VICTOHIA , Nov. 30. The Victoria , thir
teen days from Yokohama , arrived today.
The Associated press correspondent , writing
November 17 , says : No trouble Is expected
to result from the affair of the steamer Syd
ney. Tlio United States government Is under
stood to regard the action of Japan na justi
fiable on the grounds of self-defense , and
Oreat Hrltaln coincides , although some1 form
of explanation or apology may be deemed de
sirable. Franco has taken a less conservative
view of the situation , but Is not disposed to
make serious difficulties. Her opinion ap

clently alarming as to call for the removal
of passengers from the French mall steam
ship.

Later developments Indicate that the self-
declared explosive experts were Irresponsible
speculators , It not Imposters. Reports were
received connecting Colonel Frsd Grant with
the undertaking , and his name carried wit !
It a weight which would not liavu been accorded -
corded to unknown adventurers. It Is we !
Itnown that LI Hung Chang holds the mem'
ory of General Grant la reverence , and he
would presumably have been disposed to
place unusual resources at the disposal of a
party representing his son. The sums alleged
to have been promised Colonel Grant , and
which hava been actually advanced to hi
agents , correspond exactly with those se
forth by the travelers on the Gaelic and Syd
ney. Taking these and other corelatlve fact
Into consideration , the Japanese govern men
believes It Is under the necessity of guarding
against the threatened danger. Th ? Frenc
diplomats and consuls of the United State
were powerless to Intervene had they been
Inclined to do so , and relying on the author
Ized readings of International law , Japa
availed herself of what she claims Is
belligerent law. The American passenger
were released November 12 , after lakln
oaths not to aid China In any manner an
expressing In writing their gratitude for thl
leniency. A telegram from Paris announce

NEXT CONGRESS MAY BE LIVELY.
The seventh session of the Diet has bee
called to meet In Toklo December 4. ' It I
not anticipated that the proceedings will to
BO. harmonious an those of the exlraordlnar ;
session recently held at Hiroshima. The sol
purpose of that gathering was. to authorize
war expenditures and all domestic dissensions
were allowed to rest by common consent.
The legal and patriotic purposes of the mem
bers having been Indefinitely avowed , the op
position now considers Itself free to resume
Its customary violent attitude toward the
government. It Is hoped that attacks upon
the administration will not be carried to such
uxcesa as In former years , but as the extreme
radicals have often proved themselves deter
mined to block the course of the government ,
no matter at what liazzard , the country has
llttlo expectation of their restraint on this
occasion.
AB previously' reported , the minister of for
eign affairs recently sent a communication
to the governor of Kamagaravaln , In which It
was stated that the Japanese natives serving
on board United States ships In Japanese
porls must bo regarded by the government
as * coming under the jurisdiction of the Im
perial courts whenever charged with .offenses
against the law. As this opinion is contrary
to the position maintained by the United
States the quesllon was brought up for diplo
matic discussion. It now appears that the )
foreign minister had no deliberate Intention i
to deliver an ex cathedra judgment on the
subject. A native newspaper , which printed
his letter to the local governor , has been
fined 20 yen for publishing private
official documents without permission. In
course of his trial , the prosecuting
attorney remarked that the administration
was not concerned with the questions and
the correspondence under discussion con
tained only the Individual views of the writer.
The Incident , therefore , will pass without
further debate.
The surgeon general reports that the
troops recently engaged In Manchuria are In
average condition. Contrary to the usual
experience , Illness Is less common among
Japanese troops In the Hold.
The popular contributions to the navy
fund have reached 390.000 yen.
DIVIDING UP CHINA.
The , Japanese newspapers are amusing
themselves by printing maps of China In
partitions , showing the condition which It
will bo In after the war has had Its'full ef
fect. Many of these maps represent Japan
in possession of ( ho provinces of Singing ,
Ohlnll. Sang , Cuing , Klang-Sow-Cho-Klang
and Fu-Kcln , and as a result the vlceroyal-
tles of Shansl , Nonan and Anwui. England
Is assigned Kwang-Tung , Hunan , Hupeli and
Shensl. To Germany , Kwang-Sl , Kwel-Chow
nnd Hainan , and to France Yungan , Szec-Huan
and Kang-Suhl. The territory of Mongolia
and nothing more is set apart for nussla
Japanese divers have applied for permission
to raise and repair the King-Yuen and Chi-
Yuen , sunk In the fight oft Tauko harbor.
The movements o'f ' General Oyama's army
corps may bo summarized as follows : LandIng -

Hoayan river , on the eait coast Lla-Ttinf

ASKS COIIEA TO OPEN HEH POUTS.
Japan has requested the Corean govern
ment to open to foreign trade the ports of
Moka-Moka-Vohoe on the southwest coast of
the province of Cliola , and Kokwan on the
Tain-Ting river. Arrangements for this will
be carried out as soon as the disorders of
war quiet.
Affairs In Corea appear to be In a very bad
state , despite official Japanese statements.
The interference of Japan towards putting
everything right appears to have had the con
trary effect by putting everything wrong.
Anarchy stalks throughout the southern part
of the kingdom. It Is said that there are
armies ot malcontents ranging from 20,000
to" * 0,000 strong. The entire populallon may
b said to be hostile to the occupation of the
Japanese , and though the wretched king ,
who is as plastic clay In the hands of
potter , has been directed to Issue an edict
that every one Is to be beheaded who mo
lests the Japanese , but small heed Is likely
to be paid to such a sweeping order , for were

authentically reported that the murderer
ot Ben Merrltt has been located , and that
the evidence ngnlnst him Is fast coming In.
Merrltt , a prominent citizen of Flllmore
county , Nebraska , nnd a candidate for tne
legislature , while here on a business trip ,
was found dead at 6 o'clock In the morn
ing In a buggy In front of the livery barn
wliere ho had secured a rlir nt 8 o'clock
the evening before to fro to tnc neighboring
town of Lewis. Ho went to Lewis nnd
was seen to leave there about 12 o'clock at
night In company with another man , nnd
soon nftcr pistol shots were heard. The
same buggy was seen to drive up to the
livery barn the next mornlntr about 0 o'clock
nnd a mnn alight. About nnlf an hour after
wards the buggy was found headed In an
other direction nnd down another street ,
with Merrill's body on the sent. The mur
derer evidently hail cpcnt live or six hours
of the nlcht riding around the country
with the. . corpse of his vlcllm for company.
This same man WHS seen by several par
ties Inquiring- for Merrill Just before he
left to drive to Lewis. He came on the
snme train with Morrttt nnd comes from
the same county , nt the town of Geneva.
He lias recently nerved a term In the peni
tentiary. Several parties who paw him
here , not knowing anything about htm nt
the time , have picked him out from among
men In a Nebraska town and Identified him
beyond a doubl. There seems to be no
doubt but he Is the guilty man , but there
are several poIntH In the evidence to be
secured before conviction Is sure. The mur
derer Is under strict surveillance nnd his
escape Is almost Impossible.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 30. Information ot
ho exact program to be pursued tomorrow ,
> y Reuben F. Kolb , the populist c'almant to
ho governorship of Alabama , was inado
( nown here today. Thus far Kolb has dls-
losed only that he and his populist follow-
rs , estimated .at about fiO.OOO , would go to
Montgomery , take the capital and there de-
nand that Kolb bo sworn In , as governor In-
lead of Oatcs. There tmvo been grave fears
of riot and bloodshed as a consequence of the
clash of the rival parties , and the mtlltla of
ho state Is now at the state capital. The
national headquarters of the populist party at
Washington have been closed since the clec-
lon , and Chairman Taubcneck has been In
St. Louis the past few days attending the
sessions of the Bimetallic league , which has
> een meeting there. Some of his associates
n the party ore still here , however , and make
heir headquarters In the olllce of the Na-
lonal Watchman , the organ of the populist
mrty , and they are kept fully Informed of
ho doings of Kolb and his followers.
J. A. Dunning , editor of the Watchman ,
vns asked today what , from his Information ,
vould bo the exact steps taken by Kolb to-
ucrrow. He replied : "Mr. Kolb and the
ither members ot the stale populist ticket will
; o before a judge or justice of the peace in
Hontgomery tomorrow morning and take the
oath of olllco to the places to which they
were elected. Having done this they will
go formally before the state legislature ,
which Is now In , session , In Montgomery , and
edge a formal protest against theInnugvr -
atlon of Dates and ask that an Investigation
) o authorized by that body. It Is necessary
o make the protest In this way because
there Is no contest law In the state , a con-
iltlon which does not exist in any other
state In the union. Our people In Alabama
will make vigorous protests In a regular wayi
and rely on our people In the legislature to
ake up the question and force an invcstlga-
; lon. We have forty-four members In that
body and the democrats have eighty-nine. 1C
wo could get twenty democrats to help us It
would Insure an Investigation and put Mr.
Kolb In the gubernatorial chair. We will
abide by the Investigation decision , no mat
ter what It may be , just as soon as we hava
an opportunity to bring persons and papers
nnd show to the country the evidences ot
Fraud which we assert was practiced in tliD
last election. "
"Will there be any .trouble In Montgomery ,
as a result of thsi events there tomorrow ? "
"There may be some trouble , but It will not
bo of our seeking. The cntlro state mtlltla
lias been invited to the city , and there will
a great number of strangers In the city ,
and more or less drinking , and this may re-
suit In a collision between the people. 10
looks to u as If the other side was seeking ;
trouble. All talk of treason on , the part of
the populists as a result of the attempts ot
Mr.-KoltKandjilsnEHo'clUcsfto ) ; ( be sworn - Inla >
without any 'foundation.
Throughout , tlier campaign 1CE1U "was "In "
constant telegraph communication with the
jicoplo's national headquarters In this cityj
and since that tlmo his adherents hava cent
many long letters here , claiming that gross
frauds were perpetrated and that In the late
election Kolb was honestly elected and Is
entitled to his scat.
MONTGOMERY , Ala. . Nov. 30. The fcl-
lowlng resolution was adopted by a caucus ot
tha populist senators and. representatives
after midnight last night :
"Jleiolv d That theactlon of our state con
vention held In tlilu city en November 12
meets with our fullest endorsement and that
all reports published by an unfriendly press
to the effect tint any lawlessness or violence
In any form Is contemplated on the 1st prox
imo Is absolutely false and lu circulated for
the purpse of bilngng ! our party Into din-
repute among patriotic citizens.
"A. L , GOODWIN , Chairman.
"E. B. LONOLBY. Secretary. "
Upon the request of Mr. Manning the reso
lutions were read In the house today , and ,
upon lih motion , were ordered spread upcn
the records of the house.
Kolb has arrived In the city and will bo
uworn In tomorrow. There Is great fear of
trouble. The advance guard of Kolbltes ar
rived last night , and they are talking very
bitterly today. The Kolblte members of the
legislature now admit a possible conflict , and
last night held a caucus , at which they
passed resolutions disclaiming any responsi
bility for any lawlessness that may occur.
There Is fear thai some crank , laboring Under
excitement , may attempt to assassinate
Oatcs or Jones and extra precautions will
bo taken to protect bath. A prominent
leader cf the populists , Hon. Frank Baltcell ,
editor of the Alllaneo Herald , and who Is In
a position to speak for Kolb , raid today that
ho did not expect any overt acts or revolu
tionary courEo by the people's party follwera
for the reason that the party has spoken
against it and everything Is unfavorable.
for such a movement. Many regard the
usurpation of Oatcs as a wrong which will
justify any reylstanco to prevent Its consummation - .
summation , but they do nrt intend to resort
to any sort of violence. Nearly every promi
nent man In the movement U opposed to
violence , and all ot thsc In authority op
pose It.
It Is now believed that the purpose of Cap
tain Kolb In having hlmbclf sworn In aa
governor Is to put himself on record and to
bo In a position to sign the credentials ot
j Colonel Recap , who was nominated by the
populists OB United States senator , and who
will contest the neat of Senator Morgan , the
regularly elected senator , upon the grounds
that ! the majority of the rJpresentatlves who
voted for him were elected by fraud , and
hcnco were not entitled to support him.
There are no developmentR tonight that would
seem to Indicate any trouble tomorrow.
