the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Nayi
CATION compony Sir Thomas Sutherland.
chairman of the company, had to make
the startling confession that the entire
trade of the line between Bombay and
Japan had been wiped out by its Japan
csc competitors.
Speaking Of the strides made by
japanese trade in the east the chairman
said it seemed to him "The soul of a
people that he'd lain dominant for cen
tlries had suddenly awakened to almost
supernatural activity"
He said he thought the japanese gov
eminent, to a certain extent unfairly,
was forcing the Japanese steamship
companies to increase their Bombay

Chicago, Dec. 1i.--Statc's ATTORNEY
John j. Healy announces publicly that
he will enforce the laws and close every

Episcopal church, which followed the
issue of twenty nine warrants against
proprietors of leading hotels in Chicago,

The saloonkeepers by their actions,
Healy asserts, have aroused a revolt
among the thinking people Of the city
which will result eventually not only in
Sunday observance, but in shorter hours
for the saloons and the total wiping
out of many disorderly places leagued
with vice and crime.
