Preas sus. pensions are enforced at the slightest sign of an In ftations of editorfal critictsm. Prominent rad fcal leaders are arrested and brought to trial for endeavoring to organize demonstrations hostile to the government throughout the em- pire. Count Ito appears to have definitely re- solved that he will not resign his post in obedlence to the demand of the populace and he can probably keep his enemies at a dis tance until the meeting of Parliament in No- vember. Then the real struggle will begin, Count Inouyo has reported the results of hif experience as an envoy to Corea and is ready to formulate his opinion with re to the future policy of Japan In Corea. He will probably advocate a continuance of thi government, but it is not certain this advic will suit the present disposition of the Japa- nese ministers of state, some of whom are beginning to look upon the regeneration of Corea as a hopeless undertaking. The Japa- nese people adhere to the conviction that the feeble monarchy must not be abandoned and would denounce the relinquishment of the original project as a surrender to Russian dictation. Count In 0 de dents are to blame feeling in Corea The toward the natives, he t ble, and he does not wond the Chines are better liked. As to the Corean govern ment, he has little fault to find with its re luctance to institute speedy reforms. Home Minister , who has been accused of hos- tility to the Japancse, is praised by Inouyo as having done nothing but his duty in re ing extravagant demands for impossible pr leges. Reports lleague lared for the Ja rest all the existing ill- Japanese simply in- says, I8 are current of conciliatory ad- vances on the part of Russia toward Japan There ar: strong reasons for believing the goverriment at St. Petersburg has instructed its representative in Toklo to address him- self to the task of allaying the irritation caused by the recent demonstration against the Japanese territorial scheme in Manchuria and to discuss plans for restoring cordial relations between the two nations. Russia 18 said to be willing to explain, in a friendly sense, her obections to Japanese expansion on the continent, and to give assurances that £he will not oppose the growth of the island empire in other directions, but will, on the contrary, regard such growth with satisfac- tion. Japan is requested to belleve that the Interests of her powerful neighbor would be materially served by ine consolidation of Japanese strength in the Pacific, and that if guarantees can be given that no interfer- ence will be attempted in Russia’s projects for the development of Siberia, an alliance may be formed on terms mutually beneficial. The proposal, semi-officlally conveyed, has occupied the ‘attention of the Japanese min- isters of state for several weeks past No definite Intelligence from the mission aries confined at Cheng Tu has been received. Whether the telegraph lines in the interior of the Gze-Chuan province are really broken or whether the authorities are interfering it is certain that no dispatches can be trax mitted. A report is circulated that the mem- bers of the American Baptist mission have escaped to Chung King, and confirmation of this news is eagerly awaited. The apathy of the Tsung Li in responding to ap- peals of forcign envoys for speedy action has compelled the representative of France to take @ decided step. By his orders four rench ships of war have started up the Yangtse Kiang river, with instructions to make a forcible demonstration at Nanking and to proceed to such extremities as the case may demand The lat st advices from Formosa state that all opposition to the Japanese occupation has subsided. A colored seaman of the United States ship Yorktown, named Bush, has been imprisoned at Nagasaki on a charge of murdering Japanese laborers. The Osaka mint is exclusively occupied in coining one-yen silver pleces, ot which 130,- 000 are produced daily. The object of this sudden and unusual output is unknown. The silver yen are never needed for domestie circulation in Japan. The Japanese consullate at Shanghal was reopened June 23. The consullates at other Chinese ports will be opened early in July. TERBIBLE CRINE UF CUBAN NEGROES KQl Two Men and Mistreat n Woman and Two Small Girls. HAVANA, July 12.—A terrible crime has been committed at Guanajayabo in the Guanajay tobacco district, about forty-five miles from this c Four burly negroes went to a grocery store at Guanajayabo and without a word overpowered the grocer and his brother-in-law and stabbed them to the heart. The negroes then rushed after the storekeeper's wife and three daughters, aged Tespectively 17, 6 and 4 years, with the in tentlon of assaulting them. The woman and her daughters made a desperate struggle shrieking wildly for help, but the negroes in flicted injuries upon all of their victims from which they died. The scoundrels then plundered the grocery store and disappeared Their crime was discovered by a white man of the country district, who, as soon as he saw the bodies of the vietims of the n started for Guanajayabo and placed the matter before the authoritie The countryman found that one of the little girls was still alive when he entered the store, and it was almost from her last breath that he discov- ered tho details of the crime. The inhabi- tants of the country around Guanajayaho end the police have started in pursuit of the four wretches, and it fs sald they will surely be cut to pleces If caught groes.

WASHINGTON, July 12.—The regulations of Germany regarding the im- portation into that country of American products have again been brought to the at tention of the Agricultural department in a r | report by European Agent John Mattes, jr., slon American evaporated or dried fruits in the German empire. Shippers of these fruits are given warning of the severe restrictions imposed by Germany, which the departmen views as commercial rather than hygienic and merely intended to shut out American trade. The report cites a recemt covert trial at Frankfort-on-the-Main to determine whether these dried apples, or ‘“ring apples,” were impure and injurious to_public heelth and subject to seizure under the provisions of the pure food law. Government experts testi- fled that they were sprinkied with a ting of acetate of zinc to give them a bright color and more inviting appearance. Apple 1| sprinkled, they claimed, brought on indiges- tion, dyspepsia and, in children, vomiting and ‘dlarrhoea. The department officials say they are con- fident that if any zinc is introduced in the fruits the amount is smail and cannot be In- jurious. It is denfed that the practice ex- d | ists here of drying the fruits on zinc plates as claimed by Germany, and the warning to discontinue the galvanized iron trays used for drying is intended to do away With any possibility of introducing zinc, and thus glv " | ing opportunity for forelgn criticiem on th: ¢ | score.

WASHINGTON, July 12—The secretary of the interior has requested the attorn general to instruct the district attorneys in Californla and Oregon to proceed criminally aguinst the trespassers on the forest reservi tions of the United States. Heretofore there has been some doubt among the attorneys what law such trespassers could be proecuted, but abundant authority s con- tained in a law passed in Mareh, 1875, which prescribes a fine of not over $500 and im d | prisonment of not over 12 menths for each trespass, The principal trespassers in the western states are the sheep and cattle men, who drive their herds on to the government lands and crush down or ‘burn the underbrush » | which holds back the melting snows of the spring, causing disastrous freshets, It s this source of damage that the department 1 | is desirous of putting an end to. Another class of timber trespassers, those in which the wood s actually stolen for purposes of use of sale, are more prevalent around the western great lakes than on the Pacific coast They are generally settled by civil suits for tha recovery of the manufactured value of the timber taken.

Mr. Graves had, by reason of public and private association. b-come closely acquainted with Mr. Cleveland, and enjoyed his friendship and esteem in a gratitylng degrez. When the wedding cards were sent to the then ex-president Mr. Graves accoms panied them with a letter, in which he paid tribute to the beauty and tenderness of the president’s own domestic life, and the in= fluence of this high testimonial on domestie life for the people. The answer came promptly in the exquisite letter which fol- lows: NEW YORK, July 2, 180.—John Temple ves, Rome, Ga.: W ved the card nvifation to your wedding a day or two and I am glad that your letter, re- v a few hours ago, me, on behalf of my dear wife and’ my to do more than formally notice the sion.

Since this tender theme has made us kinsmen, let me wish for you and the dear one who is to make your life doubly dear to you all the joy and happle ness vouchsafed to man You will, I know, appreciate that kind wishek can reach no greater sin and force than when my wife joinsyme in the fervent desire that you and your bride may enter upon and enjoy the sume felicity which has made our married life “one grand sweet song.” Yours truly WOVER CLEVELAND, A year or so ago Mr. Graves requested of the president permission to publish the letter for the sake of its influence on the home life ot the pecple, and Mr. Cleveland promptly replied that although the wording of the letter had passed from his recollection he would for this purpose freely submit to the delicacy and discretion of his friend.
