concentrations for Mr.. Reed.

Washington, April 18.-As soon as the
vote was announced in the House yester-
day on the quorum counting rule, the
Republicans and Democrats who had
supported the rule joined in a round of
applause, which was shared in by the
galleries.
Then Representative Post of Illinois, o
Republican, came down the aisle and
warmly shook Mr.. Reeds hand, and his
example was followed by every man on
that side. They all pressed forward to
shake the hands of their leader and con-
graduate him on having won his fight.
Mr.. Reed took the hOnors very modest
ly, and said nothing in the way of a taunt
OF jibe, which would be offensive to the
other side.
While the congratulations were going
on page came into the house anu placed
on Mr.. Reeds desk magnificent bunch
of roses and other flowers. These had
been ordered by Mr.. Apsley.
When the Republicans had finished ex-
pressing their delight, Kilgore of Texas,
who had spoke against the rule and voted
in opposition to it, walked down the aisle
and shook Mr.. Reeds hand very warmly,
which was the signal for another hearty
burst of applause.
In the Reed Congress Mr.. Reed on one
occasion ordered the doors locked so that
members could not break a quorum, and
Mr.. Kilgore wanted to leave the House.
The door was locked and Mr.. Kilgore
promptly kicked it open, but all that was
forgotten.

DIDN'T GET THE GHOSTS.
So the Purchaser Is Suing the Former
owner of Gunner Place.

London, April 1s.-Ap odd action is
being tried in the courts here against
the Earl of Abingdon, at the instance
of Scott Hall. Some time ago, Mr.. Hall
entered into contract with the Earl's
agent for the purchase Of the Gunner
place, the agent, Mr.. Hall claims, rep
resenting it to be the house in which
Amy Robsart died. In further repre-
sentatlon of the desirability of the
purchase, the agent, it is alleged. as
serted that frequent appearances there
of the. ghosts of Amy Robsart, Varney,
and Anthony Foster had attracted a
large number Of visitors, among whom
were many Americans.
Upon these representations, Scott Hall
contracted to purchase the place, but
su bseq uently discovered as he claims
that the Gunner place. he had bought
was not the Gunner place in which Amy
Robsart was killed. Mr.. Hall declares
that the original Gunner place, the
scene of the death of Amy Robasrt, is
in ruins, and several miles from the
locality of his purchase. He therefore
seeks to have the contract Of purchase
aunulled.

his innocence. No money was found on
him. A protracted search revealed the

"Japan has powerful army in Corea
now, and they know how to fight. 1
think the Japanese army will soon at
tack the fortified city of Moukedum, in
Manchuria. Then look out for a hard
battle. China is showing weakness just
where Japan expected it. The former
has only few really good soldiers and
officers. The bulk OF them were at Ping

killed."

some EGects of the War.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-The effect
of the Corean war is already being felt
by the people of Japan. A large num-
ber of the Japanese attending private
and public schools in this city have re-
coived letters from their parents be-
wailing the present state of financial
and commercial stringency. Business
is practically at a standstill. The Chi
nese are affected in a like manner, and
one large firm which dealt extensively
in sea weed, one variety of which Is used
for food in the Orient, has already sus-
pended. The commercial relations be-
tween the hostile countries are for the
time being cut off, and as there is at
present little prospect of settlement,
the situation is not likely to change in
the immediate future. The letters
which have been received by the local
students state that the trades people are
in sore need of money. There is no sug-
gestion of actual want, but from the
tenor of the epistles there is every symp-
tom of the effect of the war being ap-
parent on all sides. In some cases ap-
peals have been made for money. AS
coon as the true scope of the war be-
came known here large number of
Japanese residing in this country,
w&o were members of the Japanese
army and were in San Francisco sim
ply on furlough, mustered together
and left for their native land. It is said
that should the Japanese government
call for volunteers, every one of its sub
iects residing in this country would i'm
mediately answer the call and return to
his home. Already subscriptions have
been started in the local colony and over
$4,000 collected. This sum was for
warded to the Japanese government for
the support of the hospitals for the
wounded and distribution among those
most affected by the war. Another
source of revenue for the mother coun-
try is the plans of the Japanese in this
state for accommodating funds by leaving
school and going into the country where
they can work at fruit-picking.
