the tempting and toothsome delicacies,
the young folks decided to have some

speak what I say in condemnation of

that with more precaution after
the warning, the loss of lite might
have been less. My heart goes out in
sympathy for the stricken city and the
people.
There was no Paul Revere on tha
occasion to proclaim the c uning of tlx
enemy, or a last Johnstown rider t
notify the peoplo of the oncomin/
waters, which would destroy them
and the impending dangers to thei
bd >ved city. If there had been sue
messengers, they would have had thei
work ol love for no purpose in a
probability, for it seems that man
persons did not, or could not reab;
the dauger, even when it was upc
them. Storms had visited Galvesti
before., and the fated city had passi

Mr. S. Iwaumra, who is a graduate
5 of the Japaucae Imperial l uiversity
and Chief Secretary of the Kyota
1 Chamber of the Commerce, who is
e making a semi-offi rail tour of the U. S.,
with a view to increacing business bec
tween Americans and Japanese, is now
" in Washington. He expressed himu
self as to what ought to be done by
l>' powers in China: There are two posa~
sible course for the powers to take in
116 dealing with the future in China. One
is to nmke a confederacy out of the
country, with the different provinces
as independent states, like the Gerjp
many Empire. The second course is
' 1 j to preserve the Chinese Empire under
, , new rulers. The formatation of a coucj,
federacy would be no easy task for the
powers, and they would have to act
I* a fs protectors and general overseers all
* the time. If the powers interested in
China would stand firm in the mainteuance
cd'the Chinese Confederacy,
ri j the thing could be accomplished. The
ujre present dynasty has uot sufficient
ken 3UIM, )r: nor popularity to maintain its
an(j authority. Many of the ignorant and
?;? natiups are led to believe
ook- aui,CI0l,,,v"0 ?
l)C_ through the "star-gazers" that the end
of the present dynasty is near, and the
multitudes look for a new reign within
e he !l s'lort time. A strong army will bo
needed in China all the time, and
iwer *^'ll>an can furnish this army if the
trade ?'*ier interested p)wers will come forirted
vvar<i wi''1 the money."
