To be Adopted by yJRpan-httitude OF tho
Country on Hawaiian Question.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 1o.-The
steamer Peru arrived to-day from Yo-
kohama via Hong Kong, with the fol-
lowing Japanese advices;
There is no doubt whatever that from
October next, Japan will have a gold
currency. A circular Issued by the spe-
Gle bank announces that from that date
1t will pay gold for Bank OF Japan notes.
The japanese papers are unanimous
In approving the princlpla of supposed
submission of the Hawaiian difficulty
TO arbitration. The Mainichi, COM
menting upon the annexation question,
says: "The reason why Japan made u
protest as soon as the signing of the
annexation treaty became known Is that
she has done so simply out of friend
ship so rs to make known her views In
the matter before diplomatic relations
are opened. From the reply OF the
United States secretary Of state TO
Japan's first protest is appears that the
determination OF America on the sub
jec; is very firm. The japanese govern
ment, however. has not relied on the at
tltude OF other countries from the out
set and this policy win be adhered to
to the last"
The japanese Gazette says that there
IS n feeling akin 10 panic at Kobe.
which II not soon checked will lead TO
serious results. Foreigners are becom-
Ing alarmed for their safety, encounters
with coolies are rife, and the spectacle
OF foreign blue jackets being pursued
by mob Of roughs is not reassuring.

GOV ArXINSOK's DENIAL.

Imposed Upon.

Hhpoatu upon
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O,-A letter
has been received by the local Federa-
tlon of Labor from Governor Atkinson,
ot West Virginia, in which he emphat-
ically denied that he ever made the
statements attributed 70 him and which
were made the basis OF n set OF reso-
lutions passed some time ago by the
federation denounclng him. He was
made to say that he would call out the
state troops, and that he had ammunl-
ton and guns ready for use In case the
miners Of West Virginia engaged In
riots. This was considered by the fed
Grafton to be previous and an intlma-
ton that the miners OF West Virginia
were lawless set, liable to Indulge in
riotous conduct.
Some of the delegates OF the fedora
tion have been searching the files of the
local papers for the alleged utteraRce.
but so far have been unable to find II,
ard they say 1t is possible the fedora
tlon was imposed upon in being led to

Contrary to the expectations of many,
the Republican state convention, which

clerk of the court of appeals was en-
tlrcly harmonious In It's work.
There was an idea In some quarters
that there would be n bitter fight be-
tween the Bradley and Hunter-Todd
factions, but the Eeneraiship of the
party leaders on and on the floor OF the
convention prevented the anticipated
clash. The state and national admin
lstratlona were endorsed. and civil ser.
vice was opposed along the lines laid
down by the recent Ohio Republican
convention. In other words. according
TO the Kentucky Republican view, civil

SHERMAN'S MEMOIRS.

{ This week we give Sherman's account
of the efforts he made to draw away
Georgia from the Southern Confederacy,
and most people will be astonished to
learn how nearly he came TO success.
Gov. Brown and his people were
heartily sick of the war, and wanted
peace. JEFF Davis became thoroughly
alarmed, and fastened to Georgia, with
a number of his prominent advisers, to
counteract the movement Sherman
also tells of the efforts he made to re-
lieye the misery of our prisoners con-
fined at Andersonyille, and the install
ment closes with an account of the
glorious little victory at Allatoona Pass,
which furnished the title for the popular
SONG, Hold the Fort, for am Coming. u
Next weeks installment will be of the
same high interest Sherman had sew.
eral alternatives presented to him
either TO attempt to follow Hood in the
raid the latter was making on his com.
munieations, or else leave Thomas to at
tend to Hood, and cutting loose from
the North and his base assume the In
tensely aggressive, make Georgia fee
the weight of the war, and again cut
the Southern Confederacy in two. Il
he did this, which of various point:
should he direct his army against? He
discusses these questions freely and fully
and gives the reasons which controlled
his decision.

PERSONAL.

Martha Ewing Martin has brought suit
against the Third Avenue Railroad Co. of New
York City for $4,000 damages for killing her
run down by car. and hurt so badly that he
died Jan. Jan. 20, 1896.
Mayor Strong has been anxious to get Gen.
Wager Swayne to accept the position of Police
Commissioner of New York, but the General
refused to allow his name to be considered.
Col. VIM. L. Kellogg. of the 9TH U. s., who
died ut Fort MCPHERSON, Ga, last Friday, was
born in Ohio. and appointed from that State in
the 10th U. S., Aug s. 1861. He served through
the war in that regiment, and became q Cap
tain in 1864. He was brevetted for Chanceilors-
vile and Gettysburg, and became Colonel OF
the 5th q. s., Jan. 80, 1885, He had been
seriously i'll for over year.
1t will be remembered that Col. Harry w.
Fuller. General Passenger Agent of the Chesa.
peake & Ohio Railroad, and rho served through
the war as gallant young Aid on the stats of
Sheridan and other Generals, was severely in
iured about two years ago in railroad smash up.
He has been so lame ever since as to be CON-
peiled to use crutches. He has had an opera
ton for the permanent cure of his lameness
at Providence Hospital, in this city, has under
gone the operation well. and it is now expected
that he will shortly DO out, with his lameness
completely cured. Comrades remember Col.
Fuller very pleasantly for the much that he
did to make delightful their visit to the Ma
tional Encampment at Louisville.
Mai. Frank A. Butts. late of the 47th N. Y,
member of Encampment No. 60, Union Vet
eran Legion, Washington, ID. C., has been APP

the rank of Brigadier General. on the staff OF
Gen. John p. Donahoe, National Commander
Of the Union Veteran Legion.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1897-04-22

We adopt somewhat unusual course
in calling attention to the announcement
Of Messrs Butts & Phillips which re-
appears in another column Of this issue.
Not only have they been successful as
practitioners, but their personal war
record gives an additional interest to
their career. The fact that they are
both veterans naturally had a bearing
upon the success they have achieved
professionally in the special line OF
practice to which they have devoted
their efforts. Both members of the firm
have had the advantage of long service
in responsible positions in the Pension
Bureau.
Maj. Butts organized and managed
the Army and Navy Survivors Division,
which has been officially described as
having enabled over 10000 claimants
to prove their cases before the Bureau
who otherwise would have failed, for
lack of evidence.
