that it would reach our readers on
Xmas day. The forms were made
up on Tuesday and everything
was ready to "go to press" but
the perverse Fate usually presld-
ing about the festive yuletide Cor
the Southern Express Co. J set our
plans at naught by delaying the
weeks supply of paper, which did
not arrive until Wednesday. OF
course it would have been unrea-
sonable 10 expect our force to

this issue is a few hours late, in
stead OF day ahead Of time as
was intended.

YOKOHAMA, June Z. via Victoria, B. c.,
June 21.-After a month of political and
partisan crises, a Cabinet has at last been
formed by Count Katsura, who for a long
time has been at the head of the War De-
partment, and who distinguished himself
as one of the leading generals la the Chino
japanese war. His premiership not only
gives general satisfaction, but IL is also
looked upon as significant of a radical con-
dition in the present situation. His Cabinet
is made up of what are called the younger
statesmen" and il is looked upon as a
signal for the passing OF the leaders who
have heretofore been identified with the
new life of the empire. The famous group
consisted of Ito. Inonyo. Matsuketa, Yama-
gata, Okuma and Saigo, and il is predicted
they will no longer be at the helm of af-
fairs. The cause OF party government has
also been remanded TO the rear, the first
experiment in that line having proved a
most lamentable failure The new Cabinet
is entirely independent of party affiliations
and will have 10 stand on its own feet. 1t
will practically have a majority behind IL
in the upper house, but in the lower il will
soon encounter the savage opposition of
the party of which Marquis Ito is at the
head. and which holds numerical power
there.

murder case came in to court tonight and
reported that it had found the defendant
guilty Of murder in the first degree, and
had fixed his punishment at life imprison-
ment in the Michigan City State Prison.
When asked by the court if he had any rea-

had nothing to say.
The murder of Officer Samuel Cooper took
place on the night of Oct. "a last at South
Bend, in the rear of a saloon, just after
Louis Jaquith and partner had robbed the
place and had been detected by the police
man. In the exchange of shots between

would die and Cooper survive. the police

ASSASSINATION in JAPAN
HOSHI TORU STABBED BY MAN
WHO GLORIED IN HIS DEED.
Statesman Who Once Represented His
Government at Warrington
Crime Due to Politics.

YOKOHAMA. June 21.-Hoshi Toru, who
minister of communications in the
last Ito Cabinet, was stabbed to-day at a
meeting of the City Assembly and died
shortly afterwards. Hoshi Toru was
japanese minister at Washington and was
formerly president of the House. The as
sassination is supposed TO have been due
to politics. The murderer is a man of about
fifty years of age. occupying a good social
and public position. He declared the blow
struck in the interest of the country.
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-The services
here of Mr.. Hoshi Toru. minister, lasted
from 1896 to 1898. Before coming here he
was prominent in the politics of his own
country, and on returning TO Japan he be-
came a member of the Cabinet serving as
minister of communication His official life
in Washington and at home was marked
by Vigor and decisiveness, and these char
acteristics brought him much enmity in
certain political circles of japan. This re-
suited in charges affecting his integrity as
compromise his associates by the contro-
versy he rendered his resignation and be-
gan libel suits against his detractors. Feel
ing ran high over the affair, and the assas-
sinatior is probably due to this. Mr.. Hoshi
leaves a widow and one son, the latter nine
years old. He was forty-eight years of
age. and. besides his prominence in poll
tics, was a student and man of literary
accomplishments.

PITTSBURG, Pa, June 21.-The Post, to-

the officials of the United States Steel
Corporation to consolidate the National
Steel Company with the Carnegie Com
pany, and thus do away with the National
Company altogether, is said now to be the
first of a series of moves of this nature
that will be made in the near future by
the steel trust. The American Steel Hoop
Company is said TO be the weakest part Of
the United States Steel Corporation and it
would only be natural for the United States
Steel Corporation to attach the concern as
a whole to the Carnegie Company and
have its management directed from the
general offices. There is said TO be another
equally important movement under way
which will result in the merging of the in
