JAPs DoN'T WANT IT.
Oriental Minister to Brazil Discusses
Hawaii.


Hawaii.
WINNIPEG, July 6.--Hon. Shinda,
Japanese minister resident to Brazil,
with suite of five attaches, spent a
brief season in the city during the after
noon Ell route to New York. In speak
ing Of the recent complications in Ha-
wall, he said he did not wish to be
speaking authoritatively, but it was his
opinion that the matter now under Dip
lomatic negotiation would be amicably
settled. A preposterous idea, he said,
had gained currency in this country
that Japan had desire to acquire the
island, while the truth is the only anx-
lefty Of the government was to preserve
proper respect for it's people. In reply
to an inquiry as to Japan entering
protest against the annexation Of tho
island to the United States, Hon.
Shinda did not think such step would
be taken, though the government will
look into the terms to see that the
treaty rights Of Japan are protected.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Senator ALI
son, in charge Of the tariff Till, an
nounced shortly before the adjourn
ment of the senate that as no agreement
had been reached for final vote on the
tariff bill he would ask the senate to re-
main in session at the next sitting at

unless the opposition to the bill gives

In some respects the senate made
good progress during the day, disposing
OF two amendn.ents-that placing
stamp tax OH bond and stock transac-
tons being agreed to with little or. no
opposition and without the formaity Of
a vote, while the Spooner amendment,
proposing a tariff investigation, was
withdrawn after protracted struggle.
Several Amendments Defeated.
Late in the day several new amend
ments from individual senators were
voted on. One by Mr.. Mantle (Mon.),
reducing the internal revenue tax on
distilled spirits to 10 cents per gallon,
was defeated, 20 to Al. An amendment
by MI. Mills (Tex.), proposing tax Of
per cent OH manufactured products,
the proceeds to 80 toward reducing the

COLUMBUS. O., July 8.-President
Ratchford of the United Mine Workers
spent the day at headquarters. but not
many reports were received from the
various mining districts throughout
the country az to the progress Of tho
strike. The news received, however, is
to the effect that the miners have
generally Suspended work and the
strike promises to be success. The
success Of, the whole movement seems to
devolve upon the men in the Pittsburg
district, and, judging from the last I'D.
vices received from that field, the min
ers there propose to do their part. So
far as can Do learned, the operators in
both the Pittsburg and Ohio districts do
not intend to put forth any effort to
start their mines but have concluded to
quietly close down and await develop
ments. At least it will require several
days for the operators to determine
upon what course to pursue. -
Many willing to Pay the Scale.
President Ratchford said he had been
nstonished at the great number Of tele-
grams received from operators request
ing permission to operate their mines by
paying the price demanded by the min
ers. These requests could not be
granted for the reason that to do SO
would be defeating the very object
which the strike is intended to accom-
plish. r.,
A prominent Ohio operator stated
that in his opinion the strike would
prove fiat failure. Not that he wished
it to so terminate, but from the fact
that the entire Pittsburg district was
not represented at the meeting held in
Pittsburg on Saturday. He did not be-
lieve all the miners in that district
would strike, and unless they do it can
not be expected that the object for
which the strike has been ordered will
be accomplished.

Tho merchants of New York have hit
upon scheme TO Increase their business.
which, II not original, certainly Is novel,
Considering the size of the city and the
scope OF the work. They have formed
themselves into a merchants association
and are reaching over the country for
business by offering inducements to
merchants In the smaller cities and
towns to come to New York to do their
buying,
One method is an arrangement through
the Joint traffic association for excursion
rates for all their customers. the fare be-
Ing one-third rate for merchants or their
families and employees Efforts are also
being made to have the western, the
southern and the southeastern traffic as
soclatlons to Issue such tickets AT the
request Of the boards of trade OF Phlla-
delphla and Baltimore stop-over prlvl-
leges are granted to the holders OF
tickets,
The project is said to he working well
and the New York papers announce that
already there are 5000 nonresident mer-
chants who have Joined the association.
Describing the scheme the New York
Press says;
1.-THE merchants have awakened to the
fact that the new organization means
business; that. unlike the chamber of
commerce, 1t is not Intended as a sort Of
lecture bureau to the president, and that.
unlike the board of trade, II Is not inter
ested so much in the height of the build
tngs as In filing them with business,
Business Is at the bottom of It and all
through 1t, and the merchants have come
to see that from an exclusively utilitar-
tan point OF view It deserves their sup
port,
Here is suggestion for the merchants
of cities of a smaller growth, whose trade
is necessarily confined to a limited terri
tory. If the plan can work well with
New York, which seeks to take in the
whole Union, why would 1t not work pro-
portIonately well with cities with lin
tied field from which to draw trade?
