The Conservative newspapers, whick are bound _by. party afiiliations to support Lord Salisbury, comment at length on the pamphlet.

The Liberal papers take heart from the ringing words of their old ieader to attack the policy of the Government more vig- orously than before. ‘They recall that'last year when Lord Rosebery was leader of tie Liberals he declared that everything that could be done ought to be done to put an end to the detestable system of government prevailing in Turkey. The plain statement made yesterday by the Earl of Kimberley, the present Liberal Jeader in the House of Lords, expiaining the speech he nad made at the meeting of the National Liberal Federation at Nor- wich shoula sat at rest all doubt concern- ing the present policy of the Liberal party and the proof that Gladstone is in a1l accord with the Liberal leaders. The Earl said in effect that what he intended to convey in his speech was that the Lib- eral pariy would depart from the policy it had pursued in the past in connection with Tuikey ang would maintain that the existence of the Ottoman empire was a nding menace to the peace of Europe.

At midnight the tug Fearless went up the river and an hour later shiecame down laden to the water’s edge and towing a large, strange schooner, also heavily laden. They went out tosea at once and, according to reports made by night po- licemen here, met a large steamner five miles off the coast and transferred a large amount of goods. It took them about six | haurs to complete the transfer. After that they came in and took out men. Itis said that about fifty-five were on board the tug. These men came down on the night train from Bartown Junc- tion. They came in locked cars and were dropped off about six miles above the town. This is the fiith expedition, it is said, that has been sent off here undetected in the last two months. gie gAt MILIT:RE OPERATIONS, Insurgents Altack Cano and Sack Sev- eral Hous HAVANA, Cusa, March 20.—Advices recelved here to-day state that the rebels made an attack upon the town of Cano on March 15 and sacked several houses.

CITY OF MEXICO, Mex., March 20.— Mexican officials are much displeased at stories which are being printed in certain American newspavers and which are ap- parently furnished by some individuals here for the purpose of putting Mexicans in a bad light with Americans. It was receatly published in the United States that the Mexicans were incensed against Americans. Asa matter of fact, the latter never stood better than now: in the estimation of all classes in this country. A dispatch stating that there was an epidemic in Mexico and another to ‘the effect that three Boston men were coming here to purchase the American flags cap- tured during the Mexican War were with- out the slightest foundation in truth. e iy Slawahtsred by Albanians, BELGRADE, Servia, March 20.—The newspapers here publish a story of an out- rage commifed by Albanfans upon a party of Christians at Tetova. A young Christian couple had just been married and & party of their friends had gathered to celebrate the event. While the gayeties were in progress a number of Albania appeared and demanded that the bride- groom pay a so-cailed wedding tax. This he refused to do, and his refusal, so exas- perated the Albanians that they attacked the Christiaps and kilied or wounded twenty of them. ———— Conaratulations to Pielorta, LONDON, Exc., March 20—The an- nual meeting of the council of the Na- tional Liberal Federation was held at Norwich to-day and was presided over by Kobert Spence Watson, who moved aresolution, that the councii of National Liberal Federation, representine more ban 700 liberal associations in England and Wales, respectfully tenders its con- gratulations to Her Majesty the Queen, on attaining this, the sixtieth year of her reign.

WASHINGTON, D. C, March 20— Statements recently made by ex-Minister Thurston of Hawaii rezarding the dangers which Lo alleges Hawaii bas cause to dread on account of the influx of Japan- ese, have aroused some indignation smong the members of the Japanese legation in this city. They say Mr. Thurston is mis- taken both in . his facts and his conclu- sions. The Japanese Government has no designs'upon Hawaii, and there isnothing in the present or past condition of affairs in the islands which in the remotest de- gree justifies such an allegation. When :he Japanese first went to Hawaii in considerable numbers it was in compli- ance with the demand for iabor upon the sugar plantations. They went under-the terms of a convention made only aiter re- peated requests from the Hawaiian Gov- ernment and’entered into somewbat re- luctantly by Japan. That convention is stilt in force, but can be abrogated upon due notice by either parly. A little more than a year ago the Japa- nese Government enscted a law, by the terms of which Japanese are permitted to emigrate to those countries, and those countries only, whither their emigration will not be contrary to the law of the country of destination. Several companies bave been formed in Japan for the purpose oi promoting emi- gration under this law not oniy to Hawaii, but also to_other countries where emi- grants are in demand. But neither the Javanese Minister nor any other Japanese official has any connection with these companies, which are_exclusively private business concerns. Nor do these com- panies promote emigration to. Hawaii except in compliance with the demand for Iabor in the isiands. They are responsible for the welfare of the people whom they assisiin sending abroad and could not afford to ineur the heavy penalties wtich the law would tm- pose upon them if they sent people indis- criminately to countries where there is no demand for labor. Consequently 99 out of every 100 Japanese who go to Hawaii go there in fulfillment of agreements for their employment upon the plantations or elsewhere in_the isiands. Japanese emigration to Hawaii owes its initiative to the Hawalian Government, and owes its continued existence to the Hawaiian planters. The moment their demand for 1abor ceases Japanese emigration will end also. «Mr, Thurston,” said Counselor Stevens of the Japanese legation to-day, *‘knows this and he must know also that without this class of docile, intelligent labor, or some adequate substitute for it,the chief source of Hawaiian wealth, the sugar in- dustry, would be fatally crippled. The officials of the Japanese legation cannot understand ‘why Mr., Tharsion should ignore this unless he believes i is indis- pensable to the cause of annexation to im- pose upon the credulity of the American public by misrepresenting Japan and her people.’” PR OTI18 18 ERULED OUT.

Y., March 20.—The steamer Kaiser Wilbelm, arrived in Ho- boken to-day from the otber side. The log-book shows that at 1:30 o’cloek on Wednesday afternoon last, while in lati- tude 40.7 north, and longitude 49.29 west, the Kniser William passed the English tramp Yanariva, bound for the other side. The Yanariva signaled the Kaiser Wils helm, but owing to some mistake the sig- nals were not plainly understood. Chief Officer Danneman of the Kaiser Wilnelm said this evening that as far as they could make out the signals were “Sixteen, St. Nazaire, French.’” When the chief officer was asked what be thought the English steamer meant to convey he said £ at he was under the im- pression that the Yanariva had seen the Vilie St. Nazaire, which was wrecked off Hatteras, but had been unable to get to her on account of the rough weather. Then again he said 1t might have been that the English ship had succeeded in rescuing sixieen of the St. Nazaire’s pas- sengers and that they were on their way to England. The Yanariva will not reach the other side until, Thursday or Friday. The first officer tholight the officers of the Yanariva, knowing that the Kaiser Wil- helm would reach port first, wanted her to make a report. There is said to be considerable im- provement in tbe men saved from the wreck of the St. Nazaire. Dr. Maire, who apneared to be sinking on Friday, rallied and was believed to-day to pe out of danger. Death of @ Famous Racing Stallion. NEW YORK, N.

Y., March 20.—Senator John P. Jones of Nevada is at the Hoff- man House. “There will be no opposi- tion on the part of the silver Republicans to the passage of the tariff biil, which its friends say, is to make us againa pros- perous nation,” he said. ‘“We are willing 10 let the Republicans have full swing, assured that business conditions cannot be bettered until we have a reform in our monetary policy. The tariff bill cannot be framued that will retarn to us the pros- perity which we lost through the monetization of silver.” Eenator Jones did not think the Re- publicans could organize tbe Senate. It all depended upon their ability to seat the Senatorial appointee from Oregon and the election of a Repudlican from Kentucky. He did net think Senator Wolcott’s trip abroad .resulted in any benefit to the silver cause. As 1o the tuture policy of the silver Re- publicans, Senator Jones said : not attempt to_introduce any hnancial lecislation to this session of Congr We shall act with all other silver ol zations in strengthening the cause, at elections shall support any candidate: whether they be Republican, Damocratic or Populist—who declare for our princi- ple.” Conatiigin Two Puqiiists Keocice Doath Blows,1 PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 20— Pu:ilist Edward Gibbons died this morn. ing from the effects of a blow over the heart which received in a bout with John Parry iast night, Christian Keilnecker, another fighter, died at the hospital as a result n’ the punishment he received in a fight Thurs day night with Frank Connelly.
