M. E. B’AqwIn George M. Bruce JAPS' III Nipponese Plan Asiatic Empire With Themselves as Ruling Power. By FREDERICK WERNER. Special Cable to The American. BERLIN, Aug. 30.—Under the head ing, “Japan's Monroe Doctrine,” the Yokohama correspondent of a Berlin paper has been making some revela tions about the Japanese which have aroused great Interest here, and sure- ' ly will Interest Americans even more. The Japanese, he says, are carefully laying the foundation of a great Asiat ic Empire, a federation of states among which Japan will occupy a position very much similar to that which Prussia occupies within the German Empire, only more predominating. With this purpose in view, Japan is In constant and most vivid commu nication with all other Asiatic na tions. Recently eighteen young Japanese from Honolulu came to Dal Nihon Tinder the guidance of their teacher. They were given a cordial official re ception by the Yokohama Chamber'of Commerce; at Toklo they were re ceived in a private audience and given valuable presents by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Chino-Jan Entente Planned. From India the famous Hindoo priest Darmapala is on his way to Japan to participate In a memorial festival 1 nhonor of the late Mikado in the Shofokutlsi Temple in Tokio. An official Japanese commission has just returned from China, where It has been studying social and economic conditions, and simultaneously a num ber of members of the Japanese Sen ate have been Investigating political conditions In China and making prep arations for a Chino-Japanese entente or alliance. A large number of Japanese men- of-war are stationed along the coast of China and a Japanese General Is studying military conditions In the southern provinces of China. Some six or eight weeks ago a base ball team from the Philipoine Islands was in Japan and a visit by Aguinal- do is expected. In every way the Japanese government Is encouraging friendly relations with Asiatic people, while the hatred against Europeans, and especially Americans, is growing 1 more Intense every day. Japs Jealous of Whites. The Japanese are furiously Jealous of the white nations that have con quered most of the world and dare keep their outposts In the Far East. They feel it as a national calamity that they have so far been unable to build up a world empire and regard every European or American naval station in the Pacific as a deadly in sult. Everywhere it is said: “If we had only money we should soon, sword In hand, drive these white usurpers out of Asia.” The hatred against America sur passes all belief, because of the Jap anese situation In California, and Japansse jingoes are firmly convinced that Japan will declare war against the United States as soon as the Japanese dreadnoughts now In course of construction shall have been fin ished. They are furious that _they are unable to declare war before the opening of the Panama Canal, which will double the strength of the Amer ican navy. At the same time Japan has adopt ed as many anti-foreign laws as it dares at present, and it is made as difficult as possible for foreigners to acquire real estate In the country. Ban on Foreign Vessels. While Japanese vessels have free access to all ports In Great Britain and her colonies, all foreigners who wish to ship goods from one Japa nese port to another must use only Japanese vessels. This Is the begin ning of a Japanese Monroe doctrine. Practically the whole Japanese press Is hostile to the foreigner and engaged in an antl-foreign campaign which is In every possible way en couraged by the Government, al though it Insists that It exerts no in fluence upon the press. Every Japa- ■f nese paper of importance is working for an alliance under the guidance of Jaoan against the white race. \t the same time It can not be said that the Asiatic people who have come under Japanese government have any reason to congratulate themselves. Everywhere In the new provinces the Japanese masters treat the native population as coolies. <i League Formed to Keep Funerals Quiet Talking, Laughing and ‘Cutting Up’ at Obsequies Are Frowned On by Society.

PARIS, Aug. 30.—Talking, laugh-' ing and generally "cutting up” at fu nerals have become so annoying In gome parts of France that a "league of silence at funerals" has been formed at Dijon, under the patronage of the Bishop. This league has been formed, say Its by-laws “In order to encourage as many people as possible to show more respect for the dead.” At Dijon the statutes declare people talk, shout and even laugh during the funeral ceremony. WOMAN, 75, GETS DIPLOMA FOR CLIMBING MOUNTAIN Special Cable to The American. GENEVA, Aug. 30.—The mountain eering club of Baberhauser, in the Harz Mountains, has presented a di ploma to Frau von Hanstein, a 75 year-old woman who last month made her sixtieth ascent of the loft Jest peak of the range, a snow-clad crest 4.UUU feet high. .

It probably will be several months be fore the work can be released for production in America. “Potiphar” is neither an opera, a musical drama nor a pantomime. Dr. Strauss denies that it is a ballet, in the traditional sense. His aim has been to provide a musical setting for a number of stage pictures, in which the sufferings and passion! of the characters are portrayed and ex pressed through the medium of danc ing pantomime. Salome Did Dance When but Child of 11 Americans in Lead As Religious Artists Two Painters From This Side Now Monopolize Field of Biblical Art In Paris. Accurate Study of Ancient Coins Shows She Was Woman of Bewitching Beauty. Special Cable to The American. ROME,'Aug. 30.—Theodore Reinach has made some very Interesting dis coveries as a result of ten years’ con stant study of the coins of Nikopolis, the capital of Little Armenia, whose last King, Aristobulos, was the hus band of the famous Salome, whose dancing cost John the Baptist his head. Reinach, through a new interpreta tion of the coins, has found it possible to clear up unknown particulars •»f the life of Aristobulos and of Salome, and at the same time the sr.vant gives a complete description of the per sonal appearance of the dancing girl. She must have beep of really bewitch ing beauty. Her nose was straight, her forehead high and her bust, com pared with the circumference of her hips, was unusually full and large. An accurate study of the dates of the coins proves that when Salome made her famous dance before her fa ther. Herod, she must have been a child of only about 11 years, but girls of that aee were often wives d_ring the time of Herod and Aristobulos. Special Cable to The American. PARIS. Aug. 30 —As the artists of other countries desert religious sub jects, one of the most effective of the younger painters in Paris is win ning success after success in that field. C. Arnold Slade, of Philadelphia, is sending over for exhibition there and in Boston and Chicago his “His Christ on the Mountain.” His con ception of Christ is new without of fending the traditions. Painters of religious subject! have become so rare in Paris that the Americans have the field practically to themselves. These are Slade, of Philadelphia, and Tanner, of Pitts burg.

By PHILIP EVERETT. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, Aug. 30.—There often have been times when proceedings In the House of Commons have been al most unbearably dull and respectable, but no one can say of the session which ended the other day that it has been lacking In sensations or even in scandals as far as we ever have scandals in this country. At the end of the session, before we had quite forgotten the Marconi mud dle, a new scandal threatened to crop up and w as ohly avoided by the firm attitude of ^Tr. MacKenna. I refer to the so-called Piccadilly flat case, out of w’hich sensation-loving Tory papers tried to make political capital. Insinuating that the immoral flat In question was under government pro tection. Mr. MacKenna’s open answer, de claring that no member of either the government or the House of Commons was Implicated in the affair, put an end to the attempts of the sensa tional press to create another politi- can scandal. Lords Now Under Cloud. Rumors now’ began to circulate that high and noble personages were in volved. to whom the arrested woman had acted as procuress, and imme diately a labor member, Mr. Kelr Har- dle. asked the Minister if he were willing to declare that no names of noble lords had been found among the evidence, a question which the Min ister skillfully avoided answering, leaving, probably very much against his intention, the House of Lords un der a coud of suspicion. That the question will come up again later Is beyond any doubt, es pecially as it is now said that the woman who was convicted of run ning an illegal resort, and w’ho was supposed to be serving her sentence, is walking about freely. In the mean time we are assured that a score of people of our highest aristocracy and among these even a duke, are living in a state of terror and hardly dare look at their morning papers lest they discover that their crimes have been found out. The suffragettes, who a short time ago looked upon the members of the Labor party as their faithful allies and champions, no longer conceal their utter contempt of the Parliamentary representatives of the sons of toil who recently w’ere rompefled to show their true colors and reveal how little their sympathy was worth. Caught in Maternity Benefit. It happened during the debate of a paragraph in the insurance law which grants a maternity benefit of 30 shil lings to poor mothers to help meet the expenses of childbirth. It having beqp shown that in many cases this money had been handed over to the father, who had promptly invested it in alcoholic refreshments, it was sug gested that in the future maternity benefit was to be handed over to the mothers direct. The suggestion caused a panic among the members of the Labor par- 1 ty, w’ho, with one exception, all .de clared against it, and declared feat if the motion was carried out it w-puld ruin the harmony of thousands of homes. Nevertheless, the motion went through by the votes of men who are strong opponents of the wom- ans suffrage movement and the La- bor members and Mrs. Pankhurst’s ternr* erS 8X6 R ° lonfi:er on shaking Special Cable to The American. PARIS, Aug. 30.—Though Parisians are not nearly as addicted to gam bling as our American or English visitors, there were many w’ho felt It as an attack upon their personal freedom when the authorities put a ban on public gambling in or near this city and ordered the Casino at Enghien to be closed this fall. A new gambling resort will, how ever, be opened shortly at Pierrefonda, just outside the prohibition area, and w’hich may bo reached in an hour by train or automobile. It is, I am told, an enterprising Amcrloun W’ho has secured an option on the famous old chateau which will make an ideal gambling palace should the Senate ratify the bill which forbids gam bling at Enghien. , Arranges to Find Spring. Like a true American, the promoter already has arranged for the discov ery of a mineral spring Inside the grounds of the chateau which is the necessary adjunct to all continental gambling resorts not situated by the sea, and which must be there that you may be able to persuade your conscience that you visit the place solely because of your health. If we are able to believe a journal istic statistician, you w’ill soon have to invent another name for this city instead of the time-honored “gay Paree," for the Parisian, he says, no longer is gay. According to his notes we are seen to boat advantage In the Place de l'Opera, for here 68 per cent of us look gay, while 25 per cent only look melancholy and 7 per cent wear no expression whatever. As Place de l’Opera, however, is the favorite hunting grounds of our visitors from abroad, I am quite willing to take a bet that the G8 per cent have been Americans, the 3t> per cent Germans and the 7 per cent Englishmen. Sad Look Is Explained. Worse it is that the statistician states that 50 per cent of those who pass Place de la Concorde look mel ancholy and 75 per cent of those who saunter along the quays of the Seine look as if they were contemplating suicide. Even in this case, however, I am able to offer a plausible explanation, for as the journalist has chosen the summer time to study our facial ex pressions, and as all those of us who are forced to remain here will tout Paris is at the seaside or in the mountains are mad or sad because we can not get away, it Is really not so very surprising that the statistician should come to the conclusion above. If he repeats his experience two month! from now’ h© will get quite a different result Czar Marches as a Soldier Seven Miles COCKATOO,121 YEARS OLD; BEAK GROWS INCH YEARLY Special Cable to The American.

PETERSBURG, Aug. 30.—Un der the title, “A Crowned Private,” interesting particulars are Just pub lished here relating to the march made by the Emperor Nicholas as a fully accoutered private in campaign ing outfit, in order to gain personal experience of the toils and duties of the Russian common soldier.

LONDON, Aug 30—After causing Innumerable men to fall In love with her, and actually marrying sixteen of the more impressionable and richer ones, says The Standard’s St. Peters burg correspondent, a wonderftft woman named Tatiana Betcheriak has Just been exiled for life to Si beria. The woman, who is now more than 40 years of age, retains her remark able beauty to a surprising degree. 8he was married at the age of 16, and lived with her husband for about three years. Becoming a widow, she was soon wedded again to a rlcn landowner and succeeded In compell ing him to spend large sums upon her. When he w r as nearly ruined, she left him, but remembered to taks all his valuables with her. The next “husband” was s. stock broker, v3ho quickly fell captive to the fair Tatiana. Having induced him to transfer all his property to her, the adventurous beauty sold It and es caped abroad with a lieutenant., whom, however, she quickly deserted in or der to wed & fascinated Oriental Con sul. « Caught and Exiled. Seizing all the Consul’s realizable possessions, she left him post-haste and returned to Russia, using a stolen passport. Here she was wooed and won by an important official. Again she left her latest “husband,’’after ab stract 1 ng all pormble valuables, but this time she was caught and exiled to Siberia. It now eeemed as though her career had received an effective check; but the chief Jailer in the Far Eastern wastes soon came under the spell of utiful Tatiana and fled with her to Constantinople. Here, however, the woman chanced to encounter her former “husband,’’ Oriental Consul, and, dreading complications, she sud- - he chief Jailer and re turned to Russia. Finally Fell In Love. For two years she lived peacefully there and enjoyed a considerable pri vate income, having realized excel lently upon her various “husbands’ ** valuables. Also she made a great number o? other eltgtbles temporarily happy by “marrying” them. In this varied path of life she con tinued until her sixteenth victim, a barrister, was wedded to her. Thd union proved peaceful and happy; there was a child. But, at a ball In a small town, she came face to face wdth a formef “husbana,” who, de spite her entreaties, informed the man whom she at length genuinely loved. The latter instituted proceedings, and the police then discovered that the woman was a former convict. FRECKLE-FACE Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots. How to Remove Easily. Here's a chance.
