A REPLY.
Secretary Sherman Sends an Answer
to Japan's NOte Concerning the
Annexation of Hawaii.

Washington, August 19.-SeCretary
Sherman has submitted TO the Jap
anese government an answer to Japan
last note relating to the annexation OF
Hawaii to the United States. The an
swer was delivered to Mr.. Hoshi, the
Japanese minister, last Saturday. 1t is
in reply to Japan's note of July 10,
which up TO that time had not been
acknowledged Mr. Sherman's answer
is marked by its friendly expression to-
ward Japan, which gives special salts
faction, in view of the somewhat
strained relations resulting from the
previous correspondence. Two feat
ures are brought out by the answer:
1t reiterates the position heretofore
taken by the Secretary of State as to
the right and propriety Of annexing
Hawaii to the United States. With this,
however is coupled an assurance that
the interests of Japan in Hawaii will
be fully safeguarded 1t also expresses
satisfaction at the plan of arbitration
between Japan and Hawaii, on the
question of Japanese immigration to
Hawaii.
The answer is largely an elaboration
OF Mr.. Shermans former letter, and
the policies expressed in no way differ
from those previously laid down by
him.

Pittsburg, Pa. August 19.-The
meeting OF the coal operators to-day
and tonight will bring about one or
two results. Either arbitration will set
tie the strike, or the mines will be
started with imported men. To-mor-
row will decide which course shall be
pursued. The operators are evidently
in favor of arbitration in preference
to a forcible opening of their mines.
This was evidenced to-day when
Messrs. Murray and Osborne, repre-
senting the meeting wired National
President Ratchford, at Columbus. ask
ing if Saturday next would be suitable
for a conference at Pittsburg OF both
sides.
The Rend and Robbins interests last
night telegraphed Ratchford asking
him 10 come to Pittsburg to try and
settle the strike. District President
Dolan followed the telegram 10 Colum-
bus and has been endeavoring by per-
sonal persuasion TO bring about such
a meeting. Dolan to-day telegraphed
that Ratchford was willing 10 confer,
but preferred not TO meet with the
Pittsburg operators only, but with an
Interstate representation. The tele-
gram sent by the meeting to-day in
sisted that Indiana and Illinois would
not consent TO a conference and IL now
remains with President Ratchford 70
say whether or not he will meet with
the Pittsburg operators and trust TO
others TO follow the decision there
made.
It is believed that conference will
be held here on Saturday, because just
after the session Of the operators had
adjourned. Col. Rend received a tele-
gram from his son, Joseph. who Is in
Columbus. saying: "Dolan says Sat-
urday will be selected for conference,
1S--~..--'iyy.-As'"ru ~ ii- i---is' "e''"iVi W
morrow
1t is inferred from this that Ratch-
ford has concluded TO attend the con-
ference
When Mr.. Dolan went to Columbus
last night he was given absolute au-
thority by Rend. Robbins and others to
arrange for unqualified arbitration,
and he has been working to this end all
day
Should the arbitration meeting not
be arranged for. It was decided by the
operators at their meeting tonight
that immediate preparations for start
ing their mines non-union shall be be-
gun. The meeting adjourned until to-
morrow morning TO give time for
Ratchford TO answer officially Should
Ratchford's reply he adverse. mines
will he started in a few days. Machine
mines will be selected for the initial
movement. as none OF the pick mine
owners care for hostilities 10 begin ~
their mines. From expressions used
by the operators tonight they are
more determined than ever to start
their mines, peaceably or otherwise.

REA TO The REGISTER.


Tuesday afternoon I visited
Camp O'Couneu. l then called on
the United States Marshals and
Marshal Stout asked me if l knew
whether marching was intlmida-
ton. / stated that I did not. He
said the question was being raised
and II the Court so ruled he would
notify me so that l might notify
the men IN camp. Instead the oper-
ators had the injunctions printed
in accordance with Judge Jack
sons ruling during the night.
They served them on the men al
so without notifying me according
TO promises made. 1 am satisfied
that the United States Marshals
are governed more by the dicta-
ton of the attorneys and operators
than by their own judgment. My
reason for the above statement is
that as soon as l was informed
that the men were arrested I tel
ephoned Marshal Randolph at Mon

the prisoners. He assured me I
could. When the train came in

would have as many as possible
put through at once. It was plain
" seen by Fleming's action that
wdid- not intend TO allow the poor
miners a chance 10 see friends or

notified me there would not have
been any cause for arrests. for We
have shown that we respect the
law, even though it be construed
to suit our opponents.
