about by his ability. First, We find
the case of John Schonaur in which a
pair of old blankets were the question
of dispute. This case put costs on the
county amounting to over $50. In the
arson case tried here last week at a
special term of court, the county was
put to upwards Of 500 expense and no
conviction. In the case of the state
against Sturdevant, tried here last
week the case was thrown out of court.
The prosecution not having any evil
dence for cause of action, and thus it
goes and thousands of dollars of the
county's money is spent and no convic-
lions. In liquor cases he has prose-
cuted DR.. Reilly and has not convicted
him at two terms of court. What has
he done in Langdon? This is the man
that lauds himself to the skies as a
great benefactor to the county. This
is the man who endeavors to keep his
brother-in-law, Laidlaw, in a position
he never claimed to fill. This is the
bank president who takes his salary
from the county and is using the coun-
ty funds and then howls and says
others shall have not cent but leave
it all with President Kessler and the
ring, of which he is a main link-the

NOT NOTIFIED OF WAR YET.
Tho Japanese Consul Has Implicit
Faith in His Governments.

Mr.. Maoyemon Hashiguchi. the Japan
csc Consul at this port, sat in his office
at Warren street this noon smoking a
large perfecto and opening the Oriental
mail that had Just come In.
Mr.. Hashiguchi requires second
glance to reveal his Oriental origin He
wears his hair and an ample beard at
Partisan cut and dresses like New
York business man. Al the same time
he speaks English fiuently and with just
a slight accent.
He was interested in the dispatches
printed In the morning papers announc-
Ing the declaration OF war between
Japan and China, but he had no official
Information on the subject. He thinks
that his home ministry Is wise, and II
they declare war against China they will
be amply able to make very effective
campaign.
He conceded China her superior popu-
lation, but regarded the primitive mill
tary tactics and equipments. to which
she still adheres as a serious disadvan-
tage.
The last telegram he received from
Japan came several days ago. when he
was informed of the tight between Jap
snese troops and Corean mob In
Seoul.
Among the papers in his mail was
the Toxic Ji-Ji. The only thing In II
The evening world., 1894-07-27

that the reporter could read was, sig
niflcantly enough, q part OF the adver-
tiseinesits Of I'M. American pistol manu-
factory. There was q large picture, rep
resentins the murder and robbery Of one
man by many.
The Consul explained that 1t illustrate
ed an episode OF twenty years ago,
when Japanese student in Seoul was
robbed and murdered by crowd Of
Coreans and Chinese. That episode, to-
gether with remote and recent incidents
that will infame the popular Japanese
mind against Corea and China. Is be-
ing published and illustrated by the
JILL. which Is adding its influential
voice to the general clamor for war.
A call was made about the same time
at the Chinese Consulate at rs West
Ninth street. A fat Chinaman with a
howery shirt hanging outside a pair OF
blue pajamas answered the bell.
A cloister-like silence pervaded the
house and a few fantastic ornaments
could be seen inside. Consul Shen Woon
was not to be seen Just then. and the
reporter was told to call again.
The Chinese Consul and his household
adhere to their native costumes and Gus
toms and have very little to say on mat
tiers OF public polity. which Is a very dis
Greet position to take when too much
talkee may cost the talker his head.

WASHINGTON. July N-The Demo-
cratic Senators feel very confident that
they will have the Tariff bill back in
conference without any instructions
from the Senate.
While the matter of instructions de-
ponds very largely on the vote of Sena-
tor Stewart, the general impression is
that he will not vote at all. and the vote
then being tie the motion to instruct
will be lost.
1t is possible that direct vote on the
question may not be reached.
Senator Harris, who occupies the
chair, will decide Mr.. washburn's mo-
ton out Of order. An appeal will then
be taken. and the vote will then come
on sustaining or overruling the Chair.

CHINA MEANS TO win.
Japan May Come Out Ahead in
the First Skirmishes.
But Millions viii Go Out Against
the mikado's Troops.
Celestials Believe They VIII Drive
Their Enemies from Corea.
lBy Associated Presal


TEN TSIN, China, July 27.-The grav-
ity Of the situation Is fully realized here.
now that hostilities between China and
Japan have commenced.
Considerable anxiety is expressed here
as to the result Of the war. The general
opinion seems to be that, while Japan
may be looked upon as likely to score
the first victories. the Chinese troops
will eventually drive the Japanese out
Of Corea. even II millions of men have
to be sent to the front to do SO.
In Government circles here 1t is ad-
mitted that China and Japan are now
at war. The official announcement to
that effect may not be made for several
days, however, as. at the suggestion Of
the representatives Of the powers, pour
parlers are still in progress.
But nobody here, close to the authori-
ties at Pekin. believes for a moment
that the disputes between China and
Japan in regard to Corea can be set
tied without a considerable amount of
bloodshed on both sides.
The Chinese and Japanese hate each
other. and now that the first shots have
been exchanged. and China has the
worst of the engagements. nothing but
decisive struggle between the two
countries can be anticipate.
Japan has been preparing for this very
crisis for years. and for this reason, IL
for no other she will resent any Euro
pean interference.
The first overt act Of war. as already
cabled exclusively to the Associa ted
Press. occurred on Tuesday last The
Japanese fired on and sunk the steam
ship kow Shung, belonging to Hugh
Mathieson 4 Co.. Of London, which had
been chartered by the Chinese Govern.
ment to convey troops to Corea.
According to report Japanese cruiser
sighted the Kow Shung and ran within
easy range Of, her She then signalled
the transport to put back The trans
port continued steaming ahead until the
cruiser fired a shot across her bows.
No attention being paid to this shot,
according to the story, the Japanese
cruiser opened fire upon the transport
in earnest. put number OF shot into
her, and the transport eventually sunk
with all hands.
1t Is believed that there must have
been about a thousand Chinese soldiers
on board. This. however, is mere con-
lecture.
A number Of trading boats belonging
to Chinese companies, which have been
intimately connected with the Mathie-
sons steamers, In the China coast trade,
have been taken over by Hugh Mathie-
son & Co.. and will hereafter fly the
British flag.
So far as the two navies are con-
cerned, China has about thirty war
ships. large and small, Of which Ave
are fairly good armored ships, armed
with Krupp guns. In addition. she has
chartered a number Of transports, and
and these are being armed as rapidly as
possible, and with the best guns China
Is able to procure.
The Japanese Navy also consists Of
about thirty war vessels. including Ave
armored ships, carrying Krupp guns.
1t Is believed that the Japanese naval
officers are superior to those Of China.
and the Japanese warships are also
believed to be In better condition than
the Chinese.

After his disgraceful conduct of yes

hid behind cloud this morning
and Didn't report for business until

In the mean time, Soils partner, HUI
nudity, loaded up the atmosphere with
81 per cent Of moisture. Humidity
played star part last night also, to
the evident discomfort of a vast major
ity OF the local population. Although
the mercury In the thermometer regis
tered degrees cooler than on the night
previous, yet 30 per cent. Of humidity
for twelve hours made it close and
sultry.
The cool wave, which came in about
II o'clock last night, is responsible for
the haze which hung over the North and
East Rivers up to o'clock this morn
Ing, and for the heavy fog over the New
Jersey and New England coasts.
The cool spell is enjoyed only IN this
city, and northward throughout the New
England States. To the South and West,
as FAR as the Mississippi River, the tenn
perature is higher than 1t was yester-
day.
In Boston and Albany the mercury
was at 70 at 8 o'clock this morning,
while at Philadelphia, Washington,
Pittsburg and Milwaukee 1t was 80. BY
q strange coincidence. st. Paul, MINI.

United states. with the Thermometer at
nesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and the
lower lake regions are all hot and still
heating to-day. with little prospect Of a
change for the better.
Weather Man Dunn expressed the
opinion this morning that the local cool
wave would not last the day out. He
expects 1t to be warmer this afternoon
and evening. with a prospect of thunder
showers tonight.
Tomorrow will be generally fair and
considerably warmer. There is not an
other cool spell in sight anywhere, and il
may be some time before Mr.. Dunn can
scare up one.
The pilots on the North and East River
ferry-boats report haze over the rivers
this morning. which disappeared shortly
after o'clock. There was no fog to
speak Of. they said, and II was sum
