THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1895. FORMOSANS ARE FIRM Rebels Now Mistake the Clemency of Foes for Fear. DRASTIC MEASURES DUE. In a Short Time Japan Will Teach the Natives a Lesson. GREAT SPREAD OF THE CHOLERA | Thousands of Persons Dying Dally in Various Oriental Prov= inces. [Correspondence © United Press.] TOKIO, Jarax . 23 (V1A VANCOUVER, B. C., Sept. 3).—The pacification of For- mosa is proceeding slowly. It does not seem likely it a campaign on a large scale will be menced until the second half of September, when tne change of the monsoon will make it possible to land troops southwest of the island, so nts may be attacked in the drastic measures against hill tribes. At first it was a conciliatory attitude might insurgents to lay down their these semi-savage folks do not i clemency. They mistake it tever Japan does is bound to be in the eyes of some of the foreign hed in Yokohama, and while ers in Formosa itself, as well as the war correspondents with the army, unite in praising the clemency of the ipanese and in acknowledging that the measures now adopted are inevitable, critics in Japan, without any evidence to support their assertions, are endeavoring | to make ou) that Herod himself was a | saint compared with the Japanese com- | mander-in-chief, hay Prince Komatsu, ens to be one of the most refined and arted gentlemen that could be »und anywhere. There has been much talk of Japanese \ in a southerly direction. Ap- petite comes with eating and, having ac- quired Formosa, it has been predicted that the Phillipines also will soon be added to the Japanese empire. The Madnd Gov- ernment seems to have shared thisappre- hension, for it entered into negotiations with Japan and has just concluded a con- vention for delu ng the boundaries be- tween the two countries. The cholera has claimed 15,000 victims far in Japan, and has attacked 23,000. early 1000 new cases and 700 deaths occur daily in the forty-seven towns and districts where the disease has made itsappearance. Tt s most seriously affected are a and the town of Hiroshima, the former reporting 140 cases daily and the latter 120. These figuresare, neverthe- comparatively small when placed side le with returns of former epidemics. In China a far more terrible state of af- exists. Over 1500 persons are said to g every day in Peking, but, of course, that figure must be received with all reserve. The threatened Cabinet crisis in Japan has been averted by Count Ito’s accept. ance of the honors conferred on him his sovereign. This result was virtually ev declining a marquisate and the grand cordon of merit he would not only have played into the hands of his enemies, since resignation must have followed, but would also have involved the Emperor in tical in Cabinet c: , though averted by nt Ito’s action, has certainly givena fresh impulse for the development of party nment in Japan. So long as the clan esmen held firmly together, no politi- side the Government could bly develop strength to assume the onsibilities of administration. The so- n statesmen of Japan belong to hree principal coteries—namely Choshu and Hizen. Formerly four of these coteries, the fourth Tosa clansmen. g dy he away from officialdom more than twenty years ago. In 1881 the Hizen men also, under the leadership of the celebrated Count Okuma, ated themselves from the Govern- ment and went into opposition, not, how- ever, coal g with the Tosa malcon- tents. The politicians of Tosa organized the Liberal party (Fiyu-To), and those of Hizen the Progressionists, the Satsuma and Choshu men remaining firmly united and in office. Diet the common enmity of the Liberals and Progressionists against the Govern- ment induced them overthrow. Itgrew gradually evidentthat the Liberals would become, sooner or later, a government, to which result a marked impetus was given by the neces- sity for constructive statesmanship im- posed upon Japan by the recent war. The country recognizes that its first busi- ness at present is to build ships, organize armies and develop industry and com. | merce, none of which objects can be ac- complished unless the Diet and Cabinet work in some degree of harmony. The Progressionists, however, persist in oppos- ing everything that bears the sitamp of officialdom, and their destructive policy has had the effect of bringing the Govern- ment and the Liberals into still closer rela- tions. But an entente of that kind is not altogether agreeable to the Satsnma statesmen. Some of them begin to show a disposition to join the Progressionists, and such procedure on their part would, of course, have the effect of driving their Choshu colleagues fairly in the arms of the Liberals. The separation would indeed have been consummated had the recent intrigue with respect to Connt Ito succeeded, and there would then have been, speaking broadly, two great political camps in the empire, one containing the Choshu and Tosa clansmen under the banner of the Liberal party, the other, the Satsuma and Hizen clansmen, under the Progressionists’ ban- ner. The intrigue failed in so far as con- cerned a Cabinet crisis, but it afforded a pretty clear idea of the trend of polizicnl adjustment and thus brought within sight the day when Ja{zanese Cabinets, ceasing to hold office purely by the will of thesov- ereign, will accept their mandate fromithe majority of the lower house, as is the case in other constitutionally governed coun- tries.

LONDON, Exa., Sept. 3.—In the House of Commons to-day George N. Curzon, | Foreign Secretary, stated that the com- munications that had been received from j the Porte relative to the reorganization of the system of government in Armenia were not satisfactory. The project of the new Armenian reorganization had not received | the official support of Germany, Austria | sympathy with the movement and had in | an unofficial way advised Turkey of their favorable consideration of the scheme. | Mr. Curzon declined to state what covrse | the Government would pursue in the case nor would he undertake to say that no action except in a_diplomatic way would be taken without Parliament being pre- viously informed thereof. In regard to Sassoun, he said, no difficulty was ex- pected in the distribution of relief. Sir M. W. Ridley, Home Secretary, stated that the Home Office had no power to order a public inquiry under judicial forms in the case of Mrs. Mavbrick, now serving a life sentence in the Woking Prison for the murder of her husband. —_———— FIRED ON MOHAMMEDANS. Fifteen Killed and Fifty Wounded by the Bombay Police. BOMBAY, Inp1a, Sept. 3.—Serious dis- turbances, resulting from the enmity of the Hindoos and Mohammedans, are re- ported at Dhulia, a town in the Candeish district, about 180 miles from this city. | The trouble began on August 24, when the Mohammedans attacked and routed a Hin- doo procession. On Sunday last they had a procession, which was headed by a band of music. A mob of Mohammedans obstructed the way, notwithstanding the efforts of the police, who escorted the paraders. Then some one ordered the police to fire and the com- mand was obeyed. Fifteen Mohamme- dans were killes bg the yolley and fifty more were wound s Causes Much Indignation. S8T. JOHNS, N. F., Sept. 3.—Alarming news was received in this city from Labra- dor. It was that a Canadian cruiser, armed with Gatling guns and other weap- ons, had seized a number of Newfound- land schooners fishing in the waters of Canadian Labrador nng conveyed them to Bradorn on the charge of violating the Canadian fisheries law. The information is incomprehensible here and caused much indignation. e Explosion of a Shell.

OPPONENTS OF LABOR. Challenged toc Show by Their | Accounts Where They Get Their Funds. AMERICAN DELEGATES GREETED An Uproar Caused by a Ruling Ex- cluding Certain Classes of Ex-Workers. CARDIFF, Wares, Sept. 3.—At to-day’s | session of the annual trades union con- gress, President Jenkins delivered the in- augural address. He denounced the inde- pendent labor organizations amid constant interruptions. He declared that the anti- labor and anti-trades-union party had been privately subsidized by the opponents of organized labor and challenged them to | produce their accounts showing where they got their funds. J.H.Wilson, M. P., of the National sail- ors’and Firemen’s union, moved a vote of thanks to President Jenkins, but Delegate Peter Currie objected to the political bogies | which the president had introduced into | his address. He therefore moved that it was the sense of the congress that such expressions were a departure from prece- dent and that the offensive passages in the address be stricken out. David Holmes, vice-president, ruled the motion out of order, and the vote of thanks moved by Wilson was carried. Mr. Holmes tben introduced Samuel Gompers and P. J. Maguire as respectively ex-president and president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor. who were present as American delegates in obedience to the call issued by John Burns, and the con- gress accorded them an ovation. Mr. Wilson challenged the action of the pailiamentary committee in excluding certain delegates, and offered a motion de- claring that such action was unconstitu- tional. Mr. Mawdsley of the Amalga- mated Association of Cotton Spinners, maintained that the reforms instituted by the committee were necessary. Delegate Currie denounced the intrigues which had proceeded prior to the meeting of the congress against men who had grown gray in the service of the workingmen and whom the new rules were especially framed to exclude. Ben Tillett of the Dock, Wharf and Riversidle Workers’ Union threw blame upon John Burns for dictating a policy tending to ruin trades-unionism. Henry Broadhurst, M. P., charged that the parliamentary committee 1n their ac- tion had gone beyond their instructions. Mr. Wilson, having made the closing speech of the debate on the question, the president announced that a vote would be taken immediately on the resolution which provides for the exclusion of dele- gates who nhave ceased to follow the trades resulted in favor of the action of the com- mittee. The vote showed a representation of 604,000 trades-unionists in favor of the committee and 57,000 against. The con- gress then adjourned until to-morrow. The Cruise of the Kite. ST. JOHNS, N. F., Sept. 3.—Captain Mc- Kenzie of the Gloucester fishing schooner John F. McKenzie makes an important statement respecting the Peary steamer Kite, given out by his _mate vesterday. The Kite did not reach Holsteinberg until July 27, instead of the 15th. She met 'th stormy weatber, overran Holstein crg sixty miles and had to engage an Esqui- | mau pilot to take them back. All the members of the party are in splendid health. e g Humbert Reviewed the Troops. ROME, ItavLy, Sept.3.—King Humbert reviewed the troops and witnessed the military maneuvers at Aquila yesterday, after which, accompanied by Queen Margherita, he started for Monza, his Majesty being on horseback. The horse which the King was riding stumbled and feil, throwing his rider with some violence to the ground. The King, who was for- tunately unhurt, remounted his horse and proceeded on his journey. Russia Ready for Japan. VIENNA, AuvsTrIA, Sept. 3.—The Polit- ische Correspondenz publishes a dispatch from St. Petersburg saying that Russia has very little faith in the intentions of Japan and is preparing for all eventuali- ties. The Russian squadron in the East Asian waters will be increased at that point. G il d Archduke Ladislas Badly Wounded. BUDA-PESTH, AvUsTRIA, Sept. 3.—It is learned that Archduke Ladislas, who was wounded by the premature discharge of his gun while out shooting yesterday, was much more seriously burt than at first re- ported. He is now said to be very dan- gerously wounded. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE A Typhoon of Unusual Fury Spent Its Strength at Kuchinotsu. Thirty-Six Vessels Blown Ashore and All the Crews Drowned. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 3.—A Herald special from Victoria, B. C., says: A de- structive typhoon of unusual fury spent its strength at Kuchinotsu shortly before the last steamer sailed. All foreign ships in the harbor were blown on shore. With a few exceptions the houses in the town were entirely destroyed or partly wrecked. Thirty-six vessels became total wrecks and the crews were all drowned. The wreckage, lashed by the awful fury of the gale, pounded to death hundreds of men, women and children clinging to the float- ing parts of the vessels littered over the sea. The loss of life was enormous. The crew of an American steamer spent the day in rescuing the drowning. An Irishman named McGuire rescued a h:orgte number with a lasso from the life- at. The dlangs done by the floods in Gifu Ere(ecmre, apan, is very alarming. Six undred and eighteen villages suffered, 399 bridges were washed away, 20 people ;veclsyef drowned and 22,226 persons received ief. —_— Collapse of a Platform.

Pacliflc Coast Ports Too Well In- spected for the Entry of Con- tagious Diseases. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3.—Sur- geon-General Wyman of the Marine Hos- pital service has instituted a rigid investi- gation into the facts in regard to the arrival of the steamer Belgic at San Fran- cisco. This is the steamer that is sup- vosed to have brought cholera-infected Chinese and Japanese to Honolulu, and then to have proceeded to San Francisco, where her steerage passengers passed the quarantine officials and were landed. Press reports stated that the Belgic landed at San Francisco with three dead China- men in the steerage, all of whom had died from cholera, August 31. Surgeon-Gen- eral Wyman had wired Dr. Godfrey, in charge of the Marine Hospital at San Francisco, giving him an abstract of the press dispatches and directing him to in- vestigate them. A reply was received from Dr. Godfrey to-day stating that these Chinamen did not die from cholera. No evidence has been adduced tending to show that there was cholera on the Belgic at any time, either before or after leaving China, but the Marine Hospital service, taking the worst view upon the supposition that cholera did exist, is looking into the whole matter thoroughly, and within a few days all the steerage passengers will be located. The sanitary inspector at San Francisco, the port where the Belgic landed, is under the supervision of local health officers, although the quarantine apparatus is con- trolled by Federal officials, who disinfect and otherwise care for vessels after they have been sent there by local authorities. The Pacific Coast appears to be well guarded and it does not seem probable that a cholera ship could make an entry anywhere on the coast without detection. The quarantine stations at Port Townsend and San Diego, the remaining principal ones on the Pacific Coast, are under the control of the Marine Hospital service, and at other minor ports sanitary inspec- tors have been appointed who will act in conjunction with the local health authori- ties. Cholera has never been brought to this country from the Pacific side and there is little fear that it can enter even should 1t prove true that it reached Hono- lulu in a form more or less malignant.? —_— GENERAL BARRETI’S MISSION. Not Likely to Succeed in Securing New Arms for the Guard. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3.—Gen- eral A. W. Barrett, adjutant-general of the California State militia, visited the War Department to-day. He consulted with a number of officials with a view to having the California militia supplied with the new arms. Fani A The gun now used by the militia is the Springfield rifle of the 1875 pattern. Gen- eral Barrett wishes to exchange them for the new 45-caliber Springfield. It is not likely that he will successful, as the law provides for the purchase of arms by the States out of the allotment made by Congress. HEAVY DEFICIT SHOWN. Treasury Expenditures for Two Months Thirteen Million Over Receipts, ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3.—The official comparative statement of Govern- ment receipts and expenditures for the receipts for the two months of the current fiscal year of $58,022,394, against $75,226 945 for the corresponding months of the last fiscal year. The expenditures for the like period were $71,156,246, against $68,305,219 for the last fiscal year. The recei{pts show a gain in customs as compared w:.th the two months of the last fiscal year of more than $9,000,000, due almost wholly to the duty collected on imported sugar. In internal revenue a decrease of $27,- 000,000 is noted, caused by heavy with- drawals of spirits from bond during Jul, and August, 1894, to escape the increase tax put on by the new tariff bill. The treasury deficit for the fiscal year caused b; excess of expenditures over receipts is stateqd at $13,115,854. Last year, for a like period, the receipts had exceeded the ex- penditures by $6,921,726. . ouns gt RS Pacific Coast Patents. WASHINGTON, D.
