China and Japan Are Not Ready to
Arbitrate.
Ii HUNG CHANG IS A N0NGPA

Washington. Nov. 10.
There seems to be a hitch in the pro-
posed United States mediation III the
Chinese-Japanese war. 1t Is unaer-
stood that no notification has yet been
received from Japan of the acceptance
of the United States officer of media
tion, though that proposition was
cabled to Minister Dun, to be present
ed to the government at Toxic on Nov.
&. China, to whom. through Minister
Denby, the same proposition was made
on the same day, is said to have given
q reluctant assent, as it Is understood;
hamperd by conditions which do not
seem to have been complied with.
Frequent interviews have been had
within the past few days between
Secretary Gresham and the Chinese and
Japanese ministers, but whatever may
have been accomplished by these con-
ferences, 1t is quite clear today that no
agreement has been arrived at which
contemplates a suspension of hostill-
ties on the part of Japan, and no such
agreement would seem to be inn
mediately in prospect. There Is an i'm
preston prevailing in diplomatic circles
that the offer Of mediation on the part
of the United States may fail Of Its OBJ
ject.

respondent of the Central News says
that the Emperor of China received the

They say that Great Britain's influence

offer, which wounds Japanese feeling.
The newspapers Of this city, assum
ing, apparently, that the reports Of tho
capture of Port Arthur by the japanese
were untrue, say that the defenceS o1
the place are reported to be stronger OF
the land side than on the sea front
The japanese expect that. If the Chi.

be bloody.

Brooklyn, Nov 15.-The safe Of John
Y. McKane the eX-boss of Grayesend,
who is now in Sing Sing prison, was
opened in the municipal building this

to the great surprise and CONSERVATION

The only thing they found were a
white slip of blank paper partly torn
through the center, and a small model
brass boot. The Brooklyn authorities
have been at work for three months
trying to get possession Of the safe and
the books and papers supposed to be
locked therein, and expected to show
conclusively whether McKane Is behind
in his accounts with the town. McKanG
signed an order a few days ago allow

tion of Labor Organizations and Adyo'
Gates the Abolition of Militia.

BY the United Press.
New Orleans, Nov. 15.-lmmediately
after the opening OF the afternoon ses-
sion Of the knights Of Labor, Grand
Master Workman Sovereign delivered
his annual address, which was an eX-
haustiye and elaborate review of the
work of the order from Its incipiency.
He attributed the decrease in the
membership of the order 10 the depres-
sion in business circles, prevalent bank
ruptcy, low wages and enforced idle
ness of the laboring class.
He reviewed his action of last Janu-
ary, when he secured the services Of
Judge Cole and filed bill in the district
court Of the District of Columbia, set
ting forth special grievances of his
order and protesting against the issu-
ance of bonds by the secretary of the
treasury He characterized the writ
Of injunction from the United States
Circuit court for the Eastern district OF
Wisconsin as "despotic injunction"
Referring to the American Railway
union affiliation, Mr.. Sovereign advised
consolidation with this as we'll as
with other labor organizations. His re-
view of the Pullman strike terminated
In u severe criticism of Major General
Scholield and the recommendation OF
that officer for an increase Of the army
together with the action of "Chicago's
millionaire aristocracy who We're per.
mitted TO present stand of colors tC
the Fifteenth infantry" which he sait
was an indication OF an uneasy desire
10 subjugate labor through the mill
tary powers of the nation"
He urged that the assembly tax,
strong grounds against an increase o.
the military forces OF the nation ant
they advocate decrease in the regu
lar army and the abolition Of the stat,
militia, for from them are coming /,
the surface the sentiments of mill
| tary despotism."
