No American could wit ness this tragedy without a feeling of profound sorrow for tho victim, but unhappily, in view of tho Philip pines, the American protest is silent from an international standpoint. "The purpose of the Japanese is to appropriate Korea and make it a gateway for encroachment upon China. The Chinese policy of Japan ls one of territorial and commercial aggrandizement, and this policy ls carried forward with a ruthlessness unexampled In modern Huies. Right ls based on might, while the world looks on Indifferently. "But history is being made here, which, in Its Ultimate and intended consequences, ls far beyond tho con fines of this country and Involves far more than the destiny of this unhap py Empire. Some day lhere will be, and must be, a reckoning." LEAPED' VHOM I'll IAN*. A Prisoner Hurls Himself Out of n Car Window.

Hud Only in Their Night Clothe*-The Ghosts liombnrds Houses With llrkk? und Stones. "Spooks" aren't afraid of police men. At least, those that have been haunting Brown street, in Georgia town, D. C., aro not. Despite tho vigilance of Capt. Schneider and his, juicers, of tho Seventh precinct, thoy continue night after night their weird ?nd ghoat-llke tricks. Tho police aro mable to Stop the showers of gravol md stones, which appear to bo tho favorito moans of manifestation of these materialistic ghosts; nor aro they able to discover whence thoy lome.

The colored people, who are tho principio victims of the spooklsh malevolence, were thrown into a pan is. The police are utterly mysteried, and tiie musty records of George town's ancient times do not shorn a dtuation quite so strange. Tho ghosts temporarily suspended bombardment of the outside of tho lwelllngs Thursday night and sought to play pranks in several of tho hous es, where tho occupants wore hidden ?onie of them in closets. The family >f "Spike" Hampton fled into the itreets to get out of the way of a ihost, which, thoy cluim, was stalk ng from one room to another. The Hampton family s?y that hid ous sounds were heard In the houso hortly after dark. While Hampton vas half asleep, he declared, a flgUro,> lothod in white stood nt tho font of ils bed.

Tho other oc upan ta of her house made their es ape and sought the protection of tho loliee, who uro as much baffled as ?vcr. The ghost mystery ls as puzzling as iver asd the police are complote' nitwitted.

Another thing that strengthens tho ;bost theory in thc minds of tho resl ients of Brown street is the estab ished fact that tho houses on tho hoioughfare were all built.of brick lug out of vaults ls an old gravo ard, which is within a stono's throw if tho haunted place.
