ruins them.

establish the government or the republic.
The representatives are : Dr Joaquin Cas

BOSTON , Aug 13.-No Information has
been received at the Japanese legaton In
confrmaton or tenhl ! or the report that a
cabinet crsle ! existing In Japan , though the
legation ! would not necessarily bo informed of
-S such nn ocurrence untIl the formation or a
new mlulstr The report or the dissolu-
ton was , however , a surprise to the mem-
bore or the legatian. While accustomed to
. look upon Counts Ito anti Yamagata as almost
or the Japanese
permanent parts government ,
they admit that there has been dissatisfaction !
expressed among the opposition politicians
concerning the recession from the terms or
the orIginal treaty , and It Is surmised that
any cabinet changes will bo due to thLq
crlticsm. ! They think , however , a change on
this account Is Improbable , as In Japan the
. ministry Is the creation of the emperor and
Its continuance In otep In I no wise de-
penllent upon popular approval , except so far
as the mInister may personally be influenced
by it.
I urlhtrmoro , they find It difficult to re-
aHzo that there should be any misunderstandIng -
log on .ho 11estlon ! or ranlt Bolh Ito and
Y Jmagat ere couuts. The former holds the
hIghest decoratIon wIthin the gift of the
emperor anti ! the later Is I marshal or the
empire. I h not understood why men who
have hitherto been highly honored < 1 should
make trouble over the conference or an loner
whIch would be only a slight advance over
their present stJlus , No one at the legation
wi venture nn opinion lS to who might
' succeed Count Ito as prime mllster In case
at his permanent retrement ,

Senator Vest was then asked to explain the
acton or Kentucky and Io\\a , Ir the feeling

In regard to the pospecls or an ' international -

marked : .I Is generally conceded that the
other powers are awaiting the acton ! or Eng-

not alter the gold standard . A prominent

man who had the confidence or the new min-
Istry and he hal several long s
on the subject with : Ir. John \Vanainaker.
"lie saIl : 'Hest assured that England will
not alter the gold standard. ' "
Referring to the outlook at home the sena-

decreasing and the treasury Is likely to be
obliged to make another bargain with the
s'ndlcate. 1 regard It as an outrage that We
should be obliged to pay a bantis or $11,000-

petuate time trust , which had been declared
an illegal monopoly by the supreme court or

The decl.slol or Judge O'Drlen , which Is In :
favor of the reorganlzlton commilee , makes I
It clear that those stcckholers ! who do not i
approve or the committee's scheme have recourse - I
course In law ror any InjurIes they may sus- . .

The great difficulty . as , eome oJ the naval
officers pint out , with oil the vessels buIlt
for the United Stales navy Is that according
to the laws under which they are constructed
they are to show 1 specified draft uMer a
"normal" , lsphcem nl. Ths : "normal" displacement -
placement 19 construed by the builders as her
lightest possible commdltiom' . . A vessel with a
"normal" diaplacenmemmt . for Instance , or 7,500
tons and a draft or twenty.ue feet wl , ' when I
coaled and ready for service , show a tHsplace- I
ment or perhaps 9,000 tons and a draft of :
lwenty-three or twenty-rcu feet. The cruiser .
Columbia that , acocrdlnK to the law under i
which she was constructed showed a displacement -
placement or 7,350 tons sOl a drat or abut
twenty-two feet on her recent trp : across the
Atlantic , with her coal bunters ! full , had a
displacement or about 8,800 tons and a draft !
or about twent-sx ! reet. According to the
records or the department. the I'hslladeph'a :
has never been down to the "normal" il-
placement since her trial ' 'trIp ; At the near-
cst approach to this her coal bunke were
! nearb' em ply , had they been absolutely so
she would hlve shown hut twent-three tons
below her "normal" dLplacement.
"Congress . . said a naval 'If lr , "should
Indicate the displacement and draft or a yes-
Eel to be constructell as I wculd be when

PIT''SDUII Aug. 13.-Irs answer l ( the
dIrect questIon or the Associated press reporter -
porter as to whether there had or had not
been negolatons between the Westnghouso
company and the General Electric company
within the past few weeks , looking to n
fixing or prices and t'ne arrlngements or pat-
cot maters , Mr. George Westinghouse , pres-
Ident or the company , today made the following -
lowing statement : "Home three months ago
Mr. 'womble ) an Inllllnlan director or the
General Electric company , asked me I time
Westnghouse eOmln would be willing to
discuss an arrngement with reference to the
exchange or patent lIcenses between the two
comranles upon I basis which would e.tab-
l h their values all thereby terminate the
ccst ) , lItigation between tIe two companies
which had already involved large expenditures.
Mr. Twombey : was Inrorlli that time WestInghouse -
Inghouse company would enter Into a general
exchange or licenses upon an equItable h3sls ,
and thereul10n a memorandum was drawn
and commlteei were appointed by both par-
ties _ upon the lines or such n memorandumns
No meetings or those commltls were hell , ,
for reasons l'llat onlY General ElectrIc 0111-
daIs can explain , It having ben said to
hlvo been due to irreconcIlable dIfferences
among themselves.
"Another attempt was made by two hnpor-
tant dIrectors , or the two companlC about a
month ago , which came to nothing. FoJowLng
these two faIlures , another effort was made
by Mr. Coffin or the General ElectrIc company -
pany to bring about the exchange desired ,
Two commItees were appointed and they met
In New York last week , but reached < no
conclusion . TIme General Electric company
having receded from a general agreement reran
an exchange or licenses suggested that they'
be allowed thirty t ( sixty days 10 consider the
matter. The Westnghouse company declined
to go rurther , because I was apparent that
the negotiatIons hall already been used In
Wall street for stock Jobbing purposes . where
It was stated that the two comp nles had
practIcally agreed as to prices and a Ilvlslon
or territories , neither or which proposllL
could the Westinghouse company entertain for
a moment , being contrary to good business
princIples and contrary to law. "

NEW YORK , Aug. 13-The cause or the
colapse or the Ireland buiding , In which
fifteen lives were lost , came to lIght today ,
when the workmen engaged In clearing away
the debris In the cellar uncovered an old !
rashloned well under the roundalon , I was
sltuatl dIrectly under the central pillar or
the structure , the unllermlnlng of which precipitated -
cipiated the dlsarter. The well was only
eighteen Inches below the concrete base on
whIch the Illar rested I was six feet deep
by eight feet In diameter. The buildIng experts -
ports examined the well , but would give no
opinion ems the matter. One expert said that
neither the contractor nor the omcers or the
buildIng department could have been aware
or the fact that the veil was there , nor or
the fact that its fling was too soft . A rep-
relenlatve or the district attorney's omce
will attend the Inquest on the bodies , and Ir
any evIdence or crIminaly Is dIscovered the
case wIll be laid before the jury.
Another badly mutIlated ! and decomposed

was identified as Peter Mumreruo an ItalIan

been In the building Is mining , and , ! It Is
