ANOTHER STORY HAS
A DIFFERENT VIEW.

Pekin, Nov. 14.-It was learned to-
day from a trustworthy source that
Japan is dissatisfied with the progress
OF the negotiations between that coun-
Try and Russia. The Japanese Palia-
meht meets Dec. 5, and the government
OF Japan desires to be able to report
that 1t has reached an agreement with
russia, as, otherwise, the opposition
party is certain to attack the ministry
violently demand war with Russia
ana perhaps, tnhame public senti-
lUeht to the war point.
1t is pointed out that the negotia-
IONS have dragged recently. The
..'panese claim that the Russian tao
S TCs nave been dilatory throughout.
ne Japanese consequently express the
opaihlon that the object of Russian
Euey has been to gain time to rein
tIiCe the army and navy of Russia in
r r,.s far East so that she might be
prepared for a possible war.

May Have Been Murdered or May
Have Killed Himself.
New York, Nov. 14.-Rev. Joseph Cir
ringoine, pastor of Catholic church
in Williams Bridge, is missing, and the
police are endeavoring to locate him.
Recently he had been very active in
suppressing vicious Italian resorts, and
in consequence he had received sew
eral threatening letters. He became
so annoyed that he reported the mat
ter to the police on Wednesday. On
Thursday he was the recipient of a let
ter which contained a threat that un-
less $4,000 be paid by Friday night he
would be removed"
Last night, it is claimed, two men
representing themselves as detectives,
called and enticed the priest away from
his house. Father Cirringoine had
been warned by Capt. Foody not to
leave the house under any considera-
ton. Capt Foody and Detective Curry
called at the parochial residence that
evening, and the captain does not
countenance the story that bogus off,
GERS went there later. However, the
priest disappeared last night.
Capt. Foody says that in his opinion
the priest, his mind having probably
given way under the strain resulting
from too much work, had committed
suicide,

PENSION FOR NORMAN.
Georgian Who Served in the Mexi-
can War Wins Out.
BY r, M. Larner.


Washington, Nov. 14.-Because he
thought he was bigger than Congress
in the matter of a pension for Geor-
gian, Pension Commissioner Ware has
been overruled by his superiors in the
Department of the Interior.
The case was that of Thomas G.
Norman of Harris county, an old vet
eran of the Mexican War.
Congress, at it's last session, passed
bill introduced by Judge Adamson,
doing Justice 10 Mr.. Norman by cor
recting the official records of his mill.
tary service, and granting him a good
sum OF back pension money. The tes-
timony in his favor convinced the Pen
sion Committee of both branches of
Congress that his claim was a just one,
and the bill passed without opposition.
In accordance with it's provisions, the
Secretary of War granted the honora-
Bile discharge and corrected the records,
and then certified the fact to Pension
Commissioner Ware.
Despite this action of Congress and
of the SECRETARY of War, Mr.. Ware
again rejected the application, on the
ground that Norman had been dishon-
orably discharged from the service, and
added: 1T held that subsequent Iegis-
lation does not operate to change the
above status"
This action of Commissioner Ware is
declared by Assistant Secretary of the
Interior Miller who passes upon the
case, an attempt upon the part of the
commissioner to call into question the
constitutionality of an act of Congress.
Such action Mr.. Miller shows, is en-
tirely beyond the province of the COM
missioner of pensions. or of the Sec
rotary of the Interior. and also that
there was really no constitutional point
involved.
The policy of the department in ac-
cepting acts of Congress is stated in a
previous decision. as follows "EXecu-
tive orders promulgated by the Presi-
dent and acts of Congress are pre-
sumed constitutional. and will be so
regarded by this department until de-
clared unconstitutional by a court of
competent jurisdiction.
The pension money, which will go to
Mr.. Norman as the result of this Sec
ton, amounts to several thousand dol
lars.

THE SEABOARD
BY RYAN AND BLAIR & co.
If THEY PUT UP MONEY THAT Is

Parties Controlling IA Majority of
S. A. l.. Stock Have Asked Ryan
and Blair Il Co. to Make a Loan.
Ryan and Blair a. Co. Want the
Management If They COmply-It
Is Denied That the independence
of the Road Is Threatened.
New York, Nov. 14.-Concerning the
arrangements for financing the Sea-
board Air Line Railway Company ne
gotiations regarding which have been
carried on for several days, it was
learned authoritatively to-day that s..
Davies Warfield, president of the Con-
tinental Trust Company of Baltimore
and parties in Baltimore and Rich
mond owning and controlling a large
majority of the stock of the Seaboard
Air Line Railway Company, have re-
quested Thomas F. Ryan and Blair &
Co. to furnish the funds deemed nee
essary by the officers of the company
to complete the Atlanta and Birming-
ham extension and to take care of
the floating debt.
Blair & Co. and Mr.. Ryan have agreed
to furnish the amount asked for pro-
vided the management of the property
is entrusted to a board of directors
named by them.
1t is understood that the plans pro-
posed have the approval of President
John Shelton Williams and his asso-
ciates.
A banking house recently affiliated
with the Seaboard Air Line, in a. semi
official statement to-day, announced
that it did not approve the Ryan Blair
proposal. This house said it regarded
this latest development in the Sea-
boards affairs as a tentative plan, and
intimates that something might inter-
vene to prevent its contamination.
1t was officially said that state
ments to the effect that negotiations
were in progress or in contemplation
affecting the absolutely independent
position of the Seaboard Air Line sys-
tenn or looking to the entrance into
this property of Southern Railway in
terests, or of parties identified with
any other competing system are with
out foundation.
President Williams, of the Seaboard
Air Line, was at his office in this city
to-day in conference with some di-
rectors of the road. He refused to
make any direct statement regarding
the reported negotiations for loan.
Wall street understands that Thomas
F. Ryan, who was a factor in the Sea-
board Air Line years ago. is prominent
in the more recent developments con-
nected with the system. No confirl1fa-
ton of this was obtainable at Mr..
Ryan's office and the banking inter
ests most closely identified with the
Seaboard system would not discuss the
matter at all.
