At recent melting of the Academy Of
Sciences, M. Paul Goudry reported on
the results of a journey for purposes of
exploration in East Africa, which was
undertaken by Baron Maurice de Roth

At a meeting of the central commit
tee Of the Alliance Israelite Universelle
held last week M. Narcisse Leven, the
president, who had not felt equal to the
task Of delivering an GRAFTON at Grand
Rabbin Zadoc Kahn s funeral, paid an
eloquent tribute to the memory of their
lamented honorary president. M. Leven
described the considerable part which
Nj. Zadoc Kahn had taken in the many
sided work of the Alliance, his appeals
and eloquent speeches in it's behalf, and
the unwearied attention he gave to the
condition Of the Jews in various coun-
tries, whose individual or collective
misery escaped the attention of the ALI
ance. The central committee resolved
to consider means for perpetuating the
memory of the Grand Rabbin, and COM
missioned the executive to convey the
expression Of their profound and re-
spectful sympathy to Madame Zadoc
Kahn.
The Academy of Sciences, at it's an

WILL JAPAN FIGHT U. s.a

There is much talk in diplomatic circles as well as in the newspapers, regarding the probability of a war between Japan and the United States over the exclusion of the Japanese from the public schools of San Francisco.
 It is hardly conceivable that war should result under existing condi- tions, past and present. of friendship between the two countries, and yet Japan Is much puffed up since her victory over Russia and perhaps fakes into account the great advan- tage she will have over this country on the seas as the greater portion of our navy is on the Atlantic coast. Again. the Philippine Islands are a tempting bait for the Japanese being so near them and so far from

us and would undoubtedly be chosen as the field of contest.
 Like Russia the United States will be at a great disadvantage from being far from the scene of action. but so the pugnacious little Japs will find themselves up against a different class of fighters should conflict at arms ensue.
 However, while there is but little prospect of this the agitation over the question in controversy will serve to call attention to the position taken by Colonel Bryan in his advo- cacy of an international arbitration of all questions in dispute between nations before actual war shall be declared, or begun. The question now stirring Japan to it's. depths should be easily arbitrated and set tied without war.

GETTING AFTER EXPRESS
 COMPANIES.

Attorney General Hadley of Mis- souri has given as his opinion, to the railroad commissioners of that state, that they have full power under the law to establish free delivery limits in the cities for express com panies, to extend them s.s they may deem proper and to fix the charges for express matter deliv- cred beyond the free delivery limits as fixed by the board"
 The decision was asked by the board with reference to complaints made by residents of Kansas City that the express companies there were making exorbitant charges for the delivery of express outside of the free delivery limits which they have themselves established.
 In due time the express companies combine will be recognized as one of the most exacting monopolies in the United States and will then be found that to remove its clutches from the business interests of the country the postal parcels system will have to be enlarged so as to do much, if not all of the express business of the country.
 Then we can have free delivery for packages. of the prescribed weight, wherever free rural deliv- cry of mail goes. Thus the peo- pie can do for themselves what they now permit private corporations to do for them.

THEY WANT THE POSTAL
 SYSTE1.

The ct. LOUIS GloDe-Dem0crat,o one of the best representatives and spokesman of private corporations in the United States, is responsible for the statement that "A private corporation says it can take the post office department of the United States and make it pay"
 Possibly so, but do the people want a private corporation to have charge or conduct our postal system?
 Unquestionably no, but just as long as it remains in charge of the people just so long it is an object lesson teaching the people that it should be enlarged so as to take over the telegraph and express mo- nopolies and for this reason they would be glad to take it from the people and put it in the hands of priv ate corporations whether they sue ceeded in making it pay or not. Should the government, however, take con trol and operate the telegraph and express business it would by and through this combination, they naturally belonging together, cause the system to be self-supporting at less expense to the people than as now conducted.
 But for that matter what differ ence does it make if our postal sys- tenn does not pay expenses? It is a public service rendered for educa- tional purposes as well as commercial and the people do not complain if some of the revenues.of the govern ment have to be applied to make up expenses even though they know that most of the deficits of the postal department arethe result of unrea- sonable and extortionate charges i'm posed by the railroads for carrying the mails.
 The business interests of the coun- try feel much more keenly the un- just and extortionate charges i'm posed by the express companies for services rendered. which is rarely as satisfactory as that rendered by by Uncle Sam, and the people will not brook any effort of these cor porations to try and get possession of our postal system and this might as well be understood first as last.
 Does anyone imagine for one moment that the rural free mail delivery, now the pride and boast of the country, would ever have been instituted if the express companies had the postal system in charge. If so just let such one ask an ex- press company to deliver a package outside the specified limit in any town and learn what they will have to pay,

The Star is not only in favor of patronizing home industries in a manufacturing and mercantile way but is decidedly so when it comes to selecting and purchasing fruit trees. The most serious mistakes we have made in planting orchards here is sending away for our trees, but at that time there were no home nur- series. We have them now and there are no better trees for an orchard than those grown right here at home.

ain, owned by the estate of Victor
Kpoetgge, has been taken over under
bond and lease by Phil. Mixsell for a
term of three years, the bond calling for
$4,000 and low royalties. Mr.. Mixsell
recently took over the Allan mill at the
mouth of Spring gulch, and the Bismarck
product will supply the mill when there
is shortage of custom ores.
The Bismarck has pro duced in excess
of SI2s 900 and is only developed to a
depth of $50 feet. Some wonderfully
rich native gold was discovered in the
outcroppings of the vein and it was
profitably worked for a number of
years. For the past years has been
idle. Between the first and second
levels one stope was thirty feet wide,
every thing between the walls being
shipped to the smelters and returning
as high as 500 per ton. Mixsell will
make arrangements to drive the Torpedo
tunnel ahead about 400 feet, when it
will intersect the Bismark vein at a
depth OF 500 feet on the dip OF the lode.
The work will be done with machine
drills, as the Torpedo tunnel is equipped
with good power plant.

O'Clock last Sunday morning, at the
home of her sister Mrs. W. l.. Shaffer,
ten days prior to her death the end was
hourly expected and but little hope was
entertained for her recovery. The fu-
neral services took place at St. Paul's
Catholic church at 1880 O'Clock Tuesday
morning, being conducted by Rev.
Father McCabe. Notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather, there was
large attendance. The floral offerings
were numerous and beautiful, the cas-
ket being banked with cut flowers and
set pieces, the gifts of admiring friends
of the deceased. The intement was
in the. local cemetery.

was compelled to return home.
She was most popular among the

The Summit is REACHED.

The face of the Silver Gem tunnel at
the head of Silver Age gulch on Wednes,
day encountered heavy flow of water
accompanied by such quantity of gas
that it became necessary to suspend oper
ations for severe! days allowing the flow
to subside. The drilling crew in back
hole apparently entered cavity filled
with water under a considerable pressure,
the force Of which when released bowled
over the drill men and placed the ma
chimes out OF commission. As soon as
possible Foreman Mcdonald had the
machiues replaced and under great diff
Guilty drilled a round of six holes and
blasted, materially increasing the water
flow and discharge of gas.
The vein which has beeu encountered
is no doubt the Summit, one of the prin-
cipal veins for which the Silver Gem has
been extended. Owing to the water and
gases no examination of the material
opened up has been possible. The vein
was reached at point nearly 1900 feet in
from the portal and at depth of $40 feet
below the surface. The flow of water is
similar to that encountered in the breast
of the Lucania some weeks ago in the
quantity but probably has not as much
force behind it. Manager w. E. Camp
bell is greatly pleased, as for the past six
weeks he has been expecting to penetrate
the Summit lode. The surface workings
of the Summit have splendid showing
of ore. and it is probable that when All
examination of the strike is made, there
will be disclosed good vein of ore of
shipping grade.
