Nli W YORK, Aug, 14. -As a result
of a light between Inmates of the bear
den in the Bronx Zoo gardens, one
bear is in the hospital, figuratively
speaking, and may come out only in
the shape to be made Into bear steaks,
while another is proudly strutting up
and down inside his cage, proclaiming
his victory in bear language.

The two have been on bad terms for
a long time but were kept a safe dis

cording to keeper of the bear den, has
been scheming to get past the barri

way. At the rear end of the dividing
line of iron bars several had become

Americans residing in Tokio, Yoko

believe that the special dispatches ex-

in a deadly embrace and slashing at
each other with their long sharp
claws. Soon there were ten keepers
on the ground, prodding the bears
with the pikepoles. The bears paid

the Japanese to welcome the Ameri

the revival of the anti-Japanese pro
paganda in America will, they fear,'
undoubtedly afford gratification to
the competing countries represented
here and also seriously damage Amer
ican trade. Count Okuma's frequent
utterances do not create a ripple here
ami his most recent one was passed
quite unnoticed by foreigners until
the specials announced the outcry of
the 'Almcrican newspapers

wounds were attended to by the keep
ers as well as can be done with the
bear still in ap ugly mood, but the
keepers are afraid that he is fatally
hurt.

Count Okuma's statement, which
has caused all the comment, was an
excerpt from a series of articles prin
ted in the Hochi, a Tokio paper which
arc being wsitten by Count Okuina re
viewing the world politics and printed
from day to day.
When Count Okuina returned today
from the country he said to the Asso
ciated Press that he was surprised to
find that his utterances had been con
sidered purposely offensive.
"It was only natural," said he, "in
reviewing the world's politics, to point
out that Japan's rise above the hori
zon had caused the American navy to
turn its attention toward the Pacitic,
When it was absolutely true that
some Americans talk unwisely con
cerning, Japan but never for an in
stant have I desired or intended to re
flect on the honor and courage of the
American navy or its. sailors; but it
is an uncontrovertable fact that com
mercial considerations weigh mater
ially with all older nations, even when
it becomes a question of war. No
one will endeavor more earnestly
tlian myself to cultivate cordial rela
tions with America because I realize
that only through such cordial relati
ons can Japan hope to become a real
ly great nation."
In an article published in the Ilochi,
August 11, Count Okuma attributed
the present naval expansion policy of
the United States to the sudden rise
of Japanese to the importance of .
world power, saying in part: "Judging
from the fragmentary speeches of
President Roosevelt that have been
transmitted here, it, is not difficult to

Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Theodore Iluerth, living on Park
Place, about two miles from Oregon
City, Ore., says: "I found Doan's
Kidney Pills do just what is claimed
for them. For a long time I suffered
from a lameness and aching over the
Wdneys and an irregularity of the ac
tion of the kidneys. The trouble was
not severe enough to lay me up but
was very annoying and made it diffi
cult without my back paining me. I
was induced to try Doan's Kidney
Pills from the recommendation of
friend, and procured a box. Their
use absolutely removed the trouble
with the kidneys, strengthened my
back and in every way proved your
remedy to be worthy of the greatest
confidence.
