kondo has Just returned from London
where he attended the convention Of slec1
trieal engineers as a delegate os TIA
japanese government.
Speaking OF the progress OF electrical
science in Japan. 8Ir. Kondo said elec-
trlcity was used IN his country for ths
same purposes as IN European countries
OF n America "Our street cars are
operated by means of electricity said
Alr- Kondo, and there was but little new
that 1 could see abroad which was nor
already IN practical operation IN japan.
we have now four wireless telegraph
stations. continued the japanese. and
more are n course Of construction OF
course. al our war ships and vessels OF
the merchant marine are equipped with
wireless apparatus and the goverruent
pays the greatest attention 10 the science.
There IS law prohibiting private enter
prises from embarking IN the wireless
telegraph business unless the government
gives them special permit You musr
understand that the government OF japan
has a monopoly OF tSs telephone and tele<
graph systems. and that no private con-
Germs may embark IN any OF these gov
eminent monOpOlies without first having
the permission OF the government The
charge OF 15-cent telegTsphic message
IN 4aDan is 30 cents. and the messagS
may be sent IN any code
There Is absolutely no other feelings
but those Of friendship agitating the
mind Of the people Of japan All this
talk about a possible war between Japan
and the United States IS sheer nonsense.
There is no idea IN Japan OF going %
wsr with America"

Franz Ferdinand. tae heir 10 ths
throne Of Franz Josef. IS not as pOpu-
Lar IN Austria IS he probably Is in Hun
gary" said SIr. Klein. He is TOO much
under the dominance Of the church. and
IS considered a very narrow-minded
man. Everybody IN Austria seems 70 be
afraid of the future. Everybody seems
20 think that the internal administration
OF the dual empire viii experience q com
plete revolution. resulting in the cur
tailment of many personal rights and
privileges
Herr Klein said the German Emperor,
next 10 Kaiser Franz josef, was the
most popular man in Austria; that hs
was ever ready and prepared 70 take
advantages OF opportunities as they Of
fered themselves. and that he always had
the interests OF Sis country IN view. II
the German Emperor should enter the
German provinces OF Austria and annex
them 70 Germany after the demise OF our
beloved sovereign. he would be received
with open arms. The Austrian people
fully appreciate the loyalty with which
he stood BY Austria IN the late Bosnia
and herzegovina crisis
The Czech element is q source OF great
weakness 70 the Austrian empire, and it
is most difficult 10 arrange the differ
erces between the Germans and CZechs
with satisfaction. The Germans in Bohe-
mia are the property holding and tax
paying class. while The Czechs compose
the working class. and are numerically
the strongest"
