He said: “If neither Ger- many nor France will take American pork or beef except with a government certifin- cation as to its wholesomeness, why should the United States take edibles or beverages from them without requiring likewise gov ernment certification of their absolute purity and wholesomeness?'" At the Btate department the attitude of the German government respecting our cat- tle is regarded as the natural and proper outcome of the strong representations made by Minister Runyon. The negotiations had reached a point where each government was content to rest its contentions upon questions of fact; first, whether or not there Were genuinie cases of Texas fever among the cattle imported into Germany from * the United States, and second, | whether or not the disease can be communi- | cated to German cattle. If, as stated in the | dispatch, the German' government has so | far receded from its first position—justity- | ing absolute exclusion of American cattle | without sonable proof upon these im- portant points—then the State department officials feel that our cattle shippers have little to fear and that the n govern- en has nssumed n e attitude and one which is likely 1 result the removal of the emt - N Common Sense Should be used In attempting to cure that very disagreeable disease, catarrh.

YOKOHAMA, Oct gle, via 8 Francisco, Nov. 7.)—Since the sailing of the last American steamer the war has been devold of exciting Incident in Japan. Public attention has been absorbed in the proceedings of the extra ses: of Parliament, which closed two days ago after passing legislation sanctioning the war, ex- horting the government to spare no eftort for the realization of the and pledging the cordial support of the a; and navy. The Nichini, newspaper, semi- official, announces authority that the emperor has sanctioned a \.r expenditure of 44,202,497 yen for the army and 16,704,467 yen for the navy. The government has made 23,388,836 yen, leaving nearly 87,000,000 yen yet available. English newspapers in Japan have published a statement that the Japanese government has tendered an apology to Great Britain on account of the Kow Shing affair, and promised to pay an in demnity of $75,000, The correspondent of the Associated press is authorized to give an absolute denial to the story. Most of the Chinese prisoners captured at Phyong-Yang have been brought to Japan and distributed in various parts of the country. Most of the prisoners were conducted to the Red Cross society hos- pitals. They had expected to be tortured and bulchered. Instead, they were thor- oughly washed, greatly fo the astonishment of the majority, given clean apparel and sup- plied with wholesome food, on recelving which they shed tes profusely. After three days of good treatment in the hospita many of them could scarcely be recognized as the same beings, and the majority of them are now anxlous to be allowed to remain in Japan. Reports from China state that the remnants of Admiral Ting's fleet have been patched up and are nearly ready to try their fate again with the sea, but ominous mes- sages are going to and from Port Arthur to the effect that if they venture forth it must be without proper provision of shot and shell for the big guns. So great has been the ras cality of high officlals that the vast quan- tities of ammunition which were supposed to be stored at the naval stations have about given out Definite news is at last received concerning the two Japanese students who were ar- rested as spies in Shanghal and surrendered to the Chinese by the consul general of the United es in_obe to instructions from Secretary Gresham. On October 8§ they were decapitated at Nankin by order of the viceroy in the presence of all the high officials of that city and of a mab, which kept shrieking “Kill the foreign devils from the moment the condemned men ap- peared upon the execution ground until their heads fell. That the native authorities of Shanghai are disposed to repeat ceedings as often as they can is shown in attempts to get possession of Japanese trav- clers on the same pretext. Toward the end of last month they sent a body of guards on board an English ship and without a warrant selzed a passenger on his way home to Yokohama, alleging that they acted with the knowledge and consent of the British consul general—an assertion which has not been denied, and which gains some color from the indifference of the British local offi- clals to the fact that two other stcamers under their flag have been , unlawfully boarded by Chinese soldiers and their Japa- nese passengers brutaily maltreated. Th outrages occurred many wecks ago, and far as Js_known no reparation has heen- ex- acted.

Escorted by Fuaithful Cossacks They Are Taken to the Church. LIVADIA, Nov. 7.—The massive gilded cof- fin containing the remains of Czar Alexander I was removed to the Byzantine church yesterday, There the body of the late czar will lie in state until tomorrow. At 6 o'clock In the evening the Cossacks, who had been acting as the imperial body guard, at- tired in their long tunics with gold facings, took up their positions along the cypres:- strewn route from the palace, all carrying 1ghted torches, making a weird scene. The procession of white-robed clergy then emerged fiom the church and formed in line across the road. The bells began to ring soon after- ward. The sound of children singing hymns was heard in the distance, Then through the darkness the glare of the torches carried by the guards marching on either side of the coffin could be perceived. A sharp word of command, “present arms,” broke the solemn silence, and amid the muffied rolling of many ‘drums, the procession entered the church path, headed by sailors carrying lanterns end banners and followed by the choir of children, dressed in white surplices. They were followed by the clergy and then came the coffin, surmounted by the imperial crown and borne by Cossacks. Behind the coflin’ were the czar and cezarina, who was deeply veiled; the Grand Dukes Sergius and Vladimir, the queen of Greece and Princess Alix of Hesse, the princess of Wales and the duchess of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, the children belonging to the imperial and royal families and the high court and military officers.

Some time ago he went to Providence, R. I, where he secured the services of an expert in explosives named Cumeron, employed at the Hotchkise gun works. Cumeron was on the Nictheroy dur- ng the Brazilian revolt. Moore also in ested John Wilde, an inventor, and the trio sailed for China undér assumed names. They have been arrested by the Japanese military authorities at Yokchama According to the report recelved by the Japenese minister here and communicated to the State depart- ment, documents were found on their persons howing they had agreed to blow up the Japanese navy in eight weeks by the use of torpedoes, All three are held as prisoners Since the consolidation of the German and American typographical unions Hugo Miller, former German secretary, has removed to Indianapolis.

This is tho first strong organization that has undertaken that radical step. It was seid in New York that eighteen of the smaller cloak manufacturers, employing 600 hands, have acceded to the demands of the strikers for weekly wages.

Central orgenizations, .. which will Include local unions of metal workers, will be formed in all cities. One of the few unions which originated from a strike, and which has been success- ful in spite of such origin, is the Amalga- mated Society of Engineers. It was or- ganized in 1850 during a strike for nine hours, and at present it is one of the strong- est of trades unions. In its treasury are more than $1,000,000. The Morelsnd tin plate works at Jones- boro, Ind., which were shut down ten days ago on account of a strike of the workers, who refused to accept less wages, resumed. The strikers were victorious, but the com- pany announces that they will be unable to keep the plant in operation, and will close down as soon as their orders are filled. W.
