Hayashi's Opinion.


 London, April 22.-Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minister to Great Britain, said to the Associated Press today
 T do not consider that the Japanese note to the French government could be termed a protest. It simply calls the attention of France to Vice Admir- al Rojsetvensky's long stay in Kam- ranh Bay. Unfortunately discussion of the matter occupied considerable ,.me before the French government secured riddance of unwelcome guests and se rious injury will have been known.
 Japan knows that the French gov ernment was not an active party to the harboring of the Russian Pacific squadron but the inactivity of trance had reached a serious stage and we would have been perfectly justified in attacking the Russian squadron in Kamranh Bay The three mile rule un- der which France defends her inac- tivity was the distance recognized as short waters when three miles was the maximum range of the guns. The range of big guns of today is twenty miles. Should Admiral Togo attack the Russians in kamranh Bay many projectiles would fall on the French shore. This is one point which is un- der discussion in Paris"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-04-23

Paris, April 22.-Officials here main- tain that the gravity of the Franco Japanese issue over neutrality has been considerably relieved by the vigorous measures which France adopted. Elm peror Nicholass orders to Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky to leave French waters are the direct result. To have the Emperor give a decisive order it is held here signifies that such an order must be obeyed. whereas ViceAdmiral Rojestvensky exercises customary dis cretion as to obeying orders from the Russian admiralty concerning French waters off the coast of Madagascar .
 Heretofore Kamnranh Bay has been an unknown spot, although an ad yenturous Frenchman, the Marquise de Munville has established a small colony there. The Marquis uses this colony as a base for hunting expeditions and for carrying on a considerable trade with coast points. Except for this primitive settlement Kamrnh Bay has no habitation. no telegraph. no custom house and no official establishment of any kind
 The Journal des Debats today pub fishes long editorial on the Franco Japanese incident which says:
 While Japan's anxiety is naturally great over the approach of the Russian squadron, yet Japanese public opinion seems to have given proof of too much emotion and sensitiveness. The facts concerning the presence of the Russian squadron in Kamnranh Bay have not been exactly known and nothing indi- cated our intention to disregard known facts. Nevertheless Japan shows great public effervesence. The Japanese press comments freely and public meet ings have been organized to denounce our supposed hostile attitude towards Japan. It Is surprising that such things should occur in a country where one hardly expects to see street opin- ion substituted for diplomacy
 The general tone of the press com ment here is mild with few unimpor- tant exceptions, such as tonight's is- sue of the irresponsible Patrie which makes a violent attack upon Japan.

Water is found every where, es-
pecialIy when it rains, as it did the
other day when our cellar was half full.
Jane had to wear her fathers ruboer
boots to get the onions for dinner.
Onions make the eyes water, and SO
do horseradish, when you eat too
much. There is, good many kinds
of water in thewOrld-rain water, soda
water, holy water and brine. Water
is used for agood many things. Sailors
use it to- go to sea on. If there was
MT any ocean the ships couldn't float
and they would have to stay ashore.
Water is good thing to fire at boys
with squirt aud catch fish in. MY
father caught big one the other day
and when he hauled it up it was an
cell Nobody could be saved from
drowning if there wasn't any water
to pull them out of. Water is first
rate to go to fires and see the men
work at the engines. This is all car

Too Little Reading.

But according to our observation
there is vastly too little reading done,
rather than too much; and we think
it fortunate that President Roosevelt's
example has been set forth az an illus
tration of what can be accomplished,
in the m 0st occupied of lives, to broad.
en- the intellectual outlook. His ex-
ample will serve everywhere as a
stimulus. And the reader should net
be discouraged, but rather encour-
aged; for if he really has the s'disposi-
ton" to read, the years end, under
whatever difficulties, will give him,
also, list of readings accomplished
which will shame the Indifferent and
vastly increase b is own intellectual
wealth. Reading for the relief of troL-
bled thoughts, as mere sedative, is
UNNECESSARILY valuable, as many an
overweight brain has found; and SO
is reading for the highest forms of
pleasure, for healthy enjoyment as
well as for desired information, for
new outlooks, for the broadening of
sympathies and the correction of mar
row views, for culture-abo We all, for
lnspiration.-May Century.

say "little Japan" She is no longer

The Russian feet left Kamranh
bay, Indo-China, Saturday, April %,
after stop of week, in which the
ships were reprovisioned. Japan
finally made formal representations
to France on the abuse of neutrality
resulting from the continued stay of
the fleet in waters controlled by
France. Public sentiment in Japan ran
high against France on account of
this incident, following the previous
stops of the Russians at Madagascar
and other French territories. France
replied at once, denying the breach
of neutrality and disclaiming any
purpose of giving aid or assistance to
Rojestvensky. frances version ia
that the Russian vessels have always
remained outside territorial Ii it's
and beyond her jurisdiction. But she
| took steps at once to start Rojest-
vensky out of Kamranh bay, and the
car gave peremptory orders to the
admiral to move on at once.
EQUITABLE Fight Goes to the Courts.
The Equitable Life controversy has
got into the courts. A MARYLAND
policy holder named ]. Wilcox Brown
has asked for the appointme Mt of a
receiver for the surplus fund amount
il g to $4,000, 900, on various grounds.
One policy holder asks for an in
junction to restrain the society from
taking any further action toward
obtaining the proposed amended
charter, because it really gives the
policy holders nothing. A stock
holder asks an injunction to prevent
the proposed naturalization plan.
Meanwhile the New York insurance
department is making an investiga-
ton of the whole affairs of the
society. There is no let up in the
hroadsides the Alexander and HYDE
factions are hurting at each other.
At convention of the general agents
of the Equitable in New York last
week, a committee was named to ask
Vice President Hyde to resign. This
! he refused to do.
$4,000 Strawberry Crop.
A narrow strip of the Tar Heel state
near Wilmington, N. O., enjoys a mo-
nopoly in the strawberry industry for
two weeks every spring, says The
Brooklyn Eagle. While that does not
seem long it means when expressed
| in cash something over million dol
! lars, all extracted from resources that
were little understood few years ago.
Farmer Chadwick, whose only expe-
rience was that of local barkeeper
three years ago, is said to be making
over SIC, 200 a year from his truck
garden, most of it on Strawberries.
/ A New York commission house
offered him in advance $40, 600 for all
his crop this year, but he refused it,.
Farmer Trask bought farm of sixty
acres and paid for it I'M full, $4,000,
from profits realized the first year.
Farmer Struthers gave up political
| job IN the local custom house paying
81, 200 year to work neglected farm,
and at the end Of the year he had
saved $5, 080 above his living expenses.

And Devoe costs less than any of 'em; not
