ENGLIsHMEN DELIGHTED.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-The rumors from
Washington that Great Britain is sup
porting or cooperating with the United
States in an attempt to mediate between
Japan and China is declared in official
circles here to be altogether incorrect.
The United States Government is under
stood TO have acted with complete inde-
pendenee of the Powers, and England
has noted the rebuff sustained by the
United States with positive delight.
The English newspapers attach great
importance to the mission of Delering,
the Commissioner of Imperial Customs at
lien Tsin, who left China for Japan in
order to arrange terms for peace. The
Globe this afternoon, commenting on
Delering's departure Tor Japan, says that
it confirms the reported rejection of the
mediation of the United States. The Globe
says that this was the course to be eX-
pected in spite of the Washington reports
that negotiations would be conducted by
the Minister at Toxic.
The Dditg NeUS, referring to the same
subject, says: The Peace Commissioner
was not sent a moment too soon, but he
can hardly hope to reach Japan before
the japanese forces close up on Port Ar
thur for the last decisive struggle.

A Private Letter From Chair
man John 'BreidenthaI-
OFFICEA1..s ABE BLEED
From Governor Down to the
Humblest JanitOr.
Four Thousand Dollars Already
Spent-More Wanted.

The Populist state campaign seems
to have broken loose from Chairman
Breidenthal as shown by the following
letter written by him last Monday,
July %, which was this morning
received by Secretary Bristow at the
headquarters Of the Republican state
central committee
This letter which @shows the Populist
hand" in a most remarkable way con-
cludes as follows:
In order to Keep up the campaign in
the lines mapped out by the committee,
we must have more funds The commit
tee has already expended over $4,000,
most of which has been contributed by
the state officers and employees. We
now issue an appeal 10 our friends and
desire to find one Thousand PopuIists who
will contribute $500 each. VIII you be
one Of this NUMBER If SO, send your re-
mitrance at once.
The people in the western part OF the
state are unable to contribute anything
TO the cam paign fund. and in order to
elect member TO the legislature from
that section, the campaign expenses
must be paid by the state committee.
We must secure control of the next leg
islature in order to redeem our pledges
to the people.
In order that this letter may not fall
into the hands Of the enemy, please write
your reply on the back Of this sheet and
return same to me.
JOHN ". BREIDENTHAI. Chairman.
State Central Committee.
This letter was sent by Chairman
2reidenthal to a man who voted the
Populist ticket two years ago, but who
had previous to that been a Democrat
and who IS in this campaign supporting
the Democratic ticket This Democrat
turned il over to a friend of his who Is
Republican who Immediately forwarded
it to Secretary Bristow.
The statement IN this letter that over
$4,000 has already been expended BY the
Populist committee shows that the COM
mittee expects TO use a very large sum of
money this campaign as it is understood
that the expenditures of their committee
in the campaign Of 1892 was only $4,3O0.
Secretary Semple. Of the Populist
committee, today denied the statement
made in an editorial of the Capital, that
Breidenthal-had used money from the
Topeka joints in the state campaign. Mr..
Semple said: I'VE have received money
from the Topeka police. but we have
record of all of it, and none of it came
from the joints. Almost all the police
men have contributed to our campaign
fund. Patrolmen who get $50 a month
have put up 50 for our committee, but
we have a complete record of all money
received and expended and none Of it
came from the joints, although of course
I don't know where the money comes
that they contribute, any more than they
know where the money comes from that

The War Is On
LONDON. July PA dispatch received
here at 11:20 d. m today from LlOyd's
agent at Shanghai, China, confirms the
announcement exclusively cabled to the
Associated Press on Saturday last that
war between China and Japan has been
declared.
Hugh Iathieson & Co, the Chinese
government agents in England, have re-
ceived a cable message which also con-
firms the announcement that war has
been declared between China and Japan.
Mr. MathiesOn, when questioned on
the subject today by a representative of
the Associated Press, said that he ex-
pected that the war,at the outset, would
be favorable to Japan, but eventually
China must and will crush Japan
out such a torrent of men and material
as China, (which country can carry OR
the war for many years, If necessary, and
always with fresh troops" said Mr. Math-
iesOn.
"China, of recent years, has purchased
large quantities of munitions of war and
is not so far behind in this respect as is
generally believed"
viii Open Up China
The manager of the Hong Kong and
Shanghai bank said: "One of the results
of the war will be to put the great trade
in the hands of England and Europe to
the disadvantage of China and Japan
But the end of the war will be the max
ing of China everywhere and the open
ing of China for all time to western civ
iization and trade.
China will realize through this war
her great and undevelOped strength"
The first overzct of war occurred on
Tuesday last The Japanese fired upon
the junk steamship Kow ShunG. Belong
ing TO Mathieson Of London, which had
been chartered by the Chinese govern
ment to convey troops to Corea.
Full details of this engagement are
not yet obtainable, the facts are care

Ordinary City Marshal
LAS VEGAS, n. H., July 27.-Two
Mexicans dead, several sothers wounded
and two Americans In custody of the
United States troops stationed at this
place is the result of what might have
been much bloodler riot, but for the
presence OF mind the city marshal
showed in calling cute the troops SO
promptly. The occurrence is the out
come of the lynching which took place
here about four months ago and which
the officers have since been trying to
clear up.
Some time ago.the sheriff obtained in
formation which intended to show that
one Of the lynching party was Jose Gal
Iegos, noted outlaw. and a warrant for
his arrest WAS placed in the hands Of
William Green Of Old Las Vegas.
Green was accompanied by a Mexican
and on Wednesday evening the two men
came upon Gallegos in a secluded spot
Gaiiegos took refuge behind large tree
and drew his weapon in defense, but on
account of the trigger catching he was
too late in getting the ''drop" on Green,
who fired upon him, WOunding him SO
badly that his death ensued yesterday
afternoon.
This incident aroused the Mexican
people of the old town for revenge and
last night several of them. armed with
warrant, entered Green's house on Bridge
street, and We're met by Eli Green, a
brother of the party they were seeking.
While he was parleying with the officers
his brother entered and was Immediately
fired upon by one of the belligerent par
ties
This was the signal for a regular fusiI-
lade, in which Eli and Billy Green pour
ed lead from their Winchestegs into the
crowd with deadly effect
When the crowd retreated, it was
found that Juan Sendoval was dead aud
several escaped with wounds of serious
nature.
The sheriff then made his appearance
and demanded that the Green boys sur
render, which they refused TO do, fear
ing Of foul play at the hands of the Mex
lean.
City Marshal Clay commanded the use
of the telephone 10 call on the United
States troops stationed 1t East Las Vegas
and the call was responded to on double
quick by Lieutenant Crawford and a de-
tachment OF the tenth infantry
" it'll fixed bayonets the quickly sur
rounded the besieged house and after a
spirited consultation with the Greens.
now heavily armed, the agreement was
arrived TO take the Green brothers to
military quarters until safety could be
assured.
They are. now being closely and
heavily guarded and the governor has
been telegraphed for.
While this disturbance was going on
the MexicAns secured the Mexican who
was with Green when the shooting of
Gallegos was done and dragged him to
jail in the old town. The commanding
officer demanded the possession Of
him also, but was refused by
the sheriff and his posse, at which Lieu
tenant Crawford told them he would hold
the sheriff personally responsible for the
safety and delivery OF the Mexican to
him in the morning. Excitement is at
fever heat, and it is not improbable that
lynching or other violent outbreaks
may occur
