THE ARMIES AND NAyIEs.
Respective Showing of Both China
and Japan.


Washington, July 21-Mr. Tateno, the
japanese minister, said today that he did
not credit the Shanghai report of a decla-
ration of war between China and Japan.
None of his advices has indicated the
probability of a conflict, and the latest
cablegrams received from his government
date back a week. Had the report of
declaration of war emanated from Yo-
kohama or Picking, at or near the seat
of the respective governments, it might
have some foundation, but the fact that
the reports come from Shanghai, a long
distance from either of the above named
places, and where there are many for
eigners and spectators, he said, was al
most convincing to him that the rumor
was incorrect.
The war rumor found no official con-
firmation at the state department, which
naturally would be quickly advised OF an
event of this Importance by Minister
Dunn, at Toxic. Still the belief is gem
eral in government circles that the situa-
ton is very critical, and 1t would not
surprise them if it appeared that the re-
port is only premature. Consequently,
there is already some speculation as 10
the outcome of a conflict between these
two populous nations. Probably the war
would begin at sea, and 1T is thought IN
naval circles that at the start the Jap
anese would have the advantage, owing
TO the fact that their vessels are in con-
dition for immediate service But as II
stands the two nations are nearly even
in their naval strength.
The Chinese navy consists of thirty
vessels but many of these are small and
obsolete in type. There are five very
effective armored ships, built within the
last twelve years, four beng pattle sh lp;
Chen-Yuen, king-Yuen, Lai-Yuen and
Tong-Yuen and one Ping-Huen, COAST
defense ship. There is also an armoreo
wooden gun boat, Tien1Sing. These YES
sells are armed with Krupp guns. the
Chen-Yuen, of 4, $50 tons, carrying l2-lnch
rifles There are nineteen cruisers carry
ing Armstrong and krupp guns, TWO tor
pedo cruisers and several small gun ships.
The Japanese navy consists OF thirty
two vessels of all kinds, 1nciudlnS I'VE
armored ships, the Flu 500, HI zee, hon
Go, Rio 10 and TSchiyoda. Ihese range
in tonnage from 1,500 to 3,7O0, and are
armed with Krupp guns lighter than the
Chinese battle ships carry. There are
fourteen cruisers of good size and Wen
armed with Krupp and Canet guns, seven
gun-vessels of small tonnage, three coast
defense ships with Pinch French rlnes
land a half dozen corvettes and Jew
\ training ships. But his balance OF re

on NO coon as FUEL.

Chicago, July 21.-The tug Blackball,
which was fitted out some time ago
with an apparatus for the use of crude
petroleum as fuel, has been laid up by
the Vessel Owners Towing company
The city was given the use of the
BlackbaIl and the smoke inspector de-
voted much time in the perfection of
the devices for the economical use of
oil. At the end of his experiments,
which were partially successful, the
BIackbali was returned to the tug COM
pany. 1t is said that the great objec-
ton in the practical use of petroleum
proved the difficulty in regulating the
burning. When the forced draught
was used. the oil smoked as much as
soft coal, and it is said the oil was as
hard to control in burning as hard coal.
In view of these circumstances the
company decided to discontinue it's USE

STILL THE TARIFF.
No Truth in the Report That Villas
VIII Withdraw His Motion on the
Sugar Schedule.

No Truth in the Report That Was
Will Withdraw His Motion on the
Sugar Schedule.
Washington, July 21.-When the Sen
ate on Friday adjourned over until
Monday, it was understood this was
done with the hope of making peace in
the Democratic party by patching up
the differences on the tariff bill.
Among other plans which some of the
Democratic senators had in view then
was one of Senator Villas to withdraw
his motion to have the Senate recede
from so much of it's sugar amendment
to provide duty of 1-Sc a pound on re-
fined sugar.
Accordingly Mr.. Villas was appealed to
by a large number of Democratic sena-
tors to relieve the Senate of the embar-
rassment which the offering of the mo-
ton had caused, by not insisting upon
| the amendment.
This he has declined to do. He said
late today that he had no intention of
Withdrawing it.
81 shall let the motion be decided up
on its merits" he said cor call the
chair to rule upon it; but I shall not
withdraw it. I did not offer the motion
with view of throwing a bomb, and if
it had that effect, it was not the result
Of my purpose. 1 thought 1 saw an OPP
poFlunlly 10 compromise the QlHeFenceS
existing
There has been a persistent rumor
about the capital today that the con-
sentative Democratic senators have
been in conference and that they adopt
ed plan under which steps were to be
taken to defeat the tariff bill if on Mon
day the Senate does not definitely in
struct the tariff conference to stand by
the Senate bill.
! Senator Brice, who is regarded as the
leader of this element, pronounced the
story as without foundation He said it
was true, however, that the conserva-
tives had been a great deal together,
and that they understood one another
perfectly. He said, Furthermore, that
so far as he was concerned he had de-
cided to support Mr.. Villas in his effort
/ to have the sugar differential stricken
out of the bill, and added that the sug-
ar schedule, being an administration
measure, he saw no reason why the ad-
ministration should not have its own
way about it now. He added that if re-
sistance upon this course should result
in the defeat of the bill, as he thought
lit might, the conservative Democrats
would not be responsible for that result.
| 1t does not now appear that there is
any prospect of an early Democratic
caucus in the Senate.
| Senator German says there will be no
/ Democratic caucus between this and the
calling Of the Senate on Monday.

Kingstown, Dublin Bay, July a.-The
Vigilant won.
The Vigilant won today under cond!-
tons heretofore considered unfavGTabie
to her. She finished a fifty miles cruise
I3 minutes and SO seconds ahead OF the
Britannia, not reckoning the time allow
ance. which will reduce it about min
ute and 10 seconds.
The prize competed for was $500 cter-
ed by the Royal St. George Yacht club,
and the course was the same as that
sailed yesterday.
A light breeze was blowing at the
start. 1t did not increase to any appTe-
Iciable extent during the continuance Of
the race, but died away at times so that
the yachts could make no Roadway. The
Vigilant crossed the starting line 81 sec
Ionds ahead. At the conclusion of the
first round of the course, which is near
Iy quadrangular, she was minutes p
seconds in the lead, but in the second
round, the Britannia had reduced the
advantage to 1 minute 81 seconds.
This was as close as the yachts were
at any time during the last round,
which was finished by the winning boat

Honolulu, July 14.-The provisional
government is no more and the Repub-
lie of Hawaii holds the reigns of power.
1t is but change of name as the same
people are in power, and the avowed
purpose of the government is the same
to obtain annexation with the United
States.
The new constitution, which was
finished on the third, was promulgated
on the Fourth of July, from the front
steps of the palace. A large crowd was
present, and when President Dole APP
peared, he was greeted by a mighty
cheer. Surrounded by his cabinet. Of
f1cers of the military and the members
of the late constitutional convention, he
read the proclamation of the new re-
public as follows:
81, Sanford B. Dole, president of the
provisional government of the Hawai-
ian islands, by virtue Of the charge
given me by the executive and advisory
councils of the provisional government
and by act dated July 8, 1894, proclaim
the republic of Hawaii as the sovereign
authority over and throughout the
Hawaiian islands from this time forth.
And [ declare the constitution framed
vention of 1894 to be the constitution
and supreme law of the republic of
Hawaii; and by virtue of this constitu-
ton, l now assume the office and the
authority of the president thereof.
Long live the republic"
J. w Kalua, one of the leading an
neXationists, next read the proclama-
ton in Hawaiian. Both were greeted
with cheers and the ceremony was
over.
A few evenings before the Fourth the
Royalists had mass meeting at which
about two thousand were present and
passed resolutions protesting against
the forma ton OF the republic, claiming
that President Cleveland has not yet
answered the petition sent by Lii
uokalani asking to be restored to the
throne. Copies of this resolution were
sent to the representatives of the
foreign government with the request
| that they should not recognize the re-
public. It had no effect in that way,
| however, as all these representatives
have recognized it with the exception
of Minister Woodehouse, the English
minister-resident, who simply stated
| that he would inform his governIn emf
of the change.
On the eve of the Fourth the annex.
ationists held a big mass meeting fol
the purpose of ratifying the new con
stitution. It was most enthusiastic
meeting.
The republic having been launched
Minister Thurston will probably re
turn to Washington soon. He was no
present on the Fourth having gone tt
Volcano.
One of the royalist papers, the Holo
mua, which has been rabid supporter
of the ex-oueen, has changed its policy
and is advising all rOyalistS to take the
oath of allegiance to the republic, ant
acknowledges that the cause of the
ex-queen is dead.
A royalist commission consisting o
Samuel Parker, H. A. Widemann an(
John A. Cummins, leave for Washing
ton on the Rio Janeiro this afternoon.
It is their intention to go to Wash
ington at once and try to obtain az
interview with the president, with thu
idea of forcing him to give them al
answer as to what he intends to do IL
the Hawaiian matter. Their expenses
