TO CONTROL NEXT HOUSE
ALLEGED TO BE THE PRINCIPAL
AIM OF THE DEMOCRATS.
Representative LOudenslager Says
That Every Indication Points
That Way.

Today was a very quiet one at the head
quarters of the republican congressional
committee in the Normandie. Representa-
tive Loudens,ager was in his Office all day,
but there were few visitors from states
which are being looked after by the MEM
bers OF the committee In this city.
Whatever reports We have received" said
Mr.. Loudenslager to Star reporter today
Indicate that there Is a general feeling Of
satisfaction over the country with the ad-
ministration. My own judgment is that peo-
pie are not going to be led away from the
main issues of the campaign by any theo-
retical issues. The administration will be
judged by the record 1t has made
What do your reports from Maryland in
dicate?'
THE reports we receive from Maryland
Indicate that the republicans there will be
united, and that a large number of men
who were formerly gold democrats or tariff
men will work and vote for the republican
ticket The attitude of Senator Wellington
will not affect the general result in the
state. according to the best Informed men
who have expressed an opinion on the con-
ditions there.
Every indication that comes to me is that
the democrats are bending all their efforts
to control the next House of Representa-
ttves, and that they are making the presi-
DENTAL election a secondary matter"

Mr.. TAKAHIRA ARRIVES
JAPANESE MINISTER DISCUSSES
CHINA's CONDITIONS.
Doubts Reports That His COuntry's
Efforts Have Been Hampered
by OtheC Powers.

Mr. Kosoro 9akahEa, the new japanese
minister to the UnitM States. who arrived
in WashingtoT yestaF,lay, discussed today
the conditions it chlAa and the prospects
for a campaign. N
Mr.. Takahira said that he had been try
ing since his arrival n the United States to
catch up with thegH news developments
since he left Japan ahree weeks ago. and
that he was not In good position to i'm
part Information. In general way. he
said. It might be stated that japan, II
needed. could throw one-half of her army
OF 10000 men into Chfna, but it hardly
seemed probable that this would be done.
According to his, latest advices Japan
purposed sending between 1900 and 25.OOO
men as her quota Of the international force
to China The Japanese government. he
said. had ample facilities for transporting
Whatever troops might be needed. The
the government have an aggregate tonnage
OF about 100000 twenty transports al
ready have been requlsitioned. and Mr.. Ia
kah1ra said that the Japanese division
could be landed at whatever point was
deemed BEST and in such quantities as were
CONSIDERED necessary by the commanders
now cooperating in-China-
Japan Not Hampered.
Regarding the suggestion which frequent
~ mas been male in this country that Japan
was pelnS nampered In her Chinese opera
lions by some of the other powers interest
ed' the minister said that this was not his
understanding, and he was inclined to re-
sard such stories unfounded.
Ihere had been the best of feeling be-
lweeh the Japanese troops engaged in
Gnina and the other nationalities, and the
oapanese mad already proved in the fight
at zen 1sln that they were on hand and
could be depended upon whenever the al
lies aecloed on movement. 1t is quite
possible the minister said, that Japans
part IN the Chinese operation would have
peen larger had not the outbreak of the
boxers developed so swiftly. Japan was
acting simply for the protection of her own
and other foreign subjects in China and
might have rushed powerful force into
Pekin had the gravity of the situation been
realized before the Boxers seized and de-
stroyed the lines of communication
Mr. Takahira said that he was not
charged with any commercial treaty work
at present. as the new reciprocity arrange
1nent between Jaran and this country was
adequate Tor present necessities. 1t was
quite possible, he said. that the develop
ment In trade during the next few years
might make further reciprocal arrange
ments necessary.
rms Is not the minister's first visit to
the United States. He was in Washington
from lS'9 to 1888, was afterward consul gen
erai at New York up to 1898.
ne presentation of Mr.. Takahira at the
White House will probably be made this
week.

CHICAGO CHINESE CELEBRATE,
Police Compelled to Stop a Noisy and
Weird Demonstration.


Weird Denomination.
CHICAGO, August ALI Chinatown yio-
lated the anti-noise ordinance last night
with a native celebration. The police at
midnight were finally compelled to put a
stop to the ceremonies. The celebration was
brought about by a document received
from the Chinese of San Francisco setting
forth comforting news Of the situation in
the native land.
At o'clock the Chinese residents began
to assemble in their gala costumes Those
familiar with South Clark street were as
tonished at the number of Mongolians who
came forth from the oriental stores and
down from the apartments of the rich resi-
dents at the lower end of the colony
Many of the Chinese have secluded them
selves for the last few weeks, fearing vio-
lence at the hands of the American popu-
lace. but the good news received from their
countrymen dispelled the irregular mis-
givings and they gave full vent to their re-
lieved feelings. All the influential members
of the colony were present. The scroll re-
ceived from San Francisco was produced
and read. According to one Of the promi-
nent members of the colony the Chinese
have been informed that the Boxer re-
bellion Is being quelled and the legations
protected. After the reading of the manu-
script the terrible changing of gongs opened
the celebration. and the noise steadily in
creased In volume. The Chinese. singing
and shouting, worked themselves into great
excitement, and an immense crowd. attract

eral times. The police were finally noti
fed, and they ordered the Chinese to cease
their deafening noise and disperSe.

CHICAGO. August 1.-Gold and stock
tickers gave no Chicago board Of trade
quotations on grain and provisions today.

bucket shops had to depend on other means
to secure the quotations. Instead Of Chi
cago grain quotations the tickers handled
the fluctuations Of the New York. Mime

kets. Local commission houses with board
OF trade connections were supplied by the
new Cleveland Telegraph Company. which
is under contract with the board of trade
to handle Its quotations exclusively in Chi
cago and to furnish them only to bona fide
commission houses.
The Milwaukee exchange was supplied
with Chicago quotations directly over the
wires OF the Chicago and Milwaukee Tele-
graph Company. and the Detroit chamber
OF commerce was supplied by one Of its
members having a seat on the Chicago
board. The Kansas City and st. Louis ex-
changes did not blackboard Chicago quota
tions. but used the prices Of tho New York
market.
The shutting out Of the bucketshops and
many outside markets apparently did not
have much effect on local trading.

c. Woodward as the health officer Of the
District, the Commissioners have suspended
the one made by the board Of Commissioners
July 2S 1894, which limited the term of
the health officer to three years. In sus-
pending the order of July 2S 1894, the Com
missioners placed the health officer in the
same position as that of the great majority
of District officials. such as the collector
of taxes, the auditor. the chief of police.
and other heads of departments who serve

The resembling of the order fixing the term

compliment to DR.. Woodward, who has
filled the office for six years, and it is un-
derstood that the Commissioners intended
to so compliment him. DR.. Woodward's re-
appointment takes effect today.
