J. Komura , envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary of hi * majesty llio
emperor of Japan tUo naw Japanese minis
ter to the United States passed through the
city yesterday nftcrnoun on his way to
Washington to asstuno the duties of lilu
position. Ho did not nllght from his train
while In Omaha , but proceeded directly to
Chicago , where hoU1I stop for a couplu at
days before going to the capital of Uncle
Ham's domain. Ho arrlvrd from Japan about
ten days ego'and delayed lu San FraneUco
n few days.
Minister Komura Is a small , thin , wiry ,
nervous , Intelligent and very polite In
dividual. Ho chatted very freely with a Hep
reprcfientatlso and displayed considerable
knowledge of the way things have been run
ning lately In this country. Ho waa par
ticularly Interested In the manner In which
tbo Paris peace commission la progressing
and upon this and other matters frequently
transformed himself from the Interviewed
to the Interviewer. This Interest probably
was the consequence of the minister' ! !
former acquaintance with this country , for
this Is his second visit lo the United States.
Just twenty years ago ho Journey westward
over the continent for Japan , after spending
live years at Harvard university.
"I remember Omahu In 187S , but then as
now I had no opportunity to stop hero , " ho
said. "I can notice , however , that the city
haa grown much larger. I presume that I
will see many changes In the cities that I
knew twenty years ago and the states will
seera like a new country to me. How long
will I stay and when do I expect to go back
to Japan again ? Well , If It were my say I
should like to live In this country all my
life. "
Japan anil Hie PIillliiplueN.
"Japan has always been the supporter of
the United States during the war with
Spain , " answered the minister In response
to < i query regarding hla government's atti
tude toward the United States' demand for
the Philippines. "It now Is In thorough
sympathy with the United States In Its con
tention for .tho Philippine Islands. As .1
matter of fact It will not affect Japan to
have any country In control of the Islands
as long aa the porta are open. There are
very few Japanese residing on them , the
principal portion consisting of about sixty
merchants who do engage In business there.
Consequently Japan has little Interest , such
as might result were It called upon to give
protection to any great number of Its pco-
' pie.
pie."Prom
"Prom a commercial print of view , how
ever , Japan Is vitally Interested In the own
ership of the Islands. Every year Ita trade
with the Philippines has Increa&cd until It
has bccomo of very respectable proportions.
Naturally my government Is Interested In
seeing that this trade shall continue and
as It firmly 'believes ' that .the ports of the
Island will bo freely opened to Japanese
ships If the United States governed them
It would rather see this country gain con
trol of the islands -than any other.
"Japan , also , was not averse to tbo action
of the United States In annexing Hawaii.
'
There are a large'number of Japanese resi
dents on tills Island , but the government of
Japan feels that they will receive the rights
of citizenship aa much aa anyone else
should they choose to live under the stars
and strlpej. As In the case of the Philip
pines , my country believes that it will enjoy
aa many trading rights In the .Island as
heretofore. "
Policy Tuwnnltt China.
While Japan Is watching with Interest
the spectacle China Is presenting as a bone
of contention for European powers , the gov-
prnment does not seem to feel alarmed that
the Chinese empire la In Immediate danger
of dismemberment. Minister Komura gave
some Idea of Japan's policy In connection
with this eastern situation In the following
words : "Japan has but one wish for the
future of the Chinese empire that It may
remain intact and Independent. It naturally
takes this position from the fact that It bat
a strong commercial foothold In that coun
try aud wishes to retain it as exclusively
pa possible. It would not be so successful
In a business way should the country pass
into tbo hands of European nations. And
H Is but right that Japan should have the
biggest share of the business , for It hat
done more than any other country , owing
possibly to 1U proximity , to start China on
the path toward civilization.
"And I do not look -for any dismember *
mont of China In the near future. Ol
course , thcro are all sorts of talk to the ef
fect that the European nations are divid
ing the country between themselves. Bui
I bellovo with the statesmen of my country
that the powers will riot , for a long time at
least , succeed In settling upon a partition
that will bo satisfactory to them. Then , too ,
most of the continental powers arc continu
ally having too many llttlo matters be
tween themselves to settle. Thus , while
llussla may b .encroaching hero and .Eng
land there and others may be taking a ham !

"Hut If the time should ever come when

for my country to pursue. Kltlier It must

do I think It will pursue the latter course. "
Minister Komura talked entertainingly of
thu marvelous 'progress his country has
niado during the last score of years In every
way. Ho was emphatic In elating thai
this progress Is very largely due to the ex-
nmplo set by this country and to the Ameri
cans who have employed their energy and
capital In developing the resources of the

TEST FOR TORPEDO BOATS

PHILADELPHIA , Nov. 1C. Upon recom
mendation of Captain A. S. Crowulnshleld ,
chief of the bureau of navigation of the
Navy department , a course over which to
speed torpedo boat a built on the Atlantic
coast has been selected on the Delaware
river , Just below the mouth of Christiana
creek , near Wilmington , Del , The course
upon which the speed tests arc to be mad *
Is a mlle long and was chosen by Captain
Crownlnshlcld after Its selection had been
urged by Commodore Casey and Captain
Cottrcll of the Massassolt.
As the government proposes to have
numerous torpedo boats built , many lests
of speed may bo looked for In the near fu
ture. The Mackenzie , just completed , at
the Hlllman shipyard , In this city , will be
the first vessel to be speeded over the new
course , and the test will probably bo made
In two weeks. .

HEARD ABOUT TOWN.
Chief Blackbird of the Omahas and Wtnne-
bagocs Is a full-blooded Indian and he Is
spending a few days In the city attending
United States court , having been called as a
witness before the grand Jury. He was one
ono of the prominent Indians here at the
exposition and paraded before < the grand
stand , painted and .feathered , upon the oc
casion of every one of the ah am battles. He
has an eye to business and Bays that it
there is an exposition next season he will
make some money on his own account. Hla
plan is to have an Indian enow of his .own.
Speaking of the scheme he eald : "I cat ,
secure seventy-five of my own Indians , pui
them in a lot , surrounded by. a high board
fence and 'there ' I , can put on all of the
dances known to the different tribes of the
country. I can charge a email admission
fco and before the end of. the season I can
clean up several hundred dollars.
"Last summer it was apparent that tht
people , especially those from the east ,
wanted to see Indians , " added Chief Black
bird , "and the more aboriginal they were
the better the people seemed to like It. Non
if I can put in fifty or seventy-five Indiana ,
clad in the clothing provided by Pathei
Adam and Mother Eve , I can make a great
hit. Of course I would expect to give an
Imitation of war dances , but It would be the
fancy dances 'that would be the winners.
This was illustrated on .the . Midway , when
people crowded around to see the dances
tbat were tabooed by some of the toe
asthetlc men and women. " *

CERTAIN OF THUGS' ' CAPTURE
Detectives Return from a Ghase on False
Scent After Qeppner and Haller.
THANKS MR , CHURCHILL FOR HIS RIG
One of flic Men Aililrrnnc * Him an
Apologetic Letter SnylitK He
Wnn Forced to Take tlic
Hoyal Ueppncr and George Van llallcr ,
the desperadoes who fought a pistol battlj
with Captain Cox and four detectives who
attempted to arrest them Monday noon , arc
still at large , but the police nro confident
that the fugitives mo almost within the
grasp of the law and that to capture them
Is a matter of only a few days.
Cluea were discovered yesterday afternoon
which established with certainty the fact
that Ocppncr and Van Halter after leaving
riattsmouth traveled In a different direc
tion than was supposed by the detectives
following them , and Acting Chief of Pollco
Donahue , working in conjunction with
sheriffs along the route the men took , was
able to learn of their movements up until
yesterday noon. It Is now known positively
that the fugitives , after abandoning A. C.
Churchill's phaeton at Platte , walked to the
outskirts of Plattsmouth and thcro climbed
aboard an costbound freight train on the
Burlington railroad. It Is thought that
Geppner and Van Hallervero afraid to
travel farther east than Red Oak , la. , tor
when the freight train arrived in that city
they left It and , walking to the Washington
*
ton hotel In the central part of the town ,
-they - registered there and retired to a room
to rest. On the hotel register Geppaer
signed the name R. H. Askwlth and Van
Haller registered as F. O. Fell. This was
about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning' and when
the men went to their room they asked to bo
called at 7 o'clock.
After being waked at the hour appointed
both men appeared In the ihotcl office and
passed the morning writing letters. They
did not go outsldo until nearly noon , when
they paid their bill and departed , one going
to the postofflce to mall the letters and the
other walking In the direction of the depot.
This waa the last time they were seen.
Sheriff Rhodes of Fremont county was the
man who discovered that Geppner and Van
Haller had been In Red Oak nearly twelve
hours , and learned how they had passed their
time.
Thanka Churchill for Him Rig.
One of the letters ) written by Oeppner at
Red Oak was addressed to A. C. Churchill
and was received by Mr. Churchill yester
day morning. In It Qeppner explained how
ho came to take the 'horse ' and phaeton , say
ing that he was forced to do so by circum
stances over which he had no control. He
* also expressed his thanks for the use of the
vehicle.
Captain Cox and Detective Dempsey re *
turned last night at 7 o'clock from Weeping
Water , Neb. Geppner has relatives there
and it was thought , that he and bis com
panion might apply to them for aid , but the
officers learned with certainty that the fugi
tives had not been thcro and were not In
tbe'slate. One result of Captain Cox's trip
to Weeping Water was the discovery that
not very long ago Geppner had made two un
successful attempts to blow open the post-
office safe there. On the night of August 30
I the first attempt waa made , but It resulted.
' In failure. Two weeks later a second at
tempt was made , but It also proved unsuc
cessful , Geppner either having been fright
ened away before the job was finished or
else It was too much of a task .for biro. This
information waa secured from some of
Geppner's former pals.
The police say that the men cannot pos
sibly escape. They do not now think the men
have gone -to St. Louis , as was supposed , for
the reason that Geppner has committed
many crimes there and feara arrest if be
should bo eeen by the St. Louis police.
It was reported At the police station this
morning about 2 o'clock tbat Geppner and
Van Haller bad been seen shortly after mid
night at the houao where the two men lived ,
710 North Fourteenth street Sergeant Her ,
Detective Whalen and other offlcersjrame-
dlately went to the premises to make an In-
! vcstigatlon , but after conducting & thorough
' search and finding no traces of the men they
returned convinced that the report was a
hoax.
MAY INVESTIGATE ] PENITENTIARY.
Federal Authorities to Inqnlro Into
the Erie County Institution.
A thorough investigation of the inner and
secret life of the convicts of the Erie county
penitentiary , Buffalo , N. Y. . will be made
soon by the federal authorities. It will bo
to determine whether tbo convicts are mak
ing and uttering counterfeit money beneath
I the noses of their keepers. The letter'found
among the effects of Royal Geppner from
"Monte Bill" Edwards , a convict In the Erie
county penitentiary , is the Information that
will cause the investigation. This letter
will be sent to his chiefs at Washington by
United States Secret Service Agent Donella.
This letter was published in full in The BPO
Tuesday morning. It was written in nym-
patbetlc Ink between the lines of a letter
ent as a blind to Geppner. The writer
! quotes the price of three grades of both
paper money and metal money which the
convicts were making , the work of one
man , "Jim , " being the test. It refers to
Geppner as being a nervy man just the man
to handle the stuff-.The "twenty-year boys. "
probably meaning the convicts under
twenty-year sentences , are given as the ones
who are doing the work. The writer speaks
of the fact that ho has twenty-six months
yet ito serve and that when he Is granted hU
liberty that bo Intended to enter Into
partnership with Geppner. If he Is caught
young Geppner besides answering to the
police for his shortcomings will probably
have to explain to the federal authorities
his connection with "Monte Bill" Edwards ,
the convict counterfeiter.

The crying need of women on farms Is

SOD 1II OMAHA NEWS.
An adjourned meeting of the Board of
Education was held last night for the pur
pose of settling with McDonald & Bock for
the construction of the Lincoln school build
ing. There was an evident deslro on the
part of certain democratic members to stick
the contractors for $10"a day for falluro to
complete the work according to the tlmo
specified In the contract , while on the other
hand the republican members present were
opposed to any radical action In this re
spect. 0
After a roporttfromArchitect Davis which
'
showed that tho'board should bo allowed cer
tain puma for material not used , etc. , Bren-
iian brought up the $10 a day matter ; and
at the suggestion pf ono of the members
a recess was declared in order to glvo the
building and grounds committee an oppor
tunity of conferring with the architect and
the contractors. This committee brought in
a report recommending' that ? 120 be de
ducted from iho final estimate for material
not used on account of . change of plans
and $200 bo deducted for failure io complete
the building In question at the time specified
In the contract. This made a total of $320.
As no ono appeared willing to second the
adoption of the report the matter was , after
considerable discussion , laid over until the
regular tneotlng , when It is expected that
all of the members wlfl be present.
Ed Munshaw was In with a proposition to
lease the lots owned by ithe school district
on Twenty-seventh street Just cast of th
Union Pacific depot. Ho offered $10 per
month per lot. This question was debated
at considerable length. President Robert1
held that the sum offered was too small. Ho
thought that much more couM bo obtained
In case 'the ' board decided to enter into a
lease. Attorney Nolan was instructed to
draft a lease with the amount of the rental
left blank and the matter will come up
again when the papers are prepared.
Member Breunan reported having had a
hard itltno chocking up the coal bills ren
dered by Peter Lenagh. It was asserted
that the coal ! delivered to the school build
ings had not all been weighed over the city
scales as the contract called for. Further
than 'this , eomo of 'the ' Janitors reported
that mine run coal instead of lump had
been delivered. President Roberts wanted
to know if such action on the part of the
contractor would not warrant the board iu
annullng Iho contract. Attorney Nolan
stated In reply to the question that if the
kind of coal specified had not been deliv
ered it should bo refused by the Janitors ,
and it Is likely that instructions to this
effect will be Issued. All coal accepted from
this > tlme on win have to have the certificate
of the city welghmaster or it will bo re
fused. On account of the inability of Mr.
Brcnnan to untangle the , ( snarls In connec
tion with the ; clnlm of Mr. Lenagh without
some further information from tbo Janitors
the bill was sent back to the finance com
mittee.
No school will' be held on Thanksgiving
day or the day following.
Charter IlevUlon Committee.
The charter revision committee 'appointed
by Mayor Ens'or. 19 apparently satisfactory to
all concernedjiiThe mayor named five demo
crats and four republicans , and every mem
ber of the committee has had more or less
experience In municipal' affairs. It is thought
that possibly the committee may hold an in
formal meeting during the week with a view
to mapping out a method of procedure. In
case this is not done aa organization will
bo effected next Tuesday night , which is the
date set for the first meeting of the commit
tee. As Hon. James H. Van Duscn has been
placed upon the committee It Is expected
that be will take the matter In hand .to a
great extent and see to the drafting of the
necessary bill after the different sections
have been agreed to by the mayor , council'
and committee. It'is possible that the Joint
committee may see fit to send a representa
tive to Lincoln In the Interest of the pro
posed new charter and this Idea is looked
upon with favor by many taxpayers.
HOIINC NunibcrM Are Needed.
Uncle Saul'sletter carriers In'thls city are
still handicapped by the lack of numbers on ,
houses. The work in the suburbs Is held
back lu a great measure by the larga num
ber of now houses erected recently upon
which no numbers have been placed. Since
Postmaster McMillan sent a letter to the
council asking that all the houses to num
bered in order to facilitate the delivery of
mails quite a number of Third warders have
placed the proper numbers upon their resi
dences , but many In other parts of the city
have neglected to follow the example. On
account of the largo number of new families
taking up their residence In the city It
makes it difficult for the mall carriers to
cover their routes properly In the time al
lowed by the rules of the department. It Is
stated that the renumbering of the houses'
throughout the city would greatly assist in
the prompt delivery of the malls.

George Wolfe and Miss Maggie McMann

Facts from Examining Surgeons' Report.
Tlic first ailment looked for by the examining officers is heart trouble ; for
they say , no matter how strong otherwise a man may be , if his heart is weak or dis
eased he is utterly useless as a soldier. Any over-exertion , strain or excitement is
liable to bring on a sudden attack of heart failure which would kill him
more surely than the enemies' bullets. 33 out of 70 applicants at Brooklyn
Navy Yard were rejected and 44 out of 193 soldiers at Camp Black were
lent home because of weak or defective hearts , The surgeons say
that one person in every four has a weak heart.
That 08 per cent , of these men did not know they had weak hearts
is not surprising , for few persons know the symptoms of heart dis
ease. Shortness of breath , fluttering or palpitation , irregular or
Intermittent pulse , choking sensation , nightmare , smothering
or fainting spells , swelling of feet and ankles , weak or hungry
spells all point with unerring certainty to a debilitated heart.
The one great remedy for diseased hearts is Dr. Miles' New
