SAYS CHRIST is COMING
TO EARTH AGAIN SOON

New York, Aug. 6,-Mrs. Annie
Besant, head of the Theosophical So
ciety, who arrived in this country
from her home in India on Saturday,
has announced her belief that Christ
will soon make another personal visit
on earth. She said that the spirit of
Christ would manifest itself through
the specially fitted physical body of
some western person.
During Mrs. Besant's first lecture
in this country on this visit she was
asked If Christ was in incarnation
now.
"He is," she replied. "He is al
ways in some body. When he comes
next to be known he will, I think,
choose some new body. 1t may be the
body which has been trained for
some time by another. There are
signs that the supreme teacher will
come to earth shortly Let us hope
that he will be allowed to stay among
us longer than three years"

may be said that the law is a little
improvement over the Dingley law,
but not enough to result in any ap-

they have control and it is to be sup

Stockholm, Aug. 6.-Several clash
es between the strikers and troops
have caused alarm and apprehension
of more serious trouble
There is no blood-shed yet report
ed.
This is attributed to the fact tina:
liquor has been Withheld and there 1.
no drunkenness in the city.
Each clash is more serious than
the preceding one. and the situation
is more critical than ever. The streets
are Uttered with garbage and there is
o general lack of sanitation, owing
to the refusal of the men employed
to keep the city clean to perform their
labor
The danger Of an epidemic is in
creasing rapidly.

law Hits the Consumer.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The morning pa
pers after exhaustive reviews Of the
tariff measure are unanimous today
in the belief that the new law doesn't
give the consumer what he should
have though they look upon 1t as a
material improvement over the Ding
ley law:
The Tribune said in part: "The
new law has manifest defects and
would have had more but for the in
terposition of President Taft. The
Dingley law was the high waterTmark
Of ultra protection. and this law
marks the tide turned. The, contest
of the future is between moderate
and ultra protection"
The Inter Ocean says: "The new
law doesn't adequately reduce the tar
III rates, yet 1t brings relief"

JAP SOLDIERS PUT
THROUGH SEVERE TACTICS

Victoria, b. c.. Aug. 6.-Japanese
vernacular newspapers received by the
steamer Tango Maru make bitter at
tacks on the military authorities OF
Japan in consequence of the recent
fatalities by sunstroke. while the
South osaka division made forced
march of 80 miles in a burning sun
with the thermometer at 120 degrees.
The soldiers before starting were in
formed that the march was to culti-
vate fortitude. and the commanders
stated that the men should try to
withstand the march, as the honor or
victory would fall to the regiment
without stragglers or sick at the des-
tination. This excited a strong feel
ing of competition and many soldiers
became delirious, but still struggled
along under heavy marching orders
each man carrying so pounds.
Six men died and scores tainted and
fell by the roadside. to be picked up
and carried to surgeons by rickshaw.
Forty PROSTATE men were carried by
train to the garrison hospital at TAX
saka, where several, becoming insane,
attacked the officers wardroom and
wrecked the furniture. The march oc-
cupied IA 1-2 hours.
The War Department following the
newspaper complaints of brutality.
stated that "it was the duty of the
regimental commanders to inculcate
in the men the spirit of fortitude,
availing themselves of the climatic OBJ
structions The incidents were MOTH
ing but those in which weak men
succumb and strong survive, and,
while the military authorities fully
sympathize with the unfortunate SOL
diers, such incidents must be regard
ed as merely ordinary occurrences"
