CHEWING GUM AS DIET.
Japanese stowaways Live On 1t For
Two Months.

Port Townsend, Wash. Especially
Living for fifty-five days ON chew
ing gum and drinking mineral wa
ter three Japanese stowaways were
found in the lazarette of the bark
Leader just previous to the depar-
ture of the ship for the United
Kingdom with cargo of wheat.
The Leader left Liverpool for
Puget Sound via Japan, leaving at
Kobe, Japan, a large cargo of gem
eral merchandise. 1t was while the
ship was discharging cargo that the
men slipped on board and secreted
several cases of chewing gum and
mineral water and slowed them
selves in the hold, where they ex-
listed nearly two months chewing the
Sweetened gum.
The captain says that had he not
found the men the chances are they
would have been taken back to ia
pan and thence to Liverpool. They
had eaten nearly three cases of
chewing gum. The inen will be TAX
en- back to Japan.

PRESIDENT CASTRO
REFUSES TO CANCEL, ORDER,
Venezuela Prepares to Defend La
Guaira.
THEY CALL IT A BLUFF.
Peremptory Demand Made by Neither
lands for Revocation of the Decree of
May IA Is Laughed At President
Asks That Confidential Agent Be
Sent to Caracas to Adjust Difficulty.

Caracas, Venezuela (By Cable) -
President Castro, in his answer to
the second Netherlands note, has
declined to revoke his decree of May
Ia prohibiting the transshipment of
goods for Venezuelan ports at Cura-
Gao which has been SO obnoxious to
the people of that island. This an
swer was made September IL. The
President expresses surprise that the
Netherlands government should ask
for the revocation of this decree af-
ter acknowledging Venezuela's right
to issue it. Continuing he asks the
Netherlands to send a confidential
agent to Caracas to arrange the
terms of an amicable settlement of
the difficulties between the two gov
ernments.
The chief of the artillery branch
of the Venezuelan army has COM
pleted the preparations for the de-
fence of La Guaira. In anticipation
of naval demonstration by Holland
before that port on November \ l.,
shells have been distributed to all
the modern guns Installed in the
forts on the mountainside above La
Guaira.
President Castros health is still
delicate and causes anxiety to. his
friends
The Netherlands government in it's
second communication to venezue-
la, dated August 20, said:
The revocation of the decree OF
May IA is demanded in the most
energetic manner and the Govern
ment of Venezuela must from this
moment and without delay fulfill the
protocol of 1894 and not prolong
the intolerable state of affairs which
it has created by the decree of May
IA.
ut is only this revocation which
can confirm, as an accomplished fact,
the assurance from your excellency
that the personal fault committed by
the minister-resident (M. DeReus)
has not altered the good relations
SO happily existing between the two
nations, and that Venezuela also de-
sires to maintain them on the most
amicable basis

ARE FOR AN AMERICAN ENTENTE.
May Take Initiative if United States
Does Not Bring About Understand
ing = Fleet Postpones Departure
From Yokohama Relic of Commo-
dore Perry's Visit.

Toxic (By Cable) Leading diplo-
mats and scholars of Japan are man
ifesting such enthusiasm for the idea
of conference of powers interested
in the Pacific that it is almost cer-
tain Japan will issue the call for
such conference if the initiative
is not taken by either England or
America.
A few of those who expressed
themselves today as unreservedly in
favor of the proposal are Baron Kato,
minister of communications; M.
Haseba, parliamentary leaders; M.
Oishi and M Matsuda, former cab
met ministers, and Professor To-
micw, an authority on international
law.
Almost Unanimous For Conference.
This list of names could be multi
piled indefinitely, for the Japanese
opinion is almost unanimous that the
time has come for clearly defined
statement regarding the future ac-
tivities on the worlds greatest
ocean.
The argument is heard on every
hand that the zones of interest and
influence of Japan, England and
America in the Orient are rapidly
expanding and must soon clash un-
less a permanent understanding is
reached at a conference called as
speedily as possible.
Americans Privately Favor Plan.
None of the officers of the Amer
lean fleet will allow himself to be
quoted on the proposition, but in
private talks many of them have
heartily Endorsed the idea.
The reason for much of Japan's
enthusiasm in the conference matter
is the attempt to stir up a feeling
in America for an alliance between
America and Japan. Japan holds
that she is the natural ally for either
England or America. or both, in the
control of the Pacific.

GROOM SHOT BijY|,.
REJECTED LOVER
Young Bride Attacked, But Her Life
Saved.

New Orleans Especially On her
bridal trip, which had begun scarcely
an hour before, and seated in rail-
road coach almost between her hus-
band and az former sutton for her
hand, Mrs. Fred Van Ingen saw the
flash of the suitor's revolver, felt The
grip of her husbands hand as the
bullet killed him and then foughl for
her life. When the girl appeared
about to become the victim of the
second bullet from the revolver, her
uncle, a man with gray hair, but
strong and cool under the excite
ment, rushed in and thrust his thumb
beneath the hammer of the revolver,
rendering the weapon harmless.
This was the story the other pas
sengers on the Texas and Pacific
"Cannonball'' told when they reach
ed this city, but the principal actors
in the tragedy, most of whom are
connected with Louisiana's leading
families, have SO far refused to dis
cuss the matter.
The former sutton is F. s. Beau
vre, of Plaquemine, La, at which
place he was taken from the train
and placed under arrest. The unfor-
tunate husband was Prof. Fred Van
Ingen, a prominent teacher of Alex
andria, La, and relative of former
Governor Blanchard. The bride is
the daughter of James M. Rhorer,
one of the leading officials of Iber-
vile Parish, residing at Baton
Rouge. Beauvre is "a years old and
Van Ingen was %.
The wedding took place at Alex
andria. Beauvre was in town, hav-
ing arrived there on the same day as
Miss Rhorer When the bridal
couple left for New Orleans, he
boarded the train and after time
sat in seat where he was facing
Mr.. and Mrs. Van Ingen, with the
bride between him and her husband.
Other passengers say Beanvre talked
with the bridal couple just before
the. shooting and say that his manner
appeared cordial.
Beauvre is alleged to have leaned
across and said: Congratulations
to you both"
The bride thanked him and added,
1--WE are very happy Z at the same
time turning to her husband to
caress him.
"This is too much" Beauvre is
alleged to have exclaimed and,
drawing revolver from his pocket,
he fired at Van Ingen, the first shot
killing the bridegroom almost in
stantly. AS the husband sank into
his wife's arms, Beauvre, with arm
still outstretched, started to pull the
trigger again, but a white-haired man
leaped forward and thrust his thumb
between the hammer and cartridge
so that the cartridge did not ex-
plode. Other passengers then caught
Beauvre and disarmed him.

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.
Beautiful Girl Wearing Diamonds

Beautiful Girl Wearing Diamonds
Goes To Her Death.
New York Especially Apparently
disappointed in love, Dora Abrams,
a strikingly beautiful young woman,
"a years old, was found dead in her
apartments, SS Gerry Street, Will
liamsburg, one of the most dramatic
cases of suicide the police have had
to deal with in years.
Every crack and crevice in the
doors and windows of her apart
ment had been carefully sealed with
paper and cloth. This task, the po-
lice say, must have required three
hours of time. Not trace was found
of any letters, nor is there any other
means of ascertaining who her rela-
tives are and where she came from.
The girls body was found lying
in her kitchen. She had dressed her
self in her finest clothes, wearing all
her jewelry. One end of a rubber
hose was tied to her mouth with
a silk handkerchief and the other
end was fastened to a small gas
stove. On the girls fingers were
three diamond rings, in her ears were
diamonds, and she had carefully az
ranged her hair before lying down
to die.

FOREIGN mine -'-'f'.
EXPERTS VIEWS
Recommendations For Minimizing
Disasters.

Washington. D. c. Especially Inn
portanti suggestions for minimizing
loss of life in the coal mines of the
United States are contained in re-
port just submitted to President
Roosevelt through Secretary Gar
field by the three foreign mining
experts who. have investigated con-
ditiOns in American mines. These
experts, Captain Arthur Desborough,
of England; Victor Watteyne, of Bel
GUM, and Carl Meissner, of Ger
many, came to this country six weeks
ago at the invitation of the United
States government to assist in the
movement looking toward a reduc-.
ton of disasters in American mines.
In transmitting the report to the
President, Secretary Garfield, of the
Interior Department, stated that "the
recommendations of the experts will
be of the highest Importance in aid
ing Congress and the different State
governments in providing legislation
which will insure more efficient and
careful operation of coal mines,
through the adoption of methods that
will materially aid in preventing the
terrible losses, of life that have oc-
Cured through mining explosions in
recent years.
The recommendation of the ex-
perts, which will be printed as a
bulletin by the Geological Survey and
distributed among coal mine opera
tors and miners, refer to conditions
which more than 100000 miners are
subjected to each day. The examina-
ton of explosives by the government
with view to eliminating the more
dangerous kinds and to improving
and standardzing the most suitable
for mining purposes is recommended
That operators should select those ex-
plosives which can be used to the
best advantage under local condi-
tons; that all explosives should be
made into cartridges and placed in
closed receptacles before being taxi
en- into the mine; that shooting in or
off the solid should not be practiced,
and that the use of larger charge
than is required should be avoided
are the contentious of the experts.
That greater care should be ex-
ercised where gas or dust is known
to occur in the mine, and that wa
tering should be more effective are
also suggested in the report
Recommendation regarding new
construction, SHAFT lining, super
structure, ventilation and haulage
are made.
The experts attach much import
ance to the use of electricity for min
ing operations and for shot firing
as of value in safeguarding the lives
of the miners.
It is the opinion of the experts
that safety and efficiency in coal min
iy,r hn oidnd fhrnnOh
the establishment and maintenance
in the different coal regions of special
schools for training fire bosses, mine
foremen, superintendent and inspec-
tors.
The foreign experts deplore what
they term the large and permanent
loss of coal in mining operations in
many portions of the United States,
which they argue might be prevented
through the introduction of more eff
ficient methods.
