the gold standard Baltimore Sun is
something bran new in American
politics.

only the element of violence to make
it master-stroke as complete in sue

With all his legislative nominees in
the field, he coolly challenges the Sun
to take his place, elect them directly

pretensions of concern for the welfare

and the next strike was for restora-

in 'S7 and the result of the "a strike
was the acceptance of 40-cent rate.
In '95 a voluntary advance to Is cents

1t is interesting to note that upon
either side of Frostburg may be seen
traces of the old road laid out across
the mountains prior to l755 and i'm
proved by Gen. BraGdock in that year
with much labor and delay in order to
move his ponderous baggage train to
Fort Duquesne, which he was destined
never to reach. The main street in
Frostburg is part of the National road
built from Washington to Wheeling
about 1928 and still in good condition
in some places. From Cumberland to
Frostourg it is IN splendid condition
and is very much used.
Passing out of Frostb burg to the
eastward on the National road as one
reaches the outskirts the property of
the Consolidation coal company Is
again reached and a fine private road
gives access, across a splendid farm,
to the well-known Hoffman mine.
The scenery in this vicinity is very
pleasing. There is none of the desc
lation such as is to be seen in the

Damages May Be Asked
By Japan.
Matter Will be Settled Amicably
Arbitration Not Necessary.
Who Will Decide?

Mr.. Akiyama, who is here as
counsellor to the Japanese Legation,
fills the same important post for his
Government at Tokyo. He was here
in February last year, when on his
way home from ST. Petersburg, Rus
tended only during the 10 hours dur
ing which the steamer remained. 1t
is his intention to travel over the ISL
ands during his present visit
Mr.. Akiyama was educated at the
Imperial University, Tokyo, his spec
ial instruction being international law.
He has an excellent knowledge of the
English language, and converses more
fiuently than. the average tourist from
Asia. He is at present stopping at the
Hawaiian Hotel, and when seen yes
terday was very cordial in his treat
anent of a reporter for the Advertiser.
My stay here depends entirely upon
the wishes of my Government. and the
time it takes to finish the negotiations.
The impression seems to obtain that |
am here as a Commissioner, specially
appointed to conduct the investigation
for my Government. This is not the
case; I will act as counsel and assist
Minister Shimamura. The negotiations
will be in the form of an investiga-
ton into the causes which led to the
rejecting of a number of Japanese,
whom their Government permitted to
leave Japan.
Their cases were inquired into on
their return, and, / may say, investi-
gated, but, being without cable COM
munication, it was very difficult to get
all the points. But with the papers in
the case from that side, and what we
may get here, we think a proper un-
derstanding may be had. What my
particularly is the reason for the re-
lection of these people. We feel that
it is most unfortunate that it should
be necessary to come to a Government
that has always shown to be so friend
ly to Japan, but there was nothing else
to do. The Japanese at home are very
much excited over the affair, and it
was necessary to take the step.
THE negotiations will be conducted
in the most friendly manner. and, if it
is found that the action of Hawaii was
not according to international law.
there may be a claim presented by our
Government for exact damages. In the
event of the Hawaiian Government de-
Ginning to pay the damages, it will be
asked to give it's reasons. There will
be no arbitration. The matter must
be settled by the two Governments"

JAPANESE RUMORs DENIED.

England Has Not Opposed Ameri-
can Annexation of Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, April 9O.-There
has been no communication from the
British Government to the authorities
here concerning Hawaii, and the re-
port emanating from Japan that Great
Britain had expressed disapproval of
Hawaiian annexation to the United
States is denied by officials.
A similar denial is made by officials
of the Japanese Legation as to the
reports that negotiations had been
opened between Toxic and Washing
ton relating to Hawaii. The japanese
Foreign Office has gaZetted the promo
ton of the present Japanese Consul
General at Hawaii to the rank of Min
lister Resident. This gives him larger
authority in dealing with diplomatic
affairs between Japan and Hawaii, and
the Legation here has no further jur-
isdiction on the subject, except as 1t
may affect the relations of the United
States and Japan.

Stirs-Up san Franciscans.
WASHINGTON. April S0.-The Hawai-
ian reciprocity treaty fight is getting
hot. Senator Perkins is in dilemma
and seems to be greatly worried over
the matter. The interview with him
published exclusively in Thursdays Call
seems to have stirred up the San Fran
cisco people. He has received scores OF
kilograms from California, alludng to
the Calls Washington dispatch which
on the treaty. When seen at the Malt
by building this morning Senator Per-
kins said:
''rhe interview you sent has got me
into trouble
Was your position correctly stated?"
asked the correspondent.
"Oh, yes, l have no complaint to make,
but it raised a regular hornets nest
around my head"
Senator Perkins is between the devil
and the deep sea. Hugh Craig of the
Chamber of Commerce has written him
in effect:
You were honored with Senatorship
by California, and now demand that
you regard the wishes of California
people,"
The letter which Mr. Craig writes for
an some Senators might consider 1t Of
fensive. Senator Perkins showed it to
the Call correspondent.
Senator Perkins today received tele-
grams from friends in San Francisco,
saying that Mr.. Claus Spreckels is rath-
er inclined to believe that Senator Per-
kins should stand by the announcement
him, that he would vote to abrogate the
treaty.

WASHINGTON. April 3O.-News from
attitude regarding Hawaii has not caused
alarm TO this Government, although it
is admitted matters may become serI-
Gus through the state of feeling in Jap
an. Nothing was said on the subject at
the Cabinet meeting today, and careful
inquiry indicated no action had been
taken by either the Secretary of State or
Navy looking to the better protection of
American interests in the Islands.
Nothing has been heard by the State
Department from Japan as to the views
and attitude of the United States toward
Hawaii as indicated by sending the
cruiser Philadelphia to Honolulu after
permi ssiOn to land had been refused Jap
aneSe immigrants.
This Government believes there is
ings of the Japanese to bring about
peaceful settlement of the present diff
ficulty. Secretary Long said tonight the
assignment of the Philadelphia was made
because the President recognized that
the Hawaiian question was liable to at
tract the serious attention of the United
States in the event of trouble at Homo
lulu, and in view of the Importance of
peace in the Islands to the American
residents and their interests it was deem
there in addition to the Marion, now on
that station. These two ships, Long said,
will be retained at the Islands indeh-
nitely, but if found necessary to recall
sent out at once, in order to give the
United States two ships at Honolulu at
all times. Long does not believe a ne
cessity will arise to dispatch other yes
sells from Mare Island, but if it does,
he says there are several which can be
drawn upon at short notice.

point the duty 11a cents; from this to
100 is the same in the Dingley bill,

In no other way could the trust get
a chance to continue it's illicit gains
by differentiation, so this is their lat
est scheme. By it the low-grade sug-
ars of India, Java, Sumatra and China
will come into the United States at the
smallest possible duty. AS such sug-
ars are purchased often at ~ cents
per pound, this will afford to the trust
a net profit over the Dingley bill on
the basis of one-fifth of the imports
being low grade of some 81, 900, 900. At
70 degrees sugars which pay duty on
the basis Of valuation at 21a cents a
pound would have an immense advan-
tage over the 80 degrees sugar, which
would pay / cent duty, as against "
cent on the 79-degree test.
In addition to this a differential of
"A of 1 cent on refined sugars will be
continued in the bill as it comes from
the committee. It is now believed that
| the Republicans on the Finance Com
mittee will stand by Aldrich, who is
held responsible for this clause, while
five Democrats will oppose him, thus
| leaving the balance of power with
Jones. This balance of power has re-
suited in the Nevada Senator securing
practically all he wanted. First he
has secured an increase in lead rates,
| then a promise of better borax figures
and higher duties on wool. One cent
on citrus fruits, it is said, will be
given him, while rebate of SO per
cent on tin for export is another con-
cession to the Coast. He will vote for
the bill, though he will not stand with
the Republicans as to pushing the bill
| in the Senate without any chance for
consideration.
Senator White, who attended the
conference today, said he had not been
given a chance to see any of the sched-
ules. but he believed it would be found
that there were plenty of reductions
when finally it is reported. He believes
the bill will be given to the Senate by
June 10th.
A desire to avoid precipitating dis
cussions has kept from the bill any
change in the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty The Post tomorrow will say
definitely, on the authority of mem
bers of the subcommittee, that no
change will be made. Senators Frye,
Hale and Morgan served notice that

Ancient Boundary Line Must be

NEW YORK, April 3O.-The World s
special from Washington says: The
terms of peace which Turkey has Of
fered Greece reached the Washington Lee
cation today. They are as follows:
Restoration of the boundary fixed by
the treaty of 1881, which gave to Tur-

Sive Seacoast; evacuation by Greece of
Prevesa and other points in the prov
ince of Epirus; withdrawal of Greek
troops from Crete, and the acceptance
of the plan of autonomy offered the
island by the Porte; payment of a war
indemnity large enough to cover the eX-
pense of mobilzing the Turkish troops
The Porte's contention that, in view
of recent victories, Turkey is entitled to
claim the boundary of the treaty of 1881,
in addition to war indemnity, is re-
jected by the powers. The ambassadors
have plainly Given notice that Turkey
cannot extend her territory at the eX-

BILL IN DANGER.
Endless Discussions May Arise to
Block LegiSlaI ion.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Under the
Senate rules unlimited debate is allowed.
The Republicans will not have arbitrary
power over the tariff bill after it is re-
ported though they will be able to de-
feat Objectionable amendments and I'M
doubtedly have enough votes to pass it.
Their present embarrassment arises al
together from the fact that the Repub-
hcanS on the Finance Committee are in
the minority, and the attitude of Jones
of Nevada, Populist member, may have
a direct influence on the present fate of
the bill. Jones is now absent from Wash
ington, but 1t is understood he has
Joined the Democratic members of the
committee in demanding that the bill be
submitted to the full committee for
few weeks before being reported to the
Senate. AS Jones is a protectioniSt, it
is thought he will vote for the passage
of the bill, but there are certain matters
including a revocation of the Hawaiian
treaty, which he thinks will be better
treated in committee than after the bill
gets to the Senate.
