JAPANESE MINISTER RETURNS.
He VIII Net Present Another Protest Against
tho Annexation OF Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o.-Mr. Toru Hoshi. the
Japanese Minister. who has been on q visit to
Japan. reached Washington to-day. He will
not present another protest to this Gov
eminent against the annexation of Hawaii,
but will explain to the State Department that
his country expects TO be guaranteed. in the
event Of Hawaiis amalgamation with the
United States. of tho rights secured with the
Government OF the Pacific republic by treaty.
All Japan seeks to secure is a promise that
the same rights and principles accorded her
subjects in Hawaii will be continued by this
country IL annexation is accomplished. Tho
friction between Japan and the United States
which existed at the time the annexation treaty
was negotiated is not so intense now. 1t mas. in
fact, almost entirely disappeared since the State
sentationsm made by Mr.. Hoshi in regard to the
treaty.
When John w. Foster was negotiating with
Japan to secure her participation in the fur seal
conference the trouble over annexation was in
the acute stage. and the temper Of this Govern
mcnt was such that the feeling would have been
intensified by the character OF the note
which the State Department was preparing to
send to the Toxic authorities through Mr.. Hoshi.
But Mr.. Foster secured q modification of tho
tone Of this answer, and, as sent, 1t was conched
in amicable terms, and has undoubtedly restored

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1o.-Richard Mansfield.
who IL playing q two weeks engagement at
tho Chestnut Street Opera House, was the
defendant In a Police Magistrates Court
this afternoon in an action brought by John
Metzgar, Of 154 Miller avenue, Cleveland, D..
who assists him in the arrangement Of his stage
costumes. In the performance of this useful
oflce Metzgar aroused the irritable sensibilities
of his employer 10 such an extent last Tuesday
night that violence followed, to the physical dis
comfture Of the dresser.
Mr.. Mansfield was dressing for Prince Karl,
and addressed a princely rebuke to Metzgar for
clumsily breaking a pair OF sleeve buttons.
MetZgar pleaded that he was not familiar with
the makeup Of the part, and for this, he testi-
fed, his employer called him a loafcr and smoto
him on the ear.
On Wednesday he appeared for his task
swathed In bandages and ~disigured with plas-
ters. Mansfeld's part was Shyiock. and with
buzzing head Metzgar lacked some Of his facility
in adjusting tho Jews attire. For tkis Mans
field threatened to discharge him. he said, and
he left. On Thursday. Mansfield, he said. saw
him. offered him 800, and asked him to take
four weeks vacation with pay. Metzgar had
thcn begun the prosecution and he refused to
withdraw it.
AT the hearing A. NJ. Palmer was present with
Mansfield. who was represented by Lawyer John
q. Johnson. The prosecutor was represented by
James Fa. Il; Shak g. who has fisq pS as GoS Snc
mombers OF TIL Theatrical Trust.
Mr.. Mansfeld's counsel broadly insinuated
that the prosecution was inspired by a desire of
retaliation because Mansfield expressed his in
tention Of refusing to play future engagements
at, Nixon & Zimmerman's houses in Phila-
delphia.
Mansfield was held in 5000 bail for a further
hearing on the charge of assault and battery.
A the conclusion of the fourth act Of "A
Partisan Romance" tonight he appeared before
the curtain and referred to his arrest to-day in q
speech in which he paid his compliments to the
Theatrical Trust.

QUICK VENGEANCE OF 4 MOB.
Lynch law for the Negro who Murdered Mrs.
smith and Four or Her ChiIdres.

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 1O.-Charles Jones, the
negro who murdered FIVE members Of the Brown
Smith family near Bankston's Ferry, Lawrence
county, Miss. was lynched early this morning
by men who had been pursuing him ever since
the discovery OF the murders.
The Smiths lived on Pearl River, two miles
from the ferry. The husband is a farmer. Yes
terday he went to Wesson on business. leaving
Mrs. Smith and his i've children at home. The
eldest child was 10 years old and the youngest
an infant in arms. When he returned he found
that his wife and four OF the children had been
murdered, their heads having been crushed in
with a heavy club. The negro had assaulted
Mrs. Smith and then beaten her brains out with
a club. The murder OF the children was un-
doubtedly for the purpose of preventing identi-
ncation.
Unfortunately for the murderer. he had not
done his work thoroughly. One OF the children,
q little girl OF 5, had been knocked lnsensible,
but not killed, The murderer. deceived by her
insensibility, left under the belief that she was
dead. The child recovered soon afterward and
was able to tell the story Of the murder and to
identity the murderer as Jones.
Jones was captured last night and confined in
the Jail. He was taken from Il this morning to
be carried to the Court House. but was waylaid
by a mob, which took him from the officers. car
ried him to the scene of his crime, and there
lyuched him.

MURDER IN HOUSE.
\ LEADING LAWYER OF LoUIsIANA
KILLED IN COLD BLOOD.

Record or Raurdera-Moro Trouble Expected.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. ~1o.-Judge Joseph A.
Reid, one of the leading lawyers OF the State
and brother of District Judge Robert Reid, was
assassinated late last night in the Court House
at Franklinton, Washington parish.
Reid was in attendance at his brothers court
and had just finished arguing q case. He
walked down from the courtroom, passing two
men on the stairway. AS he passed, one of tho
men whirled around, drew n revolver, and fired
three shots. All three bullets struck Reid in
tho back, penetrating through his chest, and
causing instant death.
The assassins ran down the stairway, sprans
upon their horses, and took flight. They were
followed by q posse Of mounted men for fve
miles and lost sight Of. They rode toward
Tangipahoa, and had undoubtedly followed Reid
from there to Franklinton to kill him.
Reid was q man Of considerable political
force and the leading lawyer in the district.
He had been warned frequently that he would be
assassinated. The murder is the fruit Of the
Tangipahoa fcud, one Of the most sanguinary
ever known in the State or in the South, and
Judge Reid is the seventeenth victim killed In
1t in a comparatively short time.
Tho succession OF murders, generally assassi-
nations, have given the parish the name of
Bloody Tangipahoa" and the largest record
of murders of any county in the South. Nearly
thirty men have been killed directly or indi-
rectly from this trouble. DR.. Felix Varnado
was killed by DR.. Joel Goss, and then followed
the death of DIR. Goss, who was killed by VII.
liam Davidson. Reid, the man assassinated
last night. was charged with being implicated
in the killing, but was able to prove his inno-
cence.
Davidson was killed soon after by ABB Gill
and the Bambcrt brothers, who arc now con-
fined in the New Orleans parish prison awaiting
trial. DR.. Lance Goss, a brother Of DR.. Joel
Goss, was killed by Bob McMichael, David
sons cousin. Sam Hyde, who assisted in ar
resting Gill and the Bambert brothers, was
assassinatcd by being shot from ambush. Then
followed two other assassinations, Of Amacker
and Nixon, who were shot from ambush by mis-.
take for other persons, It was thought, as both
were young men and not implicated in the
feud. Finally Reid himself, a strong friend of
Hyde, was assassinated last night These .are
some OF the chief murders in the Tangipa-
hoa feud. but by no means all, there being sew
eral side branches to the trouble.
The last assassination is likely to lead to
| other'troubles, as Reid's friends, who are many,
will adopt vigorous means to punish his muir
derers.

terests also anticipate more liberal treatment
from the incoming. city authorities than they
have had for some time. AS yet the question Of
changing the motive power on the elevated
lines from steam to electricity has not been
definitely settled. The officers OF the Manhattan
Company will move slowly In regard to 1t, for
they know what can be done with steam power,
but are not certain what electricity can do.
