RUSSIA is SATISFIED
The japanese Minister Does Not Expect
Any Trouble With the Gear.
n Reply Has Been Made RenOuncing
ing the Captured Battleships.

Minister Kurino and Secretary Matsui of
the Japanese legation are back from an
extensive summer tour to the watering
places through Canada. They found but
few of their countrymen located in Canada
only one Japanese living in the large city
OF Montreal, where he had been alone for
ten years. The official advices coming to
the legation at present are very meager,
as the close of the war has restored quiet
in Japan, and there are no evidences that
Japanese officials in Toxic expect trouble
with Russia.
1t is said that Russia's demand that the
LAO Tung PENINSULA be renounced was for

latter country, it is said. expressed entire
satisfaction with the answer. Under these

The Captured BattIcship.
Repairs have been completed On the big
Chinese battleship Chen Yuen, captured by
the Japanese at the battle of Wei Hal Wei
ard she is pronounced by the Japanese
naval experts as equal to new. This gives
Japan one of the most powerful ships
afoat, and the first battleship in her navy
Two more battleships and three cruisers
have been ordered in England and are al
ready well under way. These, with the
Chen Yuen and the present fleet of crIIis-
ers, will give Japan navy second to but
few Of the great powers. No word has
been received as to the progress in res
cung the Ting Yuen, sister ship to the
Chen Yuen, and it Is believed that she was
so badly injured as to be unavailable for
future use as first-class battleship.
The reports from Formosa indicate that
bands of Chinese soldiers are still resisting
the Japanese occupation of she island, but
this is being slowly but effectively crushed.

TRIED TO KILL TWO
James Smith, an Alleged Attempted
Murderer, Locked Up.
He Shot n Revolver at Augustus
Lyles and Policeman Peck
Pluckily Captured.

A little clump of trees on a hill a short
distance from Howard University came
near being the scene of a double murder
about noon today, and the alleged would
be murderer. who attempted to draw his
pistol on third person, is now in custody.
He Is young colored man, and Jas. Smith
Is the name he gave when arrested. He
said he was laborer and lived in Boston.
Smith was out in the woods with a
women, and when he saw a man named
Augustus Lyles he imagined he was being
followed by him. To this he objected, and
made known his objection by drawing from
his pocket a revolver and pulling the trig-
ger several times. Only once did the weap-
on fire, and the bullet went whizzing by
the intended victim. After this shot was
hred the colored man snapped his pistol
twice, but Lyles proved himself q good
sprinter, and soon got out of the others
way.
Shot at the Policeman Twice.
Policeman Peck, who was in the camp"
was attracted to the woods by the report
of the pistol and started in pursuit of the
shooter. The latter ran short distance
and then thinking he was about to be cap
tured. turned upon his pursuer and fired
at him. As in the other case the bullet
did not take effect and second effort was
made to kill the officer, but with the same
fortunate result.
flyally smith managed TO get out Ol tue
officers sight and get away. A small boy
who had Witnessed the occurrence, followed
the fugitive, and when he got near Sth
and T streets he met Policeman Yoe.
There's a man who shot at police
man," was the boys message to Yoe, and
without waiting for particulars the officer
started for him.
YOe's Action.
Smith probably intended to repeat his
actions in the woods, for he threw his
hand behind him. as if to draw a pistol,
when Policeman Yoe, with his pistol point
ed at the man, called to him:
Throw up your hands or I'll kill you"
Without giving Smith time to act. the
officer dealt him a stunning blow between
the eyes and knocked him to the ground.
Then he grabbed and disarmed him. Smith
then went quietly with the officer ana was
locked up on charges Of concealed weapons
and attempted murder. He gave his age
as twenty-one years. the police are now
locking for the woman who was with him,
as she is wanted as a witress. Tomorrow
morning the prisoner will be given hear
ing in the Police Court.

The Administration is Puzzling Over
the Situation.
PRESIDENT and SECY CARLISLE CONFER
Bothered to Know Where the
Funds Are Coming From.


The President and the Secretary of the
Treasury are giving good deal of consid-
Grafton to the selection of sources Of reve-
rue to recommend to Congress. 1t Is al
most hopeless task to deside upon any
recommendations for legislation on this
subject which there is any prospect Of the
republican Congress acting upon.
1t Is practically certain that the policy
of the administration will be not to seek
nor to accept relief through the custom
houses. 1t is understood that Mr. Cleve-
lard intends to stled by his proposition.
that tariff duties Afe still too high and
that In no case should there be an increase
except possibly on sugar.
Internal revenue taxes will be recon-
mended to make up the deficiency of treas
ury receipts. and there lies the probability
cured.
Internal Taxes.
1t is understood that there is decided
reluctance on the part of both the Presi-
dent and his Secretary to resort to an addi-
tional tax on beer, and it is not probable
that either party will take up that propo-
sition in Congress.
The recommendation of the President 1t
is believed. will be that tax be put on
domestic wines offered for sale. npon pro-
prietary medicines and cosmetics and upon
notes. checks, drafts. mortgages and all
sorts of papers used in financial transac-
tfons. 1t Is calculated that this would add
about twenty millions a year to the rev.
enue, and 1t is hoped that the income from
whisky will grow, SO as to make this
amount of new revenues sufficient.
About the only reliance of the treasury
for an increase of revenue without leg1sla-
ton is in whisky.
Tax on Whisky.
1t is calculated that this fall there will be
heavy withdrawal from bond, and that
from about September there will continue
to be heavy Withdrawals. If the most san
guine hopes should be realized the increase
would be about s15,00O,OO The Withdrawals
during the past year were about $1,000, QUO
short of normal, and the increase rate of
tax would add about s1O,OU0,00O at a nor
NAL withdrawal for consumption. The in
crease may not come anywhere near this
amount. 1t is maximum estimate. Yet 1t
Is about all there is in sight, or even in the
range of speculation, to give hope Of a
substantial reduction of the deficiency of
about $42,OOO.0OO.
Legisiative Chances.
There appears very little prospect of any
thing being accomplished through legisla-
ton. About the only thing that can be re-
lied on is the surplus cash which repre-
sents a part Of the new bonded debt. It is
calculated that this surplus of borrowed
money is sufficient to meet any deficiency
likely to occur in the receipts for two years,
and that at the present rate it would take
that long to completely bankrupt the treas
ury. So that If there is no legislative relief.
the treasury can get along for while on
borrowed money.

SWALLOWED GLASS.
1t Caused the Death Of Young Squire
Wilson.

Squire Wilson, thirteen-year-old colored
boy, died yesterday at the home of his par
ents, 2173 9th street northwest under cir
cumstances that caused his mother to think
that death was due TO poison. The boy was
taken sick Saturday last, and during his
suffering he stated that some one had given
him some beer to drink, and that it con-
tanned arsenic or strychnine.
The case was reported to the police, and
today DR.. L. w. GlaZ Zabrook, deputy coroner
made an autopsy. No trace of poison was
found but DIR. Glazebrook discovered per-
foration of the intest;nes, caused by piece
of glass, which is supposed to have been
swallowed by the boy while drinking the
beer. The perforation resulted in periro-
nitis from which death was due.
