European Powers, Washington Hears, Feel America Has Ex hausted Every Means for Peace. Issues in Dispute Are Clear Cut. Lack of Money and Realization of This Country’s Resources Alone May Hold Japan in Check and Prevent Declaration of War. By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. WASHINGTON, May 24.—In the serious international suit of the Em pire of Japan against the Republic of the United States the defense "rested" its case to-day upon the reply cabled last night by Baron Chinda to the Foreign Office at Tokio. The American reply reached the Japanese Capital about noon to-day. The prosecution of this suit now rests entirely with Japan. Officials of the State department tnd the Japanese Embassy believe .hat Japan’s rejoinder will reach Washington within the next ten days, as the issues are now clear cut, and po delay is necessary to a close. * The American Government in its polite reply has denied every con tention of the- Japanese Government, j Will Japan’s answer be peaceful | or provocative of strife? This is I the question upon which the Wilson | administration and the American people wait now with intense inter est and with resolute temper. There is no doubt that the adminis tration' has practically tied its own hands in any further reply to Japan. The American Government can not 6ttack the California law because it does not violate the treaty and is distinctly within the right of the State. Japan has not indicated the slightest inclination to test this law in the courts. The Vision of Dreamers. Only dreamers and theorists of government and Chautauqua orators, like Mr. Bryan, believe that Japan will be governed in the vital issue by any consideration of national friend ship or of abstract right. The men who think more and talk less are fully persuaded that two considerations, and only two, will re- strafin Japan. First—The size of Japan' s national debt and its financial fitness or unfit ness to undertake and endure a long struggle with the United States. Second—The full tinderstanding which these last several years have t given to Japan of the unlimited re sources of the United States and of the really titanic energies of a people now seemingly asleep in the apathy of commercial opulence and of luxuri ous enjoyments. Even the. most casual observer can siec that the administration is deeply - concerned. It is reported from the ’White House that the President is showing deeply the effects of the strain. Some of President Wilson's nearest advisers are confident that the Mika do’s rejoiner will be even more em phatic than the protest and will elab orate the question of national honor and the discriminatory spirit which the California law exhibits toward the Japanese people. Others hold the forthcoming re joinder will be strongly argumentative and transfer future negotiations to a strictly legal basis.. Pacific Means Exhausted, in the judgment of other nations the American Government has ex hausted every pacificatory expedient to satisfy Japan and to demonstrate that no treaty is violated. Between these two opinions the in telligent American citizen will have to take his choice and await results. The undersurface views of thinkers in Washington look with most serious apprehension toward the racial issue. At first the protest along this line was confined to the hotheads and jingoes in Japan.

Whittle, of the Slate Agricultural College, anil win■ inspired hg his articles which are a regular feature of Hcarst's Sunday American. I have read with much inter est your articles which have re cently appeared in Hearst's Sunday American on agricul tural subjects, and must say that they are by far the best articles on these subjects I have ever seen in the daily press. They are, as far as I am able to judge, thoroughly relia ble and contain just such mat ter that will be appreciated and understood by the average farmer. I most heartily con gratulate you on these articles, and would add that they ought to do much in calling attention of the people to the work of the State Agricultural College. Yours very truly, ?n State Geologist. I wish to congratulate you on the series of articles which you have been contributing to The Sunday American. Your presentation of the various subjects has been markedly clear, forceful and interesting. I have enjoyed reading each one. Very truly yours, n, n Asst. State Entomologist.

"I lost $800 a week ago playing poker." "Where did you play poker?” asked Stephen B. Rosenthal, counsel for the receiver. "There are so many gambling houses in New York I couldn’t re member." answered the witness. "What is a straight flush?” asked the lawyer. "I don’t know," said Appel. "Does a flush beat a straight?” “Don't ask me; I don’t know'.” "Does a full house beat a straight flush ?’’ “I couldn't say.” "No wonder poker ruined you,” commented the lawyer. Paprika Soon to Take The Place of Whisky Government Expert Says Its Use Destroys Desire for Strong Drink. WASHINGTON, May 24.’—It’s go ing to be the paprika highball and paprika cocktail soon if experts of the Department of Agriculture are right, and they declare that a generous sprinkling of the Hungarian product will take the place of whisky. The experts are going to disclose the re cipe in an official document soon to be issued as an argument for the cultivation of red pepper here. Professor Augustin, of the Univers ity of Berlin, after investigation, de clares that in Southern Germany and Austria-Hungary where large quan tities of paprika are used, the de sire for strong drink has almost disappeared. He will be quoted by the Department experts. Paprika is now dutiable at 2 1-2 cents a pound, but the beneficent Wil son tariff bill is going to reduce it to one cent.

Cambria County, has received assur ances that he will recover $2,520, with interest, for a house destroyed by rep resentatives of the State Board of Health following the Johnstown flood of May 31, 1889.

NO TREAT FOR HOTEL GUESTS Patrons of Savoy, London, Com plain Against Singer for Morn ing Vocal Exercises. “PIGS!” EXCLAIMS TENOR Knuckles Are Musical, Says Dr. William Lloyd, the Famous Throat Specialist. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, May 24.—Caruso has been highly insulted. It is almost certain that he will never stay at the Hotel Savoy again, and if his present bad temper con tinues he may slight ail England by cutting it off his list. Objections amounting to positive kicks have been made about his voice, and this right after Dr. William Lloyd, the famous throat specialist, had said that he was a human sing ing machine and even his knuckles were musical. But the tremendous insult came last and is uppermost in the tenor's mind. "Pigs,” is Caruso's only comment, but this one remark hides a multitude of profane thoughts that are evident ly surging through ills brain. It all came about because Caruso arises at 6 o'clock in the morning to test his voice. Clad in his pajamas, the singer opens wide the windows when he first gets up and fills the room and most of the hotel with a series of scales and other vocal oddities. Fashionable Guests Object. Fashionable London, and this in cludes the people staying at the Hotel Savoy, has been having an unusually gay time of late, however, and the other guests were losing much valua ble beauty sleep each morning when n waiter They delighted in Caruso at the prop er time, but objected strenuously to him as an alarm clock, especially at The first morning or two passed without any remonstrances, but on the third day some of the bolder per sons gave vent to their feelings. "Stop that noise” and "For good ness sake let us sleep!” made several C sharps fall off pitch, and Caruso's temperament began to sizzle. It boiled over when a formal protest was made to the management. There fore. the expressive "Pigs.” The kicks of the Savoy guests were registered against the world's perfect singing machine, according to Dr. Lloyd, who has just finished a thor ough examination of the tenor's throat. He found absolutely no traces of the catarrh which two years ago threat ened to end hi's career. Bones Are Musical. “Caruso's very bones are musical," said the doctor. "If you tap one of his knuckles, it gives out a higher pitched and more resonant tone than the average person. Among other things I have observed is the abnor mal length of the vocal tube. The distance from the front teeth to the vocal chords is half an inch longer than any tenor I have ever seen, ac counting to a great extent for the extraordinary compass pitch and vol ume of his voice. "Another point is that his vocal chords are extremely long, fully an eighth of an inch longer than any other singer's I have ever examined. When he sings a C sharp, they vi brate 550 times a second, which is phenomenal for a man, although in a soprano the vibration is much higher. Tetrazini, for instance, on a high jiote registers 2,200 vibrations a second." 19-Year Search For Heirs Ended George and Edward Walton Come Into Estate of $750,000 Left by English Uncle.

The disease of which the child died is known as Raynaud’s disease, and is very rare.

Municipal Poolrooms Needed, Says Pastor Places as Privately Operated Form Great Temptation to Young E'oys, He Charges. GALESBURG, ILLS, May 24— Rev. F. E. R. Miller, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, declares for the municipal ownership of pool halls and emphasized his position in a sermon. He aserts that under pri vate ownership the crowds that fre quent pool halls and the gaming practices that are frequently allow ed are demoralizing to boys. He con tended that under municipal owner ship these places would be properly conducted, as they now are under the auspices of the Young Men’s Christian Association. His position is based on recent revelations regard ing poolrooms here, the closing of one place bv the mayor and the suppres sion of slot machines in others. Governor Joseph M. Brown in an interview for The Sunday American, amazing in its frankness and engaging in its absolute candor, serves notice agaih upon the people of Georgia that so long as he is Chief Magistrate, the laws of Georgia must and shall be rigidly enforced. The Governor minces no words in stating his position, and cites specific instances of law violations of a character repugnant to his sense of right. The Governor's interview, which is sure to create a stir, follows : By JOSEPH M. BROWN, Governor of Georgia I am not now and never have been a pessimist, but, neverthe less, I will sa.v that certain events within the past few month* have been tendering to this and some other .States the issue of anarchy or illegally administered law. Among these events were strikes on public service corpora tions and factories, the dynamit ing of residences and other prop erty in the night, the threatened interruption of the courts in I he very act of applying the process prescribed by the Constitution and the invasion of jails by mobs, who. with the muzzles of guns, have forced officers of the State to surrender prisoners, who have then been unlawfully hanged. Georgia is a large State with a large population, and the events to which I refer have been but occasional and in different parts of her area, but they are developing a spirit of disregard of law which, if not sternly checked, will ere long hurst forth as anarchy, pure and sim ple. Now, it is an indisputable fact that an enormous majority of the people of this State is composed of lawabiding people. They have framed a Constitu tion and enacted laws for the protection of persons and property. THINKS PEOPLE SUPREME. They do not intend to lie down at night with the apprehension that the habitation of the humblest person will be dynamited as he and his family sleep. They do not intend that jails shall he broken into and parties in the custody of the State taken forcibly from the officers and killed. The State holds such killing as murder. And I will add that, since certain organizations have tendered to the State thp issue as to whether their will or the State's law shall be supreme, it will be demonstrated ttiat the vast majority of the people do NOT intend that the law shall bend to the power of any or all organizations. Taking a concrete case for illustration, when the State char tered the Georgia Railroad she not only gave it consent to run trains, but she commanded it to do so. And in her amended j Railroad Commission law she made it the duty of the- commission i "to order and compel the operation of sufficient and proper passen- ! ger service, when in its judgment inefficient or insufficient service I is being rendered the public or any community.” Code of Georgia, | Section 2864. SEES INJURY TO POOR. About 250 trainmen struck and forced the owners of the road to stop running the trains for twelve days. They and their con federates paralyzed the power of that road to serve the publk The public in the counties traversed by that road consisted, as shown by the last census, of 582,182 inhabitants. Thus these trainmen and those who incited them to this course openly and boldly affronted the State by setting her laws at naught; they injured hundreds of thousands of people by tem porarily depriving them of the powers of transportation which are necessary to their welfare. They struck a blow especially hard to the poor people, who were not able to pay the higher prices for food and other necessaries during the period of the strike. In fact, in these cases this suspension of transportation facilities shut down factories, thus depriving the employees of daily wages, which were needed for the purchase of food itself. Can anybody advance a plausible excuse—we can not say rea- 1 son—for this nullification of the State's law which commanded the .operation of that railroad for the benefit of the public? < an anybody claim that every other element of the State's citi-
