Japanese Minister Offended Because
the Diners Talked-Threw His
Manuscript ON the Floor.

NEW DIRK Feb. u.-Over $40 members
OF the Silk Association of America and
their guests sat down TO the ~twenty-ninth
anniversary banquet of the association at
Delmonico's tonight. The conspicuous
guest of the evening was the Chinese min
lister, WI Tingfang. When he reached the
reception room where the guests assembled
before the banquet he was surrounded by
many members of the association, who
joked him about his recent notoriety over
his letter of regret 10 the dinner given by
the Society of the Genesee. which General
Otis attended. The Chinese minister took
the matter good naturally. though he made
nc reply TO any of the sallies. The banquet
hall was gorgeously decorated with silk.
After Senator Thurston and Senator Gal
linger had spoken, Mr.. WI was introduced,
to speak to the toast. 9Th Youngest Great
Nation in the Eyes of the Oldest Great
Nation" Among other things, he said:
1T is a w~eil-known maxim that as a man
grows old he becomes wiser, and in my
country, especially, when a man grows
older he more respect. But al
though your nation is the youngest, 1 think
1 am justified in saying that it commands
as great respect as the oldest nation on
earth. You deserve this, not on account of
your age, but on account of your wisdom,
intelligence and enterprise. From this
country our country has much to learn.
You are for fair play, justice and right
eousness. When a nation has these things
it will prosper. 1t will be respected by all
nations, especially in the far East"
The Japanese minister. Mr.. Kogoro Ia
kahira, followed Minister WI. He began
TO read his speech in a very loud voice.
which commanded attention by its tone.
But before ne had read far he got down to
a singsong tone. which made a majority
OF the diners forget the speech and talk
among themselves. Half a dozen times
they talked and laughed so loudly thai
General Congdon had 10 rap hard for at
tention. Then the minister would break
out of his sing-song style and read a few
sentences in a clearer tone, but soon re-
become inaudible. The talking and laugh
ing continued, and the speaker threw down
his paper on the table, folded his hands
in front of him and. closing his eyes, stood
silent. For a second there was a quietness.
This was broken by a call for cheers for
the JapaneSe minister. They were given
with great vigor, but the recipient was
vexed and flung his paper down on the
floor. Senator Gallinger picked the paper
up and handed it to the minister. who was
persuaded to start again. He soon re-
talking and laughing began again. There
upon the minister flung the paper down on
the table and sitting down, would not
finish.

TILL DAY BEFORE FIGHT
IN THE CINCINNATI IN
JUNCTION CASE RESERVED.
Judge HOLSTER VIII Make Nc Ruling
UntfI Thursday-Arrangements
for the "MiH' Completed.

CINCINNATI, Ftb. 1.-THE hearing of
arguments by Judge Hollister on the appli-
cation for a permanent injunction against
the Jeffries-Ruhlin contest here next Fri
day night closed shortly after 6 o'clock to-
night. Judge HOLSTER announced at once
that he would reserve his decision until IL
a. m. next Thursday. He stated there
were so many exhibits and citations of
authority that he desired two days for the
preparation of his finding. This means
that the present suspense of the Saenger-
fest Athletic Association, Managers Brady
and Madden, the contestants and others
will continue until the day before the date
fixed for the contestt. All the arrange
ments at the big hall and elsewhere are
completed, and the sale of tickets continues
brisk.
The hearing in Judge HOLSTERS court,
which began last Tuesday. and the declara-
tons of the Governor, evidently do not af-
feet the demand for tickets. Manager
Brady was in court a short time this after
noon, but he is the only one connected
with the contestants who was there. Ed

the plaintiffs commanded the closest at
tention. Counsel for plaintiffs urged the
court to make a precedent for such ex-
traordinary cases. Counsel for the defense
replied bitterly to the purpose of invent
ing the precedent. The passes between
counsel to-day were very bitter. The old
riots of 1884 were revived by Harmon, to
which Bettinger and Wilson replied most
bitterly. The most remarkable address or
argument was by GuStavus Valid, who
closed, and who as a representative Ger
man insisted that he did not represent any
creed or class, but the best interests of
secular government. Most of the clergy
of this city were in the courtroom. Valid
turned to them when he said that neither
he nor any member of his family belonged
to a church and that none of his kindred
for generations have belonged to any
church and that he was opposing the prize
fight for the interest of the State.

ion that If the decision is not rendered un-
til Thursday afternoon IL would greatly
affect the attendance. as people from dis
tant points would hardly have time to reach
this city for the contest Friday night. They
will probably therefore decide at the meet
ms tomorrow to postpone the contest.

Cost of the War.

LONDON. Feb. 11.-Sir Edward Clarke.
the former solicitor general, following up
his speech of Feb. Z before the Holborn
Conservative Association, has written a
letter to a friend citing Lord Roberts's re-
lection of an opportunity to propose peace
terms in June, 1900. when General Butler
had prepared the way by conference with
Christian Botha, who asked what was
offered. Lord Roberts replied: "Uncondi-
tional surrender the privates to be al

Uses TO the commanders or TO any who had
taken an active part in bringing on the

'sThis," says Sir Edward Clarke, put an
end to all negotiations. So the war has
gone on. The losses since have been 124
officers and 1.454 men killed In action and
died of wounds: sixty-three officers and
1920 men oied of disease, and $50 officers
and 22,635 men invaded home. We have
spent from eco. 000.0 900 to goo 0 600 devas-

rule. We do not seem a day nearer 'un-
conditional surrender than seven months
ago." Sir Edward Clarke then says he
earnestly hopes terms acceptable without
dishonor will be offered to the Beers.

guilty OF contempt, to-day, and severely
punished. Mckenzie declined in two cases
to obey the writ of supersedeas issued by

session to the owner. Considerable evil
dence was introduced In an effort to prove
that a conspiracy existed between officials
at Nome to secure control OF valuable
claims. Mr.. Mckenzie claimed that he
was not guilty of contempt, because all
the papers kand orders issued by Judge
Morrow had not been filed in the District
Court at Nome at the time he was accused
Of disobeying the writs. Mckenzie was

HOLTON, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE crusade
against the j~ointists which was commenced
here Saturday was vigorously continued to-
day. The place owned by Mrs. Hicks,
which was raided Saturday, was open

and compelled Mrs. Hicks and her son to
sign a contract, drawn in legal form, that
they would never again sell liquor and that
the son will leave Hoton and remain away
for ten years. Later in the day all OF the
liquor that had been seized by the sheriff
and stored in the courthouse was de-

and the bar fixtures taken outside and
burned. Tonight the sheriff. accompanied

DISTRESS IN RUSSIA.
Many People on the Verge Of Starva-

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 1.-THE Minis
try of the Interior at last officially admits
that widespread distress exists in large
sections of the country owing to the fail
ure of the crops. An official announcement
issued to-day says there has been a COM
plete failure of the crops in the govern
ments of Kherson and Tomsk and the ter
ritory Of Smolensk, while similar condi-
lions exist in a number of districts of Bes-
sa Rabia, Kieff, Tobolsk, Taurida. Podflia
and the transatlantic territories. The gov
already has sent a million and a
half roubles for the relief of the sufferers,
and considers that five and a half millions
will be necessary to meet the requirements.
OF which amount five millions will be con-
tributed by the government. The minister
Of the interior appeals TO private charity
in aid of the government.
