Several hun dred letters containing tenders of service to the Japanese government In the present war with China have reached ths legation here. They come from nearly every part of the United Stales. One of the latest was from on ox-confederate at Greenville , Miss. , offerIng - Ing to raise n battalion , and oven a regiment of men , If desired , at that place and New Orleans. Another was from the foreign legation of Cleveland. O. A third came from an Individual who was willing to raise a company of picked sharpshooters , and a fourth was from a person who had some torpedo device ho was willing to part with for a consideration. Such communications us the last mentioned are turned over to the naval attache of the legation to do with as ho deems best. To the others the legation officials return polite dscllnatlous It Is a penal offense for Americans to servo cither [ n the Chinese or Japanese service while the two nations are at war , so that the lat ter government cannot under any circum stances accept the offers.

In reply to a question from Mr. Gourley , a prominent ship owner , said that Japan had promised that no warlike operations should bo undertaken against Shanghai and Its approaches on the condition that China does not obstiuct the approaches to Shanghai. Japan contends that the powers have no right to Interfere with neutral vessels except In the event of nn effective blockade , duo notice of which ehould bo given , or In the case of contia- bands of war. It would be dangerous for Great Britain to dcllno by a general state ment what Is and what Is not contraband of war. Coal had been- held not to bo con traband of war , as a rule , but It was possi ble In certain cases that It liccoino so Great Britain must adhere to the doctrine that It Is not for lighters to say what la and what la not contraband of war regardless of the well established rights of neutral people. _ _ _ _ _ _ UNi < : Mir.3 or UNION iti.viv : TO runrr.

WASHINGTON , Aug. G. Immediately after the announcement ot the recall of Mr. Ooze ? Tctenoe as Japanese minister to this country , It was stated that Mr. Kcn- tcroa Kantaroo had been appointed to this position. This was an error , due , It Is supposed , to a mistake In the transmission of the name. A telegram was received at the Japanese legation today announcing the appointment of Mr. Shlnlcharo Kurlno , chief of the diplomatic burrau of the department for foreign affairs , to bo envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the United States. Mr. Kuilno was one of the students who were sentjto this country by the Japan ese government as soon as that government decided upon the policy of sending young men abroad to pursue the course of study In colleges and universities of Europe and America. Some twenty years ago , when Mr. Kurlno has thoroughly mastered the English language , ho devoted himself to the study of law In the Cambridge law school at Harvard. Subsequently , upon his re turn to Japan , 1m received an appointment In the department for foreign affairs , where h ° especially dealt with matters Involving legal questions. In the summer of 1891 , when certain changes were Intioduced In the organization of .the department for for eign affairs , ho was appointed chief of the diplomatic bureau. Within the Hst three years many Important questions have arisen In the relations of Japan , Including the abrogation ot the consular jurisdiction clause of the treaty concluded with Portugal , the claims against the Corcan government for damage accruing from certain all guil ar bitrary actions of the local authorities of that country , nnd the present difficulty , cul minating In the declaration of war between Japan and China. In all these questions Mr. Kurlno has figured prominently , und he has bo'n a favorite among the members of the diplomatic corps. itussiA's riNtiLK IN TIII : I'li : .

The presence .of three cx- prcsldents at Curacoa gives color to the rumor that a general feelipg In favor of an uprising exists. The people as a general thing are discontented nnd as times are rather hard at present the discontented ones blame President Crcnpo for the condition of affairs. A number of the states consider themselves aggrieved , saying Crerpo 1ms discriminated In the matter of Improvements and that several states have been benefited by public works which the others need ing them equally asmuch have been denied.

MORE LIKE AN AGREEMENT Senate and House Conferees Nearer Together When They Adjoaraed Last Night. APPROACHNG , EACH OTHER BY DEGREES Homo Member * of the Conference Not ricimcil With the Call for u Caucus Will Go ltlght Along with Their Work. WASHINGTON , Aug. G. The democratic tariff conferees were In session again today at 11 o'clock nnd resumed the work of tryIng - Ing to reach an agreement on the points of difference. When some of the members of the committee came out of the conference room nt 12 o'clock they stated that no progress had been made nnd that to all appearances the situation was the same ns It had bren for the past week. Secretary Carlisle had recently been called Into frequent consultation by Individual members of the conference committee. He was called on Saturday night by a sub committee of the conference. He made certain suggestions concerning the adminis trative features of some of the proposed compromise features nnd It Is understood that since the suggestions were received the conference has been considering their bear ing upon upon the questions at issue. The coal and Iron ore questions have been taken up with a view to reaching nn understand ing upon them but progress has been slow. It Is understood that the senate con ferees have Indicated a willingness to make a concession In the way of time that the duty shall continue , but not to lessen the amount of dut > provided in either case. The house members have not Indicated a disposition to accept this concession and arc understood to bo holding out for the terms of the house bill on these items. LOUISIANIANS' DEMANDS. The Louisiana senators are demanding the contlnuatllon of at least a part of the sugar bounty for the present year , but the prospect of the success of this demand does not ap pear to be bright , and there is an Increase of talk of the passing of the sugar bill In the event of the failure of the tariff bill , which la piobably intended largely to bring the Louisiana senators into line. AVhen the tariff conferees took a recess for lunch today two distinct views were presented. The house conferees and the men with whom they conversed seemed to think that an agreement might be reached scon. The senate conferees and these senators with whom they advise and consult seemed to think that the prospects were not so bright nnd that nn ultimate disagree ment would be reported. It was also stated that an end must be reached within two dajs and polther an agreement Ir report of disagreement made. Coal and Iron oie were tlie articles In dis pute , the conference having been trans ferred from sugar , which has so long en gaged the attention of the confeiees The contest over these articles Is very stubbornly made on both sides. The coal and Iron ore questions were considered today almost to the exclusion of every other topic , nnd the discussion pro ceeded upon a has s of the duty provided on these articles by the senate amendments , with the limitation of the time the duty shall continue to four years. The house conferees held out stubbornly for the entire recession of the senate from Its amend ments , and there appearing no possibility of reaching an understanding the senate con ferees withdrew to separate rooms , leavMig the house members to themselves The day closed with a request on the part of the house conferees that they be given until tomorrow to decide upon a line of action on the coal and Iron ore questions , and the re quest was granted. It Is now understood that the house members have agreed posi tively to accept or reject the senate position tomorrow , but that It Is possible they may subm t a counter proposition with the hope It will be acceptable to the senators. A member cf the coherence tonight said that with the coal and Iron ore questions dis posed of , there would be , ho thought , little moro time remaining to reach an agree ment on the entire bill , He admitted there was a virtual understanding on all the other schedules , Including sugar. He also said the developments so far made Indicated wide differences on coal and iron ore and they had net been of a character to Indicate an agreement at all. Still he was hopeful that common ground might bo found on these two articles. The Interview given out to night by Senator Voorhees as the official head * of the conference may change the entire aspect of the proceedings tomorrow , and it is not beyond the range of proba bilities that It will prove to be the'torch that will set off an explosion In either the com mittee or the senate tomorrow. iiri\iin : : HY GUOSVIINOU. .Judge lildiH rinds a Champion to stand Up for Him In tlio House. WASHINGTON , Aug. G , In the house to day a bill was passed granting to the Duluth - luth & Winnipeg Railroad company a right of way through the Ch.ppevva and White Earth Indian icsei vatlons. Mr. Johnsn , democrat of Ohio , as a mat ter of privilege , presented the irfemorlal of the Central Labor union of Cleveland , pray ing for the Impeachment of Augustus J. Ricks , United States judge of the northern district of Ohio. The memorial recited the charges against Judge Ricks ( already pub lished ) , alleging misappropriation of funds amounting to $1,155 , and other "crimes , misdemeanors nnd crookedness , " for which Impeachment proceedings were prayed for. Mr. Grosvenor , republican of Ohio , stated that In his opinion the charges arose out of a misunderstanding. He knew nothing personally about the facts and did not want to interfere , with a full in vestigation , but he thought It would "bo a matter of profound surprise to the bar of Ohio If any stain was found on Judge Ricks. " The memorial was lefcrred to the committee on judiciary. The petition of the Central Labor union of Cleveland Is a voluminous document giv ing In detail the charges that the judge be tween September 19 , 1SS9 , and December 27 , 1891 , converted to his own use various sums oRgrt'gating $1 , & ! > 5. U charges that the judge "has shown himself to bo a person wholly unfitted to properly perform the du ties and maintain the dignity and character of said judicial office , that he Is au unsafe and dangerous person to be entrusted and that the public vvclfnro requires that he be removed. " The seal of the Central Labor union Is on the document and It Is signed by Robert Dundlavv and Robert Barthe'o as commlt- tsc. Copies of the records of the court giving In detail the sums alleged to have been rats- appropriated are appended. Mr. Johnson has requested the judiciary commutes to give It attention as soon as possible. Judge Ricks Issued ono of the first Injunctions against the railroad em ployes In the Ann Arbor strike. A bill was passed granting to the Kansas City , Oklahoma & Pacific Railway company a right of way through Indian Territory. At 4.50 p. m. the house adjourned. SUNATOU MII.I.S ON TAXATION. Down Its Ciirdliml Principles In the Form of ii Ilmolutloii , WASHINGTON , Aug. G. In the senate today - day a resolution was Introduced by Mr. Mills , democrat of Texas , and ordered to He on the table temporarily , declaring that In the revision of the existing system of national taxation the following principles should be observed : first That all taxes are burdens on the taxpayers and can only be rightfully Im posed to raise revenue to support the Gov ernment. Secdnil That when taxes 'are Imposed on Imported goods the rntj ilionld be so low ns not to materially restrict Importation. Third That In sclecitnc articles to bo taxed , only those ready tor consumption should bo cliofen and these Imported for manufacture or manufacturers should be ex empted. , The resolution offered on August I by Mr. Chandler looking tb flip Investigation of the Dominion Coal company of Nova Scotia , and the substitute offered by Mr. Mills In the way of nn addition to the original reso lution providing that a special committee of five should be directed to report to the senate whether any member of congress Is or was Interested In anycompany engaged In mining coal In any of the states of the United States or any railroad company engaged In trans- portlnc coal which would come Into compe tition with the Dominion Coal company , and whether Its removal would reduce the price of coal to consumers and what section of the country would be benefited by Its retention , came up. Discussion arose between Mr. Mills and Mr Chandler as to whether the old "sugar" committee should be entrusted with this Investigation or whether a new committee si culd bo appointed. Mr. Mills favored the retention of the old committee , becaiifc , as he said. It was honest and had recently made an exhaustive Investigation and had reported that the charges made against senators had not bcn sustained. "Is that the reason that the senator from Tesas favors this comnllttce ? " asked Mr. Chandler. Mr. Mills denied that ho was Influenced by any such motives nnd expressed his willing ness to have a new committee appointed If Mr. Chandler preferred. PROSPECT OK PEACE. AVhen the democratic- conference adjourned today there seemed td be a better feeling [ 11110112 the conferees than at the close of the previous session. 'Members from both houses announced the committee had been working over the schedules and that progress was being made , but they did not Indicate when n report would bo reached , though some of the conferees expressed the opinion an agreement was In Right. For a considerable portion of the day the senators were not In the conference room , but It was stated no significance was to be attached to that fact , as they wcro working toward an agreement. These senators occa sionally repaired to the committee room of Senator Vest and ( sometimes were In consul tation with dcmocrattd managers In the room of the committee on appropriations. Considerable surprise was expressed by the conferees when they learned that a call for a house caucus had been Issued and It evidently was very distasteful to the house members , who had felt they were beginning to see an agreement. Mr. Montgomery said the caucus would make no difference so far ns he was concerned aud he would continue the work he was engaged In unless some ac tion , very different from , that which he an- tlclptted , would be takenby the caucus. He said that while the [ Caucus was In progress the conferees would be ht work. The bill for the denudation of anarch sts then came up and Mr.- mil evplalned Its provisions. Unless puie action was taken by this government , such as was now be fore the senate , thiscduntry , he said , would soon be the dumping groiind for the anarch ists of the world. It was not Intended to make the belief In anarchy a cr.me , and therefore no attempt had been made to define anarchy. Hefavored , the provision of the senate bill for inspection by treasuiy agents instead of by consuls and was sure no one could attribute his attitude on this section to a desire to becuro more patronage for the secretary of the treasury. There were no politics In the bill , and he favored It because it was .better than the house bill. ' \ Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts expressed the belief that both bills vtc-re'Jnadequate for the purpose of restricting Immigration , but ho was anxious to see , toirie restriction placed on Immigration , no matter how slight It might be . Mr. Palmer pointed out the difficulty of * dealing fairly with the question and the danger of doing Injustice to the .harmless socialists while protecting ourselves against the danger of anarchists. Ho asked Mr. Hill whether the bill would apply to undesirable persons already In the country and Mr. Hill replied It would. The discussion then took on a legal aspect and hinged upon the right of a country to protect Itself against un desirable aliens. Mr. Hill pointed out the moderation of the pending bill as compared with the act recently passed by the English parliament. ' Mr. Kjlo of South Dakota asked him to more accurately define the term anarchist , for there wore , lie sajd , peaceable and learned people In Boston . .who held It was possible for people to become so highly civ ilized as to live together without laws and therefore , according to the usual definition , they were anarchists. Mr. Hill replied .they wcro at liberty to have this belief , but If they tried to over turn the laws , with the purpose of putting their belief to the test , then they became dangerous. After some further debate nnd the adoption of some amendments the bill was passed and Messrs. Hill , Faulkner nnd Chandler were appointed conferees. At 0:30 : the senate went Into executive session and at 5:45 adjourned. Somn .Jnillcliil Nominations. WASHINGTON , Aug. G.

The editor of the Mo bile ( Ala. ) Register telegraphs the general malinger of the Associated press at 11 p. m. ns follows. Oates election assured by a ma jority ranging nil ) w hero from 30,000 to CO- 000. The southern part of the state Is al most solidly democratic , while returns from the not them counties give bettor promise than In 1S9J. .Many counties that polled a close vote In KS'J. give good majorities for the full democraticticket. .

Gates' gains nro generally distributed over the state and are In the white counties. Senator Morgan's return to the senate Is assured. At 1.20 a m. the estimate of Chairman Thompklns of the democratic committee seems to be berne out by the returns. Ho claims 25.000 majority , having n majority tn both branches of the legisla ture. ture.Auc. Auc. 7. ( t n. m ) Returns continue to show democratic gains , with n prob-iblo dem ocratic majority of ton in the legislature. Kolb's majority In northern Alabama Is 15,000 to 18,000 , which will be offset by Gates' majority of 15,000 to10,000 In southern and middle Alabama. MEMPHIS , Aug. ( ! . A Commercial-Appeal special from Birmingham , Ala , says. De spite the fact that the campaign Just closed has been the most bitter ever known In the state , the election today passed off quietly and few disturb incos are reported. The new Sajro election law , n modified form of the Austiallan ballot sjstein , enacted by the last legislature , was put In operation for the first time and worked smoothly. The ballot was a secret one. The voting was slow and for that resasoii the vote was greatly lighter than In 1S92. The negroes did not cut much figure , as they cither dhl not vote at all or voted almost solidly fo' Oatcs In southern and middle Alabama , while In northern Alabama la majority were for Kolb The white republi cans wore for Kolb almost to a man. Sev eral disturbances occurred in this county. At Bessemer the Kolbltes rnptured the polls and ninny dem crats were pi evented from voting by delay on the part of the managers. Two Kolb to managers were arrested foe , perjury at Broaksldc , where all the ballots wcro stolen last night , and no new ones could be had until this afternoon , In this county ( Jefferson ) the dempcrats lost heavily on account of labor troubles , and the result Is In doubt Incomplete returns froth various counties of the state Indicate that In south and inlddlo Alabama the democrats have made gains In every county except Mobile , where the vote was light , the c ty of Mobile giving only 700 democratic , majority against 3,000 last year. The result In north Alabama Is about the Fame cs It was two years ago. That Is Kolb's stronghold , and he 1ms car ried the same counties he did In the last election. In south and middle Alabama the returns show democratic gains , which will give the state to Oates by 18,000 or 20,000. The legislature Is doubtful. The legislature will elect n successor to Senator Morgan , and the democrats are anxious over the re turns , MONTGOMERY , Ala. , Aug. G. The elec tion hero nnd all through the state was perfectly quiet. Rain fell all day and the vote was cut down in consequence. Only scattering retuins have been so far received. This city and county will give about 3,000 majority for the democratic ticket. Demo crats seemed to have gained In nearly every locality heard from and some of the counties that gave Kolb a majority In 1883 have gone for Oatcs. No definite statement Is possible. MOBILE , Ala. . Aug. G. Returns are com ing In hlowly. The majority for Dates In this city will be about 700 ; In the whole county It will be about 1,000. iliiR IIKI AlHlmnm Election. WASHINGTON , Aug. G.

Wo will carry Jefferson county , Including Birming ham. If they ilo not icpcat the frauds of , 1S92 In the sixteen black belt counties , wo will carry the state by at least 30,000 ma jority.
