Message from Japanese Minister

Washington, July 31.-The Japanese Con- sul at Tien Tsin telegraphed on the 27th instant dispatch, dated the 18th, from the Japanese Minister at Pekin to the foreign office at Tokio, which had reached Tien Tsin by special courier on the 18th. The Minister says:
 'The Japanese marines and others con- tinue under command of the military at- tache of Tung Fun Siang's troops. I think we can hold out though the task is by no means an easy one, until we are relieved by the division of Japanese troops which, I hear through a special messenger, will arrive at Tien Tsin by the end of this month.
 'The Chinese have stopped firing since the 17th, and the Chinese authorities are apparently disposed to open negotiations.
 "Attache Kojima, Captain Ando of the Imperial army, H. Nakamura and five ma rines have been killed, while Narabara, second secretary of the legation, a student and six marines have been wounded, though not mortally. Many others have also been slightly wounded"

Body Will Lie in ! tate

Berlin, July 31.-The body of the late Duke of Saxe-Coburg- -Gotha will be con veyed tomorrow to the Mausee church at Coburg, where it will lie in state. The new Duke, who on July 19 was appointed a lieutenant in the Prussian army, and who for some time has been receiving mili- tary education in Potsdam, is for the mo- ment the guest of King Oscar of Sweden. He is expected to arrive here tomorrow He will attain his majority in 1905, and by the Coburg law passed in 1898 Hereditary Prince Ernest Won Hohenlohe- -Langenburg son-in-law of the late Duke, becomes the regent.
 The German press again discusses the undesirability of allowing a German sov- ereign state to become an English heir loom, passing from hand to hand. The National Zetung concludes it's article on the subject by telling the young Duke that it will depend upon him to dissipate all ob- jections made inside and outside of the Duchy to the succession going to Prince of foreign birth and education.
 It is said here that the death of Duke Alfred was due to intemperance, it being town talk in Coburg that he was habitually carried to his bed drunk with liquor

Young, "the league discharged the

days carly session was the passage
OF one amendment to the constitution
reducing the number of directors from
six to four. incidentally new board
was elected, and for the first time in
many years New York is represented
on the board. Andrew Freedman, the
local maSnate, was present at the cleo
ton. The new board now will consist
OF Soden, of Boston; Brush OF Cincin-

Freedman. of New York. The entire

The magnates unanimously decided
to do away with the custom of early
spring practice trips to the South.
The second session finished without,
anything of Importance being accom-
plished. The umpire question was dis
cussed thoroughly, but was put over
until the annual spring meeting. The
magnateS did not consider the play-
ers' demand for rehearing of their case
at the evening session. 1t probably
will be taken up tomorrow. At the
conclusion of the regular session the
members of the circuit committee held
another informal conference, but de-
cided to make nothing public.

sion for about an hour, word reached
the corridors down stairs that the de-
mands had been thrown out part and
parcel. There was a hurried conference
between Chief" thinner, Clarke Grif-
fifth and Hugh Jennings, representing
the players organization, with the re-
asking another audience.
The magnates received the note and
laid it aside for future action.
In discussing the refusal of the mag
mates to grant the original demands
made by the players. Clarke Griffith,
the Chicago pitcher, said:
There is mistake somewhere. The
League has acted upon the memoran-
dun presented to them after the con-
league has acted upon the memoran-
DUN Is too sweeping. 1t contained
much more than was discussed at the
conference.
II think the league will give us an
other hearing and finally grant our re-
quests. The players will die game.
There would be no effort on our part to
take away the places of the American

JIM-CROW CAR LAW.
Hon. John Z. Epps is anxious to as
certain the views Of as many citizens
of Richmond as possible concerning the
matter of separate street cars for the
two races.
IF the people there want separate
cars am prepared to offer the bill. and
] think it would be passed" said Mr.
I2pps. 81 have the bill already prepar
ed, but do not wish 10 offer it until
convinced that the people desire such
u law. In my opinion the provisions OF
the measure could be carried out With
out any great hardship to the street
car companies. They would probably
have to put on a few more cars. but
separate cars for the races would
operate TO the benefit of tho roads
especially on the Seven Pines and First
street routes"
