European Powers.

European Powers.
YOKOHAMA, April 22.-The following
is the text of the statement issued by the
Japanese government denying the re-
ports that it has concluded an offensive
aud defensive alliance with China, and
declaring that the commercial advantages
secured by Japan will also be enjoyed by
the other powers under the favored ma
ton treatment:
Misapprehensions are reported to be
current in Europe in regard to the terms
OF the Japan China treaty. 1t has been
represented that Japan has secured a
two per cent advaiorem duty on imports
instead of specific duty and has also
formed an offensive and defensive alli-
ance with China.
The commercial concessions obtained
by the treaty powers under the favored
nation clause comprise the right to nav
gate the Yang tse Kiang to Chung X ug
ana also WOon Sung river and the can 8

and the right 10 import machinery and
certain goods duty free and 10 establish

These concessions are not exclusive t.
Japan. They naturally GO TO Europe; n
powers in virtue of the favored nation
clause. In securing these privileges for
all, japan expects the approval of all
the powers.

Moving a Big House, Family, Furni-
ture and All.
Very few of their friends know it but
Frank Parkhurst, of the Pdrkhurst
Davis Co., and his family, have gone on
a thirty days trip, after which they hope
to be at home to their friends. They are
travelling as very few people ever travel,
and though they will be on the road the
entire thirty days, the distance
travelled will only be twelve blocks, aud
all within the city limits OF Topeka.
Mr.. Parkhurst bought the r. L. Cofran
house, just south OF the new Santa Fe
hospital, on Jefferson street, and moved
his family into il. but as the association
owned the ground Mr. Parkhurst had to
take the house away. He made arrange
ments TO move the house, which is a large
handsome eight-room dwelling, to the
corner of Ninth and Tyler streets, and
the work of moving the house was STAR
ed week ago. 1t is probably the largest
house which was ever moved SO great a
distance in Topeka.
The family is still living in the house
and they have already gone one block of
their trip. The most difficult part of
the moving is to be done this week. The
house now stands Oh the elevated lawn
just north of the old 7. j. Kellam resi-
dence on Madison street and it must be
lowered to the street This will be done
by building d gentle incline, but water
buckets and milk pitchers will proba bly,

travellers may fancy themselves in a ship

OUR NEW POLICE FORCE.
The New Police Board Has Hard Task
Before 1t.

The New Police Board Has a Hard Task
Before 1t.
The members of the new board of po-
lice commissioners received their COM
missions from Governor Morrill, today.
There are twenty two places to De filed,
including the officers, and there are at
least 200 applicants who want the places.
There is quite contest for the posi-
ton of police judge. Those who have
filed applications are E. A Wagner, L.
:. Ferry, r. Ii. G. Searle, NJ. NJ. Hale and
G. W. Carey. The last two are from
North Topeka Mr. WAGNER and Mr..
SeaIle have both held the position before,
but Mr.. WAGNER had only been in a
short time when he was turned out by
the Populist administration. All the APP
plicants are we'll endorsed.
Besides the candidates for chief already
mentioned, Henry Steele and Tim DonO-
van, who are now sergeants on the police
force, are applicants well as L D.
Eversole, an old soldier and we'll known
contractor. Steele has good reputa-
ton as an officer. Donovan was a failure
az chief when he held the position in
1893 He hasn't backbone enough to
stand up against the wheedling or bull
doing of people of influence. A chief
is needed who obeys implicitly the or
ders of the police board and 'lets no
guilty man escape"
The commissioners elect one sanitary
officer who receives a salary OF 500 per
month, and there are numerous appli-
cants for the place. This officer has but
little to do but look wise.
City jailer is another office which does
not require a great deal of exertion, but
more humanity than is often shown.
There is no dearth of candidates. A. K.
| Jester wants the place. He made an
efficient officer under the Republican
administration before. G. d. Brusman
and W. d. Disbrow and Al Hopkins are
the other prominent candidates.
Three fambeau clubs have each en-
dorsed man for place on the force.
The Topeka Flambeau club as the ap-
pointment of Hopkins as city jailer, the
| Scandinavian club would like to have
| Charles Carlson on the force, the
! South Topeka colored club wants
| Charles Smith to have posi-
ton as patrolman, and the North To.
! peka colored club would like to see IL.
d Smith given place.
! 1t was thought that the board would
/ meet tonight to organize, but they will
not meet until early next week.
When they do. they should retain all
| the competent policemen and replace the
| incompetents with capable men, not as
rewards for political services, but because
they will make good policemen.
| The fact of the matter is that if the
chief is the right kind of a man he
ought to have the choice of most of his
subordinates.

William Smith was having a nice, So
ciable time with himself and the snow
storm last evening when Officer Owens
found him on lower Kansas avenue. Will
liam is colored.
He was lonesome yesterday and con-
cluded he could enliven things by the aid
of little whisky. so he made up his
mind to get some. But he hadn't any
money. He couldn't let little thing like
that bother him long though, so he ap-
propriated som rabbits from in front of
a store and sold them to another store.
When Owens found him he was yelling
and hurting defiance to the wintry blasts,
but the wintery blast went on blasting
just the same.
1t was necessary to ''drop" William
several times before he would come along
peaceabiy but he did finally.
He was honest enough to make con-
fession this morning in police court and
the judge fined him So
Lawrence Hitchcock, white boy who
talked out loud at the Salvation Army
