This is the first genuine word that

was practically IN confinement and
Japan gave out the false statement
that an amicable agreement had been
made. his is now proven 10 be un
true. The agreement was made under
duress and at the point of the sword
but the emperor has at last succeeded

Accused the Railroads.

In explanation he said that there had
been a determined effort on the part Of
the opposition To direct public feeling
against the canal and that before he
entered the employ Of the government
his services had been sought by those
interests at more liberal compensation
than he is now receiving. When asked
TO name the opposition interests Mr..
Bishop specified the Nicaragua, the Te-
hauntepec and the Darien canals. and
Ventured the SuTmisc that the trans
continental railroads also were con-
cerned in the opposition TO the canal.
In reply To questions as 10 the activ-
ity OF the railroads he said that he had
no positive information that they We're
opposing the canal enterprise.

ter found the services of such agent Of

Frightened off by Woman.

A woman came into view on Second
South street and the fellow left the
boy and walked away, then stopped
and. as though determined to complete
his work, again approached BrOderson,
and the latter believes would have
again struck him had not several per
sons approached. At this the thug
walked rapidly away from the street
corner. which is poorly lighted.
The boy was found and assisted TO
street car No. 20, which was at the
depot From there he was taken by
one of the car crew to the White Cross
sanitarium on West Temple street.
Broderson recovered consciousness
fully within half an hour. The blow
had caused no fraIture or conclusions,
a large and small scalp wound on the
top of the head showing where the in
strument had landed.
BrOderson said his assailant was tai
and appeared 10 be wen dressed. he
was still too daZed from the blow al
