ENGLAND IS ALARMED
Over the Financial Predieament Of her
Asiatic AIiy-Japan on the Verge
of Bankruptcy

London. Jan. 11.-England is alarm
ed for Japan's future. British states
men think the combined political and
financial crisis there is the most SER
iDus that any nation could possibly
face. 1t needed only n glance to tell.
some time ago, just what was coming
and the past few days have showed
the world how grave the situation
really is.
One thing is certain, there will be
no further talk Of d Japanese declara-
ton of war against any other power
for a long time to come. Even with
the best management, British states
men and financiers cannot figure how
the mikadO can wiring between ,$62 and
1853 per annum from each Of his sub
jects until the war debt is paid. IL he
fails, Japan will get into the bank
ruptcy courts.
The crumbIing Of the mikado's cab
met is regarded here as an incident
purely of financial difficulty.

ITALY'S GREAT UNDERTAKING
After More Than Eighteen Centuries
the Sun Will Again Shine on the
Streets Of Herculaneum

Rome, Jan. 17.-Herculaneum, the
ancient Roman city, which has lain
for 1900 years under the Vesuvian
lava which buried it with Pompeii, is
soon to reveal its treasures to Italian
antiQuaries. The Italian government
has rejected the proposition to make
this important excavation under the
direction of an international committee
and will undertake the work as an ex-
elusive Italian enterprise. The work
will be financed by the government,
and directed by the government, al
though the authorities will be prepar-
ed to take the advice of eminent for
eign antiquaries.
The buried city is expected to yield
much richer treasures than were re-
covered from the ruins OF Pompeii, and
when the excavation is com pleted,, it
will have increased modern knowledge
of life under the Caesars to a remark
able degree. 1t is no exaggeratiOn to
say that the elimination Of Hercula-
neum will be the most important work
on antiQuatiOn research ever under
taken, since the sudden cataclysm
which overlook the city in the full tide
of it's life must have preserved much
more Of it's characteristic features than
would have survived if the city had
gradually decayed.
This will be the first time that
thorough excavation of Herculaneum
has been attempted. The surface has
been hardly more than scratched since
the site was discovered in 1873, and
the city lies from 40 to 100 feet deep.
The site has become covered with mod
ern villages, which have hampered the
work of excavation.
The results, nevertheless, have been
more interesting and valuable than
those of the POmpeiian excavations.
They have included a superb Roman
villa, probably belonging to Lucius
Piso CaesOnius, a Roman noble; fres-E
Goes of remarkable beauty and some
fine statuary; and about three thOus-
and papyri, containing manuscripts Of
famous classical authors. The theater,
the forum and a splendid colonnade
will be re-exhumed, for they have al
ready been unearthed and covered up
again.
