Cooperation for Their Protection Sug-

Cooperation for Their Protection Sug-
gested by Secretary Herbert.
WASHINGTON, October 7.-Secretary
Herbert said to-day, when asked about
the steps he had taken for the safety of
Americans in China, that about two
weeks ago he had sent written instruc-
tions to Admiral Carpenter, command
ing the American forces in Chinese wa
tiers, suggesting to him that he place
himself in communication with the COM
manders of the foreign fleets and Coop
crate with them by arranging for con-
certed action in guarding foreign inter
ests intrusted to their care. 1t was sug-
gested that, if possible, an agreement
might be reached for an effective distri
button of ships in such way that all
the treaty and other ports where foreign
interests might be endangered should be
cared for by one or more ships from the
fleets, with the understanding that they
were mutually to give protection to the
citizens OF all nations entering into the
agreement.
There are at present but five American
vessels on the Asiatic station, and though
this number will be increased to eight
by December l, there are at least fifteen
ports where the lives of American Citi
zens may be endangered. If Admiral
Carpenter can secure the cooperation of
the British Admiral, the British and
American ships could be distributed in
such a manner as to protect both Brit
ish and American subjects and the Brit
ish ships would assist Americans and
Englishmen in one port while the Ameri-
can vessels looked after the Englishmen
and Americans in others.
AN Ex-CoNsUL's VIEWS.
New YORK, October Henry I. An
Han Kow, China, was to-day asked to
give his views of the present condition
of China, particularly in regard to the
danger threatening foreign residents at
Picking, Shanghai, Han Kow and other
places open to foreigners. He said in
substance:
1.-THE danger to foreigners at Picking
comes from the inability of the Chinese
officers to restrain their soldiers, the lat
ter always considering foreigners legit-
innate objects of ridicule and abuse. Pc
king being to certain extent an iso-
lated place, it is more important that
the families of foreigners should be taken
to points where they can have the pro-
lection of gunboats. The only access to
Picking being overland and hard trip,
the road to Tien Tsin could easily be OBJ
structed and closed, which would render
it impossible to bring away the women
and children, except under a strong
armed force. do not think there will
be the slightest resistance offered to the
entry of the British forces into Picking.
The treaty ports on the Yang-tse- kiang
will be hard to relieve in case OF trouble,
and hence the necessity of anticipating
it,"

MURDERED BY JAPANESE.
One Place Where There is IA Dearth of
Civilization.

Civilization.
SAN Francisco, October 7.-One hears
from time to time good reports concern
ing the spread of Christianity in Kocki
prefecture, says the Japan Mail. There
certainly is need of civilizing factor in
that part of Japan. Elections are there
most tiercely contested, always with at
tendant bloodshed. The "Soshl" is
there in his native element. He swag-
gers and threatens and carries sword
canes or bludgeons, and his services,
questionable and illegal though they be,
are constantly requisitioned by men who
ought to know better than to appeal to
brute force. Finally murders of colossal
dimensions are of not infrequent occur
renee. The death by violence of one
man generally includes that of most all
of the members of his family. August
% another wholesale slaughter is re-
corded as having taken place in kami
Nata Mura, one of the larger villages in
that troubled prefecture. Two local Con-
stables, brothers, had for some years
been connected with another man, the
husband of their only sister, in the sake
brewing business. Some time in June
the brother-in-law suddenly announced
an intention to divorce his wife and re-
tire from the trade. 1t was found that
he had expended a large sum to redeem
a prostitute from the house in which she
had lived. The woman thereupon be-
came the new wife of the ex-sake brewer,
who was urgently requested by the angry
brothers of his former spouse TO return
moneys he held of theirs. This he al
legged was an possibility, as he had paid
out all the funds he possessed. Doubly
indignant at this and the harsh manner
in which he had divorced their sister,
the two brothers entered his house in
the dead of night and killed him, his two
children (their own nephew and neice),
the mans mother, the ex-prostitute wife
and another woman who happened to be
living in the house at the time. The
elder assassin thereupon Immediately
disemboweed himself, while the younger
threw himself from a height OF some
seventy feet into bamboo grove, receiv-
ing fatal injuries, although still alive ac-
cording to the latest reports. This is the
third or fourth time this year that SINH
lar terrible crimes have been reported
from KOCH, while our readers may still
remember the story of those two des-
peradoes last year who took to the
mountains and finally committed sui
eide after killing no less than ten people
and terrorizing a whole district for more
than month.

SUNDAYS Shall be Blue.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich, October THE
City Council has decided that hereafter
Sunday shall be blue. Under an old
State law they can close everything ex-
cept churches, and yesterday the local
police ordered the restaurants, cigar
stores, livery stables, druggists and news
stands to suspend business to-day under
the penalty of fine. Those affected by
the order say they will complain OF every
man, woman and child found performing
any act that is not distinctly deed OF
necessity or charity Sunday.

sUsCEPTIBLE OF SETTLEMENT.
Wants to be Hanged.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., October 8.-Paul
GEM, who killed Clara Arnmin in Hobo
ken two months ago, and whose trial
was set for next Thursday, will not be
tried then. The prisoner refuses to al
low the court to set aside his plea of
guilty or to hold any conference with
the lawyers assigned to defend him. He
says he is guilty and wants to be hanged
as soon as possible. Under a law passed
last winter the court cannot accept a
plea OF guilty in capital case, and Judge
Lippincott has decided to postpone the
case until the constitutionality OF the
new law can be decided. Prosecutor
Winfield says the right of a person ac-
cused OF crime to plead guilty is con-
stitutional right, and cannot be impaired
by statute.

u. P. DIRECTORS
Make Report of the Operations
During the Fiscal Year.
CAUSE OF ITS BANKRUPTCY

Government Directors Say 1t Was the
Losses Arising From the Guarantee
and other Contracts-PIanE Embodied
in Reilly Bill Not Entirely Approved.
New YORK, October 6.-The govern
ment directors of the Union Pacific this
afternoon made public their report to the
Secretary OF the Interior of the oper-
atoms of the system for the year ending
June 80, 1894. After reviewing the causes
which led to the appointment of receiy-
ers in October last, they discuss the diff
ficulties experienced by the latter, and
add:
1--WE feel that we are entirely within
bounds in saying that the result OF the
guaranty traffic and construction con-
tracts entered into by the Union Pacific
Railway Company since 1887 have caused
that company loss exceeding SI,OUO,-
600, and have been an important, If not
the controlling, factor in causing the
bankruptcy of the company"
Among the guaranty contracts spe-
CalIy mentioned as disastrous are those
with the Oregon Short Line and Utah
Northern, the Oregon Railway and Nayl-
cation, and the Union Pacific, Denver
and Gulf Companies. In spite OF these
criticisms the directors believe the best
interests of the government will be adj
vanced by retaining the auxiliary prop
critics in the system under proper man
agement, and that every eXertlon should
be made to bring about reorganization
of the system intact, as ACKNOWLEDGMENT
would largely impair its value and earn
ing power.
The directors, however, do not entirely
approve the plan embodied in the Reilly
bill now before Congress, and offer some
suggestions of their own. They would
issue $3.50, 100000 of per cent lOO-year
gold bonds, $20,000,00O of 5 per cent
non-cumulative preferred stock and SOL :
OO0,0 900 of common stock. On the capt.
tai stock outstanding they would levy an
assessment of $40 per share and issue
assessment. OF the new bonds they
would award $40, 600,0 900 to the govern
ment at par in settlement of its debt,
and for its ultimate redemption sink
ing fund is recommended, which shall
NpSb III bllt Ill uSIStS vi viz SNliSi bA mo-
gage all securities and lands now held IN
the Drexel- Morgan per cent note trust
and the per cent trust. The amount
required to meet the interest on the en-
tire issue of the per cent bonds above
suggested is less than the actual net
earnings during year ended June 80, 1894.
The annual payment to the United States
would exceed $4,000, 900, and would be
larger than the payments called for I'M
der the Reilly bill. New bonds at vary
ing rates would be offered to other cred
itors. Foreclosure of all the properties
involved would be necessary. Separate
plans based on the same general princi-
pies are recommended for the Oregon
Short Line and the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company.
The report is signed by E. Ellery An.
derson, j. w. Doane, Fitzhugh Lee and
Joseph w. Paddock.

ENGLISH PRESS COMMENT.
Its Tone Favors Interference for the
Sake of Peace.

Its Tone Favors Interference for the
Sake OF Peace.
LONDON, October 7. - Commenting
upon the Eastern situation, the Post
says; The present position of China
cannot be lightly regarded. If that en-
pire was broken up or its position i'm
periled, the outlook would be extremely
grave. Hitherto we have been accus-
toned to regard China as an ally, and
we have trenchant agreements with her
which require close attention. Ii Hung
Chang is the only man of eminence in
China capable of advising the Emperor
at this juncture. He deserves any aid
that England can afford him in the eff
fort to save his country from the terrible
dangers with which it is menaced.
The Graphic: 1t is time halt was
called by the European powers inter
ested in keeping the peace. Neither
Great Britain nor Russia wish to see
China permanently crippled by the Jap
anese. A state of chaos in the former
empire would raise problems that might
set the world ablaze.
The Daily News; There is no reason
whatever to believe that the alarming
rumors of the last few days were the OIL
spring of any inspiration but that aris-
ing from complete Misunderstanding
of the actual state of things.
The Manchester Guardian suggested
that the Ministerial Council to-day con-
slider Russias demand that the powers
collectively interfere with the view OF
elfecting a settlement of the China-Japan
troubles. Lord Rosebery fears Russia
will act alone in the matter, to the detri-
ment of England if the latter refuses to
agree.
The Standard: Whatever truth there
may have been in yesterdays rumors,
all danger of a rupture, if such existed,
has vanished, thanks to the conciliatory
disposition of the French statesmen.
The Telegraph in an article written IN
similar strain to that of the Chronicle
remarks that three of the five ships or
dered to China could not possibly arrive
there in time to avert the possible mas
sacre of British subjects, nor would a
vessel of the type of the tirst-class cruiser
st. George be needed merely to keep or
der at treaty ports. The paper hints
that possibly n further emergency is be-
ing provided for.
The Chronicle: 1t is difficult to under
stand why an act so purely administra-
tive as that of increasing the squadron
in Chinese waters could not have been
decided without summoning the Cabinet
in hot haste from all parts OF the United
Kingdom and Europe.

JAPANESE WAR SONGS.

fh.y All Breathe of IA Spiritual Bitter
ness Toward China.
WASHINGTON, October 6,-The officials
d the Japanese legation have received a
budget of news and gossip by the last
nail from Japan. The spirit of the peo-
pie is shown in the war songs sung by
\ ibeJapanese troops as they push toward
peking, The songs were officially COM
pIaa6y Prince Arisugawa. They breathe
aest bitterness against China, and de-
Ssre that now is the time to plant the
hg OF the Rising Sun on the walls OF
tPking and to illuminate its darkness.
| Each verse of the song begins and ends
With "Strike and chastise China" Va
Hous verses describe the Chinese as ar
ngant and insolent, with an army OF
towards" The Chinese troops war
longs say of the Japanese: -,
"They are an undisciplined rabble,
and however fine their arms look, they
are useless, like fine ladies in pictures"
The Japanese Minister of Finance has
officially made announcement that the
var will not be allowed to interrupt the
internal improvement of Japan. Con-
sequently railway construction is to pro,
seed with the same vigor as in peaceful
times The Minister has arranged so
that the treasury shall keep separate &C
counts of war expenses and those for in
Ernal improvements in order that the
1trmer may not overshadow the latter.
The late customs-house reports in Japan
lhow that her trade with the United
States is greater than with any other
power. The total trade last year was
'bOut 1000, 900 yen. British trade, which
ZONES second, is 500, 900 yen.
The Japanese people and press are re-
iorting to the Chinese Emperor's proc
lamation directing that the Japanese
NO ien," meaning pigmies, should be
driven to their lairs. The Chinese are
being called "chau chau, meaning puer--
lity; "toupi kau," meaning pig-tailed
yagabonds. China is referred to as
mei'so-kuku," the country in which
lne people cannot make up their minds.
The Japanese papers are already print
ing cuts showing the rout OF the Chinese
ssn land and sea.
