AGAINST AMERICANS.
Being Placed Under Japanese Juris-
diction Does Not Please the
Foreigners.

= Yokohama. April Correspondence
Of tire Associated Press.)-The feeling of
alarm among the foreigners with regard
to their being placed under Japanese jur-
isdiction has increased by the recent de-
cision of native court in the case of the
Kobe water works company involving a
sum of nearly half a million yen.
The decision was given against Mr..
Morse of the American Trading COM
pany, who had sued the water works for
non-fultillment of the terms of a loan
made by him to the water works.
Among the Japanese themselves there
is going on a healthy discussion as to
the character and competency Of the ma
tive judiciary. This has been stimulated
by the report of the government commits
sion recently sent abroad to investigate
the standing of the American and Euro
pean courts The conclusions of the COM
sion are that Japan's judges must be
better paid and given a far higher social
standing before the nation can hope to
place it's courts upon a par with those
of the Occident.
In financial affairs the past week has
witnessed a sharp and sudden fall in
Japanese securities. The railway stocks
We're the chief sufferers. The rates of
interest rule high and the principal
banks are Offering seven per cent for six
months deposits and five and one-half
per cent on current accounts.
There is much uneasiness in the air.
chiefly on account of the course of for
eisr trade. Imports UP to the middle Of
the month exceeded the exports by fcrty-
four millions of yen, or about $22, ,000, ,0O0

CHAMBERLAIN PRESIDED.
LIBERAL UNIoNIsTs PASS A VOTE
OF SYMPATHY.
England is Determined to Prevent Re-
publics From Becoming Nur-
series of Conspiracy.

Birmingham, England, May 11---Mr
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies, presided this evening at
the annual meeting of the grand COM
mittee of the liberal unionists of Bir-
mingham, the occasion being his first
appearance here since the outbreak of
the war. The meeting was held in the
Birmingham town hall. the approaches
to which We're thronged. An immense
audience greeted Mr.. Chamberlain, who
was accompanied by his sons.
Resolutions of sympathy with Mr. and
Mrs. Chamberlain in their recent be-
reavement the death of Mr.. William c.
Endicott, was adopted and in expressing
his thanks Mr. Chamberlain said:
II would not be asked to take the
whole responsibility for the war, but if
there was any special responsibility it
rests with those who misled Mr. Kruger
and who encouraged him to resist de-
mands whose moderation had been ac-
knowledged. If England has erred, she
has erred in being too lenient."
Turning to the question of conditions
of affairs in the South African settle
ment and the fate of the republic. Mr..
Chamberlain said:
1T is premature to discuss details. but
am quite ready to take the opinion Of
the country, and above all the opinions
of those self governing colonies which
have come so magnificently to our assist
ance. While the government does not
wish to be vindictive, it is determined
that never again shall the republics be
a nursery of conspiracy and they will
see that justice Is done to those who are
determined to be loyal. The government
is not prepared to recognize the inde-
pendence of the Boer republics tcheers);
and we are determined that the repub-
lies shall be finally Incorporated under
the British flag.
For an interval they must be a crown
colony, such as India is; but we hope
they will eventually become a great self
governing colony like Canada and Aus
tralia."

PAPAL DELEGATE TO MEXICO.
Opposed to Bitter Warfare Against
Everything American Waged
By Clergy.

City of Mexico, May 12.-The report
from Rome that Archbishop Avaradi, the
papal delegate to Mexico is to be made
the first diplomatic representative of the
Roman pontificate to Pekin, excites much
interest here in ecclesiastical circles. His
mission here was not wholly successful
owing to lack of cordial relations With
the higher ecclesiastcs and his evident
purpose to make the church more cosmo-
politan by bringing in foreign priests and
he was also opposed to the tendency OF
the clerical press to maintain bitter
warfare against everything American
France has for many years claimed the
sole right to act as protector of Catholic
missions in China, and has resisted the
desire of successive popes to establish di-
plomatic relation with Pekin. 1t is be-
lieved at Rome that the presence of a di-
rect representative of the holy father at
Pekin may lead to the conversion Of
members of the Chinese imperial family.

WANTS CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
One Murderer Who is Really Insane
and Insists He Is Guilty.

Chicago, May 12.-"I plead guilty and
want to be hanged" announced Law
renee E. Walsh when he was arraigned
before Judge baker, charged with the
murder of Robert w. Gilchrist. This is
capital case and I want capital pun
ishunent inflicted. l killed that man and
therefore l am guilty.
Take him back to JAIL said Judge Ba-
ker.
Walsh is believed to be mentally un-
balanced.
Judge Baker sent for Assistant States
Attorney McIIwen and it was decided to
let the plea of the prisoner rest for a
few days. 1t is likely the court will en-
ter a plea of not guilty for the defendant
and that Walsh will be tried as to his
sanity
On the morning of March q Walsh shot
and killed Robert w. Gilchrst, barber
at 1854 West 22d street, without cause or
provocation, it is said. Some years ago
Walsh fell and injured his head severely.
He was i'll for several weeks, but appar-
entity recovered. During the Spanish
American war he enlisted and went to
Cuba. He was i'll with fever there and
returned home. 1t was noticed by his
friends that his mental condition was i'm

SALISBURY'S SURPRISE.
HIS SPEECH AsToNISHEDB BRITISH
PUBLIC AND PRESS.
He Deserted Policy To Such An Ex-
tent Many Think He Was Men,
tally Unbalanced.

London, May 12.-(Copyright, 1900, by
the Associated Press.) )-Lord Salisbury
addressed the members of the Primrose
league on Wednesday, but the drift of
his meaning has not yet filtered into the
British minds. The remarkable utter
ances of the premier on that occasion
continue to form the sole topic of CONVEX
sation, though editorial writer's quickly
gave up the attempt to analyze for the
benefit of the public the numerous fea-
lures of the speech and We're well nigh
staggered into silence by its battling un-
expectedness and the multiplicity of the
issues it contained. 1t was deliv-
cred when the nation expected exactly
the opposite kind of remarks. To i'm
p1ore his countrymen to awake to the
perils constantly menacing their great
empire and it's existence at the very mo-
ment when long period of patient wait
ing had been replaced by jubilation over
Lord Roberts successful advance, was
an expedient so utterly bereft of the first
principles of politics, especially consid-
ering the approach of the elections, that
some of Lord Salisbury's own supporters
believe he was almost Off his head When
he spoke.
Not content with this, he pulled down
every pretty fabric that had been built
around the queens visit to ireland, calm
ly comparing the present efforts to at
tain home rule to Boer conspiracies and
hostility. And this after the queen and
every leading member Of Lord Sails
bury's own cabinet anu party had been
at particular pains to bury the Irish
hatchet Moreover, the whole tone of
the speech lacked all those formalities,
reticences and yelled illusions as to what
the English people have been accustom-
ed since the days of Pitt and Palmerston.
Lord Salisbury hitherto had religiously
followed such precedents, but on We'd
nesday he spohe to the public as he
might to an intimate friend after dinner.
So amazing and SO interesting has been
Lord Salisbury himself, as revealed this
week that the. broad-and from the
standpoint of other nations, the far most
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. feature of the
speech has passed almost unnOticed.
Were the premier Of any other European
state to get up in these times of wars
and ru1nors of wars and urge the people
of an eminently commercial race TO ac-
custom themselves to the use Of firearms
and to establish rifle clubs in every city,
village and hamlet. there would run
through Europe such shiyer of fright
and such. vivid anticipation of hostile in
market prices would drop by decades
and mobilization plans would be at the
finger tip of every war minister.

TO SETTLE LABOR WAR.
FIRST PRACTICAL STEP rs TAKEN
IN CHICAGO.
Final Terms to Be Determined-Mayor
Harrison Has New Plan
to Same End.

Chicago, May pa conference which is
regarded as the first practical step toward
a settlement of the labor war was held
last evening between the attorneys for
the Building Contractors Council and
representatives of the unions involved in
the tie up of the building industry.
Though the meeting was informal and
preliminary it was without results. Men
participating in it expressed the opinion
that it had smoothed the way for negotia-
tions that would effect hasty termina-
tion of the strife.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors. The union men present We're E.
A. Davis. for the Hosting Engineers,
George w. Geary for the bridge and
structural workers; VIM. Martin for the
stationary engineers; Luke Grant, for the
carpenters, Gus Hoyt, for the plasterers
iron workers.
Attorney knight, representing the
building contractors council informed
the labor men that the contra ctors We're
willing to confer with the representatives
of the individual unions and arrange for a
settlement of the trouble regardless Of the
building trades council, final terms of the
settlement with regard to the building
trades council to be determined after
ward.
The only stipulation was that the par
ties to the conference should not be pres
ent as representatives of the central la :
Dor conference.
More conferences will be held soon. II
the sentiment for mutual Cancellation
continues 1t may be expected that as re-
suit of the peace negotiations joint arbi-
tration committees both from the bosses
and their locked-out workmen will be call
ed dtogether and will effect an understan nd :
ing which will make the labor war a thing
of history.
Meanwhile Mayor Harrison is bent on
making another effort toward bringing
labor war to close. His new plan to
bring the contestng sides together con-
templates the ignoring Of the building
trades council and building contractors
council for time.
