A VISIT FROM JAPAN.
Some of Her Warships Expected to
Visit California.

Some of Her Warships Expected to
Visit California.
San Francisco, June "a Private
letters received in this city state that
as soon as Japan's troubles in Formosa
shall have been settled, Admiral Ito
will be sent to San Francisco with the
Matsushima and two or three other
vessels of his famous feet. The Mat
sushima is single-masted cruiser of
about the tonnage of the Olympia, and,
as Admiral Ito's flagship, went through
hard fighting at the Yalu and off the
roadstead of Wei Hal Wei. One of her
probable consorts here is the Naniwa,
a sister ship Of the Charleston, which
began last summers hostilities in the
far East by sinking the transport Kow
Shing, with all on board.
The Japanese consul general in this
city says he has heard of the matter,
but cannot fix precise date for the
coming of his country's warships nor
verify the statement that Amdiral Ito
will command them. Owing to the
unsettled questions in the far East he
thought that Japan would not be able
to spare any of her fighting fleet during
the summer, but later in the year sew
eral ships nigh. come. Some of the
objects of the cruise would be to show
the sort of vessels that Japan has in
her modern navy, and to give their
men experience in long voyages.

THAT CHINESE LOAN
American Capitalists Are Ne.
gotiating to Secure It.
CHANCES ARE CONSIDERED GOOD
If They Do, It Will Result in Heavy
Shipments o. Silver and Re-
ceipts of q old.

Washington, June 24.-Offcials of
the Chinese legation say the American
capitalists who are negotiating in China
to secure loan of 200, 900, 900 taels,
which China is about to pay Japan, are
by no means urging vague or futile
suit, and that they stand quite as good
a chance of securing the loan as any
other money representatives Some
misapprehension has been occasioned
by statement that China closed her
loan in Paris. It is explained that this
loan is subordinate one of 10000, 900
taels to cover the surrender of the Liao
Tong peninsula. AS Russia and France
prevailed upon Japan to make the sur
render, thus yielding the permanent
occupancy of Port Arthur, these coun-
tries undertook to guarantee the loan
of 16, 900, 900 taels, which reimburses
Japan for this particular transaction.
But the mint indemnity of 200, 900, 900
teals carries no guarantee by Russia
and France, and it is this mint loan
which is still open and to which the
attention of American investors IS at
tracted. There is much interest and
speculation as to the result of the loan
if secured by American parties. It is
said that the first result would be the
shipment of an unprecedented amount
of silver. But as China's bonds are
payable in gold, the ultimate result
would be to bring back gold for the
silver paid to Japan. 1t is pointed
out also that interest on the entire loan
will not exceed SIS, 900, 900 annually, so
that the Chinese customs receipts of
$23, 100000 will readily meet interest
charges and provide sinking fund for
the redemption Of the bonds, which
will probably run for twenty years.

After Annette Island.

Port Townsend, Wash, June a.
An effort is being made to take from a
tribe of Indians called the Methlakaht-
las an island in Alaska, which in 1887
was ceded to them by the United States
government. The land is in South
eastern Alaska, and is known as An
nette island. The natives have inn
proved the land, erected public build
ings, churches, sawmills and titled the
soil. A few months ago prospectors
who are going up the coast had occasion
to land on the island for a few hours
rest, and one of them discovered gold
quartz ledge. The men Immediately
staked out claims and applied to the
government for mineral patents The
Indians entered a protest, which was
favorably considered by the depart
ment, and the miners have since taken
an appeal, and if money and influence
can overrule the Indians, mining opera
tions will be commenced.

An Appeal Has Been Taken to Test

San Francisco, June "a. - Tran

States circuit court Of appeals here
upon appeals which have been taken
from the Oregon circuit, from a decree
passed in one of the Union Pacific re-
ceivership suits, and pending in Ore

Utah Northern Railway Company prop
critics, extending from Wyoming to
Oregon, with branches through Utah,
Idaho and Montana. Receivers GER
tifcates it seems were ordered to issue
(although it is alleged the road was
earning more than sufficient to pay
operating expenses and maintenance)
to the amount of about $1,000, 900,
chargeable as lien upon the road, to
aid the American Loan & Trust Com
mortgages upon the properties. 2 ie
bondholders and stockholders of the
company holding bonds in both first
and second mortgages protested
against the issuance of certificates for
this purpose. 1t is to test the validity
of the receivers certificates issued, not
for maintenance, operation or repairs,
but purely to enable second mortgage
to pay interest on the first mortgage,
that the appeals are taken. Oliver
Ames, the second, and Samuel Carr, of
Boston, bring one appeal, and the Ore

way Company another. 1t is stated
that hearings cannot be had on appeals

JAPAN MAIL ADvicEs.
Much Dissatisfaction Still Expressed
With the Result of the War.

Much Dissatisfaction Still Expressed
With the Result of the War.
San Francisco, June 25.-The Coptic
brought advices from Toxic, under date
of June Z:
The japanese people continue to
manifest dissatisfaction with the re-
suits of the war, and are unwilling to
believe that the troubles are yet over.
Rumors of foreign interference in For
mosa were so frequent at the beginning
of this month that the government
thought it expedient to publish an off
cial statement of Frances determine
ton not to NEEDLE with the affairs of
that island. Notwithstanding the gen.
eral incredulity in Japan, it does not
seem probable that any difficulties will
be encouraged in that direction, ex-
cept those arising from the disposition
of the Chinese occupants to resist the
Japanese authority.
The attempt to set up republic
would be considered altogether ridicu-
lous by the new owners of the island
but for the evidence that the malcon-
tents are openly supported by high pro-
vincial officials in China and not few
of the court dignitaries in Peking.
Imperial DEGREES have undoubtedly been
issued instructing local authorities in
Formosa to vacate their posts and make
way for the conquerers, but no arrange
ments have been made for transport
ing the Chinese troops to the main
land, and messages have been sent to
the head Of the improvised republic as
suring them of sympathy and practical
aid in their efforts to prevent the jap
anese from taking peaceful possession.
Large sums of money have been con-
veyed to the self-created president,
Tang, and troops are promised him in
abundance, provided he can make a
stand against the forces of Governor
General Kakayama. OF this there is
not the slightest chance, and Tang's
only expectation is to win tho favor of
mis- sovereign by brief show OF def
ance, after which, trusting to the hab-
itual clemency of the Japanese, he
hopes to retire in a blaze Of fictitious
glory.
It may prove in this instance that
Gu0 pdGl0uc0 VI buo VACCOIS usas p0ou
strained too far. Japan is in no humor
to be trified with by China, however
necessary it may be to appear unrufhed
by the Sights of formidable European
powers. Mr.. Foster has strongly ex-
pressed his disapproval Of the proceed
ings in Formosa. He accompanied the
son of Lii Hung Chang to Tamsui, in
the harbor of which port the transfer
of authority was effected, June 2. The
business was transacted on board a
Japanese warship. Detachments of the
Japanese imperial guard was landed at
Tamsui and Keelung, before which the
Chinese retreated in disorder. A few
skirmishes are reported, but no fight
ing of a serious nature has yet occur
red.

THE EMANUEL CHURCH MURDER
Testimony of West, the Street, or Con-
ductor, Modified.

Testimony of West, the Street car Con-
ductor, Modified.
San Francisco, June 81. u. P.
West, street Car conductor, who gave
important testimony for the prosecu-
ton at the preliminary examination OF
Theodore Durrant, has weakened. He
informed the district attorney today
that he was mistaken in testifying that
Durrant and Blanche Lamont boarded
his car at Powell and Clay streets and
took seats inside his car, April 8. Tho
only correction he makes in his testi-
mony is that Durrant and Miss La
mont sat in front on the dummy, in
stead of inside the car. George King
and Miss Williams, he said, sat inside
the car.
The explanation is important, from
the fact that it explains a conflict Of
testimony between West and three
school girls, who testified positively
that they saw Durrant and Blanche La
mont riding together on the dummy
on the day in question. But while the
case of the prosecution is helped from
one point of view by Vests revision of
his own testimony, he will not be
called as witness when the trial be-
gins, from the fact that he has hereto
fore shown a disposition to be unreli-
able as witness. His testimony at
the preliminary examination differed
on material points from the testimony
he gave at the coroner's inquest.

Canada for Canadians.

Toronto, June 25.-A new party,
which may make radical change in
the government Of this country, has
been formed here under the title of the
Canadian National Association. Some
Of its objects are the fostering Of ma
tional sentiment, working for the re-
moval of the present system of dual
languages, and the abolition of separ-
ate schools, SO that there will be but
one official language and one system
of schools in Canada. Only Canadians
by birth are allowed to join the new
party and thousands Of applications
have already been received. Canada
for Canadians'' will be its motto.

THE TRADE RECOVERY.
A Favorable Weekly Report From the
Mercantile A gency,


New York, June 24.-R. g. Dun &
Co. s Weekly Review Of Trade says:
From all parts of the United States
the best advices obtainable tell of ris-
ing tide of trade and industry, which
threatens to mount too far and too fast.
The volume of all business is by no
means equal to that of 1892 as yet,
though in some important branches it
is larger than in any other year. The
influences of tremendous power con-
tributing to the rise are encouraging
crop news and confident replenishing
of stocks, which have for two years
been depleted to the utmost. Except
ing two heavy rains in Texas, crop re-
ports this week have been highly en-
couraging. Future injury to cotton
cannot be predicted, but as yet nothing
indicates anything below $500, 900
bales, which is not supposed to threaten
famine if the commercial and mill
stocks are remembered, now exceeding
by 100000 bales full consumption
until September. Receipts continue
small because consumption is close to
the maximum here and abroad, though
the marketing of British goods is not
entirely encouraging. Liberal pur-
chases of all products by the South do
not indicate belief that any serious mis-
fortune impends.
So the stronger trade in wheat-grow-
ing states accords with brighter crop
reports. Reports from spring wheat
states and from the Pacific coast are so
cheering that, although the loss of
winter wheat was large there, those
whose estimates have been most ac-
curate in recent years are now varying
in predictions from 43O, 900, 900 to
475, 5,000,0 bushels, against 6,006, ,232
last year, indicating no urgent demand
at current prices. There has been a
fall of cents in wheat, with heavier
sales than for three weeks.
The rush for supplies in iron and
steel resembles ''bear panic'' in the
stock market, because, while prices are
mounting, everybody hurries to buy.
Bessemer has reached $12.65 at Pitts
burg; the bar association has advanced
common to $12.75; the wire nail as
ISOLATION puts prices at $1.75 per keg;
the steel rail makers have raised the
price to So; Eastern and Southern fur
naces have both raised prices again so
cents per ton, and structural beams are
$I.35 and angles $1.25. 1t is undeni-
able that works in operation are
crowded with orders, and others who
have been idle for years are preparing
to resume. At the same time the most
potent cause of the upward start in
prices, the general belief that combi-
nation of coke producers would raise
the prices to 81. SO after July /, is ap-
parently removed by war among the
producers, and fall to $1.25 in con-
tracts for the last half of 1895.
Failures for the week have been 228
in the United States, against 214 last
year, and 81 in Canada, against 25 last
year.

Cash Prizes Tor Glass b Men.

New York, June 24.-It has been
decided to hold professional races at
the Manhattan beach bicycle track, and
$15, 900 will be given in purses to be
raced for on consecutive Saturdays,
from July 30 to September 15. This
action, it is believed, will have con-
siderable effect on the class B, as the
majority of racing men in this class are
anxious to ride for cash.
1t is intended to make the races in
events will be run in connection with
the professional events. It is also in
tended to seek the cooperation of the

Really an Attack ON the Burear

Cresco, Ia, June 25.-A motion for
a new trial in the case of Special Ex-
aminer E. F. Waite, of the pension de-
partment, convicted of intimidating a
witness in the celebrated Van Leiven
investigation, was denied today. The
penalty under the law is not over two
years in the penitentiary or $50 fine.
Waite asked the court to impose on
him the extreme penalty if the court
believed him guilty. His dignified
and feeling appeal brought tears to the
eyes of the spectators. The court fined
him $3.50. The case has been appealed.
1t is felt by the pension bureau that
the effort to convict Waite on the part
Of the state courts of Iowa is really
an attack on the bureau brought by the
friends of Van Leuven.

aid FOR Tile REBELS
Position of This Government
in the Cuban Trouble.
STRICT OBSERVANCE OF LAWS
Regarding tho Positive Neutrality
of the American People.


Washington, June 21. = Secretary
Olney has laid down the duty OF United
States citizens in the observance OF
strict neutrality between the Spanish
government and the Cuban insurgents,
not only touching armed assistance,
but also to render aid and encourage
ment in financial way. The occasion
for this exposition came i'll letter
from John +. Casey, of the Farmers &
Mechanics National bank, of Waco,
Tex, asking if it would be violation
of the neutrality laws for his bank to
act as depository for funds for tho
revolutionists. Mr.. Olney's reply
stated:
whether the bank or its officers
could be criminally prosecuted is a
question as to which opinions may
differ, and which can be satisfactorily
settled only by the adjudication of the
proper court. Should bank engage
in such transaction and, as you sug-
gest, publish its acceptance, OF such
trust to the world, it would be my duty
to call upon the department. of justice
to test the question whether or not the
proceedings was crime against the
United States. 1t might also be my
duty to suggest whether bank hold
ing United States charter does not
abuse its franchise and furnish ground
for its forfeiture by acts in aid OF hos
tilities against a nation with which
the United States is at peace.
'You ask me not merely as to your
technical legal ability, but also as to
your moral obligation, adding for we
are too loyal to our own country to
seek to overthrow in any sense her
laws I heartily commend the senti-
menst and am in position to say
your real duty in the premises does
not admit of the least question. 1t
has been expounded by no less an au-
thority than the supreme court of the
United States, in the following:
sThe intercourse of this country
with foreign nations and its policy in
regard to them are placed by the con-
stitution of the United States in the
hands of the government, and its de-
cisions upon their subjects are obliga-
tory ON every citizen of the Union.
He is bound to be at war With the ma
tion against which the war-making
power has declared war, and equally
bound to commit no act of hostility
against q nation with which the gov
ernment is on amity and friendship.
This principle is universally acknowl-
edged by the laws of nations. 1t lies
at the foundation Of all governments,
as there could be no social or peaceful
relations between the citizens of differ
ent countries without it. !"

oklahoma,s Gold Discoveries.

Kansas City, June 25.-A local pa
per prints the result of careful exam
ination made by staff correspondent
sent to investigate the reported gold
discoveries in Oklahoma. The many
sensational stories of wild excitement
in the territory are positively denied.
The gold field at present consists of an
area Of country covered with claim
stakes, and besides, there are few poor
farmers washing sand in home made
sluices. According to the correspond
ent the whole thing in nut shell is
this:
There is probably gold in the sand
underlying Boggy creek country, but it
will take several assays to determine
whether it is worth taking out. It will
take experienced prospectors to deter
mine where the sand is, and lots Of
money to collect the gold from the
sand. The country may develop great
field in time, but at present there is
nothing to get excited over.

The Pacific Mail Seeking Exemption.
New York, June 2l.-The Pacific
Mail Steamship Company has filed a
petition with Judge Brown, of the
United States district court, asking for
exemption from liability for all dam
ages occasioned by the wreck of the
Colima, and offers to surrender to the
court for the benefit of those having
claims against the company its interest
in the wrecked vessel and all freight
money earned in the last fatal voyage.
Samuel Fl. Lyman was today appointed
trustee to receive the transfer OF the in
terest and hold it for the benefit of
creditors who might prove claims. The
court issued an order commanding all
persons claiming damages by reason
of the wreck to present their claims to
Commissioner Thomas Alexander on or
before October next.
