Former Premier and Member of Mil

That Future Relations VIII
Be AmicabIe
BY Associated Press.


TOXIC, oct. 2.-Secretary Taft, on
the evening of his departure for Kobe,
where he will embark on the steamer
Minnesota for Manila, said:
1.-THE magnificent welcome accorded
me by the government and people of
Japan is the most magnificent sign of
the relations existing between Japan
and the United States. I am confident
that both countries will continue to be
as friendly as they have in the past and
not afford occasion for misrepresenta-
tion by anybody"
At the epxress wish of the emperor
Mr.. O'Brien, the new American am
bassador, postponed the arrangements
until after the departure of Mr.. Taft,
the emperor said he did not desire that
Mr.. O'Brien's audience should be con-
current with that of Secretary Taft as
1t might appear to belittle his reception
as ambassador. -A " R
Count Katsura, former premier and a
member of the. military council of the
empire, in an interview today said: Il
am delighted that Mr.. Tafts brief visit
has been made the occasion for an in
disputabie demonstration of the friend
ly relations between japan and the
United States. Attempts have been
made to niisrepresent the existing re-
lations Of both countries, but they must
be attributed to the work of interested
parties and hardly deserving of serious
consideration.
1.-THE whole situation. was talked
over between Mr.. Taft and myself two
years ago on the occasion of his last
visit here. A perfect understanding
was then arrived at between the au-
thorities of both governments and no
change has since been made therein.
firmly believe that nothing can shake
the foundation on which the historical
relations of both nations are built.
There is nothing more absurd than
the cry of war between the United
States and Japan and Mr.. Taft has now
by his great speech, SO widely reported,
put an indelible seal on the cordial re-
lations and perfect understanding ex-
listing between both countries. Should
suspicion have existed in the minds
of some people of strained relations be-
tween Japan and the United States, his
eloquent utterances ought to have
completely dispelled it and inspired re-
assurance"

Adjutant General Fridge stated
that it is probable the date Of the
en- days encampment at Columbus
will be from Tuesday, Aug. 6, to
Thursday, the 18th, provided that the
suggested date meets the approval
Of the Governor. The fixing Of the
date was left in allegiance pending
the action of the Executive Commit
tee in fixing the time for holding the
first primary, and that matter having
been disposed Of, there will be time
enough and to spare between the two
primaries for the troops to prepare
for, establish and break camp, and
participate, If they are so inclined,
in the battle O. the ballots, General
Fridge has also made requisition on
the Secretary of War for a detail Of
regular officers to be designated for
this encampment, though he has no
hopes Of securing a large detail Of
regular troops, as had been hoped.
The fact that the State Of Misslssip-
pi would have to pay the freight if
the regulars are detailed for the Co
lumbus encampment rather puts the
quietus on General Fridge's aspira-
tions in this respect.

No In-tra County Service.


Chairman McNair of the Missis-
sippi Railroad Commission has receiv-
ed letter from General Manager
Leland Hume Of the Cumberland
Telephone and telegraph Company,
declining to comply with the sugges-
ton that an intra-countp service be
established between Woodville and
Centreville, stating that to do so
would involve a sacrifice Of toll rev.
enues.
Accompanying the refusal Manager
Hume submits statement from the
company's manager at Clarksdale
seeking to show that the Cumberland
has lost money by the free intra-
county service proposition, the loss
in Coahoma county being about 81;
per month. He further says that The
service is hardship on both tht
company and the subscribers, FOL
there is no practical way Of limiting
the service to bona-fide patrons, be
cause the operators have not voic,
acquaintance with everybody who
uses the phones.
The commission is not especially
interested, in the statistics showing
that the intra-county service has
caused the company loss Of reve
nue., as it was not established as +.
money-making proposition for the
company, but as a convenience e
patrons IN counties where two o.
more local echanges are operated.

Shot by Son-in-Law.

Isaac Turnage, well-to-do farmer
Of the Buford neighborhood, four
miles west Of Columbia, was shot in
the face with a shotgun in the hands
Of his son-in-law, Bud Taylor. One
of Turnage's eyes was shot out and
the sight Of the other seriously i'm
paired, and he may lose that also.
His face is almost a solid mass Of
small shot holes, and he is in serious
condition. The difficulty occurred
at Taylor's house, who was living on
ly a short distance from his father
in-law, Turnage, and was over tri-
vial affair. Turnage had loaned Tay-
Tor couple Of scrub cows to milk,
and the calves were in the habit of
coming back to their old home, when
Taylor would get after them with his
dogs and run them back. This was
kept up for some time, when Tur-
mage told Taylor that it would have
to be stopped. Taylor did not heed
the warning, and again ran the calves
home with his dogs. Turnage fol-
lowed and said to his son-in-law that
as he had not done as he was told
to do about running the calves with
dogs that he would have to turn the
cows and calves out for good and all,
and started towards the lot TO dc
so. Taylor said: eff you do I'LL
shoot you." Notwithstanding the
threat, the old man went on, and
hearing his daughter scream he turn
ed around and received the whole
load Of one barrel Of the gun in his
face at close range. Taylor left the
place at once, thinking that he had
killed the old man, and Turnage lies
in a serious condition.

And proud commander is Admiral Ben;

And the king declared, by royal decree
He'd keep it himself and take to the sea.

And Ben Salt became king of Ohmy.
