JAPAN OUT OF MONEY.
Civilization Has Necessitated the Ex-
penditure of Vast Sums.

penditure of Vast sums.
TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 3.-The steamer
Olympia, from the Orient, brings news that
the Japanese government is seriously en-
barrassed financially, owing to the rapid
pace at which that nation has been going
since the war with China. Civilization has
necessitated increased expenditures in
every direction, particularly in building rail
roads, telegraph lines, new government
buildings, improving harbors and strength
enng the army and navy. The treasury
was not directly benefited by the big war
indemnity paid by China, because it has
been kept in England to pay for new war
ships and armament. Owing to the IN
creased expenditures during the past year
all the governments reserve funds are ex-
hausted.
The Russian government has determined
to keep open during the winter the harbor
of Vladivostock, Siberia, the terminus of
the Trans-Siberia Railway. This harbor is
closed by ice from November to May, but
the government has just sent to NladiYos-
took two immense ice-crushing steamers
like those used in keeping winter communi-
cations open between Denmark and Swe-
den.
There is great need of rain in Corea and
the Governor has sent priests to the noun
tains to petition the gods for showers.
1t is certain large importationS of grain
will be necessary. while usually Corea ex-
ports to China and Japan.

SAILORS AND COOLIES.
Fight between American Tnrs and
Jnpnnese at Kobe.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 3.-The steamer
Belgic, from Hong Kong via Honolulu.
brings advices from Kobe to the effect that
a serious riot occurred there on July u
between a number of sailors from the ships
Yorktown and Boston and a mob of Japa-
nese coolies on the occasion of a ball game
between a team from the two war ships
and the European nine of Kobe. The row
commenced when a coole, having stolen
flask of whisky from blue jacket, was
caught and chastised by the latter. The
local police attempted to arrest the sailor,
but his shipmates refused to give him up
and marched in a body to a restaurant,
where they made a stand and deted the
natives. An immense crowd assembled and
the attitude of the coolies was decidedly
menacing. but the police made no effort
to dispense the mob and the blue jackets
determined TO fight thar way through the
mob to the water front. Stones and other
missiles were exchanged and when a rein
forcement came ashore. some hours later,
the police dispersed the coolies and the
sailors boarded their respective ships with
out further molestation. 1t is believed,
however, that more will be heard of the
incident in the near future.

PRINCETON. Ind, Aug. 3.-The striking
miners of Daviess Pike and Gibson counties
have taken the marching fever and to-
day a movement began in which they will
attempt to close every coal mine in south
ern Indiana. The march began among the
Daviess county miners. They invaded Pike
county to-day, and have closed the mine at
Rodgers and the WOOley mine at Peters
burg. 1t is reported here that the strikers
entered the Wooley mine and drove the men
at work out. They then proceeded to the
Little mines, five miles north of Oakland
City, in Gibson county A message re-
ceived here late tonight states that the
men at Little's stubbornly refused to join
in the march. The marchers left Little late
this afternoon, en- route to the Carbon and
Ayrshire mines, east of Oakland City, and
will be joined tonight by thirty strikers
from the Maule Coal Company's mine, of
this city. 1t is the intention of the strikers
to close the Carbon and Ayrshire mines,
but it is feared they will encounter trouble
at Ayrshire, as the men there are deter
mined to work. The strikers have threat
ened to seize a Louisville & ST. Louis air
line freight train tonight and take it to
Huntingburg, where they will call the men
out They will then go down the Evans
vile branch on the Airline and close all
the mines in Warrick Spencer and Perry
counties. superintendent Holbrook, of the
Airline, has asked the sheriffs of the va
rious counties through which his line passes
for protection, and it is said the sheriffs
have promised to do so. Trouble is feared
The strikers have several wagons load
ed with provisions, and expect to be on the
march the remainder of the week.

SOLDIERS ON WHEELS.
President and Mrs. Mckinley View n
Parade of the Bicycle Corps.

PLATTSBURG, N. Y, Aug. 3.-Presdent
Mckinley reviewed the Twenty-first United
States Infantry again to-day. The Presi-
dent sat with Mrs. Mckinley at her own
corner of the Hotel Champlain balcony,
which was covered with bunting. The reg
'ulars showed to good advantage as they
filed past, with their band playing lively
airs. The hotel guests and about 1000
townspeople watched the parade A feature
which elected considerable applause was
the regimental bicycle corps. commanded
by Lieutenant Parks. When the review
was over the TWenty-firSt Regiment Band
gave a concert. President and Mrs. Nc
Kinley seemed to thoroughly enjoy the en-
tire proceedings.
Lieutenant Governor Fisk, of Vermont,
and John w. Titcomb, president of the Yer
mont Fish and Game League, the
Presidents only visitors during the morn
ing. Their call was for the purpose of ar
ranging the details of the Presidents visit
to the annual meeting of the game league
on the Isle La Motto, on the 9th inst. Gov
ernor Grout and Senator Proctor viii arrive
here on the 5th to accompany the Presi-
dent and party to Isle La Motto, via the
steamer Maquan. On the 9th the President
will be the guest Of Lieutenant Governor
Fisk, near whose home there Will be tent,

not down for a speech, but it is expected
that he will have something to say.
The President witnessed a golf match
to-day on the Hotel Champlain links. He
was attended by Smith NJ. Weed. Mr. Nc
Kinley cannot be induced to try his hand.
1t is probable that the Twenty-frst regi-
ment of infantry, with the regimental
band, will parade on the hotel ground every
day that the President is here. The presi-
dental party, with the exception of Mrs.
Mckinley and Secretary Porter, took

Trouble Caused by Dcserterx.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-The latest ad-
vices of the Navy Department from the
Asiatic station make no mention of any
trouble such as reported in a dispatch from
Victoria between the sailors of the York
town and Boston with the Japanese at
Kobe, and for that reason the officials at
the department attach no Importance to the
report. 1t is the practice of commanders of
United States war ships to offer Il reward
for the capture of deserters from their
ships in foreign ports, and it is surmised
that if any of our sailors have been rough
ly handled it may have been some deserters
who were captured by the local authorities
for the reward. A recently published story
of the i'll treatment OF United States sail
ors in Honolulu turns out to have exactly
this fact for a foundation. Some deserters
were captured by the local police, and, as
they resisted it was necessary to tie them
up and deliver them in this shape aboard
hardly any record of the i'll treatment of
American sailors in Japanese ports.

Only 800 Miles from the Coast 10 the
Gold Fields.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-There is a. short
and easy route TO the rich gold fields of the
Klondike according to a communication
to the Interior Department from Western
civil engineer and prospector, who has
spent much time in Alaska. If the govern
ment finds on investigation that the in
formation he gives regarding the physical
nature of the country between Prince Will
liam sound and the headquarters of the
Yukon is correct, it Is probable that the
throngs who go to the gold fields next year
will be able to follow route much short
er and less difficult than either of those
now travelled.
The letter is from ]. C. c. Lewis, civil
engineer OF Salem, Ore. who claims to be
able to open up at a small expense a route

DENVER, Col, Aug. 3--The fast flyer on
the Kansas Pacific Railway was wrecked
about daylight this morning about forty
miles east of Denver. Two trainmen were
killed outright, and eleven people injured.

MISS MINNIE EDELMONN, bruised.
G. T. GODDARD, back hurt
MRS. JOHN TRAIRS, Augusta, Ca,
arms and legs cut.
The wreck was caused by a washout.
The heavy rains of the night flooded the
streams and carried out a portion of a
small bridge which spans Comanche creek,
between Byers and Strasburg. The train
was on time and was running along at the
usual speed when approaching the scene OF
the accident. Without warning the engine
plunged into the creek, followed by the
mail and baggage car. Both Pullman cars
remained on the track, but the chair car
was tipped upon end in the washout. The
engine was completely under water in al
most the middle of the stream and Engi-
neer Ward was under it. Strange to say
the fireman escaped death, but was badly
hurt Instantly there was the widest con-
fusion. The most seriously injured passen-
gers were riding in the forward car. Some
of the sleeping passengers in the Pulmans
were thrown from their berths and more
or less hurt but none seriously.
Byers the nearest town to the wreck, was
five miles away and the conductor hastened
to cover that distance foot. He arrived
there at 5 o'clock and the railway officials
in Denver were notified of the accident by
telegraph special wrecking train with
General Manager Duell and other railway
officials and physicians on board started
for the scene OF the wreck. Meantime all
possible was being done for the wounded
at the wreck. The special train returned to

REMEDY FOR TETANUS.
Victim of LOcI<-Jnw Benefitted by the
Antf-TOxin Treatment

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-The physicians
of the Emergency Hospital to-day had their
first chance to practically test the anti
toxin of tetanus or lock-jaw. An interesting
series of experiments with this poison and
its antidote have been carried on for a
year past at the army medical laboratory,
but the disease in human beings is so rare
that no practical test has been made in
Washington. The sufferer in this case was
Richard Curtis, colored. He stepped on a
nail several days ago, making bad wound
in the sole of his foot. All the symptoms
face and neck became rigid. the patient
could not speak. Nourfshment had TO be
given by injection. The anti-toxin was in
lected in the patients side and he has since
been kept in perfect quiet. The physicians
state that the spasms which are one of
the features Of the disease have begun 10
subside and the patients condition is now
quite encouraging,

BeardsIee's Instructions.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-It is declared
positively at the State Department that
there has been no change in the instruc-
Admiral Beardslee touching their attitude
toward the Hawaiian question. The ad-
miraPs instructions were to protect Amer
lean interests at all points and to establish
a protectorate only in the event of serious
disturbance or the commission of some
overt act. 1t is not understood that the
execution Of this order was at all depend
ent upon the action or nonaction of Con-
gress upon the annexation.
At the Navy Department an even more
explicit denial Of a story telegraphed here
that the flag was to be hOisted yesterday
obtained. 1t was said that Admiral
Beardslee's orders only contemplated
landing in an emergency to preserve the
status quo. and that the landing in that
case would not be for a longer period Of
time than was necessary to restore COnd-
tions to their former shape. 1t was said
that as President Mckinley had referred
the whole matter to Congress, along
be courteous to that body for the execu-
tive to act of his own volition until Con-
gresS had expressed its will. 1t was fur
ther said that there was no truth in the
oft-repeated story that the battle ship
Oregon was under orders to go to Honolulu.
no special commissioner has been sent by
President Mckinley to Hawaii, as is
stated in a San Francisco dispatch, and
that any person representing himself as
such has no authority to do so. The in
terests of the United States in that quarter
of the Pacific are believed to be entirely
safe in the care of United States Minister
Sewall who is now on the ground.
