NJ. SOYEDA, a fnancier of Toxic, Is
On his way to Berlin. His object, it is
reported, is to sound the Berlin bankers
regarding the feasibility of an interna-
tioual Japanese government loan, with
German participation. There seems to
be little prospect of NJ. soyeda getting
satisfactory assurances in the Prnssian
capital, as the future of Japanese finance
is looked on dOubtfully by Che bankers
of that city. The above carries out
much that has recently been said about
Japau's financial condition. That coun-
try is already laboring under monetary
burdens which the present generation
will be unable to lessen in any perceph-
BILE degree. The Mikado succeeded in
forcing the Gar out Of Manchuria, but
not until many thousands of his soldiers
had fallen and an enormous national
debt had been piled up. According to
Japanese estimates $4,000 men were
sacrificed in the capture Of Port Arthur.
War is a costly pastime.

THURSDAY EVENING. AUG. s. 1907

Two LITTLE negro girls, by childish
quarrel with white boys of their own
age. started disturbance in Philadel-
phia Tuesday night that ended in a
riot in which more than 1000 persons
engaged. Some one cried out that a
negro had killed woman. The word
was passed, and like flash came the
angry responses, "Lynch the black?
"Kill him." Where is he" &c. The
negro who was supposed to have COM
mitted murder lodged sticks and all
kinds OF missiles, but was finally knocked
down. He was rescued from the mob's
fury by some white men who went to
his aid. The above is one of a number
of serious incidents which are OF daily
occurrence in certain cities in this
country where people seem to be losing
their heads. Several innocent persons
have recently been attacked by mobs,
snd barely escaped with their lives, 1t
being supposed that they had offered
violence to women or little girls. 10
New York IL is now dangerous for a
man to place his hands in friendly
manner upon a little girl with
whom he is acquainted without
running the risk of being lynched.
The ordinations, "Get a rope hang
him I" etc., have Of late startled and
Mortified quiet people, and when the
origin of the tumults have been learned 1t
has been seen that there was no real oc-
casion for them. Eugene Sue in his thrill
ing book, "The Wandering jew" gives
vivid descriptions of incidents in Paris
when cholera was ranging in that city
many years ago. He tells of real hap
penings, having witnessed most scenes
he pOrtrays. The pOpulace imagined
doctors we're poisoning the people and
that physicians had many allies who were
strayiug around putting poison in cups
in wine shops and other places. The
descriptions of the kicking to death OF
lion tanners assistant and the miraculous
escape of the head Of the Jesuits from the
fury of mob will never be forgotten by
those who have read them. 1t seems
that history is repeating itself in our day.

over 5000 Passengers departed The sail
ing of the White Star liner Cedric for
Liverpool and the departure of the Cretic
OF the same line for the Mediterranean

the adjoining pier half an hour later Both
piers were crowded and the officials were
kept busy directing Alright persons who in
sisted in trying to board the wrong steam
ship.
The Hamburg American liner took ont
about half a dozen firenen in irons. The
men made trouble over the fact that
though they had done duty in handling
cargo during the strike, they had not been
paid in American money. The company in
tended TO pay them in German money but
they refused to work and left the vessel
The police arrested them and thew we're
turned over to the company. They will
have TO face a charge of mutiny when they
arrive in Hamburg
The tide of outgoing travel has almost
reached its flood. A large crowd is booked
for tomorrow. when a fleet of passenger.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION IN OKLAHOMA PUTS OUT A FULL STATE TICKET AND DENoUNCES DEMOCRATS.

Tulsa, l. T., August 1.-The republican convention of the new state of Oklahoma tonight made the following nominations:
 Governor-Frank F. Frantz.
 Lieutenant Governor-N. J. Turk.
 Attorney General-S. P. Reid.
 Secretary of State-L. N. Robinette.
 State Treasurer-M. Stillwell.
 The convention at 11:S0 p. m, adjourned until tomorrow morning without complet- ing the ticket.
 44r. Frantz Is the present governor of Oklahoma territory. He was a Rough Rider captain at the San Juan fight in Cuba. and is an intimate friend of Pres dent Roosevelt. Frantz dominated the convention and his nomination by ac- clamation was accompanied by a remark able demonstration of enthusiasm.
 his afternoon the following telegram was received from President Roosevelt. to whom earlier in the day a message assuring him of the endorsement of the convention was sent
 q have a special feeling for Okla homa and Indian Territory, and assure them of my support to anything that will further their interests
 The unexpected occurred when the sec- ton in the platform denouncing the dem ocratie constitution was eliminated, and the party merely pledged to secure amendments covering it's alleged objec- tionable features. The platform endorses the national and territorial administra- lions. denounces the democratic party for it's failure to comprehend the needs Of the people and to deal with the proo- lerns of government.
 The platform contains an antitrust planlx. favors the removal of restrictions from Indian lands and endorses good roads but remains silent on the prohibit ton question.
