Tennis at LonRwood.

Boston, July 2e.-The tennis rourn-
ament opened at Longwood today. All
but two of the forty odd players turned
up during the day and played their
matches.
Each of the English players won his
match. caves having the easiest time,
while Nesbit had to work hard. The
former allowed his opponent, Ever, just
one game. Nesbit had his hands full
with G. w. Lee, an old reliable Long
wood player. Mahoney, perhaps the
best of the three, had by no means an
easy thing with Williston, another Long
wood man, and at one time the English
man showed signs of going to pieces. 1t
is hardly likely that Eaves will have a
chance to show his real game before
Wednesday, when he will probably meet
the winner of the Nesbit- Weight match.
Finke played two hard matches and won
both while c. R. Budlong of Providence
defeated II. E.. Avery Of Detroit in
straight sets.
Larned had little difficulty in keeping
his place in the tournament and Geo.
Wrenn, brother of the champion, was
also a winner in his two matches.

PROBABLY KILLED IN FIGHT.
Explanation of Death of Man Found II
Piscataqna at Eliot.

South Berwick, July 26.-The body of
man which was found in the Piscata-
qua river, Eliot, has been identified as
that of Thomas Parks of Cambridge,
Mass, and brother of Patrolman Parks
of that city.
1t is not known how Parks met his
death, and the authorities are investigat.
ing. The body was found about 200
yards from Rayitt's brick yard at Eliot,
by Capt. f. j. Hutchins of the barge
Eliot.
This forenoon Coroner f. G. Ham held
an inquest. True S. Goodwin, a farmer
of South Berwick, identified the body as
that of Parks, a man who had been en-
ployed by him as laborer since last
spring. He was drinking Sunday and
was discharged by Mr.. Goodwin.
Several bruises were found on the body
and head. One eye had been blackened,
and the general appearance indicated that
Parks had been in a fight. No money
except a cent was found in the pockets,
although he had 50 or $6 when he left the
Goodwin farm.
The coroner does not think Parks COM
mitted suicide. Death was either acct
dental or else he got into fight near the
Eliot bridge, in which locality are sew
eral road houses, and was knocked into
the river An investigation is in pro-
gress.
Two brother-in-l laws of Parks came on
the $50 train and at once went to the
undertakers. They described personal
peculiarities of Parks which tally exactly
with those on the dead man. But the
two men would not give their names to
either the police or the undertaken.
their objection being based on desire to
avoid newspaper notoriety They were
rather inclined to believe the body was
not that of Parks. They said that the
last they heard of their brother-in-law
was three weeks ago when he was at Kit
tery at work on bridge. The men left
for Kittery to see if they could trace
Parks movements. The town authorities
however. are certain that the dead man
is Parks.
Cambridge, Mass, July 26.-Thomas
Parks. whose body was found yesterday
at Eliot, Me-, was sister to Mrs. Ferdi
nand Poitast, and a cousin to Josenb
Parks, special officer, living here. The
latter and Mrs. Parks left for Maine at
noon today.

Without pausing to consider the analogy
in,many essential particulars between the
principle thus announced by the United
States in 1886, and that now maintained
by Japan, have the honor to state that
If the United States government attach to
the expression vested rights the same
significance given in Mr.. Bayard's note
to "well established rights" the Imperial
government would have little to complain
Of under this head.
But the absolute extinction of Japan's
treaties and conventions without even the
formality of previous notice creates very
different situation, not alone by removing
conventional privileges and exceptions,
but also by substituting therefore new
and burdensome changes.
In that case the application Of the
United States customs laws to Hawaii
would check the further development OF
Japanese trade; the extension of the
United States naturalization and immi-
grafton laws, would be detrimental to
the future residential and industrial
rights of Japanese subjects and the en-
forcement of United States navigation
laws, making the carrying trade between
this country and Hawaii a part of tho
coastwise trade and would probably prove
fatal to the interests of Japanese steam
ship lines crossing the Pacific to the
United States. sa

depend in no small measure upon 1t, and
hence it must be acknowledged that the
concern which the Japanese government
feels in the maintenance of the rights
that underlfe the welfare of Japanese sub
jects in Hawaii and the prosperity of
Japanese commerce in the Pacific is both
legitimate and commendable
In the note under reply you intimate
"That vested rights, il any be abolished,

Hawaii" will be respected. AS germane
to his branch of the subject, I have the
honor to call your attention to note adj
dressed on March 4, 1888, by your honor
able predecessor, Mr.. Bayard, to Mr.. Won
Albensleden, then German minister to
the United States, in reply to the official
announcement of the protectorate estab-
lished by Germany over certain groups in
the Pacific.
Referring to the declaration made on
behalf Of the German government that
"well established rights of third parties
were to be respected, Mr.. Bayard replied
that In the absence Of precise knowledge
as to the meaning intended to be given to
the term "well established rights he
believed that he interpreted it rightly as
declaration that American citizens who
already had established or might hereafter
establish themselves on the islands in

natives and on footing of perfect equal

nationalities, would not be disturbed in
