commercial relations between the two
nations, we are also on an eminently
sound basis, this being clearly shown
by the latest trade returns. In 1910
the total value of Japan's exports was
approximately Y45S,OOO.OOO of which
nearly one-third went to the United
States, while a large percentage 81 our
imports was received from your coun-
try. firmly believe that such happy
state of affairs is due to the fact that
men of high standing and influence
from both our countries have eX-
changed visits which have contributed
to the consolidation Of amity. This is
especially true in the matter of trade.
The more the buyer and the seller
keep in touch with each other the less
are the chances for mistakes and mis-
understandings, and the more pleas
ant and satisfactory is the course of
the transactions. | am happy to say
that this city has special interest in
the United States, Yokohama being
the first port of call for steamers and
visitors from America, and the last
port for those going to America. With
the further improvement of transport
ing facilities and the opening of the
Panama Canal, our relationship will
be still closer. | understand that Your
association is one of the most infuen-
tial organizations in the United
States, and its members consist Of the
leading mine owners and engineers in
America, who have always shown keen
interest in our country and have eX-
tended to our visitors to your cities
every courtesy. | now wish in con-
clusion to propose the health, prosper
ity and continued success of our
guests, the members of the American
Institute of Mining Engineers, who
have honored us with their presence
in the afternoon"
The toast was heartily received, and
responded to by one of the party.
The American mining engineers,
now in Toxic, visited the College of
Engineering in the Toxic Imperial Uni
Versity on the 9th last, and then pro
ceeded to Uyeno Park. In the even
ing they were entertained by Mr.
Ozaki, mayor of Toxic, at a dinner at
the Seiyoken, Tsukiji. Among those
present were Mr., Thos. Summons, the
United States consul general in Yoke,
hama, members of the American en-
bassy staff, Viscount Uchida, minister
of foreign affairs, and many others.

which threw part of the enemy's
line into confusion, but the Imperials
were quickly rallied by their officers.
There was one group of students
who had resolved never to turn back,
but to oppose the Government troops
to the last man. These men had two
field guns just above the Concessions
and were doing effective work. About
five hundred of the Government
troops crept under cover to a position

j. 5. SHIPS ARE
RUSHED TO CHINA

MANILA, November THE cruiser
Saratoga, the monitor Monterey and
a gunboat have been ordered to China.
The vessels are being QUILTED with
feyerish haste at Olongapo, and will
get away for Shanghai or Tientsin at
the first possible moment perhaps to-
day. The Saratoga will convoy the
Monterey and the gunboat.
The army collier and supply ship
Abarenda, which reached port yestef-
day after landing marines at Tientsin
as reinforcements of the American le-
cation at Picking, will sail again for
the scene of action this afternoon or
tomorrow morning.
This time the Abarenda will take
about 200 sailors to Shanghai for serv-
ice on the cruisers there under Rear
Admiral Murdoch.
A force was at work all last night
in storing the Abarenda with coal
provisions and munitions of war. She
is a large ship of 1000 displacement.
The ninety-five officers and men of
the United States Marine Corps which
the Abarenda took from Manila two
weeks ago were landed safely in Tien-
tsin and left at once for Picking. The
trip to Tientsin was uneventful, and
the members of the relief column
looked forward to their Picking adven-
ture with great gusto.
Officers of the Abarenda stated to
a Cablenews-American reporter last
night that refugees had begun to flock
into Tientsin from Picking even before
they left on the return trip to Manila
The refugees said that people were
leaving the capital city in thousands,
using every kind of conveyance and
blocking the roads in all directions.
The officers also said that the for
eign residents of Tientsin were very
uneasy.
HONGKONG, November 6.-The
news of the fall of Picking received
here tonight has thrown Hongkong
into a state of intense excitement and
the widest enthusiasm prevails.
Reports that the emperor, the
prince regent and the empress dowa-
ger are prisoners of the rebels as they
have successfully been communicated
to the people of this city have lifted
the people to the highest pitch of joy
Billow after billow of loud, unre-
strained cheers go forth continually
from thousands of throats The col
ony is blaze of lights from the praya
to the peak,
Fireworks are popping, bands play
ing. torches fiaring, and everywhere
excited Chinese swarm with rebel
flags in their hands.
The scene is beyond description.
Only a Carlyle could do justice to it,
Foreigners marvel at the demonstra-
ton, and it is one of the greatest ex-
periences of a lifetime.
The fall of Canton is expected be-
fore morning. The remnant of the
imperial army there is in despair and
the capture of the viceroy is only a
question of hours.
Companies A and B of the York
shire regiment of British troops sta
toned at Hongkong have orders to
hold themselves in readiness to pro.
coed at any moment to Shanghai. The
flagship Minotaur of His British Maj
estys navy, now in this port, together
with other vessels of the fleet, have
also been ordered to have all matters
in readiness for any emergency Or
.ders are confidently expected at any
moment to proceed to the north.

theaters had matinees and men from
the feet were greatly in evidence.
The boys Of the Cadet Battalion in
Honolulu were on the streets in uni
form and, with their fair partners or
alone, seemed to be getting huge en-
joyment out of watching the antics
and happy-go-lucky stunts Of the sail
ors. The Cadet uniforms made
pleasing contrast to the naval dress.
Schofeld Barracks had very few
sporting events on the program, rs
the recent general inspection kept us
quite busy few scrub games of
ball were played-but most of us
were too full for utteranCe by 1870
p. m. and that downy couch sure had
to get busy. No use talking-the
feathers are the prime necessity after
such feeds as we sat down to- That
loose feeling that comes when a full
up stomach is gently deposited in the
exact center of an army bunk, and
both arms are allowed to swing gently
toward the floor, while you blow
smoke wreaths into the air-Ah!
that's the best feeling this side Of
Heaven with its golden harp.

ARMY WIRELESS ON OAHU.

I
The Defender: 1t is rather an in
teresting fact that, right hore on our
little Island of Oahu, men ale weav-
ing out of the ether words that may
some day save an army or demolish an
enemy. Here, there, back and forth,
tiny sparks dart through the air, and
men talk to ten miles away Scouts
sight an imaginary enemy down in
one of the Leilehua guIches, send a
quick message to the achievements
stationed out beyond Wahiawa, and
while the enemy" crouches, ready to
spring upon the post, a message is
flashed back that reinforcements are
on the way, and the day is saved by
the &C. o. D." of the army.
The Secretary of War has selected
the Fifth Cavalry to test the prac-
ticability of field wireless equipment
for each regiment of cavalry. Every
week, sixteen men under the super
vision of Lieut.. Winters, Signal Corps,
starts out on a wireless test. This
test is to train the men in the oper-
ating and setting up of stations. The
sets being used by the Fifth Cavalry
Wireless Corps have a radius of about
thirty miles, and the equipment is car
ried on the backs of mules.
! On November 10, II and u, quite a
successful test was made. Eight men
under Sergt. c. H. Bumps, assisted by
Corporal Tapley, set up a station,
designated as 3D." at Haleiwa. The
other eight men, in charge of Serge
ant Kinsey, assisted by Corporal Nc
Cormick, set up station "W," at Wa
hiawa, the distance between the two
stations was only about sixteen miles
but the men proved their efficiency
Tin spite of their short training OF
about three months) by getting into
almost immediate communication
Both stations were supervised by
Lieut.. Winters, and the work done was
a credit to him.
I If it can be conveniently arranged
these weekly tests will be continued
until the men are expert, and either
the practicability or the impractical
bility of field wireless for the cavalry
proved

eventually the epileptlc was disguised
because he was arrested for causing
a disturbance.
A few nights later a drunk sent In

men were galloping to the scene. This
"plucked bird" was fined for sending
in a false alarm.
Last year one Of the innovations IN
the rescue work of New York f1remen
which includes anything from taking
cats from trees to rescuing people In
42-story buildings, was the rescue OF
an aviator whose machine had be-
come entangled In a maze of wires In
Brooklyn.
A little girl, eager to get "look'
into a fine garden, thrust her head be-
tween two pickets and once there she
was unable to release herself. The
firemen and police were called. but
finally doctor came forward with a
little vasaline, applied it on the
child's head and the rescue was ef.
fected.
Recently fireman was injured by a
fall from a tree while rescuing cat
that had escaped a CANNES fury.
There are scores of such happenings
every day in great cities and among
the heaviest bills fire departments
must pay are those caused by re-
spending to false alarms.

STYLE of Street Letter Box Changed

concealing the time when the next
collection is to be made.
Four things have been taken into
consideration In trying to adopt de-
sign for a new street letter box. The
first is that of economy of time for
the collector. Instead OF having to
open the box from the side and re-
move the contents by handfuls. the
department wants a box that will
open and discharge its contents into
a sack with a single operation.
In searching for this the question OF
the artistic appearance Of the box has
by no means been overlooked. II
new box is to be adopted, the postal
authorities are determined that It
shall combine as much grace and
beauty in it's appearance as 1t is pos
sible to give such a unitarian object.
An indestructible time card and an
automatic indicator that will show the
time at which the next collection is to
be made are the two other points
that have been given consideration.
The first becomes unnecessary II the
automatic Indicator works satisfac-
tory, but the experiments thus far
made by the postoffice department
have not developed an automatic de-
vice sufficiently trustworthy, to put in
to use on the street letter boxes.

Uncle Sam to Have Aeroplane Fleet

money in this way the machines at
these stations could be used with the

Representative James r. Mann of
Illinois declared that this country was
the father of the aeroplane, but when
we had provided the most powerful
and most economical machine of mod

ingenuity. We are discussing the
aeroplane now just as our forefathers

Mrs. Frank Mckay has been selling

down to shining shoes. When the

to hold celebration,
or course the women are making
good. Clad in sealskin jackets and
modish hats, they are making a great

Make Plans to Beauty the Capital

built, AZ they were in Paris in tho
days of the Terror. On his plan he
designated various places where the
great public buildings Of the future
should be put. For nearly half hun
dred years Major LEnfant was re-
garded as an impractical dreamer, al
though his street plan was adhered to.
It was only after the civil war that
people began to realize in a small
way that his vision Of the future
greatness Of the nations capital was
likely to come true some day. But
even up to ten years or so ago his
plans slumbered in the archives OF
the government. Then they were TAX
en- out and studied in the light Of mod
ern development, and it was found
they could not be improved upon, and
that If they were carried out in every
detail Washington would surpass ev'
cry other city in the world in beauty.
The completion Of these ancient
plans Of this French engineer Is still
far away. for it will take many years
and much money to accomplish them
in all their details. But the three mas
sive buildings whose location was des'
ignated so long ago will be the most
important step toward their fulfill
ment that has been taken since the
capitol was erected.

NEW YORK.-1n the face of acct
~ dent the unresoufceful New York
er flies to two sources of safety and
relief Of the police and the fire de-
partments. He has no confidence in
himself. The result of walking in the
same groove with his many brothers
day in and day out for so many years
has left him with no incentive to do
the work Of rescue. The fire alarm
box Is SO handy and the "cop" is so
accessible, what would be the use?''
he asks himself. For this reason no
f1remen in any section Of the country
are called upon to do s9ch a variety
Of things as those in the larger cities.
Perhaps one of the most humorous
calls for the fire department in New
York came when an epileptic, about
to throw fit," had held a bottle of
medicine to his mouth, which he ex-
planned to the court afterward, would
have prevented the attack. Some SELF
appointed guardian, imagining the bot
tie contained poison. dashed it to the
pavement and called for the f1remen.
Great crowds gathered about the spot
where the man lay and the firemen
and policemen of the district added to
the throng. The firemen were dis
