‘1‘ s Vii ‘ CHINA AND JAPAN. MINI the Ten: Countries Seem 3 Inevitable. - i71301130191, July 83.-—A dispa h from Shanghai says that war botwee‘fi China and Japan is considered certain. __ At the Chinese legation here it was Mthat no news of a declaration oi war had been received. It was added that II the rumor was true the first report of it would come from Japan and not irom ' mm information received at the . Wan ‘lwaa to the effect that 10,000 Chl- I.neaetroops had started for Korea. Ja-y 'pan had injected the proposals made by , gtheBritlsh minister, although the latter ‘ had counseled a peaceful settlement of the dispute. The Chinese government had , thereupon declared that unless the Jap- hnd‘Ohemulpo. China bald break off no- . . Nations. The officials, when further ‘ questioned. said they discredited the ru- ‘ no: that war had been declared. A telegram from Yokohama states that the acceptance * by Karen of the reforms ‘ proposed by Japan is conditional upon the withdrawal of the Japanese troops from Korea. The Japanese government was surprised at this firm stand, which is supposed to prove that Chinese influence ll paramount in Korea. In the direct ne- gotiations between Tokio and Peking Chi- na has so'far ignored the Japanese coun- ter proposals. SHANGHAI. July till—China continues to make preparations to assert her claimed rights in Korea, and from the present in- dications it is judged that war is inevita- ble unless Japan recedes from the position she has hitherto maintained. Orders were recently issued for 12,000 7 . Chinese troops to prepare for departure to Korea. The preparations were hurriedly completed, and on Friday last the soldiers ‘went on board the transports that will convey them to the peninsula. To guard against contingencies the transports were conveyed by eight gunboats. the com— manders of which were instructed to fire upon the Japanese should the latter at— tempt to obstruct the landing at the Chi- nose. Warlike preparations are also being made in other directions. A strong body of troops will shortly leave Foo Chow for the Loo-Chou islands. it is the govern- ment’s intention to employ the Nankin and Canton floats in harassing the Japa- nese coast if actual hostilities are com. silenced.

To get married seems an easy thing to the young man whose fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. But when it comes to the actual ceremony there are a thou» sand and one terrors which surround and threaten to overcome him. Marriage in some states is easy. In others it is as dif- iieult as obtaining a divorce. A well known Philadelphian was about to be married to a beautiful young woman who lived in the state of Delaware. He had no idea that the marriage laws of that state were of an appalling nature. He had wcurcd his license, and thought that was all that was necessary. “Have you filed your bond yet?" said some one to him the day before the wed- 3. “What?” gasped be. “Your bond,” repeated the questioner. “You know every man who is married in this state has to file a bond for the protec- tion of the state.” The bridegroom was rather dubious, but was finally persuaded that this was a fact. “I’ll see a lawyer about it in the morn. ing," said be. So he went to a friend who was a legal light and said: "See here. They tell me I have to give a bond to the state when I get married.” “Certainly. Haven’t you done so?” in a surprised way. “No. I never heard of such a thing bcv fore. What kind of bond is it?" "Oh, any real estate will do. ” “But I haven’t any real estate.” The lawyer looked at him a moment. Then he solemnly said: “Haven‘t you any friends who own property?” “None that I care to ask to bind it up that way. I can’t ask my bride's relatives, you know.” His friend looked at him pityingly. “You can’t postpone the wedding, can on?" “What?" fairly shrlckcd the unfortu- note. “Of course not, of course not," said the legal light soothingly. But the poor bride— groom looked stricken. - “I’ll tell you what I'll do, old man. I'll tend to the matter for you. Don't give yourself any more concern aliout it.” The young man about to be married then grasped his hand. lio could not speak for a moment, and then he poured forth his thanks. llc picked up his hat in a re- lieved sort of way and walked to the door. Then he turned. “By the way, I forgot to ask you how large is the amount of the bond required?" “Fifty cents, " sold the lawyen—Ncw York lli'CUl‘ili'i‘. liver the \"irc. “Those lolournph win-5 are convenient things, are they not?"
