STARTLING STATEMENTS.
Banks Everywhere Have Paper of De
 funct Cotton Oil Company.

Charleston. s. C.. July S.-The closing of the Darlington Trust Company's doors at Darlington with a notice say ing that the failure was caused by the troubles of the Independent Oil Com pany, Is now followed with announce ments of a startling nature. In two courts petitions of creditors have been filed alleging indebtedness of about $750.00o with assets mainly based on cost of the mills. which was less than $1OQ,000. Banks all over the country are said to hold papers of this concern. including many warehouse receipts for oil and for which 1t Is alleged. there may be found no oil. The stock of the company was $1.ooo.o0o. and was larse- ly held in South Carolina, Charleston having a considerable amount.
 In the United States Court here to- day Judge Brawley appointed Bright williamson, R. B. Lebby and c. H. Sass receivers for the Independent Cotton oil Company. This follows the appoint ment of Williamson as receiver by Judge Watts Of the State court. Judge Watts has also appointed E. c. Lide. former cashier, and L. E. Williamson. Jr, receivers for the Darlington Trust Company

Tint Jannne.e Landing.

St. Petersburg, July 10.--t2 a. m.)- With the Japanese flag hoisted for the first time on Russian soil after eigh- teen months of war, the importance of the landing of Japanese on the island of Sakhalin Is generally commepted on. Complete occupation of the island Is now regarded as a foregone conclusion The Novoe Vremya voices the general sentiment in holding that control of Sakhalin puts q powerful lever in the possession of Japa nese diplomats, who finally have someth'1g tangible In their hands to throw on the scale along with the sword.
 There is difference of opinion as to the effect 1t will have on the negotIa- lions at Washington, some of the ire concilables declaring that 1t makes peace at the present juncture more im- possible than before. as Japan will be able 10 demand the cession of the is- land and heavy money indemnity as well.
 No further report of the landing op- erations has been received.

CASSINI LEAVES.
Russian AmbassadOr Gives Way to His Successor.

Washington, July 9.-Count Cassini, Russia's first ambassador to the United States, after seven years service here left today for New York, where he sails Tuesday for Europe and will later go to his new post at Madrid. Gathered at the station to bid him God speed were nearly every diplomat remaining here and number of the ambassadors s political friends. Among them were the Italian ambassador and Mime. Mayer Des Planches. his closest friends In the corps; M. Brun, the Danish min ister, and MT. Gamboa. the Mexican charge daffaires, and his stan, and the secretaries and employees of the Italian embassy.
 The ambassador led the way to his car with Mime Des Plaches. followed by the Italian ambassador and the remain der of the party. Shortly before the train left Baron de Rosen reached the station and was among the last to say goodbye. greeting his confere In Rus sion fashion with kiss. The last to bid hi madieu was Baron Mayor Des Planches, who succeeds Count Cassini as dean of the corps
 The Ambassador will spend today and tomorrow in New York, where several dinners will be given him. He goes to St. Petersburg direct to see the Elm peror, and later to the several water ing places in Europe for rest. The Amba ssador probably will not take up his duties at Madrid before late in the autumn. ..s@-
 Words fail me to express my re- eret at leaving the many friends have made here during my seven years ser vice." Count Cassini said to friend today. My heart Is too full for me to say the things I feel. Your country has given me a pleasant home and it has been a privilege for me to watch the progress of this great nation. for whose people cherished an admira- ton and affection before my ambition was attained and I received my ap- pointment as Ambassador at Washing ton, That admiration and affection has increased each year of my stay, and while. for many reasons, European embassy will be welcomed, at parting I cannot but regret breaking the ties made here. I have been deeply touched at the many kind words and evidences of friendship that have come to me, es- pecially in these last few weeks. and I leave with the best of good wishes for this country and a heart full of grat- itude for the many kindnesses I have received"

SYMPATHY OF ANIMALS.
Noted Naturalist Thinks That Such
a Thing Is Beyond the
Lower Order.

An Iowa correspondent asks me
to give my opinion as to whether
or not any of the dumb animals
have sympathy, and added that q
minister at a funeral in their
town had said that no animal ex-
cept man was capable of sympa-
thy. | agree with the minister,
writes John Burroughs, in Outing.
Sympathy, ! think, is beyond the
lower animals. When we sympa-
thize with a person we put our
selves in his or her place; we feel
sorry for him; we pity him; we
would gladly alleviate his suffer
ing-all of which implies more or
less imagination and uninterested
regard. susceptibility to the suf,
ferings of others is one of many
higher attributes. When sym
pathy was born the race lifted
above the purely animal plane
The next step is taking the suffer
ings of others upon yourself,
which is the highest form of altru-
ism. Pure selfishness rules the
lower animals, and necessarily so.
Sympathy is not necessary for the
continuance of the species, but af-
lection for their young is. Animals
certainly have a feeling of com
radeship for each other, and ex-
perience something like grief at
separation, yet a dog or a cat or a
horse or COW will sniff at the
body Of its dead fellow with appar-
ent uncOncern. A cry of distress
among the birds will bring every
bird within hearing to the spot
and cause them to be more or less
agitated, but it is only because
they are alarmed for their own
safety; a common enemy may be
about, In the herd and the flock
a sick or wounded member is often
fallen upon by its fellows and de-
stroyed. If any animal ever ex-
periences the emotion we call sym.
patty it is, of course, the dog. The
dog has so long been the compan-
ion Of man that he often shows in
his nature a trace of the purely
human.

Most Efacient Workera

President Faunce, of Brown
university, uttered these striking
words in his most recent bac-
calaureate sermon: "Among the
certain temptations to which our
eager occidental life is peculiarly
liable is the constant tendency of
the work to master the workmen,
The real failures in our industrial
life are the men whose revenues
are advancing willie their souls
are shriveling. The most efficient
workers OF the modern world are
those who will not be hurried"

THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE.
Change Proposed Under Supervision

man. A government commission
has been appointed to make a re-
port on the advisability of adopt
ing Roman characters in the writ
ten language of Japan, and a
prominent member of the com
mission has arrived in the United
States to pursue inquiries along
the lines of the proposed change.
The japanese language has
many features that are puzzling
to all except special students, and
now that the kingdom is taking
its place among the foremost ma
lions of the world in the various
arts Of war and peace an improve
ment in this matter is felt to be
most essential in connection with
the advances being made in other
directions. Chinese characters
and ideOgraphs have been used
ever since the introduction of writ
ing in Japan, and these have been
frequently modified and adapted
to local conditions so that even
the Chinese do not recognize them.
Increasing intimacy with the
outside world calls for a change,
and it is interesting to note that
"the little brown people" are as
eager to advance in civilization as
to win in war.

CURRENT AND COMPASS.
Of Both Responsible for
the stranding Of Many
Ships.

Even a steam dredge has pride
and is therefore unwilling to
admit that it deposited itself vol.
UNFAIRLY on the shores Of Long Is
land. At any rate, states the New
York Sun, the captain of the gov
eminent dredge which went
aground a day or two ago on
Jones' bar has declared that he
was carried thither by a strong
current setting toward the beach
and by a compass which had one
or two points of undetermined
error. These two, the current and
the treacherous compass, are old
familiar friends of stranded skip.
pers. For many years that dead.
ly current which drives vessels
toward the south beach of Long
Island has been famed in nautical
song and story. Curiously enough,
there are shippers and shippers
who forget all about it till they
hear the keels grating in the sand,
and then they remember that ev-
cry one knows that perfdiOus
stream which sets men toward
ShinneCock or Fire Island.
And there is the fallible com
pass, too. Every navigator knows
that the compass is subject to the
seductiOns of neighbOring steel
and iron and that only in a few
places on the earth does it point
to a geographical north anyhow.
But somehow there are still cap
tains who do not recall these
facts till they have gone aground.
Then these captains are swift to
confess that their COmpasses were
not telling them the truth, which
is the same thing as admitting
that they did not know where they
were steering. But current or no
current, compass or no compass,
there is a friend who never de-
ceives the mariner, and who can
be trusted implicitly in the ap-
proach to Sandy Hook from all
quarters of the sea. That friend
is the lead line. When a captain
goes ashore on the Long Island or
New Jersey beach, it is usually be-
cause he has forgotten to make
systematic use of the lead, and
strangely enough he never accuses
that instrument of inefficiency
when he is publishing his excuses.
