Mikado Instigating War to Cure
Internal Discussions.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Prof. E. Warren
Clark, VINO went from Albany, n. Y, to
Japan. at the invitation of KatSu, admi-
raj Of the Japanese navy. to establish
two scientific schools on the American
plan, has some interesting ideas regard
ing the China-Japan war. Prof. Clark
Say S the war, so far as Japan is con-
cerned. is counterpart of the Franco
PrusSian war. Napoleon III. was a
long while seeking some cause of war
with Germany as a device for healing
the internal diSSenSionS, which at last
reached an acute stage and demanded u
foreign war as the only possible means
OF unifying once more the Freuch
people. 1t Is precisely for the
same reason. and with the same
intent, the Japanese emperor is pros
China over COrea. The traditional and
inveterate hatred of the japanese has
been invoked to cure most dangerous
movement at home. This dangerous
disSension in Japan concerns the for
elgner. There has been going on in the
country for several years growing re-
action against the progress OF ats rulers.
There never was a country in the weird
but Japan which has undertaken ana
carried through so many radical refor-
nations III such q short space OF time.
fhe drastic character of the reforms
and the endless number of them have
been source OF deep misery 10 the
masses. and have been carried out only
by the most mercileSS application of
brute force. The reaction has reached
..fn hill rl,r
eminent is threatened. Under the cir
cumstances there is nothing left the
Japanese emperor but the Napoleonic

abled engines and must be overhauled.
and when the Philadelphia comes in
from Hawaii, she, too. must be laid up
as her hull is in bad condition from
long exposure to tropical waters. The
Monterey could not carry coal enough
to cross the Pacific. That eXhausts the
list of United States vessels in the Pa
cine. OF course, some of the vessels of
the North Atlantic squadron might be
detached and sent to China, but even
by the most direct route, via the Suez
canal. it is estIm ated at the navy de-
partment that they would occupy three
months in the voyage and war might
be over by that time.
Members of the senate committee on
foreign affairs say that if treaty is to
be signed by all the powers such as is
desired, it will necessarily have to be
ratified by the senate. No proposition
has been made to the senate concerning
the treaty ports in Japan and China. 1t
is also said that treaty of the kind
would be liable to meet with Il great
deal of opposition, as it is considered by
many senators to be in the line of en-
tangllng foreign alliances and contrary
to the policy OF this country.

Chicago Mystery.

chicago MyStery.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 4.-The claims
of the two men. one Leon Long, of this
city, aud the other A. Nj. Sampson, Of
Tucson. AriZ., of the body of the wom-
all who died in Chicago, are possible of
solution when the circumSt ances under
which Longs wife left this city over
two years ago are taken into conSidera-
ton.
II is the belief of Longs daughters,
aud of his friends who knew Mrs. Long,
that it was she who died IN Chicago.
And further, it is their conviction that
She Travelled to Tuscon and became the
wife of Banker Sampson, but deserted
him and was on the way back to her
husband in this city wnen death inter

Seemingly she lived happily with her
husband and two daughters, but those
who were very intimate with her knew

husband. The one fact which makes
the identity of the woman at
Chicago possible is the knowledge
of the time when Sampson was married
to the woman whose body he believes is
buried at Chicago. Ii the marriage was
performed after June 25. 1892. when
Mrs. Long disappeared, it is likely both
men may be right ill their claims they
had been married to her; but if the
marriage was performed before that
date, the present mystery is not fully
cleared I'D,
