The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, October 20, 1896, Page 2

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, with which to produce them, which was true, and many gentlemen argued thatit would take an indefinite period, and at best would be but problematical asto whether we could succeed within a reason- able time in seiting up in this country the ponderous machinery requisite for pro- ducing this material. I took the ground that the only way in which it would ever be produced would be by the Government insisting from the beginning that we should establish in this country the facili- ties for producing the material with which to build our ships, without regard to the fact that at the outset it might costus vastly more than it would to purchase the materiai abroad. X “] carried that proposition into tne committee of the whole, but was defeated. The controversy was carried forward, how- ever, and the result was that the amend- ment was formally and finally enacted by Congress authorizing the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy to advertise for proposals for the production of $10,- 000,000 worth of heavy steel forgings for guns and armor, and that we would enter into contracts with any parties who would furnish a suitable guaraniee that within a certain time they would establish, within the jurisdiction of the United States, with private capital, a plant:with the machin- ery requisite for producing the heaviest forgings required by our navy. ata time when not a ton of this heavy plate could be produced in the United States. The upshot of this encouragement was that within a few years we had established at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, a great plant fitted with machinery much more powerful than any in Europe, and subsequently were estab- lished the Carnegie works and other great steel plants, so that for years past and now every naval appropriation bill has contained the unqualified requirement that the vessels in every part shall be con- structed of materials of domestic manu- facture, I feel more pride because of that fact than anything else I have done. “When I was irman of the Naval Committee in the first Congress, and we had built some of the finest cruisers and gunboats in the world, it was deemed advisable to begin the construction of ves- sels for the heavy line of battle, and I drew a for the construction of the first three battle-ships—the Oregon, Indiana and Massachusetts—and in the same bill vrovided for the construction of a fast | commercegestroyer, for which I placed | ihe limit at one knot faster than had ever been required for the minimun_speed, | namely, twenty-one knots. The offspring | of this provision was the construction of | the Colum which made twenty-three | knots an hour. “1n the bill providing for the first three battle-ships of the American navy, acting | upon the same principle wkich had caused | *me to insist upon the establishment of the { steel pl n this country, I inaugurated | in the House bill a bili requiring that at least one of those great battle-ships should be const: ed on the Pacific Coast, re- zarding, as I always have, the building up and maintenance of a great private ship- building establishment on this coast as | one of the essentials of our naval depart- | ships we have now in comm on are| superior to any vessels of their class that have been built in any other part of the world. In the recent session of Congress, | 1, as chairman of the committee, drafted | and managed the passage tirough the House of a bill providing for three more | first-class battle-ships, to be superior in | some respects to those already con- | stracted, and also a numbver of torpedo- | boats, concerning which the same provi- sion was made that a vortion of them shouid be constructed on the Pacific Coast. So that out of nine battle-ships that have thus far been authorized by Congress from the beginning of the new navy it has been my good fortune to draw up tne bills pro- viding for the construction of six.” Mr. Boutelle has expressed himself in the most complimentary manner in re- ard to the magniticent work performed | at the great shipbuilding piace in San | Francisco, the Union Iron Works. He| remembered distinctly the skepticism with | which many people commented upon the proposal to establish a shipbuilding es- | tablishment here on the Pacific Coast to | undertake what was then only experi- | mental in any part of our country the construction of a great modern warship. | He expressed pride in_the resources of | his country so stimulated by the spiendid | achievements of the Union Iron Works in | putting afloat a class of warships unsur- | passed in speed, power and efficiency by | any vessels ever floated for any navy in the world. FATHER NUGENT'S ADDRESS. but Cham- Does Not Criticize Ireland, pions Free Silver. CHICAGO, I[rL., Oct. 19.—rev. Father N t of Des Moines addressed an en- thusiastic audience to-night in Central Music Hall in denunciation of the gold standard. The hall was crowded to its standing-room capacity, and police were needed to keep others from getiing inside. There was a tedious delay of an hour and a half before the priest entered the hall with National Committeeman' Gahan of Illinois and others, and when the speaker appeared on the stage to relieve those who had filled in the time he was given a re- ception which was wildly demonstrative. Those who had come with the expectation of hearing Father Nugent make a critical reply to Archbiscop Ireland, as was re- | ported he would do, were disappointed, as the priest did not once refer to his supe- ‘rior or that prelate’s famous utterance. Father Nugent said he had been in- duced to study the money question from | both sides by receiving a letter from the McKinley apd Hobart Club of * Phila- _delphia, which stated that there were *‘great moral questions in this campaign which the clergy could not afford to over- look.” He believed the club was right and addressed the audience on the theo- logical phase of those great moral prob- lems. He had been forced to theconvic- tion that the universal hard times were caused by the demonetization of silver and that prosperity to all would only come with its remonetization. Money was the first thing and wages the last to consider. The confederated money powers were playing with marked cards and they were asking the common people to haye con- fidence and play square. He called this a confidence game. Honest money was from the man and notin the dollar. The biggest scoundrels in the country were carrying in their pockets this honest dollar. The present dollar was a robber doliar and the man who held it was a robber. Gold was timid when it saw a rival, but when it was alone it was a bully end 'went up to the people and said: “You'll have to wear a McKinley button.” i oy HARRIET MONROE'S SUIT, It Reaches the Supreme Court With New Complications. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 19.—Miss Harriet Monroe’s suit for damages against the New York World by reason of the premature publication of her “World’s Fair Ode” was brought to the attention of the Supreme Court of the United States to-day to dismiss or affirm the judgment in the case. A judgment for $5000 was given against the World, from which it avpealed to the Supreme Court last April. In the brief of counsel, supporting the motion, the rules of court permitting counsel to ask for 10 per cent ;lnngus in cases which are offered to the Supreme Court, purely for delay, is discusied ana its applicabiiity urged. Counsel says: “The conduct of plaintiff in error in committing the piracy was arrogant and cynical, Iis conduct since the judgment, especialiy in suing out this writ of error, has been vexatious and oppressive. It asks the court to sanction a legal proposi- tion which has never before been con- tented by the bar, nor dreamed of by any court in the land. It has delayed the de- fendant in error, has superseded her judg- ment and execution, and subjected her to a large additional expense. These dam- ages will not reimburse Miss Monroe from the damage which the wrongful issuance of this writ has caused her.” BRYAN'S TOUR IN THE STATE OF OHID Short Speeches Made Dur- ing the Brief Stops at Stations. Open Approval of the Request for Republicans to Display 0ld Glory. SCME SILLY ASSERTIONS MADE. Says the Advocates of Scund Money and Protection Have Appealed to Church Societies. LIMA, Ouro, Oct. 19.—The enthusiasm which marked William J. Bryan’s previous sallies to Ohio during this campaign be- gan to show itself anew on his fourth en- try to Major McKinley’s State this morn- ing. His train left Detroit at 4:40 A. M. and reached Toledo at 6:30. Two or taree hundred men in the Union station called for Mr. Bryan, and arising from his berth and after making a hasty toilet, he went out on the platform and talked to them. Fiiteen minutes only were spent at Toledo. Stops were made by the train at Perrys- burg, Weston, Dashler, Leipsic, Ottawa and Columbus Grove. The biggest crowd was at Leipsic, reached at 8:25. Mr. Bryan made a short address there. Brief remarks were made at all the other piaces mentioned and at each the candidate was Teceived with enthusiasm. Several thousand people welcomed Mr. Bryan at Lima. He read extracts from Chairman Hanna's American flag letter published yesterday and in commenting on it said My friends, it is the first time that I know of bat I have ever agreed with the chairman of the Republican National Committee, and I want to sign my name to his letter and ask ali those who believe 1n the ideas set forth there to display the flag on the 31st of October, be- cause there is not a thing in that letter but what we advocates of free silver indorse. Another audience of several thousand was at Wapokoneta. As at Lima Mr. Bryan spoke from a stand in the town. He and Mrs. Bryan were escorted to the place where the meeting was held, in front of the City Hall, by sixteen men in silver caps and one in ayellow cap. The gather- ing proved to bs one of the most enthusi- astic the nominee had addressed, and every point in his address, which followed his old lines of discussion of the money question, was wildly cheered. Thirty minutes werespent at Wapok oneta, and at11:30 the candidate’s special train re- sumed its journey. George Marshall, Democratic candidate for Congress, introduced Mr. Bryan to 500 people at Sydney, and the National nomi- nee made a brief speech. Piqua turned out the banner crowd of the day up to that time. It numbered about 6000, in- cluding many who came from near-by communities. During the twenty min- utes spent there Mr. Brvan made a speech. A number of auditors wore the yellow badges seen so frequently among the crowds addressed by Mr. Bryan. But the Bryan supporters, not to be outdone, had distributed around the town before the meeting, sumilar in color, some bear- ing the worss, “Gold—nit,”" and others simply “Nit.” At Troy 200 people heard Mr. Bryan speak from the rear platform of his private car. At Hamilton Mr. Bryan was cheered with heartiness on his way to the square under escort of the Miami Club and other organizations in uniform. He was intro- duced by ex-Governor Campbell. Dayton gave Mr. Bryan the most wild demonstration of the day. In fact two enthusiastic greetings were accorded him there. The first was not on the pro- gramme. In the run of his special to Hamilton it passed through Dayton. A crowd of nearly if not quite 10,000 sur- rounded the train in the railway station during its short wait there and cheered the nominee for several minutes. On the return to D 'yton from Hamilton the %;in- cipal exercises of the day took place. Mrs, Bryan was conveyed to the fair grounds, two miles distant, in an open carriage drawn by four horses through streets lined with shouting thousands. The nominee’s appearance on the platform erected oppo- site the grand stand was the signal for an ovation there. People filled the grand | stand to 1ts utmost capacity and a tre- mendous crowd was drawn up in front of the platform, Visitors in ereat numbers who came by special trains and from nearer points in carriages and wagons were in the throng. Mr. Bryan lost some time at Hamilton and was so far behind his schedule that he cut his speech short. He saia in part: There is not an argument that can be made against bimetallism which has not been answered over and over again. And in spite of this fact our opponents are appealing to every class of people and trying to arouses selfish interest in faver of the gold standard. One of the last appeals has been to church societies and letters have been sent from the Republican National Committee to the vari- ous missionary societies. We go upon the theory that the only permanent prosperity that can come to this country is a prosperity whose blessings begin with the people who produce wealth and go to all the other classes of society. ZANESVILLE, Omro, Oct. 20.— More than three hours benind schedule, Mr, Bryan reached Zanesville at 12:30 o’clock this morning during a heavy rain, but found three large audiences waiting for bim. Although very tired he kept his en- gagementa to speak. After leaving Wash- ington Courthouse, he made speeches at Chillicothe, Circleville, Lancaster and New Lexington. At each of these towns he was given an enthusiastic welcome. He left Zanesville at 1:12 . ., and will speak at Martins Ferry at 7:30 A. M, itz Ay PROTESTS AGAINST FUSION. Why Watson’s Letter Was Withheld From the Publie. INDIANAPOLIS, Isp, Oct. 19.—To- night N. A. Dunning, until recently editor of the National Watchman, the organ of the Populists at Washington, and whoisa close friend of sfr. Watson and recently returned from a visit to him at Thomson, Ga., when asked what he knew about the letter of acceptance, said: I was a guest at Mr. Watson’s home when the letter of acceptance was written and read the first draft of the letter two or three times very carefully. Idonot think I am betraying any confidence when I say that it is writ- ten in Mr. Waison's usual vigorous style, The question of fusion is handled without gloves and backed up with arguments that cannot be met. The action of the National Committee is severely condemned and a general protest made against ithe manner in which he has been treated since the convention.”" THOMEON, Ga., Oct. 19.—Mr. Watson was shown to-nighta telegram from Wash- ington in which Chairman Butler said he has not received Mr. Watson’s letter and had wired him to this effect. Mr. Wat- son read the telegram and simply replied; “I have nothing to #ay on the subject be- yond what I have already said.” “If Chairman Butler persists in the statement that he has not received the letter, will you give it to the public?” & ; t,i,o not expect to do so at the present time. “If he has not received your letter, will you send him another?” “I may do so.”” “Will it be another copy of the same letter, or will you write him in a different letter?” % 4 prefer to say, sumply, that I will probably write him again.” “Do you expect to meet Mr. Jones in Atlanta to-morrow?” “No, I leave to-morrow for Alabama, but will stop over in Atlanta.” Mr. Watson was asked if the differences in Kansas would be arranged. He re- plied: “Ido not.know, but itis full time it was being done. ' Precious time is flying fast and there is §one to be wasted. I have expressed my willingness to an equal division of electors, and I can do no more than that. The situation is unchanged from what it was when you saw me last, and there is absolutely no news that I can give you.” S S WBERE FUSION IS ON.

CHI1CAGO, ILL., Oct. 19.—The following appeal and warning, addressed to “The American People,” was given to the press to-night by Chairmar Jones on behalf of the Democratic committee: In view of the fact that great corporations, with scarcely an exception, aud many of the large employers of labor in the United States are engaged in a concerted effort to coerce their employes into voting at the approaching election against their own convictions, I deem it my duty to cail upon all those who believe | in the supremacy of the law and the untram- meled freedom of the individual in the right of exercising'the ballot, to use their utmost effort to prevent this most flagrant act of law- lessness, for if this conspiracy succeeds, gov- ernment by corporations will have succeeded government by the people. Corporations have no powers—except those conferred specifically in the laws creating them. The right to coerce voters or to inter- fere with American citizens in theexercise of their rights at the baliot box are not named in any of these acts of incorporation, and when coTporations attempt to exercise such powers they become law breakers, and the good of society demands that they be rebuked and punished. During the present contest which involyes questionsof the greatest moment to the American people, men have been com- pelled by fear of losing their piaces to join clubs and march in processions in behalf of a cause they detest. Requesis from corporation bosses to vote the Republican ticket, which are perfectly under- stood to convey a threat of discharge in case of refusal, are made évery day to men who dare not resent the insult. The corporations which thus appéal to forcs and {raud strike at the very foundation of Republican government | and the lives of free constituents. _The perpetration of this outrage upon free suffrage will work itsowncure. An indignant people, jealous of their rights, will demand that the Legislatures, State and National, shall proceed at once by rigorous measures to pre- vent the possibility of a repetition of such at- | tempts hereafter. In the meantime the suc- ! cess of the present conspiracy must be pre- | vented. The National Committee, backed by | the full power of the Democratic organization in every State of the Union, Eled‘el itself that | every scoundrel, whether publie officer or pri- vate_ citizen, who is detected in a violation of the law shall be vigorously prosecuted and sent to the penitentiary if possible. Jaues K. JONES, Chairman, e ONLY A STUPID SCHEME. Willstam Lymaw’s Opinion of the Irish Eepublican Federation. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 19.—President Lyman of the Irish National Alliance fur- nished the following statement to the United Associated Presses with a request that it be sent to its papers: NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 1896, To Irighmen at home and abroad: A circulsr is being sent broadeast throughout Ireland and Great Britain by a body styling itself “The Irish Republican Federation’” ecalling for subscriptions, and asking Irishmen toa pledge subseribing to Iulrrincflpleu and will- ingness to take ng arms. My name is set forth as president of tnis_federation, 1n which a man calling himself Patrick Feeney seems to be the prime mover. I have mot given su. thority to un; person 10 use my name, and I hereby warn Irishmen to have nothing to do with this Irish Republican Federation. Itap- pears to me to be either another stupid scheme of the British Home Office or the work of some unwise person. WILLIAM LYMAN, —_———— Bryan Denies the Stories. WASHINGTON COURTHOUSE, Osro, Oct. 19.--W. J. Bryan to-day denied the report which appeared in Leslie’s Woekly, that he had applied to the manager of the Herald-square Theater, New York, last January for the position of pressagent. The denial was called forth by several other newspaper statements saying that he had been on the stage, that he had thought about going on the stage, and that he had writien a criticism of a pl Mr. Bryan said there was no truth in of them, adding that at the time he was reported as contemplating the stage he was writing histories of free silver and lec- turine, —_———— Candidate Jones Rotires.

His resignation was accepted and Lon g“";l, the Democratic candidate, in- orsed. — Jones Wants the Flag Displayed.

Every Speculator. Appears to Be Making Big Money at Chicago. PHIL ARMOUR A HEAVY BUYER Constant Increase in the Demand From Foreign Lands Causes a Large Profit in This Country. CHICAGO, IrL., Oct. 19.—In the midst of a scene of wild excitement, such as veteran traders recall in war times, De- cember wheat opened on the Chicago Board of Trade to-day anywhere from | 7834 to 793, after closing Saturday at 757%. It was an average 3 cent jump to begin the furor with, and it ckme on like a bomb in the pit. The market was not all up- ward. It oscillated between Saturday’s closing price and the top, reacted to 78%, then went to 793 and flashed all around | this point with’ a bewildering series of changes. Before the commotion in the pit began, the English cables posted told the feverish crowd that more wheat was wanted by the United Kingdom. London, Liverpool, Paris and Berlin contributed their quota of bull news, and served to tune the ex- cited crowd to the pitch of a 3-cent rise at the opening. Traders on both sides of the market realized it was a short market. A feature of the day was that everybody was making money. Paying business came to the brokers from Tacoma to New Bruns- wick. P.D. Armour was & heavy buyer, and there was a report that John Cadahy sold big lots of his wheat holdings, but it was not supposed he sold all -of his lorg line. The boisterous opening of the Min- neapolis market, where the opening price was almost 5 cents above the closing price Saturday, was taken as evidence of the strength of the Northwestern market, Wheat could only be got when men could be found who were willing to let go. President Baker said: “The sctivity is due to strong foreign markets, Liverpool showing an advance of six cents a bushel. Great Britain wants our wheat, but it is absurd to talk of wheat being shipped to Argentina.” ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 19.—When _the pointer on the wheat dial at the Mer- chants’ Exchange was set at the opening to-day it indicated 813 cents. The price quoted on September wneat at the closing bour Saturday was 783 cents. Less than forty-eight hours later it had advanced 3 cents. The total advance since the close Friday has been 63; ¢ents. The total ad-, wvance in the price of this vear’s crop has been over 30 cents a bushel. There was great excitement, though but little anx- iety, as nearly all the short traders were protected by cash holdings. The price hovered around 82 dents for awhile and then began to ease off. It went back to the opening price and continued to decline until it dropped to 803§ cents. The mar- ket closed at 793 cenis—one cent above the close Saturday. All these fluctuations followed the trend of New York prices. It i1s Enown that three months ago all the local traders began buylnf in other marke:s, for ad- vance, mainly in Chicago. There is no difficuity anticipated in handling the large receipts that the advance will call out. Car service is ample and elevators well equipped. President Spencer of the exchange says the advance not a manipulated one. “The advance,’” said he, *is due to the universally short crop. The stock of red winter wheat is unusunally smail. The crop in India was almosta total failure. In Argentine and France the output was unusually small. There was a medium crop in_Germany, but it was spoiled by rains. The same conditions prevailed in the north of Egypt. The Russian crop is short nearly 100,000,000 busheis. Nat- urally the demand is greater than the sup- ply. Though the crop here was small this year it was large compared to the crops of Europe. The foreign countries are lookiny to us for their wheat.” BALTIMORE, Mp., Oct. 19.—The rush of grain to Europe bhas caused ocean ireifi?nl rates from this port to jumi ata lively rate. To-day’s guotations to Liver- pool are twopence a bushel higher than those offered a few weeks ago. Ship- brokers say that more busine: rates is being offered than at ti season for several years past. Vessels have been chartered at good rates as far alead as next March. As a result of this activity every available steamer and sailing vessel has been pressed into service and several represeptative shipbrokers say the supply of vessels is still unequal to the demand. —_—— SHARP ADVANCE IN ENGLAND, Scenes in the Exchanges Remind One of War Times. L1VERPOOL, Exe., Oct. 19.—Wheat to- day opened at 3l4d dearer, and afteran exciting trade continued firin at 5)4d ad- vaunce. Later the market gave way some- what on realizing, and closed nervous at an advance of 5d over Baturday’s closing figures. The sales to-day amounted to 205,000 gnuterl. ¢ LONDON, Exa., Oct. 19.—The Times, commenting to-morrow upon the state of the London market, will say that the rise in the price of wheat in America caused excitement, and when the American opening cables were received there was a scene such as is not usually seen except in time of war. The paper adds that the advance ap- pears to be cniefly due to the sale of American wheat for India, which fright- ened the speculatorsa good deal. Cautious observers think that a rise of 5 shillings per quarter in a week tully discounts the effect of the abnormal Indian demand. JAMES EaDs UBSDELL, Death of a Grandsom of the Famous Ctuil Engineer. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 19.—Word was received in this city yesterday of the death of Captain James Eads Ubsdell of the Somerset Light Infantry, British army, at Chatral, India, from fever. He wasa son of John A. Ubsdell of this city and a grandson of the late Captain James Eads, the famous civil engineer, who built the wonderful system of jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi River. He was burn in Southampton, England, 26 years ago, and was educated at Eton and Sandowne. Jobn A. Ubsdell, tie father of Captain Ubsdell, married éomvlen, the daughter of Captain James Eads, and is the execu- tor of Captain Eads’' estate. Upon the death of Captain Eads, Mr. Ubsdeli took charge of the jetty system at Port Eaas, and he has managed it ever since then. Under the terms of the contract which Captain Eads made with the United States Government, Captain Eads or his heirs were to have full control of the Mississippi jetties for a period of twenty years, and if duflnfi that time the jetties proved success- ful in ping the great river from over- flowing its banks and doing damage, as it 4.

SN LR CRIMES OF A HIGHWAYMAN. Albert H. Downen, a San Jose Murderer and Train Robber, Caught by the Denver Police. DENVER, Coro., Oct. 19.—The lone highwayman who has hela up twenty- three different parties in and around Denver, protecting himself from capture by the free use of his revolvers, proves to be, by his own confession, a California murderer. He also committed the mur- aer of Joel Ashworth in Denver, which raised great excitement at the time of the crime, and which was ascribed to the jealousy of a woman, His name is Albert H. Downen. He was brought in in a police drag net this evening and broke down. He stated that in 1885 he murdered a man in £t.

Sacrilegious Criminals Carry Of the Cornerstone of the Edifice, NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 19.—New Jer- sey burglars ars getting pretty mean. The town of Pearl River, just across the New York line, is much exercised over the dis- covery that some enterprising but sacri- legious criminals have stolen the corner- stone of the Methoaist church. They did not steal the church, pre- sumably because they did not want it, and did not carry the stone very far; but they pried it far enough out and away from the building to carry away the tin box which had-been placed in it when the foundation of the ehurch was laid. The tin box con- tained a8 number of papers that were val- uable. The cornersione was very large, and the thieves must have spent consid- erable time in getting it loose from the mortar. A reward has been offered for their arrest. The box also contained a $5 gold piece. I: is thought that the hot financial discussion of the pending cam- Fnign may have reminded some old cit- zen of the presence of the gold coin in the cornerstone, but so far the crime has not been laid to the door of any particular party. GET BULLETS, NOT CASH Six Footpads Attempt to Hold Up the Wrong Men in Chicago. One of the Garroters Fatally Shot aod Three Others Captured by the Police. CHICAGO, Irn., Oct.19.—A bold at- tempt at robbery was made esrly this morning and that it was unsuccessful was due eptirely to the fact that the man who was selected for the victim 'refused to occupy that position. In fact he so com- pletely reversed the intended programme that while he escaped uninjured himszelf one of the would-be robbers is in the hospital and three others are in the City Prison. Last night the Polish Society gave a dance. The attendance was large and the treasurer, Michael Mahanuk, had $200 on bhand before the night was over. The dance képt up until an early hour this morning. Then Mahanuk gathered the proceeds together and started for home, accompanied by a friend, George Maurow- ski. The two mer had gone but a com- paratively short distance when they were surrounded by six men, who had been concealed in the deep shadow at a street corner. A Tue order was at once given for the two men to torow up their hanas, and the order was accompanied with a threat of death if they did not at once comply. Mahanuk, however, proved not to be made of yielaing material. When he raised his hands one of them contained a revolver, with which he opened fire on the footpads. His first shot waseffective. He hit one of the robbers in the groin, and with a cry of pain the man fell to the ground. The five other men were fright- ened by the reception they got, and fled down the street, Mahanuk firing a shot in the air to hurry their flight. The pistol shots attracted the attention of the police in tne neighborhood, and they were on the scene quickly enough to pursue the fleeing men. Three of them were caught and lodged in jail, The two others succeeded in escaping. The wounded man, William Spank, was removed to a hospital. The doctors con- sider his wound very serious, if not fatal. prsdanl So o Under John Howard Parnell. LONDON, Exc.,, Oct. 19,—The Daily Mail to-morrow will say that Michael Davitt, M.

NORDMANN, } 2‘1 l"n, a TOKIO, Jaraw, Oct. 2.—The new Ja- panese Cabinet has ben at length com- pleted. It is chiefly remarkable for the fact that only one portfolio—that of com- munications—has fallen to a Choshu man, by no means a statesman of prominence. Thus, for the first time since the com- mencement of the Meiji era, the two great clans of Satsuma and Choshu have drifted apart; in every previous Ministry they stood side to side. Itis not likely, how- ever, that the separation will be perma- nent. Several of the most eminent Sat- suma leaders, now out of office, will doubt- less be found in alliance with the Choshu men when the latter return to power. The new Japanese Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Count Okuma, hasaiready become the butt of vehement journalistic attack. He is recognized as the leading spirit in the Cabinet. A significant fact is that the newspaper most conspicuous for its diatribes against him is the organ of the National Unionists, the party that holds the balance of power in the lower house of the Diet. That means, of course, ihat the Cabinet will find itself in a minor- ity in the House, and that an appeal to the country will be neceulrg. Count Okuma 1s & man well on in the fifties, but he carries his years very lightly. The terrible shock sustained by his system when his right leg was shattered by a bomb, six years ago, seems not to have impaired his energy or capacity in any degree. It would be difficult to say whether he has shown greater ability as a financier or a diplomat during his long career of public life. Unfortunrtely, his usefulness in either sphere is impaired by the fact that his enemies are legion. Very little doubt is entertained that the accession of a Cabinet in which Count Okuma is prominent will entail the resig- nation of Hoshi Toru, now Japanese Minister in Washington. Mr. Hoshi, during the years of his political activity as a leader -of the Liberal party, became conspicuous for his yvehement attacks upen the Progressionists, whose chief was Court Okuma, and the Progressionists re- venged themselves by forming a cabal to oust Mr. Hoshi from his position as presi- dent of the House of Representatives. The attempt succeeded, but it will always stand as one of the most discreditable chapters in Japanese parliamentary an- nals. Probably Count Okuma had very little to.do with it, but there cannot be much possibility of Mr. Hoshi’s continu- ing to serve in a capacity where Count Okuma would be his immediate chief, Japanese discontent abont the state of affairs in Korea grows stronger every day. It can no longer be doubted that the King is the leader of anti-Japanese feeling in the peninsula. The shock of the emeurte that cost the Queen’s life produced such an effect on his Majesty’s weak mind that he cannot shake off an abiding fear of the Japanese. He is persuaded that if he leaves the shelter of the Russian leeation he will an once become a mark for Jap- anese swords; he rails against Count Inouye for having permitted such a Min- ister as Viscount Miura to come to Seoul, and he denounces as a judicial fiasco the trial of the Viscount and his fellow-con- spirators at Hiroshima. - The King has never wielded much power or exercised much influence in his realm, CANDIDATES' CARDS.

A serious accident oceurred in Yokoe hama on the evening of September25. A temporary bridge thrown across one of the creeks for the accommodation of light traffic, pending the construction of a new iron bridge, collapsed under the weight of a number of people who were watching the festivities on board a newly launched junk.
