No warIike Feeling shown.

The entire absence of warlike feeling
in Japan is explained by Baron KaeuO.
formerly special envoy to the United
States, who said:
The Japanese understand America bet
ter than the Americans understand Japan.
A great majority of the men holding pub
lie positions here were educated by Amer
lean instructors. and have long studied
American institutions. Now, through the
press and otherwise, they are helping the
people to appreciate the difficulty OF the
Federal government in controlling the
action of the individual States. Hence,
after the first phase Of the segregation, the
people have gained confidence in the SYM
pathy which a great majority of the
Americans still have toward Japan.
"Bushi6o, Japans moral system. in
sists that finger shall never be raised
against a benefactor. Japan owes her
position among the powers to America.
In the event of the most unfavorable out
come Of the questions pending between
Japan and the United States the former
national existence would not be threat
ened.
In the matter Of the Chinese and
Russian wars conditions were different
Even then Japan yielded point after point
in order TO avoid war. Those govern
ments s5e knew were hostile. The Amer
lean government and people, with Eng
land, are Japan's best friends. War is
unthinkable.'

person who could cure epilepsy. The
offer was made at Rochester. Pa. twen-
ty-iive miles from this city when the
Passavant Home for Epileptics was first
opened AT that place. Al a meeting OF
those interested, Mrs. Thaw declared that
her son Harry was an epilepuc. and that
all efforts to cure him had failed. She
became interested in the Passavant
Home. and many times since then she
has repeated her offer Of 10000 to any
person who could effect a cure. Although
no one ever claimed the reward. Mrs.
Thaw became one of the most liberal
supporters of the Passavant Home.
y representative of the Thaw family
has been in Rochester several times re-

of persons who have heard Mrs Thaw
offer the reward will be called to New

sensational toward the close when
heavy losses were registered under a
flood of liquidating orders. The days
developments were for the most part
distinctly unfavorable, embracing as
they did, announcement Of receivership
proceedings against a very prominent
New England manufacturing concern,
whose embarrassment was brought
about by lack of working capital. This
particular incident gave rise to much
uneasiness. 1t is generally known that
in the present state of the money mar
ket various corporations in all parts
OF the country are experiencing much
difficulty in financing their legitimate
requirements. Sentiment was also adj
versely. affected by THE failure Of the
treasury department to take action
looking to the relief Of the money mar
ket The market held moderately firm
in the early session, but in the final
hour under a succession of concerted
bear attacks, together with enforced
liquidation, prices broke violently. In
fact, the market was for a time abso-
lutely without support and stocks were
unloaded with apparent disregard for
values. The late break was ATTENDED
by a great variety of rumors, some of
which limited at serious trouble in com
mercial circles in this and adjacent cit
les.
Careful inquiries failed to elicit any
confirmation of these reports, but the
market continued its downward course
almost to the end. The closing was
extremely active and with a slight rally
resulting from covering of shore con-
tracts. The level recorded at. the end
of the day was the lowest in many in
stances for six years. In fact, not a
few issues sold as long as in the mem
orable panic of May, 1901. The DAVIS
business aggregated almost one million
shares much Of which was done in the
last hour when the excitement was at
its greatest. Some Of the DAYS ex-
IRENE declines from which there was
only partial recovery, include: ANAL
ganated Copper, s; Union Pacific pre-
ferred, q Union Pacific, 6 SIS; Ameri-
can Smelling, SIS; Reading, 10;
Great Northern preferred IA, and
New York Central, IL In the special
class the losses were even greater,
extending to ~ points in Third avenue.
The entire Traction group was very
weak. On a single transaction Wells
Fargo stock broke 20 points, and other
.so-called investment issues suffered
severely. Conditions in the money mar
ket were nominally unchanged. In
reality, all time accommodation were
sitter, practically few over-year loans
being made at less than seven per
cent. 1t was reported that promin-
ent corporation had sold block of one
year notes on an per cent. basis.
