tons; armored cruiser Tsukuba,
$4,000 tons; armored cruiser Ikoma, a.
900 tons; armored cruiser Ikubi, $4,000
tons; armored cruiser Kamura, $4,000
tons.
The five submarines recently added,
built in America in sections, gave such
success that the squadron will be in
creased.
An immense gun factory, covering 50
acres, Is being established on the
Sumidi river near Toxic, by the jap
anese military authorities, where 1000
men will be employed making heavy
ordnance

1T WAS A CASE OF MUST
The Korean Ministers Had No Choice
But to Sign the New COnvsn-
ton With Japan.

London, Nov. 22.-The Toxic CORE
%spondent Of the Daily Telegraph says
that the naval plans of Japan include
the formation of a special squadron to
cruise in the southern seas as far as
Singapore. The same correspondent
says:
"The details of the negotiations at
Seoul show that the Koreans had no
alternative but to accept the treaty
drawn by Japan. The premier tried to
escape from the palace, but was pre-
vented by Japanese gendarmes. He
still persisted in his refusal to sign the
protocol, w%hereupon the emperor dis
missed MIN. Several other ministers
resigned, but the emperor refused to
accept their designations. Gen. Pase-
gawa, now commander Of the japanese
troops in Korea, will be the japanese
governor general of Korea.

GEO. ADAMS POPULATIONS
Instead of $4,000, to Which He Kns
Confessed, 1t is Believed They
VIII Reach S2OO,0OO.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 25.-Late devel-
opments in the arrest of George Ed
ward Adams, late cashier in the United
States assay office here, for embezzle-
ment, indicates that instead of steal
ing $4,000 in gold dust, to which he
has confessed, his populations may
amount close to 5000, 900, and that in.
stead Of covering a period of six
months, they will run farther back
than 1903. Adams bondsmen have
withdrawn from the 100000 bond, and
Adams was remanded to Jail to await
his preliminary hearing.
Several Alaska men have already in
formed the federal officers that they
believe they have been defrauded by
some n in the assay office. One man
declares that out of $4,000 in gold dust
deposited there, only 5000 was re-
turned to him.
Friends of the family have not dared
to inform Mrs. Adams of her husbands
trouble, for she is very i'll and the news
might kill her. Mrs. Adams was Miss
Emily Clary, a w~ell-known society
girl, A few days ago she became a
mother.

EFFECTS OF MILD WEATHER
Unprecedented Activity in Industri-
al Lines, But Retail Trade and Col
lectiOns UnfavorabIy Affected.

New York, Nov. 25.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Mild, open weather favors in a high
degree the unprecedented activity in
all industrial lines, but %unfavorably
affects retail trade in wearing apparel
and retards collections, which also feel
the influence of country wide freight
congestion. Evidently in an effort to
avoid trouble from this latter source,
holiday trade at wholesale is active be-
yond all preceding years. In whole
sale and jobbing lines, the backward
ness of retail trade is reflected in slow
err recorder trade than expected, but
confidence in the general outlook is
evidenced by the liberal orders report
ed for spring goods. Perhaps the most
marked evidence Of confidence in the
future is found in the metal markets,

POST OFFICE ROBBERS WORK
The Safe In the Post Office at Clifton
City, Mo-, Blown and the Build
ing Destroyed by Fire.

Sedalia, Mo-, Nov. 24.-The safe in
the post office at Clifton City, Cooper
county, about twenty miles from this
city, was blown by burglars, at night,
the contents taken, and the building in
which the Office was located set on
fire and destroyed, with all its con-
tends.
The persons who arrived first at the
scene were able to see, by the light of
the flames. that the building had been
broken into and the safe blown.
The safedoor had been blown off and
the interior of the office wrecked by the
violence of the explosion.
The indications were that all the con
tents of the safe had been taken.
M. D. Wakefield, postmaster, was not
able, in the confusion following the
fire. to tell what the safe had contained,
but the amount of money and stamps
is supposed to have been large.

COMPLICATION AT NATION
While Mayor Was Out of Town
Council Ousts Old Officers and
Names New Ones.

Nation. ILL.,, Nov. 23.-While Mayor
William Eyers was attending a banquet
rendered TO Congressman William B.
Mckinley az Champaign before his de-
parture for Washington, q faction of
the city council stole the city govern
ment, deposed all the holdover officers,
appointed and confirmed new ones in
their places.
There has been a hard fight on the
lid" or closed town proposition for
six months, and Mayor Byefs would
not name a new police force for fear
the council would not confirm the ap-
pointments. He also snubbed Council
mar Tabor in awarding chairmanships
of committees.
Tabor organized his forces in the
council, waited until the mayor left
town, unsuspecting, and then made a
coup.
Two chiefs and dual forces will fol-
low, and the courts will have to set
tie the tangle.
