Things
if they are little wrongs, lead to
a large wrongness: Backachc is
a little thing—not a very serious '
thing, in itself. It is often over-
' looked because it is so slight—
it may come day after day and
not be bad enough to cause any
anxiety. The smallest kind of
: a Backaghe means coming ill-
_ ness—probably Kidney trouble.
Baker’s Kidney Plilsx
will cure a Backache—cure it so
it will stay cured. These pills
~ cure - the ache by removing the
cause—Kidney trouble. They
are a specific for Kidney trouble
in the early stages—they’ll make
an old back new again. Drug-
gists sell them for 50 cents. A

Adding Vessels to Her Navy and Drilling
Her Troops Constantly, Japan Will
Be No M'can Competitor—How
a War \Vould Affect Us.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.———“Holland,” the
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press,
sends the following to his paper:
Secretary Lamont, who has spent a few
(lays with President Cleveland, has more
important things to discuss with the pres-
ident than the run of fish or other vacation
pleasures. It is through the secretary’s
department that very important news has
just been received from Japan. The Amer-
ican minister at Japan and the represent-
ative of the war department, Captain
Ryan, who is specially charged with the
duty of observing the situation in Japan,
have been urged to report to the govern-A .
ment as fully and accurately as possible
upon the condition of public feeling in
that country, sand the probability that it
will again take the ficld,_or rather the sea,
in war. . '
Whether any dispatches » have come to
the state department or not it is impossi-
ble to say, but information was brought
here today by one who is in a position to
know which indicates that news of the
highest consequence has recently been re-
ceived from Captain Ryan. This informa-
tion. it may be said. is given by one who
is in close relations to the war depart-
ment, although of course it is not wise to
mention his name in connection with this
information. :
Japan Preparing For Trouble.
He‘said: “ Our government has received
information that Japan is as rapidly as
possible making ready to enter into a war
with Russia. Her armies are being drilled
and strengthened. She is buying or pro-
curing large quantities of ammunition.
While she has not bought the Peruvian
warships, she is in negotiation with that
country and will probably be“ able to add.
these vessels to the Esmeralda, which she
bought from Chile. The war spirit pre-
vails everywhere, and even if the ministry
did not share it, it would probably be com-
pelled to yield to it. ”
So much as this my informant was will-
ing to make known, although he intimat-
ed that there wcre other and even more
important details which had come to the
knowledge of the war department, mainly
through dispatches from Captain Ryan,
which it would be a breach of honor to
make public.
While this information was not the sub-
ject discussed at the recent rather sudden
meeting of the cabinet, still it was inform-
ally laid before ,thc members who were
then in Washington, and it is fair to pre-
sume that the dispatches sir the substance
of thcm were taken to Gray Gables by Sec-
retary Lamont for the president’s consid-
eration. My informant says that in the
war department those who are familiar
with the facts now feel assured that as
soon as Japan can get ready it will be pre-
' pared to declare hostilities against Russia
or to do some act which will provoke hos-
tilities. It is also the opinion that the
war, if there be one, must necessarily be
for the most part a naval conflict. -
Our Government's Position.
Our own government, it was said, is in-
tensely interested in this news, for if there
be war the United States will have some
very delicate and important subjects to
consider, arising out of the relations of
both Japan and Russia to this country and
especially the question of the commerce of
the Pacific. It was also the impression of
my informant that our representatives
abroad had informed the government that
both Englandand France regard an out-
break between Japan and Russia as ex-
tremely probable, and that there are some
reasons for believing that Japan is con-
vinced that it will have more of a friend
than a neutral in Great Britain in .case
the war occurs. That, however, is merely
an inference of this ofiiccr, although it is
worth reporting because of his relations to
the government. This information was
conununicatod to a. few men in the city
today who by reason of their present or
past relations to the government were
thought likely to be especially interested
in it. It of course conflicts with the re-
portcd interview with the Japanese min-
ister in Washington, although it is hard to
see how the minister could have made
any other statement for publication even
if he had accurate information of the pur- 7
pose of his government. to enter into War
with Russia.

Thoroughq‘Examination of the Sentinel Edition ’ ~
of BritanniCa.
We submit here Dr. Funning’s first letter to THE SENTIN EL, which is as fellows :,
SOUTH NORWALK, CONN., June 17., 1895.
Edzz‘or Evemhg Sarzllnel:—I have examined this new edition of this most complete
and exhaustive of all Encyclopedias, and regard it as new superior to all others in cheapness
and. excellence. 'The new addition on American subjects thoroughly supplement this
original edition. . ' Rev. Homer N. Dunning, D, D.
* After this letter was written for the Sentinel the value of this edition of Britannica
was quest10ned by published opinions. The Sentinel then supplied Dr. Dunning with a
ccmplete set of‘our books. He has spent some time in making a thorough examination of
the set, .and we now submit the following letter from him, which is a frank expression of his
'05: a damaging nature should be said in the future of the Sentinel editionof Britannica it
should be locked upon with suspicion.
- Editor Sentinel .'—At your request I have made a fuller and more careful examina-
tion of. this edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, andl am confirmed in my former
impressmns of its qualities. I have used the eighth and ninth editions of the original for
thtrty years and of its excellence there is no question, and whatever deficiences exist between
Ith1s edition and the British edition seem to me to be well supplied by the American addiu
tions, many of which are written lay men of llzefirsl authority 2'11 their several departments. I
will add that a shadow of prejudice against this edition, which had been cast by some crit-
cisms I have read, has been removed by a closer examination. Anyone who acquires this
great work which you are offering to your readers will find it an inexhaustible treasury cf
knowledge. '
South Norwalk, July 8, 1895. Homer N. Dunning
After receiving the above the Sentinel, for its own satisfaction, asked Dr. Dunning
the following questions: :
“ Do you now consider this edition of Britannica of as much value as th‘.
Ninth Edition? He replied, “ I do; and I’ve practically said S) in this letter.”
“ Do you consider a condensed encyclopedia, in any form, of more value than this
new edition of Britannica to a family who owns but few 1) wits and who are unwilling or
unable to buy books on all topics?” ' a
In reply to this Dr. Dunning said : “ You may say that, in my opinion, the great ma-
jority of people would undoubtedly find the Encyclopedia Britannica by far the most valu-
able investment, especially if the condensed work was to cost an equal amount of money.” ‘
