S HIS FIGHT. Arguing the Question of Going Be- hind the Returns. A new move was made in the gubernato- rial fight at Nashville, Tenn., yesterday. When the senate met the petition of Gov. Turney asking to be allowed to appear be- fore the joint convention of the two houses, “to contest the returns and to show that I was elected, and that H. Clay Evans was not.” was read. This was In the nature of a surprise to many, and that such a petition was to be presented was not generally known. No faction was taken on the petition. There was but a short session of the house, the chief Interest centering around the senate, where a lively debate was in progress all day, upon Senator Butler’s resolution to fix a@ day for the @eeting of the joint conven- tion to canvass and announce the vote for governor. Senator Beine offered a sub- Stitute, which postpones the convening of the joint convention until an examination into alleged frauds and irregularities shall have been made during this session of the legislature. ‘The debate was opened by Senator Butier and generally participated In by senators | of both parties. The republican argument outlined by Senator Butler ts that the con- 6titution of the state provides that the re- turns sent by shertifs to the speaker of the senate shall be openly canvassed and an- Rounced in the presence of the members of beth houses in joint convention, and that No objection can be made against the cor- Tectness of the vote shown by the face of the returns. ‘The democratic senators contended that the face of the returns fs only prima facle evidence, and the correctness of the re- turns can be assailed and an investigation * Bad if alleged frauds are proven; that all proper corrections must be made, and then the canvass of the vote made and an- nounced by the speaker of the senate. ‘The debate was along these lines and was quite animated at times and attracted a large audience, the house adjourning to at- tend. When the senate adjourned, the de- bate had not ended. Rumors have been afloat that from nine to thirteen democratic legislators had promised to vote for the seating of Mr. Evans, without an investigation and con- test of the returns, and democratic man- agers have been busily engaged in running these rumors down. They say there is no truth fn them. Conferences und meetings behind closed doors by both parties are going on, and there {s much hustling being done by the steering committees. ——_——_+-e+__ RAISE LESS COTTON. Planters Recommended to Grow Corn, Peas and Potatoes. The cotton growers’ convention at Jack- son, Miss., yesterday heard the report of the committee on resolutions, which, after a long discussion, was adcpted. It says in part: “We recommend and earnestly ap- peal to every cotten grower that he will not plant so much cotton. A decrease In average of not less than 25 per cent should be made. If it could be 50 per cent it would be still better. The land thus re- lieved of cotton may be profitably em- ployed in many ways; corn, peas, clover, sorghum, potatoes are profitable crops. Make more meat, raise more stock, make more of everything except cotton.” ——_+ee_____ Chicago’s annual charity ball was held last night at the Auditorium. About 1,500 people were present and $30,000 was real- ized for charity. SEARCEY AND MORGANFIELD MET. Connecting the Latter With the Aquia Creek Robbery. Charles Morganfield, accused of the Aquia creek express robbery, was brought before Judge Wilson at Cincinnati yestercay, as telegraphed to The Star. The prisoner ob- jected to the court es prejudiced, because the judge was the attorney of the Adams Express Company, and also an owner of its stock. The judge overruled the objection, stock of that company, and had done no legal business for it fer twelve years. A long hearing of witnesses to identify the prisoner followed. Mrs. Weaver and her son Willie testified they saw him with Searcey at Calverton, Va., October 13, where the two men had dinner. Searcey called the prisoner Morgan. Thomas C. Hockley of Rappahannock, Va., also identi- fled him as the companion of Searcey, who took supper at witness’ house October 14, the day after the robbery. Morgan had a chill and took some quinine. Mr. Smith of Front Royal also saw the two men October 14. All the witnesses were closely cross-ex- amined°and the héaring was not ended when court adjourned. Impxgving the Presidio. Plans are Being prepared under the di- rection of the department quartermaster at San Francisco for the reconstruction of the Presidio barracks and the general im- provement of the reservation at an esli- mated cost of $1,000,000.

Both houses of the legislature assembled in joint session yesterday afternoon and canvassed the state returns. James H. Budd was declared elected governor amid great enthusiasm. Washburn’s Men Claim Sixty-Five. The Minnesota legislature adjourned yes- terday to Monday. Most of the members have remained in town in order to be in the thick of the senatorial fight. The Wash- burn men claim that Washburn will go in- to the caucus with sixty-five votes.

A few minutes before 7 o’clock last even- ing a blaze was noticed in Osgoodby’s pub- lishing house at Toronto, Ont., next to the establishment which was destroyed in Sun- day’s fire. In the top flat were the caretaker, his wife, who was suffering from nervouz pros- tration, the result of last Sunday’s fire, and a trained nurse. All means of escape by the stairway were cut off, and there was no time to wait for the fire escape. So a number of blankets and mattresses were held by the people below and the frighten- ed occupants of the upper story were told to jump. The caretaker’s wife Jumped first and fell into a mass of telephone wires, rolled over, and was caught on a mattress. Then the nurse leaped and was caught in a blanket, ané last of all the caretaker made the des- perate jump and he also was caught. They were taken to St. Michael’s Hos- pital. They are all injured, but the doctors think there is a chance of their recovering. The flames ate through the block south of Wellington street, burning the large estab- lishment of Dunnett & Co. Next the Corti- cello silk warehouse vas consumed. Brere- ton & Co., manufacturers’ agent$; Boisseau & Co., wholesale clothing, and R. Darling, wholesale woolens, were the next victims. The flames then leaped across the street to the south side of Wellington and de- stroyed Hart & Riddell’s printing establish- ment and badly scorched Wylde, Grassett & Co.’s dry goods house. ‘At this time !t was feared that the whole southern part of the city would be destroy- ed, and telegrams were sent to Hamilton asking for assistance,but before they start- ed the request was countermanded, as a deluging rain storm set in and beat down the fire more effectively than the hose and revented the flames from spreading. The joss is enormous. Mr, Turner, premier of Victoria, has de- cided not to resign, as a result of the de- feat of the government on the proposition to reduce the salaries of members of the legislative assembly and public officials. ANGRY AT CORRESPONDENTS Japanese Believe That They Have Abused Their Privileges. The Absorbing Topic of Discussion iy the Port Arthur Scandal—What in Said at Tokio. The steamship Tacoma arrived at Vic- toria, B. C., yesterday afternoon with the following Yokohama advices: TOKIO, December 25.—The absorbing sub- ject of discussion in Japan is the disclosure of the Port Arthur scandals. Very deep feeling has been excited in all classes by the manner in which the excesses of the Japanese troops were first made public in this country. The occurrences at Port Arthur are profoundly lamented. It is ad- mitted that the good name of the country has been disgraced, and the knowledge that the blow was self-inflicted makes it none the easier to bear. The hope is universally expressed that there will be no further lapse from the high standard which the people were proud of, and which they be- lieved would be redeemed by future actions, Foreigners in Japan have united to set forth the distressing facts in their worst aspect. The Japanese have been taunted with a false pretense of civilization and a return to barbarism until populer indigna- tion has been goaded to the utmost. First News From Port Artha The earliest detailed accounts of the Port Arthur misdeeds were brought from the seat of war by four foreign newspaper cor- respondents, who, desiring to send their dispatches at the earliest moment, were given transportation as soon as a steamer could be spared for this and other pur- poses. One of these correspondents, Thom- as Cowan, representing the London Times and the China Mail, stopped at Hiroshima, where several cabinet ministers were in at- tendance upon the emperor. To Viscount Matsu he related everything he had witnessed and telegraphed the same news to his journals. His report was that the sight of the Japanese corpses, horribly desecrated, had enraged the excited victors beyond control of their officers; that the town had consequently been pillaged and practically every Chinaman in it killed, to- gether with a few women, included by ac- cident, and that many Chinese bodies were stripped, hacked and dismembered. Viscount Matsu expressed intense sur prise and grief, and was unwilling to be- eve what he heard. He announced that an investigation would be made. He show- ed no disposition to interfere with the cor- respondent’s duty, and the reports were telegraphed December 1. ‘During the second week in December ob- scure references to atrocities alleged to have been committed by Japanese troops began to appear in one of the English newspapers published in Yokohama. The accusations produced little impres- sion at the outset, but when they assumed circumstantial shape it was evident that they were based upon intelligence lieved to be wholly trustworthy. Their persistent repetition made it neces- sary for the Associated ad ent to ask for full information from the government. An answer was received to the effect that the facts were at the dis- posal of the American prees whenever ap- plied for, but with the understanding that until an official inquiry should be concluded no premature betrayal of the fact should be made in Japan. At this juncture came the first indica- tion that the subject was attracting atten- tion in America. The New York World tcok measures to obtain from the Japanese government, through an independent chan- nel, an explanation of the alleged mas- sacres. In obedience to the World's re- quest a declaration of the government's pesition was. telegraphed, the sender being igncrant that any previous statement had becn forwarded. The government's atti- tude was further set forth in a_message to the Associated Press. Much Agitation in Japan. By this time much agitation had been created in Japan, the charges in the Yoko- hama journal befcre mentioned having been more than once renewed on the au- thority of eye-witnesses. The Japanese newspapers had expressed a strong disbe- lief in the publications that Japanese sol- diers disgraced themselves, upon which the direct testimony of Messrs. Creelman and Villiers, correspondents, was brought forward. The former authorized a series of very damaging accusations, repeated through several issues of Yokohama pa- pers, and alleging an uninterrupted suc- cession of butcheries for three days after the fall of Port Arthur, accompanied by equally positive assertions from Villiers, who declared he indorsed Creelman’s ac- counts. The people look upon the foreign press and its representatives as their active foes. They are quite unaware that leading New York newspapers, prompted by a desire to deal justly with all, took unusual pains to obtain statements directly from the government. They see only what has hap- pened here and they judge accordingly. ‘Their resentment wili pass in time, but not soon. The war correspondents do not consider that they were bound to withhold their un- pleasant news from the Yokohama papers, and the newspaper that published the ud- ings has had no purpose of overstepping what it conceives to be the proper bound- aries of journalism, but a great flame of national wrath has been kindled, and it is desirable that American readers should learn precisely how it originated. With re- spect to the undenying factor—disorders at Port Arthur—public sentiment is sound and wholesome. Whether it will declare itself as promptly and energetically as it might have done but for the angry channel into which the feeling of the community has been directed, is a question. Upon questions of actual occurrences the foreign correspondents here are divided. In the conclusions drawn they are less unit- ed. The American writer has written against the Japanese race. He has done this with every appearance of sincerity. It is not expected that any formal expression of the government's opinion as to the methods employed by some of the foreign journalists will be heard. Informal and un- official opinions are heard loudly enough on all sides. They are, indeed, so vigorously proclaimed in clubs, in committee rooms of houses of parliament, in the sanctuary, in the departments and in leading literary societies that no suppression of them would be possible. Correspondents Abuse Privileges. Correspondents are condemned not for telling everything that they saw, how- ever, appalling, but for alleged abuses of their privilege such as would not be prac- ticed-in any western country and for per- versions of truth calculated to bring un- raerited shame upon the Japanese nation. The abuse of privilege is held to be that these visitors sought and received permis- sion to follow the army for the purpose of supplying their journals at home with authentic war news, and although knowing that a certain newspaper published in Yokohama under extra territorial protec- tion is unfriendly to this country, they have nevertheless hastened to supply it with material for working harm in its own way. It was not, the critics said, to enable them to efford assistance and en- couragement to an enemy of Japan on her own soil that these strangers were given opportunity to pursue their avocation advantageously. ‘The carelessness alleged is found in such assertions as that an entire peaceful pop- ulation was massacred when it is now indisputably proven that the peaceful pop- ulation fled before the attack and has since largely returned to its habitation, the persons slaughtered having been main- ly Chinese soldiers in disguise. The per- version of truth is said to lie in statements like that which represents correspondents as deserting the army in a body because they were horrified by the spectacles of bloodshed and compelled to leave their duty because they could not countenance by their preserce the wickedness of Japan embodied in the crimes of her army, when, in fact, they came away by prearrange- ment to post their letters, having previ- ously announced their intention to start as soon as Port Arthur was taken. Ths Japanese people believe that wwf have been treated ungsnerously and wi wanton indifference to their keenest sen- sibilities; not for love of truth, but from a reckless ambition to achieve sensational triumphs, and they mean to ventilat their grievance broadly in thelr own land if they cannot make themselves elsewhere.
