Mainland of Asia.
May Call on England and
United States to Arbitrate
Differences Unless China Ac.
cedes to Demand.

Toxic, March 6.-The Japanese
government, while maintaining the
firmest attitude concerning the seizure
OF the ship Tatsu by the Chinese at
Macao on February Z, entertain no
idea OF resorting to force for the re
covery OF the vessel. Possibly In the
event that China delays action Japan
will appeal to England or America to
act as intermediary in the matter.
In view OF the agitation against
the foreign Office instituted by the OPP
position, any indication of conces-
sion by Japan TO China would be ex-
tremely dangerous TO the present
cab!se; officials. The foreign Office
has assured the correspondents that
Japan would never declare war on ac-
count of such a minor incident. Never
.heless (. Is believed proper tha. Jap
anese vessels should visit the neigh
borhood OF the imprisoned ship.
China proposed arbitration by Vice
Admiral Sir Arthur William Moore,
commandcr-ln-chief OF the British
China station. but Japan refused these
overtures also and has warned the
foreign board that such proposals are
unwelcome.

TODAY TROOPS WILL
 WATCH OVER COURT.
Five Military Companies and
 Citizens After Night Riders.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 26.--What may happen this week as result of the investigation of Night Rider depreda- tions in the northwestern part of Ten nessee is a matter of conjecture. To- day with the convening of the circuit court for Ohio county, in special ses- sion at Union City to investigate the death of Quinten Rankin, who was killed by Night Rider band in the vicinity of Reelfoot lake, that region will be under the complete domination of military rule.
 Five companies of the state national guard will be at the disposal of Colo nel Tatom to enforce martial law, and 1t is purposed to gather in every mem Der of the band. To aid the militia the adjoining counties have been drawn on for armed bands of picketed men, Should this force be inadequate to cope with the situation it is de- clared that the entire military force of the state will be concentrated if neces- sary.
 Governors of several states of the south have approved of suggestion of Governor Patterson that confer ence of the executives of the different states be held and plans devised whereby they can act in concert in an effort to destroy Night Rider organiza- tions.
 Forty-four prisoners. including two women, were arrested as a result of the murder of Captain Rankin. In ad- dition seven others, including one wo- man, were arrested by the troops, but paroled,

HEARST READS LETTERS.
Doeunrsnts Addressed to Men on the
 Bench in Psnnsylvanis.

New York, Oct. 25.-William Ran dolph Hearst. addressing the Inde- pendence party mass meetings in Car negie hall and Clerment~rlnk, made further revelations of the alleged re- lations of prominent officials with the oil trust by reading several letters.
 The first letter as read by MT. Hearst was dated Dec. 5, 1902, addressed to Hon. William A. Stone, Harrisburg, former governor of Pennsylvania, and signed by John D.. Archbold. It read:
 My Dear Governor-I am sure you will pardon any. seeming presumption on my part inswriting you on behalf of my company. I am greatly inter ested. It Is to urge the appintment, fl at all consistent, of Judge Morrison of McKeen to4the supreme court bench, vice Mitchell, deceased Judge Nor. rison's character for ability and integ- rity needs no word at my hands, but aside from these great considerations his familiarity with all that pertains to the great. industries of. oil and gas in the important relation they bear to the interests of the western part of the state make him especially desira- ble as member of the court from that section |
 Judge Morrison now is on the su perior bench in Pennsylvania"
 Mr.. Hearst then proceeded to read correspondence purporting to have passed between Hon. John P. Elkin, Indiana, Pa, former attorney gen. eral,. and John D. Archbold. He read the following letter dated Sept. 2s 1899, and marked personal:
 1"'My Dear Mir. Elkin-- Responding tc your favor of Sept. N25, it. gives me pleasure to inclose you herewith letter of introduction from Mr. William Rockefeller. MT. w. U. Weaver to MT H. Mckay Twombly. We hope the let ter will be of service
 "Mr. Elkin now is supreme court justice."

 New York, Oct. 26.-George Robert son, winner of the Vanderbilt cup race, after defying fate in that nerve racking contest, driving his car at times seventy miles an hour, met with a, simple accident on his arrival in New York after the race and is now helpless in his room in the Victoria hotel, suffering from a sprained ankle.
 In stepping from his car to the pave ment he placed his foot on the edge of manhole and turned ylis right an kle.
 Its hard to tell just how one feels in race like that" said he. There is so much to think about you hardly realize how fast you are going. Close pinches? Well, yes. That one on the stretch just beyond the grand stand, when passed Salzman in the Thomas car, that was the clos est pinch of the race, so far as was concerned. When Salznan finally gave me the right of way and my car dashed past his machine there was probably one inch separating our wheels. Had tire burst on either machine at that moment it would no doubt have been all off with the occu- pants of both cars. r-. \ There is something so exhilarating about the whole thing. Your car seems human. It responds to every little touch, and you pin your whole. faith and trust on 1t. You feel it Is part of you, and you depend on it to carry you through to victory.
 ".The crowds flash by on every side like great blurs, and everything Is drowned in the roar and chatter ofthe engine.

Mrs. Gelshenen-B -Braker to Be a Witness.
SHE BECOMES INDIGNANT
Checks Drawn In Her Favor by Ono Time leo King. Will Bs Subject of In- quiry During Trial of tho Finaneier. Process Servers Find Her at Home In West End, Long Braneh-she Was Involved In Divorce Proceedings.

Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 26.-Mrs. Katherine Gelshenen-B Braker, the multi millionaire widow of the former presi- dent of the Garfield National bank, has been served with a subpoena to testify against Charles W. Morse, the. ex-ice king, now on trial in the United States court for alleged violation of the bank ing law.
 The secret service men intrusted with the service of the document found the wealthy widow in her home here. Although they fulfilled their duty as courteously as possible, she was indig- nant and, according to member of the household, seemed to hold the off, cers personally responsible for what she termed ''an outrage"
 Apparently she had believed that with the closing of the Dodge-Mo divorce proceedings and the subse- quent conviction of the notorious law yer, Abe Hummel, for subornation of perjury in connection herewith the annoyances to which she had been subjected by reason of the association of her name with Morse's had been ended.
 At the beginning of the proceedings now pending against Morse in the fed eral court here Mrs. Gelshenen-Bra- ker's name was mentioned, and checks drawn by Morse in her favor on the National Bank of North America were offered by the, district attorney in evil denee. These checks, showed that Morse had made many thousands of dollars for Mrs. Gelshenen in ice stock gambling. It Is to ascertain to what extent the funds of the depositors in the bank were misapplied to win that money that Mrs. Braker has been sub poenaed.

BOUGHT OFF THE BURGLAR.
An old Bankers Bargain With He g'| UnweIcoms Visitor.

VT Unwelcome Visitor.
 civilian Winslow Sherman, the old banker, had the coolest nerve of any man l know" said a man who knew him. Some years ago. when Sher- man was an old man and partially crippled by reason of fall from a horse, he entered his bedroom late at night to find a masked burglar ran- sacking 1t.
 '1The thief had big gun trained on Sherman in a minute. The banker just waved it aside with tired hand. Put that away he said irritably. let us discuss this matter like gen. tlemen.' The burglar was so sur prised he laughed. Now, you could hurt me if you wanted to and might get away with some little knick- knacks,' said Sherman. But you might be caught, and there's slight probability that you could dispose of my toilet articles profitably. What would you consider fair cash propo- sition to go awayY They talked 1t over in all peace.
 'The burglar thought he ought to have $10, but Sherman, after inquiring into the mans habits, said $8 was enough. You sec he said, you're a known thief. If this were your first offense, I'd pay your price, but now the police have your picture you ought to be glad to accept any fair compromise and run no risk
 "The burglar finally agreed to take $s. Sherman pulled out ten dollar bill. Give me g change said he. And he got 1t before he paid. ."-Kansas City Star.

American Humor.

American humor exists, it distin- guishes the national character, it per- meates all our affairs. It is not of aboriginal descent. It was not brought from England or Holland by the fa- thers. Its saving grace was lacking under Puritan rule. The humor of Diedrich Knickerbocker is all the more taking because of the absence of all sense of humor in the subjects of his chronicle. If our humor came over from Erin in the first rush of immi- grafton it was quickly adapted to its new environment. It was modified and changed by new circumstances and conditions, geographical. ethnolog- ical, atmospheric. Wherever it came from it is a boon which saves us from a lot of needless trouble and worry New York Times.

Why We're Ahead.

A curious explanation of the reason why Canada has but about 100000 people against Americas 80,000, ,000' is given in a review of the worlds pro- ductior of coal and iron. Canada pro ,duces but 5000 GOO tons of coal alagainst S70,o00,OO0 tons produced by the Unit ed States. and that is why. as long as the coal age lasts.
