ENGLISH FIRED ON RUSSIANS.
Trouble Between the China Grabbers-
Other Eastern News.


London: A sensation has been caused
by rumor from Plymouth that the
English admiral has fired on Russian
man-of-war in Chinese waters. Moth
ing is known as TO the rumor at the
foreign Office or the admiralty.
The London papers publish also the
statement that England is pressing
China to declare Port Arthur free
port. 1t Is supposed that the presence
of British warships there is intended
TO insure freedom of access for trading
vessels.
1t is reported that China has given
consent to Russian surveys for rail
way TO Port Arthur as branch of the
Russian Trans-Manchuria railway, and
not mere extension of the Chinese
Tien-Tsin railway.
The arrangements with Russia for
the guarantee loan are actively pro-
ceeding, and when completed the Rus
slams on the plea of supervising the
collection of the land tax, will obtain
the right to enter every yamen in the
empire.
1t is officially announced from st.
Petersburg that NJ. Kuril Alexeiff has
been intrusted with full powers to
promote the development of the com
mercial relations between Russia and
Korea, in competition with British and
Japanese influences and to aid in furth-
ering the prompt construction of the
projected orthodox church at Seoul. :"
M. AleXiH is the representative of Rus
sia who was placed in charge of the
Korean customs after McLeavy Brown,
the British representative, had been
removed from the position at the insti-
CATION of the Russian government.
This practically gives Russia super
vision of the Korean finances.
The German missionaries at Tsao-
Chow, province of Shan-Tung, having
reported that the commandant of the
Chinese garrison of the town had used
threatening language toward them,
Baron Iieyking, the German ambassa-
dor at Pckin, demanded that the com
mandant be dismissed at once. Nal
treatment of German missionaries was
what led to the recent seizure Of Kaio-
Chau by Germany. The firm demands
Of Baron lleyking caused considerable
alarm among the Chinese officials IN
Pekin.

Judges. Association Meeting.

>4 The fifth anpual meeting of the AS
tsocihtion of Judges of Michigan was
held in the supreme, court room of the
capitol ut Lapsing.L The annual ad-
dress of President George S. Hosmer,
of Detroit, was n review of legislation
enacted since the last meeting. The
act allowing suits to be brought against
any voluntary association of five or
more by service on any officer was com
mented upon and commended. Judge
Hosmer regretted that the divorce law
did not allow the bringing in of an alb
sent defendant by publication only
after it became apparent that personal
service of an order to appear could not
be had. In speaking of class legisla-
tion President Hosmer mentioned the
sugar beet bounty law and quoted
Judge Cooley as against these bounties.
The act to prefer eX-soldiers for public
employment was considered at great
length and it was said that while
there are few men who will deny the
claims of the soldier to public consid-
Grafton, yet his claims should be en-
forced through public opinion, not
through legislative action, and it is
doubtful whethe it is competent for
the legislature to direct the local au
thority beyond requiring peculiar quail
ifcations to insure fitness.
The program included papers on "A
Legal Anomaly Justice Hooker of
the supreme court: 1.-The Pardoning
Power and its Limitations" Charles l..
Rarden, of Greenville; Experiences
Upon the Bench" Judge +. A. Burlin-
game, of Grand Rapids
Considerable discussion was caused
by n paper by Justice Edward Cahill,
of the supreme court, on THE Bench,
as Viewed from the Bar" Judge Cahill
severely criticised the jury system as
ruptibility of jurors was recognized,
and jurors have to submit TO an es-
pionage which no self-respecting Judge
would stand for day. Men with
neither education nor experience for
their work are selected by lot. The
attorneys do their utmost to befog the
jury, and the judge cannot marshal
the actual facts for the instruction of
the jurors, and Judge Cahill said
either the old practice of judges giving
their opinion rs TO the facts should be
reinstated, or trial by jury should be
abandoned. The discussion showed
Judge Cahill to stand alone. Justice
Montgomery and Judges Daboll, Peek
and Hosmcr, as well as several practi-
TONERS, all defended the jury system.
Judge NJ. V. Montgomery reviewed the
history of the bench of Michigan.
The judges elected the following ofii-
GERS: President, Erastus Peck, of Jack
son; vice-president, A. c. Adsit, of
Grand Rapids; secretary, Il. II. Person,
of Lansing.

Two Violent Deaths at Monroe.

Two fatal railroad accidents occurred
at Monroe in one day. Eli Cooley, a
well-known character, was struck by
a Michigan Central train and was so
badly mangled that death resulted
shortly afterwards. His right arm
and limb were severed close to the
trunk and his head badly bruised. He
was about 55 years old and leaves a
widow and a large family of children
in poor circumstances.
The other unfortunate was j. Smith,
of Detroit. He was found dead In the
yard of James Roberts. The supposi-
ton is that he was riding on a freight
train and either fell off while asleep
or jumped off and received severe in
jury which disabled him and he
crawled to this house, which was but
few feet from the track to get assist
ance. No one was at home and the
man was unable to gain from exposure.

Rismnrck StiII Lives.

The following printed in a London
paper as dispatch from Berlin was
flashed all over the world and created
considerable excitement: 1.-The one re-
mark on the lips of everybody is, Bis
marcl1 is dead Although expected
for months, the event has caused a
great shock. 1t is the sole topic of
conversation in the hotels and cafes.
Later advices showed the report TO
be absolutely untrue. Prince Bismarck
is suffering severely from nervous
troubles, gout and insomnia and while
he cannot live great while there is
no apparent signs of his passing away
soon.

Pension Attorneys Denounced.

U. :. Commissioner of Pensions II.
Clay Evans makes a sweeping and COM
prehensive denunciation OF pension at
torneys as class. He says: "The
most demoralizing feature of the pen
sion system is the existence of $4,000
pension attorneys. The ordinary pen
sion attorney is worse than the most
pestiferous 'varmint' that ever invaded
"a hen roost. If there are frauds on the
pension rolls they have been planted
there by the pension attorney" The
commissioner is considering a plan TO
do away with these attorneys and have
the persons appointed to look after
cases directly under government super
vision. The result would be great
saving to the veterans and the govern
ment and liability to frauds would be
reduced TO a minimum.

The port of Havana is TO be opened
TO expectation again. The port was
closed by Capt Gen. Weyler's edict of
May IA, 1896, for the purpose of cutting
the tobacco industries of the United
States, particularly those of Tampa
and Key West, off from their supply
and thus to paralyze those Cuban col
onies of the United States, which was
becoming the fostering strength that
made the insurgents formidable.
There are about 20, 900 bales of tobacco
now cholIed in the warehouses of
Havana ready to be shipped TO the
states the moment the port is opened.
The present crop is also promising.
