4 TROUBLESOME QUESTION

Raised by the japanese Enthusiastically
Rights OF Japanese Must be Respected.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-The secretary
of state has written n letter to the
governor of California asking him to
cause an investigation of the circum-
stances under which two Japanese
subjects were driven away from the
new town of Johannesburg in that
state. This action is taken because the
Japanese minister here has made COM
plant that the men who were employed.
as cooks, and came in conflict with
local labor movement, by being pre-
vented from following their business,
were deprived of privileges guaran.
teed by treaty between the United
States and Japan. If the facts show
that this complaint is well-foundedr
the next step probably will be a de-
mand by the Japanese government for
indemnity and the protection of the
men in their rights.
While this particular case is not re-
garded here as threatening to give rise
to difficulty in its settlement, the fire.
quency with which the state depart
ment in late years has been obliged to
intervene with state authorities.
to secure the protection of
foreign subjects in most cases unsuc-,
cessfully, too, gives rise to the expec-
tation that the president, in the near
future, will be obliged to appeal tc,
congress for some legislation to pre-
vent such occurrences, which might
lead to international complications.

CowardHy Murder ON Board the Batt1eshlR
Lndfana-A Seaman, Refused Ration OF
Beer, Watches His Opportunity and
Plungea . Bayonet Into the Back Of
the Master at Arms. Who Had Reported
and Had Him Reprimandeds
New YeRK, July L-Thos. j. KenneY,
master-at-arms of the battleship In
diana, was murdered last night on
board the ship as it lay at its mornings
at the Brooklyn navy yard. The muir
derer, Philip T. Carter. walked up to
him and without word of warning
plunged 3 bayonet blade mp to its hilt
in his back. Kenney was a popular
man, although strict disciplin-
arian. He entered the service
nearly six years ago, served
for five years in the marine
corps from which he was discharged
with the rank of sergeant. He re-
entered the service as seaman, and was
then detailed to the battleship Indiana
in October last year. Carter enlisted
from Boston in 1896. He, like the man
he killed, is young, being but 81 years
of age. He has had no service except
on board the Indiana.
The murder occurred about seven
o'clock, and it had been preceded by
an alteration. at Clio p. m. ''beer
quarters" were sounded, and the men
took their positions in line on the for
ward deck to receive their ratfons of
beer. Carter was among the number.
He had been absent during the after
noon, had been drinking, and was in .
quarrelsome mood. He insisted on
pushing the others aside and Kenney,
noticing his condition, took him out of
the ranks and refused to allow beer to
be served to him. Carter then seized 3
bottle of beer and the master at arms
took it from him and reported him to
the officer of the deck. For this Carter
was severely reprimanded. This led
to the murder.

Badly Caught, but Hopes to Come Dat All
Right In the End.
NEW YORK, July referring to .
published statement that by reason of
the decision of the supreme court Of
the state of Washington, declaring
void certain warrants amounting to
81, 600, 900 of the city of Tacoma in that
state, the New York Life Insurance
Co. would lose $500, 600, representa-
tive of that company said yesterday:
I'VE are advised by experienced
counsel that we shall lose nothing. In
any case we cannot lose $500, 900, be-
cause about $3.50, 600 of the loan for
that sum on the warrants in question
has been paid. The bank which guar
anteed the loan to us has suspended,
pending a final decision in the matter
by the United States supreme court to
which the case will be appealed.
There was no fraud in the matter by
the Tacoma city treasurer. The war
rants in question were not reissued
after they had once been paid. Ger
tain loans were renewed and new war
rants or bonds were issued therefor.
The city has had the unliquidated
benefit of the money and it will. we
think, eventually have to pay the war
Iants in question. The New York
Life Insurance Co. has the bank re-
ferred to between it and the city aud
we do not think we shall lose q pennV."
