Correspondence of The Evening Star.

After these two interviews, upon the
4th Of June, Minister Shmamura sent to
Mr.. Cooper formal letter of seventy
eight pages, to which the latter has not
yet found time to prepare suitable reply.
This paper is largely occupied with expla-
nations and attempted Qualifications of the
first letter. 1t is thought to betray a strong
sense of having gone wrong. Commission
er Akiyama, whose hand is manifest in
both letters. is reputed to be diplomat
of more self-esteem than actual ability,
and has probably not distinguished him
self favorably in the present negotiation
This second paper also fails to contain any
request for this government to set forth
the grounds of their action, and according
~ Mr.. Cooper has still no proper op,ortun-
ity to make such systematic explanation
as he desires to do. This is where the
business now stands. The affair appears
to promise no speedy conclusion There is
much reason to surmse that the Japanese
diplomats will now proceed circumspectIy
both in the consciousness of having done
some laundering and in the evidence of an
United States.

Of all matters Of concern to the United
States. Upon any reference. however, to
any attention paid by Mr.. Sewall to or
controversy with Japan, an absolute reti-
cence is at once encountered, both in him
self and in our executive. This is so marked
as to promote the surmise that he has held
much and important conference with our
foreign office upon that subject. There is
good season, however, to believe that the
minister has not yet found occasion to
take any step of a specially significant or
sensational nature. Ii is quite suppoSahle
that, representing the United States,
Mr.. Sewalls attitude has served to add
confidence to the position taken by our

IT is now estimated from the ad-
vices received from the gold pro-
ducing section of the world, that the
gold output for 1897 will exceed that
for 1896, when it reached 1920, 600, 900
in round numbers, and exceeded the
production of any previous year. The
increase in the production of gold of
late years has been very marked, and
as much is now produced in a single
year, as was produced in decade in
the early part of the present century.
Those who have been sure that the
gold supply would not be sufficient
to meet the demand upon it are not
having their fears justified by the
course of events.

THE correspondent of one of the
London papers says that the Greek
troops are without competent COM
manders and consequently have been
very poorly handled. Had they had
good generalship he thinks that not
withstanding the fact that they were
met by superior numbers the result
on many occasions would have been
different. On the other hand, it is
asserted that the Turks have had the
advantage of the knowledge Of some
of the best military officers of Ger
many, and it is even asserted that
they were sent from the German
army by the order of the Kasier.
This may be true and it may not,
but certain it is that in this struggle,
Greece has had.the opposition of all
Europe, land that opposition may have
been moreactive than most suppose.

ORDER REVERSED.
The SupremeSCourt Hands Down q
Decision of Local Interest.

The Supreme Court yesterday rem
dered the followingIdecision:
George W. Mead, assignee of John O..
A, Marsh, appellant; VS.. Catherine Ran
dali and J. Fl. Block, respondents.
The mere act of proving secured de-
mand as a claim against the estate of
an insolvent does not work release or
surrender of the collateral security.
Where a party claiming under title
junior in point of time is resisting a
prior unrecorded title from the same
source the burden is upon him Cat least
where he is a party to the original in
strument creating such junior title) to
prove that he purchased or acquired
such title in good faith.
Rule applied where a judgment cred
itor claimed a lien on the real estate of
an insolvent debtor paramount to a
prior assignment by the debtor for the
benefit of creditors, on the ground that
the Judgment was docketed in the
county where the land was situated be-
fore the assignment was recorded in
that county.
Evidence considered and held insult
fcient in finding that the creditor had
no notice of the assignment when the
judgment was docketed. Order re-
versed. Mitchell. J.

Mankato Will Have Two First Class
Shows in July.

Mankato will have two circuses in
July. Barnum & Bailey will pitch
their tents here July 18th, and Ring
ling Bros. will be here July Sd. Both
days fall on Saturday, which is a
favorable day for large crowd.
Barnum & Bailey's first advertising
Car arrived in Mankato Tuesday
morning, and the force of
men worked leisurely at cover
ing some Of the bill boards all
day yesterday. Unbeknown to these
men, who had no idea that it was in
this part of the country, Ringing
Bros first advertising Car arrived
Tuesday night. Ringing Bros
men hired eight livery teams very
quietly and started out into the coun-
try in all directions early yesterday
morning and by night had all the bill
boards and old barns plastered with
flaming Autographs announcing that
the circus will appear in Man
kato July Bird. 1t was not
until this morning that Bar
nun & Bailey's men caught on to
what had been done, and there was
CONSERVATION in the ranks. They
hired another lot of teams and sent
out men to find such places as they
could to place their advertising paper.
Both sets of employees have been
busy today in placing advertisements
in every available place, and vacant
property has been leased for two
months and new boards contracted
for. Whichever show is best adver-
tised expects to get the crowd, and
Ringing Bros. have the advantage
of prior date and getting their
advertising paper in the country.
Barnum & Bailey secured the choice
Of the boards in the city. Both are
frst-class shows and should each draw
big crowd.
Each show has applied to City Re-
corder Brown for license, and each
will pay S75 into the city treasury.
Extensive contracts for feed and pro-
visions will also be made ia the city.
Barnum & Bailey have decided to
pitch their tents on the prairie near
North Front street, wnere the Wild
West exhibited last fall.

A PLEASANT EVENING.
The Entertainment Given by the Art
History Club a Gratifying Success.

The entertainment given by the Art
History Club last evening was a very
gratifying success from every stand
point, and those who attended were
loud in their praise of the views shown
as well as the very thorough and in
teresting descriptions given of the
pictures and the artists.
Miss Maidie Cleveland rendered a
selection on the piano, after which
Mrs. ON. Searles gave very vivid de-
scription of number of pictures rep
resenting the Florentine school of art.
Mrs. DR.. James followed, and as
each picture of the Venetian and
Roman schools was thrown upon the
canvass the lady gave detailed de-
scription, interesting and instructive.
Mrs. L. P Hunt took the twelve
great paintings of the world to de-
scribe as her part of the program, and
each subject was Interestingly re-
viewed and intelligently presented.
Mr.. Stoeffle, with Howard Treat as
accompanist, sang a solo, and was
warmly received. Prof. Cox operated
the slides and of course did his part
with his usual degree of perfectness.
The major portion of the audience
was composed of ladies, and they were
all expressive of appreciation of
what they saw and heard. The few
gentlemen present were not less ap-
preciative. The receipts were suffi-
cient to defray all expenses and in
this the club is wholly satisfied, as it
did not expect to do more. Such in
expensive, and at the same time in
structive, entertainments as the one
last nighG should be encouraged. Many
who were present have paid fifty
cents for much less worthy and
Mt eresting evenings pastime.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
recently perfected an ingenious cure
for dyspepsia. Their Digestive Cordial
consists of food already digested and
a digester of foods happily combined.
The importance of this invention
will be appreciated when we realize
what proportion of the community
are victims of some form of stomach
troubles. Thousands of pale, thin
people have little inclination to eat,
and what they do eat causes them
pain and distress.
This Digestive Cordial of the
Shakers corrects any stomach derange-
ment at once. 1t makes thin people
plump. Every one will be greatly in
terested to read the little book which
has been placed in the hands Of
druggists for free distribution.

While the election of teachers was
in progress, Mr.. Jones arose and made
some remarks directed to the re-
representatives. of the press present,
saying that some of the references in
their reports Of the board meetings
hitherto had been too pointed.
Motives instead of results were
discussed. He hoped that the present
would be considered an executive
session and that none of the remarks
bearing on the teachers would be
published.
The members of the press disclaim-
ed any intention to publish any of the
remarks made by members bearing on
the qualifications of teachers, and in
quired wherein the reports of pre-
vious meetings were open to criticism
as being too pointed.
Mr.. Jones said that his memory
could not bear him out as to partlcu-
lar instances, but he didn't think
that anything should be said in the
reports of the board meetings which
would tend to create dissension in
the wards from which the members
came.
The matter was dropped after few
good natured sallies on both sides.

likely that two room annex will be
decided upon. Numerous applications
for the positions of janitor have been
received.
