WAR INVESTIGATION.
General Lee Had No Complaint To
Make of Jacksonville Camp.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 6.-The war
investigation commission held two ses-
sions today. In the forenoon General
II. V. Boynton concluded his testimony
and General Fitzhugh Lee was heard in
the afternoon. General Boynton dwelt
today upon the causes of diseases at
Camp Thomas, charging the increase
towards the close of the camp to a lack
of sufficient care on the part of the
.regimental and brigade commanders in
covering sinks.
General Lee detailed the conditions
prevailing at the camp at Jacksonville.
He said the site was a good one, sup
plies were plentiful, the men well taken
care of and he had no complaint to
make of the war departments treat
.ment of his command. He also took oc-
casion to reply to a question put by
Captain Howell to say he did not con-
slider he had been sighted in the war.
He wanted to go to Havana and the
president had recently told him hat in
case it had been necessary to take Ha-
vana by assault he had intended to ask
him General Lee to lead the assault

Order to Abolish the Queue Brought
About Present State of Affairs
None of the New Members Of the
Tsung-Li-Yamen Know Anything
of Foreign Affairs.

Washington, Oct. G.-Such informa-
ment here respecting the reported death
and assassination OF the emperor of
China goes to entirely discredit the
stories that he has been poisoned or
that he is dead. 1t is not possible to
say positively just what sources OF in
formation are available, but it is known
that they are regarded as entirely re-
liable to the state department.
Moreover the situation generally in
China is not believed by the depart
mental officials to be as serious as rep
resented and a signal mark of conf
dence is the decision not to follow the
course of certain European govern
ments in sending at this time a force
of soldiers or marines to Pekin. The
Boston, IL of the two American war
ships ordered to get as lear as pos
sible to the disturbance, will go as far
as the Taku forts, at the mouth of the
Pang-Ho river, where she must stop
on account of her drauglht. The little
gunboat Petrol, however, is expected to
go eighty miles up the hiver to Tien
jTsin and her steam launch might pro-
coed from that point as far as Pekin, If
necessary.
London, Oct. THE Pekin CORE
spondent of the Times, te%legraphing
on Tuesday, says:
The restoration of the regency is
complete. The empress dowager re-
ceives the cabinet daily, seated beside
the emperor openly, and not as former

more ~retrograde and reactionary,

ertheless. despite assertions to the con-
trary, the balance of power between the
Chinese and manchus in high office is
unaltered in the central government,
though there is a small proportionate
increase Of manchus in provincial
posts.
The Russians welcome the change
as increasing their influence. The i'm
mediate cause of the change was the
impending edict ordering officials to
abolish the queue and to adopt foreign
dress. A search Of the house of Kang

BATHED IN BLOOD,


Washington Courthouse, Ohio, Oct.
6.-Eleven years G Louis Ball was
.foully murdered here, his head being cut
off with a razor and his head and body
laid across the railroad rack in such
a name as to appear that he had been
killed by a train. Abraham Huffman
was arrested for the crime, but was re-
leased for lack of convicting evidence.
Others We're suspected, but it looks
now as if the deathbed confession Of
Mrs. Jeffreys of Hillsboro, Ohio. just
made in the presence of four persons
whom she called to her death chamber,
will reveal the identity Of the murder
err.
Mrs. Jeffreys implicated herself, an
other woman and four men, giving
their She said that she held
Balls head while a man cut it off with
a razor; that the blood was allowed to
flow into a tub, which was afterward
concealed under a house, and that the
other woman held Ball on her lap while
his head was being cut off. The men
carried the body and head to the rail-
read track to up the crime.
The persons implicated live in and
about the city. Detectives have gone
to Highland county for additional evil
.dence, and a big sensation is looked for.

Heavy Increase in American Exports
To Japan.

Washington, Oct. 6.-The steady and
rapid growth of our commerce with the
Orient is illustrated by a statement
just received by the treasury bureau of
statistics, showing the imports and ex-
ports Of Japan during the first half of
the present calendar year. This shows
that Japan's purchases from the United
States continue to increase with great
rapidity, while in many cases those
which she has been accustomed to
make from other parts of the world
are being reduced. Her importations
Of raw cotton in the first six months of
1898 were 1872, 064 yen in value,
against 3,S11 1928 yen in the correspond
ing months OF the preceding year. The
total importations OF cotton into Japan
In the half year amounted to 81, 7O2, 1868
yen in value, an increase Of a little over
1000, 900 e over the corresponding
months OF 1897, while the increase from
the United States alone was nearly g.

ton from other parts of the world,
while the imports from the United
States were more than trebled.
Our manufactures of iron and steel
seem to be especially satisfactory to
the Japanese, the increase in nearly all
articles Of this class being strongly
marked.
The finer grades Of American manu-
facture also to be finding special
favor among the japanese, imports of
American watches having increased
from 95,511 yen in the first half Of last
year to 1885, 900 e in the first half of
the pN rel year, while our own records
OF expectations show an increase in ex-
ports Of typewrfters. sewing machines
and other articles OF this class to Japan
in the fiscal yea just ended, as COM
pared with those of the preceding year.
To China our sales also show a graft
flying increase In many articles. The
total exports from the United States to
China in the month Of August, 1898,
were 81 .432, 112. against $77O.575 in the
corresponding menth Of last year.
