WASHINGTON NOTES
GOSSIP OFTHK CAPITAL IN BRIEF
PARAGRAPHS.
Doings of the Chiefs and Heads of the
Various Departments.
Iu the city of Washington, this
month, the first annual convention of
the National Mission Union will be
held. It will be a notable gathering
of rescue workers from all parts of the
land.
Secretary of State Olney has re¬
ceived the following cable from Min¬
ister Terrel, dated at Thernpin, a sub¬
urb of Constantinople: “Thero has
been tranquility for tho last forty-
eight hours, lviatnil Paska was ap¬
pointed grand vizier. Dreading the
influence of recent events in distant
provinces, I have reuowcd my demand
for efficient protection of mission¬
aries.”
United States Mint Director Proston
lias received unofficial information from
Russia to the effect that the gold pro¬
duction of Siberia would this year
largely excoed tho output of last year,
when Russia produced $25,000,000 of
gold. Mr. Preston estimates the gold
production of the world this year at
moro than $ 200 , 000,000 and that of the
United States at $ 10 , 000 , 000 , being an
increase over last year of about
$ 0 , 000 , 000 .
Collector Wise, nt San Francisco,
has been icstructed by Acting Secre¬
tary Hamlin to deport all the Chinese
who were admitted as laborers for the
midwinter exposition. Tbo Chinese
under the law were entitled to remain
one year, but have overstayed that
time. A month ago the Chinese la¬
borers had it announced to the treas¬
ury department that they had de¬
parted, but tit's has been discovered to
be a Chim Be trick to throw tho au¬
thorities off the track.
Attention is called to a very import¬
ant but much neglected source of na¬
tional wealth hy United StateB Consul
Chancellor at Havre ju a report to tho
state department upon tho peat indus¬
try. As America possesses au inex¬
haustible supply of peat, the consul
points out how, in view of recent de¬
velopments in Europe, it may some
(lay open up an extensive field for the
employment of capital and labor. The
application of this snbstauco seems to
be practically endless.
Renewed interest iu tho Waller case
has been aroused at Washington by
the receipt of a telegram from Ambas¬
sador Eustis, announcing that the re¬
cord and accompanying documents
had been received at the foreign office
in Pal is, and were being translated.
Although Mr. Eustis does not say so
in his dispatch, the presumption is
that tho French government, in ac¬
cordance with its promise, will deliver
a copy to Mr. Eustis as soon ns the
translation is completed.
The consul general of the United
States at Mexico City has sent to tho
stato department a detailed report
upon the changes proposed to be made
by the Mexican government iu the
tariff system of that country through
bills now pending before congress.
The purpose is to abolish the system
of interstate tariff duties known as tho
“alcabaln.” The consul general be¬
lieves that if the proposed Mexico changes are
agreed to our trade with will
be greatly increased, for the old sys¬
tem has restricted American enterprise
and repelled American capital.
Tension Roll Increases.
A year ago Commissioner of Pensions
Lochren said that the limit had prob¬
ably been reached in the number of
pensions, or rather in tlie amount to be
yearly appropriated for pensions. It
was his opinion that thero would ho a
slight reduction in the number of pen-
siouera on account of deaths, but that
the allowanco of new pensions with
back pay and arrearage would prob¬
ably keep tho amount about even.
While the amount of money paid for
pensions will not ba materially differ-
ent from that of past years it appears
( ba (. there has Been added to the pen-
sion rolls during the year about a
thousand names in excess of those that
have dropped out, so that there has
been an increase instead of a decrease.
There have been a great many out-
standing pension claims adjusted dur-
j U g tin; year, and that accounts for tho
largo increase. Tho year has not been
verv fatal to pensioners, the death rate
being less than would be anticipated
a t the time of life at which tho veter-
ans of tho late war have arrived.

JAPAN WANTS COTTON.
Movement to Establish a Line ot
Steamers to West Coast ot Mexico.
Colonel John A. Cockerill, writing
from Yokohama, Japan, to tho Manu¬
facturers’ Becortl, says: of
“The cotton spinners association
Osaka is now trying to induce the
Japanese government to subsidize a
line of steamers to ply between Osaka
and Yokohama and a point on tho weat
coast of Mexico. Tho idea is to secure
a steamship lino wholly controlled hy
the Japanese government and which
will connect with tho Tehuantepec
railway. thought the
“By this route it is
cotton of the southern states can be
reached cheaper than hy the way of
Taooma. It is moro than likely that
this enterprise will be carried out, for
the Japanese aro giving great atten¬
tion to the subject of colonization in
Mexico.
“Another company has been formed
here with Viscount Euouiato at its
head to purchase lands in Mexico and
locate thereon some of the surplus
population of Japan. Japan is des-
tinod to become one of the greatest
ootton spinning countries of the world.
She will purchase 90 per cent of her
raw material in tho United States
when the transportation rates aro
properly adjusted.”
ON NEUTRAL GROUND
The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Slugging
Mateli May lie Fought.
Tho officers of the champions, Cor¬
bett aud Fitzsimmons, will receive a
proposition from a syndicate of wealthy
sporting men of St. Joseph, Mo., to
bring off the fight on Sluggers’
island, a noted place for meeting
of prize fighters, and which has
already been the scene of sev¬
eral hard-fought battloB. This island,
which comprises about three acres,
is situated in tho middle of tho Mis¬
souri river, midway between tho Mis¬
souri and Kansas shores and is neutral
ground. The authorities of both stated
have unsuccessfully attempted to stop
prize fighting on this island and the
syndicate claim they will be able to
bring the fight off with no interfer-
once.
SOUTHERN’S ACQUISITION.
The AlahaniaGrcat Southern Control¬
led hy tho Southern.
A special from Birmingham, Ala. 1
says: “At the annual stockholders
meeting of tlie Alabama Great South-
ern railroad directors were elected, a
majority of whom are directors of tho
Southern Railway Company. This
places the latter in possession of tho
Alabama Great Southern, extending
from Chattanooga to Meridian, and in
a position to practically dictate and
control the Queen and Crescent from
Cincinnati to New Orleans. The
Southern Railway Company will begin
at once to oporato the Alabama Great
Southern.”

NOT IN TEXAS
WILL CORBETT AND FITZ8IM
MONS HAVE TIIEIR BOUT.
The Legislature Passes an Anti-Prize
Fight Law.
A Special from Austin, Texas, says;
Corbett and Fitzsimmons must find
another place than Texas to pull off
their fight for ibo proposed champion¬
ship of the world.
Tho legislature by a vote that was
practically unanimous in tho senate
and only a little less in the house, pass¬
ed the bill prohibiting prize lighting,
and thus accomplished the purpose for
which the governor assembled them in
special session.
The vote by which the bill was car¬
ried furnishes tho strongest proof of
tho sentiment of the state with refer¬
ence to prize lighting. The only rally¬
ing point of tho minority was opposi¬ which
tion to tho emergency clause
carried the bill into immediate effect.
Certain of tho members honestly re¬
garded this as an injustice to sueh of
the citizens of Dallas as hud spent
large sums in anticipation of the light
and opposed it for that reason alone.
Their arguments were not effective,
however, and tho vote iu the house on
the final passago of tho bill showed
but five votes in opposition with 107 iu
its favor. In’ tho senate tho bill
was carried with only one negative
vote in tho twenty-seven that were
cast. Tho sonnto made quick work of
tho measure. It had taken a rooe»"
until 3 p. m. iu order that Dallas pec-
plo might bo given a full hearing by
the judiciary committee. Within fifty-
live minutes after reassembling the bill
was passed. fighting fol-
The bill makes prize a
ony and imposes a punishment upon
tho principals for every infraction of
the law by imprisonment in tho peni-
tentiary for a term of not less than
two and not more than five years.
THREATENED COMPLICATION'S
With England Over the Yenc/.iirluu
Boundary Line.
A special to the New York Herald
from Washington says: Tho great in¬
ternational question of tho hour is the
Venezuelan boundary dispute.
Secretary Ambassador Olney has prepared a dis¬
patch to Bayard which
will soon bring tho matter to an issuo.
Thia dispatch is of a moat positive and
unequivocal nature. As soon as it
shall be placed beforo tbo British gov-
eminent it will raise an issue wbioh
can be settled only by tho retreat of
one or the other governments.
Tho stand taken by the United States
in this dispatch is one which involves
tho oldest aud most sacred traditions
of the government—an enforcement of
the Monroe doctrine.
Secretary Olney’s dispatch is in sub¬
stance a declaration in the most posi¬
tive languago that tho United States
will nover consent to British oecupa-
tion of the disputed territory in Von-
ezuela unless that nation’s right there¬
to is first, determined hy arbitration.
In polite but firm and significout
words, Secretary Olney declares it to Vie
the belief of the United Stales govern¬
ment that tho territorial claims which
Groat Britain has set up in Venezuela
are in the nature of an attempt to seize
territory on the American continent
to which she lias no legal right. The
secretary points out two horns to the
dilemma, leaving Great Britain to
choose which sho will accept.
First. If the quarrel with Venezuela
is an ordinary dispute, having its or¬
igin in faulty descriptions, imperfect
surveys or other misunderstandings,
a refusal to arbitrate the same is eon-
trary to the precedents of Great Brit¬
ain herself and contrary to tho practice
of all civilized nations
Second. If, on the other hand, n*
appears to bo the ease, and is tho be¬
lief of tho president of the United
States, the dispute as to tbo location
of a boundary line is a mere disguise
Under wnich Groat Britain is attempt¬
ing by superior force to extend this her
territorial possessions in America,
is directly violative of the Monroe
doctrine, and will never bo submitted
to by the United States.
PREACHERS TO PRAY
For the Success of Governor Culber¬
son’s Call on the Legislature.
Work on the amphitheater,intended
for the Corbett-F’itzsimmons’ mill, hns
not been resumed, and the building
stands as the mechanics left it Satur¬
day evening. President Stuart, of tho
Florida Athletic Club, says work on
the structure costs him $1,500 a day,
and he does not consider it good busi¬
ness judgment to take any chances on
what the legislature may do.
The Pastors’ association lias called a
Hpecial prayer meeting to pray for tho
success of Governor Culberson’s call
upon the legislature to pass the emer¬
gency law. Tho people of Dallas be¬
lieve the chances of beating tho emer¬
gency clauso are even.

NO DIVORCES.
South Carolina Takes a Unique Stand
In Respect to tbe Matter.
A Columbia, S. C., special says.
The fight, begun Monday night ou the
divorce law, continued all day Tues¬
day. By a vote of 86 to 49 the con¬
vention adopted a strict section tha
“no divorce shall ever be granted i
this state”—not for any cause what
ever. effort
Senator Tillmau made a big other
to have divorces granted in

overwhelmingly voted down, Th.

divorce clauso as adopted.
IUOT IN CONSTANTINOPLE.
Many Helpless Armenians Heaton to
Death by Turks.
To add to the state of terror provail-
ing at Constantinople, a third slight
earthquake was experienced theta
Wednesday. This, with the rioting
and bloodshed, the imprisonment of
about 500 Armenians, the killing of
prisoners in cold blood and the pres¬
ence of troops under arms at all points
is well calculated to excite even the
numt phlegmatic lurk.
The noting and blood-letting which
began on Monday was renewed on
l uesday evening 1.1 spite of a the
precautions taken by the authorities of
the muoh disturbed city. On lues-

authorities, „ ... not , a s.uglo . , policeman ..
appeared on the scene, and no attempt
was made to save the lives of tho Ar-
uiemaus.
The Riot Was Deliberate.
Tho critical condition of affairs at
Constantinople ib tho sensation of the
day in Loudon, and all tho dispatches
from that city are read with tho greftt-
est eagerness.
In spito of tho assurance to tho con-
trnry of tho Armenian committee of
London, tho belief prevails in official
circles that tho rioting nt Constanti-
noplo was really deliberately planned,
brought about by the Armenian agita-
tors who aro desirous of forcing tho
hands of the powers iu order to bring
about diroct interference upon tho
part of Great Dritniu, Erauoe and
Russia in the administration of Ar-
monin.
It is now known definitely that at
least five Armenians were killed after
they had boon arrested on Monday and
this has caused great indignation.
NO LOWER RATES.
Western Railroad Officials Refuse
Further Reduction.
A Chicago special says: Atlanta ex-
position rates from tho west will be no
lower than 25 per cent of the double
looal8 unless developments arise to
change the minds of western passenger their
officials. They have reaffirmed
former decision to inako no more than
l )er cent reduction and nlso
agreed to ignore the greater reduction
made by the Kansas City, Fort Scott
and Memphis from Kansas City. 1 lie
officials that in no caso would they
be justified in making a further reduc¬
tion to last tho three months of the
exposition.

The Platform.
Tho platform condemn lliu demo¬
cratic tariff policy and says that the
republican party is not pledged American to any
schedules, hut offers to each
industry such protection as shall
equalize differences iu price of labor,
“and that the fanner and tho miner
are as much entitled to protection as
the manufacturer." lib¬
It says that if republicans furnished were
eral m appropriations they
revoniio to moot them aud steadily re¬
duoed tho public debt. The last cou-
gross provided a rovemte shamefully
nadequate and by the issue of bonds
shifted on to the succeeding adminis¬
trations tho burdens of their outlay.”
On tho currency question the plat-
form says that the government should
maintain each dollar which it issues
on ft par with its standard gold dollar
and should not permit the free coin¬
age of silver ot any ratio not establish¬
ed by the international agreement.
It also soys that the democratic ma¬
jority in congress has forced tho na¬
tional treasury to a humiliating de¬
pendency upon private bankers and
that there should bo legislation to pro¬
tect the metallic reserve from concert¬
ed attacks of speculators. hemisphere
It declares: Tliut this
is no longer a subject for European
colonization, that the Monroe doctrine
is a true guide for American states¬
manship and should be maintained to¬
wards Hinull nations without bluster¬
ing, towards great nations’ without
cringing, but always deliberately,
temperately, resolutely. ”
