The St. Petersburg correspondent
of Toe Daily Telegraph In a dispatch
dated DecemV>or 5, sent by way of
Ejdr.kuhnen, East Prussia, says:
"Lieut. Gen. SakharolT, former
minister of war, was assassinated

Sakharoff.
"She tired three revolver shots at

The tidings reached St. Peters
burg Wednesday night. Count Wltte
charged Lieut. Gen. Ltudiger, minister
of war, with the cask of breaking
the news to Mmo. Sakharcff.
"The event has reused a profound
impression In St. Petersburg, owing
to fears that the re volutionists here
will follow tl e example thus set.
"The spec.ro of a military dictatorship,
which has I een looming ou the

and sharpness of outline.
"1 am p irsooally convincsd that
Count Wltte's faith in the good sense

ICE BOX.
Colder, Cleaner, Cheaper and More
Convenient Than Ice.
Tho iceless refrigerator, which la
tho very latest refinement of the electrical
industry, threatens to dethrone
the ice man so effectually that It may
be but a short time before his shining
morning face will no longer be seem
at the back door. The icelesa refrig
erator has been perfected for the purposes
of the butcher, storekeeper,
soda water fountain and the larger
household, and it has a great variety
of redeeming features to recommend
it. It Is colder than ice, cleaner than
ice, cheaper than ice and more convenient
than ice. Those who have
made use of the new apparatus <.ay
that any one of these advantages is
sufficient to warrant its introduction,
but In the aggregate they are simply
overwhelming.
In a few words, this improvement
consists of a complete cold -storage
plant in miniature, tucked away within
the confines of a refrigerator of ordinary
si/.e. This docs not mean the
small ice box at present, but it is only
a matter of a short time before this
will be arrived at. The motor, compressor
and other nccesary apparatus
are disposed of in a compartment
at one end of the box. The space
usually taken up by the ice is occupied
by a tank of brine, by means
of which the atmosphere of the interior
is cooled. The motor operating
the cooling plant Is in action only
a portion of the time, during which
period the brine becomes so chilled
that it is entirely sufficient lo maintain
a proper temperature for some
corrsuK-rai 'v additional period of time.
For instance, in the equipment
which was experimentally installed
in a grocery store for uie purpose
of ascertaining how it met the conditions
of t lie establishment in actual
use, the motor is run only during t.Ue
eight hours of business. Although
the refrigerator is being constantly
visited by the employed during that
time, the temperature is always several
degrees lower than has ever been
obtained with the use of ice.. This
has been demonstrated by actual
tests. The same tests have also
shown that the operative costs aro
lower than the ice bill and the sanitary
condition of the interior is far
superior to that of former times when
it was charged daily with blocks of
ice, but apart from all of these, the
grocery man says lie is more than repaid
in his emancipation from the
bother and confusion of the iceman's
daily visit to his store. A soda water
fountain cooled by much the same apparatus
has demonstrated the economy
and cleanliness of electric refrigeration
for this purpose.
While the principal Is not a new
one there have always been obstacles
which seemed insurmountable in the
way of the small isolated refrigeration
plant. But these have now been
successfully overcome. ? Brooklyn

"The Bushido" in Japan.
"The Bushido" moans "iho mortal
doctrines of the Samurai," and they
are obeyed by all the statesmen, soldiers
and scholars of the present time
with as much holy respect us the
Christian's reverence for the Bible
and its teachings. In Japan Buddhism
is the popular religion, but Buddhist
teachings are not respected by educated
men or soldiers. In fact, most of
them are atheists or agnostics, who
do not believe in any religion but the
doctrines of "the Bushido."
"The Bushido," for instance,
teaches a man or woman to have the
courage to perform hara-kiri if he or
she commits any serious offense. The
spirit of this doctrine is that the offender
should kill himself instead of
waiting to he executed by the law,
which latter is considered in Japhn
as one of tho most cowardly things.
"The Bushido" also teaches that the
life of a Japanese is a gift of the holy
Mikado, and if the country need the
lives of her people they should he
given gladly, for that is only to return
to the Mikado what they have received
from him.
To die on the battlefield is the only
key for a Japanese to find his way to
his Shinto heaven, and tho soldiers
who were not killed on the battlefield
are considered unfortunate. It is
maintained in Japan that if a man
gives you a favor or money, or pleasure,
you should return It with more
than what was given to you.?Hdyosaburo

Flour Bleached by Electricity.
At least one patent?and there may
he others?has been granted in this
country to a process for bleaching
ilour by electricity. The process depends
on the bleaching action of tho
gases produced by sending an electric
current through the air or water, a
French chemist has examined a sample
of an electrically bleached flour
to see if the composition had been
changed In the process; no mention
is made of the source of the flour or
of where it was bleached. He reports
that the sample Is undoubtedly whiter
than the unbleached flour, but that 11
has a less pleasant taste and odor.
The general composition is scarcely
altered; there Is a slight development
of acid and a change in the character
of fats, a change In the direction of
rancidity. It is shown, therefore, that
uio ioou vaiue or uie nour is not
changed by bleaching, but that the
product has the odor and taste of an
old and somewhat stale article. Since
the whiteness of flour is a purely
aesthetic matter, It certainly seems
questionable whether it is worth while
to please tho eye at the expense of
the palate.

II til MUST GO
Agitation on the Pacific Coast
to Restrict Immigration.
CRY " YELLOW PERIL",
Number Has Increased From 86 in
Census of 1880 to 35,000 at Present
Time?No More Desirable as
Neighbors Than Chinese?Japan*
ese Intolerant of the Whites.
The adoption by tho California Legislature
of a concurrent resolution opposing
the further unrestricted immigration
of the Japanese, and calling
upon the national government for protection
by treaty or otherwise, is tho
outcome of an agitation begun by the
California press.
"The Japanese problem," says the
"Chronicle," "is no longer to be ignored.
It has been but lightly touched
upon heretofore; now it is pressing
upon California and upon the entire
.United States as heavily and contains
as much of menace as the matter of
Chinese immigration ever did, if, indeed,
it is not more serious, socially,
industrially, and from an international
standpoint. It demands consideration.
This article shows that since 1880,
when the census noted a Japanese
population In California of only 86,
not less than 35,000 of the little brown
men have come to this State and remained
here. At the present day the
number of Japanese in the United
States is very conservatively estimated
at 100,000. Immigration is increasing
steadily, and, as in the case of the
Chinese, it is the worst she has that
Japan sends us. The Japanese is no
more assimilable than tlie Chinese,
and ho is no less adaptable in learning
quickly how to do the white man's
work and how to get the job for himself
by offering his labor for less than
a white man can live on.
"Japan is intensely intolerant of
the white man who visits her in any
other capacity than that of the curiobuying
traveler. Industrially she has
neither room nor welcome for the foreign
devil from this side of the Pacilic.
It would seem to bo about time
for us to take a leaf out of the Japanese
code of self-protectivo patriotism."
"California has a population of a
million and a half people. The population
of all the Pacific coast States
is, comparatively speaking, insignificant.
We shall not be able at the
present time to impose our beliefs
about Japanese exclusion upon the
people of the nation?eighty millions
of them?who have been carefully
educated to believe the Jap a charming
little hero. We do not say this
in discouragement of those who desiro
n roctl'i/ltinn nf Tniwinnuil
%% vu\.iwiv/u wi iiu[/uiiv;ov; imiiiij-,1 di iuil.
Far from it. Let mem by no means
halt in the work of arousing public
sentiment. Hut, on the other hand, it
is foolish not to recognize what the
facts of the matter are. It is absurd
to go into the fight blindly ignorant of
tho nature and extent of the proJapanese
sentiment that is to be overcome.
"We all know that the ordinary Jap
is a neat, clean, personally pleasing
little fellow. We don't want to exclude
him because he is immoral or
because he sells his labor (since it is
more convenient) through a contractor.
The reason we must exclude him
is in order to preserve intact our Occidental
civilization. The Jap may be
our moral superior. In manners ho
may excel us. His philosophy of life
may be a better one than ours. Yet,
since self-preservation is the first
law of nature, we are impelled by that
immutable law to preserve our inferior
selves.
"It matters not if the Jap were an
angel of light?if he could live cheaper
and did not racially assimilate, he
would have to go. As a matter of
fact, the Jap, while personally far
more pleasing that the Chinese, is
tricky, dishonest, a liar, and unreliable,
whereas the Chineso is usually
honest, truthful, and dependable. Hut
that has little to do with tho case.
What we must base all arguments
upon is the groat and eternal truth
that two races, unassimilable, cannot
occupy the same land together in
peace.
"We have expressed the nninie? I
that no exclusion law is possible.
There Is, however, a possible solution
of the problem without it. It may
very likely happen that the Japanese
Government itself, cognizant of the
growing agitation in this coast, and
undesirous of sacrificing the friendship
of America for the slight national
advantage to be gained by unrestricted
emigration, will put a check upon
emigration of Japaneso for a few
years, at least, until the Japanese people
recover fully from the drain of the
present war and are In a position to
take a strong attitude toward this
country. Then, indeed, we shall have
a problem."?New York Mail.
Alphabet for all the World.
A movement Is on foot for the calling
of an international conference on
the adoption of a universal phonetic
alphabet. It is suggested that the
Roman alphabet should serve as a
basis, but that slight modifications
be made in the forms \>f the letters,
which would not interfere with their
legibility to any one familiar with
them in their present shapes, in order
to indicate the precise sounds for
which they stand. Such an alphabet
it is maintained, would enable any
one to pronounce correctly at a
glace the words of a foreign language,
because the spelling, apart from a
few special sounds, would be the same
as in his own language. There is
said to be no language so hindered
by its spelling as the English.?
