WAR DECLARED.
London Reports the China-Japan Con-
hict On-American Interest.

London, July 2O.-A dispatch received
here this afternoon from Shanghai says
that rumor is in circulation that war has
been declared between China and Japan.
Washington.-The administration Off
cials are glad that there will be two war
ships in the vicinity Of Corea in view of
prospective fighting between Japan and
China, as their presence will insure pro-
lection to Americans and their property.
Our interests in Corea are small, but
nevertheless it is the intention of the
officials to look after them as thoroughly
as though they were much more valuable.
1t is probable that the Baltimore will
remain at Chemulpo, while the Monocacy
will remain on the coast of the Hermit
Kingdom, so that in case of necessity she
can be hurried to any point where Ameri-
can interests are endangered.

ANOTHER DEFAULTER
NATIONAL BANK OF COMMERCE. OF
NEW YORK ROBBED.
Thirty Thousand Dollars Appropri-
ated by Edward II. Carter, n Clerk
of the Institution.

NEW YORK, Dec 26.-Edward r. Car
ter. transfer and coupon clerk of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce, at No. % Mas
sau street, was arrested this afternoon
a defauter Carter is charged with appro-
priatng $4,000 of the banks money, and,
it is said, confessed his guilt. He is forty
four years old and lived with his wife and
two children, a daughter twenty-five years
old, and son twelve years old. In Brook
lyn- For twenty-nine years Carter has been
in the employ of the bank According to the
story he told to the police he began his
peculations twenty years ago, at first taking
only small sums. He would say very little
about himself to the police and maintained
silence as TO what induced him to take the
money and as to what he did with it.
With the bank officials he was not so reti-
cent as a statement made by w. W. Sher-
man, president of the bank, later in the
afternoon. shows. This statement is as fol-
lows:
THE National Bank of Commerce has
suffered a defalcation by its transfer and
coupon clerk, Edward r. Carter, amount
ing to $4,000. Carter was twenty-nine years
in the bank, and began as a messenger boy
being promoted from time to time. till he
reached his present position. Among his
other duties he was required to receive and
pay coupons and maturing bonds. On COM
pairing a balance this morning the officers
discovered a discrepancy of some s2s 900.
which he accounted for by claiming to have
paid in error that amount of bonds before
their maturity. When asked TO produce the
bonds he was unable to do so, and admitted
his guilt. 1t is not learned that he specu-
lated or INDUCED, in any vices. He claimed
to have used the money i'm his living
penses. The loss. of course, is not serious
one for the bank which has a capital stock
of S5,00O.000 and surplus and undivided
profits of s5,50O000, but the defalcation is
none the less distressing. Carter had the
confidence of all who came in contact with
him"
Beyond this official statement no officer
of the bank would say anything about the
matter.

ELECTION REPEATERS
ACCORDING TO THE GRAND JURY
THERE WERE MANY At ST. LOUIS.
Over Fifty Persons Indicted for yio-
lating Election Laws-SheriR-E Elect
Among the Number.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 26.-The grand jury to-
day made its final report to Judge Ed
munds, of the Criminal Court. The report
i5, in Its relation to the recent election, of
81 sensational character. In the batch of
l7S true bills returned over finy are for
election crimes. and included N these are
Indictments charging Sheriff-elect Henry
Troll and his son Charles, who is deputy
in Collector Ziegenhein's office. with brib-
cry. These two politicians. together with
James Hagserty. of the House OF Delegates.
are the most prominent ones against whom
true bills were found.
Among the indicted are John Clifford.
Anthony G. Walsh, Thomas Mcmahon.
William Cronin. Thomas Murphy and Geo.
L. Murphy, police officers, who are charged
with oppression in office at the last cleo
ton. Many of those Indicted have been ar
rested and released on bond and others are
yet to be taken into custody. oheriff-elect
Troll gave bond In the sum of $500 to ap-
pear and answer the charge against him.
Mr.. Troll refuses to discuss the indictments
further than to say. that when the case
comes to trial he Will not nave any trouble
showing that he, as Well as his son. are
innocent. 1t Is stated that other indct-
menrS ia ar nave We h Deen withheld M from publication
the arrests on bench warrants. 1t is
rumored that prominent politicians are
among the number, the publication of whose
names will cause a sensation.
The report Of the grand jury dwells at
length on the abuses and loose methods at
present existing In the election laws, and
suggests certain remedies whereby these
evils can be eradicated, or at least so modi-
hed as to present less opportunities for the
wholesale frauds and corrupt practices
prevalent in the holding of elections under
the present system. In part the report
says: THE members of the grand jury are
of the unanimous opinion that the number
of persons engaged in repeating at the last
election furnished Is less than generally
supposed. but it appears from the informa-
ton furnished that the persons voted from
twice to twenty times each. 1t does not
appear that these repeaters were paid or
promised any considerable sum of money.
The repeaters appear to have been gen.
orally selected from the class bearing
police record; that is, they have at some
time been in jail or the penitentiary and
were, therefore, persons well known to
the police. The reward of the repeaters
appears to have consisted chiefly of prom
ises from their leaders from immunity from
punishment for illegal voting and of the
promise of protection and assistance should
they come within the clutches of the law
at some future time"

STORY OF AN EX-POLICEMAN
MONEY COLLECTED FROM SALOONS,

And Paid to Captains Webb, DOherty,
Eal<in and SchuItz-One Dribe
Taker Sentenced.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2e.-Next to Superin-
tendent Byrnes. Inspector Alexander Will
liams is looked on by the residents of this
city as the man who knows every detail
I'm connection with the police department Of
New York. 1t was made known that he
would be called as a witness before the
Lexow committee to-day, and there were
numerous applicants for admission to the
court room. Lawyers, doctors, bankers,
brokers and men about town scrambled for
seats to hear the famous knight of the
Club and inquisitor Goff cross foils in a
wordy fencing match.
During the early part OF the proceedings
former wardmans Shelby. who was police
man Hassey's partner in the Twelfth pre-
cinct, was examined and lie told about his
collections of bribe money from saloon
keepers, proprietors of houses OF i'll fame
and policy shops. He accused Captains
Webb retired), Doherty, Eakin and Schultz
of receiving the bribes. During Schutz's s
regime he said that the blackmail on policy
shops was raised 10 per cent, and that in
nine months he paid over to Schultz about
$500.
Detective Sergeants "Phil' Reilly and
Jake Won Gerichten were called after
recess and they said they attended the
races at Saratoga during their vacations,
and that they received money from the
owners of the track for keeping crooked
persons" away from it, but they denied ever
having divided the money they got with
any of the police officials In New York.
Inspector Williams was then called and
every one was on tip-toe of expectation.
He was dressed in full uniform and seemed
to be as unconcerned as if he was going to
testify against an ordinary drunk and
disorierly." In reply ets..A.a GcH he said
he learned the trade of ship carpenter, and,
previous to 1866 when the joined the force.
he had charge of ship yards in China and
japan When he left there he was worth
from $1,000 to $4,000 and had property In
Japan. He accounted for his transactions
I'm real estate and swore positively that he
was never directly or indirectly connected
with the sale of Hollywood whisky. The
inspector had frequently been accused OF
having an interest in the company which
handled this brand of liquor. and 1t was
stated that by displaying the company
sign i'm prominent place the proprietors
of saloons were protected from arrest or
annoyance for violation of the excise laws.
Williams denounced Schmittberger as a
liar. and said he was prompted to lie by a
promise of immunity given by the Lexow
committee. He met Mr.. Goff's attacks
stubbornly and frequently aroused merri-
ment by his answers TO several questions.
After seventy minutes OF fencing Mr.. Goff
asked for an adjournment until tomorrow
morning, and the majority of the spectators
said that Williams was the toughest
witness that the investigator had met as
vet. 1t is expected that the examination
of the Inspector will occupy the whole OF
tomorrow 5 session.
