Than machines which cannot be adjusted to
any special space-with which it is impossible
to write abstracts, insurance policies, or odd

FOREIGN NEWS.

Secretary of War Taft aroused the
widest enthusiasm and loud cheers
when, in the course of his speech at
the banquet given in his honor by the
municipality of Toxic and chamber OF
commerce, he declared that war be-
tween the United States and Japan
would "be a crime against modern
civilization and as wicked as it would
be insane," adding that neither people
desired it and that both governments
would do their utmost to guard against
such an awful catastrophe.
The epidemic of cholera that broke
out in Russia early in August is
spreading rapidly and already twelve
provinces are affected. The disease
is reported mostly along the Volga,
but it has gotten as far north as Arch
angel and made it's appearance in sew
eral towns in Siberia. The deaths al
ready reach into the thousands.
A revolution has broken out in the
province OF C%orrientes, in the Argen-
tine Republic. The insurgents already
have seized several positions and in
the fighting with the government
troops many men on both sides were
either killed or wounded.
A terrible explosion occurred at the
Takatsuke factory at Osaga, Japan,
while a number of girls were at work
sorting shells and cartridges which
had been condemned. Sixty-three of
the girls were killed and over sixty
were injured.
One man was killed and three, in
Guiding Bobby" Walthour, the Amer
ican rider, were seriously injured in a
series of accidents on the Spandan

What Will
Perkins Do
With Money?
SHOULD THE BILL PASS HOUSE
THERE WILL BE 100000 TO
WORK WITH.

In regard to the 100000 appropria-
tlon which has passed the Senate, do
not know upon what grounds Senator
Perkins Of California secured the addi-
tional 100000" said Captain Otwell
this morning, but It IS probably IN ad-
ditlon to 100000 which was allowed
Secretary Taft when he asked for an
appropriation Of S35O.0OO.
"Of course # is a supposition upon
my part that Taft was only allowed
100000 Of the $35O,OOO. He was prob
ably called before the committee and
asked how much he actually needed to
begin work. His answer may have been
100000 and It was granted. What SEN
ator Perkins wanted with the extra
100000 Is not known. I will probably
be Informed later"
1t Is known that should this bill get
through the House that there would be
total sum for 1850, 900 to begin work
with, as there Is a sum Of $3.50, 900 avail
able at present 1t is highly improb-
able that more than 100000 could be
expended before the next session Of
Congress on coast defences here, to say
nothing Of the extra 100000 secured by
Senator Perkins.
