ties are quartered. They were not dis
covered until the storm had passed and
they were Immediately ordered away.

S12,OOO,OOO IS INVOLVED
In Law Suit Just Getting Under
Way in California

San Francisco, Aug. 5.-The German
heirs of the late Samuel LUX of the
firm of Miller & Lux, dissatisfied with
the share allowed them of the vast es-
tate in which they are interested, have
begun suit in the United States court
to have the settlement set aside and
ask for an accounting.
When Mr.. Lux died several years ago
his widow, Mrs. Miranda w. Lux, de-
sired that the firm of Miller & Lux b..
wound up, but was opposed by Henry
Miller, the surviving partner.
After several unaVailing attempts to
settle the matter amicably, suit for an
accounting was begun, and long and
complicated litigation ensued.
The case was brought to a temporary
halt by the formation of one of the
largest corporations in this country.
The basis of organization was the issu-
ance of So. 100000 worth of stock rep
resenting the immense landed proper
ties and the varied interests of the firm.
This was divided in proportion to the
amounts that the different heirs were
to receive by the will of Charles Lux,
and the troubles of the concern were
apparently at an end.
It now tranSpireS that several of the
heirs resident in Germany do not think
they have been fairly treated in the dis
tribution of the shares of the corpora
thon, and that they have determined to
fight for what they deem their rights

JAPAN IS MIFFED.
Am ericans are Being Boycotted on
ALL Sides

New York, Aug. 5.-Recent letters re-
ceived in this city from Japan state
that a strong anti-American feeling still
exists in that country and that An1eri-
cans are being boycotted on all sides by
japanese. First the Hawaiian qUes-
ton stirred up the i'll feeling, which
was afterward heightened by the dis
cussion in the United States congress
on the tariff when the proposition was
advanced to tax severely certain Jap
anese goods. The japanese took this
as direct affront and they have not
lost an opportunity since to belittle
Americans and all that pertains to this
country.
James A. Morse, president of the
American Trading company, who went
to Japan two months ago in the inter-
ests of the Cramps and other companies
here, wrote a week ago that the out
look for American interests in Japan
was not encouraging. Mr.. Morse ex-
pected to secure the contract for the
building of the last battleship which
the Japanese government ordered con-
structed. He was about to close the
contract when negotiations were sud
denly stopped and the contract award
ed to an English firm within twenty
four hours

BRITISH OWN KLONDIKE.
No Doubt Exists at Washing ton on
the Matter of Ownership.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Incited by news
paper publicat lions recently, tending to
throw doubt upon the ownership of the
KlOndike gold fields, some of the high
government officials, who would natur-
ally be expected to deal with the ques-
ton if it comes to a practical issue,
have been quietly looking into the mat
ter with view of preparing themselves
for any controversy that might arise.
Their views are in substance that there
can be no valid objection advanced to
the title of Great Britain to this terri
tory. A careful examination of all the
reliable charts and maps made far
enough back in date to be free from
suspicion of influence by the recent
heavy gold finds has convinced these
officers that so far the Klondike
fields, as defined by the latest reports,
are concerned there can be no question
that they lie east of the 141st meridian,
which defines the boundary line. and so
are within British territory by about
So miles at least As for the meridian
itself, it is stated that it has been so
closely located by the surveys of the
Canadians and our own coast surveys
that there is not at any point differ
ence of more than 700 feet in the claim
ed boundary, which of course would not
substantially effect any controversy
that might grow out of the title.

ENGLAND "GOING SOUTH -
United States Has Her on the Run
on the Tin Plate Business

Washington, Aug. 5.-Consul Parker
at Birmingham has furnished the de-
partment of state with a copy of a re-
port made to the British ambassa dor,
Sir Julian Pauncefote, by Hugh ].
Obeirne, his second secretary, contain
ing a review of the growth of the tin
plate industry in the United States. 1t
shows that the tin plate sales from
England have fallen off one-half since
the Mckinley tariff act was passed and
that the American production is stead
lily increasing. 1t is claimed by Mr..
Obeirne that the slight increase of rates
in the present tariff law over those in
the Wilson law will give the United
States manufacturers the California
markets, which were heretofore sup
piled from England.
Enclosed with Mr.. Parker's report is
an editorial from the Daily Birming-
ham Post commenting on the report
and reviewing the tin plate trade since
the Mckinley law of 1890. 1t is claim
ed that the only market England can
now obtain in the United States is by
the drawbacks which the Gamers of ex-
port goods receive.
