NEW YORK, September 25.-The
Mazet committee took up to-day the
subject of contributions by judicial
candidates for campaign expenses and
examined several of the judges Of this
county. The witnesses who had con-
tributed all the way from $4,000 to
$4,000 each for the purpose indicated,
were unanimous in saying that the
fact had no influence upon them in
their judicial capacity. AS to the pro-

sion of opinion, though the majority
expressed a Willingness to bear a pro-
per proportion of the cost of election.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
Gen. Otis Has Sent an Explanation of the
Situation in the Philippines.


Situation in the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, September 25.-Sec-
rotary Root has received cable mes
sage from Gen. Cts regarding the
Chinese situation in the Philippines.
He says that the ship load CT 700 can be
landed without any serious Interior
ence with military operations. Gen.
Otis discusses at considerable length the
subject of Chinese in the Philippine
Islands, and the dispatch was referred
to the State Department, where it was
made the subject of conference be-
tween acting Secretary Hill, Senator
Davis, chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, and the Chinese min
lister.
A settlement of the general issue be-
tween the two governments respecting
the admission of the Chinese to the
Philippines was not attained through
this particular incident which was con-
sidered and disposed of solely on its
own merits The Chinese will be
landed but without recognizing the
right of the Chinese government to de-
mand this. On the other hand the
Chinese government while permitting
the men to land do not in any manner
concede our right to apply the Chinese
exclusion law to the Philippines and
stand by the principles enunciated in
the formal protest which was made
last week by the Chinese minister
here, against Gen. Otis action.
The result of the conference between
acting Secretary Hill, with whom the
War Department had rested the re-
sponsibility for the decision, and Min
lister WI is set out in the following
official statement:
"The Chinese from Annoy, on the
steamers Esmeralda and Salvadora,
about one half of them being previous
residents of the Philippines, have been
permitted to land, owing to he'special
circumstances of the case, on the prom
Use of the Chinese consul general at
Manila that no more Chinese will leave
Chinese ports for the Philippines unless
qualified to land under the War De-
partment regulations
1t was stated that the Chinese min
lister was satisfied with this action in
this particular case, although as al
ready stated, he does not concede the
right of exclusion generally.
The War Department regulations re-
ferred to in the above statement are
supposed to be contained in the order
made by Gen. Otis year ago. declaring
the Chinese exclusion laws to be In
force in the Philippines.

THE YAQUI WAR.
Conditions Are Growing Worse In
stead of Better The Whole Coun-
Try in Fermant.

AUSTIN, Tex, September 25.-Judging
from the reports reaching here to-day
from Ortiz, State of Sonora, Mexico, the
Yaqui indian warfare is rapidly growing
worse instead of abating. Lieut.. Majeran
has arrived at Torres on his way TO the
City of Mexico, to make official reports as
to the progress of the campaign. He says
there has been no cessati in the warfare
waged against the Indians by the Mexican
government. He reports that the Indians
have scattered into small bands and are
now vigorously waging guerilla warfare
and that the Mexican soldiers nave ADOPTED
similar tactics.
Dozens of skirmish fights have resulted
in number of soldiers and Indians being
killed and several miners have lost their
lives. Many of them have deserted paying
mines in order 10 save their lives. The
entire country tributary TO the uprising
is in a state of fermentation and the ma
tives are leaving as rapidly as possible.

SENATOR HANNA
Did Not Agree to Recognize the Street
Railway Mems Union.

Special TO the Register
CLEVELAND, o., September %
Senator Hanna did not agree to-day to
recognize the union of his street rail
way employees. The strikers committee
and one or two of his own men were
in conference with Hanna and Super
intendent Mulhern. about an hour.
When the conference ended Mr.. Hanna
refused to discuss it with newspaper
men.
Secretary Pratt, of the Big Consolid-
ated strikers, said:
THE Senator was pleasant, but our
visit was not wholly satisfactory. We
did not directly ask him TO recognize
his employees union. and he did not
say whether he would or would not.
Our purpose was mainly to learn his
attitude toward us. We did not ask
Mr. Hanna for any support, and he did
not say to us what course he would
pursue concerning the union of his own
men,"
Pratt said that Hanna was not asked
whether he had received the strikers
cablegram while abroad. There is no
doubt that he did, though Pratt said.

ARRANGEM ENTS

NEW YORK, September 25.-Active
preparations are in progress on the
ships of the squadron of Tompkins-
vile for the naval parade. The fly
ing machines are being made immac-
ulate. 1t is not likely that any visi-
tors will be allowed on board after
Wednesday.
Arrangements for the squadrons
representation in the land parade
have about been completed. The exc
cutive officer will be in Command of
each ships delegation of seamen.
There will be three full companies
from each ship now off Tompkins-
vile, except the Texas which will
have two companies. There are 81
men in each company.
There will be a full battalion of four
companies of marines. The New York
the Brooklyn and the Massachusetts,
wild each have company. The fourth
company will be made up of men
chosen from the guard of the other
ships. Major Murphy, of the Brook

lion of marines and Lieut.. Mathews, OF
the Brooklyn will be his adjutant. 1t

where she has been ordered to report

Cartmen's Union the Only One That Has

HAVANA, September 25.-In spite OF
the efforts of the leaders. a general
strike tomorrow seems inevitable. The
only union that has not decided TO join
is the cartmen's union. but it is eX-
pected that the cartmen will go with
the rest. The strikers are confident OF
winning. They say they have with
stood the blockade of three months du-
ration and after that there is nothing
to fear.
A manifesto has been issued by the
general committee, calling upon all to
help the movement. The various laun-
dry establishments are closed and it is
impossible TO get laundry work done
a very serious matter in Havana
1t is not known how long the strik-
ers can hold out They say that even
if they lose they viii have struck blow

the laundry establishments is verit-
able God-send TO the dry goods stores,
as people are literally driven to buy
extra linen. Senior Lacoste. the mayor,
is endeavoring 10 protect some OF the
laundries. with a view 10 keeping them
in operation. but it is impossible TO ex-
tend this protection 10 anything like an
adequate number.

row will he without bread, owing TO the

LONDON. September 25.-The Off
Gals OF the foreign Office this evening
gave out the text of the letter of the
Secretary of State for the colonies, Mr..
Chamberlain, to the British high COM
missioner in South Africa, Sir Alfred

British reply expresses regret that her
Majesty's offer, No. 5. of September

THE object Her Majesty's govern
ment had in view in the recent nego-
tiations has been stated in manner

tons less comprehensive than those

thus made, coming as it does after
