SURE TO BE PUNISHED.

Washington, D. c., March
26.-The japanese legation has
received the official rescript
issued by the Emperor of Japan
on the occasion of the shooting

several statements not given in

country:
"Although China is actually
at war with US, she sent an
envoy, observing the due forms
and ceremonies of nations, to
negotiate peace and we also
appointed our plenipotentiaries
to meet and confer with him at
Simonski' j. being proper
that we should, in accordance
with established international
usage and with due regard to
the honor Of the State, extend
to the envoy suitable treatment
and protection, we especially
directed the competent author
tiles to neglect nothing to that
end. We deeply regret that a
miscreant has unfortunately ap-
peared who has inflicted an in,
jury upon the envoy. The of
fender will, of course, be punish
ed by the competent authorities
according to the law, without
the least extenuation."

AUSTIN NEWS NOTES.
a Appropriations Cut Down.-No
More Annual Encamp-
ment.
Special Correspondence of THE HERALr

Austin, Texas, March 1895.
The Legislature all this week
has been busy on the general
appropriation bill, and has not
neglected to cut salaries of
clerks, at the same time, how
ever, with the utmost consider
alton, leaving salaries of the
government at their old figures.
This is something that the
average clerk cannot see
through and he piously asserts
its macks of inconsistency,
Wednesday, the House, after
considerable discussion cut out
the $4,000 appropriation for
the militia and annual encamp-
ment next year. 1t was a very
Iunwise thing to do, and is
directly opposite to the con
duct of the legislatures Of other
states. The past few years and
the past few weeks in New
Orleans, has demonstrated the
absolute necessity of the states
maintaining an eficint military
force. A few populists among
the more ignorant, and all anar-
chists are opposed 20 it, but
the common sense of the whole
countrv, especially the business
sense, sees the Importance of
such a force. In the argu
ment Wednesday some OF the
members were evidently under
the impression that a military
eneampment was simply fro
lie. 1t is far from it. The boys
in camp have TO work, and they
have to work and study hard.
1t is a veritabie school Of mil
itary science and duty in
camp, there are two or three
lectures a day by educated
military men, that in themselves
are worth to the state every
dollar she pays out by fitting
the officers who have them for
duty in case of war or serious
riots. The anarchists, as |
have stated, are opposed to the
military, both national and
state. This is natural. They
, don't want the mailed hand OF
the government to take them by
the throats, and squeeze their
very life out in case they start
in to destroy. tits amazinghow-
ever, to see sensible men oppos
ing the military. 1t is posi-
