MILITIA DRILL. CONTEST.
The Morton Cadets of This City Will
Take Part.

1t is probable that the only companies to
participate in the competitive drill at Alex
ander Island in connection with the Grange
Camp fair, will be the Morton Cadets of
this city and the Harrisonburg Guards Of
Harrisonburg, Va. The latter organization
is due in Washington at 2 O'Clock tomorrow

a committee from the Morton Cadets and
escorted to the camp grounds.
Two drills are to be held at Alexander

ginia troops, and another on Friday, open
to Maryland. Virginia, West Virginia and
District OF Columbia troops. The first prize
on Thursday Is to be $500 and the second
prize $3.50 On Friday but one prize Is Of
fered, $500, but should the tlrfl be won by
a Virginia company successful on Thurs
day. the purse will be divided, the success
full company receiving 500 and the second
and third companies a,similar amount AS

on the prize. and, therefore, even should
the Harrisonburg Charts come out ahead
of the Morton Cadets On Friday, the latter

The latter company, however, is con-
fident of victory. It. has been drilling sew

WILL HAVE TO PAY HIGH DUTIES.

Importers of Copra and CocOanuts I'm
pleasantly Surprised.
SAN FRANCISCO. September 1S-Several
vessels have arrived. or are due from
Tahiti. with cargoes Of copra and cocoa
nuts. contracted for before the new duty
went into effect. One of them will have to
pay 1890 duty on inbound nuts.
Nearly six months ago the new oil works
at Berkeley, seeming profit affair." sent a
special agent to Samoa, Tahiti and other
places with instructions to buy up or con-
tract for 100000 tons of cocoanuts to be
shipped to San Francisco per vessels to be
ramed thereafter by the purchasers. This
concern Is now In a position to be obliged
to pay the United States something like
$4,000 in duty 1t did not figure on. The
Wilson bill provided for a duty Of 30 per
cent ad valorem on copra and 60 per cent
on cocoanuts, a clause which the importers
did not anticipate.
"Cocoanut OIL" explained a dealer, rs
now nearly all made in Germany and the
new tariff measure admits this oil free of
duty, while an enormously increased tax
Is put on the raw material.
about 100000 pounds of copra finds its
way to America every three months from
just one certain group of islands alone, and
this raw material is made into oil and ship
ped into this country free. Nobody sus-
pected for one moment that Wilson and
his cohorts would bother about changing
the old tariff law. because under 1t the
oil was taxed and the raw material entered
by payment Of a small duty.
Protection against the manufactured ar
ticles is what We wanted. without It our
island trade Is bound to die out. I be-
lieve that certain firm in San Francisco
stands to lose $4,000 on copra contracted
for before the rise in the tariff. These
people will probably turn around and ship
to Europe. thus depriving this country of
the trade"

Governor Flower Causes a Political
Sensation.
NOT A CANDIDATE FOR REMUNERATION
Result Of an Interview With the
New York Senators.
THEY DECLINE TO TALK

ALBANY, N. Y. September 1S-Gov.
Flower today declined to be a candidate
for denomination for governor. He made
this determination known at noon to the
Associated Press correspondent, after q
long interview with Senators Hill and MUIR
ply. Both came to the executive chamber
shortly before 10 o'clock.
At the conclusion Of the interview Gov
Flower said: II am convinced that my
nomination. II it should be accorded to me
by the convention. would not be so likely
TO command the full vote of the party as
would be the nomination of some other
democrat, and I am too DESTROYS of party
success to be a candidate under these cir
cumstances."
At the conclusion of the conference this
morning Senator Murphy declined to be in
tervfewed. He said, however. that the dec
hnation of the governor to be a candidate
had been wholly voluntary, and that no in
nuences had been brought to bear on him.
When Senator Hin was approached he
was silent, and with one of his character
istic smiles said he did not know any,
thing.
When Senator Hill left the executive
chamber he went direct to the residence of
Jonn Il. Thatcher. This is said to have a
great deal of significance as Mr. Thatcher
mas been mentioned as candidate for gov
ernor.

HE JAPANESE MINISTER
He Talks With Star Reporter on the Re
cent Victory.
The News Confirmed by Cable Mes
sage-Thinks Japanese Troops VIII
Enter Pekin by November,

The japanese minister has received a
cable message from his government at
TOXIC confirming yesterdays press dis
patches of the japanese victory over the
chinese army. The message stated that
the Chinese numbered more than 10000, and
That with the exception of a very few who
fled the rest were either killed, wounded or
taken prisoners, including the Chinese COM
mander, Gen. Tso. A very large quantity
OF provisions and arms and munitions of
war We're taken. The japanese loss was 300
killed and wounded.
Mr.. kurinO Elated,
This was mail day at the Japanese Ie-
cation and every one was very busy. but
Mr.. Kurino, the japanese minister to the
United States. found opportunity to talk to
Star reporter for a moment about the
victory Of yesterday. OF course the minister
was highly elated at the result of the hat
tie, which he considers one of the greatest
battles which has occurred in that uuarte,
of the globe in many years
He attributes the sweeping victory of the
Japanese army to the superiority of their
military tactics. armament and also to the
courage and enthusiasm which his country
men displayed
VIII Push ON to Pelsin.
1T will not end there" Mr.. Kurino said.
but the Japanese forces will push on to
Pekin. the capital of China We are not
fighting fer glory or tbs love of conquest.
but We are struggling for a settlement of
the Asiatic question with China, and until
satisfactory agreement Is reached the
japanese will continue to prosecute the
war. China's relations with Corea have
been such as to produce many complies
tions. constantly recurring in the Corean
question, and now that the campaign has
commenced Japan will insist upon a set
Element of the Corean question once for
all. and an understanding upon other mat
tiers at issue in the east"
No Long Delay.
Mr.. Kurino entertains the opinion that
the Japanese troops will enter Pekin in n
very few weeks very likely by the month
of November. He is not informed whether
the army which won yesterdays victory
will be used for the invasion of China or
whether other troops will be utilized. for
the Japanese have plenty of forces at hand
to furnish an adequate invading army.
