Y., saying he was goin g weat.Hia par- ent: ray that the young fellow was of an adventurous disposition and frequently stated his inclination to ioin the navy. He was a frequent visitor to the war vessels In the navy yard here and look a deep inter- eet in battleships and cruiacre of other no- lione which visited this port.

He was murdered by boatrnen. Frank Epps was killed at Nagasaki during the present month. He had been on leave and was returning aboard ship when murdered. The testimony gathered shows that some sailors on a passing ship, hearing cries for help, looked over the water in time to see him being thrown from the bot. Lack- ing a small boat they could not euccor him. His body was found several days later oating in the bay. The Japanese government was appealed to in each case, and while some arrests have been made the American contingent in Japan feel that the perpetrators of the murders are still at large. It is said that every Japa- nese boat in the harbor is obliged to regis- ter its passengers before carrying them oil" shore. so that under ordinary conditions it would be easy to nd the guilty parties. Ar. Mm Jnnnnnln location it was stated wnuld be to nnu tne guilty parties. At the Japanese legation it that the matter had not yet been brought to their attention. The legation officials do not regard the matter as serious. They say the Japanese government undoubtedly make the fullest inquiry and reparation, It is pointed out, however, that crimes of a local and individual character can as sume an international aspect, as the gov- ernment is in no way connected with them. Its only province is to see that the laws are executed impartially. giving the same protection to loreiguers as to Japanese subjects. In tho -H`.-av at. Kobe.

The mixture ol beeswax and turpentine being an inam- able combination, it ignited, and the uid. running over the oor, the ames caught on the lurniture and light material. Soon the interior of the kitchen was one mass of ames, throwing out a heat too intense to approach. The doors were closed to cut off any draft and to confine the re to that room as lone as possible. In the mean- time superintendent `Third was notied, and ordered the supply of canvas ho-e in the Doran wing to be attached to the hydrant, fully confident that the fire. could be subdued in short order. and be- , fore much damage could be done. But the hvdrant was opened alas! when no water would ow, as frost had penetrated the iron. and ice Cllolled the passage. Some little delay occured before the alarm was sent to the re stations, which was done by telephone message. The delay however. meant very little. as the brigade had only returned reached the station The reman made a speedy run out,and they were handicapped as well by the frozen hydrant. By that time the (ire had a good half hour's start, and the roof of the Watkins wing was enveloped in ames. Water was heated in the Doran wing, and the ice in the hy- drant melted, allowing the water to ow. Streams were run from that hydrant, on the corner of George and Stewart streets. and from the one located at the corner of ilarrie street. Water was played freely on the imee in the Watkins wing.an_d the eastern gable end of the main build- ing, where St George's kitchen is located. To these two sections the {lanes were con- fined by the energetic efforts of the fire fighters. but the destruction was severe enough.
