WOULD BE A PENAL OUFE Amerlcan Cltizens Forbidden from Fighting for China or Jupan WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—Several hun- dred letters containing tenders of service to the Japanese government in the present war with China have reached the legation here. They come from nearly every part of the United States. One of the latest was from an ex-confederate at Greenville, Miss., offer- ing to raise a battalion, and even a regiment of men, if d:sired, at that place and New Orleans. Another was from the foreign legution of Cleveland, O. A taird came from an individual who was willing to raise @ company of picked sharpshooters, and a fourth was from a person who had some torpedo device he was willing to part with for a consideration. Such communications @s the last mentioned are turned over to the paval attache of the legation to do with as he deems best. To the others the legation officials return polite d:clinations. It is a enal offense for Americans to serve either n the Chinese or Japanese service while the two nations are at war, so that the lat- ter government cannot under auy circum- stances accept the offers. SHANGHAI WILL NOT BE BLOUKADED, Jupan Promises Not to Interfere with the Legitimate Commerce of that Port. LONDON, Aug. 6.—In the House of Coms mons today Sir Edwin Grey, in reply to a question from Mr. Gourley, a prominent ship owner, said that Japan had promised that no warlike operations should be undertaken agalnst Shanghal and its approaches on the condition that China does not obstruct the approaches to Shanghal. Japan contends that the powers have no right to interfere with neutral vessels except in the event of an effective blockade, due notice of whick should be given, or In the case of contra- bands of war. It would be dangerous for Great Britain to define by a general state- ment what s and what Is not contraband of war.

JAPAN'S NEW M1 Not the Man First Ameriean Colleginte ¢ ASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—Immediately the announcoment of the recall of Gozez Tetenoe as Japanese minister to this country, It was stated that Mr. Ken- teroa Kantaroe had been appointed to this position. This was an error, due, It Is supposed, to a mistake in the transmission of th ne. A telegram was received at the Japanese legation today announcing the appointment of Mr. Shinicharo Kurino, chiet of the diplomatic bureau of the department for foreign affairs, to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenfpotentiary to the United States, Mr. Kurino was one of the students who were sent to this country by the Japan- se government as soon as that government decided upon the policy of sending young men abroad to pursue the course of study in colleges and universities of Europe and America. Some twenty years ago, when Kurino has thoroughly mastered the English language, he devoted himself to the study of law in the Cambridge law school at Harvard. Subsequently, upon his re turn to Japan, he received an appointment in the department for forcign affairs, where he especially dealt with matters invoiving legal questfons. In the summer of 1501, when certaln changes were introduced in the organization of the department for for- ign affairs, ho was inted chief of the diplomatic burcau. Within the last three years many important questions have arfsen in the relations of Japan, including the abrogation of the consular jurisdiction clause of the treaty concluded with Portugal, the cla against the Corean government for damage accruing from certain all:ged ar- bitrary actions of the local authoritics of that country, and the present difficuiiy, cul- minating in the declaration of war befween Japan and China. In all these questions Mr. Kurino has figured prominently, and he has been a favorite among the mefubers of the diplomatic corps. Another w. after Mr. RUSSIA SRIN THE PIE.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—Passengers arriving today by the steamer Venezuela from Ven- ezuelan ports bring news that the revo- lutionary fecling throughout Venezuela seems to be increasing. The presence.of three ex- presidents at Curacoa gives color to the rumor that a general feelipg in favor of an uprising exists. The people as a general thing are discontented and as times are rather hard at present the discontented ones blame President Crespo for the condition of affairs. A number of the states consider themselves aggrieved, saying Crerpo has dizeriminated in the matter of fwprovements and that several states have been benefited by public works which the others need- ing them equally as much have been denied. The coffee and cocoa crops throughout the country are said to have been good this sea- son. . Ignorance the Koot of All Evil. ROME, Aug. 6.—A papal encyclical letter addressed to the Brazilian bishops will be published this evening. His holiness urges the bishops to educate and enlighten the peo- ple with all the means at their command. Ignorance, he says, isth e cause of the evils of the day.

MORE LIKE AN AGREEMENT | Senate and House Conferees Nearer Together When They Adjouraed Last Night. APPROACHING EACH OTHER BY DEGREES of the Conference Not Call for a Caucus— Wil Go Right Along with N Their Work. mbers WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—The democratic tarift conferees were in session again today at 11 o'clock and resumed the work of try ing to reach an agreement on the points of difference. When some of the members of the committce came out of the conference room at 12 o'clock they stated that no progress had been made and that to all appearances the situation was the same as it had been for the past wee Secretary Carlisle had recently been called frequent consultation by individual members of the conference committee. e called on Saturday night by a sub committee of the conference. He made certain suggestions concerning the adminis- trative features of some of the proposed compromise features and it is understood that since the suggestions were received the conference has been considering their bear- ing upon upon the questions at issue. Th coal and fron ore questions have been taken up with a view to reaching an understand- ing upon them, but progress has been slow It is understood that the senate cor ferees have indicated a willingne: to make a concession in the way of time that the duty shall continue, but not to lessen the amount of duty provided in either case. The house members lave not indicated a Qisposition to accept this concession and ure understood to be holding out for the terms of the house bill on these items. LOUISIANIANS' DEMANDS, The Louisiana senators are demanding the continuatiion of at least a part of the sugar Lounty for the present year, but the prospeet of the success of this demand does not ap- pear to be bright, and there is an increase of talk of the passing of the sugar bill in the event of the failure of the tariff bill, which is probably intended largely to bring the Louisfana senators into line. When the tariff conferees took a recess for lunch today two distinct views were presented. The house conferees and the men with whom they conversed seemed to think that an agreement might be reacled scon. The senate conferees those, senators with whom they advise scaned to think that the prospects were not s0 Dbright and that an ultimate disagree- ment would be reported. It was also stated that an end must be reached within two days and poither an agrcement ir report of disagreement made Coal and fron ore were the articles in dis- pute, the conference having been trans- ferred from sugar, which has so long en- geged the attention of the conferees. The contest over these articles is very stubbornly made on both sides. The coal and iron ore questions were considered today almost to the exclusion of every other topie, and the discussion pro- ceeded upon a bas’s of the duty provided on these articles by the senate amendments, with the limitation of the time the duty shall continue to four years. The house conterees held out stubbornly for the entire recossion of the senate from its amend- ments, and there appearing no possibility of reaching an understanding the senate con- ferees withdrew to separate rooms, leaving the house members to themselves. The day closed with a request on the part of the house conferees that they be given until tomorrow to decide upon-a line of action on the coal and iron ore questions, and the re- quest was granted. It 18 now understood that the house members have agreed posi- tively to accept or reject the senate position tomorrow, but that it is possible they may submit a counter proposition with the hope it will be acceptable to the senators. A member of the conference tonight said that with the coal and iron ore questions dis- posed of, there woull be, he thought, little moro time remaining to reach an agree- ment on the entire bill. He admitted there was a virtusl understanding on all the other schedules, Including sugar. He also sald the developments 80 far made indicated wide differences on coal and fron ore and they had nct been of a character to {ndicate an agreement at all. Still he was hopeful that common ground might be found on these two articles. The interview given out to- night by Senator Voorhees as the official head ®of the conference may change the entiro aspect of the procecdings tomorrow, and it is not beyond the range of proba- bilities that it will prove to be the torch that will set off an explosion in elther the com- mittee or the senate tomorrow. into was DEFENDED BY GROSVENOR. Judge Ricks Finds a Chumplon to Stand Up for Him in the House. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—In the house to- day a bill was passed granting to the Du- luth & Winnipeg Railroad company a right of way through the Chippewa and White Earth Indisn reservations. Mr. Johnscn, demcerat of Ohlo, as a mat- ter of privilege, presented the niemorial of the Central Labor union of Cleveland, pray- ing for the impeachment of Augustus J. Ricks, United States judge of the northern district of Ohio. The memorial recited the charges against Judge Ricks (already pub- lished), alieging misappropriation of funds amounting to $1,155, and other ‘“‘crime: misdemeanors and crookedne for which impeachment proceedings were prayed for, Mr. Grosvenor, republican of Ohio, stated that In his opinion the charges arose out of a misunderstanding. He knew nothing personal and did not want to interferc vestigation, but he thought it would “be a matter of profound surprise to the bar of Ohio if any stain was found on Judge Ricks.” The memorial was referred to the cammittee on judiciary. The petition of the Central Labor union of Cleveland Is a voluminous document giv- ing in detail the charges that the judge b tween September 19, 1889, and December 27 1801, converted to his own use various sums aggregating $1, It charges that th judge “has shown himself to be a person wholly unfitted to properly perform the du- ties and maintain the dignity and character of said judicfal office, that he is an unsafe and dangerous person to be entrusted and that the public welfare requires that he be removed.” The seal of the Central Labor union is on the document and it is signed by Robert Bandlaw and Robert Barthelo as commit- tee. Coples of the records of the court giving in detail the sums alleged to have been mis- appropriated are appended Mr. Johnson has requested the committe: to give it attention as soon possible.

The resolution offered on August 1 by Mr, Chandler looking to the investigation of the Dominfon Coal eompany of Nova Scotla, and the substitute offered by Mr. Mills In the way of an addition to the original reso- lution providing that a special committee of five should be directed to report to the senate whether any member of congress fs or was interested in any‘company engaged in mining coal in any of the states of the United States or any railroad company engaged In trans- porting coal which would come into compe- tition with the Dominfon Coal company, and whether its removal would reduce the price of coal to consumers and what section of the coantry would be benefited by its retention, came up. Discussion arose between Mr. Mills and Mr Chandier as to whether the old “sugar’ committee should be entrusted with this investigation or whether a new committee shculd be appointed. Mr. Mills favored the retention of the old commitiee, because, as he said, it was honest and had recently made an exhaustive investigation and had reported that the charges made against senators had not beesn sustained Is that the reason that the senator from Texas favors this committee?” asked Mr. Chandler. Mr. Mills denied that he was influenced by any such motives and expressed his willing- ness to have a new committee appointed’ it Mr. Chandler preferred. PROSPECT OF PBACE. ‘When the democratie conference adjourned today there seemed 1o be a better feeling among the conferees than at the close of the previous seseion. 'Members from both houses announced the committee had been working over the schedules and that progress was being made, but they did not indicate when a report would be reached, though some of the conferces expressed the opinion an agreement was in sight. ¥or a considerable portion of the day the senators were not in the conference room, but it was stated no significance was to be attached to that fact, as they were working toward an agreement. These senators oc sionally repaired to the committee room of Senator Vest and sometimes were in consul- tation with democratid managers in the room of the committee on appropriations. Considerable surprise was expressed by the conferees when they learned that a call for a house caucus had been issued and it evidently was very distasteful to the house members, who had felt they were beginning to see an agreement. Mr. Montgomery. said the caucus would make no difference 5o far as he was concerned and he would continue the work he was engaged in unless some ac- tion, very different from that which he an- ticipated, would be taken by the caucus. He sald that while the caugus was in progress the conferees would be at work. The bill for the deportation of anarchists then came up and ‘Mr. Hill explained its provisions. Unless some action was taken by this government, such as was now be- fore the senate, this; country, he said, would soon be the dumping ground for the anarch- ists of the world. It was not intended to e the belief in anarchy a crime, and therefore no attempt had been made to define anarchy. He . favared the provision of the senate bill for {nspection by treasury agents instead of by consuls and was sure n one could attribute his attitude on this scction to a desire to secure more pitronage for the secretary of the treasury. There wero no politics in the bill, and he favored :Lmlw ause it wasbefter than the house bill. § Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts expressed the belief that both bills were inadequate for the purpose of restricting Jmmigration, but he was anxlous to see some restriction placed on Immigration, no matter how slight it might be. Mr. Palmer pointed out the dificulty of dealing fairly with the question and the danger of doing injustice to the harmless socialists while protecting ourselves against the danger of anarchists. He asked Mr. Hill whether the bill would apply to undesirable persons already in the country and Mr. Hill replied it would. The discussion then took on a legal aspect and hinged upon the right of a country to protect itself against un- desirable aliens. Mr. Hill pointed out the moderation of the pending bill as compared with the act recently passed by the English parliament.’ Mr. Kyle of South Dakota asked him to more accurately define the term anarchist, for there were, he said, peaceable and learned people In Boston .who held it was possiblo for people to become so highly civ- ilized as to live together without laws and therefore, according to the usual definition, they were anarchists. Mr. Hill replied they were at liberty to have this belief, but If they tried to over- turn the laws, with the purpose of putting their belief to the test, then they became dangerous. After some further debate and the adoption of some amendments the bill was passed and Messrs. Hill, Faulkner and Chandler were appointed conferees. At 5:30 the senate went into executive session and at 5:45 adfourned. Some Judicial Nominations.

The voting was slow and for resason the vote was greatly lighter in 1802 The negroes did not cut much figure, as they elther did not vote at all or voted almost solidly for Oates in southern and middle Alabama, while in ncrthern Alabama & majority were for Kolb. The white republi- cans were for Kolb almost to a man. Sev- eral disturbances occurred in this county. At Dessemer the Kolbites eaptured the polls and many dem-crats were prevented from voting ay on the part of the managers. Two Kolbite managers were arrested for perjury at Brockside, where all the ballots were. stolen last night, and no new ones could be had until this afternoen, In this county (Jefferson) the democrats lost heavily on aecount of labor troubles, and the result is_in doubt.

Chairman Taubeneck of the popu- list national committee, about midday, while the voting was going on, but results’ could be known with no certainty, rec:lved the following dispatch from the chairman of the populist state committee of Alabamas “We will carry every county in the northe ern part of the state except one, We will carry Jefferson county, including Birming- ham. If they Jdo not repeat the frauds of 1892 in the sixteen black belt counties, we will carry the state by at least 30,000 mas jority.
