WASHINGTON , Sept. 28. At the Japanesl
legation today no oulclal confirmation of tht
reported Japanese Invasion of Manchoorlt
and the reported decisive victory of thf
Japanese near Mookden , the capital of tin
Chlnesn province , could be obtained , but thf

by the' ' Japanese that an Inviulon at Man

WASHINGTON , Sept. 2S , Mall advices r
rdvpd hero from China from sources cap
dally credited , ot a data early In August , a
almost prophetic of what has already o
currcd tlifro since that date , and If the pr
diction * for the future hold good , Secrctn
Uerbert'n action In largely reinforcing-
Vnltcil State * warships In Chinese wate
will be proved to have been a very wl
move , 'Die advices describe' the measur
which have been adopted by the Chinese
block Iho navigation ot their rivers and I
resulting effect upon commerce. For o

lire cbUouily bludr&ncu to tti coming ai
going of vessels , nevertheless with the ex
ception of of the Chlneso lines , shipping Is
being carried on as usual and there are no
Indications that merchants ore withholding
their cargoes. Trade to ensue , however , Is
being adversely effected , as cipher telegrams
arcno longer accepted , although they can be
sent from Shanghai. A feeling ot timidity
as to the 'safety ot the business ventures
with Tlen-Tsln Is naturally pervading the
business world. The Chinese themselves will
not block the port , but the Japanese are
likely to do to at any time. An effort was
being made to secure Immunity from capture
of Japanese and Chinese vestels plying re
spectively between their iown ports and In
common to neutral ports , but the consent of
I he Japanese hud not at the date of the ad
vice been received.
There was , however , a great menace to
trade from another ijuartcr , and It was thin
that led to the appeals ot foreign merchants
for the presence of home warships In the
trejty port ! of China. It was generally ex
pected by them that.nhould the Chinese be
defeated on their own toll , exactly wjiat
happened yesterday , according to cable re
ports , the Chinese soldiers would be de
moralized and tall to scouring the country
in every direction , committing outrages. In
that event , the slender thread which sus
tains the obedience of the masses to the
viceroy would be snapped and pandemonium
would tolgn supremo. The Chinese natur
ally hate the well-ordered management of a
orelgn community , and , with disorder and
onfuslon everywhere , the peaceable and
rell-regulated composure of a foreign com-
iiunlty Is sure1 to excite the animosity of
oldlcrs Inflamed by passion , of whom con-
rol has been lost. The great treaty port ol
'Jen-Tain Is believed to specially be threat-
ned. One prophetic statement in the mall
dvlces Is as follows :
In proportion to the disasters of war thai
vlll surely overtake China will the Influence
f the viceroy wane , and should the defeat
f the Chinese he. a crushing one he will be
bsolutely Incapable of maintaining order.
A Hung Chang has been a never ? tllsclplln-
.rlan , and , with reverses , the masss will
urn upon him with the pent-up hatred ol
ears.
As these defeats are coming to pass ami
ho prophecy 1ms already been verified as tc
,1's degradation , it will be a matter ol
erlous Interest to know how far the re-
milmler of this prediction shall be justified
by the events of the future.

SAN FRANCISCO , Sept. 28. The war be-
ween China and Japan has resulted In t
plrlted competition between the Canadian
Ine ot steamers and the Pacific Mall. Witli
he commencement of hostilities In the Ori
ent , the big packing companies throughout
he country began shipping canned goods tc
Yokohama In large quantities , as canned
goods are an Important Item In the list ol
irmy supplies and always find a ready mar-
et. The Canadian line of steamers reducei' '
ho rate on canned goods nt the outset anil
las recently t > ecn handling heavy Hlilpmentt
"rom the packing houses In Omaha and Chi
cago. To divert this traffic to San Pran-
cisco , the Pacific Mall has announced a cul
n the tariff on canned meats from $12 to $ ;
icr ton. The new rate has already gone Intc
effect , and It Is expected that the nexl
sleamer to sail will be the Hlo de Janeiro
nnd she will carry one of the largest ship
nieiitn ot canned goods ever taken to Jupar
on a Pacific Mall steamer. The effect ol
: he cut rate will be tilt in San Frunclscc
'or ' some time. Local dealers are making ui
argn o-ders of canned meats for shipment
to Yokohama , and U Is believed that cannei
goods will form the principal part of cacl
outbound steamer's cargo for the next sev
eral months. Lncal dealers who have beer
expecting to reap a rich harvest out of- tin
war are being benefited by the cut rate , bu

WASHINGTON , Sept , 28. A complete re-
cxnmlnallon of the pine larnU ot the Chip-
p ° wa rcEcrvallcn tn Mlnnctota Is now being
conducted by the Interior department , and
the returns received show many discrep
ancies which occurred In the first examina
tion. More than five years ego n law was
passed fur the disposition of the last great
bcdy cf i/lno land in M jinesota. All of
the other great tracts In that state and
In Michigan nnd Wisconsin as well , have
passed Into the hands ot private Individuals
cr lumbering corporations. In northern
Minnesota thtro was a large tract ot pine
owned by the Chlppewa Ind'an ? . A bill
was paesecl lo sell the lands , nnd It pro
vided for the examination of the lands by
appraisers who were to estimate the amount
of pine on each tract. Con
siderable time Ims been consumed
In surveying the land. Slice then
an examination was ordered. Charges ucre
made that the first examination was not
accurate. Secretary Smith discharged the old
c-xninlncrs and the new examination Is pros
pering , showing that the examiners vary con
siderably In their judgment aa to the Amount
of plno on the various tracts. After the second
end examination Is completed there will still
be a large amount of timber to be estimated.
The law provides that nil this preliminary
work must be done before any of the pine
can be sold. The money resulting from the
sale of the land l to draw Interest for the
benefit of the Chlppcwas. But at the rate ol
progn-ss now being made It will bo five
yeai-B before the sale can bo commenced ,
An effort has been made to have the lands
already examined and appraised , sold , ami
bills have been introduced in congress for
that purpose. It Is probable that the effort
will not bo pressed now until the burned pine
In the northwest Is disposed of , as that will
have a tendency to overstock the market
and result In a small price for the tancl.
Yet the officials of the Interior department
recognize that the final disposition of the
land may be long delayed and that It maybe
be- necessary to sell some of the lands BOOII.
There Is a commission operating among the
Chlppewas endeavoring to concentrate , them ,
As the entire expense that Is being Incurred
'n examination , re-exatnlimtlon and the com-
nls&lon comes out of ( lie proceeds to be de-
iveil from the sale of the lands , the moic
ntelllgent Indians are becoming Impatient
and alarmed and feel that their money IE
going very fast and that they are receiving
10 benefit from the tale of lands made flvc
fears ago.
There has been protests of this kind macU
lo the Interior department , und the olllclali
liave been urged to make more progress
Already Secretary Smith has given orders t (
tlio commission , to close Its business with tin
least possible delay , as the Impression li
that it can accomplish nothing more. N <
method bus been devisedfor the disposltlor
ot examiners or hurrying the work. Tin
attempt to sell the land meets with some op
position because the grant In Minnesota foi
school lands has not yet been satisfied , am
the state Is entitled to Indemnity of tw. (
sections In each township for all lands In
eluded in the reservation.

AVASHINOTON. Sept. 28. Now that Mr ,
I > runimon0 , who was chief of the secret serv
ice under the last administration , has ef
fected the capture of Captain Howgatc , hi
will be called upon by the Treasury depart
ment to make come explanation In regard U
certain features of lils connection with tin
Howgate case. H la understood that Mr
Urummond will be called upon to cxplair
why It was that he left no record In the
files of the bureau about the Howgale cas <
when he severed his connection with tin
secret service. It Is said at the Treasurj
department that Mr. Urummond claimed tc
bo working on the Howgate cape In June
1893. At that tinio the Cleveland admlnls
( ration , having been In power over threi
months. It was determined to displace Mr
Driimmond. who was a republican , und glvi
his place to Mr. llazcn , a democrat. Mr
Drummond. It Is alleged , represented to Sec
retary Carlisle that he was then engaged li
efforts to catch Captain Howgate , and tha
to displace him at that Juncture wouM In
terferc with the apprehension of the fugl
live. Upon this assurance Secretary Carllsli
deferred action , but after the lapse of clgh
months , with still no news of Howgate , tin
secretary concluded that he would make i
change. Mr. Urummond's resignation wa
handed In.
Soon after taking charge ot the office Ml
Hazen had occasion to look up the Howgat
case , but It Is said ho could find no trace I
the IIIt-s of the department of anything concerning
corning the history of the efforts of the dc
purtment to caplure Howgate.
The first Impulse of the Treasury depart
ment officials was to call upon. Mr. Drum
mend to give an account ot his stewardshl
In this matter , but for certain reasons it wa
concluded not to mention tha matter to lili
at that time. In the early part of this mont
the secret service bureau received Informs
( Ion that Howgate was In New York an
that he wax haunting u certain locality. Th
bureau went to work upon this track , but ha
not found Captain Howgato at the time the
Urummond flushed his gamp. Now that th
whole thing has come to light It Is undci
stood that the Treasury department will ca
upon Mr. Drummond to tell what 'hd ' ma
know of any papers or data upon the Ilo.vgat
case vvhlch may have been In the bureau t
the time he resigned.
A legal demand of this kind can bo madi

rriiin Undentlir Tariff Ban ,
WASHINGTON , Sept. 28. The representa
tives uf three of tBe republics , Venezuela ,
Colombia and llaytftake considerable satis
faction out of the fact that while the new
tariff law In this country abrogates the rec
iprocity treaties between this country and
Ilrazll , Nicaragua , Salvador , Guatemala , nnd
other countries , It has. the rcvera effect as
to them , as It does nwdy with the retnllutory
policy which Harrison' announced by proc
lamation ag'ainit Columbia , Venezuela and
Huytl. This procUinaUon was Issued March
16 , 1S92 , because the three countries had not
up to lh.it time entered Into reciprocity ar
rangements. It suspended the free list on
sugar , coffee , hides and molusses. and es
tablished a duty of 3 cents per pound on
coffee , 1 % cents to 2 cents per pound on
gar , 4 cents per gallon on molasses , and Hi
cents per pound on hides. These rates
have since applied to only those
three southern republics , while their neigh
boring republics enjoyed free entrance to
this country on Ihesq goods. It had the
iffcct of cutting them oft from the United
States , but It did not force them to yield
to a reciprocity agreement. The Hnytlen
sales to this country reached $2,200,000 be
fore the ret.illat.otif but afterward fell to
$17yOO. The Colombian exports fell from
12,000,000 to $1XOO,000. The Vcnzuela ex
ports fell from $10,000,000 to J3.000.000. It
practically cut oft these countries frcm ship
ping coffee , sugar and hides to thi country ,
s they could not pay tile duties and com-
pjte succesafully with their neighbors , who
paid no duties. This dtecrlmlnat on Is now
removed , and Colombla ( Venezuela and Haytl
are restored to the -same position occupied
by other southern republics. It promhea
( o revive the fornwr extensive trade , these
countries had with the United States , and
it also terminates the ( relations that have
nrlsen out of the retaliation and the unsuc
cessful efforts to negotiate reciprocity
treaties. '

LINCOLN , Sept. 2S. ( Special Telegram. )
The Lansing theater was filled to overflow-
ng tonight by the audience which gathered
to listen to Edward Hosewater , editor of The
Omaha lice , discuss the Issues of the state
campaign. It was one of the finest audi
ences that has ever filled the handsome
and commodious theater. More than 2,000
people were present and hundreds were ifn-
able to gain admittance. Hon. B. K. Drown
of Lincoln presided and Introduced Mr. Uose-
waler to the audience. Mr. llrown said that
the time was closely approaching when the
electors would be called upon to select the
ncn who should administer the affairs ol
government in Nebraska tor anotlur term.
"One of the fundamental principles ot tht
republican party , " he said , "was that II
guaranteed to every man his right to fret
speech. The truth was always welcome tc
ho friends of good government. We , as
citizens , feel that we must search for tin
causes of business depression and misman
agement In our state affairs and to cndcavoi
to find the leniedy. There may be a diver
gence of opinion as to the proper remedy , bill
we are all free , to admit that the cause h
there.Ve have with us tonight a resldenl
ot this commonwealth , who Is well known t (
all. Ills vocation Is such that from vcrj
iccesslty he has been compelled to stud }
the needs and necessities of the state. Hi
lias been a bold and fearless advocate ol
lonesty In men and measures In Nebraska
You all know him , and I take pleasure Ir
presenting Mr. Hosewater to you. "
Mr. Hosewater was greeted by applause as
he stepped to the front of the stage. He ex
pressed his appreciation of the large amllcnc ;
ind Bald that he took it that the people o :
Lincoln had a lively Interest In the cause o
good government.
WHEN BUTLER WAS IMPEACHED.
He said that the location of the state
capital nt Lincoln had brought upon tin
state olllcers certain -lecponslbllltles us wel
as opportunities for enriching themselves ai
the expense of ( he people. In Ihe first
three years of the history of Nebraska rani
corruption and boodlerlem became so flag
rant and notorious that the legislature wai
compelled to purge the state house and re
move fem his office the first governor o
the state , The Impeachment of Gcvernoi
David Duller disclosed the gravest derellc
lion cf official duty. Money belonging t <
the sohools of the state had been dlvertci
to private use , contractors had been black-
ma'lfd ' and corrupt agreements had beei
iiiadp with other state officials. During tin
impeachment trial the asyliim for the in
cane near Lincoln wab flrec ] by an Incen
alary to cave > up the frauds In the con
sjructlon , and _ heir-legs , and unforlunale in
n ates wore1 , burned' to'a'shocking'death Ij
order that bsocllerlsm at the state nous :
might , bo covered. A wholesale deliver ]
of convicts ct the pe'nHentiary uas a par
of the conspiracy , and worse than that , wher
the woman , the mistress of one ot the Ilber
ated convicts , who , to secure the freedon
of her lover Qred the asylum , was Inicec
toSt. . Louis by the officers of the Invv , shi
was found murdered In her room on the evi
of the day she was to be brought back ti
Nebraska for trial.
Mr. Hosewater declared lhat he was no
the enemy of the city of Lincoln , as hat
been charged. He had advocated the loca
tlon of all the state Institutions at Llncoli
but the penitentiary , und had opposed Hi
Idea of scattering them over thestate. . Th
penitentiary , he said , had been a posltlv
detriment to Lincoln , as it had met fre
labor , convict competition and deterrei
manufacturers from locating ut Urn stut
capital.
CAPITAL NATIONAL CONSP1HACY.
Coming on down in his review of rascal it
and ring ! rule , at the state capltol , Mr. Rose
water referred to lhat greatest of all swln
dies , the Capital National bank failure , an
chowcd that that failure was the result o
a deep-ebated conspiracy on the part of th
railroad combine that had used it as the In
strument for controlling the politics and th
government pf the state. He alluded to th
efforts of J. D. MacFarland and D. E
Thompson to cover up the bank's fraudulen
operations.
Mr. Roscwater then took up Majors * recor
as a contingent congressman , reading coplou
extracts from the Congressional Record I
establish the charge of forgery brought b
the house committee on Judiciary , of whlc
Tom Reed of Maine was chairman. H
proved all the charges ho had made agulns
Majors In connection with the abduction c
Taylor and th6 fraudulent voucher by whlc
Walt Seely was enabled to pocket the balance
anco of Taylor's unearned salary. Ha quote
from the records to prove that Majors ha
been aware of th& plot to spirit away Tayloi
showing thai In the forenoon of Ihe da
Taylor was run out of the state that Taylc
bad been paired with Sena'or Drjwn of Wast
Ington county , und had been excused h
Majors as presiding officer of the senate , bt
that In the afternoon , after Taylor had bee
taken away. Majors in the open senate di
nled that Taylor had been excused. If ME
jars had told the truth the famous deadloc
would never have taken place.
MAJORS AS A HEPUDtATOH.
Mr. Roscwater then read the bill perml
ting the partial repudiation ot county , pn
duct , or school district debts , under the pr <
visions , of which two townships In Nemali
county were enabled and did repudiate on <
third of $100,000 worth of bonds that ha
been Issued and sold. This bill was offere
In the legislature by Majors , and a bill en
bodying all of Its provisions b'ecame a lax
He asked the audience to say whether <
not the presence of such a law on Nebraska
statute books was calculated to convlm
eastern capitalists that Nebraska was a goc
field for Investment.
Mr. Uosewater next turned to the oft-r
peatcd assertion that the success of Jmlj
Ilolcomb would impair the credit ot N
braska , ruin her finance ! " , prevent the li
vestment of eastern capital and Increase tl
rate of Interest. He quoted figures an
statements which ho had personally obtaint
from leading bunkers and Invcstoi
at Topeka and Leavenworth provli
the absolute- falsity of the assertlo :
Ho showed by official figures that mo
money has been loaned on farm mortqagi
In Kansas under populist rule than In N
braeka under republican ; that rates ni
equally low ; that banks are embarrassed t
a surplus of money which they are anxloi
to loan , and that the average bank clearlni
of Topeka , with 35,000 population , are fro
25 to 40 per cent greater than for Ihe city
Lincoln with its population of GO.OOO ,
The Insinuation recently made by a Llnco
newspaper to the effect that there were on
standing notes which Mr. Itosewater hi
given to J. C. McUride , when the latter wi
state treasuier , Mas taken up and argued i
effectually that the tmmenso audience cheeri
with enthusiasm. Mr. Rotewater read lei
grams and lelters from Mcllrlde In- which tl
latter pronounced the whole story aa re
Qualified with a big D ,
CHKKHBl ) TO TUB KCHO.
In closing , Mr , Hosewater appealed to tl
republicans of Lincoln to unite- with men
all parties In u final effort lo ovcrtliro
corporate domination In Nebraska and \w \
nlclous railroad Inlirferencc In Nebraska pc
Itlci. A targe mm irlly ot the audience a
pldiided his appc lo Die echo , while II
Majors men present leitlnou ot their ill
approval of any reference to peed govern
ment by hlsMng.
The address was ended at 10 o'clock. As
he audience started to leave the Majors foi-
owcrs gave three cheers for their candi
date , nnd the friends of Ilolcomb , not lo bo
outdone , gave three jusi an rousing. The
audience was , the larcest that ever 111 led

ootllghls lo dome , and hundreds Mood np
n every available space on the floor. In the
julcony nnd In the galleries , for the- whole
wo hours and a half. There were many
adles present , and the audience was repre
sentative of the Intelligence ot the city of
-.Incoln. Mr. lloHewnler was Interrupted
nit a few times by the slight manifestations
if the Majors following , and these muni-
'estntlons. while clearly hostile , wen ; good
utured , and only such as might be ex-
iccted from any mixed political audience.

Douglas county republicans will meet at
Washington hull nt 2:30 : this afternoon to
nominate county officers and a. legislative
ticket. The primaries for the. election ot
delegates were held > esterday afternoon , The
Interest shown was unusual. The voting
plac.s in many of the wards wcro surrounded
by crouds alt the nfternoon nnd In many of
the wards more than GOO votes were polled.
Perhaps the chief caiso : of all this zeal
was thai Douglas county jmb two candidates
who arc looking toward the scat In the
United States senate now cccjplctl by Charles
F. Mandcrton. Bath of these gentlemen have
enthusiastic partisans and every volcr was
urged lo go to the pells. As between Mr.
Thurslon nnd Mr. Webster , however , tha
contest lu the city proved to be one-sided ,
the sentiment In favor of the former being
overwhelming , the delegates , from at least
six wards being Instructed to promote his
election. The chief contests In this par
ticular wmIn the Fourth and Ninth. In
the Fourth the home of both , thu Thurston
ticket was successful. In the Ninth the *
petition or in-owed Thurston ticket was de
feated , but It U claimed that several ot
those on ths caucus ticket are his friends.
The activity of Hie frier-ds of iispiranls for
county olllcoa and for scats In Ihe legislature
also contributed to swell this vote. The
main battleground between Kalcy and Hromo
for county attorney was In the Sixth , ami
Kaley won. thouri ; ! preferences In all other
wards , so far as expressed , were for other
candlOales. Charley Bruiier , who aip'.rcs tea
a seat In the legislature , was hit squarely
on the point of the jaw In his own ward ,
the Eighth , wlilla Jim Kyner , backing Mey
ers for the legislature. In the Filth.was
knocked clear over the ropes lu emphatic
fashion. The result by wards was :
First Ward The primaries were quct. !
It Is at all limes a. democratic wn.nl , and to
this was added the fact that there was no
contest. Only thr- caucus ticket was In
the field , and this was elected straight.
The only fight was on Hcnsel , who was
scratched on many tickets. lie received
only iuventy-slx votes , whllo II. Bartson ,
who was running against him , got almost
an ninny. IS. Stuht recc.ved 124 and the.
rest from 141 to 1-17. There were 1BO votes
cast. The following comprise the delega
tion : Charles Abney , P. M. llack , K. AV.
llartos , George Catbroe , A. U. Henscl , Ed
Mllllgan , E. Stuht , A. E. Walkup , Frank
Wooley. The delegation Is solidly fop
Thurston. For flats representative It ( lands
for Singleton. For Elate tenalor It Is de
cidedly doubtful. Not one ot the delegates
knows or seems lo know whom he will
support. A meeting will b ? held today tp
decide the quest on. The delegation ; Jn |
solidly and emphatically from lop lo bat-
torn opposed to fitenbevg. .
IT IS ALWAYS CLOSE THERE.

Franel , who Is unpledged. Harto Is for
Thurston for United ISates senator.
Third Ward The struggle was very clo-so
anil exciting. The fight was not EO much lor
preferred candidates an It was between fac-
llons for the supremacy. There were two
tickets in the field. One was the regular
caucus ticket and the other was put up by
Ihe faction which was downed at the caucus.
The total vote was C31. and the count pro
gressed with exasperating slowness. But ths
ticket headed by Nate Drown came out a
winner. It was a Thurston victory , for the
winning iK'legates were pledged to lhat gen
tleman. The ward has no preferred candi
dates for legislative honors. That Is to nay ,
the delegates were not elected as promoters
of uny booms for Third ward statesmen. It
was staled some time ago that It. 8. Berlin
had his eye on a Boat In Iho senate , but Mr.
Berlin denied the repsrt before the polls
were opened. The ticket ho headed was de
feated by a close margin. J. J. Casey wna

Levy , .Martin Olsen , Cal Sprlggs , Sol Prince.
Fourth Ward The fight was all one.sIdMl
and the Thurston man distanced Iho Webster
men. The total vote cast was 020 , and a sur
prising' feature of the fight Wtt8 lhc rapidity
with vhlch the rote was counted. The last
vote wab counted at 10:30 : , hut the result
was known long before that hour. The
Fourth has two candidates for legislative *
honors , Richard Smltli , who seeks n seat In ,
the senate , and H. II. Jenness , who would bo
pleased ( o tit In the lower house. The ticket
elected will support these candidates In the
