Washington. April 10. - The Evening
Star today published the following card
in reference to the charge Mrs. Flora
Adams Darling has made against Mrs.
Francis Xavier Spranger of having pois-

1.-THE absence of the accused lady on
her wedding trip in California imposes on
me the duty to caution the public to
place no confidence in the sensational
statements published in the morning pa

tanned by long and intimate relation to
the principal parties as attorney and con-
fidential advisor my judgment is that the
statements are as imaginary as anything
in Rider Haggard's novels.

The Star speaks of the charge as hav-
ing resulted from a family difficulty.
Mrs. Sprangers step-mother lives here.

Hooker, pastor of the church, conducted
the services, and Rev. w. Hayes, of the

all the people of this part of the country
were present to do honor to the memory
of the departed young lady. The edifice
could hold but a small portion of the
mourners. There were floral offerings
in profusion. the most conspicuous among
them being those of the Dillon Masonic

Yokohama, April 22.-Following is
the text Of The statement issued by the
Japanese government denying that 1t
concluded an offensive and defensive
alliance with China and declaring the
commercial advantages by Japan will
also be enjoyed by other powers. under
favored nation treatment:
"Misapprehensions are reported cur
rent in Europe regarding the terms OF
the Japan-China treaty. 1t has been
represented that Japan has secured a
instead of a duty and formed an Of
fensive and defensive alliance with
China. The commercial concessions OBJ
tanned by Japan beyond those already
secured by treaty powers under the
favored nation clause comprise the
right to navigate the Yang Use Kiang
to Chung King and also the Wung Sung
river and canals leading to 500 Chow
and Hang Chow, and the right to i'm
port machinery and certain goods duty
free and establish factories. These con-
cessions are not exclusive to Japan.
They naturally extend to European
powers in virtue of the favored nation
clause. In securing these privileges for
all, Japan expects the approval of all
powers. The reported offensive and de-
fensive alliance does not exist. An inn
perial proclamation just issued exhorts
the nation to moderation at the pres
ent juncture of the country's history.

THE A. R. U. Is AFTER HUNTINGTON
Instrumental in Securing the Arrest OF
the Magnate

instrumental in Securing the Arrest Of
the Magnate
San Francisco, April &c. p. Hunt
ington is mistaken as to the cause of his
arrest. 1t is not Frank M. Stone who
is after him, but the American Railway
Union. During the long and bitter trial
of the A. r.. u. strikers in this city for
violations of the interstate commerce
law, Frank M. Stone, a politician and
lawyer was called as a witness for the
prosecution. He had been a passenger
on a train stopped by the strikers and
his testimony was wanted by the gov
eminent to convict them. Attorney
Monteith. who defended the strikers,
cross-examined Stone and during that
examination elected the fact that Stone
had travelled on a pass. The pass was
an interstate one, but Stone said he had
never used ii outside of California.
After this testimony Monteith applied
for a warrant for the arrest of Hunt
ington, but it was refused by the act
ing United States district attorney.
Finally the federal grand jury indicted
Huntington and after the government
officials had waited in vain for the
railroad magnate to come west the war
rant was sent to New York TO be
served
