7 Walter Wellman in a special io the Times-Ilerald says: troubles multiply Now she is threatened with friction with the Japanese if the government at Madrid refuses the intervention which the United States will soon offer for the purpose of restoring peace in Cuba und elects to go to war about it not only the of the Antilles will be last to Spain but the Philippines will stand in constant danger of Japanese uggression it has long been known that the ambitious Japanese hud un eager eye east In the direction of the Philippine group and it is believed a Spanish war with America would give Jnpafi the opportunity which she seeks All this is speculation of course The Japunese are shrewd enough not to disclose their purposes But it is known that Spanish diplomats have more thnn once expressed fear concerning their retention of the Philippines in case of hostilities with the Uniled States Gossip in this direction was stimulated by a call made by Toru Hoshi the Japanese minister at the state department today He made a formal request that his government be given a complete and correct list of the Japanese on the Maine at the time she was destroyed Judge Day acting secretary of state immediately placed this request upon the public "bulletin board for the use of the press Inquiry at the Japanese legation drew forth the following explanation: "The only purpose of the Japanese government in seeking to ascertain the names and cnhracter of the Japanese on board the Maine when the disaster occurred was that a record might be made As the matter stands now this legation has no accurate list of the men who were killed It is understood that there were seven Japanese on board the Maine at the time The inquiry was not for the purpose of making a demand for indemnity at this time If the United States collects indemnity for the loss of the sailors on board the Maine it is confidently expected that the families of the men will be properly dealt with and Japan has no fear that the United States will not deal fairly with her subjects temporarily in the service of the United States is admitted that these Japanese subjects were of the Unit ed States on board the Maine duly enlisted and subject to the discipline ol the ship Therefore the Japanese cam not think of looking to Spain for redress under any circumstances in the first instance It is believed that tin United States will do them full justice and therefore Japan only desires that their proper names shall be certified to its government by the United States it was stated that the list would be forthcoming" SHIP GRAIN FROM WASHINGTON First Time Since 1808 That Thli Product Has Been Diverted From the Const Chicago March A special to the Tribune from Tacoma says: The wheat market throughout

that local dealers cannot duplicate for shipment to the Pacific coast Cardin offers 63(4 cents for wheat testing fifty-eight pounds to the bushel which Is ono pound less than the test for No 1 required for coast shipments This Is for bulk wheat which Is equal to 66 cents on board for sacked wheat or 65 cents in warehouse This Is 6 cents better than local dealers offer 59 cents being the price offered Cardin has bought 100000 bushels out of the farmers' warehouse at the prices quoted above and the market Is In a furore It Is expected thrat the price will advance at all Palouse country points In consequence This Is the first time slnco 1893 that wheat has been shipped to east ern markctB in any considerable quantities There Is a report here that Is giving the shorts a nervous feeling It Is that some of Letter's brokers who have been talking bearish are really working In Leiter's Interest The scheme Is believed to be to get out a large short Interest in the country When they attempt to cover it will be found that nobody has wheat for sain but the young Harvard graduate and will feed It out to them at his own price Another rumor is that these brokers arc carrying some big shorts on their bookt and would like to see them get out from under on any break in prices by letting the country stand In their places when Mr Leiter's final round-tip on the May option comes

carefully guarded but it is known no definite understanding was reached nor a permanent organization effected Defence Is In Wilkesbarre Fu March The defense in the Martin trial closed finally this forenoon The commonwealth was given a short time to prepare rebuttal testimony To Those Coining to Alaska or the Klondike Gold Fields One thing should be imivesied upou ever miner prospector or trader coming to Alaska to the Klondike or thj Yukon country and thut is the necessity for providing an adequate and proper food supply Whether procured in the States in the Dominion or at the supply stores here or further on tills must be his primury concern Upon the maimer In which the miner has observed or neglected this precaution more than upou any other one thing will his success or failure depend These supplies must be healthful and should be concentrated but the-most careful attention in the selection of foods that will keep unimpaired indefinitely under all the conditions which they will have to encounter ia imperative For instance as bread raised with baking powder must be relied upoh for the chief part of every iea) imagine the helplessness of a miner with a can of spoiled baking powder Buy only the very best flour it is the cheapest in the end Experience has shown the Royal Baking Powder to be the most reliable and the trading companies now uniformly supply this brand as others will not keep in this climate Be sure that the bacon is sweet sound and thoroughly cured These are the absolute necessities upon which all must place a chief reliance and can under no circumstances be neglected They may of course be supplemented by as many comforts or delicacies ns the prospector may be able to pack or desire to pay for From the Alaska Mining Journal A book of receipts for all kinds of cookery which is specially valuable-for use upon the trail or in the camp is published by (he Royal Baking Powder Company of New York The receipts are thoroughly practical

to meet in an Office Row room were discussing Colonel the South published in the Courier-Journal of Sunday This led to various kinds of war talk and ex-County Attorney Allin told this one: He said that just before the battle of Murfreesboro a detachment of command was guarding a mountain pass a few miles from Bradyville Teun A portion of the valley leading to the pass was densely wooded and swampy The marshy ground abounded in bullfrogs of huge proportions and the trees afforded myriads of owls of immense size a roosting place Among the soldiers was a stripling from near Stanford by the name of Spreeler It was a gloomy wild and wintry night that Spreeler wus called upon to do guard duty Along about 1 when the sky was of a leaden hue and the wind sighed fitfully through the trees an owl on a nearby limb hooted: who who are exclaimed the sentinel trembling in his boots Just at that moment a bullfrog in deep base tones seemed to say: be darned if you exclaimed Spreeler as he fired his musket and broke for camp Which had been thrown into the wildest confusion by the alarm it being thought that the enemy was attacking the outposts When the true state of affairs was understood the others made life a burden for John until the battle of Murfreesboro when the Lincoln county stripling was promoted for conspicuous bravery He was afterward assigned to army and died like a hero at the above the while in the forefront of the charge and trying to spike the can- -non Three Brave Girin London Standard: The report of the Royal Humane society is more than interesting this month If evidences be wanted of the strength and courage and hardihood of our young women here it with a vengeance old fashioned folks would add The silver medal is granted to Miss Fullerton of Dudhope Terrace Dundee of such a heroine every detail Is worth note Miss Fullerton was strolling on the Forfarshire coast apparently when she observed a manufacturer in great distress out at sea We were not told whether she threw off any of her clothes but since the man was seized with cramfe and was drowning It is to be supposed that she did not The distance was 300 yards and the sea "heavy" but Miss Fullerton swam out and the manufacturer to preserve his presence of and also him she conveyed him safely until a boat picked them up midway This Is something like a "record" Our fathers would not have believed It possible for a girl to swim a quarter of a mile In her clothes through a heavy sea but this brave young athlete actually supported a who run to weight as a in the agony of cramp Miss Joan Harris of Belfast also plunged into the sea without undressing and rescued a grown girl further circumstances are not given but swimmers know that It was a feat anyhow Miss Louisa Bright of Reading too did not waste time In preparations when she a schoolboy drowning in the Kennet It is not many years knee swimming was regarded as a dubious sort of accomplishment of woman Tips fbr Letter's Friend A dispatch from Chicago says: John A Logan jr has been speculating in wheat on the advice of his friend Joseph Leitpr and has over $100000 "to the good" in consequence Mr Lelter and Mr Logan were thrown together a great deal at the recent horse show and became great friends Then Mr I-etter gave Mr Logan a friendly tip on wheat which the latter used to good advantage Unlike Mr Letter Mr Logan sold out when the price was high and now he has money In the bank Instead of in wheat but It Is said he has gone into the market again and holds out half a million bushels bought at a lower price than now prevails on the board Mr Lelter has told him that wheat will yet sell at Cfi a bushel And Mr Logan believes It He says he Is holding It for that price anyway Mr Lelter Is generous and Mr Logan is not the only one he has helped to fortune by giving tips on the market when llie price was low Week in London Has Been Given Over to Municipal Politics MANY PRAISE TWAIN'S EFFORTS Sir Welter Scott
