JAPAN'S WAR DEBT
TO BE PAID OFF IN THIRTY
YEARS

In spite OF the report that there is a
retrong opposition in the Japanese diet to
the post-bellum financial scheme Of the
government 1t is said that the latter is
perfectly confident IAat the new project
will finally be voted. In view OF a large
number of the japanese bondholders in
this country. the following information on
the government financial scheme emanating
from the japanese embassy will be OF in
terest to the public.
The normal expenditures not connected
with the war are estimated at S115, O0o. 0o0
and are to be met by the normal revenues
in existence.
The expenditures resulting from the war
such as the service of the war debts, annu-
files, pensions, maintenance of the garri-
sons In Manchuria and Korea, etc, are esti-
mated at $4O0,0o0,o 600, and are to be met by
ahe revenues from the war taxes and other
resources, which consist of the proceeds of
the loans already issued the sale of the
booty and other disused articles and a new
loan.
The new issue is to be made entirely at
home, and It's requisite amount is esti-
mated at S215,O0OO00. OF this total, $780,
OOO,o0O will be raised In the market which
IS not likely to feel a pressure on this
account because, in the course of the year.
the government is to redeem exchequer
bonds for the benefit of the market. OF
the remainder of the new issue, $4,000 600
is to be delivered in bonds grants in
recognition of the services connected with
the war. Finally, $4,000, 900, which needs
only to be issued gradually, is to be taken
up by the governments savings deposit
bureau. The reimbursement by Russia of
the expenses for the maintenance of the
prisoners is not included in the present
financial scheme, because the amount Is not
yet ascertained. The new issue will de-
crease by the amount OF the payment re-
Ceivable from Russia.
For the payment of principal and inter-
est of the loan already issued and to be
issued hereafter In connection with the
war the government is to set apart 500 1000
600 from the revenues each year, and the
whole national debt incurred in consequence
of the war are to be repaid in about thirty
years Besides this, SlS,U0,0OO is to be
set apart each year to pay the principal
and interest of the loans created before
the war.
To insure their proper handling special
account Is to be set up for these funds. diff
Terminating them from the general account
of the government. The national debts con-
solldation bureau and the national debts
consolidation committee have been specially
instituted for the purpose.
The sole object of the per cent sterling
loan, issued last November, Is to convert
existing loans on the basis of lower rate
OF interest," hence 1t will not increase the
total amount of the national debts.

Creased Pig Burns Home.

Henderson, KY, July 20 C.
W. Dixie, this county, lost his
pet pig and nearly lost his fine
residence. The pig had fieas,
and these fieas did not remain
with the animal. but skipped
onto children who played with
it. To get rid of the fleas, Dixie
creased the gruuter with coal
oil and turned it loose. A fire
was built in the yard later, and
the pig nosed up to see what
was doing. He got too near
and the oil on its body caught
fire. Squealing with pain. the
pig ran under the house, set fire
TO the parlor floor, the flames
