THE FUTURE or JAPAN.

Minister KurinO Shows the Interest the
United States Should Have In 1t.
New YORK, April 29.-The Japanese
minister in Washington publishes in the
MAY number of the North American Re-
view, which will be issued tomorrow,
statement regarding the future of japan.
Mr.. Kurino acknowledges that sin the
past Japan has received from the United
States proof of spirit of altruism rare, if
not unique in the intercourse of ma
tions," but he points out that the interest
which Americans have hitherto taken in
the east has been in the main senti-
mental
He thinks there are signs that this is
now giving way to the distinct recogni-
ton of the fact that no western power has
greater or more vital concern in eastern
affairs than the United States.
Mr.. Kurino insists that the Japanese
are animated by the wish to show that
they are capable of triumphs in peace
as well~as war In fact the military af-
fairs of the country have been devel-
oped only as an Indispensable adjunct
to the national welfare.
Mr.. Kurino says the whole empire in
every department of labor and enter
prise has partaken of the forward
movement which began with Japan
emerging from the sleep of centuries.

ROUSES THE ENGINEERS.
Vanderbilt System to Consider Only Eff
ciency In Promotions.

Vanderbilt System to Consider Only Eff
ciency In Promotions.
CLEVELAND. O., April 20. - 1t is
rumored in railroad circles that a
rule will soon be put in
force on the railroads in the
Vanderbilt system, which in brief is that
hereafter officials when making promo :
tions among employees will consider only
efficiency.
1t is said that if the rule is adopted
it will meet with stubborn resistance by
the men
Chief Arthur, of the engineers broth
erhood, in discussing the matter said:
81 should think the enforcement of
such rule would be injurious to the
best interests of the company. Our con-
tracts with the railroads expressly pro-
vide that when all things are equal the
preference shall be given to the men
who have served the company longest.
If such rule is adopted the engineers
will, think, use every means to COM
bat it,
President Caldwell of the Nickel
Plate asserted when asked concerning
the matter, that he had not heard any
thing about it.

No More Money Forthcoming for Him at
the State Treasurer's Office.
Governor Morrill, does not propose to
allow John w. Breidenthal TO transact
the business of his office as bank COM
missioner if he can help it.
This morning Mr Breidenthal went to
the state auditors office with his ex-
pense account for the last thirty days,
which amounted to $6515.
Auditor Geo. E. Cole refused to issue
him a voucher for the amount, and said
he had been instructed by Governor Nor
rill not to audit any voucher for the
bank commissioner office for either ex-
penses or salary.
Mr.. Breidenthal was surprised, but left
his expense account with the auditor
and went to consult his attorney, David
Overmyer, about the matter.
When Mr.. C. S. Jobes was appointed
bank commissioner Mr.. Breidenthal
agreed to have his own salary stopped
pending a settlement of the dispute over
the office if the salaries of the deputies
and expenses of the office were allowed.
Mr.. Jobes said it would be all right, as
he would prefer to have the work of the
department kept up.
MT. Breidenthal will now force the
issue on his right to the office by bring
ing mandamus suit to compel the pay
ment of the expense account for his de-
partment

referred the matter to the attorney gen.

MANAeUA, Nicaragua, Via Galveston,
April 29.-The commander of the
Nicaraguan troops on the mainland OF
Nicaragua reported at o'clock this
morning that the British flag was still
floating over the public buildings OF
Corinto and that the port remained IN
possession of the British warships-
Among the Nicaraguan troops and
populace the greatest excitement pre-
walls, and the feeling against Great
Britain is increasing IN DIT
terness every hour. The Nj
caraguan troops are still massed
along the Paso Caballos and it is believed
they may open fire on the British should
the latter make an attempt to cross from
Coriuto to the mainland behind it.
Steps have been taken to destroy means
of communication with the interior
should such action be found necessary

mains under guard in view of the rioting
and stone throwing which have already
occurred and in anticipation of further
trouble.

persuade the latter to submit to Great
Britain, pleading in support of their ar
guments the fact that the United States
has determined to remain neutral, and
that Nicaragua is helpless when opposed
to such u power as Great Britain.
Although the Nicaraguan forces oppO-
site Corinto are in communication with
the capital, actual telegraphic communi-
cation with Corinto remains interrupted,
and it is thought likely there will be no
attempt to repair the telegraph lines 80
long as the British remain in possession
of the port
In spite of reports to the contrary, the
people of Nicaragua generally sustain
the government in the stand which it has
taken against Great Britain, and al
though in all probability Nicaragua may
eventually be compelled to pay the in
demnity demanded, it is believed that
the trade of Great Britain with Nicara-
qua and other Central American repub-
lies will suffer in consequence of the
action of the British feet at Corinto.
The British governor in command at
Corinto has charge of the custom house,
but as the Nicaraguan government has
declared the port clossd, it is difficult tC
see how he will be able to collect Gus
tom duties there

GERMANY TO CALL IT.
The international Monetary
Conference Says Mr.. Leech
Director of the Mint Under
Harrison.
CRISP Is FOR SILVER.
Speaker of the House Says He
Always Was
An Advocate for Free Coinage
of Silver.

NEW YORK, April 29-E o. Leech
director of the mint under President
Harrison, and now vice president of the
National Union bank of this city, said:
sit looks as if Germany would
call an international monetary con-
ference, and England has decided
to participate in it if called.
France and the states of the Latin
union which are burdened with large
quantities OF over-valued silver would
naturally take kindly to it. Congress
has already made provision for dele
gates to the conference and 1t follows as
a matter of course that this country will
be represented
81 believe if the great commercial
nations of the world should agree to coin
gold and silver at a uniform ratio the
value of silver would for long time be
maintained at approximately such coin
age ratio.
at is true that the silver agitation here
and the saturation of our currency with
silver money has done much toward
creating a sentiment in favor Of the gold
standard, but believe vast majority of
our people would favor International
bimetallism.N

TAXES AWAY UP
Illinois In Bad Way for the Coming Two
Years.

Years.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 29-Repre-
sentative Cochran made startling state
ment this afternoon in the house appro-
priations committee, which was sup
ported by Chairman Needles, to the
effect that the senate has already
passed appropriations which amount
to about $11,0O,0OO for the
next two years. This enormous sum
has caused Republicans generally to
take the alarm
This means $5,50O,00O year, or on a
basis of $800,000, 900 valuation in the
state. It means state tax of 20 cents
for the next two years. The present
state tax is 81 cents. This was reduced
from 90 cents. There have, it is true.
been several absolutely necessary ex-
traordinary appropriations this session,
such as the rebuilding of the burned
hospital for the insane at Anna and the
$254,00O deficit for the payment of the
militia for services, etc, during the dis
turbances of last year, but pairing is i'm
perative.
The Republicans of the house steering
committee are greatly exercised on ac-
count of the prospect of going before
the state next year with a state tax of 70
cents. Senator Palmer made one of his
campaigns on the state tax issue.

Mrs. Pack Going on Clle Lecture HAaLIOr10
in Few Weeks.
Mrs. Emma D. Pack, matron of the
Topeka insane asylum, will enter the
lecture field as soon as her time expires
at that institution.
The subject of Mrs. Packs lecture will
be the bright and Dark Sides of Insane
Asylums," or how they are conducted.
Mrs Pack says she will also present
bill to the next legislature asking for
better management of the insane asylpms
aud making it a penitentiary offeuse to
abuse insane patients. She says what
these Institutions need is kind and care
full officers, attendants and employees.
She says kind treatment is better for the
insane than medicine.
Mrs. Pack says the members of the
board of charities spend too little of
their time at these Institutions. and that
they do not know just how the unfor-
tunate people are cared for.
She says that the Kansas asylums need
an overhauling, and that the rules and
regulations should be amended and
made more strict,
Mrs. Packs book "In a Mad House"
which is now in the hands of a New
York publisher. is being held back in
order that it may contain one or two
chapters about the asylum investigation
now in progress.
