JAPAN SEEKS EUROPE'S AID.
Marquis Ito Trying to Arouse Scnti-

Marquis Ito Trying to Arouse Scnti-
ment Against Hawaiian Annexation.
A Paris special to the New York Herald
says:
The Figaro tomorrow will publish an
article bearing on the relations between
the United States and Japan. Its import
ance is heightened by the manifest indi-
cations II bears of being inspired" for
cnly those in the inner circle of Japanese
affairs could possibly have given our con-
temporary any idea of the object which
has caused the MARQUIS Ito to come to
Paris at this particular juncture. The
ticle is, in part, as follows:
Marquis Ito has been I'm Paris since
the day before yesterday. The astute
energetic and very amiable diplomatist
is now busy dealing with the delicate sit
uation created in Japan by the pretensions
of the United States In the matter of the
annexation of the Sandwich Islands. 1t
appears that he has come to Europe TO
protest most energetically in the name of
his government against what he calls an
usurpation big with dangers, and he 1e-
clares TO his friends that Japan, which
has had to struggle against greater difficult
ties at the time of war with China, Will
go on to the end with the United States.
I'VE must not therefore be surprised
If one of these days We have to announce
a rupture of the relations between these
two countries in the case the annexation
projects are maintained. This would not
probably mean a declaration OF war, but
IL would be the beginning of hostilities
more or less open, the result of which
would be harmful and which might have
in store surprises of all kinds. for 10000
japanese, almost all veteran soldiers, are
already living in the Hawaiian Islands.
and the natives of the country hardly num-
Der many.
The object of the Marquis Ito's jour-
ney Is to point out to Europe-rather too
absent-minded, according to him-the peril
of this annexation. to which this vigorous
Japanese people-which is still under the
spell of its victory-is opposed to the Ut

Wall Street Yesterday.

New York, May 1.-The only event OF
importance in the financial world lhis
week was the resumption of exports OF
specie This movement has been expected
nv all well-informed persons for some time
past, as il has been foreshadowed by the
falling off I'm exports of merchandise and
the extraordinary importsoft the same which
have been stimulated by prospective changes
iii the tariff 1t was not expected, how
ever, that the efflux OF gold would begin
much before the middle of the month.
For various reasons Europe is not willing
to wait until the exchange market here
warrants shipment of gold in settlement
Of international balances, but has seen fit
TO force the situation. The tendency of
foreign trade movements is indicated plenty
bv the statistics OF the custom-house at
this port. The imports of drygoods and
merchandise for the week Were valued at
S14,7S4, 900, while the exports Were
S6,522, 900, showing an excess of imports
for the week of $S,264,000. The custom
house returns for several weeks. past have
been of the same character as those just
noted with the excess of imports con-
stantly increasing. The situation is not
one that should cause anxiety, for the
transfer of money from one SIDE OF tiie
Atlantic to the other is simply the settle
ment OF international Indebtedness.
Today's stock market was an appropriate
ending to an aneXceedinglyd duilweek Bearlsh
operations on a small scale in Sugar Re-
filming, Western Union, C., B. e., and
Tennessee Coal and Iron, barely saved the
market from absolute stagnation.
The list, with few exceptions, closed
fractionalIy lower than yesterday, result
that is not surprising in view of the almost
absolute lack of interest displayed.

Chicago, May 1.-Deliveries on May con-
tracts were surprisingly light today; de-
hveries Of wheat were 90 900 bushels
Wheat was nervous and trade narrow. 1t
opened 1-Sa1-4 cents lower on large North
western receipts-the smallest weekly ex-
ports in five years-and the failure of
Liverpool cables to show the strength ex
pected. The crowd sold early, and then
bought in. This started bulge of 1 cent,
which was met by good selling. The buying
was scattered, and the attempts to realize
profits on early purchases sent prices
down 7-Se. There was q quick rally OF
1-2c on the Missouri crop report, making
the condition AZ, against ga last month
Northwestern receipts Were heavy. 435
cars, against $50 cars week ago, and
3O1 cars last year. Trading in corn and
oats was light.

Munyon's Static Machine at Work.

The possibilities of electricity, sclen-
tifically administered by educated ana
skilled specialists, with such machines as
Prof Munyon has had constructed. are
likely to exceed the belief or anticipation
of even those who have made 1t Ire
stuflv. and his Life Chamber is a wonder.
Indeed the work done by Prof. Munyon
and his electrical experts in Chicago, Bos-

belief, and as a result the Munyon offices
in those cities are packed TO the doors

The intense and disheartenipg dullness or
the last few days characterized the New
York stock market yesterday except that,
If possible, the flaJness and Improbable
ness was worse than usual, Many stocks
had no quotations whatever. the toeai
amount OF business done was very small
SO, ,446 shares in all. Prices closed OH
all over the board. There is no iEducement
to speculation in market like this. Even
the scalpers are deserting it,.
