JAPAN AND HAWAII.

Secretary ShermHn's Friendly Reply
to the Japanese Protest.
Washington, Aug 2O-Secretary Of
State Sherman has submitted to the
japanese government an answer to
Japan's last note relating to the an
nexation of Hawaii to the United
States. The answer 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 expressions toward Japan,
which give special satisfaction in view
Of the somewhat strained relations re-
sulting from the previous correspond
ence. Two features 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 as
surance that the interests Of Japan in
Hawaii will be fully safeguarded, II
also expresses satisfaction at the plan
Of arbitration between Japan and Ha-
wall on the question Of Japanese inn
migration to Hawaii.
The Japanese legation is reticent
over the secretary's letter, although
there Is no effort to conceal the satis-
faction felt over the friendly spirit dis
played throughout Mr., Sherman
answer. The attention Of the Toxic
government has been particularly di-
rected toward these expressions OF
good will.

tempted Assault.

Tramp shot Dead by Farmers For At
tempted Assault.
Chicago Aug. 20.-Shortly after noon
yesterday an unknown tramp attempt
ed to assault Mrs. Paulipa Fenske, the
wife of German farmer living I'm
Schiller Park, suburb Of Chicago, and
was shot to death by the enraged hus-
band and a posse Of farmers. After
dinner Mr.. Fenske left his home and
went to a farm about two miles dis
tant Soon after he left a strange man
walked into the house and asked Mrs.
FenslSe for something TO .eat. Seeing
Mrs. Fenske and her four children were
alone the tramp seized the woman,
striking her over the head with the
butt of this revolver. The terrified
children fled from the house and
alarmed the neighbors. A posse Of far
mers, headed by Mr.. Fenske, secured
weapons and hurried back just in time
to see Mrs. Fenske's assailant emerg-
ing from the house.
Then began a chase, amid fusillade
of shots on both sides, that led through
cornhelds and woods for half an hour.
Just as the tramp was going through
another cornfeld he was shot in the
back and fell, but empted his two re-
volvers at his pursuers as he lay on the
ground. They were unhurt, and sur
rounding him. literally riddled him
with bullets. No papers were found on
his body to indicate who he was. Mrs.
Fenske, being a muscular German wo-
man, was almost a match for her as
sailant, and received but a few bruises
in the struggle

IN the August Forum Gen. o. O.
Howard makes a strong plea for the
increase of the army; enough, at
least. to form the nucleus Of an army
in case of war. He raises the point
that our army at present is not large
enough to man the fortitications now
under way or projected and that it
should be increased so that it would
form a skeleton large enough to be
filed up quickly in case of war
which, in these days of fast steamers
and faster railway trains, comes
quickly, and the nation which in time
of peace prepares for war has the ad-
vantage which Napoleon referred to
when he said Providence was on the
side of the army which had the most
artillery.

Rcclnrncirr NYITh rrnnce.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Secretary of
State Sherman has acknowledged the
recent overture of the French gov
ernment, through Ambassador Pate
notre, for negotiating a reciprocity
treaty between the United States and
France under the reciprocity clause of
the new tariff law, and the secretary
adds an assurance that he hopes to
take up this important subject at an
early day. Careful investigation is be-
ing made of the status of trade be-
tween France and the United States
as a preliminary to negotiation. This
has developed that the reciprocity
clause will not permit an offer to
France of much reduction of duties.

slogan of the free silverites last year,

them and strengthens the contention
OF the Republican party that the low
price Of wheat was due to general
trade conditions, and we are now
profting by the smallness of the
crops elsewhere. The Democratic
party, however, does not yet realize
that silver is Il dead issue in politics

THE election of Miss Coughlin to
fill the vacancy in the local corps of
teachers, caused by the resignation
OF Miss Stack, is highly compliment
airy to Director Coughlin for the posi-
ton he assumed in prohibiting the
wholesale dismissal of Republican
teachers by the other seven Demo
cratic members of the Board. This
is emphasized in view of the fact that
the young lady received the votes Of
every member of the Board, an un-
usual procedure in that august body.
And for this they are to be com
mended.

Selling FOR Foreign Account ltObs the
Market of Its strength.
New York Aug 19--The stock market
today continued to show itself sensitive
to unfavorable influences to marked
degree. AT no time during the day did
the course of price indicate any agrees
siveness of strength. The liquidation at
times was quite heavy especially in the
International stocks and the grangers.
The principal factor I'm the situation
was the heavy selling for foreign ac-
count of wheat, sales for that account
being estimated at between 900 and
3.OO00OO for the day 1t was but natural
that the depression should be caused
by the disposition of foreigners to sell
back to us the wheat they have pur-
chased. This developed in the situation
guve the greatest aid to the professional
bears who have been working so per-
sistently for the reaction in the price
of stocks. They were also assisted by tho
