NO FNrANGLrNG ALLIANCE.

Mr. Kurino, the japanese minister to the
United States, in a recent interview,
gave it as his personal opinion, one not in
the least inspired by his government, that
it would be advisable for this country to
join Great BritaiS inan alliance which would
offset that OF Russia, Germany and France
He called attention TO the fact that the
trade OF the United States with Japan,
next to that OF Great Britain, is more i'm
portant than any other nations, and, there
fore, this country ought to take
natural interest in seeing that no undue
pressure, much less hostile intervention, was
practiced toward Japan by the three allied
powers
With all due respect to the japanese
minister, the United States should do moth
ing OF the sort On the contrary, it oughtto
steer clear OF all eniangling alliances, of
anything and everything, that might in
volve it in a conflict that does not
volve its hoH>s and its dignity. In the
case Of trouble arising between any of the
four European powers above named aud
Japan, the United States will, to the best Of
its ability and with all the means at its com
mand, protect its commerce and American
interests in Japan Beyond this it should
not, and probably viii not, go.
At the same time, being on amicable
terms, not only with Japan, but also with
each and all OF the four great European
powers, the United States would be in an
excellent position TO tender its intemedia-
tion for the removal of any cause of couten-
tim and restore that peace aud good feel
ing which, between nations, as Wen as in
dividuals, best promotes teshappinessand pros

POLICY-H HOLDERS MUST PAY
Beneficial Endowment Association
Receivers Ready to Wind Up.
They Ask the Court to Enlarge Their Powers
as Regards the Receiving of Duos
and Other Matters.

The Washington Beneficial Endowment
Association has come TO the last stage OF
its existence. Its three thousand policy
holders will probably be given notice in few
days TO settle accounts, all money Will be
collected, all property sold, distribution
made, books closed So will end a widely
known institution.
Messrs. T NJ Fields and Andrew A.
Lipsocmb, receivers for the business, have
been merely custodians OF the property
without power 10 receive payments on
certificates, even if offered. They Yesterday
filed report in which they ask the court
TO enlarge their powers so that the business
may be wound up. They take this action
in behalf Of the certificate holders and
believe the conditions are opportune for a
final settlement
They state in the report that they have
500 900 due on certificates, in attih ion
to $50 GOO worth or more OF real estate
and personality, including the handsome
building No. 4l9 Tenth street northwest
where the receivers offices stilI are
Some OF the dues, however, are Oh certifi-
Gates. three and four years in arrears
They ask that permission be given them
10 send thirty-day notices to all certifi-
cate holders, directing them TO pay up
their dues. If this payment is not made
within the thirty days they want the
authority TO drop from the books all who
persist in remaining in default. These
persons VIII then be debarred from all
benefits from the assets OF the association.
The report says very little progress has
been made IN settling the affairs OF the
association. This is due TO lack OF power
with the receivers. While many certfi-
cate holder. sTe greatly III arrears, others
have paid up in full to the time of the trans
fer 10 the Commercial Alliance Life In
surance Company of New York in August
last. Those i'll arrears are coming in
with claims, Just as if they had paid, and
that thirty days notice to pay up would
cause many or these claims to drop off
and relieve the receivers of many items OF
accounting and litigation.
The receivers have not obtained enough
cash from the real estate and other sources
to pay the expenses Of the management
They ask that proper allowance be made
for Office expenses and cost OF litigation.
The Commercial Alliance Company is
now making proposition TO accept the
81 600 which they paid o the stockholders
OF the Beneficial Endowment at the time
of the trade last August, and in return re-
lease all claims upon the Washington organ
ization's property.
1t is understood that many of the policy
holders object to this on the ground that
the refund should be made by the stock
holders and not taken fGom the association
assets, as proposed.

READ HIS LETTER BELOW.

Washington, D. c., March 16, 1895.
Dear DR.. Shade: When 1 placed my wife
under your treatment six months ago l
little dreamed that cure would be the re-
suit, my wife's father, brother and sister
having died OF the dread disease, CoDsump-
ton. You can readily imagine we had no
hope, especially after she was given up by
two Washington Specialists. Encouraged,
however, by interviews with people whom
you had cured, resulted in trial of your
Chloridum Treatment. You have advised
me to have her lungs examined to test the
cure, which has been done by our old family
physician, who first diagnosed tubercu-
losis nearly two years ago. He now pro-
nouDces the cure complete. If any are in
elined to be skeptical, as 1 was, send them
to my wife. She will dispel any doubt that
may linger in their minds. II you feel SO
disposed, use this letter.

WITHOUT BAIL

Durant Held to Answer Before the Superior
 Court.
 San Francisco, May 2.-Judge Colan this morning held Theodore Durant to answer before the superior court with out bail for the murder of Minnie Will Hams.
 In holding Durant, Judge Conlan said:
 When this crime-one of the most shocking murders ever committed-was brought to light a wave of horror swept over the community and the land. Never before. to the knowledge of this court, has such horror been uncovered Jack the Ripper's crimes can hardly be compared with these. His crimes had for their victims women of bad charac- ter, and they were committed in a shady quarter of London. But this crime was committed right here in a respectable quarter of city, in a sacred edifice and the victim was good and pure young creature. A complete chain surrounds Durant. Not only that, but to cap the whole matter, property of the girl was found in the pocket of the defendants s overcoat. There is sufficient evidence to send him to jury to determine his guilt or innocence"

The Silver Men Call a Convention to Meet
 in Memphis.
 Memphis May 2.-The Central Bimetal- lie league of Tennessee was perfected this afternoon and movement set on foot to call free silver convention to meet in Memphis June Il and 12. An address has been prepared that will be circulated throughout the southern, western and Pacific coast states, from which it is de- sired that delegates shall come. In the preamble to the resolution fixing the date and call for the conference the bimetal- lists say:
 "The enemies of silver have made ex- tensive arrangements for a convention to assemble in this city May 23, under the delusive and misleading pretense to pro tect and uphold what they are pleased to determine sound money. To meet and counteract asl far as possible the effect of this movement it has been determined in a public meeting of the advocates of sil- yer at Memphis to call a convention of representatives from all the states of the Mississippi valley, the west and the Pacific coast to formulate and give di- rection to the overwhelming sentiment which is now declaring for free silver at a ratio of 16 to l."
 All senators and congressman from these states will be invited. In addition to the calling of this convention the bi- metallists today decided to have Ex-Con- gressman Bryan of Nebraska speak in Memphis May "A, the day following the sound money convention. He will speak at Jackson the preceding evening. The silver advocates hope that his speech here will have the effect of counteracting the influence of the sound money conven- ton locally.
