WASHINGTON, NOV. I6.-Ihe State De-
partment has received information that
special meeting of the Japanese Ministry

the final answer to the offer of the United

by the fact that the Cabinet meets at To-

the reply is TO be is not definitely known
yet. Strong intimations have reached of
1icials here that the Cabinet will ask
China either to make her offer direct to
Japan or else free it from all doubts, spe-
cifying the exact amount of indemnity
she will pay.
The fact was developed to-day that the
TsaLg Ii 1amen of China, the Council of
the Cabinet of the Empire, made direct
request to the United States that this
Government offer Its services as medi-
ator. Heretofore it has been understood
the request from China was that this
Government join the other powers in in

sponded i'll the negative and offered to act
alone. 1t was also developed to-day that
the substantial feature of the proposition
made by the United States to Japan is as
follows: Ii the United States were in a
position TO exercise its good offices in
bringing about the understanding be-
tween China and Japan. would japan
feel that it would be prejuGicial to her in

Commerce Paralyzed, the Result of

LITTLE Rock (Ark.), Nov. 16.-In the
opinion of Major c. b. Moore, a promi-
nent attorney of this city, who has just
returned from trip in Indian Territory,
where Bandit Bill Cook and his followers
hold sway, the situation in the Territory
is indescribable- There is practically no
such thing as an enforcement of the law,
and the bandits are virtually unmoIested
in their appalling depredations.
Major Moore spent several days at
Muscogee and Fort Gibson, and he says
the men ana prOperJy-owners there are
panic-stricken at the complete CONNER
cial paralysis resulting from the reign of
lawlessness. Not half of the crimes COM
mitted find space in the newspapers. In
fact, the half has not been told of the
terrible condition of affairs. Organized
gangs go from place to place plundering
right and left, and adding murder to their
calendar OF crimes when resistance is
offered. Marshal Crump and his men
are sparing no effort TO protect property
and life, but they seem to be powerless to
Moore says the situation is growing
worse all the time. Crime is congenial to
a heavy percentage of the Territory's
population, hence there is, of course,
strong opposition from certain contin-
gent to a change in the present run of
