A JAPANEsE ooNTENT1oN.
1t Narrowly Escaped Plunging Us Into an
Oriental War.


WASHINGTON. Aug. l0-In the event
of a war between Russia and Japan the
United States may find itself an unwill-
ing party, unless the Japanese retreat
from position which they assumed
towards the United States during the
progress OF the last war with China. 1t
is not generally known that just before
the declaration of the armistice which
preceded the signature of the treaty of
peace and issue had grown up between
the United States and Japan that threat
ened to lead to actual hostilities between
the two countries, and that hostile clash
was perhaps only averted by the conclu-
sion Of the Chinese war.
This issue arose through the assertion
by the Japanese authorities Of the right
of search of American vessels They in
sisted that they had the right to board an
American vessel, and If they chose to take
from her any Chinese or any enemy they
might find, even though they were but
passengers. Minister Dun very promptly
denied the existence of any such right on
the part of combabant and hot cor
respondenee ensued. The Japanese in
sistsd on their right, and even when Mr.,
Dun reminded them that the United
DbdOeB nhu gone TO war Wllu OIOap bAAe
ain on just this issue, and had forced the
abandonment of any claim to such Alright,
they refused to Abate their pretensions
one jot, though the minister intimated
that the first assertion of such right
would be regarded by the United States
asan unfriendly act, and therefore likely
TO lead TO war.
The matter progressed to that perilous
state that when Admiral Carpenter was
about to escort an American merchant
steamship out of japanese port, to pre-
vent her detention by the Japanese, the
latter, 1t is said, gave orders TO the shore
batteries at the mouth of the harbor to
fire upon the American naval vessels II
they attempted to do so. This fact came
out after the conclusion of the armistice,
which fortunately occurred at jRt this
point ia the negotiations, thereby pre-
venting an incident that would certainly
have led to war. The Japanese have
steadily clung to the same contention,
promising serious trouble in the event OF
another war in the east.

SATISFIED with DENBY.
Government officials Say He Is
Doing His Whole Duty.
HE Is BOTH VIGIIANT AND ACTIVE

A Japanese Contention That Nearly Pre-
oipitated War Between the United States
and Japan-Only the Declaration of an
Armistice Prevented.
WASHINGTON, Aug 10.--Minister DENLY
has been instructed by Acting Secretary
Adee to secure protection for American
citizens at Panyag, China q place about
forty miles from Foochow, where the
American mission is reported to have
been looted by the natives. No additional
outrages have been reported to the state
department.
The statement of Miss Mabel G. Hart
ford, one of the American missionaries at
Hwasang, regarding the outrages at that
station on the 1st inst. is regarded by the
officials at the state department as fully
vindicating their confidence in Minister
Denby's promptness and efficiency, de-
spite the criticisms that have been made
against him.
Saturday was the Sd inst, the second
day after the assault was committed, and
according to her story, the relief party
met them the next day, en- route to the
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1895-08-10

scene of the trouble. 1t is pointed out that,
owing to the meager means of oommuni-
cation existing in the province and the
equally poor facilities for transportation,
the relief party had made most excellent
progress more rapid even than might
naturally have been expected. That it
did so, these officials say, is proof addi-
tional to that furnished by the develop
ments in the matter of the outrages at
Chengfu some weeks ago that the minis
ter is especially vigilant and active in
looking after the interests of his country
mon in China, and protecting thom to the
utmost extent of the means within his
power.
Consul General Jernigan has taken a
great deal of interest in the recent trou-
bles, and has sent several dispatches to
the state department giving information
and making suggestions for the protec-
tion of Americans. 1t is the impression
among some officials that the consuls,
without being fully aware of the situa-
tion, have asked for troops from the war
ships where it would be impractlcable for
vessels to go.
The state department has not called
upon the navy for any ship or force to
land and proceed into the interior. Min
lister DENLY has authority to call upon
Admiral Carpenter for United States
forces, and under his instructions the
admiral is bound to furnish them. Both
state and navy departments believe that
the United States representatives on the
ground, clothed with ample powers, are
better able to act for the best than those
here in Washington.
Acting Secretary McAdoo said today
that he could give Admiral Carpenter no
instructions, especially as Minister DENLY
had not asked that anything be done. AS
to the suggestion that the admiral should
send force in boats, he said that the min
lister and admiral were better able to know
whether such a course was wise. 1t might
be q sacrifice of men to send them several
hundred miles into the interior. The
British government had more cause for
making a demonstration than the United
| States government, and yet no English
force had been sent to the scene of trouble.
Mr.. McAdoo said that an order from him
TO Admiral Carpenter might wholly in
terfere with plans or operations the COM
mander had in view or under way.

The Quiet Life.

God makes no mistakes, and
therefore retiring and uneventtul
lives are not to be lightly esteem
ed. Your life may not be lifted
by any sharp tragedy out of the
common level of existence, yet IN
your own appointed way you may
reach and partake of the highest
experiences of the soul.
Did you ever think of what lite
might hold, however lowly that
life might be? It may contain
childbood's happy protection,
loves young dream, the browning
bliss of reciprocal affection, the
delights of equal friendship, the
hope of the parental heart and
the. Gethsemane shadow Of grief
and pain. 1t may have leisure for
introspection and for the hallowed
solitude in which the loving spirit
communes with it's Redeemer.
Forty, fifty, seventy quiet years
may have very much more of
Heaven begun in their onward
passing than as many spent in the
rush and turbulent stir of the
worlds forefront of battle
There is a little fable which says
that primrose, growing away off
by itself in a shadowy corner of
the garden, became discontented
as it saw the other flowers in their
gay beds in the sunshine, and
begged to be removed into a more
beautiful and conspicuous place.
It's prayer was granted. The
gardener transplanted it to a more
snowy and sunny spot. 1t was
greatly pleased, but it's blossoms
were not near SO beautiful as be
fore. They were pale and dim.
The hot sun made them faint and
wither::
The lesson is on the surface-do
you need it explained?
Think of it, you who sigh for
the artists brush, the poets pen
or the singers sllvery voice.
The quiet life gives scope to the
highest ambition and calls forth
the steadiest energy. There is
room in it for self-sacrifice, for dig
nifty and for constant cultivation
of all that is good.
Sigh no longer for spheres that
seem wider and vocations that
seem nobler. What we are is of
more consequence than what we
do. Alexander was a COnqueror
but died slave; Napoleon estab-
lished an empire, but it went to
pieces; Jesus lived quiet life and
rules the worid.-T hornwell Haynes

We had the privilege of worship
ing witt, the Ocala Bap lists last
Sunday night The congregation

was truly inspiri g, Pastor J. E
Oates took for his text the 8 h
verse of the second Psalm.
ASK OF me, and l shall give
thee the heather for thine inheri-
tanc3, and the uttermost parts of
the earth for thy possession"
He said while there were many
things we did not know, yet there
were some things that we did
know, and one of the things that
we know is that this world is lost
1. We know this from the teach
ings of Gods word. 2. From his
tory, and 3. From experience.
Trls world has been given to
Christ. But he had to win it. He
could have won it by force, but he
chose To win it by love. Here the
preacher illustrated Gods love in
giving his son and the sons love
in dying for us He showed that
man was worth saving; that God
had pls ced al infinite value upon
him. Christ d'd not die for Shakes
peare as a e. mus, but as a man.
There are wonderful ssib lities
in man. He has the promise of
the life that now is and of that
which il to come. He showed the
folll of sinners turning away from
Christ md being forever lost. 1t

INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS.

The tendency of legislatures to at
tempt to regulate all manner of affairs
by law has just met with a setback in
Colorado. The supreme court of that
state has rendered a decision that ian
act to regulate the weighing of coal at
mines," etc, in 30 far as it attempts to
deprive persons of the right to fix by
contract the manner of ascertaining
compensation for mining coal, is in vio-
lation of constitutional United States
amendment IA, and of article =, section
% of the Colorado bill of rights, which
provides that mo person shall be de-
prived of life, liberty, or property with
out due process Of law" This appears
to be good law.
