IN THE ORIENT.
THE ALLEGED CRISIS IN THE ia
PAN CABINET.
Probably Due to Developments Made
in Connection With the NegOtia-
tions Between China and Japan.

WASHINGTON, Aug. members
of the diplomatic corps who are in
formed as TO the progress of affairs in
the Orient, think it probable, if there
has been any crisis in the japanese
cabinet as represented in recent dis
patches, that it may be due TO devel-
opments made in connection with the
negotiations between China and Japan
which are understood to be now in
progress at Picking between the new
japanese minister there and the Chi
nese authorities. 1t is understood here
that the labor of shaping the new re-
lations between the two Oriental en-
pires has been left largely to Mr..
Havashi, the new Japanese minister
at Peking5 and that this work en-
braces many details supplemental to
the final treaty including, besides the
establishment of commercial relations
between the two countries, the fixing
of the amount of the indemnity for
the surrender of the Lao Tung penin-
sula. This work would naturally in
volve' a reviewIo the original treaty.

FRUIT CROP.
PROSPECTIVE RETURNS MUCH
LARGER THAN EXPECTED.
Years Past-ShOwinS on the Pa
cific Coast.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE official
returns for August show that the pros
pective fruit crop of the country taken
as a whole, is much larger than for
several years. The report follows:
Apples-The crop met with no SER
ious obstacles to development during
July. The influences upon which th1
proper maturity of the crop naturally
depends have been SO favorable that
very general increase in the index
figures have resulted. There are, how
ever, some very important states in
which the crop promised is less than
half the normal product This is the
case in Maine. New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Michigan and Wisconsin, the
percentage ranging from IS in AIichi-
gan to 40 in Vermont.
Massachusetts, New York. PennsvI-
vania and Iowa show conditions be
tween 80 and 60, or indicated products
at slight above one-half the normal.
On the other hand fifteen states, New
Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee. West
Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri.
Nebraska and Colorado, and the Pacific
coast states, including states not com
mercially important, have a condition
of so or over and of these six New Jer-
sey, Kentucky. Arkansas, Indiana.
Missouri and Colorado are above 80.
Kentucky going to 1O1. Ohio and Hin
OILS. with conditions 73 and ~ respec-
lively, stand between the high and the
low. The crop is reported generally
short in the north. but abundant in the
southern portions of these states The
general average of condition. is liz
against A last year.
Peaches-The average condition of
peaches August l is SS.S against 22.3 in
1894. The prospective yield has de-
clined heavily in Delaware, where
about one-third the normal crop is
now indicated. New Jersey has also
suffered, the percentage falling u
points and resting now at 81. The con-
ditions are high in Connecticut and
Georgia respectively go and 104. Mary
land hopes for a two-third crop; Vir-
ginia something under that portion. A
very short crop is indicated for Ohio
and for Michigan about half the nor
NAL product. On the Pacific coast con-
ditions approximate the general aver
age for the country. Much complaint
of dropping and rorting is made, the
latter especially in the south.

HORSE MEAT.
IT MAY CAUSE INTERNATIONAL
COMPLICATIONS.
Good Horse Flesh is Better Than
Beef, But it is Diseased Flesh
That the Germans Are Raising IL
Row Over.

CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-It now appears
that the horse meat packing house, a
mile from the southwestern portion of
the city, may possibly be the cause of
international complications. Richard
Martin, owner of the packing house,
and who ships quantities of meat to
Paris, Antwerp and Berlin for food, is
to receive some distinguished visitors.
1t is probable that tomorrow Gabriel
Veielhomme, the French consul,
Charles Henrotin, the Belgian consul,
and Il. Bopp, the vice-German consul.
accompanied by a city meat inspector
and one or two policemen, will call on
Mr. Martin to see If he is shipping
diseased horse meat to their respective
countries, as has been reported. They
have no thought of attempting to in
terfere with Martins business, but
only of warning the authorities abroad
against receiving it.
Consul Veielhomme said: This is a
subject in which my government feels
a deep interest. 1t will be inconveni-
ent for me to go so far as to inspect
Martins premises. but under the cir
cumstances | shall surely do so. 1 am
surprised that there is no law in this
country by which to take hold of him,
but the least / can do is to ascertain
the facts and put the authorities in
France on their guard. l think it
might be well for the three consuls

bility that Martin is shipping diseased
horse meat to Germany, / must of ne

CREED AGITATION.
Bitter Feeling Between Catholics
and Anti-CathoIics

CINCINNATI. Aug. IA bitter
creed agitation broke out here tonight.
R. E. Moorehead. aged 30, died at 9 a.
m. today at his home, 155 Central
avenue. He was a member of Wash
ington council of anti-Catholic order,
known as the American Flag.
He affiliated with A. P. A. men, but
could not belong to that order, be-
cause his wife was a Catholic
Today it was announced that Moore
head died Catholic, and that the fam
lily did not want Washington council or
local lodges of the American Flag to
participate at the funeral. The lodges
insisted on their usual services for
members. Their request to be at the
Cathedral Sunday morning was also
denied
The members of the order held an
indignation meeting tonight. at which
it was questioned whether Moorehead
died Catholic. Members of the A. p.
A are taking part in the agitation.
Moorehead's cashier in his restaurant
is member of the American Flag. He
said Moorehead was unconscious for
some time before the priest was called
to administer the last rites and that
he died unconscious. He also asserts
that the family would not allow him
or any other members of the order to
see Moorehead after his condition be-
came serious. The officiating priest is
unable to state whether Moorheead
was conscious and stated that it is NOT
material point in his duty as he was
called by MrS. Moorehead. The mem
Ders of the American Flag and the A
p. A. are causing a great stir over the
case.
