State Department Denies. A strong denial is entered at the State ‘Department of the published story that the ynited States has or will enter into a ty with European powers to forcibly Occupy and keep cpen the treaty ports in China. It ts also denied that any overtures to that end have come to us from other counties. When the conditions were such = War was only threatened the United tes did yse its good offices to avert the @vil. It did so to carry out a solemn obliga- tion imposed upon us by the treaty with Corea, whereby we bound ourselves to pro- tect Corea in the following terms: “If other Powers deal unjustly or oppressively with @ither government, the other will exert their good offices, on being informed of the ase, to bring about an amicable arrange- ment, thus showing their friendly feelings.” This obligation was entered into in 1 and it was under its terms that the Pres- fident indicated to Japan that he would be ed should she inflict an unjust war m Corea. That was as far as the United Btates could go in the exercise of our good Offices, «nd, besides, the shifting of the war ¢loud from Corea to China, as a party, re- Neved us of the necessity for further action, licy of the United States. It is said at the State Department that the attitude of the United States toward the belligerents in the present war will be pat- terned upon our course at Rio. We will side with neither China nor Japan, but as was indicated by Mr. Bayard, our ambassa- @or to Great Britain, who is fully aware of what is going on, the attitude of the United States will be one of “benevolent neutral- ity.” This is in keeping with our traditions and its prudence and safety has been amply demonstrated in the past. As far as cur own commerce Is concerned, we will accord it such measure of protection and immunity from interference as may be justly claimed as our rights, but the present disp mat the State Department is to do inis iudi- vidually and not in concert with F n Rations. In ether words, while we may act 3 do other powers upon this point, we will Not be a party to any joint treaty or com- bination the object of which is forcible in- terference in China or Japan. Doubtless it will develop that in many points we may ect in accord with other commerc!: but as it remained for us at Rio adopt @ bold and radical course single hand it may be in China or Japan that we act independently upon a certain condition of affairs. At present we are scarcely in a nosition to make mech of a naval demonstration in Asiatic waters. The entire United States fleet there now consists of two vessels, the Baltimore and the } jocacy. About a week @go orders were sent to Bering sea to have the Concord and the Petrel sent over to fen the station, and that is all that has mM done in that direction so far. Secre- tary Herbert before leaving Washinton for Alabama last night said that he had given no further orders for reinforcements, «nd Acting Secretary McAdoo has not moved im the ma:ter today. Japan's Formal Declaration. The Japanese legation has received a tele- gram announcing that on August 1 an im- perial rescript was issued by the Emperor — formally announcing that war had n declared against China. Mr. Miyoaka, the Japanese charge, probably will com- munteate this formal declaration of war to Secretary Gresham today. The News Confirmed. The Japanese legation received a tele gram today which fully confirms yester- Gay's telegram with reference to the de- feat of the Chinese forces in Corea, and shows that the engagement referred to was the same as that at Asan, or Yashan,which telegrams from Shanghai and Tien Tsin cribed as a Chinese victory,and in which it was reported that 2,000 Japanese soldiers had been killed. The telegram contains the substance of @n o‘icial bulletin from Gen. Oshima, com- Manding the Japanese forces in Corea. At 3 am. on the 20th of July the Japanese advanced on the Chinese entrenchments @t Shan Yong, and after several hours’ severe fighting won a decisive victory. The Chinese entrenchments were captured and the whole force of about 3,40 men was put rout, with a loss of over 5U) Killed and wounded. The Japanese loss was five officers and seventy men killed and wounded. The en- tire camp equippage of the Chinese, a great Qvantity of arms and munitions of war, in- Guding four cannon and many flags, were ceptvred. The Chinese troops, the dispatch Ssys, fied in complete discrder, with the intention, Gen. Oshima thought, of endeav- Oring to escape by means of Corean boats at Gunsan. The Japanese were in pursult when the report was forwarded. General Oshima took possession of the Chinese headquar- ters at Gasan or Yashan. Presbyterian Church’s Representation Acting under instructions from the execu- tive committee of the board of foreign mis- sions of the Southern Presbyterian Chureh, the Rev. Dr. J. W. Bachman, its representa- tive here, has called on Secretary Gresham and the Japanese charge d'affaires to ask that measures be taken to protect the mis- Bionaries of the church In the east. Sec- Yetary Gresham told Mr. Bachman that he @id not think there was any immediate dan- r to the missionaries, but that they would protected. At the Japanese legation tha Feverend gentleman Inquire] into the status of the missionaries, and was assured that they were perfectly safe in Japan. The Southern Presbyterian Church has Jess than a dozen missionaries In Corea, and hese, it is believed, can be accommodated on beard a United States man-of-war should their lives be endangered. In China there are about fifty, some few of whom are im the Northern province, and it is regard- ing these that the board feels some concern. They probably will be ordered to Shanghat. ——— STANFORD ESTATE CLAIM. Plans Propesed to Bring the Govern- ment's Snit to Speedy Trini. SAN FRANCISCO, August 4.—The Chron- icle says: Althovgh the claim of the United States against the Leland Stanford estate for $15,- 000,000 does not become due until January 16, 1895, there fs every reason to believe that the proceedings in the state courts to Collect the alleged indebtedness will be com- mMenced at an early date. The suit has put a cloud on every portion of the valuable estate, there to remain until the legality of the claim has been passed upon by the courts or until the time for gommencing an action for enforcing its col- lection bas passed and the right for such a Bult is lost. When, a few days ago, Mrs. Stanford, by her attorneys, notified the government that its claim against the estate had been re- fected. it was generally belfeved that no further action would be taken until the first bonds of the Central Pacifle Company had become due. Until that time the gov- Fament would have no legal right to en- force its clat Since that time, however, {t fs said that Mrs. Stanford has submitted P, the United States representative, Dis- let Attorney Charles A. Garter, a proposi- tion for a friendly suit. The government is 1 wafting until Jan- rtion of the claim when a poi Proposition hetng inistrators of the cht to object on the that the claim is not due. This to all inte nd purposes, a sult title. The alministrators are ex- Ceelingiy anxious to have the matter clear- ed up.

A Senate Joint resolution for the correc- tion of the military record of Capt. Edward was adopted. There was Wheeler Lt An amicable arrangement was then en- tered into by which one hour was to be given to consideration of pension cases, after which the bill of Mr, Hill to prevent | the admittance of anarchists should be considered, but Mr. Allen (Neb.) threw a temporary wet blanket on the arrange- ment by insisting on the regular order. This led to a general discussion, in which it was contended that the Senate met to- day only on the understanding that the conference report on the river «nd harbor bill should be considered, and as this was withdrawn the Senate should adjourn. The Senate finally proceeded to consider pension cases. Among the private bills passed was a Senate bill granting a pension of $100 a month to the widow of Gen. Abner Double- ; also Senate bill granting a pension of per month to Elizabeth Ellery, widow commodore Ellery. There was also passed a Senate bill grant- ing a pension of §30 to the widow of Lieut.

Piant; House bill for the relief of Benj. Alvord, and Senate resolution for the relief of W. D. Mack. Mr. Hill's Immigration BILL, In accordance with the agreement reach- ed, the bill reported yesterday by Mr. Hill (N.Y.), providing for the inspection of im- migrants by the United States consuls, and for the exclusion of anarcnists, was taken up. 2 Mr. Peffer (Kan), while unwilling to raise the point of no-quorum against the bill, thought such an gmpertant measure should have a full Senate, and he therefore sug- gested that it go over until Monday. Mr. Hill, however, asked;that {t be considered today, though a ypte need not be taken on it, and this was agretd to. Mr. ndler Pavers the House Bi Mr, Chandler fa¥or&f the House bill rather than the Senate ‘substitute, because it was simpler or miide#, ‘and yet made the ex- hibition of a certifftate from a United States counsel by every “immigrant obligatory. If he had his way he ‘ould pass the House bill today, and send $t to the President for signature, although ft had arrayed against it all the steamshtp companies carrying tm- migrants, and the Secretaries of State and ‘Treasury, as well as the commissioner of immigration. The House plan, he thought, which pro- vided for consular certificates, was much to be preferred to the Senate plan for placing treasury inspectors on the European docks to inspect intending emigrants. Moreover, he was convinced that such treasury agents would have no status on European docks, except on the invitation of the European governments, though this ditti- culty might be obviated by making them offictals of the State Department, ‘The Section Aguinst Anarchists. day He thought the other four sections of the | P. bill against anarchists should be passed without objection, and he suggested that | these four clauses’ providing for the ex- | clusion of anarchists, but omitting the sec- | tion relative to the appointment of immi- grant inspectors, if drafted into a bill, weuld pass beth houses this semion.

THE OMNIBUS RAILROAD BILL. Conferees Have Agreed Upon ‘Their Report, Which Will Be Presented Monday. The conferees on the imnibus street railroad bill passed by the Senate on Tues- day, amending the charter of the Great Falls road, extending’ the tracks of the Washington and Georgetown road to the Aqueduct bridge, establishing a union pas- senger station there and extending the line of the Eckington road, have agreed upon their report, which will be presented to the two houses on Monday. All amend- ments of the Senate in regard to the Great Falls and the Washington and Georgetown companies and the union pas- senger station will stand. The new route of the Eckington road will be somewhat modified, instead of taking a loop around B street, by the Baltimore and Potemac station, to and up Yth street on the Metropolitan tracks, the line will run along B on its own tracks, if the Commissioners may so decide, to a point on & street, probably at the corner of 7th, where the first branch of the road will terminate. The return tip will be made on the same route by way of 3B, 6th, Louisiana avenue and 5th. s The ‘Idea is that at some near day the Commissioners will see their way clear to the establishment of a union passenger sta- tion for street railways on the government reservation bounded by 6th and 7th streets, | brebably just west of the Baltimore and Potomac station, at the corner of 7th. The amendment to the bill is framed with this in view. The conferees will also agree | to cut out entrance to the Capitol grounds for the Eckington road by way of the Met- ropolitan tracks, It is understood that the Metropolitan Company have agreed to grant this privilege to the Eckington road without any specific legislation on the sub- ject as soon as the north terminal street extension of the Eckington has been com- pleted. JUDGE LONG’S PENSION, Filed in Court Today. Judge Charles D. Long*>f Michigan late this afternoon filed in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia anotuer peti- ton for a mandamus against Commission- er of Pensions William Lochren. Secre- tary of the Interior, Hoke Smith is made a party defendant in the bill. After reviewing at length the particulars in the case, Judge Long asks that Commis- sioner Lochren may be required to return to the court under oath all the applications, affidavits, medical reports and other re- ports, and all the evidence of every kind on file, or on record in the bureau of pensions, relating to his pension. Also that a writ of mandamus issue directing Commissioner Lochren to vacate and reverse the order made by him reducing the pension of Judge Long from $72 to $0 per month, and com- manding Secretary of the Interior Smith to issue a pension certificate restoring to Judge Long a pension of $72 month from March 4, 1894. cia or THE WILLIAMS-SETTLE CASK, An Effort to Be Made to Oust th ting Member.

The committee have decided in favor of Mr. Settle, but a tremendous effort is being made by the friends of Mr. Will- jams to overrule the committee, and they are relying on partisanship to do this. 2+ CHAIRMAN WILSON, Again Feel the Strain of Work on the Tarif’ bil, The strain on Chairman Wilson 1s again showing its effects and his associates fear there will be a recurrence of the painful maladies which sapped his strength dur- ing the first tariff conference. His face is again swollen and he reluctantly admits that he is well nigh physically exhausted. ——__+ e+ — CAPITOL TOP Two Relief Bills, The Senate spent an hour today passing private bills, and among them were two of lccal interest. Senate resolution 68 was passed authorizing the Secretary of War to pay to W. B. Mack, a clerk of the record and pension division of the War Depart- ment, his salary for the menth lost by him last summer. Mr. Mack was on his way from a reunion excursion to Gettysburg, and had both feet taken off in a railway ac- cident. Senate Dill 229, which was also passed, ts a relic of the seventies. It directs the Sec- retary of the Treasury to pay George H. by the Court of Claims for damages sus- tained by him by reason of a collision be- tween his steamboat, the Lady of the Lake, und the United States ship Gettysburg, on the Potomac on the 30th of May, 1874. ‘This FINANCE AND TRADE Activity in Sugar Refiners One of _ the Features, PUBLISHED SCHEDULES SATISFACTORY The Railroad List Today Was De- cidedly Strong. FEELING PREVAILS BETTER Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK; August 4.—The interest in today’s market centered almost entirely in sugar retiners, “"be published schedule was apparently satisfactory to the sugar people, and while their brokers were industriously circulating rumors that the proposed agree- ment was unsatisfactory to the trust, they were equally industrious in picking up the stock, the price for which opened about 1 per cent above last night's closing price, sold up fractionally to 1063-8, hesitated a few moments, then “dipped” to 1043-4, after which it rallied, and, with trans- | actions, amounting to nearly 40,00 shares, held very firm, closing about yesterday's final figures, There was litile feature to the rest of the market. The other industrials were firm and the ~ailroad list decidedly strong. Smaller decreases in raijroad earnings, as shown by St. Paul’s statement for the fourth week in July, and an actual increase of $10,000 in Muassouri Pacitic for the same weck, and the decrease in clearing house returns, all testify to the reviving tendeu- cies which seem to have set in, While the returns of the trade agencies show no par- Ucular improvement in the irou trade, ex- cept steadier prices, siaples have been de- cidedly more active at better prices, and any improvement in the dry goods district is immediately reflected in Wall street, where a decidedly better feeling prevails. One feature of tolay’s trading was Kich- mond Terminal, fifth assessment paid was more active than for many days. It is ex- pected that the new securities of the re- crganized company, now known as the Southern Railway Company, will be ready on October 1. The new company now owns and operates all the property included tn the plan of reorganization, with the excep- tion of the Georgia Pacific, which will be turned over about the middie of this month. The bank statement is as follows: Reserve, decrease. Loars, ‘increose. Circulation, decrea: The statement shows the of the specie shipped last Saturday and early this week. This is reflected entirely in withdrawais of legal tenders. The slight increase in loans offsets in the deposit item a part of the loss in cash. The statement as a whole is unimportant, the only changes being caus- ed_ by bold shipments. Taking the week as a whole the market has shown a slight increase in business, ard prices are better all around, and the belief amongst the rule element, which now controls the speculation, is that prices will rule higher next week, — FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest and the closing of the New York stock market today, as re- rted by Corson & Macartney, members New York stock exchange.

W. J. Volkmar of the ad- jutant general's department to duty on Governor's Island, N. Y., om the staff of Maj. Gen. Howard, commanding the de- partment of the Atlantic. He reported for duty on the 15th ultimo, and had not been there long before he got in trouble with two other officers of the rank of major,with whom he had been assigned quarters. He held that his rank entitled him to better accommodations, without the necessity of associating with other officers of a lower rank, Gen, Howard contended that he had a right to assign the officers of the staff to such quarters as he saw fit, and declined to consider Col. Volkmar’s complaint. ‘Thereupon the latter sent an appeal to the War Department, and the question will re- quire action by the Secretary. It is said that Gen. Schofield thinks that the colonel was at fault, and that *Adjt. Gen. Ruggles thinks he was in the right. The impression appears to be that the department will hold that Col. Volkmar must abide by the decision of the commander of the depart- ment of the Atlantic. a Army Orders. Capt. Thomas M.

Mr. George Simmons, secretary of the Columbla Heights Citizens’ Association,has written to the Commissioners in regard to uniformity in the suburban street nomen- clature. In his letter he says: “As ts well known to you, great lack of System exists in the nomenclature as well as in the alignment of suburban strects north of the city. Numerous suggestions aimed at improvement in the system of naming these streets have, from time to time of late years, appeared in the news- papers of the city,every one of which would doubtless be preferable to the present con- fusing plan. “The territory represented by our asso- ciation Comprises two subdivisions, being bounded on the east by Brightwood avenue and on the west by léth street extended, llth street, if extended, being the dividing line between the subdivisions. This terri- tory furnishes a good illustration of the want of system here referred to, The cross streets, or those running east and west through both subdivisions, while occupying practically the same alignment, have two sets of names. For example, Irving and Roanoke streets, running from Brightwood avenue to 14th street extended, are in real- ity but one thoroughfare, though burdened with two names, Tue confusion resulting from this condition of things can be read- lly imagined. u “The streets in the Columbia Heights subdivision are named after leading Amer- ican colleges, and might with great pro- priety be retained, the connect treets: to the eastward in Todd & Brown's sub- division to bear the same names. Two of them, Princeton and Harvard, now con- form to this plan. But ff it be decided to give entirely new names to the streets on this plateeu then we would suggest the propriety of using the names of states and territories of the Union that do not now aj in the street nomenclature of the District, vig: The continuation of Chapin street eastward to be called Alabama ave- nue, Clifton street changed to Dakota ave nue, Roanoke and Irving streets to Hlinots avenue, Yale and Bismarck streets to Lo’ avenue, Princeton street to Michigan ave- hue, Harvard sireet to Montana avenue Columbia avenue (representing the Dis- trict) to be extended to Brightwood avenue taking in Steuben street; Kenesaw and Wallach streets to Nebraska avenue, Ken- yon and Marshall streets to Nevada ave- nue, Dartmonth and Farragut streets {from 13th to Boundary) to Texas avenue, and Whiting avenue to Utah avenue. “That there is passing need of some unt- form, simple plan of naming the streets in the territory herein mentioned will be ad- mitted by ‘any one acquainted with the present condition of things, and we would respectfully suggest and request that the needed Congressional action in this, dines tion be immediately urged by you.” .
