made a strong to induce D. L.
Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal In

JAPAN'S PROTEST.


Secretary Sherman's Note About the
Hawaiian Islands Not Accepted.
WASHINGTON, July l0.-Japan's atti-
tude toward the annexation OF Hawaii
will be more fully made known to the
state department soon. The note
written by Secretary Sherman in an
swer to the japanese protest against
annexation has not been accepted by
the Toxic government as refutation
of the claims, and the reply which Mr.
Toru Hoshi, the Japanese minister
here, will send to the secretary of state
will express the dissatisfaction with
which the contentious of the United
States are viewed. No inkling con-
corning the arguments advanced to
counterfeit Mr.. Sherman's representa-
tions will be given at the Japanese
legation, where Mr., Hoshi continues
to assure those who inquire about the
position Of his government that Japan
has no designs on the Hawaiian islands,
Granting this, there is no doubt that
Japan will not allow the islands to be-
come part Of the United States In ac-
cordance with the provisions Of the
treaty now before the senate without
a struggled purely diplomatic strug-
gle in all probability, but one that
will be full Of spice and perhaps some
display OF feeling. The situation be-
tw'er the Toxic and Washington gov
ern@ents has not improved, and the
differences over the question at issue
may lead to sensational rupture.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The proposed

The WILLIE SELLS Case HEARD.
The Kansas State Board OF Pard0ns Has
Taken the Matter Under Amusement
"A Hanging to BE Made a
Festival Occasion.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July DR. l.. A.
Berger, one of the most prominent and
popular physicians Of this city, was
shot Yesterday afternoon by John
Schlegel, grocer at 80! East Eight
eenth street. lie lived only ID min
utes and was conscious but few mo-
ments- just long enough to learn that
he was MORALLY wounded. The shoot
ing occurred at the busiest hour OF the
afternoon just before four o'clock, and
in the public street at one OF the most
crowded corners, Twelfth and Walnut
streets. The cause was jealousy on the
part of Schlegel-apparently an insane
jealousy built upon fabric OF the
imagination. Schlegel says that he
killed Dr. Berger because the latter
committed rape upon Mrs. Schlegel
last November. He did not kill him
sooner, he says, because he wanted to
make inquiries and find if he would be
justified in taking the doctors life.
The story of criminal assault upon
Mrs. Schlegel is discredited by friends
of the dead man.
THE WILLIE SELLS CASE HEARD.
TOPEKA, KAN, July 9.-The state
board of pardons is hearing evidence

cation of Neosho county citizens is

The entire day Thursday was taken
up in the hearing Of evidence. The
people who live where the crime was
committed and are familiar with the
details are opposed to the pardon OF
Sells. The board has taken the case
under advisement.
A FIESTA AND A HANGING.

CONTRACTS INVALID,

Assistant Attorney General Smelling Says
Many Made by School Boards Won't
Hold.
Topeka, Kan, July 9.-Assistant
Acknowledgement Smelling rendered an
opinion of great Importance to the
patrons of public schools in Kansas,
and one which, if carried out, will
cause endless litigation for the
book trust. The opinion was
written in response to a request
from County Attorney Frank Ham
ilton, of johnson county, and in effect
it declares that all contracts held by
the trust with school officers OF cities
of the first and second-class and all
counties where county uniformity was
not adopted as prescribed by law, are
invalid and cannot be enforced.
He holds that the only thing board
of education or country school board
could do under the old law was to
adopt books for the time for which
the members were elected to serve as
school officers and that set OF officers
could not make contract OF that
kind that would be binding on its
successors. The assistant attorney
general said there We're two ways to
proceed to break such contracts. One

To relate the history Of Isham G. Harris

the history Of the state Of Tennessee Tor the

he Is between 70 and 50 years OF age, winch
would place the date Of his birth in 1917 or lsie'
His birthplace was in Coffee county, near Iul-
lahoma, and there he passed his boyhood with
his parents. 1t was in ls49 that Harris, then
81 or 81 years of age, was first elected 10 con-
gress. The young congressman soon obtained
recognition In body distinguished for It's
able men and served with satisfaction to
his constituents both in this and the next
congress, to which he was easily elected. Al
though nominated for third term, he de-
clined to run again, deciding to remove to
Memphis. In 1857 he received the democratic
nomination for governor, being the first west
Tennesseean to be accorded this honor, and
was elected. In 1859 he was again elected, his
whig opponent being John Netherland

THE TARIFF BILL.


WASHINGTON, July 10.-Opinions diff
fer as to the length of time the tariff
bill will be in conference, ranging all
the way from week TO a month. Sem
ator German thinks 1t will certainly
be in conference two and perhaps
three weeks, He bases his opinion
upon the fact that the bill as 1t stands
and as 1t passed the house
will not produce, for a year or
two at least, sufficient revenue to meet
the needs of the government. The con-
ference will, therefore, be called on to
find the necessary means to make up
the deficiency bill. This will require
estimates and figures from the treas
ury experts and they take up time,
New propositions that will be offered
will take more time for estimates of
the probable revenue they will afford,
The very best opinion, however, in
clines to the belief that the conference
will be concluded within ten days

President McKinley's first annual mes
sage is notable for being state paper writ
ten in plain, direct language whose mean
ing cannot be misunderstood. The usual
confusing summaries of department reports
are omitted, and in their place there Is an
Illuminating discussion of public affairs of
leading prominence. At the outset the
President takes for granted that the tariff
question is well settled for the present, and
that we have now only to wait for the coun-
try TO receive the full benefit of the new
law. Two subjects take precedence of all
others in the message. These are the cur
rency and the Cuban question. The Pres
ident's views on what it is necessary and
expedient to undertake in the way of cur
rency reform had been accurately fore
shadowed in the press dispatches. He
points out with great clearness the difficult
ties under which the government now
labors in maintaining our entire volume of
5000, 900, 900 of currency at par with gold,
as it is bound to do. The remedy which
he suggests in the way of initial legislation
is simple and businesslike. He asks that
if the revenues are found to be insufficient
Congress shall authorize the secretary of
the treasury to sell short-time gold bonds
bearing low rate of interest, and that, as
