JAP JlNGOISM
MAKES MISCHIEF
Yellow Papers Trying to Arouse
Anti American Feeling
Through Okuma's
War Talk.
CHINA-AMERICAN ALLIANCE
Toxic Hears That Uttcrances of the
Count Have Aroused Great
Indignation In This
Country.
CHI NA-AMERICAN ALLIANCE

Toxic, Aug. 14.-Dspatches from
New York and London printed in the
japanese newspapers represent that
the recent utterance Of Count Okuma,
attributing the naval expansion policy
OF the United States to the sudden rise
OF Japan TO the importance Of a world
Power is arousing indignation, and has
caused complete recrudescence of
anti-Japanese sentiment throughout
America.
The New York newspapers are quot
ed as editorially urging an American
Chinese alliance for the purpose Of
offsetting the belligereney of the Jap
anese.
A newspaper is quoted as giving the
views of WI Ting Fang Chinese min
lister to the United States, on the sub
ject Of an alliance, in which he threat
ems Japan with an early evidence Of
the real power OF the American navy"
Americans living in Toxic, Yoltoha-
ma, and elsewhere throughout Japan
believe that the dispatches exaggerate
the tone Of the New York newspapers,
and feel that 1t Is particularly unfortu-
nate that at this time anything should
be permitted to retard the increasing
ly friendly relations of the two nations
In view Of the elaborate arrangements
on foot among the japanese to well
come the American fleet, and the
growing cordiality exhibited on all
sides towards Americans. American
business men especially regret the pub
lications because the revival Of the
anti-Japanese propaganda in America
will, they fear, afford qualification to
the competing countries represented
here and also seriously damage Ameri-
can trade.
Count Okuma's frequent utterances
do not create a ripple here, and his
most recent one had passed quite UNI
noticed by foreigners until the dis
patches announced the cutlery of the
American newspapers. Even among
Japanese statesmen and newspapers
the first expression then was one Of
amusement
Count Okuma Is regarded here as a
doctrinaire politician who is now COM
pletely without political influence ex-
cept in academic circles His state
ment concerning the American navy
and President Roosevelts advocacy Of
its expansion was undoubtedly
| brought out by reports of Representa-
tive Hobson's speech In the demo-
cratic national convention, when he
quoted President Roosevelt as pre-
dieting an early war with Japan.

KILLS AND MAINS
Airship of an American Soldier
of Fortune Explodes at
Franco British Elk
position.
WOMAN SECRETARY DEAD
Three Others Fatally Injured and
Many Hurt In Shed Where Re-
pairs to Gas Bag Were
Under Way.

London, Aug. 14.-The gas bag of
Capt T. T. Lovelace's airship, with
which he was to make flights at the
Franco British Exposition. exploded
while repairs were being made this
morning, killing q Miss Hill, who has
been acting as Lovelace's secretary,
and fatally injuring three others, A
dozen persons who were inside the
balloon shed at the time OF the acct
dent were seriously injured. To the
carelessness of some person striking
a match, which was forbidden, the ac-
cident is attributed. Capt. Lovelace
was not in the shed at the time and
was uninjured, but was overcome with
grief at the disaster and was in a
state of collapse this afternoon.
Miss Hill, who was killed. was
stitching material on the balloon at
the time of the explosion and was
flung through the shed. Every shred
of her clothing, with the exception of
her corsets, We're torn from her body,
which was fearfully burned and
mangled. Three men were hurled a
considerable distance. Their faces
were blackened, their clothing was
burned to rags and strips of flesh were
torn from their arms and legs
Many windows were battered and
other damage was done in the neigh
borhood. The shed took fire from
the explosion and the flames for q
time threatened to ignite captive
balloon that was near by. The explo-
sion caused a panic, and the crowd
made rush for safety. In the rush
a number were injured
Lovelace was preparing for his first
ascent with the balloon, which was
to have been made tomorrow.

HER GRANDDAUGHTER


After an illness of several months on
Tuesday morning the gentle spirit of
Mrs. Cassie Lindsey was released from
ITS trall tenement of clay and entered
that eternal rest beyond. Through her
illness all the loving care of a DEVOTED
husband and kind friends was show
cred upon her and the skill of physi-
clans was sought to relieve her, but no
earthly power could stay the hand of
death. She felt the end. approaching.
With the words, Take me home, dear
SAVIOR upon her lips, she walked
down to the valley of the shadow of
death, fearing no evil, resting upon the
beautiful promises of the Master, 81
go to prepare a place for you, that
where am there We may be Also"
Mrs. Lindsey was born Sept. 10, 1885,
and died March, 8, 1908. She was mar
rledto Mr.. Geo. W, Lindsey Nov. 4th,
1902. The union was one OF perfect
happiness and devotion. 1t was always
the delight of each to assure the happi-
ness of the other under all circumstan-
ces. During her illness her devoted
husband vas with her constantly, and
with the tender ursing prompted by a
loving heart, ministered to every want.
Her everyday walk was beautiful, de-
voted to her husband, affectionate in
the family circle, she was beloved bv
all, and her going away leaves desolate
the hearts of those nearest her.
The body was carried to Boguefalah
on Wednesday evening, Rev. Lucas
conducting the funeral services. She
leaves a husband, little baby 6 months
old and a host of relatives and friends
to mourn her departure. She was a
member of the Baptist church and at
all times was found trusting in the
Lord. May God comfort and sustain
the bereaved in this hour of affiiction.
Her sister-in-law,
