MIR. Takahira, the Japanese minister,
has given a statement to the Washing

which he says that Japan feels great
repose about the Philippines, because
they are occupied by the United States
with the firm hold Of its authority over
the archipelago, not to speak of many
other lessons being given there by the

Regarding Japan's future, Mr.. TAX.

you to wait little while before you
will be able to see what Japan will

will be no departure made hereafter

sued by the Japanese government. The
open door policy proposed by the Unit
ed States and readily joined in by Jap
an in July, 1900, will be scrupulously
observed throughout the future, and
the legitimate rights and interests OF
all nations will be equally respected
wherever our influence would extend. u

A Mother Of the Revolution

The city of Elizabeth, New Jersey,
celebrated in July its successful stand
against the British soldiers who
marched through the little town on
their way to Springfield. The
dragons, the Queens Rangers, the
English and the Hessians. gay in new
uniforms and brave with gitterlng
brass and steel, were held at bay by
q little command Of sixty patriots arm
ed with muskets.
On the morning of the invasion a
few young men. armed FOR fighting,
were standing before house. An old
woman, feeble and gray, the grand
mother of two OF the group, came out
Of the house and went from one to an
other Of the young men, cncoura9 cling
them with words OF good cheer.
Then she addressed the little com
pany:
MY children" she said, In voice
resolutcly calm, you are going out in
just cause to fight for the rights and
liberties Of your country. You have
my blessing and my prayers to God
for your safety. But If you fall. His
will be done. Let me beg of you Il
YOU fall 1t may be IKE men. and that
none of your wounds may be in your
backs"

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.

All scentless lie the fields of snow,
The valley mists hang deep below,
No earthly damps attaint the air,
And all is pure and white and fair
No stir betrays the wandering breeze,
No whisper from the frozen trees.
They muster still and stark and pale,
A phantom host In silver mail.
And slver-studded over all
Is drawn nights velvet purple pail,
And all is peace; the fitful breath
Seems sacriege in this land of death.
When far athwart the Northern Pole
The rainbow tinted streamers roll,
The leagured wizard of the North
Has flung his fiery challenge forth.
And. where across the frozen plain
Lies the grim harvest of the slain,
His icy searchlights coldly sweep
The approaches to his virgin keep.
So are there ATTITUDES too high
In realms of cold philosophy.
And barren wastes. that cannot give
The bread whereby a man may live.

TO DOUBLE SERVICE.
Steamers Every Two Weeks From
Sound to South America,

Seattle, Oct. 23.-When completed,
the two 1000 ton steel steamers which
the American Hawaiian Steamship
Company is building in San Francisco
will be placed on the Seattle Central
American run and will be used to es.
tablish a thirty day service between
the sound and New York. The steam
ers will be run to the isthmus Of Te-
hauntepec and there they will connect
with the new railroad which the Mica.
raguan government has almost com.
pleted.
Heretofore the steamers Of the Amer
loan Hawaiian line have made the long
passage from New York to Seattle by
way Of the Horn, but when the new
steamers are launched the voyage
around the cape will be done away
with and the company's fleet Of steam.
ers will be divided 80 that half are on
the Pacific side. Freight will be car
ried down to the isthmus, shipped
across on the new railroad and reload
ed on the other steamer which will be
waiting to receive it.
Capt. Cook, representative of the
American Hawaiian line in Seattle,
stated that when the new vessels were
put in commission regular two weeks
service would be established.
THE business from Seattle warrants
an increase in the number of steamers
operated by our company" said Capt.
Cook, land as soon as the new chips
now under construction in San Fran
cisco are completed they will be put
on the Seattle Central American run.
This has only been decided recently.
At present our steamers run on the
average Of about one a month, but
when the new vessels are placed in
commission we will have service ev.
cry two weeks. The new railroad
which the Nicaraguan government has
just completed will enable us to ship
goods across the isthmus of Tehauhte.
PEG and reship them on one Of the wait.
ing steamers in very short time. This
will be continued until the Panama Ca
nal is completed. But as soon as the
new vessels are ready for service, which
will be next July, our ships will dis.
continue the voyage around the Horn. y
