TOKJO, May 24.—Although there was an ^abatement early to-day of approximately four degrees in his fever, the temperature of Emperor i Yoshihito, who is ill of pneumonia, 1 late rose more than two degrees. It was 101.48 degrees this afternoon. The following bulletin wan issued j this morning from the Aoyoma pal- 1 ace, signed by two of the eight phy sicians who are attending the imper ial patient: - v ’ His Majesty has passed a favor- , able night and shows encouraging improvement. Tis temperature is 99.2. pulse 76 and respiration 36.” Xewu that improvement was shown "I will show its absolute absurdity with such clearness that no room will be left for doubt. It will be so plain that he who runs may read. It won't require any detective to show that it is a frame-up. and one of the clum siest and crudest that ever was at tempted Says Coleman Approved. “That Cole-man affidavit, in which the mother and stepfather of the murdered Mary Phagan are made to say that they never hired me or ap proved of me a* an attorney to prose cute the Phagan slayer, was extorted, in my opinion. As a matter of fact, I never said 1 was employed by the Colemans. 1 announced that I had been engaged by residents of Red wood who were friends of the be reaved family It in true, however, that Mr. Coleman approved of my selection. 1 never offered $1,000 for th* possession of inis affidavit. •‘Neither is It true that I went to Mayor \V bod ward and told him that there was lots of graft In the city. but. that it would take a good deal of money to uncover it. I had only a brief conversation with the Mayor, and 1 told him at the time that I did not wish to undertake anything or be come interested in anything that would take my time from the prose cution of the Phagan case. It was not understood that 1 whs to probe Into the city's graft conditions Will Expose Colyar. "Along with my detailed statement to-morrow 1 shall make public some of the startling incidents in the ca reer of this man Colyar 1 have known his history for years.

He said he knew ihat hush money was being paid the police authorities by the proprietors of disorderly houses "I*said to him: Don't you know. Colyar. that nobody would believe a word you had to say? If you’ve got any papers that you thlpk are worth anything, you can bring them to mo and I’ll look them over.' It is from these conversations that we had in my office that he has framed up ’this so-called dictograph conversation, adding the conversation that gives it the appearance of an attempt to bribe. Burns Fought, He Says. "It is nothing but a plot to g“t me out of the Phagan case, but I am certain of one thing, and that is that Burns and Toble, if they are not circumvented by this gang, will have the guilt fixed upon the rigm person within a very short time after Burns arrives here They will have to work against difficulties, for as soon as it became known that Burns was going to enter the oa>v all of the witnesses were instructed not to talk to any of the Burns operatives although they had been allowed to talk to the Pinkertons, hired by the National Pencil Company, without reserv e." Colonel Felder is bitter in nig at titude toward Colyar ami the people he represents, and declares that lie will have them "shown up” w’thin another 24 hours. He was so harassed by the con stant ringing of the telephone Friday n»ght that, with Mrs. Felder «he left home shortly after 7 o’clock . ith the intention, he said, of hiding himself somewhere up town.

Who is A. 8. Colyar ’ The records show' that Colyar was once confined in the Middle Tennes see Insane Asylum, and that more recently he was sent to Lyons View* the East Tennessee Asylum. Infor mation from Nashville is that lie served time in prisons all over the State, as well as In Sing Sing, New York, and a Jail in Virginia. Tele grams from Chattanooga paint him as a wild adventurer who spends con siderable time in prlfcon and is al- ways in trouble. In Prison Many Timet. NASHVILLE. TKNN . May 24. A. S. Coiyai is a soil of the late A. S. Colyar, of this city, one of the most brilliant lawyers and statesmen Ten nessee ever produced. When not vio lently Insane his mind works bril liantly. but always to tlie* wrong end. He lias been in prison time after time, but always evaded long sentences through Influence of his father’s friends. Young Colyar’s most noted exploit, as it is understood here, consisted in connection with the famous MolUneux murder case in New York. He went from Nashville to New- York, saw General Mollineux and offered to have his son acquitted for $20,000. "Your son is innocent," Colyar Is reported to have said. "On*- of mv clients, now in the Tennessee peni tentiary, is guilty. He confessed to me. For $20,000 I can get him out of the penitentiary, birng him here, in duce him to confess and save your son's life." Next day. so the story here rune. General Mollineux advanced him half tiie money. Colyar went back to Nashville. engaged a well-known pickpocket as a confederate, took him to New York with half a doxen guards and claimed the rest of the $20,000. The ruse might have worked, except for the fact that an assistant district attorney secured information about Colyar and blocked his plans. Wants Congress to Govern All Aliens WASHINGTON. May 24.—That Congress shall have the right to leg islate on questions affecting the right of citizens of foreign nations residing in the United States is the proposal of Representative Bartholdi of Mis- True Bills Already Drawn by Solicitor Against Frank and Lee. The Grand Jury resumed Saturday morning the Phagan murder case with indictments against Leo M. Frank and Newt Lee charging strangulation. While nothing definite could be learned, it was confidently' expected at the office of the Solicitor Satur day morning the case of Frank might be completed during the day. Only a few more witnesses were to be (ailed. It was learned, and these could tell what they knew In a few hours. The Indictments are the first of the kind to have been drawn in Fulton County in the recollection of the old est court officials, and for ibis reason the exact verbiage is being kept se cret. eFaring that If the indictments are not drawn in strict conformity to law, thorn wupld of course be some question of thefi validity, and there being so little law on this particular form of indictment, the Solicitor would not make public the phrasing of the bill until his assistant could find some precedent In the Supreme Court records. It became known Saturday that none of the 'star’’ witnesses for the State would go before the Grand Jury unless at the last moment the Solicitor thought It would be neces sary to introduce them to secure a bill. 'Phose who testified Friday wen the detectives who appeared before the Coroner, and similar witnesses are awaiting their turn to lie called upon Saturday. The city detectives arc the princi pal witnesses. From their investiga tion and examination of witnesses they are telling the Grand Jury ev erything they have found out. The Solicitor wfi-; confident this form of introducing evidence would not only greatly expedite matters, but would oresent the case in a more concise form Chief of Detectives Lanford said that lie could prove Frank was not at his homo the evening of the iniir- ier at the hours he said he was. • I can prove that Prank was not at his home during the hours on Sat urday night, the night of the murder. !hat he said he was. I will have witnesses to swear to this." was his statement. Tiie chief added that he had a great amount of other important evidence that has been more carefully’ guarded than some that had found Its wav nto the papers. Frank's statement at the Coroner's* inquest was that he reached his home shortly after 7 o’clock the evening of Saturday. April 26. and did not leave it until the following morning. The testimony of his mother-in-law and father-in-law substantiated his evi dence. They said that while they were engaged in a card game Frank was in 'he next room reading a magazine.

ATHENS, May 24.—The utmost gravity attends the Graeco-Bulgar situation, for dispatches from Saloni ka to-day reported that fierce fighting is still in progress between an army of 66,000 Bulgars and 4.000 Greeks. Fear is f£lt in quarters that war will be declared between the two coun tries unless an amicable understand ing is soon reached. While the fighting was brought about by the action of the Bulgars in crossing the neutral zone, there has been ill-feeling ever since Greece laid claim to Salonika last year. An ar tillery and infantry battle is in prog ress near Panghaion in Southern Al bania. An unofficial dispatch said that over 250 had been killed in 4S hours. Consternation has been caused here by the break, which, it is feared, will have an adverse influence upon peace negotiations with Turkey. M! NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
