UNTIL the news of the flghting at Lexington, Mass, on April 10, 1773, reached London tbe British rot
ernment cherished hopes that the rebellion of the American colonists might be tut down without force.
After that, howerer, it was -en in England that further fighting was inevitable. The news of the skir
mish was received in London on May 29, when Richard Derby, an American messenger with a petition
of remonstrance, arrived in London. Tbe official dispatches of General Gage were published in London on June la
The enemies of the British ministry began Immediately to Jeer at "the great Brituih army at Boston that has been
beaten by a flock of Yankees!"
TO ASK CITIZENSHIP
FOR THE JAPANESE
Will Settle California Problem,
Says Mikado's Agent.
Baltimore. Dr. Shosuke Sato, who .
has been studying tbe Japanese que- I
tion in California at tbe direction of
the emperor of Japan, said here that
be would report to bis sovereign that
the only way the California land prob
lem could be settled would be for tbe
Tnited States to grant citizenship to
the Japanese now holding land in that
state. He also said he would recom
mend that no more' Japanese Immi
gration' be allowed.
I have made a careful study of the
California situation," said Dr. Sato,
"and in my report to my government I
will state that, in my opinion, there is
but one way to settle the differences
between the Cuited States and Japan '
ever the California question, and that I
is by granting citizenship to the Japa-
nese now holding land In California. I
When this is done Japan will have no
further trouble with the United States.
There are at p.'s?nt about 100,000 Jap
anese In the United States, and over
half that number are qualified to be
come citizens of this country.
"I will also recommend that no more
Immigrants come to this country. The
matter can very easily be arranged by
.making an agreement or new treaty
between the countries.
"Japan will show her friendship for
tfie United States by not pressing tbe
California matter nntll the Mexican
question is settled. The Japanese gov
ernment is of the opinion that the Cali
fornia question is a matter entirely
within tbe Jurisdiction of the federal
government and should be settled in
Washington.
"The Japanese in California are now
in a very bad way, and the people of
California do not care what becomes
ef them. By giving them citizenship
and a vote the tension would be re
Seved. Japan has nothing to gain by
going to war with tbe United States,
and I personally do not think that a
conflict letween the nations will occur.
"As to Mexico, there are a number of
Japanese who have gone to that coun
try to engage in agricultural pursuits,
but in my opinion it wuuld be better
for them to go to Brazil or some other
country in South America. There is
ne thing certain Japan will not med
dle in the Mexican muddle."
This Ox Wat a Whopper.
Hillsdale, Mien. About the largest
hide ever received at the local tannery
has just been dressed. It was that of
a white ox and was received from
Lake View. Mich. The hide measures
eighteen feet from the nose to the tip
of the tail and twelve feet across.
When green the hide weighed ICS
pounds and when dressed twenty-five.
Germany has hitherto been content to
go about armed to the teeth. Now the
armament line is carried higher by an
rder prohibiting the close clipped or
English mustache.
An Englishman has invented a ma
chine to identify a criminal by bis gait
We had always supposed there was a
certain uniformity about the gaits of
men with the police after them.
An English court decision In a casa
involving liability In connection with
tbe Titanic disaster indicates that
mnch of the printing on transportation
tickets is literature and not law.
AFTER RIVER PIRATES.
Post
Organircd to Extsrminata th
Wholesale Frebootrs.
Martinez, Cal. River pirates, whose,
depredations In the Carquines stralta
and the tide lands of tbe San Joaquin,
valley have caused farmers a loss of
many thousands of dollars, are to be
exterminated, it was learned here.
With the co-operation of the federal
authorities Sheriff R. R. Veale of Con
tra Costa county has organized a pick
ed posse to wage war on the inland
freebooters.
The chief source of revenue of tbe
pirates is the merchandise produce
piled along river levees awaiting ship
ment The method of the gangs is to
moor a scow at night in midchannel
and row to the wharves, from which
the produce is removed and brought to
the bay cities and sold. Tbe delta sec
tion has been a rich field for the gangs.
CASPIAN SEA SINKING.
Steamships In Many Placet Unable to
Reach Landing Stages.
SL Petersburg. The scientific world
in Russia has for some time been oc
cupied with a curious natural phenom
enon. The surface of the Caspian has
since June, 1910, been continually sink
ing and is now beginning to be incon
venient for navigation, as steamers in
many places cannot reach the landing
stages.
Trofessor Shoralskl, commisslned by
the government to study the subject,
has ascertained that tbe amejint of
water contributed by the rivers flowing
Into the Caspian, especially by the
Volga, has considerably diminsbed. It
is therefore quite possible that the
river water flowing Into the sea Is not
sufficient to make good the loss caused
by evaporation.
DOG FIGHTS FIVE MULES.
Result It Four Dumb Patients For the
Veterinary Hospital.
Clinton. Ind. A bulldog attacked five
mules In the barn lot near here. The
dog took them one at a time, leaping at
their throats. Repeatedly the mules
thook off the dog. and twice they
kicked him.
One mule picked the dog up by the
skin of the back and shook him. When
thrown to the ground the dog caught
another mule and held to its throat
until It went to Its knees. The men
who saw the combat say that another
mule then pawed the dog so fiercely
that it lay unconscious till carried from
the lot
The dog and three of the mules are
now at a veterinary hospital.
THE 8PIRIT OF AMERICAN
INDEPENDENCE.
Let us, standing by our fa
thers' gravet, twetr anew and
teach the oath to our children
that with God't help the Ameri
can republic, clatping this con
tinent in itt tmbract, shall
ttand unmoved, though all the
powert of tlavery, piracy and
European jealouty thould com
bine to overthrow it; that we
shall have in the future, as we
have had in the patt, one coun-
try, one conttitution and one
C dettiny; that our torn may
I gather itrength from our ex-
( ample in every contest with the
Jdetpotitm that time may have
in ttore to try their virtue, and
that they may rally under the
start and ttripet to battle for
freedom and the rightt of man
with our old time warcry, "Lib-
t erty and union, now and for-
ever, one and inteparable."

Let us always remember that, what
ever differences about poiitics may
have existed or still exist, we are all
Americans before we are partisans and
cherish the welfare of all the people
above party or state. God bless every

The South Dakota experiment sta
tion has developed a sugar beet which
It is claimed contains 25 per cent by
weight of sugar. What this means
will be understood when It is remem
bered that the average sugar content
of commercial beets is usually less
than 10 per cent.
