Justice Victor ] Bowling and Charles W.

bench, were thrown into the street by the
overturning Of a hanson cab in which they
were riding at Lafayette and Eighth streets
at $50 o'clock last night. Justice bowling
escaped with a few bruises, hut Mr.. Dayton
was cut on his hands and arms. The timely
action of Sergt. Dominick Henry OF the Po-
lice Headquarters telegraph bureau, who
prevented the cab horse from running away
while the occupants were wedged helpless
in the cab window. prevented serious in
juries to both.
The cab was driven by John Oakley OF All

the stream OF TRAFFIC which is always pouring
through at that hour seemed .denser than
usual, and there was . long delay. Finally
the cabman jumped of his box to investi-
gate the cause Of II. His feet had no sooner
struck the ground b a a vehicle from be-
hind hit the hanson with sufficient force to
turn it sideways and brighten the horse.
The horse started to run with the reins
flying in the wind. Before he had gone
more than twenty-five feet the hanson
crashed into a truck and was bowled over
on its side, knocking the feet from under
the horse.
As the cab lurched over Mr.. Dayton was
thrown forward through the glass window
OF the cab, shivering the pane. Justice
Bowling was thrown against him Sergt.

himself upon its head. Other drivers hur-

FRANCE Is ANXIOUS
Over Possibility OF an Early Conflict BE
tween United states and Japan.


From The sun Correspondent at Paris.
PARIS, Oct. 25.-The news agencies have
from time to time lately brought word Of
the differences between Japan and the
United States in greater or less detail, in
timating that they might result in an armed
clash between the two countries. Greater
stress was laid upon the alleged strained
relations to-day on account of the resigna-
ton Of Midshipman Kitagaki from Annap-
oils, but aside from the news reports in
formation has reached influential quarters
here tending 70 indicate serious anxiety to
learn whether there is real danger Of an
early conflict between the Yankees OF the
East and West.
1t is quite possible that the condition
Of France in the present unsettled state
with a new Ministry just coming into being.
may account for the desire in powerful
and usually we'll informed quarters to know
all that may be learned as TO the Japanese
American relations; but whatever the rea-
son, it IL certain that the inquiries have
been energetic and persistent to-day, and
questions are asked not only as to super
fetal probabilities. but regarding the pos
sible ability OF Japan to withstand the
financial strain Of a war with the United
States.
The peculiarly happy relations OF Eng
land with the United States, Japan and
France add to the complications Of the
war problem, which the anxious ones are
contemplating. 1t is only fair to say that
sober opinion regards a war between japan
and the United States as ridiculously i'm
probable. but this feeling has not been so
strong as to prevent great and powerful
men Of France from taking measures to-
day to obtain the best possible information
rs to what the immediate future has in
store. The international amity between
Japan and the United States is expected
TO be sufficient to throw into obscurity
any momentary fret On which might be
encouraged for personal reasons by the
d dissatisfied elements, but il Is only just
in chroniclin 8 developments in the dIplo-
matte and political worlds to say that dis
cussion in the actively Interested parlia-
mentary circles in France has reaohed the
stage where the ability OF Japan to ra.se
a loAn and where England's friendsh p
for the United States and her influence as
the intimate adviser OF Japan have been
freely considered.~ -

PACKING co. FINED $4,000.
wins First Antitrust Suit Against
Hammond Company.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. 2S.-The State
won a victory to-day in its antitrust suits
against the packing companies when Judge
e. W. Winfield passed upon the motion
filed by the State that the answer OF the
Hammond Packing Company be stricken
from the docket and that the State DO per-
mitted to take judgment for $4,000 because
Of the failure OF the officers Of the COMPANY
to testify before the Commissioners in the
recent hearing Chicago.
Judge Winfield sustained the motion and
ordered that a fine OF $4,000 be imposed
against the company.
An appeal to the Supreme ,Court was
taken.
The packers hold that the section OF the
antitrust law which oompe!s corporation
officials to testify against their corpora
tons or themselves is unconstitutional.
Cases nave been brought against five other
packers.

HAVANA, Oct. PA duel with swords
was fought to-day by Eduardo Alonzo, a
writer for FL Mundo, and Ramon Mendoza,
a member OF the City Council, who resented
an attack made by FL MHHdO on the
Council in connection with the telephone
concession. Both the combatants received
slight wounds.
Another duel was fought by Capt. Poey
formerly an aide to President Palma, and
Manuel Secades, a lawyer, who is a prom
inent Liberal. The quarrel arose from
Capt. Poey's objection to Senior Secades
sitting at the same table with him in a res
taurant. Poey was run through the leg
and Secades was wounded in the arm.
There are now only two cases of yellow
fever remaining. 1t is thought that possibly
the recent hurricane blew away the mos
quitoes that were responsible for the spread
of the disease.
II il estimated that the total losses TO
British subjects and corporations by the
rebellion amount to S4OO, 900. This includes
the losses sustained by the Western, United

citizens, mostly small shOpkeepers, is esti-
mated at $500, 900. The total loss caused
by the insurrection is ~variously estimated
at from 81 500, 900 to 5000, 900.
