Gresham Has Not ApoIogized.

WASHINGTON, July 2L-It can be stat
ed authoritatively that there is no founda-
ton for the published report that Secre-
tary Gresham had apologized to Nj. Tateno
the Japanese minister, for utterances con-
tanned in a telegram sent by the Secretary
OF State to the japanese government
through Minister Dunn. at Toxic. That dis
patch, as has been stated heretofore. was
sent after having been submitted TO Min
lister Tateno and contained nothing that
was offensive to the Japanese minister or
that would be considered as woundng 10
Japanese national sensibilities. There has
been no occasion. therefore. for apologies,
md none has been rendered. The japanese
minister and Secretary Gresham had an in
terview yesterday at which Eastern affairs
were freely discussed, but the message
sent to Minister Dunn was not adverted to,
and in the interview. which entirely
friendly and amicable, was devoted to re-
newed expressions by Secretary Gresham
of a hope that China, Japan and Corea
would not be embroied in a war, and 10
statements by NJ. Tateno in affirmation
OF justice and reasonableness of Japan's
course. and his hope that Corea would ac-
knowledge this, and institute reforms nec-
essary for Japan's large interest in Corea.
When Secretary Gresham's attention was
directed to the published report he at once
entered most sweeping and vigorous denial
of its accuracy, declaring that he had made
no apology, nor was any called for.

The Firing Confirmed.

WASHINGTON, July Authorization re-
ceived at the japanese legation here to-
day from Toxic is TO the effect that the
trouble referred to in the Shanghai dis
patch to the Associated Press occurred
at Seoul, the capital of Corea. and not at
Nagasaka, as reported. The mistake in 10
eating the scene of the difficulty is due
probably to the interruption of overland
communication between Seoul and Shang-
hal. in which case all news reaching the
latter place from Seoul would have TO be
sent via Nagasaka. The cablegram giving
the minister the news of the difficulty
which occurred yesterday came TO hand to-
day, and is as follows:
"Corean troops made an uncalled-for at
tack on the japanese troops stationed in
Seoul, and the troops returned the vol
leys."
The dispatch gave no particulars regard
ing the cause of the trouble and nothing
as to the number of persons who may have
been killed The minister's opinion, how
ever is that it is the result of some indis-
Greet action on the part of the Corean SOL
diers, which are described at the legation
as being undisciplined and hard to restrict
in what they do The minister feels sure
the firing was unauthorized by the govern
ment of Corea, and he says 1t is very like
regret at the occurrence. There have been
no dispatches received at the legation
showing that the japanese have taken ac-
ton with reference to the bomoardment
of Corean ports. Japan. ii is said, has too
many interests at stake in Corea TO at
the minister says, certainly has no inten-
ton of going to war with Corea.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Hostilities be-
tween China and Japan will require an
immediate reinforcement of the United
States naval force the China station
At present this consists of only two yes
sells, the cruiser Baltimore and the Mon
ocacy. They are at Chemulpo. Corea, and
il would be impossible for them 10 properly
cover the enormous extent of seacoast that
must be watched. Owing to the demands
of the seal patrol service there is only one
vessel at present available for the China
station, in addition to the two vessels
now there. This is the Charestown, now
at Mare Island which il was expected
would be sent TO Hawaii to take the place
to be vacated by the Philadelphia, which
must return to the United States for much
needed docking. However, on Aug l the
close season in the seal waters expires, and
as il will be necessary after that date to
protect only the small sixty-mile zone
around the Pribyloff islands, it is probable
that some of the vessels of the patrol fleet
can be spared and ordered to proceed di-
rectly to China. In this case the choice
probably would fall on the Yorktown, lie
Concord. and the Petrol, leaving the Mo-
hican, the Adams the Alert and the Ran
ger to guard the seal islands.

The sulphates of the Sea Are Very De-
 struCtlye.

 The Suiphates of the Sea Arc Very De-
 struotiye.
 In the opinion of Dr. Michaclis, of Berlin, the greatest enemies to the per maueucy of the Portland cement used in marine structures are the sulphates contained in seq water tf there is any great quantity of alunina bnd ferric oSile in tue cement the structure breaks up sooner than otherwise. This is accounted for by tue tact that the sulphate forms, with the illuminate and farrate of lime. a number of crystalline compounds, such as bassic s,dphate of lime alumino-sulphate and fcrro-sul- phate of lime. These compounds take up a large quantity of water of crystal lization, So that the total volume k much increased Hence the weakness and disiutegration Of the cement struc- tUre. Dr. MiChaeiis considers that tine separation ot hydIute of maguesia is quite innocuOus, for it is only displaced from its solution in the form Of foe culent, slimy hyClate, which if any thing, is useful iR stouping up the pores His general rrcomncndat;on to users of concrete for marine work is to choose a cemsHt rich in silica and as poor as possible in alumina and ferric OYida, and to envelop the structure with an impenetrable mixture com posed of one part of cement with two to two and oue-hah parts of sand of mixed grain, of which at least one-third should be very fine sand, and to this the requisite amount of ballast should be added

Tho Unincisy Opal DoHca the Initiative
 Sixiu of the Moderns.
 One kind of opal, the hydropane of Mexico, loses it's beauty and becomes dull and colorless when exposed to water The same stone, says the West minister Review, it is said, can be re stored to its color and beauty by sub jecting it to a certain degree of heat A writer on the subject says that the opal is always much more brill mt on a wsrm day, and that sharp dealer will alwavs hold one in his hand short time before showing it to pur chaser, In ancient times the opal was most successfully initiated by d glass paste, which could only be distin- guiahsd from the real gom by the most careful experts. The art has been en- tirely lost, for the best counterfeiters fail to produce . stone that in the leas. oatlies the eonnoisseur The finest opal of modern times, says King, was one which belonged to Empress Josephine, and which was called the "l'u.ning of Troy" because of the in numorable red flames blazing upon it's surface, while the revcrse was perfect ly opaque In the troublous times that followed the Napoleonie period the gem was lost sight of, and there is left no trace of it, Thero are two wonderful opals among the French crown jewels, one of which is set in Che clasp of the imperial cloak Elm press Eugcuie is said to have most auperstitiouS dread ot them and would not wear an opal fer any persuasion. Queen Victoria does not share this feel. ing with her. She, on the contrary, gdmires the gem very much, and has given to each of her daughters, on their marriage day, various pieces of jewelry set with the iridescent gem. There are many varieties of opals, coming from almost as many quarters of the glo''c. The opal found in Hun gary was thought to be harder and more durable than those found in Mex leo and South America, bat since the better development of the mines in those places stones have been found quite the eqdal of Hungarian gems.

The Graham County Bulletin in it's issue of November 10th, says: 'The editor of the Globe SuvRR BE1r has taken a fresh grip on the club which he has so vigorously welded against statehood for the last two years, aud might have truthfully added, will never relax his grip while the finances of the Territory and counties are in a chaotic state. He regards statehood, at the present iuneture, as the forerunner of bankruptcy, if the commonwealth is not now already hopelessly SO. Ire wolf is already at the door of Gila county. She has e suspended debt, and assessed value of everything m sight at four per cent; and while this is true, chill penury weighs upon the heart of the Territory and every sub division of it. The Phoenix Gazette and Yuma Sentinel eyince an unrest over the long delay in the payment of Territorial warrants Other Territo- Sial papers, as well as holders of war rants, are anxious to know why this long delay in the matter of payment. Be patient gentlemen. The good time is coming but We regret We are unablo to fix the date Advocates tell us the present striugency will disappear as mist before the sun, upon the admis sion of Arizona as sister state. But, nevertheless, we fear the promise is simply a thought, dream, in fancy's maze run mad.
 The fact is that our public institt ; ti01s and supernumerary officials have brought Arizona to the verge of bank fuptey and every year the Territory is running farther into debt. It was the disgust ocoasioned by an intimate knowledge of these facts and the hope. lessness of the situation that cansed Col Flemming, late Territorial Treas urer, to resign the office.

French Farms Left Largely in the Hands
 Of Children and old Men.
 The complaint of oyercrowded cities and decaying rural population is heard ip France, and one very probable ex- piaTation of the diminishing numbers and yirility of the French peasantry is given by Jules simon. He thinks, says thc New York Post, the compulsory military service has q good deal to do with it. Peasants have to leave their farms for three years, and go unwill- ingly enough. it mny be. But they find themselves better clothed and fed than they were in their lives, and though compelled to submit to strict discipline and hard work, enjoy a life far less fatiguing and dull than that they have been accustomed to. When their time is up, it is not strange that thousands of them refuse to go back to the blow They drift into the towns to find work in factories, with absolute liberty after working hours, and to ob- tain tIiat contact with their kind for futile gossip and that sense of playing part in the affairs of the great world which make dp so-large part of the attraction of cities for the poor. The result is, says M. simon, that agricul- ture ih.
