Theories Regarding the Recent Tragedics in That City. DENVER,-Col, November 14.—The three murders by strangulation of the demi- monde that have taken place in Denver have not only caused the wildest excite- ment among the denizens of Market street, but have set all classes to speculating as to identity. of the strangler. Medical meu are inclined to look upon the murders as the work of some one with uncontrollable homicidal tendencies, developed only upon certain occasions. Coroner Martin says a Denver business man is under strong suspicion of being ;thus affected and of being the murderer. All the Japanese arrested on suspicion have been released.

November 14.—Early in October an unknown man was murdered by tramps in the outskirts of this city. His body was held for several days for identification and then buried in potter's field. Police investigation at last solved the mystery of the unknown grave. The murdered man was C. C. Humbert of St. Paul, Minn., and that robbery was the mo- tive for the crime is established by the fact that Humbert had recently fallen heir to a fortune in Germany, and was in possession of a considerable sum of money at the time he was lured. to bis death.

Hobday, statistical secretary. ‘This association is purely a deliberative body and has no authority to iterfere with the autonomy of the different church- It comprises six consecutive boards, jon, education, Sunday school ign mission, home mission The most important question to be con- sidered by the body is the consolidation with the state mission board, of which R. Taylor Ellyson of Richmond is secre- tary, and the Sunday school and Bible board, which is in charge of Rev. Dr. J. M. Pilcher of Petersburg. In the event the two are not consolidated a secretary, who will give his entire time to the work, will have to be employed; Inasmuch as Mr. Eliyson has a large law practice he will not be willing to accept the position. The meeting then adjourned until this morning at 9:30, when opened by the singing of hymns and prayer. A letter of “greeting” was received from the Virginia students at the Southern Bap- tist Theological Seminary at Louisville, Ky., and ordered to be replied to by the moderator, Rev. T. 5. Dunnaway. The usual committees were appointed. The report of the treasurer of the associa- tion showed the finances to be in a very healthy condition. ‘This was followed by the reading of the report of the co-operative committee, which, after a good deal of discussion, was adopted. A number of visiting ministers were in- troduced and recognized by the moderator. ‘The report of the committee on state mis- sions showed good work during the past year. It was discussed at length and the re- sults of the work set forth as regarding different sections of the state and adopted unanimously.

Hopkins, The President has commuted to im- prisonment for life the death sentence of Charles Hopkins, sentenced to be hanged November 23 next in the jail in the Dis- trict of Columbia. In his tndorsement the President says: “The assault upon which the charge of murder ts predicated n this case was the sequel to an alterca- sion and mutual assault between the con- vict and the deceased, a number of hours intervening. The deceased worked as usual a number of days after the injury, and his death did not occur until about three weeks there- after, though I am bound to assume, I sup- pose, that death resulted from the injury. This commutation is based upon the fact that In the light of all the circumstances as they are presented to me, there does not appear to be that clear proof of «e- liberation and premeditation that should make the homicide murder in the first de- free and punishable with death, and upon the further fact that both the judge, be- fore whom the convict was tried, and the district attorney, who prosecuted him, “ecommend such commutation.” the session was | UNSOLICITED AID Position of This Country in the Chinese- Japanese Peace Negotiations, The Kindly Offices of the United States Not Specially Desired by Japan —China’s Position. ‘There is,a growing impression in diplo- matic circles that the administration has at least been premature, if, indeed, it has not cormmitted a grave diplomatic blunder in its negotiations for ihe settlement of the war between China and Japan. This goverument is on the friendliest footins with both nations, aud ix generally sup posed to nave no preference for either, as egainst the other. It certainly has no special interest in the issue of their present contention. Yet, without any solicitation on the part of one and without direct solicitation on the part of the other, it has undertaken to interrupt the progress of their military operations by an offer to mediate. And What aggravates the case, it has been led to this course of action at the instance of European nations having a direct in- terest in the matter. England, France, Germany and Russia are vitally concerned in the matter, but the interests of the United States are not like- ly to be affected by the result of the war one way or the other.This country occupies the pesition of an entirely neutral specta- tor. Japanese victories affect us no more than would similar victories by the Chinese hosts. Interference Not Called For. The two countries are at war and must abide by the resuli While there may be reasons why the European nations should interfere, it is said there are none that have been ad- vaneed so far that justify the United States in indicating that the contest has gone far enovgh and that the time has come for a cessation of hostilities. Japan has been uniformly victorious in her engagements with the celestidis and has attained a supremacy that practically enables her to dictate terms to her ad- versary. The question has arisen as to the right of the United States, an entirely disinterested country, to intimate that Japan shall go no further in her conquests or that she shall be placed upon an equal footing with her fallen opponent in an effort at arbitra- ion. As a diplomat put it today: “If China acknowledges her defeat, let her sue ‘or peace, not, however, with foreign vcoun- trig, but with her conqueror. Japan did nof‘ enter upon this war for a principle merely. She wanted to teach her old-time enemy a lesson, and she has done do. The achievement has been expensive, and she naturally does not like to be deprived of the fruits of her victory because of the -philanthropic sentiments of a disinterested outsider.” There is no question of Japart’s prefer- ence for the United States as an arbitrator of the differences between herself and China over all the other governments of the world, but there is a grave question as to whether the time has yet arrived for the submission of the case to an outsider. China naturally wants peace at the best terms she can get, and she has the ben- efit of the powerful co-operation of Great Britain. Japan is not averse to peace, but she does not want to suffer for it. Japan's Position. She has beaten China at every point, and has no reason to doubt a continuation of triumphs. It is understood that she takes the position that overtures for peace should be made by China to her and not to Great Britain, the United States or any other nation. It is contended that the prospects justify this position and explain why she has shown no readiness to accept the un- solicited offer of the United States to mediate the existing differences. Japan hfS already enforced her conten- tion so far as Corea is concerned, and does not ask any concessions from China on that point. She has captured considerable Chinese territory, and is in a position to hold it and add considerably to it, and conséquently would hardly be content to surrender it for the mere reimbursement of the cost of taking it. Why Japan Hesitates. 5 These considerations explain to the sat- isfacticn of many people why Japan has shown a decided disinclination to accept the voluntary tender of President Cleve- land’s good offices in making terms for a settlement of the differences between the hostile countries. It is to China's interest to terminate the war now, but it is to the interest of Japan to prosecute it till it has reached a stage where it can enforce whatever tecms may be agreed upon. Japan has always had a friendly leaning toward the United States, but has never wholly forgiven Secretary Gresham for his entirely gratuitous’ criticism of its policy toward Corea at the outbreak of the present war. His remarks at that time about Japan's attack oi @ weak and defenseless neigh- bor have rankled, notwithstanding subse- quent corciliations, and have had their effect in a most deliberate consideration of h’s voluntary offer to mediate in the present crisis. The Chinese Conditions. The Chinese tenders so far have been on a basis that could not be accepted with safety and consistency by Japan. For in- stance, a Chinese proposition was that Corea be evacuated by both Chinese and Japanese troops. Inasmuch as the prin- cipal cause of the war was Japan's con- tention that the entire Corean administra- tive and financial system must be reformed on modern lines and that Japan must undertake the task, a temporary occupa- tion of the country, at least, by Japan was @ necessary condition. $ Another condition that the Papanese troops evacuate China immediately would also violate all precedent, for it 1s custom- ary in such cages for the victorious nation to retain possession of the captured terri- tory, as a pledge, until the payment of the war indemnity. - After the Franco-Prussian war the Ger- man forces thus held Belfort and other French fortresses until the enormous war indemnity of $1,000,000,000 had been paid Lo Germany. _ What They Want. An official who has given much atten- tion to the subject is of the opinion that Russia will never consent to anything that looks like an indefinite occupation of Corea by Japan, as Great Britain occupies Egypt, unless she is herself allowed to take possession of a port in Corea for the eastern terminus of the Siberian railway. France is reported to have demanded a coaling station on the Island of Formosa and Great Britain has reached out for the Island of Chusan. Semaine TRACK DRY AND FAST.

SOME SCATTERED CASES A Few More Smallpox Suspects Under Examination. School Buildings Being Thoroughly Famigated — Precautions Renewed by the Health Office Officials. Persons residing in the neighborhood of East Capitol and 6th street were greatly excited last evening when they heard of the two cases of smallpox reported at No. 606 East Capitol street, mention of which was made in yesterday's Sjar. This time the patients are young ladies, daughters of Mr. James W. Williams of Georgia, who is a clerk in the sixth auditor's office in the Post Otfice Department. The young la- dies, neither of them more than twenty- one years old, are genera) favorites among their neighbors and have had many per- sons call un them during the past few days. Then, too, there are younger chil- dren, who attend school, and this morn- ing one of the younger ones was com- plaining and may have the dreaded dis- ease. They have been on the streets and in the neighbors’ houses recently, so that they have come in contact with a great maliy persons and it is feared may spread the disease. One of the children attend- ed the Kastern High School, while an- other is in the eighth grade in the Pea- body building. When it was known that there was smallpox in the house, an or- der closing these school buildings was promptly made and today they were thor- oughly fumigated. They will not be open again before Monday. This case it is thought is traceable di- rectly to the Coston family, although the period of incubation had passed. But Mr. Williams and Mr. Coston were friends and were together about the time of the death ef Mr. Coston’s child. They were members of a whist club, but on account of the death of Ruth Coston the club games were postponed at that time, and Mr. Williams had conversed with Mr. Coston about the illness of the Coston child. While the health office officials were in the Williams house today a number of Persons congregated at various points along the street, some venturing near the house, while others were satisfied to remain around the corner and take an occasional look at the house. One lady on the square came to the front door and sprinkled a powdered substance on the front porch of her house, evidently thinking she might kill the germs of the disease if there were any about. Companions of the Williams children at- tend the different schools on Capitol Hill, and an intimate friend of the patients, who is said to have been with them recently, is a teacher in the Normal School in the Den- nison building. The health officer is look- ing after this branch of the case and he may possibly deem it necessary to fumi- gate these other buildings. Chances for Sprending. It was stated today that a member of the Williams family attended the Metro- politan Presbyterian Church last Sunday, and the church people are somewhat alarmed over the report. An official of the church {s responsible for this report, but a friend of the Williams family, who vis- ited the hous- Sunday, told a Star repor- ter today that the young ladies who are ick remained at home all day and did not attend church. There was a lady from Georgia visiting them, and yesterday morning, when it was thought tnat the patients had the smallpox, she went to the house of another friend, but before going she sought the ad- vice of a physician, who told her he thought there was no danger of her spreading the diseese. She is now on a train, going to her Georgia home. The Washington Case. The Interior Department comes in for another share of the scare, and another dose of sulphur will be applied to at least one part of the building this afternoon. This time Mr. Winfield S. Chase. an as- sistant examiner in the patent office, is the man who is feared. It was at his house, No. 300 R_ street northeast, Eck- ington, that Mary Washington, the colored servant mentioned in yesterday's Star, was taken with the smallpox. The ser- vant was complaining Saturday, and al- though she was sick Sunday Mr. Chase was at his desk yesterday. He is now away from office on a leave of absence. Just where this woman contracted the disease is not known. It was stated that some days ago she sat up with a sick friend, and the doctors have an idea that her friend was one of the smallpox patients, but Mary declares she did not visit eny of them, and she also says she was not ac- quainted with them. The Addison Schcol in Georgetown and the Central High School, where the Chase children attended, were closed this morning for fumigation, ard they will be kept closed until Momiay. At the Hospital. Mrs. Margaret Pemberton, the volunteer nurse wh® was taken aick yesterday, has a bad case of smallpox, as has the colored woman, Mary Washington, who was sent to the hospital from Mr, Chase's house yes- terday. The other patients are doing nicely. The discharge of the three patients from the hospital yesterday makes room for others, should there be any further cases. Owing to the number of new cases re- ported yesterday, after so many days with- out even a suspected case, the officlals have experienced a change of feeling concern- ing the disease which, it was thought, had been stamped out. The inspector, Dr. El- Hott, and Dr. O’Malley, who has charge of the ‘work of fumigating the houses, were kept busy, and today the men at the quar- antine station had to start up the steam disinfector egain and disinfect clothing from the houses where the new cases were reported. Another Williams Cane. Jeannette Williams, who attends the Pea- body school and who was feeling unwell this morning, also has the varioloid. It was stated this afternoon that the three Williams patients have only the mild form of varioloid. Suspected Canes. Two cases of suspected smallpox in the Jackson building, Road street, near Oak Hill cemetery, were reported to Mr. B. 'T. Janney, supervising principal of the fifth division public schools, today. The building was consequently ordered closed, as was also the Addison, on P street, the latter owing to the disease having entered the family of one of the teachers. Both are being disinfected. Mr. Janney and Trustee Wilson were in consultation over the mat- ter this morning. It was subsequently ascertained that these two cases, one in the family of Mr. Goodwin, 2803 P street, and the other at the residence of Mr. Stauffer, 8258 N street, were not smallpox, but chicken pox, and the alarm felt was relieved. The schools were closed, however, and the process of fumigation was carried on. ——_—_ Baltimore Markets.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star, NEW YORK, November 14.—An irregular opening and an absence of any outside de- mend for stocks encouraged traders to at- tack the market in the interest of lower prices. . The succ+3s of the Lond issue is assured, local institutions being willing to take at least four-fifths of Lie, entire aniount. The balance of the list was bid up in sympathy with Sugar, and now that the" advance in that stock justifies an un- loading of pool holdings, the railroad list is again forced into its wake. The stock was marked down 4 1-2 per cent this morning on liberal selling*by brokers re- cently conspicuous in-the accumulation of stock, and the assistance of the trading element. The railway list, with the grangers the most conspicuous, declined under selling by the room element for losses ranging fram 3-4 to 11-4 per cent. Western Union was liberally sold by yesterday’s pur- chasers, and a decline of 11-8 per cent was recorded before supporting orders were disclosed. The coal stocks were dull and lower, Jersey Central being the fea- ture of the group, at a loss of 13-4 per cent from opening figures. Manhattan sold up to 1071-4 on early buying, but was freely sold during the afternoon on the reported resignation of Mr. J. Pierrepont Morgan from the di- rectory of the company. Traders sold Chicago Gas down 1 per cent on the belief that Chicago houses Were selling long stock. The last hour’s business was dull, with prices fractionally above the lowest poimt of the day. The sentiment of the street inclined to the belief that the decline had proceeded far enqugh for the present, and buying tor a time was favored by the conservative element. The usual dividend on National Lead will probably be declared tomorrow, and Bur- lington’s directors will take action on a similar subject during the next few days. The result of both meetings is likely to be Teflected in stock values. es FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest and the closing prices of the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, members New York stock exchange.
