BIER MAKES A CONFESSION.
RumOrs That Prominent Capitalists
Are Involved.

New Orleans. July SO.-The city has
been agog since Sunday over the confess
sion of Henry Bier. the convicted cap
italist To-day he was escorted by the
sheriff from his residence to the criminal
court building for the purpose of testi-
flying before the grand jury. Mr.. Bier
looked very pale and weary, but the off,
GERS say his appearance is much improved
over what it was when he was transferred
from the parish prison to his home. j. H.
Maurey president of the traction COM
pany, was before the grand jury nearly
all the morning. Bier was subjected to
a long examination, and at its conclusion
was returned to his home in charge Of
the sheriff. All sorts of rumors are afioat
as to indictments against prominent capi-
talists and others high up in the business
circles of New Orleans. Until the indict-
ments are presented in court, however,
it would manifestly be improper to men
ton names.

Among the reasons for the almost
uninterrupted success OF Japan in pros
Ccuting the present war with China is
the spirit Of sacrifice and generosity
exhibited by her people. Voluntary
contributions amounting to almost
fifteen million dollars have been re-
ccived by the government. The Bank
of the Nobility, which has given one
million dollars outright, has also
placed fifteen million dollars, interest
free, at the disposal of the authorities.
The noblemen and wealthy merchants
have been most patriotic, and n num-
Der of them have contributed more
than ono hundred thousand dollars
each. Victory under such conditions is
comparatively easy and certain. Public
spirit in China with reference to the
unfortunate conflict presents melan-
choly contrast. Unhappily for the
Chinese, the same spirit of Indifference
to use no stronger word-scems to
pervade q great part of the army and
navy. Admiral Ting himself had to re-
port that seven of his ships remained
concealed during the fight on the Yalu;
that several officers had to be court
martialed for cowardice, and that it
was deemed essential to behead Capt
Fong, who fled before the beginning Of
the battle.
