She does this with the expectation and assurance that Japan will come half way. “Japan began the war for the purpose, as she said, of securing Corea’s compiete sover- ‘eignty. This China will fully concede. It is also probable that China will pay a fair indemnity. This, however, will be in cash and not In (rinese territory, as I do not think any peece can be arranged which wiil permit Japan to occupy a part of Chinese soil.” Another department official uresented the Japanese view of the prezent negotiations: “Japan recognizes China's craft, and she is not likely to be misled by ary empty offers of peace on terms which seem to mean much and in truth near nothing. The sov- ereignty of Ccrea is cre of those empty tions, as China has been driven out of Corea and has nothing to concede as to that country. Neither dees Japan want any Chinese territcry, not even the Island of which is in reality an extension of the Japinese croup. What she will un- doubtedly expect is a cash indemnity suffi. cient to recoup her for, all her war ex- penditure. That and the prestige of Japan- @se arms, ani the humbling of China, will give the full fruits of victory.” As a result of all the negotiations it is altogether probable that both China and Japan will ask the United States to act as arbitrator in determining on what terms permanent peace shall be restored, and im that event it is not doubted that the United States will readily consent to act as arbitrator. ——__+ e+ BYNUM ASKED FOR NAMES. Seattering Retar of the Recent Elections. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., November 10.—The News today will print two open letters to W. D.

Byccial Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., November 10.--There was an impromptu prize fight at the Balti- more horse snuw last night, in which Mr. | John A. Logan, jr., took part, and which | wound up by his being taken in charge by two policemen. Mr. Logan regarded himself as in no way to blame in the affair and thoroughly indig- Pant, denouncing his arrest as an outrage. ‘The fight occurred a little after 9 o'clock, just after Mr. Logan had taken second premium in a ring in which there were fourteen or fifteen-as pretty cobs as ever icoked through a bridle. Just after the ribbons hed been tied Mr. | Logan, who had been talking to young Mr. | Drexel, who was also driving in the ring, | shook’ up his cob and rattled through the gate at a lively pace. He dismounted there and was walking about when he ran against Martin O rien, stable boy. The election of Gen. | O’Brien, who is a big Irishman and keeper of hounds at the swellest fox hunting club | in ‘baltimore, for some reason got very | | angry and struck Mr. Logan. Mr. Logan, ins' ot turaing his left cheek, landed on U'#srien’s jaw a blow that | would have made Corbett turn green with | envy. Then -O'#rien’s blood * | rushed at his opponent, threatening to an- late hiin. “Hts btow fell short, while Mr. gan again displayed his knowledge of the manly art by tapping O’Brien in the neck. After this blow science gave place to catcn-as-catch can. O’Brien kicked Mr. | Logan _under the arm. Mr. Logan returned by tackling O’Brien in foot ball style. The police then interfered. Mr. Logan was taken in charge by two officers, but after an explanation he was released. Mr. Logan has been here all the week with his stable. The horse show, which has been im progress a week, closes tonight. It has been a social, but not a financial suc- cess. Gov. Frank Brown says, however, it will be continued next year. A great many of the horses leave at once for New York, to be present at the Madison Square show. THE CZAP AL TRAIN. Requiem Masses Celebrated the Route.

LATE NEWS BY WIRE|THE NATIONAL RIFLES First of the Three Yearly Big Foot Ball Games. PRINCETON AND PENNSYLVANIA MEET ——_+—__— The Quakers Opened the Contest Briskly. THOUSANDS PRESENT ccna ae TRENTON, N. J., November 10.—Almost every house and store in the city has been beautifully bedecked with the colors of the two colleges in honor of the Princeton-Penn- sylvania foot ball game today. The colors of Princeton (orange and black), however, pre- dominate. Old Pennsylvania has many ad- mirers,and all the larger stores are impartial with their decorations. The Pennsylvania team, which has been quartered at the Dela- ware Water Gap for nearly a week, arrived in the city over the Belvidere division of tig Pennsylvania railroad at 12:25. About the same time the scrub team from Philadelphia reached Trenton. The Princeton team and a host of shouters reached here about noon. Notwithstanding the recent heavy rains, the grounds are in fairly good condition. The surface is, of course, a trifle moist, but the sun, which peeped out this morning for the first time during the week, will largely remedy this, The under surface of the srounds are almost as hard as rock, and the ) water is drained off. Harry L. Williams, the old Yale half back, than whom are few better judges of foot ball, gives as his opinion that the sharp claws of the tiger will be trimmed by old Pennsylvania, and gives strong reasons for his belief. George Q. Horwitz, who has followed the | University of Pennsylvania foot ball team for years, and a man who can speak ad- visedly on the team says the present team is the best one that has ever represented the red and blue. He looks for the Penn- sylvania boys to win. On the other hand, the Philadelphia hotel ccrridors have been full of ’rinceton money, and there is also an abundance of it float- | ing about this town with very few takers on behalf of Pennsylvania. The Princeton supporters have been apparently sanguine of success and would not consider for a moment the possibility of their team being defeated by the wearers of the red and blue. Princeton Appeared Fiest. When the time for the line-up had rolled around the sky was filled with ominous clouds, which threatened a downpour at any moment. The Princeton team was the first to arrive, and.was.greeted with an enthusiastic reception. They were led on the field from the upper end by Captain ‘frenchard, and were followed a few min- utes later’ bY Captain Knipe ‘of Pennsyl- vania and his band of warriors. When the teams finaily lined up thore were about_15,00Y persons on the grounds. ‘The open Seats were crowded, and the grand stand was comfortably, filled. The stands presented a beautiful sight, gay as they Were .with.the.colars, of the oppos- ing teams. Large yellow chrysanthem'ms seattered through the profuse decorations of orange and black and the blue and red certainly gave the grand stand the appear- ance of a big tower bed. The Princeton team came on the field at 10, followed at 2:13 by the sons of “Old enn.” Lawrie Bliss was chosen referee, and McClung lineman; umpire, Paul Dashiel. Princeton won the toss, and took the north end of the field, with the wind in their favor. ‘The tears lined up as follows: Pennsylvania. Positions. Princeton. Rosengarten Left end.

They Have Decided to Enter the District National Giard. ‘The Details Not Yet Arranged, but Being Considered by Gen. Ord- way—Sketch of the Corps. ‘The National Rifles have decided to be- come members of the National Guard of the District of Columbia and the probabilities are that the organization will be mustered into the militia in a body. The decision of the Rifles was reached at a recent meeting, which was only one of many at which the subject wes discussed, and was the result of the steady education of the members that a scparate military organization in tne Dis- trict could not be maintained other than as an almost distinctively social affair, The reasons for this were evident. ‘The National Guard, upon its establishment, became the only legally recognized militia at the capital of the nation. In time of public necessity the authorities could call upon it alone, and consequently a separate battalion or company, no matter how brave its members might be or how superior the soldierly accomplishments. they might possess, could merely exist as a show organization, to use the word in {ts in- offensive sense, and of utterly no use in the time of an emergency. Many members of the National Rifles recognized the unenvi- able position in which they were placed’ as soon as the National Guard was established, and were desirous of having their com- panions enter the militia at once, but the majority of the men and many of the offi- cers were opposed to the idea. Among the most strenuous advocates of entering the National Guard was Capt. James F. Oyster, and he has steadily and persistently con- tinued to favor such a move. Others have stood by him, and converts have been made from time to time, until the decision was finally reached a short time ago. A Proposed Battall The details of the mustering in of the Rifles have not yet been completed, but are under consideration by General Ordway and Captain Oyster. A great many persons interested in the Rifles are very anxious to see a new battalion fcrmed in the National Guard, to consist of the National Rifles, the National Fencibles and the Corcoran Cadets. The splendid record of each of these organizations would assure one of the crack battalions of the entire country in case their consolidation could be accom- plished. It is understood that General. Ord- way is heartily in favor of the idea, aad every one of the civilians and others.inter- ested in local matters to whom the sugges- tion has been broached has applauded. .it heartily. May Retain Their Armory.” It has rot been settled, either, whether the Rifles will be allowed to maintain their home in their own armory, on G streét,; or be assigned to quarters in the District ar- mory, now being erected adjacent to Con- vention Hall. The probabilities are, how- ever, that the Rifles and the Washington Light Infantry will be pérmitted to remain in the armories which they have come jnto possession of by means of their own exer- tions. Such permission would allow. ..the Rifles also to retain the social features of their organization, which have been and promise to be brilliant and successful. All these details, however, will doubtless-be ar- ranged to the mutual satisfaction of all parties concerned, as the rigors of iron-clad rules will hardly be allowed to affect the long-desired and eagerly looked forward to result of a combined militia of the District, under the protection and authority of the United States, When the Rifles are mustered in there will be but one separate company in the District—the Old Guard, which is com- posed of veterans, who cannot be expected to undergo regular discipline on account of their advanced age and the reminders they carry of the hot times in the eariy sixties. —__—- -— THEY LOOKED RESPECTABLE. But Are Held on a Charge of Attempt- ed Robbery. Two young women, well dressed and good looking, were prisoners in Judge Mil- ler's court today, and they were repre- sented by Lawyer Carrington. One of them, whose name was given as Iona Creagh, atias Green, met a charge of grand larceny of $120 from a young man named W. Simon Capp, a real estate man from Norfolk, Va. The other woman gave her name as Bessie Dayton, her alias being given as Dolly Mitchell. Iona Creagh told Judge Miller that she received a weekly remittance of $150 from her husband, who is a New York real estate dealer. These women occupy a room in the Hotel John- son, where it is alleged the larceny occurred at an early nour this morning. According to the evidence in the case, Capp made the acquaintance of the women at the race track yesterday, and last night he met them on Pennsylvania avenue, apd they drank two bottles of wine. Then Capp and Iona went to the room occupied by the women, and there, he charges, she robbed him. There was a lively tussle in the‘room, and Capp’s new overcoat received a large dose of ink, which necessitated it being ‘sént to a cleaner. The Mitchell woman appeared on” the scene just before the ink bottle episode, and took a hand in the affair. : Policemen Kilmartin, Emmert and Barry responded to the complaint made by Capp, and found the women in the hotel roo:n. While they were there two men appeared in the room. They said they roomed in, she hotel, and one of them claimed that he was the owner of.a bottle of whisky that.wase on the bureau. fIona objected, and, in her efforts to prevent being arrested, she strip- ped herself of her clothing, and it was only when the officers threatened to wrap her-in a sheet and take her that she put on-her clothes and went with them. Judge Miller commented on the fact of the two men appearing in the room, and it turned out that they were in the audi- ence. ; Iona was held in $1,000 security for the action of the grand jury, and Bessie was required to give.real estate security in the sum of $250, or go down on the farm.” DISTRICT EMPLOYES. resident Thnks He Cannot In- lude Them in the Civil Service. ‘The President is said to have reached. the conclusion that the employes of the Dis- trict government are not federal employe’ within the meaning of the civil seryice laws, and consequently that he has no au- thority to include them in the list of federal employes subject to the rules and regula- tions of the civil service commission. ~~» The Attorney John J.

Plans AreBeing Prepared for a Needed Building. Covoner Hanmett is preparing a bill, to be submitted to Congress at the next session, providing for the erection of a new morgue more adequate in its accommodations. Dr. Hammett will also make an effort to have the new morgue equipped with a photo- graphic outfit for the purpose of photograph- ing unknown dead persons. There are a number of objections to the present morgue. Besides the disagreeable location of the building, its ventilation is yery poor, it being blocked off by the wagon shed In the rear of: the station house.

As a general proposition, he has found it necessary to curtail the estimates submitted by each of the executive departments, in order to bring the grand total within the econcmical Hmit fixed by. the President. With the others the estimates of the Dis- trict Commissioners come In for a reduc- tion. In order tp scale them.down with the least porsible detriment to the interests of thei service, ‘Seer -tary Carlisle gave a hear- ing to the District Commissioners. at the Treasury Department this morning. Audi- tor Petty was also present. The Secretary listened attentively to the arguments of the Commissioners in support of their esti- mates as already submitted, and promised to. carefully coasider tLeir wishes in, the firal revision of the figures. He would not be able to pass upon the estimates finally, he said, until he had received the complete estimates from all the other departmenis of the government,” Their amount and im- portarce would naturally influence him ia the consideration of those of the District. The Commissioners were especially solicit- ous for the retention of the estimate of $100,000 for beginning work on a municipal building. — Clear-Day Force. Ancther -clear day, and another lame gang of.men at work on the: post office building—that is, large for this work. ‘There were seventy men at work when the nooa whisties blew, and so eager were they at their labors that some of them did not quit for dinner until several minutes later.

RUMORED BOND ISSUE Secretary Carlisle Denies That Any Steps Have Been Taken. A Consultation Behind Closed Doors at the Treasury Department This Morning. Secretary Carlisle is authority for the statement that there is no present intention of issuing any more government bonds. This statement was made in direct contradiction of a report current in Wall street and pub- lished in ell the New York newspapers, that another bond issue of $50,000,000 had been determined on as absolutely necessary for the protection of the gold balance. It is said this afternoon, on authority, that Sec- retary Carlisie has not made the slightest change in his financial policy, and that he sees no reason for the report that he pro- poses to do so. What Secretary Carlisle Says. In conversation with a visitor this morn- ing, he said that these constantly recurring rumors about more bonds were evidently put in circulation by a certain class of brokers in Wall street for the purpose of influencing the market, and also for the purpose of forc- ing another issue of bonds. He is also quoted as having said: “The public credit will be maintained, and ‘if to this end it is found necessary to issue bonds, they will be issued without the least hesitation, but no action of this kind is in immediate contemplation. If there should be heavy and continued withdrawals of gold for export, it might be necessary, in order to maintain the government credit, to place another loan, but the present con- ditions do not warrant such action.” Consultation Behind Closed Doors. ‘The publication of the bond story created considerable of a stir at the Treasury De- partment, and Secretary Carlisle, Assistant Secretary Curtis and Assistant Treasurer Jordan were early in consultation behind closed doors. ‘he last named came ov2r hurriedly trom New York to confer with his superior officiais in regard to the sub- ject. While they were in consultation Pri- vate Secretary ‘hurber came over from the White House to see Secretary Carlisle. In- asmuch as Mr. ‘Thurber has not seen the President since yesterday afternoon, it is not likely that he had any message to de- liver from him in regard to the bond sen- sation, which was not sprung on the public until this morning. ‘The Associated Press says it can be stated with the utmost positiveness that there are no preparations now being made at the treasury for another bond issue. A Positive Statement. Notwithstanding these assertions to the contrary, the New York Times, which usually speaks with authority on the acts of this administration, publishes a positive assertion that tne President has decided to issue bonds to maintain the gold reserve at $100,000,000, The treasury, it declares, needs about $20,000,000, and Congress will not be asked to authorize the call, which, accord- ing to this story, 1s to be made within three days, allowing ten days for subscriptions. o———__—_—_ ‘THE CHILEAN MISSION. One Place for Some Statesman Out of Work. ‘The President has < good diplomatic ap- pointinent at his disporal, which will un- doubtadly be offered to one of the legion of democratic statesmen whe were relegated to private Jife at the recent election.

GEN, MeCOOK, Army Promotions in the Highest Grades of the Service. The army promotions resulting from the retirement of Maj. Gen, Howard were made by the President ycsterésy afternoon. Brig. Gen, Alexander McD. McCook was appoint- ed major general, and Col. James W. For- syth of the seventh cavalry was appointed brigadier general. Gen. McCook’s promo- tion over the heads of Gens. Ruger, Merritt and Brooke is said to be mainly due to the influence of powerful pelitical friends, and the further fact that he will retire April 22 next, before either of his seniors, and other- wise would stand no chance of promotion, Gen, McCook is at present in command of the Department of Colorado. Gen. Ruger will probably be trersferrea to the com- mand of the Department of the Missouri at Chicag, relieving Maj. Gen. Miles on his transfer to New York in command of the Deparument of the East. Gen. McCook forty-seven years in the military and is one of that famous family of warriors “the fighting McCooks.” He is a graduate of the West Point Military Academy, which he entered as a cadet in isi7. He was a captain in the regular army at the outbreak of the war, from which he emerged with the rank of lieutenant colonel. But in addition to this he held at the be- ginning a volunteer commission as colonel of the first Ohio infantry, and in one year received his volunteer commission as a major general. For gallant service during the war he was brevetted as major general in the regular army in 1865, thus antici- pating by twenty-nine years the good for- tune which has fallen to him in today’s ap- pointment. Col. James W. Forsyth, who becomes brigadier ger er: is one of the most dis- tinguished cavalry officers, and has behind him a notable record of service in Indian campaigns. At present he is colonel of the seventh cavalry, and in «© “mand of the artillery school at Fort Ri an. He also is a graduate of West Pu..., from which institution he graduated in 1851, and is a veteran of the late war. He entered as a first lieutenant and emerged a majer in the regular army, but in the volunteer ser- vice he recefved his commission as a briga- dier general. He also was brevetted a brigadier general in 1865. ——__—__-2-___—__ Fire on 13th Street.

The boy rushed indoors with the statement that the house was on fire, end arid great excitement the inmates rushed out. The fire department was summoned and in a short time had ex- tinguished the conflagration. Mrs. De Witt's loss of personal property amounts to about $800, while the building can be repaired for $4) House 513, owned by I. B. Jones, was slightly damaged.

PRICES OF STOCKS CONTINUE 70 GO UP Coalers Less Sympathetic Than the Others. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS ae oe eee Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 10.—The rebuke administered to the pessimistic element during the last few days was emphasized by a further advance in prices this morning and @ = almost complete annihilation of the short interest. The investment public, as usual, was slow to realize the change in the speculative undertone. and is willing to purchase, at prevailing prices, stocks which rad nothing to recommend them when five points cheaper. Commission houses report a good demand for all classes of securities, and the present movement, although found- ed on sentiment, seems likely to be further- ed by legitimate purchases for long account. Facts, figures and conditions are not con- sulted, and until they are the present move- ment will not culminate, Traders admit that a reaction is due, but all efforts in that direction have failed. The bulls have the upper hand and will endeavor to discipline the bears as they have themselves been disciplined during the past year. Indications at the close of business fa- vored a higher level of values for the com-, Ing week with the policy of the street more clearly outlined than at present. Railroad earnings will be no longer compared with the heavy world’s fair traffic of a year ago, and future comparisons will more clearly reflect actual conditions. These items are likely to be recognized as important spec- ulative factors before the year is out. “fhe willingness to disregard all but the favorable elements now existing is espe- ciaily ‘marked’ in the case of Sugar. The reopening of the refineries and the demands of the trade for a replenishing of a depleted stock of the refined product are utilized, to good advantage, because it suits the pur- poses, of the manipulators to mark up the price of the stock. The possibility that Congress may impose certain adverse re- strictions on the operators of the company are not considered at all, the intention evi- dently being te market the present holdings ofathe- bull pool under the first influences and organize a bear pool under the latter. In the same way, future benefits to result from the overthrow of the populists and the defeat of the inflated currency agitation in the west are being used to offset small Crops and decreased earnings. The wisdom of, this policy £2 only be determined after a ‘competent 5 he hank statement shows 2 loss of $2,250,000 in lawful inoney, and the de- posits are further cecreased by a contrac- tion of over $1,000,000 in loans.

Ten directors will be elected to serve three years, and several’ reports of great interest and importance will be presented. After the business meet- ing a lunch will be served to the members. On account of the importance of this meet- ing it is expected that there will be a large attendance. ‘The annual reports of the officers and of the standing committees will be presented, showing what the board has accomplished during the past year. Seme recommendations of the board of di- rectors will also be called up for action, One of these recommendations indorses the proposed extension of the civil service law to the District government. Favorable ac- tion will also be reported on the petition of the firemen asking Congress for an in- crease of 25 per cent in their salaries, with the understanding that one-half of the increase will be for the firemen's pension fund. Certain changes in the by-laws, due notice of which has been given, will also be considered. In compliance with the request made the board, Gen. John D. Cotton has tom nished some statistics in regard to the wa- ter power at Great Falls. These figures show the amount of horse power, which can be obtained at Great Falls at a height of one foot of water at the dam and at the height of one foot and six inches. The ecnclusion reached that if the Great Falls water power was di with water Wheels to the extent of 50,000 horse power abcut 12 per cent would be furnished by steam and the balance by water, The opinion is expressed that this power must be ted to the city by electricity. —_—__ HELD FOR TRIAL. Officials of the Central Trust Com- pany of Pennsylvania. Over fifty of the three hundred persons who have complained to the post office in- spectors about the methods of the Central ‘Trust Company of Pennsylvanta, which has had an office on F street in this city, were present yesterday afternoon in the United State district attorney's office, in Philadel- phia, when the officers of the company, who are charged with using the United States mails to further a scheme to defraud, were given a hearing before United States Com- missioner Bell. The defendants were Lorin Chambers, formerly controller of the com- pany; G. M. Spencer, formerly secretary and treasurer; H. L. Briggs, formerly president; Rodman H. Blake, formerly superintendent of agencies, and R. V. Rapp, who came to Philadelphia on Saturday from Wheeling, W. Va., and was taken in custody and sur- rendered to the United States authorities. All the defendants were committed for trial at the next term of court. Chambers and Spencer were held in $3,500 bail each, and Briggs and Rapp in $500 each. The de- fendant Blake, against whom no testimony has yet been offered, was offered a hearing at a later date, but Mr. Shields waived this and he, too, was held in $500 bail. ~——_—_—- DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Request Denied. The Commissioners have denied the re- quest of Dennis T. Keady that his water rent, which he claims is excessive, be re- ferred to the attorney for his opinion. Mr. Keady is referred to a former opinion of the attorney on this subject, which reads: “The Commissioners cannot remit any part of the water rent. The water rent be- comes due on a certain day, and is de- termined by the character of the place on that day.” Want Improvements. ‘The residents of Tennessee avenue north- east between East Capitol and B streets desire to be informed by the Commissioners what action is necessary on their part to secure some improvement in the roadway in front of their homes, and the completion of the sidewalk on the east side of the street. Exceptions to Water Main Assessment A water main was, recently laid on D street between 11th street and Kentucky avenue, and notice for tax assessments served upon the owners on both streets— that is, D street and Kentucky avenue. Wright & Stockett have taken exception to the assessment’ of the property on Ken- tucky avenue, and have requested the Com- missioners to get un opinion from their at- torney on the subject. He Complains. Walter Donaldson of 22°R street north- east has writ(en to the Commissioners call- ing attention to the bad condition of the street at the junction of Lincoln and Florida avenues and North Capitol street, and requesting that crossings be placed at those points. Obstructed Streets. N. H. Kgieston of 1600 16th street north- west has complained to the Commissioners of the obstructed sidewalks on 1ith street between K street and Ohio avenue. Water Main Wanted. Relative to the application filed a few days ago for a water main in Virginia ave- nue northwest, from G street to New Hampshire avenue, Captain Burr in his report to the Commissioners today recom- mends that the writer be informed that the present condition of the available funds of the water department will not permit the laying of a_ main in Virginia avenue, as requested. He states that a water main exists in G street which can be tapped for the service of lot 20, in square 31. Today's Orders.
