PLANS Oyamas Force to Be One Million Men TOKIO Japan is meeting the Rus sian plan of reorganization and rein forcement of its Manchurian armies with an extensive expedition from its own military organization The details and figures are carefully concealed of what seems to be a plan to double the present army units but it is re liably estimated that by autumn next the total military organization will ex ceed 1000000 men actually employed in the field The fighting force is roughly estimated at 700000 men with increases largely in the infantry and artillery although an enlarge ment in the cavalry branch is also contemplated As a result of the manufacture at the arsenals in Japan together with captures and purchases of guns it is predicted that this year will see a Japanese artillery superior to that of the Russians in quality as Avell as numerically and it is confidently be lieved that the Russians will be incap able of overcoming these numerical advantages Wherever railway im provements are possible they will bo carried out when Japan will be suffi ciently strong to take and hold Har bin and simultaneously continue oper ations against the Russian forces to the eastward of that city CASTROS REPLY DEFIANT Venezuela President Flatly Refuses to Submit Case to Arbitration CARACAS Venezuela Corres pondence of the Associated Press President Castro will not withdraw the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company case from the Venezuelan courts and will not resubmit the 01 cott case to arbitration if the whole American army and navy come to Venezuela This emphatic statement of General Alejandro Ybarra the Venezuelan sec retary of foreign affairs reflects the spirit of the reply which President Castro tie to the recent proposal of the American state department for the arbitration of the Bermudez and Olcott cases It was generally rumored through out Venezuela that the demand of the United States was little less than an ultimatum to General Castro and the reply of the Venezuelan president was awaited with interest Nearly two weeks have passed since Castro made his reply and as no action has been taken by the United States and no further de mands have been made the last de mand of the United States has pone the way of many previous requests for arbitration and the incident is practically closed as far as its dis cussion is Caracas is concerned EIGHT HOUR DAY AND CANAL Believed That Law Does Not Apply to the Isthmus WASHINGTON Chief Engineer Wallace of the isthmian canal com mission had an interview with Secre tary Tart in which the conditions on the canal were discussed Afterward Ir Wallace met such members of the commision as are in the city As to the right of the commission to employ labor for more than eight hours per day there is a belief that the eighl hbur law does not apply to tho canal zone Chief Engineer Wal lace says that it would very serious ly impede work to have the eight hour law in effect during the construc tion of the canal It would be impos sible to make uniform hours for all labor because some labor must le twelve hours while ten hours is the regular rule for most of the working men Must Get Japans Consent WASHINGTON The executive committee of the Panama canal com mission Messrs Shonts Magoon and Wallace decided to draw up detailed specifications to govern in the em ployment of labor on the canal A de cision from Attorney General Moody as to the application of the eight hour day to the work is expected in a few days and will govern that problem in the specifications Permission will have to be obtained from the Japanese government before the 2000 laborers can be secured Watch as Well as Pray Such is the tenor of a note left be hind by some audacious burglars at a house in Ramsey

entered a protest against the board expending the sum of 25 4in supplying a woman 7G years of age with false teeth She said she was not bothering about the price of the teeth but about tho rate payers having to expend that sum or money in providing false teeth for a woman aged 715 Strange Charitable Bequest Many persons who wish to bestow charity have strange ways of carrying out their ideas Some years ago an Englishman named James Moss left 500 to be invested in land the rent of which was to provide five gowns according to tho will of a sad blue color for as many aged and poor men living in the town Bee Farming in Australia Bee farming has become a popular and profitable occupation in many parts of the Australian continent The first hive bees were brought to Aus tralia in 1822 At the

to storm When it clears settled weather may be ex pected This idea has seemingly been utilized in the manufacture of some our cheap barometers The main trouble is they seldom foretell the change until
