THE ATTITUDE OF JAPAN
COOPERATING LOYALTY WITH OTHER
POWERS IN CHINA.

London, June 13.-In regard to the reports
that Japan is about to declare war on China, it
was learned at the Japanese Embassy to-day
that the attitude of Japan in the Chinese crisis
is to cooperate loyalty with the European
Powers. In the existing situation Japan would
not be willing to any single Power take the
lead
The murder of the chancellor of the japanese
Legation at Pekng is regarded as likely to lead
to serious complications. but no decision has
been reached by Japan to what political
measures will be necessary to meet the stua-
tion.
Relative to the reports that the Japanese Min
lister at Peking is pressing for a recognition of
a japanese sphere of influence. to include the
provinces Of Che Kiang, Fo-Kien and Kiang- ST.
1t is pointed out that Japan has already obtained
a promise that the Province of Fo- Kien should
not be afenated, while Kiang-Si, situated at the
mouth of the Yans-Tse River, is in the British
sphere. Japan, therefore, is not likely to take
step which might be distasteful to Great Britain
whose interests in China similar to those of
Japan.

fWashfngton, June 18.-The Navy Department
has completed the preparation of a circular
calling for bids for supplying arnor plate and it
will be ready for issue as some typo
graphical changes have been made. For the
first time the Department has adopted the
policy Of classifying the arTnor called for in the
advertisement. Under the price heretofore pald

tIuction between the various grades of arTnor

a considerable saving can be effected by classify

is composed of arrnor of generally less thickness

ordinary Harveyized armor will serve Class 3

The present requirement is that the makers
must furnish arTnor Of q certain specified grade
The new circular contains important addi-
tion In that the armor makers are TO supply
armor Of the very highest grade. Under that
clause If there are improvements in production
tending TO enhance the quality Of the armor, the
contractors must give them to the Government
without extra cost The circular provides for
the reception Of bids for three specified quanti-
ties OF armor, and the largest quantity needed
IS called for at once TO test the ability OF the
Government to secure reduction Of price by
placing a large order.
The Ordnance Bureau has not yet been ac-
ouainted with the reported intention of one of
the great steel working concerns In the United
States TO enter into competition with the two
companies which have supplied armor for the
Navy heretofore. Ii is known to the Bureau

BRYAN REPEATS HIS VIEWS.
CONFERs WITH LEADERS IN CHICAGO
WANTS PLATFORM REWRITTEN

WANTS PLATFORM REWRITTEN.
Chicago, June 13.-William Jennings Bryan was
in Chicago to-day, and the centre of much political
discussion all Of it bearing may be done
at the Democratic National Convention next month
Mr.. Bryan scores of persons in course of the
day. He talked with Senator Jones', chairman of
the National Committee; ]. e johnson, head of
the Executive Committees; Charles "A. Walsh, secre-
tary Of the National Committee, and D. ]. Campau
National Committeeman of Michigan
The platform to be adopted at Kansas City and
the Vice-PresdentiaI question especially the
Towne-Populist nomination side of it, consd-
cred at some length. On the question of platform
the trend of discussion forecasted to extent
the differences of opinion which may arise at KAN
sas City even among loyal Bryan men.
The question is whether the money plank and
other troublesome egacies from 1896 shall be han
died by reaffirmation of the Chicago platform in
lump, or whether some planks of the 1896 plat
FORM and especially the money plank should be
the 1896 platform this year.
Senator Jones, according to credible advices, ad-
vocates reaffirmation of the Chicago platform
a whole and then quick transition to the newer
issues of imperialism and trusts
Mr.. Bryan said when asked what he thought the
platform and issues this year would should be:
say. I have said before many times. that
1 think the three big questions before us
tion Of course, includes question of silver and
of paper money; the question of imperialism in
@ Sationa Admnistrations alto work f in the Philippnes
and attitude the Boer question samples.
I believe the principles adopted in the platform
of 1896 adopted part of the party creed.
never to be departed from. l do not think they
should be or can be departed from this year. That
platform must. however, be added to, as new issues
arise. AS / do not expect TO be delegate to the
National Convention; l cannot presume to discuss
form In which these principles shall be stated
in the platform to be adopted there.
I cannot undertake to say what Will be the para
issue. No One thinks QueS
ton is the biggest and another man thinks
other is.
What do 1 think should be done in the Philip
pines? I think this country should tell those peo-
pie that there only for the purpose of es
tabshing a stable government, and that when
have done should turn the islands to
the people there and protect them against foreign
aggression, we have protected the South Ameri-
republics
The conditions ahead and the plan of campaign? I?
Why, the conditions more favorable than they
at this time In 1896. The Republican party is
the defensive 1t will talk prosperity, of course
but We'll be willing to take the votes of all the
people who have not had their share of prosperity
and leave them the votes of the people who have
had their share.
l should say plan of campaign will be to
carry every State in the Union Cannot carry all
of them? I wouldn't speak harshly of the
people of any State as to say that thought the
people there intended to support the Republican
party.

FIREPROOF DWELLING HOUSES.
NUMBER OF THEM BUILT OFFICE
STRUCTURES ARE

The fires which have resulted fatally in the
Pulitzer, Raymond, Andrews and Adams homes
have called particular attention the part of
builders TO the construction of absolutely freproof
dwelling houses. Among the best examples of this
kind Of buildings may be mentioned the four Amer-
can basement dwelling houses Nos 90l. 303 800 and
3O7 West One-hundred and -feth-st.. which have
been erected by Hamilton NJ. Weed. OF No. 2,5S5
Broadway.
These houses are constructed Of the same ma
teraI the modern reproof office buildings In the
business of the city Their floors Of steel
beams with arches of fireproof material a mode of
construction which precludes the possibility OF fires
from defective f1ues, which is said to be origin of
80 per cent of the fires. The partitions throughout
are of three inch ireproof blocks The style of
architecture borders the Frencn colonial and the
employment OF terra Gotta and Harvard brick give
q free and individual character TO the fronts.
These houses stand In marked contrast to the
brick shell and wood filled fire traps which X has
often been customary To place before the seeker
for ready built house.
