JAPAN'S VIGOROUS REPLY
Response 70 The Statements of Secretary
Sherman.
Protesting Against the Fern ana
Manner Of the Hawaiian An
Aexatfoa Treaty.

Mr.. Hoshi Toru. the japanese minister
here, acting under instructions from his
government, has written a letter to the
Secretary Of State. reitcrating with added
vfgor the representations made in his orig
inal note protesting against the form and
manner of the treaty for the annexation
of Hawaii by the United States.
The letter is in the form of an argument
In refutation OF the ground assumed by
Secretary Sherman in his response to the
Japanese protest.
1t is understood that the Japanese gov
eminent desires particularly that in the
event Of the annexation of the islands the
United States shall guarantee the payment
of whatever indemnity may be awarded
the japanese immigrants for the alleged
violation by Hawaii of it's treaty with
Japan, and furthermore that the United
States shall give more definite assurance
that the treaty rights of Japan in Hawaii
shall not be violated by the proposed an
nexaticn.
The officials of the State Department de-
cline to discuss the matter in any of its
phases. 1t was admitted by one official
hoover. that there were indications of a
prolonged diplomatic controversy between
the United States and Japan in regard to
the annexation treaty. The rumor of the
probable recall Of Mr.. Hoshi Toru has been
revived. and 1t now finds credence because
of the belief that Count Okuma the jap
anese minister of foreign affairs. is dis
satisfied with his conduct of affairs.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK. July I0.-London's close
holiday and the short local session COM
hined in reducing the volume of business
at the stock exchange this morning The
bulk OF the dealings represented the even
ing up of contracts. and in most Instances
this process was beneficial to prices
During the first hour the covering of
short contracts was especially noticeable.
The scarcity of stocks seeking a market
continues TO be a pronounced feature of the
present situation.
The real owners of securities have not
hesitated to leave town for extended vaca-
ton trips with liberal holdings Of the va
rious active stock issues. This fact must
be taken as indicating confidence in the
Welfare of the future.
The market has been attacked al several
points during the week. but the result; has
never been equal to the effort. Temporary
declines have been recorded, but the safes
responsible for this depression were mainly
of character necessitating a subsequ Ant
purchase.
the immediate future of the stock market
hinges almost entirely on three important
events. The strike situation must Improve
or II will be q deterrent influence in finan-
cial circles. Conflicting reports of labor
troubles have been instrumental in making
prices during the last half OF the present
week. The businesslke efforts now in pro-
cess to adjust the matters in dispute may
convert the news from the strike centers
into favorable arguments during the coming
week
The ffhal passage of the tariff bill is a
factor looked forward to as an event of
unusual significance.
The third event, and one OF very doubt
full benefit, is the proposed currency mes
sage. The sending in Of this document
would have beneficial influence abroad.
but this result might be counterao ted by
local fears of its handicapping the iarifr
bill.
The government crop report will be a
factor during the new week, and opinion
is practically unanimous that its influence
will be for good.
American sugar will be watched from
now on. as means of gaining early in
telligence of the progress of events at
Washington. This stock was feature to-
day, a sharp advance of 1 per cent and
equally sharp decline of equal proper
tons being recorded during the first hour.
Some selling of long Manhattan was the
only other feature of the day.
The bank statement shows no important
changes beyond an increase of over sl.ea,-
900 in loans A slight decrease in reserve
is reported in consequence of an increase
of 81 63s so in the deposits. Some gold en-
gagements seem likely during the coming
week. but the amounts are small and the
motive insignificant.
