READY TO APPEAL.
Papers In the Arms Case Finished by
Government Attorneys.

Mr.. William Morrison, attorney for the
government in the Major Armes case. flied
yesterday all the papers necessary To per-
feet the appeal from the recent decision of
Judge Bradley in favor of Major Armes.
IL Is expected that the case VIII come up
for "a hearing again in December.
Ii is rumored about the department that
this case has made the government very
tired. They don't know what TO do with
il. and would have been better pleased
had il not been developed.
Gen. Schofield, il Is thought, is taking
things quite too leisurely, inasmuch as he
was the dlscOverer of the legal contention.
He went off on "A holiday excursion i'm
mediately after the case came up, and has
as yet given no sign of further interest in
the trouble in which the department has
become involved. They explain his lack
of interest by believing that Gen. Schofield
believes that the case can only terminate
III favor OF the government. So far the
War Department has had considerably the
worst of the fight.

rs A SECRET OF STATE.
JAPAN'S SUBMISSION KEPT
FROM THE PEOPLE.
Have No Official Information of the Adj
verse Fortune Dealt Out to the Vic
torious Nation by the European AL
Isance-South American News.

Toxic. April q, via San Francisco,
Cal, May 14.-Although totally igno-
rant up to this day of what is in store
the people of Japan are about to re-
ceive a heavy blow of adverse fortune.
To what extent the news of the hostile
combinations of Russia, Germany and
France has been made public in Europe
and America, residents of Japan have
no means of knowing; but in this coun-
try 1t remains a secret of state and Enay
not be officially disclosed for some time
to come. Rumors are prevalent, but the
startling fact that the three great pow
ers have united to deprive Japan OF
the continental territory coded by Chi
ma is scarcely suspected by any out
side of official circles. The announce
ment was delivered at Hiroshima April
%, and after receiving the emperors
commands, Count Ito set forth to con-
ltary resort, Mako, whittier the junior
commissioner had repaired in hope Of
regaining his shattered health.
The heads OF departments in Toxic
were notified April "a but foreign min
listers were confidentially advised on that,
and the following days. BY them the,
governments not already concerned
were made acquainted with the facts.
No Japanese newspaper has yet OBJ
tanned information on the subject, but
foreign journals indulge only in vague
speculation. Upon the general popu-
lace the stroke is yet to fall.

TROOPS MAY BE SENT.
MILITIA IN READINESS AT DU-
LUTH, MIMI.
Trouble at the Franklin Mine May
Necessitate Armed Interfcrence-Gen-
eral Notes of the Labor Situation
Throughout the Country.

Duluth, Mimi, May 1.-THE armory
was the scene of considerable excite
ment last night, the militia, being un-
der arms in readiness, if necessary, to
take special train for the Franklin
Rockefeller mine at Virginia, this state,
where rioting is feared. Late Saturday
night Sheriff Butchart sent a call for
troops to Gov Clough, explaining that
the miners who had gone on strike for
higher wages were interfering with the
non-union men who had been employed,
preventing the operation of the big
steam shovels at the rock piles, and
making all kinds of threats against the
men and the mine owners. The mine
employed about 500 men, and of this
number nearly all were ignorant Hun
garians, Finlanders, and Poles, who,
under the leadership Of one or two Of
their better educated countrymen have
been inflamed against the company and
the men who have taken their places,
until they are ready for almost any
thing.
The troops were called to the armory
In the afternoon, where they were given
instructions by the commanding officer,
Similar orders were given last year
when the troops went to the same mine
to quell a disturbance, and as a result
one of the strikers was shot dead in his
tracks and several more were wounded
badly. Many of the men who are now
making threats are the same men who
led the men last year.
The Franklin mine is the richest on
the Mesaba range, but, In spite of this
fact and the further alleged fact that it
has been making more money than all
the others put together, it has refused
to advance the wages of its men 10 per
cent, as others have done, and this has
created a most bitter feeling against it
along the range. 1t is feared the trou-
Bile will extend to all of the mines on
the range, as many of the miners are
discontinued and have been waiting for
just some such opportunity to go out.
Many deputy sheriffs are now on the
ground, but as most of them are old
mining men, whose sympathies are
with the strikers, it is not expected
there will be any collision unless the
troops reach the ground.
At the conclusion of conference
which lasted until midnight Adjutant-
General Muchlberg declared he believ-
ed the situation less serious than re-
ported; that the sheriff had not exer-
cised all his authority, and declined to
send troops until he shall have made
personal investigation.
The mining company and cne sheriff
fear that this move will precipitate
more trouble.

Bierely of st. Marys, Ohio, and Peter
Finch of Portland, Ind, were instantly

grade. Finch is the son OF Deputy Sher-
If Finch of Jay county, Indiana.

Two Years at Hard Labor.

Eau Claire, Wis, May 9.-Judge
Bailey at 1915 yesterday sentenced
Harry d. McMaster to two years in the
state prison at Waupun with hard
labor. In his charge he used forcible
language. He declared that the only
way to suppress such cases of embez-
element was to strike at the root Of
public gambling. The Chicago board of
trade, he believes, had caused more dis
