HOW JAPANESE SUBMARINES
BROUGHT ABOUT VICTORY
To the ingenuity of a Yankee inven-
tor the Japanese can largely ascribe
the credit for their great naval vic-
tory in the Korean straits, according
to the statements of persons con-
nected with the building of submarine
boats in this country. Six Holland
submarine torpedo boats of the type
invented by John P. Holland were at-
tached to Admiral Togo’s fleet, and
these are supposed to have caused
much of the havoc among the Russian
battleships.
When the boats were shipped to To-
klo the Holland Company sent with
doubts and misgivings on the part of
high officials.
Admiral Hlchborn, Admiral Dewey
and other sea dogs declared that while
the submarine boat bad proved its
powers to remain below surface for
long periods and to be operated at
high rate of speed, its greatest effi-
ciency would be found not in attack-
ing a fleet on the high seas, but In har-
bor and coast defense work.
In 1901 Queen Wilhelmina of Hol-
land sent a special commission to this
country to inquire Into the subject of
submarines, and a special demonstra-
Jap Battleship Lowering the
them a number of high-salaried en-
gineers and mechanics to put them to-
gether and to instruct the Japanese
naval forces in their operation. At a
secret shipyard in Japan the four
boats were completed aud the prelimi-
nary maneuvers begun.
‘‘They were launched May 10,” said
Mr. White, “and proved eminently sat-
isfactory in their traits. They were
equipped not only with the latest im-
provements in torpedo tubes but with
powerful searchlights capable of being
operated under the water, giving them
an immense advantage in actual war-
fare.
“It was these submarines that did
the work. They were sent there for
that purpose. If there are any Rus-
sian warships left all the Japanese
need do is to round them up, keep at a
safe distance and let the submarines
finish them. If this course is pur-
sued there will not be a Russian flag
afloat on the seas of the Orient.”
Inventor Holland, while not disposed
to declare that he had any personal
knowledge of the use of this boat by
that several were in use in Togio’s
fleet.

tion of the Holland boat Fulton was
given for the commission at Greenport,
L. I., the commission remaining on
board while the boat dived, sank rose
and fired dummy torpedoes. Japan at
that time had not taken up the con-
struction or purchase of submarines,
although France had seven in commis
sion and twenty-six ordered.
England and Germany were back-
ward about looking into the Innova-
tion, the consensus of opinion among
the older naval officials of most coun-
tries being that the new boats would
not stand heavy seas or prove effective
in a naval battle. Their cost, approx-
mating $170,000, was also urged
against them, and it required hard
work to induce the United States
Navy department to approve of the
submarines.
Deodand Law for Scorchers,
When the marquis of Queensberry
seeks in court a license to carry a
gun to protect himself and his chil-
dren from the deadly onslaught of the
reckless automobiler, it is apparent
that over-speeding and scorching
through city streets is by no means
an evil confined to strenuous Arneri-

were received and it was appared that
the .submarines had played a large
part In the work of destruction Mr.
Holland was asked what part they had
played In the battle.
“I have heard that In October, 1904,
the company with which I am con-
nected sent five across the continent
to San Francisco,” he said, “and then
last April two more of a much superior
model were reported bw the Japanese
Embassy at Washington to have stood
all the tests and to be in commission
in Japanese waters. You will doubt-
less find later It was thes two boats
that did the best work.”
"It would appear as if the Russians
either did not have enough submarines
or did not ljnow how to handle what
they had. The two new boats which
the Japanese are supposed to have had
fully twice the speed of the older type,
and could have done all that we hear
was done in the Korean Straits if
properly handled. They were equip-
ped to use either the three and a half
or five meter torpedo, and with the
the Japanese, admitted he “had heard”
high speed they have they could have
cans. Since fines are ineffective, it is
now suggested that the auclcnt law of
the deodand be revived and the pun-
ishment shifted to the machine that
does the mischief. Under the deod-
and of yore a cart running over or oc-
casioning the death of a “reasonable
creature” was forfeited to the king
for pious purposes. If for cart auto-
mobile be substituted and in place of
the king a society for the prevention
of cruelty to reasonable creatures a
modern law of the deodand, the pro-
poser contends, would prove a genu
ine blessing.—Boston Herald.
Women’s Psychic Influence.
Women fittingly educated, spiritual-

to whom they are joined in marriage;
and thus through the exercise of an
intangible psychic infl lence they will

GAS AND WATER
It ONt AS NECKSSARY AS TH«
OTHERT
>#
Cltixena of Larga Cities Say It la.
New York, June 13.—In tha recent
agitation here about the price of gas,
the demand for lower ratea waa sup-
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon a sup-
ply of gas as upon a supply of good
water.
It has come to pass that the day
laborer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern Improvements In burners, Is
cheaper, better and more satisfactory
than any other kind of light. Gas
sella at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet
In large cities and from that to as
high as $3.00 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene (pronounced a-set-a-
lene), and each user makes his own
gas and is independent of Gas and
Electric Companies. Acetylene Is a
more perfect illumlnant than the gas
sold by the big-gas companies in the
cities, and the cost to the smallest
user Is about the equivalent of city
gas at 85 cents per thousand.
Acetylene Is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
Inventions that have become daily
necessities.
The light from an acetylene flame
Is soft, steady and brilliant, and In
quality Is only rivaled by the sun’s
rays. If water and a solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought Into contact, the Immediate
result Is the making of this wonder-
ful gas. The generation of acetylene
is so simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to make
it. If it Is .desired to make It for prac-
tical lighting, and to keep it for im-
mediate use, then a small machine
called an "Acetylene Generator” is
employed. There are many responsi-
ble concerns making acetylene gener-
ators. In practice, this gas is dis-
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds, or entire cities
and towns, in the same manner a3
ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the
only satisfactory means of lighting
isolated buildings located in the coun-
try or suburbs at a distance from city
gas or electric plants.
Quietness in one’s self is a revela
tlon of condolement.

NAMES BEST DOCTOR
ME. BAYSS0N PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic IIo Non
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable aud de-
pressed and nervous nud sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the puzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, nud strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr. Bayssou took Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion.
'• They have been my best doctor,” he
says. “ I was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were nlinost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular aud my complexion was
sallow. As the result of using eight
boxes of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, I have escaped nil
these troubles, aud am nble again to take
pleasure in eating.”
A very simple story, bnt if it had not
been for Dr. Williams’ Piuk Pills it
might havo been a tragic one. When dis-
comfort begins with eating, fills np the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot bo much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely a question of timo.
Mr. Joseph Bayssou is a native of
Aix-les-Bnius, France, but now resides
tit No. 2139 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. Ha is one of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in the treatmeut
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea, pain or
burning iu tlio stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness of the digestive organs by the
use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. They
uro sold by druggists everywhere.

Moscow, June 7. — The meeting of
the All-Russian Zemstvo Congress
called for today, for which 280 dele-
gates from various zemstovs and mu-
nicipalities, Including the mayors of
twenty-live cities, arrived here yester-
day and at which it was proposed to
Introduce resolutions calling for the
Immediate cessation of hostilities, baa
been prohibited.
The order of prohibition, which %y-
rived late last night, has aroused the
greatest indignation and resentment.
Very many of the delegates are de-
termined to defy the government and
to proceed with the congress, In
which case trouble may be expect-
ed.
The more radical of the delegates
ore proposing measures of an ex
treme type, and there is the greatest
anxiety over the probable develop-
ment today.
Delegates representing the social
revolutionaries and the “League of

There Are People Who Fear Hostili-
ties May Yet Take place.
Paris, June 8. — The cabinet dis-
cussion today, while covering the
general definite decision regarding
the response which France proposes
making to the Sultan’s proposition for
an International conference. This
question will be dealt with subse-
quently.
M. Delcasse and M. Rouvier had a
conference lasting half an hour late
this afternoon when the premier as-
sumed the direction of the affairs of
the foreign office.
The resignation of M. Delcasse has
caused much uneasiness in parlia-
mentary quarters, where a pessimistic
view prevails concerning the rela-
tions between France and Germany.
Some deputies declare that a situa-
lion involving possibilities of war bas
been narrowly averted and that it will
lie difficult now to reconcile the dif-
ferences already created.
Premier Rouvier appeared to give
some ground for this view and appeal-
ed to the deputies not to press their
interpellations regarding Morocco,
saying that pending conditions re-
quire the fullest exercise of patriot-
ism.
Some of the evening papers give
sensational prominence to the lack of
preparedness of French defenses on
(he German border. However, the
Temps presents a more conservative
view, declaring that the past error in
seeking to ignore Germany must now
be changed to a method of concilia-
tion. an equal desire in that direction
being displayed on both sides. “The
interests at stake,” says the Temps,
“are in the highest degree susceptible
of arrangement, and both parties,
agreeing in wishing for a solution
will doubtless work together with
frankness and good will in order to
attain it.”
This is the prevailing tone of the
in fluent ial press.

Mrs. Platt stood at the rail as the

St. Petersburg, June 7.—The inter-
view between President Roosevelt
and Ambassador Cassini at Washing-
ton regarding peace in the Far East
has not borne fruit here. Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff has not yet visited
Tsarskoe-Selo, but will lay Count
Cassini’s dispatch before the emperor
tomorrow, the regular audience day.
The Associated Press was informed
at the foreign office that Count Cassi-
ni’s report places the whole conver-
sation In a purely informal light, and
It is expected that Russia’s answer
will be returned in an equally infor-
mal manner.
The officials did not hesitate to ex-
press the opinion that the determina-
tion to continue the war was fixed
and definite. They seemed pleased
with President Roosevelt’s friendly
spirit, which was manifested In such
a form as not to require a formal re-
ply. Ambassador Meyer did not re-
ceive any dispatches on the subject
during the day, and after the flutter
of excitement in diplomatic circles
caused by the press dispatches regard-
ing the Washington interview the re-
presentatives of the powers here are
disposed to look upon the attempts to
end the war as fruitless until after a
land battle at least.
London. — Accounts of President
Roosevelt’s interviews with Mr. Taka-
hlra, the Japanese minister at Wash-
ington, Count Cassini, Baron Speck
von Sternburg and other ambassadors,
which are alleged to have been along
the line of efforts to bring mediation,
are receiving much attention here, but
In diplomatic circles it Is not believ-
ed that they will result in securing
peace. The belief is firm in all quar-
ters that Russia will continue the
war.
Peace reports come from Paris. Ber-
lin and St. Petersburg, as well as
from Washington, but not a single de-
finite indication of peace or even of
Intervention can be obtained.
At the Russian embassy it is de-
clared that the war will be continued,
and at the Japanese embassy it is said
there is no expectation of a peace of-
fer, while the foreign office states that
It does not know of any movement to-
ward peace.
As far as can be ascertained, the
British government has made no at-
tempt to bring about intervention,
though it undoubtedly is acquainted
with the terms Japan will accept, and
is in a position to take up negotia-
tions with France, Russia’s ally, im-
mediately it is understood such a
movement will not meet with a rebuff.
Among the many advocates of peace
in this country, probably the most ac-
tive is Sir Thomas Barclay, who was
largely instrumental in a powerful ef-
fort for mediation between the com-
batants a few months ago. He said to
the Associated Press:
“Three months ago the Japanese
would have agreed to these peace
terms: First, the evacuation of Man-
churia by the Russians and its return
to the control of China, under Japan-
ese supervision: second, a Japanese
protectorate in Korea: third, the sur-
rerxler of the lease of Port Arthur and
also the surrender of the Manchuria
railway to international control and
the dismantling of the fortifications of
Vladivostok. Since the naval battle,
however. I believe Japan has increas-
ed her demand to include territorial
indemnity comprising Vladivostok and
probably the island of Sakhalin. Rus-
sia will never pay a money indemnity,
nor will she sue for peace until she
becomes bankrupt. So long as she
possesses funds she will spend them
on armaments.”
MAKES FORMAL INQUIRY.
Japan Wants to Know What United
States Intends to do.
Washington. June 7.—The Japanese
minister has formally inquired of the
department of state what action the
United States government intends to
take respecting the Russian war ves-
sels now in Manila Bay. Acting Secre-
tary Loomis tliis afternoon respond-
ed that these vessels would be intern-
ed provided they did not leave the
harbor at once. This exchange has
taken place in order to formally es-
tablish the responsibility of the Uni-
ted States for the detention of the
vessels in Manila harbor until the end
of the hostilities.

REASON FOR WANTING RAIN.
Georgia Mountainer Assigns a Suffi-
cient but Peculiar Cause.
Rev. Mr. Livingston of Georgia,
told this story:
"A friend of mine down in one of
the small towns of Georgia has man)
proteges among the people In th«
mountain country near. Several years
ago there was a long dry spell is
Georgia. At about the beginning oi
it the wife of one of the mountaineers
died. The disconsolate husband fol-
lowed her to the grave and was tha
last to leave the burying ground. Hia
footprints remained, large and dis-
tinct, in the clay beside the grave. Six
weeks afterward -my friend drove out
to see how the widower was doing. He
was sitting in the door of his cabin
staring hopelessly at the cloudless
sky.
“ ’Ef hit would only turn In and’
rain,’ he said, ‘I wouldn’t ask nothin'
of nobody.’
“ 'The dry weather is bad for the
crops,’ the visitor remarked.
” ‘Tain’t crops,’ said the widower,
‘hit’s Miss Seliny Johnson. She swears
she won't marry me until it rains.’
“ ‘She ’lows it w-ouldn’t be showing
proper respect for my first wife to
marry before my tracks in the grave-
yard is washed out. I shore do wish
it would turn in an’ rain. I been
courtin’ her six weeks. Good Lord,
a man kain't wait on the weather for-
ever.’ ”
FEED YOUNG GIRLS.
Must Have Right Food While Grow-
ing.
Great care should be taken at the
critical period when the young girl
is just merging into womanhood that
the diet shall contain all that is up-
building and nothing harmful.
At that age the structure is being
formed and if formed of a healthy,
sturdy character, health and happi-
ness will follow; on the other hand
unhealthy cells may be built in and a
sick condition slowly supervene
which, if not checked, may ripen into
a chronic disease and cause life-long
suffering.
A young lady says:
“Coffee began to have such an effect
on my stomach a few years ago, that
I was compelled to quit using It. it
brought on headaches, pains in my
muscles and nervousness.
“I tried to use tea in its stead, but
found its effects even worse than
those I suffered from coffee. Then
for a long time I drank milk alone at
my meals, but It never helped me
physically, and at last it palled on me.
A friend came to the rescue with the
suggestion that I try Postum Coffee.
“I did so, only to find at first, that I
didn't fancy iL But I had heard of
so many persons who had been benefit-
ed by its use that I persevered, and
when I had it brewed right found it
grateful in flavor and soothing and
strengthening to my stomach. I can
find no words to express my feeling
of what I owe to Postum Food Coffee!
"In every respect it has worked a
wonderful improvement—the head-
aches, nervousness, the pains in my
side and back, all the distressing
symptoms yielded to the magic power
of Postum. My brain seems also to
share in the betterment of my physi-
cal condition; it seems keener, more
alert and brighter. I am. in short, in
belter health now than 1 ever was
before, and I am sure I owe it to the
use of your Postum Food Coffee.”
