JAPAN NOT PLEASED
HER REPLY TO THE NOTE O !
SECRETARY SHERMAN.
the Situation In Regard to Hawalla
Annexation Declared Such that Un
pleasant Developments May B *
the Result at Almost Any
Moment.
Serious Friction Ahead.
Chicago , July 12. A special to th
Times-Herald from Washington saya
"There hi serious danger of diplomati
friction between the United States am
Japan over Hawaii Although thi
reply which Japan has made to Secre
tary Sherman's note concerning thi
intentions of this government ha
been received , the state departmen
holds it in secrecy. It is known , how
ever , that the reply is not as amiabh
as had been hoped for.
"The reply of the Japanese govern
ment is of such tone and there ar
such suspicious movements of certair
Japanese warships that the adminis
tration is afraid Japan may be meditating
tating some coup de force in Honolulu ,
It is understood that in their reply the
Japanese still contend that they have
equal rights with the United States in
Hawaii , and that the attempt of the
United States to annex the islands
without consultation with Japan is a
breach of good faith.
"One thing is certain , and that is
that no matter which way the diplo
matic negotiations turn the adminis
tration does not propose * to be caught
napping. If the Japanese make a
show of force at Honolulu , with or
without an announced intention of de
manding that the Hawaiian govern
ment comply with the demands for
reparation , which were submitted
some time ago , this government will
lo the same thing. No one need
be surprised if the warships of
the United States and of Japan frown
> n one another in Honolulu within
; he next two weeks. War is not ex
pected by any member of the Wash-
ngton government familiar with the
'acts , but it is admitted that mobiliza
tion of naval craft at Honolulu would
je sufficient to produce a hazardous
iituation. Already there is a good
leal of animosity toward the United
States on the part of the Japan naval
'
imcers and an.overt act on their part
night precipitate a great 'deaf of
rouble.
"During the last ten days the Navy
iepartmant has made special prepara-
ions of a quiet sort for mobilization
i our naval forces on the Pacific at
Ionolulu should the turn of diplomacy
aake such action necessary. * '

o the cereal and other crop prospects
nd disturbance in industrial lines due
o the strike of about 120,000 bitumi-

fest Virginia operatives to join in the

THE YOUNGERS SCOREE
Teller Banker of the Xorthfleld Ban
Objects to Their Pardon.
St. Paul , Minn. , July 1. The enl
individual protest of importance sofa
made against the pardon of the tw
Younger brothers is from A. E. Bui
ker , general manager of the Wester
Newspaper Union , who wa teller c
the Northfiold bank in Septembei
1876 , when they raided it. Mr. Bunke
says :
"I was teller of the bank at the tire
and witnessed the attack upon Mi
Heywood and now carry a scar cause
by a bullet wound through my shou
der , inflicted by Charley Pitts , one c
the gang. It seems to mo that stat <
ments of reputable citizens of Nortt
field , made directly after the rate
should be entitled to as much credenc
as statements made by Cole Youngei
twenty-one years after. Younger'
present story contains many mit
statementft and omissions. He a1
tempts to shield Frank and Jess
James , while seeking liberty himseli
He would have us believe that ho wa
at Northfleld on that eventful day fo
the purpose of preventing the boy
from killing law-abiding citizena Thi
citizen who followed the four robber
to the bank was J. S. Allen , and In
was first to give the alarm on the ou
side. He was not ordered to stop bj
Clel Miller , but told to 'Git. Don'
you holler , or I'll kill you. ' Allci
• got , ' but 'hollered. ' If Cole Younge :
told Miller or Styles not to shoo :
cither Allen or Wheeler , no one els <
heard him.
"Cole Younger did not go to the
bank door and tell 'the boys' to hasten
out until after Miller aud Styles were
both killed and he himself was
wounded ; and he came to the banl *
door only once , just after I had beer
shot by Pitts. What Younger said
was : 'Better get out , men. The
game is up. They're killing all oui
men. ' Those in the bank needed nc
second invitation/ they were baf
fled in their attempt to get the funds.
"The idea of Cole Younger sparing
Dr. Wheeler's life by considerately
liming above his head and 'shooting
out a pane of glass' is ridiculous. He
ivas not so solicitous for the protection
of the defenseless Swede , Anderson ,
ivhom he shot down in cold blood and
jf whose murder he pleaded guilty
tvhen - arraigned at Faribault. The
statement of Cole that he 'tired into
; he corner of the building on Bridge
> quare to frighten people away , ' etc. ,
"
s iinbecilic Manning was oa that cor
ner , and was there for business. Very
ioon after Manning's appearance the
sngagement became general and
iverybody was shooting to kill. More
; han thirty shots were fired at Man-
ling and others on the corner , ana it
s miraculous how they escaped injury.
Che fact simplv shows that the rob
bers were excited and were no better
narksmen than Manning and Wheeler.
"When ex-Governor Pillsbury was
olieited to grant a pardca to the
foungers several years ago , he re-
died :
" 'When I think of the murdering
> f poor Heywood in cold blood and of
he unprovoked assaults on other law-
biding citizens of Northficld , to say
lothing of other crimes .committed by
hese men , 1 do not think they will
ive long enough to pay the penalty ,
cannot interfere. ' "

STATE SCHOOL LAW
SALE OF' THE SAME STOPPE
BY THE NEW LAW.
l'eraons Careless In Paying Beat to 1
Cut Off Thousands of Acres of Land
In Different Parts or the State
to Be Leased to New Parties.
To Drop Many Delinquents.
During the next three or four montl
Commissioner J. V. Wolfe will cane
and lease over again 100,000 of sta
school lands which have been he !
under lease contracts and on which tl
holders have failed to pay the rent :
moncj- agreed upon. The commi
sioner has sent out reports to tl
several county treasurers and new
papers in counties where the cancele
land is located.
The board of educational lands an
funds is the real power which ordei
the cancellation when the terms <
contract have not been complied witl
and the commissioner is the office
who enforces their oi'dcr. These pul
lie school lands originally comprise
two sections out of every congressioni
township , Xos. IC and 30. Up to th :
time the law has allowed the lands t
be either sold outright at prices fixe
by appraisers , a minimum limit bein
fixed below which no lands Avere to b
sold , or they could be leased at G pe
cent of their appraised value. Th
money arising from the sale of th
lands went into the permanent schoc
fund of the state , while the rente
money for leased lands went into th
temporary school fund.
The permanent school fund is by la
kept intact , and only the interest arh
ing from the securities in which it i
invested can be used , and this revenu
goes annually iuto the temporar
school fund. The amount realize !
from all sources for the temporar ;
fund is apportioned among the countie
of the state semi-annually in proportioi
to the school population of eacl
county.
The revenues arising from the renl
of school lands for several years hav <
been growing less and less by reasoi
af the fact that holders of leases de
faulted in the payment of their rent
which is due in Julv and January o
3ach year. The present administra
Lion has been pushing the collection o :
this rent as far as is practicable , ant
las made a good showing in th (
imount of money which the state wa ;
iblc to turn over in the June appor
Jonmcnt , the largest which was evei
listrjbuted among the schools of the
itate.
The policy of the board is not to pusli
; hc cancellation where the holders are
ictual oecupauts and have been unable
,0 meet the payment by reason of fail-
ire of crops or other like misfortune.
Che recent circulars sent out recite
hat the notices of delinquencies and
brfeitures have been sent out by the
iredecossorof the present commission-
ir , and under the law txie board of ed-
icational lands anel funds will be com-
idled to order the cancellation at a
ime fixed by law.
After the 8th of July there will be no
aore sales of school lands or contracts
o sell it by the state of Nebraska ,
e Inst legislature passed an act to
his effect , and those holding contracts
/hich they want to turn into deeds ,
iving them the title in fee simple , are

hange. Applications of this kind ,
ovcring over 20.000 acres , have come

A FREEZE-OUT GAME.
Plan Decided Upon In Regard to tl
Home for the Friendless.
The state officials , sayti the Lincol
Journal are not ready to announce
plan of action in the home for tl
friendless matter. Gov. Holcomb , 1
the appointing power , who has selectc
a new set of ofllcors for the home , wi
probably give some advice , but tl :
officials desire to keep the plan of a
tion secret until the new law goes inl
effect. It is reported , however , tlu
the plan of action has been agreed o
and in short is to he 11 game of frcea
out , for the present at least. The stal
authorities propose to shut off supplie
and refuse to honor vouchers from th
home. This plan includes no attemj
to take possession of the home. Th
state authorities expect to lie low an
let the society of the home for th
friendless have all the plea/rare the
can get out of undisputed control , ir
dueling the payment of all expenses.
This plan will probably be met b
the society with a mandamus suit t
require the proper state officers t
honor vouchers elrawn on the apprc
priation made last winter by the legte
laturc. Four years ago a similar sui
was commenced and while it was pent !
ing the society received considerabl
support from auxiliary societies fron
all over the state. Support was loyall ;
given them by men and women wh
knew of the society's needs and th
same is expectcel now. The societ ;
has some means , however , in the fern
of real estate , but whether there i
much ready cash on hand is not gener
ally known. A mandamus suit is ex
pectcd to properly raise the constitu
tionality of the new law which take
the home from the society and place :
it under control of state officers. Mem
bers of the society will claim that tin
society is a chartereel organization
and as such is a trustee of specia
trusts , the same principle involved ir
the old Dartmouth case. As trustee
the society Avill claim the right to hok
the home and use gifts , donations ant
state appropriations as special trusts
as long as such trust is not abused.
The deed to the ground on which the
present home stands was executed bj
Mrs. Franklin and husband to the
state for the "use and benefit * ' of the
home for the friendless.
TltKASUIlKP. MESHRVE.
Threats of J. W. Fullerton to bring
an action in court to be released from
the state treasurer's bond are lightly
regarded at the treasurer's office. Mr.
Meserve regards it as a bluff made for
the purpose of preventing the state
from suing on a depository bond of the
Jefunct Merchant's bank of Lincoln
which some of the Fullertons signed.
Treasurer Meserve's friends are of the
aninion that he would not care if all
[ lis bondsmen withdrew their names ,
is he has very little state funds in his
seeping and could easily give bonds in
proportion to the amount that comes
nto his office.
Mr. Meserve denies the statement of
T. W. Fullerton that he agreed to give
fullerton $15,000 as a deposit for the
Merchants' bank. Mr. Meserve says ho
vould like to see the color of any
nan's hair who says any banker was
iromised a state depositin return for
foing on the official bond.
