The most Illuminating testimony concern
Ing ancient Japan is that of William
Adams. an Englishman. Adams was born
near Chatham. At the age of twelve he
was apprenticed to captain. In the
royal navy, under Queen Elizabeth Adams
served as a master pilot. Resignng from
the navy he entered the service of the
Dutch East India Company. In the year
1893 Adams sailed from Holland in charge
OF fleet of five ships with the object of
opening up trade between Holland and
countries of the east. The religious zeal
of Holland at that date is shown by the
Eames of the vessels-Faith. Hope, Charity,
Goodness and Fidelity But as the virtues
for which they were named sometimes go
sdrift on the sea of life, so these clean.
well-laden Dutch ships came to grief
Only one-the Charity, commanded by
Adams-ever reached Japan, and she in
sorry plight. Storms hurricane, Spanish
pirates. Portuguese butchers, fever thirst.
starvation cannibalism-so runs the record
of the Charitys log through that dreadful
two years voyage.
When at last. one morning In the year
1000. the battered ship anchored off Yesso
her crew was reduced from the hundred and
nifty strong men with whom she started to
twenty-four living skeletons. Only five of
the men were able to crawl on deck, on
eheiI llaHuS ana knees, when Japanese or
hcials boarded the ship. All were tenderly
carried to the shore. The governor of the
district gave the unfortunate mariners
good house to live In and provided them
with food and medicine. Five thousand
dollars was saved from the Dutch ship and,
by order of the emperor, handed over to
the members of the crew. Also, by the en-
peror's order, two pounds of rice were given
to each foreigner daily. AS soon as Adams
strength was restored he was taken to the
emperor at Osaka, where, for a while he
was kept under guard. In a letter, which
may be found In Rundaus Memorials of
Japon." published by the Hakluyt Society,
Adams describes his first interview with
Japan's greatest emperor. Iyeyasu

The emperor left Adams wholly free to go
back with Saris or to remain, relieved
from court duties. in Japan. The proba-
bility is that astute IyeyaSu had but little
fear of losing his favorite. He knew Adams
better than the man knew himself Even
before he left the presence chamber Adams
began to make reasons for delaying his de-
parture for England. He must put his
affairs in order, must earn something for
himself etc. While in Japan Adams had
contributed through the East India Com
pany, to the support of his English wife
and children. About this time he made his
will, leaving half of his property to his
Japanese family and half to his English
wife and children
Adams grew moody as the time of Saris

ANOTHER SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Al that Rock Island Crossing Boy 3
Skull is Crushed.

Another serious accident occur
red about 1890 this afternoon at the
Rock Island crossing near the oil
mill.
Jimmy Roach, the sixteen-year
old son Of T. w. Roach, a farmer
four miles west of town, started to
cross the tracks. The work train
was standing on the siding SO that
all view of approaching trains was
obstructed. When he had reached
the crossing, a train Of cars came
crashing into his wagon, the en-
gine being further down in the
yards.
The wagon was smashed to
pieces. One Of the mules had a
hind leg cut off and the other mule
received two bad injuries in the
side and was otherwise badly cut
up.
The boys skull was crushed
just above the right eye, the wound
being an ugly one, though mol
necessarily dangetous. He was
taken to the Emergency Hospital
where his wounds we're cared Of.
This is the second accident that
has occurred at this crossing with,
liz the last six months.

THE CITY IS GRIEF STRICKEN
Mr.. Buehels Had Just Celehrutsd His
Ninetisth Birthday

Udall Kan, May I5.--Death in
flames was the horrible fate meted
out aged William Buchels and wife,
at an early hour this morning, fol-
lowing the celebration Of Mr.. Buc-

sary on Sunday.

the tragedy that occurred at ago
a. III. The aged couple retired at
the usual hour last night. They
lived alone in a cottage about six
blocks from the Santa Fe depot.
Early this morning neighbors were
aroused by flames that broke from
the roof of the little house occupied
BY Mr.. and Mrs Buchels.
An effort was made to get into
the dwelling but it was impossible
to even approach the door. The
house was Of wood and very old,
and it burned hercely. III a few
minutes it was entirely consumed
and at daylight, when the FIRST man
ventured into the pile of shoulder
ing ruins, the charred bodies of the
old people were found lying to-
gether, where the bed had been
standing. How the FIRE originated
is not known, but it is believed that
they left a lamp burning near a
curtain, or perhaps too near the
bed, and that this set FIRE to the
house.
Buchels was quite feeble and his
wife who was past eighty-four
years Of age, was almost blind.
Even if they had awoke before
being choked by the smoke, they
could scarcely would have COTTON
out Of the burning dwelling, be-
cause Of their inhrmities.
Buchels was in particularly good
spirits yesterday aud several old
friends and neighbors OF the couple
gathered at the house to celebrate
his ninetieth anniversary. The
old man was cheerful and chatted
brightly, answering the we'll wish
es of his friends. You'll live to

neighbors. AT this the old man
chuckled, and shook his head.

Guthrie, OF, May I5.- The
first intimation of what will con-
stitute the next Oklahoma state
hood bill, uniting Oklahoma and
Indian territories as one state, was
announced to the press tonight by
Delegate Bird S. Mcclure. He is
sanguine of the passage oftne bill.

sident Roosevelt during his recent

day of the session, said Mr.. Nc
Guire today. 1T will be practically
the same in its makeup as was the
Hamilton bill which passed the
house at the last session and later
passed the senate also with some
amendments. However, this time il
will not be an omnibus bill, but
Oklahoma and Indian territory will
go it alone, asking for admission as
a joint state without being tied to
either Arizona or New Mexico a
hindrance which / believe prevent
ed the admission of Oklahoma at
the last session. I feel that the
Hamilton bill is the best to stand
by, as it is endorsed by the nation

the republicans of congress. l feel
certain of its passage early in the
session.
There will be few slight changes
in the bill. of course those necessary
to make il applicable to change con-
ditions in Oklahoma and Indian
territory. Instead of S million dol

Hamilton bill, will ask congress

Offset the millions of acres Of school
lands, which constitute and guar
antees a magnificent and perman-
ent school fund for Oklahoma.
When asked regarding the clause
in the bill making Guthrie the cap
ital until 1910, Mr.. Mcclure adj
mitted that part of the bill has not
been fully which he will allow to
shape itself if possible before con-
gress convenes. The congressional
districts will remainas in the Ham
ilton bill. Mr.. MCGUIRE is opposed
to the order by Secretary HITCH
cock, or rather by the territorial
school land leasing hoard acting
under instructions from Hitchcock,
in cutting off the school land lesses
firm a preference right to release
any tract of land larger than a
quarter section which they may
now hold.
II was in hopes, he said, that
the matter would lie dormant until
the new state would have chance
to fix it.
1t is known that Mr.. McGuire
favors the sale of school lands after
Oklahoma is admitted TO statehood,
II believe $4,000 Oklahomans
should attend the statehood con-
vention called to meet in Oklahoma
