JAPS HAVE LANDED.
OVER So 600 TROOPS NOW IN CHM
ESE TERRITORY.

Their Main Body Only Seventy Miles From
Pekin, the Capital City, and Continually
Pushing Forward-Possibility That the
Chinese Emperor May he Dethroned-A
War of Conquest.
TEN TsIN, Oct. At is officially
announced that 5000 japanese troops
have arrived close to Passiet bay, near
the frontier.
Previous to this announcement it was
reported here that japanese fleet had
been sighted on Sept. %, 10 miles from
Shang Hal Kwan, 200 miles from Pei
lin. Large bodies of Chinese troops
have been drafted to that district dur
ing the last few days, in order to pre-
vent the Japanese from landing.
Passiet bay is not far from Vladive-
stock, the great Russian stronghold and
railroad terminus in the East. The
latter opens upon the Gulf Of Peter the
Great, and the waters of Passiet bay
adjoin it. 1t is difficult to conjecture
the object of this move on the part Of
Japan, unless it is to
Protect the Right Flank
and rear of the Japanese army from the
possible attack from the direction of the
Russian frontier. Then again, the
5000 men referred to might simply be
reinforcements for the japanese army
now marching upan Moukden.
As already cabled. a Times dispatch
from Shanghai says that it is reported
there that $4,000 Japanese troops have
been landed on the Shan Tung coast,
between the Yellow river and Tien
Tsin. If this is true, the japanese are
within striking distance of Tien Tsin
and may be preparing to push on to Pc
kin, leaving the formidable Taku forts
on their right. Tien Tsin is the port of
Pekin, and is fully 20 miles distant
from the capital of China.

The Alleged Tunnel Fraud at Port
Huron.

The Detroit Evening News publishes
the following:
Several weeks ago Special Agent +.
o. Wood, of the treasury department,
went to Port Huron with Inspector
Downs and investigated sensational
charges made against the Tunnel COM
pany. 1t was claimed by several wit
ne.ses that the bulk of the material
used after the shields met was smuggl-
ed through the tunnel from Canada.
The supposition was that the govern
ment had been defrauded out of many
thousands of dollars worth of ma
terial, all the duties that were paid
being for the stone and cement used
in the approach on this side and for
the steel rails.
On returning to Detroit Mr.. Wood
and Collector Crocker, of Port Huron,
had an interview with +. W. Med
daugh, attorney for the tunnel COM
pany. Mr.. Meddaugh explained that
nothing had been done without the
knowledge of the treasury depart
ment. The correspondence on file In
Washington would show that Secre-
tary Fairchild had ruled that material
used in the tunnel would be free of
duty.
After securing all the evidence he
could on both sides, Mr.. Wood sent
it to Washington. A letter has nov
been received from the department
absolving the tunnel company from
all the charges made against 1t. The
secretary of the treasury says that IN

work above or below the water, 50 fal

Burton at Oakley.

mona in a buggy, and Tor TWO nours
and fifteen minutes he expOunded PeO-
ple's party principles to more than 500
people of all political parties. 1t was
the largest gathering Of people ever
held in Oakly. Mr.. Hendee was on
hand and got quite number of sub
scribers for the ADVOCATE. o. L.
Smith was here also and made one of
his characteristic speeches, and people
for the time forgot the failure of crops
and drouth, as everyone seemed to be
happy.
But the day came to an end as good
things will, and the next day the 6. o.
p.'s had Ralph Burton here, and there
were about $50 people out to hear him,
of which about one-half were POpu-
lists. This shows the g. o. p.'s will not
come out to hear anyone, not even
their own speakers, but after Mr.. Bur
ton had got through Villifying Gov
ernor Lewelling and the Populist partyA
among other things he said: "There
is not enough gold and silver to do the
business of the country. and therepub-
lican party made paper money and they
made laws making every dollar of it as
good as a gold dollar or silver dollar"
And no one asked why the soldier at
the close of the war had to give $3.50
Of that paper money for gold dollar
when it was as good as gold dollar
itself. Yet both are true. When it
was in circulation among the people
it took $3.50 to buy gold dollar. Yet
the soldier had to accept his $l3 or $16
per month in paper, after he had been
promised gold by that same party.
The government bought all her sup.
plies and paid for them with this sort
of paper money, and the common peo-
pie had to accept that or nothing; but
the man who had money enough to
buy government bonds could take his
gold dollar and buy $3.50 of the paper,
and then invest it in bond calling for
$3.50 of coin. So, you see, Mr.. Burton
told you the truth when he said they
made laws making 1T as good as a
gold dollar or a silver dollar; and then
by the demonstration of silver they
have made them even better than the
liver dollar, but not until they were
in the hands of the bondholder or
money gambler.
And there was no law making any
except the first 60 million dollars as
good as coin, until all but about
BAG million dollars had been con-
Verted into coin bonds and destroyed,
and we are paying interest on the
bonds now, instead of having that
money, which was as good as gold, to
pay our debts with; and thefact that
346 million dollars was by the law
of 1876 made as good as coin (even for
the poor peOple) is proof positive that
it all could, for the same backing was
behind it that is back Of the bonds is
sued in its stead.
Mr.. Burton also said, in answer to
the question of the Thomas county
representative, on the contraction of
the currency, when cited to ex-senator
?lumb's statement on contraction,
''there was no truth in it, no more than
in yours" (the Thomas county NAM,
but nevertheless would like for you
to publish what Mr.. Plumb said on
contraction, and also that part Of Mr..
Plumb's letter to you written in April
or May, 1890, when you asked him in
regard to the prospects of having any
