Hitherto foreigners who have suc
cored Japanese ships in distress , or
anted poisons from wrecks , have been
presented with sums in spocip or let
ters of thanks. The authorities have
decided to give such persons hence
forward rewards in the form of valu
able Japanese manufactures , such as
brontoiron or porcelain flower voson ,
or other ornaments. This scheme ia
two-motived. First , strangers prefer
those articles to money , and second ,
the aalo of Japanese manufactures
abroad may bo thus indirectly ex
tended.
It is rumored that native banks and
commercial firms cannot enlist for
eigners among their shareholders. No
partnership haa yet boon covertly es
tablished between Japanese and Euro
peans or Americans. Of late , how
ever , tbo Yokohama foreign chamber
of commerce has addressed one bf the
il western ministers , stating the case ,
adding that many Japanese mercan
tile men are anxious that the prohibi
tory regulation should be annulled.
A serious gale doing considerable
damage is reported to have visited
Nngaeakie on the 18th of February.
Of late the Poking government haa
made considerable purchases of arms
in Japan and aoveral officials on board
the Chinese man-of-war Yu Yuno , at
Yokohama , are now buying in Tokio
such veapons as ha-o boon disposed
of by the war department to native
merchants.
It is mentioned that the manufact
ure of woolen cloth in Japan is so
much improved that home made is no
longer inferior to imported stuff.
Therefore , from the beginning of next
year the uniform of soldiery , now
made of kokura , ( a Japanese thick
cotton cloth , ) will be of domestic
woolon.
, . . DigcipUnary offenses lire reported to'
be on the increase among the soldiery
in the capital , ten men on an. average
being tried by court-martial tevery
day.Agrarian
Agrarian riots are reported in Ynn-
sharia and Kagoto , villages in the
province of Buzen. .The peasantry
complains that money is scarce and
that rico simultaneously depreciates
in value to the great distress of pro
dncera.
It is reported that the Korean gov
ernment applied to Japan for 20.000
stands of rifles of the Murata pattern.
Native papers state that the recent
fire in Maaagecho , Yokahama , de
stroyed 110 houses anddid , consider
able damage to more , and was the
cause of injury to several persons.
Adequate subscriptions having been
raised , the Lippon Railway company
will commence the construction of the
line between Tokiyo and Mayebashi
shortly.
Locusts yearly work great havoc oil

CHINA.
The North China Daily Nowa in an
article describing the Kaiping coal
mines aaya that by March of the pres
ent year an output of between ono
and two hundred tons of coal per day
may bo made and states that as the
Chinese hewers learn their work this
may bo increased to a thousand or
twelve hundred tons per day.
The government of Chang is now
engaged in the construction of a man-
sivo stone bridge over the Tai Kong
situated about half way between Tam-
sui and Taiwan Foo. The bridge is to
be constructed entirely of granite and
will ba considerably over a milo in
length , The cost of the gigantic un
dertaking ia estimated at aomewhat
over $1,000,000.
The emporor'a prayera for enow
having been hitherto unanawered , lie J
he has commissioned a fresh batch of d
princes and high officers to bring their c
influence to boar on heaven. It is 1
hoped that this will have the desired
effect ore lonij. Last year it was remarked -
marked at Poking that the more his
jnajeaty prayed for a snow the more
frequent became the dust storms , so
that at last the Chinese began to wish e
Jio would desist. L
An armed attack was made recently v
on a tillage on the outskirts of Chi

a band of masked robbers who man

When within a short distance of he :
she sent up a signal lor the Tokio t <

the vessel obeyed the signal , and laj
to for the small boat to pull along

and Plumb boarded the steamer in i
few momenta and informed the mostc :
of the Tokio that they had warrant
for the arrest of Henry Kennedy ,
steward , and H. Hennessey , purser ,
Without further doUy warrants were
issued on both those persons and they
were made prisoners of the Unitoi'
States on the charge of conspiracy in
attempting to defraud the govern

made in the most philosophical manner
nor and neither of the prisoners expressed
pressed any great surprise at the time ,
The arrests Veinq accomplished , th <
officers then produced authority to
confiscate any correspondence or let
ters that might bo on board which
bore any relation to seized opium or.
referred to any parties so far impli
cated in smuggling it. Upon search'
ing the mail bags a few letters
wore found which in the
opinion of the officers may prove of
sorvieo ir developments to come
about in the future. The steamer
then proceeded on her way to this
city with the deputy marshals and the
prisoners on board , leaving the Corwin

ers were convoyed to the county jail
where they were mot by Joseph Ken

KANSAH Orr-y , March 27. Join
Land , ono of the men engaged in the
robbery of the Chicago & Altoi
train at Blue Cut , in this county , ,
nude a confession to the grand jurj
at Independence to-day , in substance
as follows :
Ho says that the first intimation
that ho had of the intended robbery
was on the morning of the 7th of
September lost , the day upon which
the deed was committed. Creed ,
Chapman and John Bugler went to
him where ho was at work digging a
well , and broached the subject of the
robbery. They asked him to join
thorn , but ho at first declined , saying
that ho did not believe ho could make
any more money in the long
run out of train robbing
than ho could by digging wells. They
told him they would guarantee , him
more money than ho could earn dig
ging wells and insisted that ho should
loiiithem. He told them that ho
had to go down to Glendale to got anew
now drill and would talk to them
later in the day. Ho wont to Glen
dale , whore ho was introduced to a
man who was said to bo JOSBQ James ,
and who told him of a plan to rob the
train that night. Ho then agreed to
join them that night and Raw no
more of them during the day. Ho
did not know who would bo in the
party , excepting the two men who ho
had first talked with and the man in
troduced to him o& Jesse James , until
the entire party collected near the
Blue Cut to rob the train. Ho says
that when all had collected there
were twelve mun present and that
.of those five belonged to the old gang
and the rest were boys from
the neighborhood. He presented the
authorities with the names of all the
seven neighborhood boy a'who are now
tin the country , but that two of them
'skipped out early in the game , and
he supposes have joined the old gang
-who loft them that night after the
robbery. Land states that all those
Sunder arrest , in fact all the green
thorns concerned in the affair , were
.pimply Bt-oolpigeona for the old gang.
Hesays thatu ; was the old members
of the old gang who entered the express
press car and vent through the train ,
apd that all the country boys did was
to' keep up the racket on the outside.
After the robbery the entire party
wont into the woods a short distance
from the track , where the loader ,
who had all the "swag" in their pos
session said to the boys : "Boys , wo
haven't got time to divide , they
are too hot after us , and wo didn't
got the money wo expected to , any
how ; but we will all meet on the
right fork of the Blue next Wednes
day night ( just ono week from the
night of the robbery ) and we'll di
vide there. " With that the- five
( meaning the old gang ) mounted their
horses and rode away with the booty
in their possession , while Laud and
his companions dispersed for their
homos no richer than when they
started out. Before the night arrived
which had' been aot for the divide ,
the ni'tfct of them were safely jailed ,
and the others were fleeing the coun
try as rapidly as possible. Land de
clares bin belief that the robbery was
put up job , deliberately planned by
James and his gang for the double
purpose of securing the plunder and
getting the country boys into it in or
der to divert the attention of the au
thorities from their own operations.
Ho sconiB to bo in great dread of
Jesse James and his pals and always
refers to them as the "old gang , " and
saying with a nod and a wink , "you
know who I mean. " Land in a beard
less boy in appoafance , not oven 19
years of ago. His family are emi
nently respectable and ho always bore
a good reputation until this affair
came out. Land wan remundoc ] to
jail until to-morrow vhcn the trial of
Chapman and Bugler will bo in.
In the criminal court this afternoon
when the docket was called Laud'u
case came first and the prosecuting
attorney asked that it be put at tlio
foot of the docket , which shows that
Land is to bo used as a witness. TJin
next cases called were those of Bugler
mid Chapman. Bugler'H attorneys
uinoiiuced that they were ready for
trial and the venire of twenty-four
jurors was Bworn to answer questions.
Die court then adjourned until to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock , when
Hugler's trial will bo proceeded with.

gained by prying off1 five largo iron

work was done with a largo crow bar
that was found/on the premises. 'Once '
in the store quick work was made of
the safe. A heavy , blow from a 12-

bination and the small bolts and bars
were picked out in a scientific man

safe was reached an iron rod 'was
passed into the keyhole and the lock
completely broken. Before the money
was found it was necessary to break
some of the wood work in the safe ,
when the box was easily taken out. It
is not definitely known how much

mate places it at$125. ( It is generally
believed , however , all the loss will
reach several hundred dollars. The

The true inwardness of Mr. Gould's
ast trick haa still not been compro-
londod by the general public , who
oo nothing but the fact that ho ia m
losacsaion of an immense amount of
iccuritioa , and is in apparent league
vith another great miliionairo. Wall
troct itself does not orpastr.vwabout
, lie philosophy or psychology of the
lung. It rushes to buy , because
Yandeibilt and Gould arc buying. It
will juit as eagerly soil to-morrow , if
t dincovors that the butter ia on the
ithor aide of the broad. Can any man
mowing anything at all about Wall

Even iviuiiilig t.iatthoioSM.OOO-
JOOof BO-CI inil sruuritiea are all the
property of Mr. Gould , and that there
is no lien or power of attorney on
them , the fact of their boint ; in hm
liandu jrovoB t' > at they are practically
unsalable and unloanable. Ho doox
not issue Blocks and bonds for the
purpose of keeping them. Like any
other manufacturer he produces his
urticlo to eel ! it. The more certifi
cates of bonds and stocks ho prints the
more he wants to sell.
Until the $53,000,000 of aecuritiea
exhibited at the Barnum-like show of
Monday last are distributed on both
aides of the ocean they have procti-
callyino lvalue. No well-managed
bunk would lend money on one lump
of 50,000 shares of Missouri Pacific ,
Western Union , or Wabash.
The point is that ho can not got
either $53,000,000 , qr one-quarter of
that amount out of them unless the
public chooses to take them off his
hands. It remains , then , to be seen
whether the public will do so , and at
what price. Ho has managed to not
out of his Union Pacific , Texas Pa
cific , Missouri , Kansas & Texas , and
several other ventures with amazing
dexterity and wonderful success.
But it is doubtful whether the "inno
cent investors , " na he calls the public
who have bought from him stocks ut
double the price they oomniand now ,
can again bo induced to buy his
wares.
