CAUSE FOR ACTION.
The Suit Against the New York Times
Publishing Company.

New YORK, August GA number of
suits have been begun in the Supreme
Court against the New York Times Pub
fishing Company by stockholders OF the
corporation to set aside their subscrip-
tons for stock on the ground that the
subscriptions were obtained by fraudu-
lent representations. In the suits filed
the compliments allege that they were
induced to subscribe to the stock of the
company on the basis of bona-fide sub
scriptions for total of 5000, 600 to $780,
coo. and that the capitalization OF the
company was not to exceed these totals
by more than 100000. In one OF the
bills of complaint, filed by Charles F.
Watson, the allegation is made that the
company was capitalized for 81, $50, 600
without the knowledge of the plaintiff,
and that 1886, 600 of the stock was given
to the promoters of the company with
out any money consideration being re-
ceived therefor, the capital being thereby
watered to at least that amount, and
that, while the plaintiff and others sub
scribed for their stock in full, only one
half of the capital stock of the company
has been officially reported as " in good
faith " subscribed. The plaintiffs also
contend that before beginning these suits
they demanded four different times to
be allowed to inspect the original sub
scription agreement, but the company
refused to exhibit Or to furnish a copy
of it to the plaintiffs or their attorneys.
The narrative of the purchase of the
Times by the present owners is told in
detail in the bill filed by Mr.. Watson.
He says that in 1898 he was induced to
subscribe for $40, 900 of the stock upon
the representations already cited, and
not until he had paid for his stock in
full was he aware that the capitalization
had been increased to 81 ,250,0 900, and
that the stock was subject to restrictions
placed upon the tranler of the news
paper, although no such restrictions had
been referred to in any of the statements
made to him and based upon which he
had paid for his stock. The plaintiff
declares that he has made an effort to
obtain a copy Of the subscription paper
or permission to inspect it, but without
result, and demands the return of his
subscription. In a similar complaint,
Richard Sibley demands the return OF
$4,000 paid by him for stock in the
paper.
The Times changed hands in the spring
OF 1893, being sold by George Jones' es-
tate and those who were associated with
the late Mr.. Jones to the syndicate re-
ferred to in the complaint.

LONDON, August 3.-The Earl OF Kim

ceived a dispatch this moming from
Hugh Fraser, British Minister in Toxic
announcing the declaration of war
Kimberley was visited this afternoon by
the japanese Minister, who personally
communicated to him similar an
nouncement of the declaration. The
Earl, upon receiving from the envoy
official notice of the declared war, de-
clared that Great Britain would remain
neutral in the matter, although the
British government would take steps to
safely guard British interests in the far
East. So far as the sinking of the trans
port Kow Shung, flying the British flag,
is concerned, the envoy was informed
that Great Britain awaits the statement
of the English captain of that steamer
before making any reply to the apology
offered by Japan. The government will
hold Cabinet meeting within the next
two days to consider the attitude of
Great Britain to the Corean question.
Despite Gne eA pldHdtlOI anu dpOloSy
of the Japanese for the Kow Shung affair,
the greatest Indignation is still felt by
shipowners and other persons interested
in the Eastern trade. They insist that
the government must press Japan for
ample compensation and for assurances
of better faith in the future. The Ad-
miralty has ordered Vice-Admiral FIRE.

LONDON, August ga Press repre-

original copy of Mr.. Gladstone's letter
in reply to the recent invitation OF 100
representative Americans to the ex-
Premier to pay a visit to the United
States. The letter is dated Dolls Hill
July 30, and reads:
81 am alike impressed with the graft
fving nature OF the invitation you have
been good enough to address to me and
with the form, alike fiattering and con-
siderate, in which it has been conveyed.
While am sensible of the strong reasons
which would make visit to your great
country an object of interest and warm
desire, have for sometime felt that my
advancing years have placed an obstacle
in its way, such as | could hardly hope
to surmount. Undoubtedly your letter
has supplied the strongest motives for
an attempt to brave the impossible, but
| regret to say that it reaches me at a
time when, even if | were much younger,
it could not induce me to consider this
question. The surgical treatment of my
eve for a cataract, which began recently
with the usual operation, will not be
concluded for nearly two months, and
when that treatment shall have reached
its conclusion-in about that time
| hope | will be able to look with conf
dence to a date OF restoration of practi-
cal and useful vision. Under these cir
cumstances, however sanguine as to the
eventful issue may feel am incapaci-
| tated from the contraction of prospective
engagements, and l am sure that you
and the many distinguished gentlemen
who join you will feel that this is the
only reply | can make to your proposal.
l beg you to accept and convey to them
the assurance of my grateful thanks and
unalterable interest in your country"

THE STAND DISCUSSED.
Bishop Watterson's Position on the
Liquor Question Under Comment.

Bishop watterson's Position on the
Liquor Question Under Comment.
New YORK, August A morning
paper publishes the following specials
on Satolli and the liquor question:
CINCINNATI, August 3.-Archbishop
Elder said last night that he had re-
ceivel letters from Monsignore Satolli,
in which he was officially informed of
the stand taken by Bishop Watterson
of Columbus on the liquor question,
and the diotum of the apostolic delegate.
II don't see anything in this to cause
any agitation" said Arch bishop Elder.
Bishop Watterson has simply issued a
decree which has met with the approval
and support of Monsignore Satolli; it
simply relates to the decree of Column
bus. As to the probability of this action
extending | do not care to venture an
opinion" Archbishop Elders position
on the temperance question is pro-
nounced, and, in fact, he has let pass few
opportunities to urge abstinence. While
he would hardly indorse Monsignore
Satoli's stand, it is probable he would
treat the issue in a general way. There
is strong and growing temperance
sentiment here, and local church officials
think the st. Paul congress will not only
support the Columbus decree, but will
recommend it to other Bishops.
SANTA FE, N. NJ, August 3.-Arch-
bishop Chapelle, whose jurisdiction in
cludes New Mexico, Colorado and Ari-
IONA, says: Temperance being one Of
the cardinal principles of the Roman
Catholic Church, Bishop Watterson had
a perfect right to treat the question in
the manner he did, believing his course
to be for the best interests of the people
and the church. He being responsible,
and knowing all the circumstances and
needs, should he accorded support and
aid by the church, which Monsignore
Satolli very properly and justly gave
him. The position of the church on the
question is fully set forth in the pro-
ceedings OF the third plenary council in
Baltimore, Md, in 1884"
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August 3.-ArCh-
bishop p. J. Ryan's diocese leads all
others in the United States in the num-
Der of members of temperance societies.
There are 10000 members of the various
organizations. Archbishop Ryan held
that the decision of Monsignore Satolli
in the case OF Bishop Watterson was
merely local in its character; that it
affected the diocese of Columbus only
and had no bearing on the Philadel phia
diocese. Monsignore Satolli merely in
dorsed the action of Bishop Watterson.
Nothing will be done in this diocese con-
corning the matter.

order and also not employ counsel, Judge
Foster of the United States District Court

required to appear in Topeka, unless
they have violated the emergency order
restraining them from interfering with
railroad property. August 6, if the men
do not appear, temporary restraining
order will be issued to the same effect as

order will be made permanent. If the
men have violated no orders, they have

OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

of the Situation.


YOKOHAMA, August 1.-The following
official statement of the difficulties De-
tween China and Japan has been issued
by the Japanese government; Japan
and China were approaching a settle
ment of the difficulties when China SUD
denly suggested that Japan Withdraw
her fleet from Corea and give tormal
compliance with the Chinese demands
by July 20; otherwise the whole CHINESE
force were to land, and a sea advance
upon the part of China would be maze
The japanese regarded this as an uiui
matum, but, acting under the advice Oh
the friendly powers, agreed to the pro,
posals in the principle in an amendesgf
form, at the same time declaring that' Il
the threatened Chinese advance Wers
made on July 20, it would be regarded
as an overt act. 1t is conjectured ths
Japanese commanders were INSTRUCTED
to be on the watch for the Chinese war
ships and, seeing the latter advancing

The two Chinese cruisers supposed to
have been captured or DESTROYED during
the engagement which ended so fatally
for the Chen Yuen are supposed to he
the Chen Yuen and the Foo Ching. The
Chen Yuen was protected cruiser, built
at Emswick, England. She had a dis
placement of $500 tons. Her armament
consisted of three 8A-inch Krupp and
two six-inch Armstrong;, protected by
splinter proof shields, several eight.

gatlings and four torpedo tubes. The
Foo Ching was also an English-built
protected cruiser, very much similar to
the Chen Yuen. She had a dsplace-
ment of $500 tons, was built of steel in
1880, and carried ten guns of about the
same caliber as those carried by the
Chen Yuen.

ANOTHER BATTLE REPORTED.
SHANGHAI, August lit is reported
to-day that the Japanese forces attacked
the China position at Yashan Friday and
Saturday last. The Japanese, it is said,
were repulsed with heavy loss. The
Chinese loss was trivial.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1894-08-24

this stroke Japan doubtless has seriously
embarrassed China in her efforts to sup
ply herself with warlike equipment in
other countries. Just what the effect
will be on Chinese treaty ports cannot
be foretold now. Japan has taken the
ground that they are practically foreign
settlements, and therefore has disclalmed
any intention to interfere with them, re-
garding them as outside the scene of
hostile operations. 1t is believed, how
ever, China will now proceed to close
the more important treaty ports, begin
ming with Shanghai perhaps, by obstruct-
ing the entrances.

The Kow shung Incident Supposed to
Have Caused 1t.

WASHINGTON, August 3.-A cablegram
announcing the arrival OF the United
States steamer Monocacy at Nagasaki,
Japan, received by Secretary Herbert to-
day, is the only official news that has
come to the government from the repre-
sentatives OF China and Japan, and the
surmise of official dispatches being OBJ
structed purposely amounts to convic-
ton. The Monocacy was at Chemulpo,
Corea, with the Baltimore, and it is sup
posed she ran over to Nagasaki for coal
and supplies. 1t is thought here the &C
ton of Japan officially notifying the
British government of the existence OF
a state Of war between Japan and China
was precipitated by the Kow Shung in
cident. Had such notice preceded the
sinking of the ship, Japan would not
have incurred liability to Great Britain
and been obliged to apologize, In effect
that notice is equivalent to declaration
of war, or at least it imposes the same
Obligations upon neutral nations. By
