The Reargument Will Begin Next Mon
day.
Washington, May 3.-There is no doubt
that the reargument of the income tax
cases in the supreme court will begin next
Monday. The matter from the first has
been contingent upon the arrival of JUS
tice Jackson from Tennessee. Today
Chief Justice Fuller announced from the
bench that Judge Jackson was expected
to be present on Monday. The announce
ment was made in response to q request
from General Jos. Wheeler, of Alabama,
who is counsel for George W. Russ in
the case of Telfner VS. Russ, in which is
involved the title Of a million acres OF
land in Texas, that the arguments in the
case may proceed Immediately after the
income tax cases. The court denied the
motion, the chief justice remarking Incl
dentalIy that he could not feel justified
in asking Justice Jackson to continue
his labors longer. General Wheeler has
received a letter from Justice jackson
in which he says that his health is SO
much improved that he hopes for its COM
plete restoration.

THE JAPS SCARED.
An American, Late of the Chinese Navy,
Makes a Few Remarks.

Washington, Pa, May 6.-The Chinese
government has but itself to blame for the
loss of the war with Japan. Govern
ment officials, high up in China, were in
the employ of Japan, both before and dur
ing the war; The enemy in most cases
anticipated our movements. Such was
the startling announcement made by
Captain McGifiin, who has just returned
to his home here from n 10 years service
in the Chinese navy. He was commander
of the Chen Yuen, the famous ironclad,
during the late unpleasantness between
China and Japan. He has returned
to America, most likely to remain, as he
evidently does not think well of the Chi
nese military and naval affairs.
II was in the hospital and not in COM
mand of the Chen Yuen at Wei Hai-Wei,
as was reported. Had l been in the fight
/ should not be here now, as l would
never have been taken alive. No, L
should not have given them the satisfac-
ton of catching me. The Japanese had
an ironclad agreement in which no quart
er to foreign dogs was very conspicuous,
and they meant it,.
when we went into the big battle of
Yalu, | made all preparations to keep
out of the hands of the japanese in case
we should get the worst of it. Yes,
would have killed myself before being
taken for torture by the japanese. Now
that the war is over | want to say right
here that there is a blot on the previous
good name of Japan which will never be
effaced. Without one word of warning,
before war had been declared, their fleet
pounced down on the defenseless Kow
Shong and sent her, with 1000 souls, to
the bottom. 1t was one of the most cold
fVt.I t.aN I,s
