THE PROTEST of JAPAN.
Ostensibiy Objects to Annexation of Ha-
wall Because of Her Treaty Rights.

Washington, June 27.-The Japanese
by the United States had been made
known from a very high source. The
Japanese base their opposition to an
nexation almost entirely upon the
ground that it is an interference with
the treaty rights of Japan and COM
plain especially that the treaty was ne
Sotiated in the face of the most friend
ly protestationS from Japan and at a
time when the Japanese authorities had
been led to believe that no such treaty
would be understaken. The following
may be accepted as an absolutely ac-
curate outline /of the position Of the
Japanese legation in Washington:
The Japanese insist, as on all former
occasions, that the japanese govern
ment has not now and never has had
any designs against Hawaii This they
consider a most important point be-
cause of the talk about colonization,
which they say has apparently had so
much weight in the discussion of the
question. They contend that the Jap
anese first went to Hawaii in response
to the demand for labor in the islands
under the provisions of a treaty con-
cluded in 1886 at the solicitation of the
Hawaiian government.
They call attention to the fact that
the Japanese government has always
been averse to having its people go
abroad as coolies" as the Chinese do
and that the government has always
striven to prevent such immigration.
AS a consequence the Hawaiian treaty
was so worded as to prevent even the
suspicion of anything like coolie labor
The interests of all parties are. the
Japanese say, protected, and as a con-
sequence the Hawaiian planters Sc
cured high class of agricultural labor
upon fair terms and under circum-
stances that did not give the least
occasion for the dislike and opprobium
which generally attach to contract
labor. This land that they are deprived
of they will remedy by the consumma-
ton of this treaty. On this account
they are inclined TO regard the action
as unjust and arbitrary. They also
hold that Japan has rights under
treaties with Hawaii other than those
detailed, including reciprocal annuities
which they fear may not be renewed
if Hawaii becomes a part of the United
States.
The present purpose appears to be to
terminate these rights with the privi-
lege of appeal and against this proceed
ing they protest. They hold that while
Japan has no purpose of asserting any
authority in Hawaii the japanese gov
eminent has the right to demonstrate
in the interest of it's citizens and to
demand that their legitimate rights be
respected.

Probability That the Senate May Dispose
of the Tariff This Week.

Washington, June 27,-The republican
managers are still hopeful that the
present may prove to be the last week
of the tariff debate in the senate. All
the schedules have been gone over
once leaving nothing to be done but to
consider the paragraphs in the various
schedules which have been passed when
reached in their regular order because
of differences Of opinion among the re-
publicans themselves.
Many of these differences have been
adjusted in the republican ranks, but
the democrats will naturally take ad-
vantage of their knowledge of the feel
ing existing among their opponents to
debate some of the questions at length.
1t is understood now that coal, leath-
er, hides and lead ore will each be
vigorously discussed, as will also the
questions, though more briefly, of recip-
rocity the treatment of trusts and the
disposition of the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty.
In view of the determination of the
democrats to exploit all these questions
and others as well, it would seem inn
possible to conclude the senate's work
on the bill before the end of the week,
and it is more than probable that the
final word will be reserved for the fol-
lowing week.
The house will continue this week
its policy of adjournment from Mon
day to Thursday. After that its course
will depend upon the action of the SEN
ate. If by any chance a vote should be
had on the tariff bill Wednesday or
Thursday, the house probably will re-
main in session to receive the bill, dis
agree to the senate amendments and
appoint conferees Otherwise an ad-
journmnt will be had from Thursday to
Monday

A NEW MURDER MYSTERY
DISmEMBERED BODY OF A MAN
FOUND IN NEW YORK.

The Trunk Was Found Saturday in the
East River-Sundny Another Part Was
A Found in the Woods Near 176th Street,
Eight Miles Distant-Both Parts Sewn
New York, June 27.-The lower part
of the trunk of a man was found by
two boys in the woods at One Hundred
and Seventy-sixth street and Under
cliffe avenue, this city, to-day. 1t was
terribly mutilated and showed plainly
that murder had been committed. 1t
was wrapped in oilcloth and MANILA
paper, exactly as was the upper part Of
trunk found in the East river Off
Eleventh street Saturday. The two
are parts of the same body.
The two pieces were found more than
eight miles apart, one in the water, the
other on land. The part found to-day
comprised the lower part of the trunk
from the fifth rib to the hips, the legs
having been severed from the body at
the hip joints. 1t was wrapped in three
folds of paper and two Of oilcloth. The
same piece as that which enclosed the
upper part of the trunk. 1t was new
and of cheap pattern. bright red with
gilt figures on it. 1t is like that COM
monty used for tablecloths in tenement
houses.
The find of to-day was in a bulky
bundle lying against a well next to I'm
dercliffe avenue, where the shrubbery
was very thick. 1t had not been dis
sected, which does away with the be-
lief that it had been handled by medi-
cal students. Besides, it had been ter
ribly hacked where separated from the
| upper portion.
1t was sent to the morgue, where 1t
fitted the part found on Saturday ex-
actly.
Deputy Coroner O'Hanlon performed
an autopsy on the upper part Of the
trunk to-day before the other part had
been found. He discovered two stab
wounds. one between the fifth and sixth
ribs and one between the sixth and sew
enth in the region of the heart.
There was also stab wound back of
the left collar bone that extended down
to the apex of the left lung. DR.. O'Han-
| Ion found a bruise on the left fore arm
| and under the right fore arm was a
confusion showing the shape of a heel
with the imprint Of hob pals like those
| in heavy boots. He found an incised
wound in the palm of the right hand,
which, he said was probably caused by
| the victim seizing the weapon with
which he was attacked. There was no
water or serum in the lungs. The
lungs were well filled with air There
| was knife wound two inches long In
| the apex of the heart corresponding to
the wound between the ribs. Numer-
Gus contusions We're also found on the
| body which DR.. O'Hanlon thinks could
| not have been inflicted after death.
| The doctor said the man could not
| have been dead more than thirty-six
hours. He calculated his age at thirty
five. Detectives are investigating the
case. The head and legs Of the body
are still missing. There Is nothing
about the remains by which the man
can be identified. The detectives have
taken to the morgue the relatives and
friends of every man reported missing
in the past few days, but thus far no
one has been able to identify the dead
| body.

WEsLEYAN COMMENCEMENT.
Baccalaureate Sermon Preached by Bishop
w. *. Ninde.

Middletown, June 27--The annual
baccalaureate sermon before the gradu-
ating class of Wesleyan university in
the absence of President Raymond was
preached at the Methodist church this
morning by Bishop w. x. Ninde of
Detroit, Mich. Prayer was offered by
university. The reading of the Scrip
ture was by Rev DR.. Henry Van Dyke
of New York city. Bishop Ninde took
for his text Paul to the Corinthians,
first chapter, thirty-first verse, THAT
according as it is written, he that glor-
ieth let him glory IN the Lord" He
said, in part:
Paul was led to write these words to
the Corinthians as the result of the
quarrel they had had among them
selves. He desired to point out the un-
speakable wickedness of their vain
glorious behavior. They had gloried in
their infirmities rather than in showing
disposition to glorify the Lord. In
this passage chosen as my text Paul
used a significant word, glory a
word which is in every ones thought
and on every ones lips in these later
days; but not one in a thousand has
studied the word to get its exact mean
ing. 1t is one of those significant words
of the Bible. 1t is a word that proved
an inspiration TO General Sheridan at
the battle of Winchester. The word Is
applied to our flag and it has patriotic
meaning.
ut is well to glory in art, religion,
and the march of Christianity, which
has elevated the classes, and in the
progress of scientific discovery, in the
force of the world. The world is full
of glory. The humblest person is the
equal of the millionaire in the enjoy
ment of numberless glories that God
has provided for his people. Constitut-
ed as we are we shall find the sum-
NIT of repose in Divine fellowship. The
moving force among the mobilized
forces of the world to-day is Jesus
Christine glory of the Christian life.
And the activities of the age demand
for success men of abiding conviction,
firm purpose and strong character"

CRISIS ArERrED AZ HONOLULU.
Report That the Japanese Contemplated
Capturing the Custom House.

San Francisco. June 27.-Advices
from Honolulu dated June 20 say:
Since the Philadelphia has been in
port weekly battalion drills have been
held. On the 14th the men from both
the Marion and the flagship were land
ed. While on the march to the drill
grounds an orderly brought an order
and the battalion return on board.
This action was taken, it is said, on
account of rumor to the effect that
the Japanese cruiser Maniwa would
land a force of men to take charge of
the Hawaiian custom house. The Jap
anese failed to act and it is believed
Admiral Beardslees prompt action
caused the Japanese captain to change
his mind
There are all kinds of rumors float
ing around" said Counsel Akimaya.
Zone ridiculous one was that the jap
anese steamers were to land men and
take charge of the custom house. An
other is that the Japanese cruiser is to
leave on Wednesday. That run1or is
also false"

New York, June 27.-The Anchor
line steamer City of Rome arrived this
afternoon from Glasgow after a thrill
ing experience with fire on board ship
which fortunately was quickly got un-
der control by the ships fire crew.
Captain Young reports that the CITY
of Rome sailed from Glasgow and Mo-
vile on June 10 with Sc saloon, 80 sec
ond cabin and $50 steerage passeng ars
and a cargo of general merchandise.
Fine weather was experienced during
the entire passage. On June "a the
steamer sighted twenty icebergs Of va
rious dimensions. At 2:30 p. m. on
Saturday in latitude 412S, longitude
1929 smoke was detected issuing from
No. hold Immediately forward of the
bridge. The chief officer went forward
to investigate. Before long dense vol
umes of smoke began to ascend from
No. hold.
The fire alarm was quickly sounded
and the ships crew beat to quarters
Meanwhile an officer was detailed to
notify the passengers who were on the
deck. The ships fire crew promptly re-
sponded to the captains call and in a
few minutes hose was stretched along
the deck engine room to No. hold
where the fire was raging. Steam and
water were quickly turned into the
burning compartment and at D. IN.
the fire was under control. Further
precautions were then taken to prevent
the possible spread of the fire to the
adjoining compartments.
Another detachment of the crew
was ordered to stand by in case of
emergency mad streams of water were
kept constantly pouring into the burn
ing compartment and on the main deck
in the immediate vicinity of the fire.
The cargo in the burning hold consist
ed of jute goods and the general cargo
will probably be a total loss. Captain
Young is unable to assign any reason
for the cause of the fire, but it is sup
posed to have been cause by sponta-
neous combustion. The City of Rome
proceeded at once to her dock after a
brief inspection at Quarantine. The
exact nature of the amount of damage
cannot be ascertained until the steamer
matches are taken off and the cargo
discharged.

IN IMPROYED CROSSING.
A Fine Piece of Work on Fair Haven and
WestYille Road.

A fine piece of railroad crossing work
was done with dispatch yesterday on
the Fair Haven and Westville electric
railroad, under the supervision of En-
gineer Punderford. The work was done
where the tracks of the street railway
intersected with those of the Consoli-
dated road at Railroad avenue, on
Grand avenue. The work was begun
yesterday morning and was practically
completed last evening. A large force
of laborers was employed in the work
which was witnessed by large crowds
of onlookers. Transportation over the
crossing by electric cars hereafter will
be much more agreeable to passengers
than heretofore, as the new arrange
ment for crossing does away with the
disagreeable jolting which has before
made this crossing rather unpleasant.
This is the only instance in the state
where the Consolidated road has per-
nitted a trolley car system TO cross it's
tracks. No ties are used, but the cross
ing is ingeniously effected by timbers
mortsed together.

IRIsR PoLIYICAL PRISONERS.
Belief That the English Government Will
Not Grant Them Amnesty.

Dublin, June PA meeting convened
to bring further pressure to bear upon
the British government to grant am
nesty to the Irish political prisoners,
now at Marlborough jail was held in
Phoenix park to-day. Considerable
surprise was expressed that jubilee
week had passed without the release
which had been expected.
Mr.. William Field Parnellite member
for the st. Patrick's division of Dublin,
in the course of fiery speech said:
"It is useless to look further to the Eng

The plans for Yale's 197th commence
ment show that they will follow some
what closely the lines of the last two
years. The procession with Its three
divisions, Q) graduates, (2) candidates
for degrees, and (3) corporation, facul-
ty, and invited guests, will form sepa-
rately on the college grounds, and,
united take a new line of march
through the archways of Phelps and
Vanderbilt halls, and back to Battell
chapel. AT the chapel the exercises
will begin with the singing of the sixty
fifth psalm-sung in 171S-address by
president, announcement of prizes, the
singing by fifty voices of the Gregorian
Latin hymn, set to music by G. w.
Chadwick of Boston, and the comforting
of the regular and honorary degrees,
the latter in each case prefaced by a
presentation speech by Prof. G. P.
Fisher. The number of regular de-
grees this year will be the largest in
the history of the university, some $50,
of which approximately 275 are for
bachelors of arts, 1877 bachelors of phi
losophy and 105 bachelors of law.
There is realized this year, as never
before at Yale commencements, the
need of an auditorium large enough at
least not to make the commencement
exercises pretty exclusive. Graduating
classes and returning graduates have
fully doubled in numbers, while accom-
modations at the exercises have re-
mained much the same as of old. Bat
tell chapel seats perhaps sixteen hun
dred people, of whom at least six hun
dred are friends and relatives Of the
graduating class. The demand this
year for tickets, therefore, is three or
four times the supply, and, so far as
the chapel exercises are concerned, they
are for the benefit of a necessarily
privileged few.
The corporation will meet tomorrow
morning, and some new appointments
will probably be announced.
The annual report on the alumni uni
versity fund, bringing it down to June
Is, 1897, shows that during the last year
there was paid in S9.71S, or sos more
than during the previous year. The
total receipts since the fund was start
ed in June. $780, have been s66, 444 and
net receipts S64951. of which $3,715 has
