REPORT CONFIRMED.
Stories Told Were Exaggerated and
Misleading.

Washington, Dec. ia telegram
has been received at the Japanese le-
cation in relation to the atrocities al
legged to have been committed by the
Japanese at the capture of Port Ar
thur. The government at Toxic is not
yet in possession of the full details of
the affair, but the information already
at hand shows conclusively that some
of the reports which have been circu-
lated concerning the conduct of the
japanese troops are exaggerated and
misleading.
If there was unnecessary bloodshed,
the Japaneses government cannot but
believe there must have been Some in
citing cause for the behavior of the
Japanese troops, as hitherto it had
been most exemplary at times under
circumstances calculated to excite
feelings of the deepest resentment ard
animosity. 1t is known to be fact
that The great majority of those Chin
ese who were killed at Port Arthur
were not peaceful Inhabitants, but
Chinese soldiers disguised in civilian
dress.
Most of che Inhabitants fed from the
place several days before its capture.
and at the present time have returned
and are pursuing their business with
out molestation or restraint The
Japanese government and its repre-
sentatives have no disposition to con-
ceal any of the facts, but on the con-
trary has caused the strictest investi-
cation, the results of which will be
promptly made public.

. SHORT SWORDS FOR TWO.
a Story of What Might Have Reen
Among Old Time Senator'S.

Story of What Might Have Reen
Among Old Time Senator's.
An entire Sunday edition might be
filed with stories connected with the
late Judge L. @. c. Lamar. Mr.. Lamar
possessed a remarka BILE peculiarfty.
Unusual excitement seemed to act upon
his nerves like an opiate and put him
10 sleep. This was strongly exemplided
after his remarkable verbal encounter
with the great New Yorker, Mr.. Conk-
ling. Mr.. Lamar, after scarifying Mr..
Conkling for life, leaving him with
burning yet deferentiaI sentiment,
closed as follows:
i apologize to- the Senate for this
seeming unparliamentary language
advancing to the New Yorker and
throwing his index finger full in his
face); language that no man, good
man, deserves, and no brave man will
wear" Immediately Mr.. Lamar walked
10 the cloak room on the Democratic
side, lay down on a sofa, and in three
minutes was sleeping as calmly as a
babe. There was great excitement. 1t
was pe-ieved Mr. Conkling would not
suolnft to the language applied to him.
and that, while he probably would not
challenge Lamar, being an athlete, he
would meet him on the streets and as
sault him. The late Senator Zeb
vance, a Hercules in stature, who was
devoted to Mr.. Lamar, without the
knowledge of that gentleman or any
other human being, Swallowed Mr.. La
mar for some days, explaining after
wards that if Conkling ever struck
Lamar he intended to beat him to
death: Mr.. Vance, however, did not
KNOW what those intimately acquaint-
ed With Mr.. Lamar knew. In al prob
aoli1ty Mr.. Lamar could have whipped
them both. He prided himself on his
muscle, and has often said to the
writer: Il believe 1 am better fitted
Tor prize fighter than L am for
Senator" 1t was unprecedented by some
that Conhiing would challenge Mr. La
mar. Conkling was known to be an
expert with the short sword. Mr.. La
mar said afterward to an intimate
friend in discussing the matter: eff
Mr.. Conkling had sent me a challenge
/ should have chosen short swords"
says the New Orleans Picayune.
"Why, Mr.. Lamar" replied his
friend, "Conkling is an expert with the
short sword
81 know that" replied the Senator,
"but 1 took some lessons with the short
sword myself when I was in Paris the
time that 1 was sent by the confeder-
acy on 6, mission to Russia
why, Senator" the friend replied,
"you have not had a short sword in
your hand for twenty-five years"
81 know that" coolly replied the
Senator, "but L should have chosen
short swords"

Strange Career of Lewis ConI<Iin
Religious Leader and Burglar,

NStliSStOuS Le0uer ana burglar.
On a western slope of the OranE5
mountains struggles the little village
OF Roseland, with a scattering popula-
ton Of about 400 souls, says the New
York World. The village good boy has
become burglar, and the mention OF
his name, Lewis Conklin, makes the
women turn pale and the men CLASH
their hands to their pistol pockets
Several armed parties have vainly
sought the young desperate. The DO
lice of all the Oranges, of Newark. of
Caldwell, and even of New York. have
received descriptions and pictures *
him, and have been asked to arresE
him on sight
Conllin is a STRIPPING of barely 10.
with a boyish face asserting its first
pretensions to manhood in a sprinkle
OF down on the upper lip. About a
year ago he was the model lad of the
Methodist Sunday school at Roseland
and the leader of the Christian En-
deavor society, a position which he at
tanned after faithful service as CORE
spending secretary. Last Sunday d
group OF men prowling in the woods in
search OF him came upon him sitting
with MS BACK against a fir tree, whist
ing LliHbulerO" and cleaning the bar
refs OF his revolver with leaves torn
from Sunday School Quarterlies.
His hunters gasped How de do?'
and incontinently departed. Lew went
on pistol polishing, and devoted that
very evening to pillaging the house Of
Rev. Alexander Patton, his former pas
tor and befriender.
Conklin up to date has looted three
churches, two school houses, d parson-
age, and miscellaneous dwellings and
stores. As in the days OF his virtue,
in the days of his oUuawry he prefers
church work to any other.
Roseland people say they will get
him even if they have to shoot him
first.
Many robberies that were mysterious
are now attributed to the boy burglar.
He was a young DR.. Jel5yI and Mr..
Hyde, and would lead a Christian En-
deavor meeting and go forth to burgle
the homes of his fellow EndeavorerS
after he had led them In prayer.
The first time that his neighbors sus-
pected him of wrong-doing was when
a store at Caldwell was broken into
and two bags of flour were stolen. A
teil-tale trail of flour was followet- ~
from Caldwell to the house Of Conk4
Inns mother. The young rascal was
seized and confessed that he and a
friend had committed the robbery. He
sent for Mr.. Patton and begged for
mercy. He was spared that time and
in an excess Of repentance conducted
several. Of his victims to the cellar,
where he removed a couple Of stones
from the rough wall and disclosed &
hiding place filed with collection mugs
books, money, trinkets, and odds and
ends of more or less value.

San Francisco, Call, Dec. 16.-The
Chronicle today received the following
cablegram from it's special cerrespon-

denial to the reports Of butchery of
Chinese civilians at Port Arthur after
the forts were taken:
Hiroshima. Japan. Dec. 16.-Concern-
ing the alleged massacre at Port Ar
thur am assured by Ito Myogi, setre-
tary-general of the Imperial cabinet,
that the reports are exaggerated He
asks consideration Of these facts:
First-That a majority of so-called
Chinese civilians said to have been
butchered by Japanese troops in Port
Arthur were really soldiers in plain
clothes, This was established by scores
Of the slain.
Second-That the Chinese soldiers al
ways discard their uniforms when in
flight
Third-That most of the civilians had
previously fled. Those who remained
were armed with rifles and fired on the
Japanese.
F'ourth-That the mikado's forces,
when they marched into the fallen
stronghold, were highly excited to find
that the bodies of their captured COM
rades had been fearfully fnutilated
The Chinese garrison, seeing that Port
Arthur was doomed, had put the jap
anese prisoners to atrocious death. The
victors found the pinioned bodies of
their feliow-soldlers ripped open and
disemboweled, while some captives had
been burned alive.

Others committed by the Chinese since
the beginning of the war enraFe6 the

400 Chinese prisoners were taken by
the Japanese when Port Arthur fell.

CONCERNING CONSULAR REFORM.
Urgency Of q Complete Revision of
the Present System Felt on All
Hands.

y
Henry White. ex-secretary of the United
states embassy at London, has paper
In the current North American Review
on consular reform, in which he says:
The urgency for consular reform has of
late been frequently brought to the atten-
ton Of the public by a, series Of interest
ing magazine articles. each of which was
extensively, and with few exceptions IA
V0fably, commented upon by newspapers
OF both parties throughout the country.
A forcible address was also delivered on
the subject to the national board of trade
IN January last by the Hon. Theodore
roosevelt; and quite recently Admit al
Erhen, whose opportunities have been fre-
quent OF observing the sorry figures often
CUT by our consuls in comparison with
ln9se Of other countries, has expressed
fsrm, which is advocated by the national
noard Of trade and other commercial bod

IN the newspapers as the consular de-
bauch' in which the late assistant secre-

ONCE. Between March 4 and December
81, 1893, thirty out of thirty-five consuIs
general and 13S out of 1SS frst-class con-
suls AID commercial agents were changed,
the numbers in the British empire alone
being seven consuls general (the entire
number), and sixty-two out of eighty
eight consuls and commercial agents. In
Great Britain and Ireland the consul gen.
eral and eighteen consuls and commercial
agents out OF a total OF twenty-four were
changed, Manchester being the only first
class cor sulate omitted from this clean
sweep. 1t is impossible TO suppose that
such an upheaval was intended to benefit
the consular service, or that 1t could have
been otherwise than exceedingly detrl-
mental to it's efficiency. Nor is it a, mat
ter of surprise, when. the numerous re-
movals which have taken place this year
are added to the above figures, that most
people should agree with Theodore
Roosevelt in the opinion that the present
system is undoubtedly directly RESPONSE

A New Use for the Domestic Ter
rier-In south Kensington one day last
week (writes a correspondent 1 was
struck by the manner in which a lady
had evidently trained her dog. The
streets were dirty. The lady had a
parcel in one hand. an umbrella in the

trained her Irish terrier. Trotting,

her, he held the train of her. well-maFA

daintily as retriever carries game.

to touch the ground. 1t was evidently

GRAND VALLEY BETS.

C. E. Mitchell returned home last
night from Lehi, Utah, where he had
been on business connected with the
beet sugar industry in this county.
Very recently several car loads of
beets were shipped from this city to
Lehi to be manufactured into sugar.
While the beets were undergoing the
process of being made into sugar,
small portion of the sugar was obtain
ed and moulded into a brick, and a
splendid specimen of granulated sugar
is now on exhibition alt the Mitchell
Drug company store. The sugar Is of
fine quality, clear as crystal and GER
tainly demonstrates beyond the per
adventure of a. doubt, that beets grown
in the Grand valley contain fully as
much saecharina matter as those
grown at Lehi Mr.. Mitchell is much
pleased with the results in the quality
of sugar, from the present shipment OF
beets.-Grand Junction Sentinel.
