Bids Grover goodbye.

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-Mr. Ia
teno, the japanese minister, pre-
scented his letters of recall to the
President today. He was accom-
panied to the White House by Sec
rotary Gresham. The usual ex-
change of speeches between the
President and the minister was
made. The speeches made clear
the fact that the minister's
recall was in no way due
to any friction between the
two governments, or between the
minister and diplomatic officers
of the United States.

struck at Mr.. BROKER with
both fists, striking him in the face.
Mr.. BROKER then cOllared Mr..
Brann, forcing him against the
railing and against the glass front
Of the building, nearly breaking
the heavy glass. The crowd began
gathering from all directions to
rush into the office and Mr.. Frank
johnson, who happened to be in
the office at the time, quickly
closed the doors, and then Mr..
Brooker threw Mr.. Brann to
the floor and sat upon him.
By dint Of hearty. blows upon
Brann's face and head he compelled
the latter to cry "enough"; but be-
fore he let him up he exacted from
the conquered foe the confession
that he was coward and had done
wrong, and also a promise that if
he would let him up he would do
anything BROKER said and would
not attempt to take advantage,
either with or without arms,
of Mr.. BROKER. The judge
told him he had great.
mind to kill him while he
had him, but after exacting
every promise in a legal, regular
way, the Judge let his man up and
told MIN that hereafter he must
expect Just such treatment il he
made personal attacks on Brooker.
He also made Mr.. Brann promise
to publish a card retracting his at
tack and acknowledging himself all
that Mr.. BROKER had called
him. The two men then cool

crowd were trying to break

EARTHQUAKE AND ROCKETS
Peculiar Natural Phenomena Over
California Last Night.

Los ANGELOS, Cal, July 3d.
This city was shaken by an earth
quake last evening at 9:ll O'Clock.
The prevailing direction was from
northeast to southwest, though
most OF the movement was more
of an upheaving than Of an undu-
latory character. 1t is described
as sharp shock, but not do
ing much damage. At Acton
there were three distinct shocks,
the most severe ever felt in this
region, but no particular damage
is reported. A peculiar feature of
the affair at that place, however,
was that Immediately after the
vibrations had ceased large
meteor, similar to the one that at
tracted so much attention on Fri
day night here, was seen to fall in
the north. 1t appeared like an
immense ball of blue fire and APP
parently moved from the zenith to
the north in a rapid way.

Gas Burner Talks.

To the Daily LIGHT.
Since you were kind enough to,
publish my views, a few days ago,
on a growing demand for reduc-
ton Of prices on electric and gas
light to private consumers, | have
had a talk with my ward alder
man, who seemed to be in favor OF
4O&6 reduction, but he believed
nothing would be done until the
sewerage question is settled. He
claims it is their first duty to find
labor for our unemployed working
men who are now again threatened
with a large number being thrown
out Of employment unless the city
council denies the petition Of all
the street railroads asking an
ordinance to allow them to
discharge their conductors and
thereby increase the number
of worthy and deserving
men. He plainly told me that
men who could light three houses
with costly lights were secondary
consideration with him, but as
matter of Justice, he would be for
an ordinance largely reducing and
regulating cost of private lights.
He thinks some friends Of the gas
company now in the council would
maintain, that as the city is the.
largest patron it should have the
best price, and does not believe we
could get a reduction of o evr 30 per
cent. but for a difference OF . per
cent. He thinks, it can and will be
regulated for. GAS BURNER

PERSONAL JOURNALISM AND NDI-
VIDUAL PUGILISM.
The Exhibitor of the Express is
Licked by His one-Armed Ad-
versary, in the Office of the
Light-The Start and
the Finish.

A personal encounter occurred
this morning about 1890 o'clock,
in the business office of the LIGHT
between ex-Editor w. c. Brann, Of
the Express, and w. H. BROKER,
the we'll known lawyer. The causes
which led up to the trouble dates
from last week, when Mr.. BROKER,
writing to the Houston Post, pub
lished a letter in defense of Gov.
Hogg's position in regard TO the
speech recently made to the militia
in Austin, and which the Express
reporter, it is claimed, reported
the Governor wrong. The letter
of Judge BROKER was answered
in the editorial columns Of the Ex-
press last Saturday by Mr.. Brann
over his signature and was a
searching, personal attack on
BROKER, which created a sensa-
ton.
Saturday, all day and until S
o'clock at night Mr.. BROKER look
ed for Mr.. Brann, but could not find
him, as he was not known to
BROKER, and the latter did not
know him even at sight. Mr..
BROKER had card for publication,
answering Brann and calling him
poltroon and coward. This
was not published in the Express,
but a disclaimer appeared in
the Express yesterday, in which
the paper expressed its regrets
that Brann's card had appeared in
the editorial columns, and this
morning the Express came out
without the editorial assistance of
Mr.. Brann.
About 10 O'Clock this morning
Mr.. Brooker walked into the
LIGHTs business office and referred
the following card to the manager
Of the LIGHT, for publication:
