RELATIVE STRENGTH.
Japan Would Win at First, but
Z. Numbers Would Tell.

WASHINGTON, July q. - Mr.. Tateno,
the Japanese Minister, said to-day that he
did not credit the Shanghai report Of a
declaration of war between China and
Japan None of his advices have indicated
The probability Of a conflict. and the latest
:. cablegrams received from his Government
date back a week. Had the report of a
declaration of war emanated from Yoko-
hama or Peking at or near the seat of the
respective Governments, it might have
some foundation. but the fact that the
report comes from Shanghai, long dis
Jsnce from either of the above-named
places, and where there are many
foreigners and Spectators, he said. was
almost convincing to him that the rumor
was incorrect.
The war rumor found no official confr-
nation at the State Department, which
naturally would be quickly advised of an
event of this importance by Minister Dunn
at Toxic. Still the belief is general in
Government circles that the situation is
very critical and it would not surprise
them if it appeared that the report is only
premature. Consequently there is already
some speculation as TO the outcome of
conflict between the two populous nations.
Probably the war would begin at sea, and
it is thought in naval circles that at the
start the Japanese would have the advan-
tage, owing to the fact that their vessels
are in condition for immediate service.
But as it stands the two nations are nearly
even in their naval strength.
The Chinese navy consists of thirty yes
sells, but many of these are small and OBJ
solete in type. There are five very effec-
tive .armored ships built within the last
twelve years. four being battle-sbips-
{. Chen Yuen. King Yuen, Lsi Yuen. and
Tong Yuen, and one, Ping Yuen, q coast
defense ship. There is also an armOred
wooden gun DOat-Tien Sing. These yes
q. sells are armed with Krupp guns. the
Chen Yuen of 7430 tons, carrying 12-iuch
rifles. There are nineteen cruisers carry
ing Armstrong and Krupp guns, TWO tor
pedO cruisers and several small gunships.
? The Japanese navy consists of thirty
two vessels Of all kinds, including five
armored ships-the Flu 500, Hi Yee, Kon
GO, Rio 10 and Tschi Yoda These range
in.toDnage from 1900 to 300 and are armed
with Krupp guns, lighter than the Chinese
battle-ships carry. There are fourteen
cruisers OF good size and well armed with
Krupp and Canet guns, seven gun vessels
of small tonnage, three cOast-defense sbips.
with 12-inch French rifles, half dozen
corvettqs and few tralning-ships.
This balance of resources does not ex-
tend to the army, in which China has an
enormous advantage in numbers. In time
d. Of peace China's army numbers 300, 900 to
. Japan's $4,000, but on war footing the
Chinese strength is 100000 men, while
the japanese forces under like conditions
are 10000 with 10000 police. In view of
these figures military experts here believe
that while japan might obtain tenn
porary advantage in the early stages of a
war with China she would be very likely
10 be ultimately overwhelmed by force of
numbers.

their foremen. Only a certain number
were allowed on the bridge at time, the
regulars assisting In carrying out this
plan. The regulars also lined the neigh

incidents and no disturbance whatever.

SIGNS POINT THAT WAY.
Senators Prepare to Defeat His
Scheme.
WHY HILL AIDED THE PRESIDENT
He Recognized That the Letter to
Wilson Had Blocked All Tariff
Legislation.

WASHINGTON, July 2L-Does Cleveland
mean to kill the tariff bill? Certainly the
action of Senator Villas in Offering his
amendment to change the sugar schedule
is being interpreted to-day to this effect.
Shrewd leaders all consider that Villas,
the chief cuckoo in the Senate, was play
ing the catspaw to Grover Cleveland when
he introduced the resolution, knowing
that vote on it meant the death of the
tariff bill. The reasons given are that it
is certain the Senate bill or nothing will
pass Congress, and that the President,
knowing this and having denounced the
Senate bill in such terms, could not sign it
if 1t came to him, and rather than take
the responsibility of killing the bill he
took this method of using Villas and at
tempting to kill it in its own home.
n one saw this quicker than did Senator
German. Willie the Louisiana Senators
were scouting and sputterng, German,
Vest Smith and Brlce were laying plans
to again defeat the President. Harris was
in the chair and could be relied upon. he
had already announced that he would de-
clare out of order all amendments TO the
Senate bill, aud that the Villas amendment
would go by the board, but the mere rul-
ing of this one amendment would not stop
the fight because it had been determined
10 follow one sugar amendment by an
other until one was secured by which a
vote On sugar would be had and the senti-
ment of the Senate thus expressed. There
fore the nspirators determined upon an
adjournment until Monday to arrange
their plans.
The vote showed how strong the con-
spirators are in the Senate. but it does not
show the strength of the free-sugar senti-
ment. To-day has been one of conferences
among Democrats and while German is nut
