Senator James f. Wilson dts1 late last
night.
James T Wilson. whose second term in
the United States senate expired on the
third day Of last month. was a prominent
figure in congress during the war, being
the close personal friend Of Thaddeus
Stevens and James G. Blaine. His public
life covered wide range Of services ana
so FAR as Iowa is concerned they were by
no means confined 20 his congressional
career He was native of Ohio. having
been born October f9. lS9S at Newark.
He learned the harness trade and took
his first lessons IN law from borrowed
books as he worked al the bench In Is5S

framed the present state constitution IN
1851 and was 4 leading member, though
one of the youngest in that body. He was
a member Of the legislature several terms
and in 1851 was president OF the senate.
He was that year elected TO congress. as
he was for three successive terms. In
the house he was chairman of the judi
ciary committee, covering the last three
years Of the war and the reconstruction

sion of the important measures OF the

ton by which slaN cry was abolished. He

stitution prohibiting the payment of any

ABOUT THE VALKYRIE
The New Vessel Compared
With the Ai1sa.
DOUBTS AS TO PROBABLE SPEED
Should the Latter Prove the Faster, 1t
Is Likely Dunraven's Boat will
Still Come to America.

Glasgow, April "a correspondent
had an interview today with Clyde
boatbuilder, who stands very near Mr..
Watson, the yacht designer. The
builder has seen as much of Valkyrie
LII as has been completed. AS to the
manning of the new yacht, he said that
both Captain Cranfeld and Captain
Sycamore had been engaged by Lord
Dunraven, but he did not know which
one would be in charge. Clyde yachts
men, he said, did not think that Gran
field and Sycamore were an ideal team,
although Cranfeld was finished
helmsman, and Sycamore was smart
enough all-around sailor. So far as ex-
perts who have had glimpse of Val
kyrie III, in her incomplete state, could
judge, she will not be quite SO slippery
as the Ailsa in light winds, but she
will be better in breeze. Her larger
displacement, combined with her heav-
Ter and deeper keel, will give her more
stability. The wetted surface of VAL
kyrie III will probably equal the ALL
sa s, but her sail area will doubtless be
less.
The fact that the Ailsa and Valkyrie
III will meet only in the Clyde regetta,
the builder said, will lessen the form
ers' chances of being sent to America
to contest for the cup. AS the time
will be short and the racing confined to
one neighborhood, it will be easy to
find excuses for the Valkyrie Ill, if she
should be beaten trifie by the Ailsa.
The weather might all be of one kind
and flukes might occur. 1t will be al
together very difficult for the Ailsa to
establish conclusively, under the cir
cumstances, that she is the faster boat
of the two, even if she should really
prove to be little in advance of the
Valkyrie III. Moreover Lord Dunra-
ven is exceptionally popular with
yachtsmen throughout the United King
dom. He has done so much for sport
in general and for yachting in particu-
lar that nobody desires to see Mr..
Walker, owner of the Ailsa, snatch
from him the honor of contesting the
cup races, to say nothing of winning
the cup. The Ailsa, however, is not
the speediest boat in every kind OF
weather. Although wonder in light
winds, she is not equal to the Britannia
in a good breeze.
In speaking briefly of the 2O-rater
Niagara, which the Herreshoffs have
built for Howard Gould, Mr.. Watsons'
friend said, that the only new boat
able to meet her would be probably the
one built in Kiel for the German en-
peror. 1t was only fair to Mr.. Watson
to say, he added, that the emperor had
not allowed him to design an extreme
boat, and, therefore, the result would
not be the best that Mr.. Watson could
do.

JAPAN'S ACTIVITY UNDATED
Her Troops Reported to Be Marching
Upon Takow.

Her Troops Reported to Be Marching
Upon Takow.
London, April 6.-The Times CORE
spondent in Simonosaki sends this dis
patch under date of March 81:
Military activity in Japan has not
abated. Five transports with infantry
and cavalry were hurried away yester-
day before the armistice was pro-
claimed. The conditions arranged in
dictate the desires of China to save Pc
king at any cost. Simonosaki is filled
with police to protect the Chinese en-
voys."
From Hong Kong the Times has this
dispatch, under today's date:
''The Chinese are fleeing from South
Formosa to the mainland and Hong
Kong. The japanese are reported to
be marching upon Takow. The Chi
nese army in North Formosa is about
5000; of this force 5000 are splendid
troops, well armed. The remainder
are raw recruits, even many beggars.
Fighting is imminent. The foreigners
are believed to be safe. Vigorous meas
ures have been taken in Swallow and
Canton to resist the measures Of the
invaders. Booms have been placed
across the Canton river and tOrpedOes
have been placed in Swallow harbor.' -

SPOKEN OF THE CANAL
Inc folIey OF England Toward the
Nicaragua Waterway.

LONDON, April 11.-Replying to a.
question in the house of commons the
parliamentary secretary to the foreign
ONCE, Sir Edward Grey, said the gov
eminent was aware that the United
States had appointed committee TO
inquire into the feasibility of the plan
Tor building canal across Nicaragua
to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific
but Great Britain would not appoint a
committee to cooperate with the Unit
ed States committee, unless the govern
ment Of the United States was DESTROYS
that Great Britain should do so. In
reply to question, Sir Edward Grey
said III case the construction of the ca
nal was proceeded with, the govern
ment would take steps to insure Brit
1sh trade being placed on the same
basis with that of other nations.
In answer to George Baden Powell,
Sir Edward Grey said that the govern
ment had not received any proposition
form the United States to summon a
conference Of the powers concerned to
deal with the seal fisheries of the North
Pacific. Sir George Baden-Powell also
asked whether Great Britain could
refuse to join in such a conference, as
instructed on the lines suggested by
the Paris tribunal of arbitration in
1898, but to the question no reply was
made. Answering a question of Sir
Baden-Powell, as to whether petition
had not been received from Canada
suggesting that in case of the inability
of the United States congress to ap-
propriate the sum agreed upon, under
the Paris award, and in view of the
serious financial difficulties to the seal
fisheries which has arisen, would Great
Britain guarantee that portion of the
award pending settlement with the
United States? Mr.. Sidney Buxton, par
liamentary secretary to the colonial
office, said:'I am in no position to an
swer that question. Grey, replying
to question, said the republic Of Ha-
wall has been recognized by England.
In the house today the government
announced that one-half of the troops
in British Honduras will be with
drawn April 13 , and the remainder
at the end of July.

THE SHORTAGE AT CARSON.
Two of the Government Employees Have
Been Suspended.


Been Suspended.
Reno, New, April 10.-The Gazette
this evening publishes the following
concerning the Carson mint scandal:
John T. Jones, assistant manager and
refiner of the United States branch
mint at Carson, and Earnest Harris, a
melter in the smelter and reiner de-
partment, were suspended this morn
ing. This may or may not be an indi-
cation of what will shortly follow.
The Gazette has positive information
that the mint shortage amounts to
about $50, 900 and covers a period of
about five years, running back to the
time that S. G. Wright was superin-
tendent, then through two years of L.
R. Hofer's administration. Hofer was
appointed superintendent at the time
of the death of Wright, in the summer
of 1892. The shortage continues dur
ing the present administration.
The bullion on hand has all been re-
assayed, to ascertain if the value
stamped on the bars tallies with their
true value 1t is needless to say it
does not. Inspector Maroon is making
a most thorough examination into the
mint affairs, and will undoubtedly sue
coed in placing the theft where it right
fully belongs. The inspector found
that one deposit, containing about $685.
900, one-half of which was gold, had
been substituted by bars which are val
ued at only 50, 900, principally silver,
while the original contained large per
centage of gold.
