JAPAN'S RECENT PARTICULARS.
Rev. DIR. De Forest Writes About L
From SenIaf.

Rev. DIR. De Forest Writes About 1t
From SenLai.
BOSTON Mass, July Z4.-The American
board has received the following informa-
ton concerning the recent earthquake in
Japan from Rev. H. De Forest, D. D., in a
letter dated Sendai, June p, 1896:
II must send you line about the terrible
disaster that has happened near us-within
forty miles-news of which you will have
seen. The number of dead now reaches
10000, and the utterly destitute are twice
that number. We are collecting money as
rapidly as possible for relief, and several
missionaries will start at once to the dis
aster region. with the cordial approval of
the governor of this province, who has
praised us for what we are doing.
1T is happy thought that Japan in such
an emergency is ready and able to do well
for the distressed. Relief work was at once
organized, and money flows in not only from
the interior, but from the people. in gen.
erous quantities. Thirty years ago neigh
boring provinces would not have aided at
all. Now the nationDfeels it is a national
calamity. Men and women are of more
value than formerly, and the spirit of wide
kindness at work in Japan today is one of
the fruits of the Introduction of the religion
of Jesus

ANOTHER ORIENTAL LINE.

SEATTLE, WASH, July 24-Follo"ng
close in the wake of the Nippon fuzeh
Kaisha, which announced Seattle as 1ts
American terminus only few days ago.
comes the report to this city or another
oriental steamship line, the Togo Risen
Kaibushiki Kaisha. which is also seeking
American connections. The party consists
Of Soehira Asano. president OF the COM
pany; Ottawa, director in the OIL Paper
Company near Toxic; Fungiro Tomika,
captain in the service of the steamship
company, and Hiroyuki kobayashi, inter-
prefer for Mr.. Asano.
The visitors, who represent great wealth.
came to the city quietly, spent the day in
making an investigation and left for Ia
coma. Thence they go to Portland for one
day, thence to San Francisco; FROM me
latter point Asano will proceed to London
and place contracts for the construction of
twelve 5,UOO-ton vessels to be used on the
line which will run from the American
terminus to Toxic ard Hong Kong.
The result of the days investigation.
while nothing definite has been announced,
led to the belief that the terminus will be
either Seattle or Portland. 1t is thought
Asano has been negotiating both with the
DodWell people, operating the Northern
Pacific steamers out of Tacoma, and also
with the Samuels people, who run the Port
land Oriental Line. 1t was very clear to-
day that If Asano could secure control of
the Northern Pacific Steamship Company
on his visit to London, and thereby get
rates as favorable as those granted to the
Nippon Yuzen kaisha by the Great North
ern, ne would choose Seattle for the ter
minus. His examination of the harbor, To-
cation of the city and natural advantages
of this place was satisfactory. If the Port
land people can make better showing the
prize will undoubtedly fall to them. Mr..
Asano was shown about Seattle by Mr.. f.
II. Ammidown, president Of the Seattle
Power Company. His present visit is only
a preliminary one, and an agent of the new
steamship company will be sent here few
months hence to perfect the arrangements
now begun.

tainable.
Controller Eckeis arrived early this morn

been supposed that Mr. Eckels would be
the bearer of some sort Of message from
President Cleveland, but he emphatically
denied this.
Il have no message from President Cleve-

others. to assist in the movement, which l

divorce from Lena kirhham Iarde-Bulier,
formerly of San Francisco, was continued
before the Right Hon. Sir Francis Henry
Jeune today. The petitioner admitted that
he had written i letter to his wife IN June,
1893. III which he said
ITO think that my hand has brought all
this sorrow upon your head. God forgive

manner without cause. l have no reason

kind word against you. l ask your forgive
ness Lena. Lena, give me one more chance,

Mr.. Butler admitted that he was
writing TIE truth when he penned the fore
going sentences. He had requested a doctor
TO ascertain and certify Il his wife were
insane He had himself gone to Churston
Court to see his wife. He had taken
pane of glass out of the window in order TO
obtain ingress to the house. He had writ
ten to Lord Churston, his brother. to the
effect that he (the petitioner had been en-
tirely wrong in stating that his wife drank
to excess, and that therefore he retracted
the charge. He was not aware that ms
wife had been obliged to do the household
work for herself and children at Churston
Court. She, herself, had dismissed the
servants. He had never bruised nor hurt
his wife, except when acting In self-de1ense.
He had not ordered her out Oh the mousse
ror told her to go on the street.
On redirect examination Mr.. Yarde-buler

The financial plank was then accepted.
Mr.. Burkett made an Intellectual attempt

the government as contrary to the spirit

Platform Adopted.
This was reg lrded as a sQuint toward A.

Chairman Weaver said in this connection
that the platform was already three times
as long as it should be. The platform was
then adopted as a whole.
Two movements were Immediately inauS-
urated looking to the preservation OF M

Kearny of Texas and the other by Mr..
Coxey OF Ohio.
Mr.. Kearby stated his purpose to be to
offer substitute for the entire platform,

declaration against irredeemable paper

Some Of the members indicated their de-
sire to sign this report, and their names

Coxey did not propose to surrender his

Cardinal satolli. to Remain.

NEW YORK. JULY A.-The Freeman's
Journal has information from a trust
worthy source that the pope has given
Cardinal Satoli his choice of returning
to Rome or remaining, in America, and that
the apostolic delegate has elected to re-
main.
The report that the pope has offeSed
Cardi1 al Satolli the choice of returning to
Rome or remaining al his present post, and
that the latter course had been dA,.ded on,
is denied by Cardinal Satolli. 1t Is officially
stated that no advices as to a change in
plans have been received, and that it is
almost a certainty that Cardinal Satolli
will go back to Rome after the assembling
of the next consistory. when his success
sor will be announced. Monsignor Sba-
1etti, the cardinals close adviser and audi
tor of the legation, said today that the
cardinals stay in this country after the

Gent period had elapsed for the arrival of

A Wonderful Lamp.

The London correspondent of the Man.
chester Courier publishes a remarkable ac-
count of a new luminant which, If all that
is said of it. is true, will run both gas and
electric light very hard. For its production
no machinery is required save that con-
tanned in a portable lamp neither larger nor
heavier than is used with COLA Oil or paraf-
fin. This lamp. it is declared, generates its
own gas. The substance employed is at
present secret, jealousy guarded by some
inventive Italians. The cost is declared to
be at most one-fifth of that of ordinary
gas. and the resultant light is nearly as
bright as the electric light, and much whittier.
A single lamp floods large room with light.
The apparatus can be carried about as easily
as a candlestick, and seems both clean and
odorleSS.
