OUR REPLY TO JAPAN.
Secretary sherman WIN Be Brief an
Use ConoiliatOry Language.

Secretary Sherman WIN BE Brief and
Use ConciliatOry Language.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9,-It is under
stood that the reply of Secretary Sher-
man to the last Japanese protest against
the annexation of Hawaii will be brief
by comparison with the long letters
that have gone before, but will be con-
ciliatory in tone. This is accounted for
by the fact that the state department
has taken note Of the published utter
ances Of eminent japanese statesmen,
which, while unofficial, are still of un-
doubted authenticity, all going to show
that Japan has herself no designs upon
the islands, but seeks only to conserve
her treaty rights.
However, the basic tone Of the note
on this point will be the declaration by
Secretary Foster, when he submitted to
President Harrison the original treaty
of annexation in 1898, which failed
owing mainly to the immediate change
of administration. This statement was
that, according to recognized principle
of international law, the obligation OF
treaties, even when some of their stipu-
lations are terms perpetual, expire in
case either Of the contracting parties
loses its existence as an independents
state The foreign treaties Of the Ha-
waiian islands therefore terminate, up
ON annexation, with the competence Of
the government to hold diplomatic re-
lations. The argument is to meet the
Japanese jeotion that they will by an
nexation lose certain privileges for
japanese subjects which they now en-.
JOY under treaty with Hawaii.

EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE.
A Man, His Wife and Little Child Badly
Burned In Chicago.


Burned in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Three persons
composing the family of Peter Veth at
227 East Huron street, were seriously
burned yesterday in a fire caused by an
explosion of gasoline. The injured are /:
Peter Veth, Mrs Bessie Veth, his wife,
and Edwin Veth, aged two and half
years.
Mrs. Veth went to the rooms of Mrs.
g. H. Solomon, on the second floor,
from whom she had rented the rooms,
and procured a small quantity Of gaso-
line in coffee cup to clean a brass bed
stead. Taking it to her rooms, she
used the stuff in cleaning the bed and
with brush applied it to the wood
work. Her little boy with bare feet
and wearing but little clothing was
playing on the floor.
1t was not noticed that the gasoline
had filed the room with vapor, and Mr..
Veth struck a match for the purpose Of
lighting a cigar In an instant there
was an explosion and the room was
filed with flame. The husband caught
up the child in his arms and ran down
the stairs out of the fire. A few Sec
onds later he was followed by his wife,
who was screaming and enveloped in
flames from head to foot. All her cloth
ing was burning, and the wrapper she
wore fell from her in blazing strips. At
the landing ON the second floor she met
Mrs. Solomon, the landlady, and the
frantic woman threw her arms around
Mrs. Solomon and begged her to save
her.
Mrs. Solomon disengaged herself only
to be grasped again about the neck by
the agonized woman. She succeeded in
shaking her off and ordering her to re-
main standing, where she was ran into
one of her own rooms and procured a
pitcher'of water which she poured on
Mrs. Veth. This was repeated by the
landlady, and then the latter threw
around Mrs. Veth a large quilt from
one of her beds and the flames were
subdued.
The mother was removed to the
German hospital. There the physicians,
after dressing her burns, said she
would probably recover. Mr.. Veth was
taken to the same hospital. His hands
and arms are severely burned, and his
hair and eyebrows singed. The boys
injuries are not serious.

And Very Unsatisfactory all
Around in the
COAL MINERS
WAGE BATTLE.
Several Additions to the Ranks of
Strikers During the Week.

PITTsBURa, Aug. 9.-Although yes
terday was considered q day of rest
among the strikers, probably the most
effective work among the Plum Creek
miners was performed. A large mass
meeting was held at Camp Isolation at
Plum Greek in the afternoon, which, in
addition to about 1000 others, was at
tended by about 200 women, the wives
and daughters of the miners who are
still at work IN the Plum Greek mine
Notwithstanding the fact that deputies
visited the homes Of these people yes
terday morning aud advised them not
to attend the meeting, nearly every
woman attended, her brother or hus-
band with her.
Because of the many restrictions put
on the strikers they have hitherto been
unable to get chance to argue their
cause with the Plum Greek workmen,
and the occasion given them yesterday
was the result of the missionary work
of the wives of the strikers from Nc
Donald, Finleyville and Carnegie.
These women have been working as
sidiously during the past week and Sc
cured the promise of the wives of the
working miners to attend the meeting
and bring their husbands. The result
of the meeting was the assurance from
nearly a hundred men that they would
join the strikers.
The plan is for the men to work I'M
til they receive their 20-days' pay,
which will be given them today, and
then they are to desert the pit, leaving
only eight days wages back, which,
judging by the action of the company
in the case of the Sanky Greek strikers
will be refused them. II this plan does
not miscarry, the strikers think it will
only be a question Of a very short time
until the Dearinit mines are tied up
completely.
The meeting yesterday was inaugu-
rated by religious services conducted by
Rev. Lincoln Lash, assisted by choir
of 20 colored jubilee singers, after
which Mrs. Mary Jones, the Chicago
agitator, spoke for about an hour, put
ting the case very plainly to her women
auditors She placed the responsibility
for the success or failure of the strike
on the wives and made a decidedly ia
vorable impression.
