TO SECURE JAPAN'S CLAIM
Report of Intended Seizure Of Steamer En-.
press of China.
This Vessel FlOated the Hawaiian
Flag in Anticipation of Annexa-
tiOn to United States.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, September %
According to advices brought by the
steamer Empress of China. there is a re-
port in Japan to the effect that the Pa
cific Mail steamship City of China may be
seized to secure the mikado's claim against
the Hawaiian government.
The vessel is now under the Hawaiian
flag. and in case of annexation would sail
under the American flag and be entitled to
subsidies for carrying the mails.
The Japan Mail, commenting on the pros
poets of japanese seizure of the ship, says
that the claims against Hawaii will soon
be settled by arbitration, and that the
islands Will probably be able to pay any
award granted to Japan.
The possibility of an alliance between
China and Japan is being talked of by mil
itary men.
Capt. Kurooka of the Japanese warship
Naniwa stated recently that the Japanese
orders procured by American shipbuilders
are merely sentimental. He further says
that, in the opinion of experts, the huls
alone of the two cruisers being built in
San Francisco at the Union iron works
and at Cramps ship yards on the Della
ware, will cost as much as the hulls and
armament combined would have cost in
England.

There are fashion plates extending back

1t is thought will be most valuable to those
who wish to discover what styles were in

RESERVATIONS to the Spanish authorities in
regard to the claim fled by this govern
ment for an indemnity of $75,o00 for the
death of DIR. Ruiz, an American citizen,
who died in Spanish prison in Cuba as a
result of alleged brutal treatment. The de-
mand for the settlement of this claim was
made by ex-Minister Taylor during the ad-
ministration of the late Premier Canovas.
and Minister Woodfords instructions in
the matter require him to expedite the set
pement Of the claim. Before his death,
Premier Canovas assured Minister Taylor
tfat the matter would receive thorough
consideration and q reply made to the rep
resentations of the United States as soon
as consistent with the gravity OF the case
The change in the cabinet nece ssita.eI by
his death. has caused delay in the consid-
GRAFTON of the case, but there is now rea-
son to believe that the Spanish answer will
be received before many weeks elapse.
There Is scarcely any doubt that Spain
will deny responsibility for the death Of
Ruiz and. argue that the claim has no
standing in law or equity. Minister Wood

The advanced price of wheat is hay-
Ing no effect on the opinions of the farmers

said Mr.. Meredith to a Star reporter. THE
farmers regard dollar wheat as a result
Of scarcity abroad, and they feel that If

shouting over the present price OF wheat,
they feel that they have been deprived
OF the high price they might have re-

There is no doubt about the position of
Virginia during the coming campaign. 1t is
exceedingly doubtful whether a ticket will
be put in the field by the republicans
against Tyler. The deposed chairman
Lamb. is still fighting for a ticket and
endeavoring to call convention at Lynch
burg for that purpose. But he is opposed
by the administration republicans, headed
by Agnew, and probably will not succeed

Some Old Rule. Revived.

Some old rules governing the Indian
oIiice have been revived and are being
rigidly enforced. An old rule does not per.
init collectors to visit employees Of the In
dian office during business hours, and pro-
hibited any one not an employe of the
office from going to the top floor of the
Atlantic building without permission from
the chief in whose division the stranger
desires to visit. Now every visitor must
have permission of chief to see a clerk,
the interview must take place. 1t is claim
ed by the chiefs that this method will
prevent numbers of clerks being disturbed
by visitor, and will allow the work TO be
conducted with better results. The clerks
however. are not. as a rule pleased witt,
what they regard as a restriction of their
privileges.

inspectors Refuse to Accept Blankets
for Indians.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones will
leave for New York this afternoon on
important business. He had contract
with New York firm for the delivery of
about 1900 blankets for 10000. Inspectors
have refused to accept the blankets be-
cause they are not equal in quality to the
samples submitted with the bids. and the
Indian office is in an embarrassing posi-
ton because It is too late to secure other
bids, and SO large a quantity of blankets
cannot be advantageoUsiy bought in the
open market. The Indians must have the
blankets or suffer. Commissioner Jones
lay settle the trouble by accepting the
blankets at a price lower than that con-
tracted for. which the penalty provided in
the contract will allow him to do.
