MILWAUKEE, WIS, Feb. 8.-An
Evening Wisconsin special from Fond
du Lac, Wis, "ays that General Edward
=. BrIGg, former United Staets consul
general ut Hong Kong, today said that
there was no danger of war between
the United States and Japan.
"a more insinuating, swel1-headed
class of people than the japanese are Mt
present is hard 20 find" suid the gem
ernI.
"WhiIc ~ break between Japan and
the United States may come in time the
danger is not imminent. The Japanese
have heavy war debt to pay of, and
although it is probable that they could
put Il large army in the field, they have
no visible resources to draw from.
"One Chinaman Is worth two Japan
ese so far as character and manhood are
concerned" said General Bragg.

TOXIC, Feb. IA report reaching
here from the United States to the
effect that the privy council had met
Tuesday to consider a dispatch from
Washington is received here with great
surprise and some Indignation.
1t is thought here by some that the
report has been put into circulation by
some careless or irresponsible source.
Others see a sinister motive, aiming TO
injure the relations between Japan and
America by deliberate falsehood and
eXaggeration. 1t is generally felt by
the we'll meaning that no care Is too
great at this moment when alarmists
are busy at work in America.
The Associated Press is informed by
the best authority that the matter sub
mitted to the deliberation of the privy
council last Tuesday was entirely of an
internal nature and had no relation to
diplomatic affairs. Even a slight knowl-
edge of the constitution of the privy
council would be sufficient to save mis-
apprehension on occasions like the
present.
Should American relations assume a
gravity warranting a special meeting
of the privy council the fact would not
escape the attention of press correspon-
dents. AS has been previously cabled,
quiet reigns, despite alarmist report in
America. The idea that Japan would
seek a war with the United States is
considered to be simply ridiculous
There is no doubt that among the
immigrants to Hawaii there are several
who served in the Russian war, but it
is pointed out that nothing more absurd
than the report of an elaborate organ
ization prepared to act in an emer-
gency. The report is criticised as
simply demonstrating sheer ignorance,
if not malignant motive.

 It was on the night of September 20, l777, that the American troops com. handed by "MaJ Anthony" Wayne, retreoting from the battle of Brandy. wine, were surprised near here by the British. The British general forbade his men to fire n shot, and to make sure of it, took away their fiints. The night was intensely dark, and the Hessians fell upon the Americans without q moments warning, and bayonetted them. Only the genius of General Wayne prevented the destruction of the entire body of troops. After the American troops had retreated, the sick and wounded were massacrcd and the camp burned.

Thus Explains Present Slump In The Price

Says Copper Us Bound To Go Up In The

(Fren oetnsAay's DaIlv.l

This great fall in the price of cop ger is all jobbery on the part of the spectators" said F. F.. Small. tbo mining engineer, who arrived here Yes. .srday from Boston, to n Journal. Miner Seprcsentativc.
 "Get into the market tomorrow and try Co purchase million pounds of copper and you will find that it can. DO. be purchased for 15 or 10 cents. l know it to be fact that no one can 90 into the market nt the present time and contract for tho immediate delivery of 25,OOO,OOO pounds of cop. per Another fact not generally known to the public is that the price of sheet copper has not lowered n cent since the recent slump. Any man who has copper need not worry. Tho price is bound to rise again and that very soon asd when it does you may look for 1t % stop somewhere between 20 and a cents.
 Copper is not drug on the mar. Rot by my means, and will not be for some time to come. All the great nations of the world are making cnor. mons expenditures in the building of battleships and this, in itself, is bound to help the copper market. There ar, over 100000 pounds used in the con. s,ruction of a modern battleship, and when 1t is taken into consideration that :he United States, England, Germany, Japan and Russia are all adding new ships to their navi.s, 1t is easily seen that the demand for copper from this source win increase for the next few yeara
 Another great undertaking tha, wll increase the demand for copper is the building of a double track electric railroad across the continent, which .s now under consideration by th' Hartman interests. Boston and New YOrk eapitalists arc of the opinion that Hartman win commence the constfuc ton of this enterprise before the enc of the present year. Hartman, l un dsrstand, proposes to equip the roa' with the latest electrical appliances This project, if carried out, will con sume m enormous amount of copper.
 "It n generally believed in 'a' cas- that the Calumet and Hecla Mining eompanys interests started this fgh on the copper market. It is generally known that this concerns property Il Michigan will be worked out inside O the next ten years.
