They Express Some Doubt Concerninp
the Reported Cabinet Crisis.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.--No informa
ton has been received at the japanese
legation in confirmation or denial Of
the report that cabinet crisis exists in
Japan, though the legation would not
necessarily be informed of such an oc
currence until the formation of new
ministry.
The report Of dissolution was, how
ever, surprise to the members Of tn,
legation and has aroused great inter.
est While accustomed to look upon
Counts Ito and Yamagata as almost
permanent parts Of the Japanese gov.
ernment, they admit that there has
been dissatisfaction expressed amons
the opposition politicians concerning
the recession from the terms of the
original treaty, and it is surmised thai
any cabinet changes will be due to thii
criticism. They think, however, that
o change on this account Is improbable
as in japan the ministry is the creation
Of the emperor and its continuance in
Office is in no wise dependent upon
popular approval, except so far as the
ministers may personally be influenced
by IL. Furthermore, they find it diff.
cult to realize that there should be any
misunderstanding on the question Of
rank, it being stated that they resigned
because new titles were conferred or
them without consulting them.

Three Army Ofiicers Condemn the Settlers
of Jackson's Hole, wy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA report sent
to the war department by Captain j. 7.
Vanorsdale of the Seventh infantry,
late acting agent at the Fort Hall In
dian reservation. on the subject Of the
trouble with the Bannock Indians, has
been forwarded to the secretary of the
interior The report says in part:
Being short-rationed and far from
self-supporting, the Bannooks hunt for
the purpose of obtaining sustenance.
BY treaty they are granted this privi-
lsge. 1t would seem that the killing Of
these Indians under the circumstances
is nothing more or less than murder.
Further, believe that there is no wan
ton slaughter of game by them, while it
is notorious fact that hundreds Of an
imals are killed by white men for moth
ing more than heads and horns. There
are men In that country who make it a
business to pilot hunting parties from
the east and abroad which not only
slaughter elk, but capture and ship
them out Of the country. The killing
Of game by Indians interferes with their
business"
Captain Vanorsdale's report bears the
Endorsement Of Lieutenant Colonel
Henry f. Noyes of the Second cavalry
and Brigadier General Frank Wheaton,
commanding the department. of the Col.

very interesting test at Indian Head.

the Judgment of the officers that the
plate was too soft and no better than or.
dinary steel plate.
The next test was of an experimental

Two Friends Quarrel and One Shoots
Another-A Strange AFFAIR.
CLAY G. H., w. Va, Aug. 14.-While
Nathan Brock and John Stephenson
were going to their homes on Leather
Wood creek, about ten miles away, they
were overtaken by man named Woods,
who accompanied them. About o'clock
in the morning Brock and Stephenson
became involved in a scuffle, and the
latter shot Brock. About that time
negro came along and Stephenson, at
the point of his revolver, made the
negro promise to stay with him. Brock
had tainted but revived and begged
piteously for water, but Stephenson re.
fused to allow either Of the men to go
for it. He consented to allow the
wounded man to be taken into de-
serted shanty. While Brock was being
moved, Woods managed to escape and
hurried back 10 Clay 9. H. for doctor.
In about one hour Brock noticed that
the negro was snoring and that Stephen
son seemed to be asleep. He began to
feel around for some weapon and fonnd
gun which had been left there by the
last occupant Thinking it might be
loaded, he put it against Stephensons s
breast and pulled both triggers, but no
report followed. He then used the gun
as club on Stephenson's head. The
man gave a startled exclamation and
fell as though dead. This wakened the
negro, and without waiting to help
Brock he ran away. Brock thought he
had killed Stephenson and hid himself
in the bushes. Stephenson regained
consciousness, and after searching
everywhere for Brock went away and
has not been seen since. Woods and a
physician arrived at daylight and Brock
was taken to Clay G, H. in a dying
condition.
