Next Co having difficulty with Statkus about observing specifications In- spector Cariin alleged that his greatest trouble was in convincing the defendant that he was wrong and had violated the law and should make the necessary correc- tons at once. If gtatkus ever ad- mitted that he was wrong, he would never take steps to remedy conditions.
 Judge T. VI. Meyer sympathized with the inspector in his troubles with Statkus and to impress upon the latter the propriety of respect ing the law imposed fine of $50 and costs. To save himself from jail the accused issued an appeal to friends. His s. o. S. was answered.

 Democrats will turn on their heavy artillery in the hope of re- beating their sensational victory in Michigan this month when they captured congregational seat which had not gone democratic in more than thirty years.
 Here as everywhere business men are wondering what the dem ocratic party will do in the house of representatives at Washington this winter. While Governor Roosevelt and other party leaders emphasize that the country's leglt- innate business interests have noth- ing to fear from democratic return to power, the conduct of the house democrats will afford evidence far more convincing one way or the other than anything party leaders can say.
 It Is felt among many through out the cast that the general ntti- tude of the Country toward the democratic party in 1892 will be colored to material degree by the way in which the house demo- crats deal with their new responsi- bilitics. ..

 About 5000 police were station cd in the Chinese and European sections of tho city and 15,000 Chinese Eastern railroad guards are read yfor duty. Of these about 10000 guards are actively patrol ing the railroad zone in the vicinity of Harbin.

 Two proposals for settlement of the Sino-Japanese situation al- ready have been taken up in pri- vate discussions among league council delegates and Ambassador Charles F. Dawes, who is repre- senting the United States.

 The second was for appointment of two Japanese Chinese commis- siony, one to work in Manchuria and the other in Europe.
 The Locarno proposal was for q treaty containing commitments re- gnrding aggression and invasion, based on the status quo of the ex- isting unequal treaties. China has repeatedly denounced these treaties and Japan has demanded their recognition.

 A "patchcd-up" accord by the league of nations council in Parts will not be acceptable to the gov- ernment, 1t was emphasized to-day.
 Japan will not tolerate restora- ton of the status quo In Man churja, which would mean the re- turn Of Marshal Chang Hsueh- Lihng to power as an ally of China.
 The only possible solution which can be reached In Paris will be for tho league council to recommend n settlement along the lines of di- rect Chinese Japanese negotiations in the Far East, officials said.
 Japan expects little from the private. negotiations outside the council. She has said her Hast word" in refusing 10 permit China to save her face" by a haif-heart- cd settlement of differences with JJapan.
 The foreign ofiice has continued secret communication with Eugene Chen, leader of the Canton inde- pendent government in China, who recently proposed a new Chinese regime which would meet Japan's demands in Manchuria. The cabinet was non-commlttal regarding suggestions at Paris for appointment of q new Chinese war lord to rule in Manchuria. Japan also was annoyed by the attitude of Soviet Russia, whose note reminding Japan of pledges not t0 molest Russian interests in Manchuria was delivered this morning. Officials still say they believe Russia is secretly aiding the Chinese, pointing out that the So- viet has sufficient influence 10 in- duce General Ma Chan-Shan to end his opposition to Japan.
 NEGOTIATIONS FAIL Mukden, Manchuria. Nov IT, UP)--Japanese officials said to- day that negotiations with General Ma Chan -Bhan's representatives for cessation of h0stilities in the Tsitslhar area had been disrupted. The break was due to "the in- sincerity of Chinese" In demanding that Japanese troops withdraw from the Nonni river sector prior 10 the withdrawal Of General Mas troops in the same area.
 The negotiations had been con- ducted by Liu Ting Hsuan. Chinese emissary, and Lieutenant Colonel MomOtake. Japanese representa- tive, at Harbin.
 Chinese officials said General Mas reply said:
 l--The Chinese troops stationed south of the Chinese Eastern rail- road vii be withdrawn north of the railroad providing the Japan nese soldiers simultaneously evacuate aII of Heilungkiang province and retire to the area beyond Tungpin, % miles south Of AnganchI.

to send troops south of the Chinese Eastern railroad if necessary to suppress banditry.
 The Japanese ultlmatum, expir- Ing November 2b, had demanded that the Chinese withdraw their troops to normal points, which would mean General Ma would abandon his concentrations in de- fense of Tsitsihar. Such action would open the way for Chang Hai-Peng to gain control.
 General Ma merely agreed to withdraw north of Anganchi. on the Chinese Eastern, 20 miles south of Tsltsihar.
