Report That the President Has Been
Called on by England.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 29.-It is believed
here that President Cleveland has been
asked by the British government, at the
request of the Chinese government, TO act
as mediator in the disputed questions that
have caused the outbreak between China
and Japan. 1t is also believed that the
President, in a cipher cablegram from
Secretary Gresham, last right, to the Brit
ish Secretary OF Foreign Affairs. consented
TO act as mediator providing both China
and Japan wished it. England has been
active in furthering an amicable settlement
OF the trouble, having been appealed TO by
China. The latter government is suing for
peace already, and proposals for a settle
ment were submitted TO the japanese Sec
retary for Foreign Affairs al Toxic. Japan,
yesterday. by the British and Italian for
eign ministers 1t is believed that these
proposals are in the nature of an armistice
so that the matter in dispute can be sub
mitted 10 some foreign mediator, presum-
ably England, for action. England. how
ever, is said to desire not 10 figure so prom
nently for the reason that Russia might
protest and. perhaps, with reason Accord
ingly, the President OF the United States
is looked on as the most logical noninter-
ested person who would be satisfactory 10
all parties.
\ London cablegram says: 1.-The special
C.-binet council summoned Friday night
for the consideration of the Eastern ques-
ton met this morning. The cables were
burdened all night with long government
messages. The Chinese minister received
a dispatch from Tien-Tsin at o'clock yes
terday morning which caused him 10 sum-
mon Sir Halliday Mccartney To the lega-
tion an hour later. Both gentlemen were

the


WASHINGTON, July 29.-The decision
which the Senators are awaiting from the
Saturday joint House conference will be a
staggering blow TO the Senator's who have
been holding out for sugar, iron and coal
interests. 1t will be a fat refusal on the
part of the House conferees to yield to the
Senate demand. in whole or in part The
determination to give this negative re-
sponse has been agreed on definitely by the
House conferees, and. it is said. it cannot
be changed, Il had been expected that the
intense feeling of the last week would clear
the atmosphere and lead 70 some common
ground of agreement, but when the House
conferecs were met by a demand to yield
in toto on sugar, coal and iron they as

Brice Says the Dill Will Pass.

NEW YORK, July Ex-senator Calvin
s Brice was at Manhattan Beach to-day.
He said he thought the tariff bill would
pass in the form as amended and adopted
by the Senate. He said that three or four
of the Senators-he would not mention any
names--were in a very peculiar position.
They had early pledged themselves, pure
ly in the interests of party unity, to sup
9ort the bill, and this Notwithstanding the
fact that they objected TO the income
tax and. therefore, 10 the bill, and would
much prefer TO have stood out against
these Senators had stood firmly and man
fully bY their pledge through all the par
liamentary eXigencies of the Senate fight
ard had thus preserved intact the body of
fo1ity-three Senators for the bill.
These Senators now," he went on, will
watch closely any attempt to change that
bill from its form as they supported it,
and will eagerly accept any opportunity,
which a change in the provisions of the
bill would give them to bolt and go over
with Hill in complete opposition to the
BILL
Senator Brice was asked what he thought
of Mr.. Hills speech in support of Cleve-
land. The Senator replied that such a
speech was directly in line with Hills
policy of opposition to the bill, which he
had continually maintained. Cleveland
opposed the bill in his Wilson message
with reference to the coal and iron. Hill
was therefore, perfectly consistent in
standing up for Cleveland. Mr.. Brice said
that the Senators did not view Senator
Germans speech as an attack on Cleve-
land. German simply stood up for the
Senate in reply TO charges made by Mr..
private letter. but afterward. by it's pub
iication. became a public communca ton.

ships got within comparatively short
distance of the transport Kow Shing and

was well directed and struck the transport

to the discharge of the torpedo the crew

her deck.
When the vessel began to sink there was
great excitement on board. In the dire
confusion that prevailed no attempt was
made to lower the small boats. But even
had they done so. the boats could have
carried only a small percentage OF those
on board. Every foreigner on the trans
port, which had been chartered by the
Chinese government from an English COM
pany, was either killed in the fighting or
went down with the vessel when she
foundered. The loss of life was very great
OF nearly two thousand Chinese troops on
board, only forty were saved. These were
picked up by the French gunboat Lion,
that was cruising in the vicinity. Only a
short time elapsed between the explosion
of the torpedo and the laundering of the
ly near Shopiont island, at which place
her commander made an attempt TO beach
her.
The Tsao Khan, which was captured by
the japanese, was an old man-of-war that
had been impressed into use a trans
port Many men were killed on board OF
her also before she fell into the hands
of the Japanese.
The Chinese official account of the recent
engagement between Chinese and japanese
war ships says that the Chinese ironclad
Chen-Yuen, which is one of the largest
vessels of her class, belonging to the north
ern fleet, retreated to Kotse and escaped
capture by the Japs. The latter, the report
adds, captured dispatch boat and sunk a
transport. Six other transports escaped.
News has been received here that on the
same day the naval engagement took place
the Jap troops ashore attacked the Chi
nese at Asan. No details of the attack have
been received. The British twin-screw

Explanation of the Omnibus Anti
Lottery Bill.


WASHINGTON. July pa strong de-
mand is being made by religious bodies for
the House to pass the anti-lottery BIZ
which Senator Hoar introduced in the Sen
ate, and which passed that body. Mr.. Brod-
erick, of the judiciary committee, who re-
ported the bill TO the House Friday. has
received hundreds of letters and petitions
during the session urging the passage of
the bill and the other members of the
committee have been the recipients OF
much correspondence on 9hessubject. Most
of the petitions have come from religious
organizations. but many individuals nave
written. While the present antl-loutery
laws were strongly drawn TO prevent tne
use of the mails for lottery business. the
measure now before Congress goes much
further, invoking the authority of Congress
tween tine States The penalties PROVIDED
for by the pending bill are very heavy, the
first offense being punishable by lmprisoh-
ment for not more than two years or by
fine of not more than $1,000, or both, ana
after the first offense by such imprison-
ment only. 1t embraces persons who cause
to be brought within the United States
from abroad, deposited or carried in the
mails, or carried from one State 10 another,
any paper purporting 20 be or representing
a ticket, share or interest in any lottery
or similar enterprise, or Vno causes any
advertisement of such an enterprise TO be
brought into the United States, deposited
in the mails or carried from one State TO
another 1t Stipulates that no part or the
bill shall be construed repeating any for
mer act for similar purposes.
Some opposition was raised in the Judi,
ciarv by those who argued that the bill
would if enacted, be an infringement on
personal rights. AS a concession TO this
sentiment an amendment was inserted pro-
viding that the contraband goods must be
brought into the United States for the pur-
pose of disposing of the same. Whether
the bill receives consideration from the
House this session depends on how long
the. session is protracted. It's friends are
confident that it Will eventually become
law They point out that the publications
which have been made to the
effect that it would interfere
with church fairs and similar en-
terprises are unfounded since Congress
has no jurisdiction in the matter except
over the mails and in the matter of COM
merce between the States or between Tor
eign nations and the United States. With
local matters in the States it cannot in
tprfere.

Japan Calling out Her Reserve.

YOKOHAMA, July 29.-An imperial edict
has been issued calling out the army and

bers. AT Toxic the conviction is growing
in official circles that the Chinese negotia-

orders to allow China 10 concentrate her
forces for the purpose of making a COM
bined attack on the Japs. Reliable infor-
nation has been received at Toxic that the
main body of the Chinese army crossed the
northwestern frontier of Corea on July %.
Further firing on Japanese ships on the
Corea coast is reported.
