CRISIS IN JAPAN.
The Government DiSSOlYHS Both Houses Of
Parliament nt-NeW Election Ordered.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-Telegrams have
been received in this city announcing that
ON the 25th inst. the House of Representa-
tlyes of the Japanese Diet was dissolved
by imperial order under the Constitution,
the House of Peers was prorogued and
new election for members of the lower
House will be held within five months. The
Government bases its action upon the desire
TO test public opinion concerning the policy
OF the popular party in the House of Repre-
sentatIves, which, since the meeting last
month, has Unfortunately opposed all
Government measures. Three distinct
specifications are made in regard to the
course the opposition pursues:
-. Flrst-lt insisted upon wholesale reduc-
ton in the national expenditure. which, if
adopted, would be fatal to administrative
efficacy.
Second-It persevered in postpo ming the
debate upon urgent Government bills.
especially measures for the relief of the
sufferers by the recent earthquakes and
Hoods, and for repair of river embankmentS
wholly or partially destroyed by the earth
quake, which, in their present condition,
threatened irreparable disaster to large dis
trictS
Third-lt rejected without debate the
Government bills for national defense, for
railway extension and for tightening local
taxation.
These acts, the Government states, be-
tray disregard for the national welfare
and a spirit antagonistic to the proper
discharge OF the duties devolvng upon the
Diet. and cansed a dissolution of the
House. The Government, on its own re-

GARZA'S RAID.
Mexican RalCheFS in Texas Aiding The ReY-
OlutiOniStS Conflict Imminent.

ST. Louis, Dec. 29.-The Republics San
Antonio special says: Much more impor-
tance is now attached TO Garza's raid. Cap
tain Bourke is authority for the stat ement
that every Mexican on tie American side is
a supporter of Cara, and the mass es of
Northern Mexico are similarly inclined.
The fact that CARA continues to recruit fol
lowers from the American side increases the
responsibility of the American Government
In permitting the vic atiOns of the neutrality
laws, and the American officials concerned
are much worried. All available American
troops, it is said, are out now, and Gene raj
Stanley had instructions, if necessary, to
nse all the men IN his department.
Authentic information has been received
that CARA and his men are being protected
by Mexican rancherS in Texas, but his bands
are so badly scattered and the troops are so
watchful that 1t Will be impossible for him
TO throw any large body into Mexico at one
point, as has been his intention. Captain
Hardie and his troop reported from A lice
this morning that they had been scouting
up and down the river, but nothing of i'm
pOrtance was discovered. At Rio Grande
City warrants had been issued against
Gdrza's men for the killing of Corporal Ed
strom, and several suspicious characters
bad been arrested. As matters look now ex-
citing developments may be expected in q
short time, as the United States troops are
likely to come into contact with the revolH-s
tionists at any moment.

TENNESSEE TRAGEDY.
A Domestic Scandal Results in the Death of
Three Men

NASHVILLE (Tenn.), Dec. 29.-Marion and
Dave Beatty and Gwinn Bowden of Fentress
County, on the upper Tennessee, lie dead in
their houses, and Edward Harris, their mur-
derer. is Il fugitive from justice with a re-
ward offered for his apprehension. Three
months ago Mary Beatty, sister of two of
the dead men and belle of the upper Ten
nessee county of Fentress, retired from
society. Then it became nosed about that
the young woman had become a mother.
The story was substantated some time after
by the sudden arrest of Claiborne Beatty, a
banker and the richest man in the county,
at the instigation of the girl, his daughter,
VIII o charged him with being the father of
her child. This stirred up hornets nest,
and so fearful were the jailer and Sheriff
OF mob that they removed him from Jail
and into another county for safe-keeping.
The neighbors and friends began to take
sides, some with the girl and others with
the father. Finally Beatty gave heavy
bond and left the country, and Mary Beatty
went to live with some distant relatives,
Hiram Harris family, who lived at Allardt,
not far from jamestown.
The Harris family, accompanied by Mary
Beatty, came to town Monday to do some
trading and 10 appear before the Grand
Jury 10 testify against the father. The
BeattyS were there with their friends and
relatives. The court adjourned at o'clock,
family aud Mary Beatty started home.
When the Harris family left tue Court
house yard Gwinn Bowden and the Beatty
brothers mounted their horses and followed
them. When one mile from jamestown,
Marion Beatty rode up to the side of the
wagon and demanded that the girl 60 home.
with him, emphasizing the command with a
cut on her face with his whip. The girl
replied that she would rather die than live
with him again. Beatty again attacked his
sister, when Harris pulled revolver and
shot all three men and then escaped.
The Beattys have always enjoyed the re-
spect of the people of the county, and six
years ago Claiborne Beatty was a State
Representative. He was. extensively en-
gagged in general merchandise and lumber
business.
Many believe the girls story concerning
her father. She is an educated, striklngly
handsome woman, about 20 years old, and
enjoyed the esteem of every one in the
vicinity. The report that Miss Bratty and
young Harris were married some time ago
in Scott County is current. but it cannot be
confirmed

CHILE's NITRATE BEDS.
Colonel North Says That They are Not Ex-
hausted.

LONDON; Dec. Gan interesting meeting
of shareholders of the London Nitrate Com
pany was held to-day. Much dscon ntent
was created among the shareholders when
tie Chairman submitted his report, which
announced the loss of e2Sl6 on the years
operations of the company. Harrison. one
OF the stockholders, said the Chilean nitrate
fields owned by the company had been prac-
ticaly exhausted by the vendors before they
sold them to the company. He declared that
grave misrepresentation had been made,
and suggested that the company wind up its
affairs. This suggestion that the company
go out of business was met with cries of
mot yet" Colonel North, the Nitrate
King" than whom none is supposed to be
more thoroughly qualified to judge of the
value of the nitrate deposits, denied the
statement that the mines owned by the
com pany were worked out To show his
belief IN the value of the property he said
he was willing to give 5000 for the nitrate
fields in question, and in addition would
assume all the liabilities of the company
He concluded by declaring that he was
prepared to buy at the market value all the
company's shares offered to bin. The

THE TWEED RING REVIVED.
A Libel Suit Brought Against tine Publisher
OF Book

NEW YORK. Dec. 29.-The British. Com
sui In this city is now taking testimony in
case which has no precedent In the history
OF literature, which raises questions that are
new in international law. and which illus
strates the dangers which beset the modern
historian when he treats of events which are
within the memory OF men still living. No one
would have imagined when Bryee's "Anleri-
can Commonwealth" was published a little
over two years ago. and least Of all the
author OF the work, that A. Oakley Hall, ex-
MAYOR OF New York under the Tweed
regime, then living in London. would see it
to raise all the buried memories of the
Tweed ring in New York by bringing suit
Tor libel against Mr.. Bryce. Hall brought
suit Tor libel, taking exception to chapter
on the Tweed ring in New York, and
asserted in his complaint that the assertions
therein made were untrue and damaged him
to the extent of $4,000. A curious fact is
that the alleged iibeous chapter was not
written by Professor Bryce Its author
was Professor Frank j. Go0dnow of Coium-
bla College, and il was copyrighted and
published by him under his name as
a separate part OF the "American Com
monw ealth." Que of the objects of this,
It Is presumed, was to bring the book under

the book this chapter was left.Out; merely
leaving it out did not satisfy Hall. He was
determined to press his suit and, seek vindi-
cation, even If it required the: opening up

DR.. GRAVES TRIAL.
Closing Argument for The Prosecution in
ths Barnaby Case.

DENVER, Dec. 29.-In the Graves trial to-
day. Immediately before Judge Rising's
charge to the jury, Mr.. Pence began his
closing argument for the prosecution. In
the course of his emarks he said:
You are determining an important ques-
tion. one of life and death. The law asks you
to take what the law cannot give again.
The law requires You to be satisfied without
reasonable doubt before you find the
accused guilty. If DIR. Graves did
not prepare the fatal draught that
sent his benefactor to death, and you
do not believe he did from the evil
dence, then let him 60. 1t is not because
counsel can create fact or because the at
totneys have any tight TO insist upon any
unfair conclusion; it is because solemn
duty rests on Us as well as you; it is be-
cause the law requires us to seek the truth,
and 1t is because of this that counsel may
be able TO refresh your recollection so as to
guide you toward the truth. With that
notion of the duty of counsel | come before
you.
as there any doubt that Josephine Barn
aby died the victim of poison? | think not.
have no fear in saying, as all the testi-
mony showed, that Mrs. Barnaby did so
die. Was it at the hand of Dr. Graves, who
had no allies to assist him. but unaided or
aided, was lie the man? That theory you
are to solve. There is no excuse for any
juror in the world to hesitate moment in
bringing in verdict that he poisoned this
woman. His relations with her began one
year before her husbands death. She was
his patient. 1t is evident to you, ms it is to
me and to her children, that a husband who
has spent long life with his wife better
understands her needs and the proper limi-
tatlons to be placed on her after his death
than the tramp interlOper who comes in
after his death. Everybody knows that
Mr. Barnaby better knew what was good
for her when he made his will than did
those interlopers. But little did he dream
when he dictated his will that in the city of
Providence there was an adveuturer of a
lawyer and Il tramp of a doctor who would
rob the woman while he was in his grave" 4"
Pence spoke for five hours. A the even
ing session Colonel Balou opened the argu-
ment for the defense and spoke until late
hour. when the court adjourned until to-
