*THE RUSSINS AT FUSAN”

A sensational telegram is published by the Asahi Shimbun about the conduct of certain Russians at Fusan. The details appear to us to be obviously unworthy of credence. It is stated that some Russian officers entered a Japanese restaurant called Keihan-hei, and behaved in such a turbulent and improper manner that the inmates were obliged to call the police, who removed the offender to the station. Ultimately, however, the Russians effected their escape and returned to theh ship leaving three anicles of apparel in the hands of the police. A complaint was at once preferred by Mr. Och student secretary of the Japanese Consulate. That night an officer, with a party of eight armed länded from the Russian ship, and

SHINTO WORSHIPPERS AND

TREATY REVISION.

The principal office of the Shinto creed in Tokyo, namely, the fingulye-in of Yurakucho, has resolved to organise a festival on the 4th of August in celebration of Treaty Revision, and it has been decided that at the Shrines of Ise also a similar step will be taken at a suitable time. Mr. Fujioka, the chief prelate of Shinto, has issued "the following Injunction --

SUSPECTED PLAGUE ON THE "NIPPON MARU,”

The Nippon. Maru, says a San Francisco paper, was unfortunate enough to have three suspicious deaths on board during her fast royage to America. Dr. Baboto, a bacteriologist at that port, found bacilli of plague, and the Nippon Mart was quarantined. On June 28 the bodies of two Japanese sailors of the Nippon Maru were found in the bay and towed to a point off shore by fishermen, who were afraid to touch the bodies more than was

necessary to attach a rope to them for towing purposes. Tho corner was notified and the bodies were takta, to the morgue, where every precaution was taken to prevent any spread of the disease should the men have carried germs with them. It is believed the men were afraid to stay on the steamer, and after attaching life preservers to their badies jumped overboard and were drowned. On the trip of the Nippon Maru from Honolulu a young Japanese girl died of some mysterious disease and was buried at sea an hour after death. Apoplexy was given as the cause of her death, but the affiction seldom seizes one so young.
