WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—Under the provisions of the treaty with China the State Department intends to dispatch at once by the shortest route Messrs. Cheshire and Davidson, the two Con- suls to Mukden and Antung. They will be able to reach their posts in five or six weeks. The Russian Government has entered a formal denial with the State Depart- ment of the authenticity of the inter- view ascribed to M. Plancon, the Rus- sian diplomatic agént at Port Arthur, wherein this officer is said to have in- timated that Russia intended to ob- struct the admission of United States Consuls to Manchuria and the exercise by them of their proper funetions. 2R S JAPAN WANTS PROMPT REPLY. Tired of Evasions Employed by Rus- sia to Gain Time. TOKIO, Jam: 26.—The Japanese Gov- ernment has diplomatically inti- mated to Baron de Rosen, the Russian Minister, that an early response is de- | sired to her recent note. It is ealculated here that Japan's note reached the IRunhn Cabinet on the afternoon of {January 16, and it is felt that sufficient time has elapsed for its consideration and the preparation of a response. The Japanese “Government is conscious of the possible necessities of the military and naval situation and is unwilling to permit evasions and delays which are designed to gain time. / The future course of the Japanese Government is a carefully guarded se-: cret. The length of time that Japan is prepared to await the pleasure of Rus- sig is unknown. It seems probable that it has been determined to act . de- cisively within a few days. The popular temper has long opposed further delay. While many objected to Jepan taking the initiative, a majority would now welcome the issuance of a nities any man of brain can find in virgin plenty in numerous parts of that broad land. ——— KOREA THREATENS JAPAN. A Will Resist Landing of Mikado’s Army A in the Event of War. PARIS, Jan. 26—The Korean lega- tion, while not officially informed of the declaration of neutrality on the part of Korea ig the event of war between Russia and Japan, believes that such a declaration has been issued, as it is in line with information heretofore re- ceived. The Minister of Korea said: “Byits proximity to Japan and Rus- sia our country is under the obligation of maintaining good relations with both powers. Consequently we can only re- main completely foreign to a econflict. Should war come the Korean Govern- ment will use its troops to preyent an invasion by the Japanese on their way to Manchuria. We have 150,000 men well equipped to enforce our neutrality. Moreover, we have 16,000,000 population, from which reinforcements can be drawn. If Japan needs to transport troops she must do so by sea.” L e KOREA 'MUST MAKE CHOICE. Emperor Is Asked by Tokio Govern- ment to Declare Himself. SEOUL, Jan. 26.-~One hundred arm Japanesé have been sent to Pyenzyang to insure the safety of the populace, it having been reported that the houses of wealthy natives were being looted by Korean soldiers and police disgulsed as The reports that Americans are acting in collusion with the members of the Russian legation in Seoul are entireiy without foundation.

He was well known here for his acts of generosity and it was generally be- lieved that he would be acquitted and return home again.” JUSTICE BIGHAM CRITICIZED. The feeling that Justice Blgham’s conduct of the case was not very judi- cial appears to grow in legal circles of London, and the sentence imposed upon Wright in ftself would have supplied England with an unexpected sensation. Until counsel commenced pleading the actual trial of Whitaker Wright scarce- ly aroused that keen “public Interest which was exhibited when Wright was in the United States or when Parlia- ment decided he did not come within the pale of lawbreakers.

Friends of Wright had said that, if driven into a corner, he would tell who had profited by his transac- tions. Suspense reigned in many quarters while counsel for the defense made their appeal, but when the ap- peal was finished those involved breathed easier and public curiosity re- mained unsatisfied. WRIGHT AWAITS VERDICT. Justice Bigham began summing up to-day and the courtroom was crowd- ed. During several previous sessions Wright had gone,to sleep. He had ad- hered to, his conviction that he could not possibly be found. guilty and it was upon this cofiviction that he, against | the advice of his lawyers, insisted upon returning from the United States to stand trial. As Justice Bigham empha- sized the points against Wright, expa- tiated to the jury, upon the immorality of issuing misleading balance sheets and the doubtfulness of the transac- tions of the London and Globe Finan- cial Corporation under Wright's guid- ance, the prisoner showed intense in- terest; yet when the jury retired Wright still retained confidence in his acquittal. He reiterated shat he had done nothing which was not done every day in the city. For an hour Wright awaited the ver- dict, meanwhile talking cheerfully with | his counsel, while the city magnates, members of the aristocracy and the other spectators who crovded the room kept their eves riveted upon the man whose fate hung in the balance. COOLLY HEARS SENTENCE. When the jury filed in at 3 o'clock ‘Wright showed his first signs of nerv- ousness. Peering through his glasses, he leaned forward to catch the fore- man’s answer. At the word “guilty,” which broke the tense, expectant si- lence, Wright did not even flinch, but, sticking his hands deep down into his pockets and gazing rather grimly at his Judge, he stood up to receive sen- tence. To the cry of a woman that came from the back of the court, and to the realization that his career as a man of business and honor was ended, Wright seemed utterly oblivious. He sat down mechanically, while Walten made a plea for mercy. As Justice Bigham, in sharp and re- morseless toneés, answered Walton, Wright was peremptorily ordered to stand up. “Whitaker Wright,” said Justice Big- ham, “in my opinion the jury could not, on the evidence, arrive at any other conclusion than which they have expressed in their verdict. I con- fess I see nothing that in any way excuses the crime of which you have now beeny found guilty, and I cannot conceive of a worse case than yours. Under the sections of the act of Par- liament under which you have been indicted, and which define the offenses in these circumstances, I do not think that I have any option save to visit you with the most severe penalty which the act permits, and that is that you E3 g wish to know if he is still favorable to the Russian cause. L e, SULTAN BALKS THE CZAR. Declines to Permit Passage of Fleet Through the Dardanelles. LONDON, Jan. 27.—The correspond- ent of the Daily Graphic at Sebastopol claims indisputable -authority to assert that Russia three weeks ago asked per- mis&ion for warships to pass through the Dardanelles, which permission Tur- key declined to grant. Dispatches from both Tokio and Pe- king agree that as a result of China's efforts to secure mediation France has agreed to use her good offices, in con- junction with Great Britain and the United States, to arrange a modus vivendi between Russia and Japan. Further, the French Minister at Peking has intimated to Prince. Ching his be- lief that if such mediation were suc- cessful the three powers in question «could assist China in coming to an equitable agreement with Russia re- garding Manchuria. Both the British and American Ministers at Peking are agreed, however, according to the dis- patch from Peking, that such mediation is impossible, as neither of the powers concerned has invited mediation pub- licly, and they have notified Prince Ching in accordance with their deci- sion. According to the correspondent of the Times in Peking, Prince Ching admits that the suggestion to invite the medi- ation of the powers came from the Rus- sian Minister. h ahligaie s Mobilizing Troops on the Yalu.

TOKIO, Jan 27.—The Jiji Shimpo says that Russia and Korea have that 2000 Russian soldiers be cmm | 80 into ‘penal servitude for seven years.” COURT CROWD ASTONISHED. The crowd in court gasped in sur- prise. Wright was almost the only per- son present who appeared to be un- moved. Theh, turning to the reporters in the room, rather than to his Judge, he cried out in a firm vofce: “All I can say is that I am as inno- cent of any intention to deceive as any one in this room.” It was apparent that he would have | said more, but two tipstaffs took him by the arms and led him out of court. A friend pressed forward to offer his | condolences. “Oh, never mind,” said Wright; “I don’t mind it a bit,” and with a firm step and looking in perfect health the | convicted man strode to the consulta- | tion room to take farewell of his so- | liettors. For some twenty minutes Wright dis- cussed his family affairs and the dis- position. of his remaining money. He frankly expressed his amazement at the verdict. and still more so at the sentence, but George Lewis Jr., his so- licitcr, tells the press that he spoke rather as a man prepared to “grin and | bear. it” tharn as a man who contem- plated suicide. FALLS AS IN A FAINT. Suddenly Wright fell backward, as if he had faintéd. The officer who was waiting to take him to Brixton Prison ran to King’'s College Hospital, which is near by, for'a doctor. In the mean- while the unconscious man was propped up on two chairs. The doctor came quickly. * His first thought was that Wright had fallen in an ordinary apo- vleptic fit, but it was noticed that his heart began gradually to give out, and before another doctor could ar- rive Whitaker Wright, within one hour of the time of his sentence, was dead. An examination of the body, made at a late hour to-night, points strongly to the fact that death was aue to poison. The post-mortem examination will be held on Wednesday. Throughout the evening a crawd of curious persons lingered around the law courts and in order to avoid scenes the body of Wright had to be taken out by a side entrance and conveyed almost by stealth to the mortuary. BIASED CHARGE TO JURY. In charging the jury Justice Big- ham gave evidence of the utmost bias. He said he would ask the jurors to find a general verdict of guilty or not gullty. If they were satisfied that Wright was guiflty of one or more of the charges they must not be deterred from find- ing a verdict of gullty by the sugges- tion that such a verdict would .cast a slur upon the memory of Lords Duf- ferin and Loch. It would not:do any- thing of the kind. Their conduct was consistent in their having honestly made mistakes. Dealing with the evidence Justice Bigham described as singular the way in which thousands of pounds sterling became millions on paper, so far as the Lakeview shares were concerned. The London and Globe and Standard were gambling concerns, which excited his indignation. In the course of his long experience, Justice Bigham said, he had never before heard of anything like the transactions which preceded the hopeless bankruptey of the London and Globe Financial Corporation. Justice Bigham coneluded his refer- ence to Wright's career by referring to the position which the defendant claimed to have occupied in New York and Philadelphia, and said Wright had built up a fine position for himself in twao or three years, and if it was neces- sary to secure a motive for his actions it would be found in his destre to main- tain this position. At the same time it was said that after the crash of the London and Globe Financial Corpora- tion he found himself with $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 in worthless securities. e 10 WRIGHT'S SAN JOSE CAREER. Efforts Made by Promoter m']:-:r_\me Capital Not Successful. SAN JOSE, Jan. 26.—Whitaker rant for his arrest had been issued in London five days previously, but Wright had already left for the United States. He was accused of having absconded with funds of the London and Globe Finance Corporation, by which the stockholders lost more than $111,000,000. The ostensible purpose of the London and Globe company was to facilitate investments Dy the shareholders in va- rious enterprises, ranging from mines developed and undeveloped to street railways and water works. Whitaker Wright was a broker in Philadelphia and New York. Wright was one of the biggest plungers on the exchange. He also invested heavily in West Australian mipes.

There were eleven of these, includ- | ing the parent company, entitled the | London and Globe Finance Corpora- | tion, with a total capitalization of 860.-} 675,000. Wright was managing director. One of the victims of the crash was | i the late Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, formerly Governor General of Canada and later British Embassador in Paris. He consented to be chairman of the London and Globe and had 25,000 shares in the different companies. With Lord Dufferin on the board of directors were Lieutenant General Gough-Calthrop, who was colonel of the Fifth Dragoon Guards, and Lord Edward William Pel- ham-Clinton, master of Queen Victo- ria’s household, son of the fifth Duke of Newcastle. When the crash came Lord Dufferin was severely censured for his conmection with the Wright companies, but in a frank speech to the stockholders of the London and Globe he declared his position and won the sympathy of his countrymen.

In her complaint Mrs. Foster alleges that they were married in Butte in April, 1902, and moved to San Francise where they resided after the marriage, until she claims to have rearned of the existence of another wife from whom she alleges her husband had never se- cured a divorce. Mrs. Foster does not ask for a di- vorce as she does not recognize that she was ever legally married. She asks that the marriage ceremony be set aside and that she be allowed to re- sume her former name of Alice M. Kirkpatrick. —_—————————— Britain’s Costly Mining Methods. With increased and increasing de- mand for coal came the necessity for opening out lower seams, and deeper shafts meant a heavier capital expendi- ture in colliery enterprise.

In the last few years the use of so-called smokeless powders has become universal. These are all nitro substitution products, and their princi- pal characteristic from an artillery point of view is the fact that the entire weight, or very nearly the entire| weight, turns into gas. In the older| powders only about 60 per cent of the | weight was gasified, and the remaining 40 per cent was projected from the gum | in the form of dust and constituted a | considerable waste of energy. The point | not entirely satisfactory in modern | powders is their constancy in pressure | and velocity and stability in storage. | It is a question whether under the same | conditions of storage they are as stable | and safe as the old-fashioned "powder. Indeed, there is every reason to be- lieve that they are not as safe or as; stable, and they are watched with great care at stated times when stored. Inci- dentally, this powder gives little or no smoke, which is usually but not always an advantage. ¢ —————————— Norway's State Banks.

A. S. Redmayne in the Engineering Maga- zine. As early as 1529 John Buddle in giv- ing evidence before the House of Lords declared that the cost of sinking, even then, was frequently £10,000 to £15,000, and J. T. Taylor stated before a select committee on rating of mines in 1357 that at Haswell colliery, in the county |of Durham, £40000 was expended in contending with a quicksand, and that the shaft had ultimately to be aban- doned. At Murton colliery, a few miles distant from Haswéll, £300,000 was ex- pended in sinking; the quantity of water pumped during the operation of passing through the overlying magne- sian limestone bed amounted to an av- erage of 9306 gallons per minute from a depth of 540 feet, an@ the three shafts ultimately reached the Hulton seam at a depth of 1488 feet from the surface In April, 1843.

Wright spent the summers of 1892, 1893 and 1894 in San Jose. He made his home at the Hotel Vendome and was acéompanied by his wife and two children. In 1892 he spent several months here. He was trying to float some gigantic mining scheme he had in South America. He approached a number of moneyed men in this city with the project, but they were afraid of the investment. Wright represented himself as a man of great wealth. He had many men come to se¢ him while he was REGAL where 1t is. intended to! here, but apparently was unable to do any business. All the time he main- tained his office in San Francisco and made almost daily trips to that city. He spoke about investing his wealth in Santa Clara County and San Jose property. In 1893 he took a fancy to a fine residence on Stockton avenue and was planning to buy it.” In order to see if it suited him he rented it with the option of buying it. ~After two months he gave it up and moved back to the Hotel Vendome. ° The next year Wright spent less time here and lived entirely at the Vendome. He met many of the local financiers, but was unable to impress them with the merits of his money- making schemes. Mrs. Wright moved in the highest social circles of San Jose and the couple were well re- céived. Wright would spend the week days in his San Francisco office and on Sundays would have several pros- pective investors from the city as his guests at the hotel. When Wright and his family left here they lived for some time in San Francisco and then went to New York. o T N, KINDLY WORD FOR WRIGHT.
