GOSSIP

An interesting visitor at the Yale
club of New York recently was Harold
Pape OF England. who is widely known
on the other side of the Atlantic as a
steeplechaser, amateur horseman, and
gentleman rider. He was one of a
party of English gentlemen accom-
panying Lord Turnour, who arrived
here on the Baltic. They were enter
tained by Brinton Buckwalter of the
Yale club. where they will remain
for few days prior to going to Mexi
90. Mr.. Pape talked entertainingly of
steeplechasing on this and the other
side. and spoke enthusiastically of the
proposed international horse show tc
be held in London in June. in which
Americans are to take prominent
part. While as far as am personal
ly concerned l have never gone in ex
tensiyely for horse shows, have the

His later works attracted less atten.

to savants. In recent years he has
devoted much time to the preparation
of charts Of the Eastern desert Of
Egypt. Many Of his papers have ap.
peared in the periodical Of the Berlin
Geographical society and the Zeit-
schift fur Ethnologie. Although his
speciality has been botany, he has made
many important contributions to an
thropology. among the more recent
ones being an attempt to throw a

Wallace, Idaho-The jury in the
trial of Steve Adams for the murder of
Fred Tyler, after being In deliberation
thirty.s!x hours, announced through
Foreman George Ellers, that it was
impossible to agree upon a verdict, and
was discharged by Judge Woods.
The jury for many hours stood at
seven for conviction and five for ac-
quittal. and it was only on the last
ballot that the jurymen stood evenly
divided, six for conviction and six for
acquittal.
Judge Woods thanked the jury for
its patience and diligence in service,
after the foreman declared positively
that 1t was impossible to reach a ver-
dict and declared them discharged.
To-day the jury after several hours'
deliberation, called for the court and

a POLITICAL JOB.

Adyices from Japan Indicate very
plainly the erux of the insistant, and
heretofore. inexplicable turmoil raised
over there, anent the comparatively
small matter of the wrecking OF the
Japanese restaurant and bathhouse in
San Francisco during the labor rows
there; it is part and parcel Of politi-
cal program foisted by an ambitious
Japanese statesmen, one Yamaoka, a
Progressist, who seeks to oust the
present ministry and take over the reins
Of government himself.
This is pleasant news, since it quail.
fes a situation that was hard for the
average American to understand. It
shows that the absurd demands sug-
gested and all but demanded, are not
the unified expression Of the Japanese,
as a people. and are but predicate
wherefrom a given individual proposes
to vault into national pre-eminence, and
it dissipates the ridiculous phase almost
assumed by our people that the "little
brown man. as nation, was seeking
far and wide for some fool "easus
belli" with the United States.
We have never doubted Uncle sam
would make everything smooth and
good in the matter of the San Francisco
trouble, in spite of the over-weening
and urgent character Of the presenta-
tions made in this relation by japan,
but no man Of sense in America has
dreamed of war War is not the readiest
solution of small issues; it is the last
expedient left to men and nations and
is resorted to only when every other
acceptable alternative has failed. We
are glad to know the truth and the
pith of a matter that was becoming a
bit exasperating; and we shall watch
the progress of the progressists with
unfailing interest, since there is wrought
in their program in Japan an element
ary chance that they will force war
with this country rather than fail in
their political mission.
