MUTINOUS CREW
ON SMALL WHALER
Sailors Refuse Duty and Demand
to Be Put Ashore, but Are
MauacIed in Hold

After battling with icebergs and a
mutinous crew, the little whaling
steamer Jeanette came into port yes
terday 50 days from the Arctic ocean.
On September the jeanette was sur
rounded by icebergs which threatened
to crush her. Captain Long lodged
about and for "a hours all hands were
on deck helping TO get away from
the mountains of ice.
They finally succeeded in getting to-
ward open water. when suddenly a
mass of ice struck the stern of the
vessel and carried away the propeller.
At the same time q breeze sprang up
and the vessel sailed to clear water.
All then went well until July T.
when the ship was so miles north OF
Nome. At that time four of the crew
refused duty and demanded that they
be allowed to have a small boat and
go ashore. Captain Long ordered them
back to work. The skipper did his ut
most to make the sailors resume duty
but they refused. He then put them
below in irons for g hours. After that
they decided 10 return to duty
The Jeanette brings $500 pounds of
bone, Is fox skins and nine bear skins
to Roth, Blum & Co. The vessel made
the trip from the north entirely under
sail.

JAPAN'S RECEPTION
PLEASES YANKEES
Pacific Coast Delegates Return
and Declare Brown Men
Are Sincere Friends

The vanguard of the Pacific coast
commercial delegation that went to
Japan some months ago returned yes
terday on the Pacific Mail liner Mon
golia and they bring from the island
kingdom a message of peace and good
will. The delegation left here for the
purpose of burying the hatchet that is
supposed to have been swinging back
and forth across the Pacific and reach
ing an understanding with the Yam
KEGS of the orient that would OF least
place the fight for the commercial SUI
premacy of the Pacific ocean on a
friendly basis. According to the four
members OF the delegation who arrived
here yesterday, they found no hatchet
TO bury. They found friendship that
extended from the mikado himself to
the school children of his realm
i think" said Albert c. Billicke OF
Los Angeles, that Japan realizes that
the friendship of the United States is
absolutely essential TO her CONNER
cial existence. On accoutn of past
happenings on the Pacific coast we ex-
pected that our greeting might be
somewhat strained. We were received
however. with open arms and were the
recipients OF more official courtesies
than japan ever before extended to ar
unofficial delegation. 1 have absolute
faith in Japan's protestations of friend
ship. We were in the country for "a
days In that time we visited Yoko-
hama, Tokyo, Kyoto, osaka, Kobe and
Nikko, in addition to making a num-
Der OF trips into the country. Where
ever we went. our reception was the
save. The school children in particular
added much to the delight of our visit
Wherever we went they received us
with smiles, and on the smallest prov
ocation filled the air with "banzais" ir
honor of the American visitors
The reception they gave the fleet
was wonderful To US as Americans
however, there was one rather humil-
iating feature of that reception, and
I wish congress could have been as
sembled there TO share the bitter pill
Because the commander in chief OF
our fleet was only a rear admiral naval
etiquette did not permit Admiral Togo
to take part in the welcome cere-
monies. We met Admiral Togo; he
gave US a dinner party, and he is q
/ fine old chap. But it hurt us to think
that our admiral, the commander of oul
fine feet, should have been sent on z
visiting tour without as much rank as
any other admiral in the world. This
/ may seem a small thing in Washing
ton, but to an American in Japan Il
hurts"
The visiting merchants saw the
rnikado reviewing his troops. He is G
tired looking man, past middle age anC
much crippled with rheumatism. The
delegates who returned yesterday say
that the japanese ruler impressed then
as the hardest worked man in the
island kingdom. A report of the triI
will be sent to the various chambers
of commerce by the committee or
trade relations, of which R. B. Hale o.
\ this CITY is chairman.
The other members Of the delegation
who returned on the Mongolia were
! Arthur F. Albertson of Tacoma. Alfred
P. Griffith of Los Angeles and MAJ
Schmidt of this city.

ARE MAKING
PROGRESS IN THE ORIENT
Bishop Seth Ward Tells of Con-
ditions at Missions in Japan
and Korea

Bishop Seth Ward of the Methodist
Episcopal church arrived here yester-
day on the liner Mongolia from the
far east, where he has been holding a
series of conferences He is now on
his way home to Houston, Tex.
The bishop was in the far east for
four months and attended conferences
In China, Japan and Korea He says
that the Methodist missions in Korea
are making good progress, but begged
to be excused from discussing the re-
Japanese. He believes, he says. that
the Japanese occupation of Korea is
permanent.
In Japan the japanese have organized
an independent Methodist church of
their own, with which the American
missionaries cooperate. The new
church. the bishop saws, is f1ourishing
and has at its head Japanese bishop.

WHISKY FOR RHEUMATISM
Unusual Prescription by Renowned
Physician Is Producing Won
derfuI Results

The increased use of whisky for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. 1t is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingredi-
ents and taken properly. The following
is the formula:
ITO one-half pint of good whisky
add one ounce of Toris compound and
one ounce of syrup Sarsaparilla COM
pound. Take in tablespoonful doses
before each meal and before retirin g.
This is said to produce almost imme-
date results.
Not only will this formula promptly
relieve the muscular pains. but it also
makes one of the most effective system
builders known to the profession. 1t
will increase the appetite and, if use is
continued. will restore full physical
vigor. to all persons of falling strength,
especially the decline caused by age.
The Toris compound in connection
with the other ingredients has such a
decided action in purifying the blood
that the good effects are noticeable
after the first few doses, but it would
be a serious mistake to discontinue
until health is completely recovered.
