JAPAN REFUSES PEACE.

Latest advices from London state
that efforts made by Great Britain
to bring about peace between Chi
ma and Japan were futile. Dispatch
says:
The Central News claims to have
the highest authority for the state
ment that overtures looking to
declaration of peace between China
and Japan were made yesterday,
but that Japan rejected She pro
posals made, considering them in
adequate. According to the Cen
trail News, however, there is every
reason to believe that the proposals
we're eminently satisfactory to Chi
ma, and that her representatives
signified the willingness of their
government to acquiesce in them.
The London Times publishes the
following from its Tien Tsin CORE
spondent.
"In an imperial edict issued from
Pekin, the government assumes full
responsibility for the protection of
foreigners and denounces rowdyism
1t orders the punishment of several
culprits who assaulted travellers,
and assures strangers that their per-
sons and property will be protected
1t especially favors the missionar
les. Japan having rejected China's
peace overtures without hearing,
the war will now enter upon a
chronic stage, demanding an ap.
peal to the latent forces of China
The government is prepared, al
though reluctant, to engage in a
protracted conflict. The party in
power recognizes, however, the ur-
gency of radical military and fiscal
reforms. The important question

TRAIN ROBBERS CAUGHT.
-Four of the Quantico Bandits Gagged
and Part of the Money
Recovered.

WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE
arrest in West Virginia and West
ern Maryland of what is confidently
believed to be a part of the Quanti-
CO tram robbing gang has been full
ly confirmed and it is predicted that
the arrest of the other members of
the gang will follow soon. There
were seven of the robbers and three
of them under arrest. Money has
been found on only one of them.
The reports would Indicate that af-
ter the robbery the men beat across
the country to the westward and
first sought railroad transportation
in the Shenandoah Valley.
Conductor Green, of the Balti-
more and Ohio Road arrived in
Washington at 1850 today from
Cumberland, Nd, He did not learn
any additional facts concerning the
arrest at Cumberland last night,
beyond those heretofore given or of
the arrest at Cherry Run yesterday.
He, however, confirmed that news
and reported that the authorities
were on the track of four men in
addition to the three arrested. OF
these four, two, he said, had been
placed under arrest at Martinsburg
this morning. They had boarded
freight train and had unmerciful-
ly beaten the conductor. One of
them had very large nickel-plated
revolver. Mr.. Green was not long
enough in Martinsburg to learn
any particulars of the arrest. At
Shenandoah Junction between Mar
tinsburg and Harpers' Ferry, the
railroad men informed Conductor
Green that two men had purchased
tickets there this morning, The
agent thought they were suspicious
characters from their appearance
and behavior. They had plenty of
money which they exhibited when
they bought tickets Some of the
money was described by the agent
as gold. Two men answered the
description given of these men were
seen near Aqua Greek, the day of
the robbery. One of the men, he
said, purchased ticket for Louis
vile, KY and the other for some
point in the West, which Mr.. Green
did not remember. The agent de-
scribed one as a tall and the other
as a short man. 1t will be remem-
bered that Green reported the
Shenandoah Junction incident to
the Adams Express.
Manager Herring said this after
noon, after a consultation with his

was Intentionally away from his
office. In his stead was a former
comrade Of the still puzzled clerk,
with the announcement
Mr.. Armour says that you are
to go to the town mentioned in the
conversation of the day before, and
he has left me your ticket and told
me not to give it to you until the
train starts. 1t goes at 6:15 o'clock
so you'll have to hustle to pack your
buds. "
AT 6:15 o'clock, in the smoking
car Of the train the clerk and his
comrade parted, but not before the
latter had surrendered ticket
and a letter to be read after Chica-
cago's limits had been passed. The
traveller was downhearted at the
outset, blue at the city limits, and
in tears long before the first stop
ping place had been reached, He
had opened the letter and found
therein a ticket for a berth in the
sleeping car $500 in money, aletter

Armour's close friends and these

officer Beck of this city noticed q
man acting in rather suspicious
manner near the Baltimore an6
Ohio Depot. He tried to board ex.
press train No. 8, west bound, with
two satchels. The man answered
the description of the one who was
implicated in the robbery of the
express car at Quantico, Va, last
week. AS soon as the officer at.
tempted to make the arrest the
man started to run but was soon
caught by the officer. He claimed
to have been stopping at one OF
the hotels in this city and upon be-
ing taken to each of the hotels,
claimed it was another one. At the
station the prisoner inquired upon
what charge he had been arrested
and when informed sneered at the
idea of his being a train robber. He
was closely questioned by Chief
Pitzer and said he had no money
and wanted to be searched. His
request was quickly complied with
and when 81, 553. so was pulled out

FIVE HUNDRED MORE.

The arrival of $50 japanese by
the Alkoku Maru, who do not come
under contract, has created a mild
sensation in Honolulu. There does
not seem to be any particular occa-
sion for the excitement. The laws
will be enforced, and there will be
no landing Of these japanese IN
less the laws allow it. Probably
most of these men will be glad to
sign contracts and go to work upon
the plantations. All of them, we
understand, have some money, but
of course only very few have as
much as fifty dollars.
The statement that they are all
provided with drafts on Itohan &
Co. which will be duly honored by
that firm, and that thus armed
they will land in spite of the law
is without foundation and absurd
on the face of it. 1t seems to be
merely one Of those pictures which
an occasion like the present is so
fertile in producing.
The immigrants by the Aikoku
Maru come under the auspices of
one Of the two large immigration
companies Of Japan. The COM
pany is responsible one, and if
the men cannot be landed it re-
turns the men to Japan at its own
expense.

In view of a possibility that the
Solomon group will be included in
the Pacific cable route, Fl NJ. sur
veying ship Penguin, which re-
turned to port says the Samoan
Herald of June 9th, will shortly
commence some important work
between Queensland and these isl
auds. The ship is at present
under orders to make a survey of
Jervis bay, and as soon as this
work has been completed, prob
ably in a month hence, she will
proceed northWard and take a line
of soundings from a point north of
Brisbane to the Solomon islands in
connection with the proposed Pa
ci6c cable. The ship will suisse
quently make a stay of several
months in the islands, the officers
meanwhile completing the survey
of the group. The Solomon isl
ands, it will be remembered, were
only recently placed under the
British flag.

ACCESSORY TO CRIME.

The Bulletin complains bitterly
of the "breaches of the principles
of popular government" which 1t
contends have been embodied in
the Constitution, and which it al
leges are due TO the fact that there
has been "no chance to ventilate
the novel provisions of the draft in
free public discussion"
What has there been to prevent
the Bulletin itself from ventilating
these alleged breaches of principle?
The draft Of the Constitution was
spread broadcast over the islands
nearly a month ago. The Bulletin
had three days leisure in which to
contemplate its enormities before
the Convention began the work Of
legislation. Why did it not under
take the work o. exposing this Con-
stitution? Why did it not make
its voice heard, if not to the ends
of the world, at least as far as Its
circulation reaches? Instead of do
ing so, it actually behaved as
though nothing were going on.
Day after day it came out without
any editorial matter at all, as if it
were unconscious that a great crime
was being committed under its
very nose.
Is it not clear that this culpable
negligence on the part of the Bulie-
tin makes it practically accessory
to the crimes ofthe Convention? As
particeps criminis, it is estOpped in
good morals, if not in law, from
raising this eleventh-hour cry of
woe.
