MAY FIGHT THE JAPANESE
They Insist Upon the Exploded Right
OF Search
Uncle Sam Corrected John Bull in This Error
Once but the Orientals Don't
Acquiescs

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-1n the event
Of war between Russia and Japan the
United States may find itself an unwll-
ling party unless Japan retreats from
position which she assumed toward the
United States during the progress OF the
last war with China. 1t is not generally
known that Just before the declaration OF
the armistioe which preceded the sigma
ture of the treaty of peace, an issue was
drawn up between the United States and
Japan that threatened to lead to actual
hostilites between the two countries, and
that q hostile clash was perhaps only
sverted by the conclusion OF the China
war. This issue arose through the asser-
ton By the japanese authorities OF the
right to search American vessels. They
insisted that they had the right to board
an American vessel, and if they chose to
take from her any Chinese or any enemies
they might find, even though they were
but passengers. Our minister promptly
denied the existence OF such right on the
part of combatant and hot correspond
ence fensued. The Japanese insisted on
their right and even when Mr.. Dun re-
minded them that the United States had
gone to war with Great Britain on just
this issue and forced the abandonment of
any claim to such right, they refused
to abate their pretensions one iot, though
the minister intmated that the first as
sertion of such right would be regarded
by the United States as an unfriendly
act, and therefore likely to lead to war.
The matter progressed to the perilous
state that when Admiral Carpenter was
about to escort an American merchant
ship out OF Japanese port to prevent
her detention by the japanese, the latter,
it is said. gave orders to the shore bat
teries at the mouth of the harboI to fire
upon the American naval vessel if they
attempted to do SO. This fact came out
after the conclusion of the armistice,
which fortunately occurred at Just this
point in the negotiations, thereby pre-
venting an incident that would certainly
have resulted in war; but the significant
point is that the Japanese have steadily
clung TO the same contention, promising
serious trouble in the event of another
war in the east

An Animal That Lays Eggs

One of the oldest of the many queer
and unique creatures that inhabit the
antipodean wilds is an animal about the
shape and size of the American raccoon.
He is not curiosity on account Of his
shape or size, or because he sembles
the coon and lives i'll Australia, where
all nature is topsy turvey, but because OF
q remarkable habit the female of has
species has of laying eggs and Matching
them after the manner of birds. This
queer egg-laying animal. the only
creature Of the kind on earth SO far as
biologists know. is called a. platy pus.
1t inhabits the deep forests OF the river
bottoms of both Australia ana New Zea-
land and, it is said. has many of the
characteristics which distinguish the
beaver tribe. The platypus is not com
mon animal even in its native haunts:
and it is yearly becoming sacarcer and
scarcer because of the war which the
natives wage against it on account of its
peculiar egg-laying habits. They have
a superstitious dread OF the harmless
little animal, because it's habits deviate
so widely from those generally noted i'll
covered, four footed creatures.

PRINCE CLAIMS THE BOYS
And Refuses the Princess Demand fol
Their Return
Princess Colonna Having Trouble With Her
Titled Lord Over Possession of
The Children

NEW YORK. Aug. "a World cable
from Rome says:
Princess Colonna. daughter Of Mrs.
John w. Mackay. is again having trouble
with her husband, Princess Colonna,
about her children. She is now at Cas-
tle-a-Mare. awaiting the decision OF the
Naples court.
Last April wnen the court at Naples
decided that Princess Colonna should
have legal separation and the custody
OF her children, the contract also stated
the Prince Colonna should have the two
boys for six weeks during the year.
Princess Colonna remained at Naples
from November. 1894, to June, 1895, when
Prince Colonna asked that the two boys
might have their six weeks visit with
him then. AS the princess was about
leaving Naples for Germany she readily
agreed and left her daughter, Blanca. in
tending to return to Naples July Is and
claim the boys. Upon her return to
Naples the boys went to see her and she
sent word to the prince that as she was
to leave in three days she would like to
have the children READY. The prince
then informed her that he would not give
the children up. lie took them to Sor-
renio, where they are now stopping.
The Princess Colonna has sent for her
daughter, who was with Mrs. Mackay near
Hamburg. and has again appealed to the
Naples court to give her the custody of
her two boys. Mrs. Macaky is at Ham,
burg. The Princess Colonna has taken
the Villa Margherita until the decision Of
the court is given. Prince Colonna
claims that under the decree of separa-
tioD it was six months instead of siX
weeks that his children should remain
with him.

PRESIDENT IVES DELAYED

plicatiOn
Receivers VIII Be Allowed q Hearing ~
to the Jurisdiction Of the Ap.
pointing Court

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. s9.-Brayton
Ives, president of the Northern Pacific
company, has not vet succeeded in get
ting an order from Judge Hanford of the
circuit court, compelling T. f. Oakes, H.
B. Payne and Henry Rouse to appear and
show cause why the order made in
October, 1885, appointing them receivers.
should not be removed.
Judge Hanford stated today that he
would have the receivers come into
court on August 22d and answer Ives ap-
plication to have them removed. The
merits of the case will not be gone into
until the court disposes OF a great guam
tity of preliminary work in connection
with the case.
1t is very likely that when the case is
called on August ODD the question will be
raised as to whether or not Judge Jenk-
ins Of Wisconsin had jurisdiction to ap-
point receivers. If Judge Hanford holds
in favor of Ives in that matter 1t may not
be necessary to go into the unlawful acts
of the receivers as charged in Ives petit
tion for their removal.
Before reading the order this forenoon
Judge Hanford heard briefly from Sena-
tor Spooner for the receivers and from
General Counsel Petit for the company
and President Ives.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9.-After an
unsuccessful effort to complete the jury
or the murder trial of Theodore Durrant
today, the district attorney brought up
the matter of Juror Brown, whose accept
ance as a Juror has occasioned SO mucn
criticism. In spite of the objections OF
the counsel for the defense the district
attorney was permitted to question
Brown regarding his qualifications 10
serve as juror. Brown stated tnat ne
had been a Juror in the United states
court and had served at the trial OF M.
d. Howell, charged with counSerfeiting.
At that trial Brown said the Jury stooa
seven to five for conviction on the hrst
ballot and although the jury was out
nine days, subsequent balloting brought
them no nearer a verdict. Brown admit
ted tnat he had been summoned before
the federal grand jury which was investi-
eating charges Of bribery in connection
with the Howell disagreement, put he
knew nothing OF any attempted bribery.
The court at this point allowed Brown
to make the personal statement which ne
has been carrying about with him ever
since his acceptability as a Juror has been
called in question. Brown stated that
reporters from the morning papers ha.
questioned him about the Howell ver-
dict. TO them he had made the same
statement as to the court. He said no
reporter had asked him anything about
the Durrant case nor had be made any
remark about it to anyone since he h al
been sworn as a juror. He pronounced
the alleged interview with him wholly
untrue.
The district attorney asked permission
to use a peremptory challenge on Juror
Brown, remarking that had he known
the facts now developed when Brown was
examined as uenireman, he never
would have accepted him as . juror. The
court took the motion under advisement
until Monday. The managing and city
editors Of the Examiner and the Cnron-
icle were in court today in answer to
citation, but nofrefereuce to them was
made by court or attorneys. The testi-
mony Of Juror Brown that the purpoi ted
newspaper interview in which he was
made to discuss questions concerning his
qualifications to serve on the Durrant
fury were false. still further compllca tes
the threatened contempt proceedings
against newspaper men.

Origin of the Jury Trial

A recent English writer on trial by
jury says it was derived from Normandy.
But it existed in Iceland from the earliest
times, where the Normans certainly did
not introduce it. AS the Icelanders and
the North 6axons were practically tho
same people, it is hardly open to question
that their primitive customs were as
nearly identical as their language.
