THE DISASTER ON THE "MIKASA""

OF THE FIRM..

It appears that the battleship Mikasa with Admiral Togo on board, arrived at Basho on Sunday morning, roth September, when half the crew were given shore leave, the Japan Chronich says. Everything seems to have been perfectly quiet during the day, but shortly after midnight an alarm of fire was given, and an investigation being made it was found that smoke was

All the men who were on duty at this part of the ship have been killed, so that it will be very difficult to ascertain what was the actual origin of the fire. The crew were at unce got to work to extinguish the flames, but all efforts were baffled, as it seems that its place of origin could not be discovered. The other ships were signalled that a fire bad broken out on the Reg: ship, and they at once sent detachments of mes to assist in fighting the flames and assist ance was also sent from show refilled with the male and between decks were filled with smoke, and those who came on board naturally found it as difficult as those on board to

IMPERIAL DECKER ORDENING STUDENTS ABROAD.

Imperial Decree, 3rd, of 8th moon (Sept. 1): -Decrees have been issued ordering studenta from the provinces to be sent abroad for foreign education. The Vicemys and Governors of the provinces have done accordingly. All the students sent abroad are t take up scientific pursuits and different branches of study with the object that they shall become useful. In way shall they have such an idea in their what is easy. Did they do so, they would obtain no more than a false name. The students must ambitiously take up the various branches of study and must exert themselves. After finishing their courses and coming back to their home country, they shall be examined in the subjects they have studied and put in Government employment according to their ability and profession.

Many rumours are in circulation with regard to the origin of this fire, due, probably, to the generally excited state of the public mind at the present time. And to the fact that no news of the accident "was allowed to leak out for more than twenty-four hours after it had occurred. The reticence shown by the authori ties on such occasions, as we have previously remarked, rather increases than allays excite ment.

NEW HEMP" STRIPPER..

BIG ORDER FOR BANGKONO.

Through the inventive genius of Father Ma- teo Atienza, member of the Franciscan order of friars, at Manila, a great revolution is pro- mised in the stripping of hemp fibre. He has invented a mechanical device about 15 inches wide which consists only of a small roller, a toothed or serrated knife which falls upon the roller, and opens by pressure of the foot of the, operator on a board, and closes on the roller by release of the foot, pressure of the knife on the roller being enforced by two 18-pound weights. Three seconds is all that is required to trans form green hemp into a perfect fibre, which, it is claimed, will.command the highest prica in the markets of the world. A few days ago a practical test was made, comparing the old style machine now in general use, and the machine Lavented by Father Allenza. For this purpose 3,350 pound of green hemp was placed in front
