Japan'! btnt Dlotorlnf.
Njcw Yoiik, Sept 3.—A special to
the Herald from Washington, says:
"Japan, not content with Interference
with President McKinley’s Hawaiian
annexation policy, now has designs
upon the Nicaraguan canal. Accord*
Ing to semi-official advices just re
ceived here from Nicaragua, the Jap
anese government is secretly negoti
ating with the Diet of the Greater
Republic of Central America, which
recently met in San Salvador, for the
construction of the Nicaraguan canal,
independent and in defiance of the in
terests and influence of the United
States or other nations.
“This aotion of Japan, taken in con
nection with her recent attitude in
regard to Hawaiian annexation, is of
the greatest slgblficance, showing, as
it does, to the authorities that there
is no ligpit to the ambitiop of the na
tion, and her aggressive policy may
yet get her into trouble with the
United States. That the Administra
tion will resent any interference with
the Nicaragua canal project, as It did
in the case of the Hawaiian annexa
tion treaty, goes without saying.
JAPAN’S SECRET DICKERING.
"If Japan can encompass it, accord
ing to the Nicaraguan advices received
here, she would like to obtain the ab
rogation of all treaty rights possessed
by the United States in relation to
intcr-occanic transit and the forfeiture
of the American canal concessions
from Nicaragua, and to immediately
make a treaty with the Diet of the
Greater Republic of Central America,
giving her control of the canal route
through Nicaragua. In the negotia
tions Costa Rica has not been consult
ed, it being well known that she would
not assent to a violation of treaty
rights.
- it nas oeen suspected in tome
quarters that,. England, which has
always been anxious to acquire at
least a joint control o( the eanal,
might be working in collusion with
Japan in the ‘dickering* with the Diet
now understood to be in progress, but
nothing has yet come to the surface to
Indicate that she has encouraged
Japan in the move It is said that the
agent of the Nicaragua canal hero has
laid the facts before Mr. Hitchcock,
the president of the canal company, in
New York, with the suggestion that
the State department be apprised of
the secret negotiations that are now
being carried on between Japan and
the Diet. Senor Zclaya, the president
of Nicaragua, it is understood, has ad
mitted to close personal friends that
Japan Is negotiating with the Diet,
but in eaoh case he advised the strict
est secrecy.
IS NICARAGUA PLAYING FALSE?
“A private letter just received in
this city from Nicaragua says: ‘Among
Americans in Central America the be
lief is general that the Greater Repub
lic of Central America, which is rep
resented In its diplomatic affairs by a
Diet composed of three members (one
each from Nicaragua, Salvador and
Honduras) was organized principally
in order that Nicaragua might ab
solve herself from individual respon
sibility as a nation, and thereby abro
gate her interoceanlc transit treaty
with the United Staten. The so-called
Greater Republic, resenting the fail
ure of the United States to recognise
the Greater Republic (on re
ceiving Senor Rodriguez as min
ister) and its failing to accredit
a United States minister to the
Greater Republic, is likely to try and
make a treaty with Japan, granting
her concessions for the construction
of the canal The United States min
ister here believes that when this
news reaches Washington the State
department will send a note to Japan
asking if she is seeking to interfere
with our treaty rights in the premi
ses The Americans in Nicaragua be
lieve that the United 8tatea govern
ment will insist that her interoceanlc
treaties with Nicaragua, Costa Rica,
Honduras and' Columbia are yet in
force, although the Diet claims that
Nicaragua and Honduras are no longer
separate uqd individual nations, and
are therefore irresponsible.’*

San Francisco, Sept. 3.—A latter
I dated Dawr.on City, July 26, from
Charles Haines, n well-known news
paper writer, was received here yes
terday. It is the first letter written
by a trained newspaper man to come
out of the Klondike (fold regions. He
says: , -j.
About me are score* of men who can
weigh their gold by the baclcetfnl,
and who value their claims at mil
lions. Four hundred valuable dig
gings are stretched along the creeks
and in every diggings there la a fabu
lous mine of gold, yet there are weary
men who have gone and returned to
Dawson after searching the great
country hereabouts, and never a nug
get do they show for their toll, their
long tramp over the broken ground
into a country whose disadvantages
are exceeded by no other place on
earth. This Alaska Northwest terri
tory Is an odd prize drawing propos
ition that I can liken to nothing that
admits of a better comparison than a
lottery. A number of spots are selected
on the creeks and rivers and for
one year the miner labors. The year
closes, the water runs, and the sea
son’s output barely pays expenses.
Not two miles away from the unfor
tunate one works a man who has
taken from an uninviting bit of earth
a sackful of gold. The lucky one did
not strike the pocket because of his
ability as a miner; chance favored him,
and that was all. In short, the miner
guesses at it and locates any and
everywhere. In nineteen cases out of
twenty he misses it, and has to watt
another year for a new trial. Dawson
is merely a collection of log huts, sa
loons and a mass of tents, about 600
in number. When the long nights
come and the glass goes down to 6.1
degrees below zero, there will be in

think of the results

Cut of Joseph M. till/, a Mlnoarl
Farmer, Recalled bp HU Death.
Chimjcothb, Ma, Sept 3.—Joseph
M. Lilly, a wealthy farmer of Jack
soa township, died last night, aged
about 64 years. He retired, after a
hearty supper, at 0 o'clock. An hour
later his wife found him dead.
In 1868 Mr. Lilly told hie friends
that ho had heart disease, and In the
autumn of that year took to his bed
and lay prone there for twenty-one
years, telling his physician and friends
that if he raised his head or chest
above a slight angle he would instant
ly expire. Nothing could expel this
idea from his mind, and his family
had to make the best of the
situation. His general health was
good, but it was not until late in
1880 that he could be Induced to get
up. Once during that time his dwell
ing caught fire, but he refused to
move aud was carried out on his
cot At last he announced that he
had worn out his ailment, and ven
tured to get out of bed, and was as
sisted to walk across the room. Slnoe
then he baS been up most of the' time
managing his business affairs, for he
was a shrewd business man, and grew
rich even while lying in bed.
A few weeks ago he had a Blight
shock of paralysis, but rallied, and up
to the day of his death had fairly good
health. He leaves a wife and one
daughter about SO years old.

THE HAWAII TREATY
THE ANNEXATION MATTER TO
BE RUSHED.
Extra Seaxlon of the Hawaiian Leylala
taro Called for September Oth to
Ratify the Treaty—McKinley to
Call Cony re «• Together Two
Months Earlier*
Hawaii for Annexation.
Saw Francisco, Sept. 2.—The
steamer Australia, which arrived from
Honolulu to-day, reported that Fran
cis M. Hatch, minister to Washington,
arrived August 20 with special inform
ation which will require the attention
of both government and senate. A
notice has already been issued to the
members of the latter body calling
upon them to meet in extra session
September 0 to ratify the annexation
treaty recently signed in Washington,
and, as a majority ef the members
favor annexation, the matter will be
rushed through.
A Senator is authority for the state
ment that Minister Hatch brought
word froiR President McKinley that
he had resolved to call Congress two
months earlier than usual for the pur
pose of disposing of the treaty before
the regular session, and this theory
appears to find favor with other SenJ
atom
Another matter to be considered by
the Hawaiian Senate is that of ren
dering assistance to the executive in
unraveling the Japanese muddle, as it
is said that Japan’s acceptance of the
offer of arbitration is so vague that
the President and his cabinet are in a
quandry. There are rumors of a
split in the cabinet oyer the question,
and it is said that the intervention of
the Senate is required to prevent an
open rupture.
The Hawaiian Star declared that a
eall had been issued for a mammoth
demonstration September 14 against
elnser political union with the United
States Senators Morgan and Quay
are expected to arrive from the Unit
ed States that day, and the object of
the anti-annexationists is to impress
them with the feeling upon the ques
tion.
The United States ship Bennington
arrived from San Diego August 24
after a run of nine days.
MR. VEST EXPLAINS.
ttnm 1 Letter In Btpl; to that of
' Comptroller Eckel*.
Sedalia, Ma. Sept. 8.— United
State* Senator George G. Vest has ad
dressed the following letter, under
date of August 30, to Congressman
James Cooney, of the Seventh Mis
souri district, in reply to the recent
letter from James H.. Eckels, comp
troller of the currency, stating that
Senator Vest had requested that the
proposed examination of the Sedalia
First National bank, in March or
April of 1HM, be deferred until certain
of the bank’s assets could be realized
upon. The letter is as follows:
“In March, or April, .1894, Messr.
Cyrus Newkirk, president of the bank,
and J. C Thompson, the cashier,
wrote me that an examination of the
bank was about to be made before the I
time fixed by the established rule of
the comptroller, and that, on account
of a false report put in circulation by
some one that the institution bad
failed, and the additional fact that, on
account of the stringency prevailing,
they were unable to collect, there was
danger of a run on the bank if an ex
amination was made before the regu
lar time. They stated that they would
realize a large sum from the assets of
the bank in a few days, and that the
institution was entirely Bolvent. They
requested me to lay these facts before
the comptroller of the currency.
“Believing them to be honest men,
and that their statements were true, I
went to the treasury department and
placed their communication before the
comptroller or his deputy, I do not
now remember which. I made no re
quest, but simply said the failure of
the bank would be a great calamity
to Central Missouri, and that I hoped
it could be prevented; that I knew
nothing personally about the matter
and had no connection nor interest
with nor in the bank' or its officers.
“I never had any dealings with the
bank, and . was active in organizing
the Citizens’ National bank of Sedalia,
against the persistent opposition of
the First National. While Mr. Thomp
son was connected with my family by
marriage, we were never friends nor
in any. way connected in business.
My conduct in this transaction was
dictated by a sense of publio duty,
and I would have done the same thing
for any constituent. I have no apol
ogy to make, and hope there will be
the fullest investigation.

8t. Loins, Mo., Sept. 3.—Tlie cob*

try finished its work last evening.
The meeting was productive of several
sensational speeches and many reso
lutions, yet no decisive action was
taken in the principal matter for
which the gathering was summoned —
the abolishment of "government by
injunction.”
me convention, which had been an*
nounced as the last one of its kind to
be held, while adjourning1 sine die, has
merely postponed action on the mat
ter* before it for three weeks, as a
call for a similar conference, to be
held in Chicago, Monday, September
37, was issued.
Mr. Debs and Social Democracy dom
inated the convention, and the famous
leader carried the gathering oft its
feet in one of his char actor istlo
speeches He said in part:
“Never in my life have I been more
hopeful than now. I am not gifted
with great visslonarv powers, but I
can see the beginning of the end.
(Cheers.) This meeting is an inspira
tion. It will lead to great results
This movement has attained tremen
dous-impetus and will go ahead with
a rush. When the people are ready,
and that day is not far off, my friends,
there will be a spontaneous uprising,
the supreme court will be abolished,
congress dispersed and the sacred
rights of American citizens and Amer
ican freedmen will be enthroned.
(Great applause.)
*‘I' plead guilty to the charge of
being radical. I only wish you would
allow me to be more radical still.
Support us, gentlemen of the conven
tion, and I promise you we will sup
port the attempt to abolish govern
ment by injunction and the judges
who issue them.
“On bearing arms: I hope in this
march of common intelligence we will
reach a point where we will be able to
settle these questions without appeal
ing to the sword or bullet I can not
tell. Certain it is there are thousands
of our fellow-citizens suffering, and
certain it is this can not last The
time will come to incite the populace.
When this time comes you can depend
on me. (Cheers.) I will not stand in
the rear and ask you to go ahead. I
will be in front and say to you, ‘Come
on.’ (Renewed cheering.)
“1 shrink from that bloodshed, "and
Mr. Debs paused impressively, “but
if this is necessary to preserve liberty
and our rights—in that event I will
shed the last drop of my blood that
courses through my veins. (Outbreak
of cheering.)
“The people are ripe for a great
change. All they lack is direction and
leadership. Let this conference sup
ply it. Let this conference set the
pace. Announce to the world that it
will temporarily adjourn for three
weeks to renew preparations. Ask
every man to pledge himself to be
there; come if you have to walk; no
man has a right to plead poverty. ”
Mr. Debs went over the conditions
existing in Pennsylvania, and when be
finished with that state took up West
Virginia. West Virginia, he said, had
more government to the square inch
than any state in the union, and that
meant less liberty. The less govern
ment, the more liberty—the only per
fect government was no government
at all. In conclusion, Mr. Debs said:
“My friends, assert yourselves; en
force your cause. Let every man who
can be as good as his word stand
erect.”

New York, Sept. 3,—Clad in conven
tional American garments and with
his long jet black queue coiled up un
der his hat, a full blooded Chinaman

yesterday. Alderman Frederick A
Ware read the marriage lines. John
A Taylor is the Americanized name
of the bridegroom. The bride is Carol
B. Dinsmore, 23 years of age. The
young woman did the talking because
her prospective husband was a strang
er to the language.
Taylor met Miss Dinsmore some
months ago in a Mott street mission,
where he was first taught by the girl
and where later he became an in
structor. An attachment sprang up
between the two and their engage
ment followed. When asked if there
was any objection to their being mar
ried, Miss Dinsmore said both were of
age. The couple will go to Oakland,
Cal., the home of ' the bridegroom’s
father, for their wedding trip

Patent Pointers,
Some years ago, . in : building
an envelope-making machine, an in
ventor found that he needed
a shaft that would revolve
slowly at first and then increase in.
speed, and then suddenly go slow again.
After much experimenting, the now
well known scroll 'gear Was evolved,
as shown above. A simple escapement
movement at the lower end of a pendu
lum is also shown, which is provided
with two shoulders, upon which the
three arms fall in rotation. Where a
patent for mere improvements was
granted during the pendency of an
earlier application for the broad inven
tion, the United States court recently
held, that a patent subsequently . N
granted on the earlier application is |
not invalid, though the elements cov
ered by its claims were shown and de
scribed but not claimed in the earlier
patent. For free information in rela
tion to patents, address Sues & Co.,
