NOTED JAPANESE DEAD.
Count Mutsu, Minister OF Foreign Az
fairs During the Late War.

WASHINGTON Aug PA telegram
was received at the Japanese legation to-
day announcing the death of Count Mutsu,
administer of foreig affairs and japanese
minister to the United States in 1888. The
news was not unexpected. the count has
been ill with lung trouble for long time
and was compelled by ill-health to resign
his office about q year ago. His Illness re-
Gently took on an acute form. and his son,
who was at the time secretary of the lega-
ton here was called 10 his fathers bedside.
Count Mutsu was one Of the most distin-
guished men in the history of the new Jap
anese movement. and with the Marquis Ito
nodded the policy of the modern empire
and successfully carried the country
through the crisis of the Chinese war.
When the hostilities were over he was a
member of the peace convention and
framed the treaty which secured TO Japan
such great commercial and political advan-
tages. His services to his country were
equally marked in fostering the new party
movement that for several years prior to
the Chinese war made study of American
and European civilization and introduced
many reforms in Japan. II was due TO this
as much as to any ono other thing that
Japan in that war was able to meet her
huge but unorganiZed rival on more than
equal terms. Count Mutsu was well known
and we'll liked in Washington. where Ia

tors in the murder of 7. T. Johnson, near
Kendall on Saturday last. are still at large.
There Is no mistake about the murderouS
participation in this bloody affair of the
negro Wiley lynched on Sunday night.
There are SIX negroes In Jail here at the
present tine charged with being connected
with the murder of Mr.. Johnson. Two of
the number are thought to be innocent, but
the other four are believed to be guilty.
Great excitement prevails and il is difficult
to state what the outcome Will be. The
sheriff is securing the country for the ring
leaders with great determination and it is
thought they cannot escape.
Another dispatch from Risen says: 1t is
reported tonight that friends of the

TO BE RUN OUT OF CAMP
GAMBLERS AND WOMEN TO RE CON-
FRONTED WITH WINCHEsTERS.
Railway Officers VIII Attempt 80 stop
LawIessness at Unity-ChicIxen
ROosts Raidcd by Negroes.

PITTSBURG. Aug. 25.-The camp of
negro railroad laborers at Unity. near the
striking miners camp at Plum Creek,
which has a record for lawlessness un-
equaled in this State, is to be broken up.
During the past month there have been
several murders and a score or more shoot
ing scrapes at the camp in which many
of the negroes were injured. Last night
three men were shot and on Sunday one
man was killed and four dangerously
wounded. Yesterday was pay day at the
end of the tunnel and 1t also marked the
arrival of one hundred colored women of
the worst character at the negro camp.
With the advent of these women and lots
of bad liquor all records for lawlessness
and disorder at the camp were broken and
the widest excitement ensued. SO bad has
the situation now become that even the
railroad superintendent on the work are
afraid to enter camp. The railroad COM
pany has decided TO resort to extreme
measures to drive the gamblers and women
from the camps. To-day men were sent
through the camp to secure the names and
numbers of every man who is EMPLOYED on
the railroad Tomorrow the company will
march q strong guard of heavily armed
men into the camps and drive out all the
women and gamblers at the muzzles of
Winchesters This done dead line will be
drawn about the camp and they will not
be permitted to return. The whole neigh
borhood al Unity is in a state of terror
ism. The farmers dare not walk the roads
unless heavily armed and then only by
twos and threes. Farmer Hirsch, on whose
lands the strikers encamped said that
when the negro camp at Unity was started
he had over four hundred chickens; now
he has only sixty remaining and he has to
watch them day and night. The farmers
are Infatuated at the outrages committed
upon them and they will hold d meeting
at Camp Isolation Friday night to de-
eide upon taking a determined course OF ac-
ton to drive the negroes away.

Restricting the Saloons.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GIEENCASTLE Ind Aug 25-The
Greencastle City Council last evening, after
a elaboration of several weeks, passed an
ordinance which restricts the location of
all saloons in the city to the business por-
ton. Petitions are before the County Com
missioners at their coming term for license
in both the north and south ends of the
city. These are suburban portions, but
there are number of business houses in
each end of the city. An ordinance pre-
pared several weeks ago, and which was
presented TO the Council was referred to
a committee. 1t provided for the removal
of all screens and Instructions to saloon
doors and windows at all legal hours, but
the committee made no report and. the new
ordinance is in the nature of a compromise.
All the Republicans present voted for the
measure, but the one Democratic member
voted against the restricting ordinance.
There may be test case made in the
courts, as one saloon, located at the cross
ing of the Big Four and Monon railways,
has been landmark there for twenty
years. The ordinance is presented under
the Moore law
