Japan Can't Allow Annexation.

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 21.-Count
Okuna, foreign minister of Japan, says, ac-
cordipg to a Japan paper received here, re-
garding the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States: THE foreigners are not
surprised at the proposed annexation We
simply protested against it. The Importance
of the islands will be immensely increased
by the construction of the Nicaraguan
or Panama canal and it is absolutely neces-
sary therefore to leave the country indie
pendent. In voyaging to the far east
steamers starting from Europe or America
must call at Hawaii. To have them incor-
pOrated into the Union would seriously in
VolVe international interests in the Pacific
ocean. Another reason is this: Annexation
would impair the rights and privileges
which Japan is enjoying in Hawaii. The
protest was therefore entered on these
grounds Leaving aside the attitude Of
other powers the question is what Will
Japan do if under any circumstances the
annexation is carried into practice in spite
of the protest of Japan? Japan must OPP
pose it to the utmost. Annexation must not
be recognized
According to the Japanese paper Ko-
kumin Mr. Buck, the United States minis
maintain as pacific an attitude as possible
between Japan and the United States The
paper remarks THAT is as it should be
and 1t would be q great pity to interrupt
the friendly relations which have hitherto
prevailed between America and Japan,

CHICAGO LAWYER FAILS.
Schintzs Liabilities VIII Come Near
Reaching $75O,OOO.

CHICAGO, July 21-The failure of Theo-
dore Schintz lawyer, real-estate dealer
and private banker, takes on more seri-
Gus aspect as it is more thoroughly inves-
togated. 1t is now estimated that his LA
btlitieS will approach $4,000. The assets
have an approximate, value of 100000, but
they consist almost wholly of real estate
heavily incumbered. What makes the as
sgnment more distressing is that 5000 900

tanned from Germans and Bohemians in
poor circumstances who placed their saw
ings with him. receiving either mere re-
ceipts. in the form of certificates of depos-
it, or nothing more palpable than a verbal
promise to pay a certain rate of interest.

THE SALMON FISHERIES.
Cut in Price Results in Retaliation
Causing $125,OOO Loss.

ASTORIA, Ore, July 21.-There is trouble
among the salmon fisheries on the Column
bia river. A few days ago when the Gamers
decided to reduce the price of fish cents
a pound the fishermen accepted the cut
and gave the impression there would be
no trouble. But trouble of serious nature
has broken out. Late last night between
three hundred and five hundred armed men
sailed over Bakers bay, which is a veri-
table network of fish traps, destroying the
traps. Every one was rendered useless. The
work of destruction was carried out in plain
view from the shore, but no attempt was
made to stop them From reports property
valued at $4,000 was destroyed. 1t is said
to be the object of the men to remove all
the traps and force the Gamers to pay the
price asked. which is 5 cents.

Hopeful of Haughey's Pardon.

Srecal to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 2L-John Duncan,
of indianapolis, visited the President to-day
in the interest of Theodore p. Haughey,
whose pardon he is seeking. The President
heard Mr.. Duncans story and his argu-
ment, but made no promises. He said that
he would look carefully into the papers and
asked Mr. Duncan if he had called on the
attorney general. Mr.. Duncan said that he
had. After calling at the White House Mr..
Duncan made a second visit to the Depart
Mr.. Eckels, controller of the currency. He
left for nome this evening feeling that he
had made good progress and that there was
hope for Mr.. Haughey. Controller Eckels
who was bitterly opposed to the pardon Of
Frank Coffin, is rather in favor of the re-
lease of Mr.. HaugheY on account of his old
age and the belief that justice would not
be served by his longer Imprisonment.

Our baby boy was born July l. 1894. In the
fall his legs became rough, from some kin
trouble, from his knees down to his toes, also
his arms, breast, and abdomen. We tried
great many different kinds of remedies, but
without success. In the summer of 1895 it be-
came little better but in the fall, and all win
ter, il was a sight to behold. He had scales
on his body and arms like fish, and almost
black In fact we we're ashamed with it, but
could not help it. We were almost in despair
until we had used CUTICURA REMEDIES for
about four days, when we noticed an inns
provement. Every time my wife washed hims
her apron became covered with scale-liko
skin. To-day it is gone, his skin is as smooth
as any child, and we owe it, with the blessings
of God, to CUTICURA REMEDIES. If you can

RETURNS TO HAVANA.
Weyler Back and Action of United
States Criticised.

HAVANA, July q. - Captain General
Weyler arrived here this afternoon He
travelled from Cienfuegos by train to Las
Cruces and Sagua la Grande From the
latter place he proceeded to the coast
where he took the steamer Adela to Ha-
vana. The action of United States Sec
rotary of State Sherman in giving publicity
to his instructions to General Stewart l..
Woodford, the United States minister
to Spain, in the Ruiz case, is freely COM
mented on, and is regarded as a breach of
diplomatic usage and as being only sur
passed by the premature publication of the
report of Consul General Lee in the same
case.
The insurgents this morning destroyed
with dynamite the fine railroad bridge near
Madruga, in the province of Havana. Yes
terday fifty-siX officers and /, 1873 privates,
who were incapacitated for duty by rea-
son of illness or wounds, departed for
Spain. Members of the Red Cross Society
distributed money and clothing among them
prior to their departure.

a free fight ensued. The governments rep
resentative drew revolver. Finally the
entire company was elected from the hall
where the banquet was given, after which
they formed in groups and paraded the
streets shouting, Long live liberty"
Senior Moret Y. Prendergast's speech at
Saragossa on the Cuban question and in
denunciation of the policy of the govern
ment has made great sensation. The
Epoca says: THE frightful picture of Cuba
painted by the Liberal leader at Saragossa
can only be compared to the infiammatory
utterances of worst enemies of Spain We
believe that his insinuations against the
throne must permanently keep the Liberals
out of power owing to the increased
strength which such utterances give the
monarcnist in the eyes of the public"
Senior Canovas del Castillo the premier
states that the report of an alliance be-
tween Spain and Japan is incorrect The
most cordial relations exist between the
two powers, but the understanding does not

ment TO consider what reforms ought to be
introduced in Cuba"
1t is reported that the government is me-
gouatlng for the purchase of four large
war ships.
