Washington, D. c., Aug. S.-[Special.l
The House, this afternoon, passed a
bill authorizing officers with official
seals. and who are authorized to take
|oaths under state or territorial stat
utes. to take all affidavits relating to
land entries, thus saving expense to
applicants, by relieving them from ne
cessity of appearing before register or
receiver of the land office. In case OF
|contests over agricultural or general
character of land, testimony may be
taken, as the commissioner of the gen
eral land office may direct. 1t is also
provided that the presence of rock in
place of deposits bearing gold, silver,
cinnabar or other valuable mineral
shall be prima facie evidence of the
general character of the land, and in
taking evidence Of the character of the
land testimony as to the mineral char
acter of adjacent land may be taken as
Icorroborative evidence. and except in
Utah, mineral character will be pre-
sumed if land is within a well-def1ned
mineral belt. The exception Of Utah
from the last provision is due to the
efforts of Mr. Rawlins.

IN THE SERVICE OF JAPAN.
Anyone May Accept a Commission if
He Can Get 1t.

Washington, Aug. S.-Though the
United States neutrality law forbids
the enlistment Of Americans for SER
vice in Japan, there is no way of pre-
venting any one from accepting a COM
mission in the Japanese army or navy,
If he can get it. In the case of Major
WATSON, it happens that he possesses a
decoration and commission Of honor
which makes him citizen of Japan if
he elects to be one. Tt is understood
here that Lieutenant Richard Graham
Davenport, u. S. N, has been made
the commander of a man-of-war of the
first class by the Japan minister of
marine. Lieutenant Davenport served
nearly ten years in the japanese wat
ers and was the interpreterwof the adj
miral of the United States fleet. He
knows the japanese tongue better than
any officer of the navy and would,
therefore, be ablesto take a high COM
mand. 1t is pretty certain that any
American with a military education
and a good social record, who could
speak the language well enough to
command troops, would have no diff
Guilty in obtaining a commission under
the mikado. If Lieutenant Davenport
can obtain two years leave he may
accept the position rendered him, but
he will not relinquish his United States
commission to do SO.

REPUBLIC OF HAWAII.
1t Has Been Formally Recognized b!
the United States.

1t Has Been Formally Recognized BY
the United States.
New York, Aug. S-A World dispatch
from Washington says:
The republic of Hawaii has been for
mally recognized by the United States
through the secretary Of state.
! The republican government in Ha-
wall, it will be remembered, was set up
July 4th. On the following day, Min
lister Willis extended recognition, so far
as it was within his power, to the new
republic. Mr.. Willis action has been
discussed, but no decision was reached
until today, when Secretary Gresham,
under the direction of the president,
sent a formal note to the minister, ap-
lproving his course.
Although the text Of Mr.. Gresham s
letter has not been made public, it is
understood that the president extended
| to the new republic the hearty good
wishes of the United States. The Eepre-
lsentauves Of the dethroned queen
started for Washington as soon as the
new republic was proclaimed, and they
/ have been here for several days, en-
deavoring to induce the state depart
ment to withhold recognition, and to
insist that Liliuokalani be extended the
assistance of the government in her eff
forts to regain power. The action today
| disposes Of the whole question, and
lcloses the unfortunate diplomatic Incl
dent.
| Secretary Gresham visited the capitol
today and informed Senator Gray, of
the Senate Foreign Relations commit
Itee, and Chairman McCreary, of the
House committee on Foreign Affairs.
that the president had formally recog-
nized the Hawaiian republic. No Off
cial announcement was given out for
publication today, and for this reason
neither Senator Gray nor McCreary
would discuss the subject

Cheyenne, wy, Aug. S.-rSpeciaI.1-
The largest and most representative
Democratic convention in the history
of the state assembled in this city this
morning.
N. A. Corthell, of Laramie, and NJ.
L. Blake. of Sheridan, were made per-
manent chairman and secretary by
the committee on organization.
The convention has been waiting all
day for the report of the committee on
resolutions.
The platform was reported at 10
o'clock tonight, after u hours work.
1t reaffirms faith in the principles of
| the Democratic party; charges the
business depression to the misrule Of
the Republican party for thirty years;
criticiSeS the present Republican Of
ficials for gross neglect Of duty; de-
clares in favor of free coinage at Is to
| l; declares in favor of an elective state
board of arbitration, and demands
economy in national and state affairs
and the election of United States sena-
tors by direct vote of the people. The
platform also states that the party in
this state is not in accord with the
efforts of the administration to put
! the country on gold basis.
! This precipitated a lively fight for an
hour. when the report was referred
back to the committee on resolutions
and the convention took recess until
morning when state officers will be
nominated.
The following plank relates to Utah:
1--WE heartily endorse the action of
| the present administration in conferr-
| ing the dignity of statehood upon our
sister commonwealth Utah, and ex-
| tend her our hearty congratulations
upon the suspicious event We also
urge that the same treatment be
promptly extended to Arizona and

MORE DANGEROUS THAN GUNS.
Season of the Monsoon and Typhoon
Approaching.

Senson of the Monsoon and Typhoon
Approaching.
Washington, Aug. SIN speaking of
the probabilities Of the pending war be-
tween Japan and China, an official of
the japanese legation recalled the fact
that the season of the monsoon and the
typhoon is now rapidly approaching.
The presence of the former is not re-
garded as a menace to sea maneuver-
ing, but fear is felt for the latter.
The typhoon is a revolving wind
storm, whose effects are disastrous.
1t is believed by the officials Of the
legation that the naval movements
during the typhoon season, at least, will
be somewhat curtailed. The Chinese
will not venture great distance from
their coast, but will keep close to port.
Japan, it is thought, will wage an
aggressive war against China, and some
Of her objective points, in all proba-
bility, will be the Chinese ports. AL
ready reports have reached here of high
gales off the Chinese coast that have
compelled all craft but the staunchest
steamers to seek shelter in port.
Naval officers say that when the
dreaded typhoon sets in, there is moth
ing to do but run from. It., The United
States steamer Marion was struck by a
storm of this kind a few months ago,
when beginning her voyage home from
China to San Francisco. She emerged
in a damaged condition, or had mar
row escape, notwithstanding she is
splendidly built buat and was in the
hands of the ablest navigators in the
navy. When vessels are not sunk by
the typhoon, they are frequently driven
far out Of their course, SO it will be
seen that naval operations between
Japan and China are likely to be con-
Quoted at great risk.
For this reason operations of the
fleets will probably be restricted to a
minimum,

New York. Aug. s.-The Associated

America is more involved than ever,
and that Captains O'Neill and Sumner
had telegraphed to the secretary of
state at Washington for Instructions
General Cabezas arrived off Bluefelds
July 81, coming down the river from
Rama, with 500 troops in American
launches belonging to the Mobile Fruit
and Trading company and flying the
American flag. The launches had been
seized before Captain O'Neili visited
Cabazas and compelled a surrender as
well as a written promise that they
would not be touched again.
Nevertheless. they were seized during
the night, and the crew compelled to
man the boats at the point of the bay
onet.
Cabezas claimed they were Mica
raguan property, and that the crews
went willingly and were paid for their
services. Captain O'Neill refused to
believe the story, especially as the
crews made affidavits to the contrary.
He refused to shake hands with Ca
bezas, and forced the launches to get
away after they had landed the troops
at Bluefields, SO they could not be used
again.
Captain Stuart, of the British cruiser
Mohawk, sent his men ashore to aid
the American soldiers in guarding for

The fight of the day came on the
bill approprat1ng S4,0OO,000 for the cree
ton of a public building at Chicago on
the present site.
Mr.. Dockery made a point of order
against the appropriation, and on Mr..
Blacks motion it was stricken out.
Mr.. Black then, after brief state
ment of the urgent necessity for a
building at Chicago, moved that the
bill be laid aside with favorable
recommendation, and it carried-141

However, if any power except China
