National Press Association. 8ax Fraxoisco, March 2V.—Ad- vices arrived by the City of Tokio from Hong Kong to the 24th of Feb- ruary, and from Yokahama to the 8th of March. JAPAX, Hitherto foreigners who have suc- eored Japanese ships in distress, or saved peisons from wrecks, have been presented with sums in specie or let- ters of thanks. forward rewards in the form of valu- able Jn}une-e manufactures, such as ‘bronge,;iron or porcelain flower vases, or other ornaments. This scheme is two-motived. First, strangers prefer these articles to money, and second, the sale of Japanese manufactures abrond may be thus indirectly ex- tended. Tt is rumored that native banks and eommercial firms cannot enlist for- agners among their sharcholders. No partnership has yet been covertly es- tablished between Japanese and Euro- or Americans, Of late, how- ever, the Yokohama foreign chamber of commerce has addressed one of the western ministers, stating the case, adding that many Japanese mercan- tile men are anxious that the prohibi- " tory regulation should be annulled. A sorious gale doing considerable damage is reported to have wvisited Nagasakie on the 18th of February. (gf late the Pekiug government has made considerable purchases of arms in Japan and several officials on board the Chinese man-of-war Yu Yune, at Yokohama, are now buying in Tokio such -veapons as ha.e been disposed of by the war department to native merchants. It is mentioned that the manufact- ure of woolen cloth in Japan is so much improved that home made is no longer inferior to imported stuff. Therefo:e, from the beginning of next year the uniform of soldiery, now made of kokura, (a Japanese thick cotton oloth,) will be of domestic woolen. i i:lkur offenses are reported to b.l.::“c ] ino!eue among the soldiery in the capital, «en men on an average being tried by court-martial every day. i.gnrian riots are reported in Yun- sharia and Kageto, villages in the province of Buzen, The peasantry complains that money is scarce and that rice simultaneously depreciates in value to the great distress of pro- ducers. It is reported that the Korean gov- ernment applied to Japan for 20,000 stands of rifles of the Murata pattern, Native papers state that the recent fire in Masagecho, Yokahama, de- stroyed 110 houses and,did consider- able damage to more, and was the cause of injury to several persons, Adequate subacriptions having been raised, the Lippon Railway company will commence the construction of the line between Tokiyo and Mayebashi shortly. Locusts yearly work great havoc on the cultivated lands of Hokkaido. Last year they destroyed crops valued at 100,000 yen. The author.ies have under consideration the propriety of appropriating about 300,000 yen to take precautions against raviges this ear, Great distress 15 reported among the Islanders of Osnima in conso- quence of the failure of the sugar crop, on the sale of which they depend for the necessaries of existence, They have nothing to support life but pounded sago palm mixed with a few sweot potatoes when these are procur- able. CHINA, The North China Daily News in an article describing the Kaipi coal mines says that by March of the pr ent year an output of between one and two hundred tons of coal per day may be made and states that as the Chinese hewers learn their work this may be increased to a thousand or twelve hundred tons per day. The fiovarmnpnt of Chang is now engazed in the construction of a mas- sive stone bridge over the Tai Kong situated about half way between Tam- sui and Taiwan Koo, The bridge is to be constructed entirely of granite and will be considerably over & mile in length, The cost of the gigantic un- dertaking is estimated at somewhat over $1,000,000, The emperor's prayers for snow having been hitherto unanswered, he he has commissioned a fresh batch of princes and high officers to bring their wfluence to bear on heaven. It is hoped that this will have the desired effect ere long. Last year it was re- marked at Peking that the more his majesty prayed for a snow the more frequent became the dust storms, so that at last the Chingse began to wish he would desist. An armed attack was made recently on a village on the outskirts of Chi- nese territory opposite Shaukiwan by a band of masked robbers who man- aged to carry off about six hundred dollars worth of property and six dead or wounded men, the villagers having made a determined resistance. It is rumored that a telegram has The authorities have decided to give such persons hence- | three dollars, owed by Durnell to. " has been purchased by Commodore Without further delay warrants were issued on both these persons and they were made prisoners of the United States on the charge of conspiracy in attempting to defraud the govern- ment revenue. The arrests were made in the most philosophical man- ner and neither of the prisoners ex- pressed any great surprise at the time. The arrests temng accomplished, the ofticers then produced authority to confiscate any correspondence or let- ters that might be on board which bore any relation to' seized opium or referred to any parties so far impli- cated in umuzgling it. Upon search- ing the mail bags a few letters were found which in the opinion of the officers may prove of serviee i developments to come about in the future. The steamer then proceeded on her way to this city with the deputy marshals and the prisoners on board, leaving the Corwin: to follow fin her wake. The prison- ers were conveyed to the county jail, where they were met by Joseph Ken- nedy, brother of the Kennedy ar- rested,and an attorney by the name of Towle, who is counsel for the claim- ants in the opium case. These two latter parties signified their impa- tience to have the prisoners released by immediately producing a certifi- cate of deposition of Wells Fargo & Co.’s bank of $10,000 as surety for them. The genuiness of the cortifi- cate being beyond question the two men were released in bonds of 85,000 each. Zeke Durnell's Death. Special to Tax Brk. 3 OapexN, Utah, March '27.—Yester- day, Bzekiel Durnell was killed at Park City by being shot by W. J. Wilson, known as “Tex.” The two men had a quarrel over the sum of Wilson, who had put the account into the office of the Ontario com- pany for collection. Both men were employed at the Ontario mill. Durnell advanced on Wilson, who warned him three times and then fired the ball, it entering the abdomen near the navel. Durnell walked about eighty feet to a dining-room and fell dead in the door. Wilson gave him- self up to the warshal and is held in custody. Durnell leaves a wife and one child. His remains were taken to Salt Lake to-day for inter- ment, Durnell was a resident of Omaha for many years and removed to Utah five years ago, being then en- gaged in the postal service on the Union Pacific.

Oonfession of One of the Parties Under Indictment, The Chicago & Alton Traim was Held Up by Jesse James Aided by S8ome of the Old Gang and a Number of Coun- try Boys. Afverwarde Jesse Beat the Rural Robbera Out of All the Swag. And Left Them to be Punished for the Crime. Kansas Crry, March 27.—John Land, one of the men engaged in the robbery of the Chicago & Alton train at Blue Cut, in this county, made a confession to the grand jury at Independence to-day, in substance as follows: Ho says that the first intimation that he had of the intended robbery was on the morning of the 7th of September last, the day upon which the deed was committed. Creed, Chapman and John Bugler went to him where he was at work digging a well, and broached the subjezt of the robbery. They asked him to join them,riut he at first declined, saying that he did not believe he could make any more money in the long run out of train robbing than he could by digging wells. They told him they would guarantee him more money than he could earn dig- ging wells and insisted that he should join them. He told them that he ad to go down to Glendale to geta new drill and would talk to them later in the day. He went to Glen- dale, where he was introduced to a man who was said to be Jesse James, d who told him of a plan to rob the in that night. He then agreed to join them that night and esaw no more of them during the day. He did not know who would be 'in the party, excepting the two men who he had first talked with and the man in- troduced to him as Jesse James, until the entire party collected near the Blue Cut to rob the train. He says that when all had collected there were twelve men present and that of these five belonged to the old gang and the rest were boys from the neighborhood. He presented the authorities with the names of all the seven neighborhood boys whoare now in the country, but that two of them skipped out early in the game, and he supposes have joined the old gang who left them that night after the robbery. Land states that all those ‘under arrvest, in fact all the green- horns concerned in'th:h nflnls;, were mply f eons for the ol s .Jl’l‘;}m#ini'flle old mels.l:!r‘- of the old gang who entered the ex- press car and went through the train, and that all the country boys did was to keep up the racket on the outside. After the robbery the entire party went into the woods a short distance from the track, where the leader, who had all the ‘“‘swag” in their pos- session said to the boys: ‘‘Boys, we haven’t got time to divide, they are too hot after us, and we didn’c get the money we expected to, any- how; but we will all meet on the right fork of the Blue next Wednes- day night (just one week from the night of the robbery) and we'll di- vide there.” With that the- five (meaning the old gang) mounted their horses and rode away with the booty in their possession, while Land and his companions dispersed for their homes no richer than when they started out. Before the night arrived which had been set for the divide, the most of them were safely jailed, and the others were fleeing the coun- try as rapidly as possible. Land de- clares his belief that the robbery was put up job, deliberately planned by James and his gang for the double purpose of securing the plunder and getting the country boys into it in or- der to divert the attention of the au- thorities from their own operations, Ho seoms to bo in great dread of Jesse James and his pals and always refers to them as the “old ang,” and saying with a nod and a wink, ‘‘you know who T mean.” Land is a beard- less boy in appeafance, not even 19 years of age. His family are emi- nently respectable and he always bore a good reputation until this affair came out. Land was remanded to jeil until to-morrow when the trial of Chapwan and Bugler will bogin, In the criminal court this afternoon when the docket was called Land’s case cawe first and the prosecuting attorney asked that it be put at the foot of the docket, which shows that Land is to be used us a witness, The next cases called were those of Bugler and Chapman, Bugler's attorneys annouuced that they were ready for trial and the venire of twenty-four jurors was sworn to answer questions. 'he court then adjourned until to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock, when Bugler's trial will be proceeded with, — e The Defense of a Blackmailer: Natlonal Associated Pross.

Auvstin, March 87, —The special re- port of the commissioner of the gen- eral land office of ‘Texas shows that during the eighteen months ending March 1, 1882, surveys have been filed in the office covering 1,106,487 acres; patents have been issued cov- ering 474,476 aocres; cortificates to railroads and individuals issued cov. ering 20,400,480 acres. The esti- mated public domain subject to loca- tion on August 1, 1880, was 16,301, - 810 acres, being over five million acres less than the certificates issued call for. Since ‘March 1st cettificates have been issued that will increase the deficiency to sév(m million acree, The commissioner recommends that the Texas Pacifio and Panhandle re- serve be thrown open for location, which -will satisfy all outstand- ing certificates held in all parts of the United States, and that no more certificates be issued and the public domain of the state be declared absorbed. The lands set aside for public free schools amount to thirty million acres, with a minimum price filed by the state at 60 cents per acre, which will probably be advanced to oilu. three and five dollars with a liberal reduction to actual settlers, ' The commissioners recommend that'a lease be permittéd to cattle men, and they be confined to the territory wast of the following line: Beginning at the northeast cor- ner of Lipscomb county, thence south with the one hundredth meridian to the Red river to the northwest corner of Bardinorn county; thence south and west to include Stonewall, Bor- der and Marton counties; thence east to the northeast sornsr of Tom Green county; thence aouth with the east line of Tom Green and Crockett to the northwect corner of Kimble; thence with the north and east lines of Kim- ble, Kerr, Bandérn, Revolde, Laval la, La 8alle, MoMillen, Duval and Muces counties to the Gulf of Mexico.
