ARE BUYING MANY TRANSPORTS.

San Francisco, April %. - The
war in the Orient will last another
two years, was the statement made
today by Captain E. II. Jackson, who
arrived here today on the Korea and
who says that he is fastening to Lon
don to send out vessel which mas
been purchased by the Japanese for
transport service.
Captain Jackson added: The
Japanese are making preparations for
an indefinite term of fighting, and
this can be best understood by the
way they are buying up steamers.
They have purchased several hun.
bred during the past few months and
when left Kobe they had taken over
twelve vessels during the fourteen
days previous to my departure.
'They are particular as to what
they buy and only want vessels from
5000 to 5000 tons. They have to get
small ships so that they can run into
any of their ports and are easily navi-
gable in the inland sea. This will be
the third vessel that | have sent out
to them.
London is the great market for
steamers, and though they have pur-
chased some old boats they have Sc
cured some exceedingly good ones.
Spot cash is paid for all the YES
sells, and the neutrality laws are care
fully observed. A private firm gives
an order for the building of boat
and when the time of delivery comes
the firm which gave the order has not
the money to pay for the vessel and
a chance buyer comes along. That's

journals which has been in session

been planned. 1t is known that the
congress will recommend wide-reach-

of the press, as well as a political pro

adopted by the recent congresses Of
barristers and doctors.

sat upon the stool and resumed my
thoughts. Time it's said passeth as
quickly as weaver's shuttle. Under
some circumstances I could mention
no doubt, but that day after receiving
the message time crawled.
I watched the fading away of those
last faint rays of light with intense
satisfaction. Then l again mounted
the stool and again looked abroad.
Night had drawn her mantle over the
land-not even a star cleaned in the
sky.
| listened to hear sounds outside
my door, knowing my jailor must soon
come with my evening meal. Yes, l
had not long to wait ere l heard the
-shuffling footsteps of the man. He
clanked his keys and gave out an
apologize sniff, the usual thing, as
he neared the door of my cell. The
key moved hardly in the rusty hole,
was turned with doleful sound, half
shrek half groan, the door moved
back.
"a little oil on the hinges, sirrah,"
I said, would render it not so graf
ing on the nerves. Faugh! Is this
the food to serve a gentleman"
added as I picked up the loaf of
bread from the floor where he had
set it together with jug of water.
My supper! l ordered him to take
it away
"'Tis the usual prison fare" he
SMILED; If you want better you can
pay Tor it." Then he backed toward
the door
Now the old rascal had drained
me as dry as any goblet of sparkling
wine was ever drained by horseman,
and, as I had bought and paid most
literally for every meal I had eaten
since I had entered the doors of this
beastly place. this was adding insult
to injury. Knowing this, he dared
place before me bread and water. 1t
broke the camel's back.
"Out of my sight, you miserable
renegade" I cried starting up.

"'Tis not my fault" he whined; 81

Fault or no fault, out of the way,
scullion," ordered Gil.
So without any ado we passed the
humbly bowling apologize fool and
went down the corridor and steep
flight of stairs of the prison to the
street door, which he opened.
In a circle at the entrance to the
prison, bending in their saddles sat
our men of Long Haut. 1t was dark

who held Bunco, my horse, by the
bride, lean back and with his sword
strike a link out of the hand of man
