an equal footing with her all opponent
in an effort at arbitration.
As a diplomat nut it to-day: "If China
acknowledges her d-feat, let her. sue for
peace— not, however, with foreign coun
tries, but with her conqueror. Janar* d ; d
not enter upon this war for, principle
merely. She wanted to teach her old-time
enemy a lesson, and she has dune so.
The achievement has been expensive, and
she naturally does not like to be deprived
of the fruits of her victory because of the
philanthropic- sent, ments of disinterested
outsiders." __
CHINA'S APOLOGY.
She Is Not Looking for Trouble
With Great Britain.
Tientsin-, Nov. 14. — Officials of the
Chinese Government this rooming made
the apologies demanded by the British
Government officials for outrages com
mitted by the Chinese soldiers on the
British (Steamship Chang King in August.
The Chang King was saluted by the guns
at Taku forts and the required apology
was made to the British Minister.
London, Nov. 15.— The Chinese dis
patches to the Times say thousands of
refugees who were fleeing from Kin Chow
were mistaken for the enemy by the
Chinese troops and were fired upon.
Hundreds of them were killed.
SLOWLY CLOSING IN.
The Japs Capture One of the Out
posts of Port Arthur.
Washington, Nov. 14.— The Japanese
Minister, Mr. Ktirino, has received the
following cable dispatch from ToKio:
"Our army occupied Tal:euwan on the
afternoon of tbeS-h inst., bavins destroyed
the Chinese torpedoes. Our flee', trans
ports and torpedo-boats are safely an
chored in the buy. The torpedo station
with its equipments, charts of submarine
torpedoes, eight cannon. and ten telephone
lines and the telegraphs have been cap
tured..
FOREIGNERS IN DANGER.
All : Those in China Getting Ready
• for the Worst.
New; Yokk. Nov. 14.— E. Macley has
just received a letter from his brother, A.
L. Macley, dated at Tientsin. TheS letter
said: " . . ._ • • . •
"We are all under arms here, drilling
: every night under training of warship of
ficers. There is a Martini-Henry rifle at
iriy bedside and 2000 cartridges are under
my : bed, ready to let drive into any mob
that tries to take us by surprise at the dead
hour of night If I'm dead the next time
you hear frcm me you'll know I had the
satisfaction of selling out at a very high
price indeed, for I'll furnish free tickets
. per the Styx route to a good few hundred
„ of the : rowdy vagabond Chinese soldiers
before I.get a bayonet or spear through my
lungs.
"The. European and American legation
officials are flocking down from Peking
and the Prot?s ant and Catholic mission
aries are swarming into Tientsin from all
parts of tbe interior to make a final stand
lv this city, and as there will be about 1000
males of us, all well armed, it is entirely
likely we'll be able to make It hot for any
Chinese soldiers. From the Japanese we
fear nothing. They are civilized and con
duct themselves like tbe European armies,
whereas the Chinese are still the Cowardly
heathen they always have been. There is
a thicg, murky, ominous, typhoonlsh
threat in the atmosphere just now, and it
looks very much as if the Japanese were
going to succeed iv carrying out their
threat to capture Peking. Theyare get
ting nearer every day, and the palace
eunuchs .are in a dreadful funk. It all
hinges now on one thing— can the Japan
ese stand ibe freezing winter-- of North
China, so terrible compared to the balmy
climate of the Eastern Isles? If not.
there is a terrible massacro in store for
their armies when they have penetrated
some.distance Into China arid then try to
retreat again. It will be a repetition of
Napoleon in Russia.'"
RATHER A Bttj CONTRACT.
Japan Has Undertaken the Regenera-
tion of China.
Saburo Koya.the acting Japanese Consul
for the Pacific Coast in the absence of S.
Chinda, stated yesterday that no official
notification had been received at the con
sulate of the capture of Port Arthur.
"We are daily expecting a telegram," he
said. "As a rule we receive one two
days after an attack, but Port Arthur is
isolated from telegraphic communication
and on that account there has been an en
forced delay In receiving official confirma
tions of the rumors of its capture. Th«
news would have to be sent by official
messengers."
When questioned respecting the de-Ire
of .he Japanese to push the war, Mr.
Koya replied: "Oar parliament has de
cided beyond a doubt to. continue the cam
paign until our object in undertaking tbe
war is attained. The cause of the war is
not really thoroughly recognized abroad.
It is this: China is a big empire that the
great Euro neon powers .cast envious eyes
upon. Russia inthe north and England
and France in the south. These countries
have already obtained something, and
Japan fears that China may ultimately be
came a second India ; that is, be taken en
tirely by Europeans. Now, as Japanese
independence cannot be secured without
the independence of China, we have been
obliged to try to place China on a free
footing."
When asked how a country could be
made free by tbe invasion of a foreign
and hostile army, Sabnro Koya replied:
"If we defeat China she may become
aware of her own weakness, and of the
insufficiency of her present methods. We
want her to adopt modern methods, in fact
as you Americans would say, we want
China to 'brace up.' There are not want
ing Chinese who favor these changes. Li
Hung Chung, is an advocate of reform, so
is the leading Cabinet Minister at Peking-
We could not take and control China, th at
would be impossible, but we do want to
make her free and independent.
"When President Grant was in Japan,"
coutinued the Consul reflectively, "he gave
a long address to the Japanese statesmen
advising them to keep European armies
away from Asia as much as possible. Asia
for tbe Abilities is thoroughly in accord
ance with American principles. Asia for
the Asiatics is the dream of Ja: an to-day,
and if, China were taken by European
powers Japan would be in the position of
one power standing alone for the freedom
of its continent."
"But would not a modernized China be
a menace to the freedom of Japan?" was
asked. ".-*.-> ■'-■■''
Mr. Koya shook his, bead with a smile.
"That idea - presupposes the unity of
China, whereas the Chinese have no unity.
They are different peoples, with different
languages and different custom*. Look at
tbeir Consul-General her<>. lie speaks the
official language', and if he goes down into
Chinatown tbe speech of the people is a
foreign tongue to him— in the 6ense of
European countries that have different
dialects among one united nation, but a
different tongue that conveys no meaning
to him. It. is so all through China, and it
would take more than the adoption of
r»""ierQ methods to -blend the Chinese into
one; united and patriotic race. In fifty
years our statesmen might have to con
sider the question you have asked. To
our generation the enlightenment of China
is no menace."
When asked how the war would in his
opinion be pushed forward the Consul re-
Dded that either Peking or -Tientsin
would be the next points of attack. If
this were successful an attempt would be
made to alter the present form of Chinese
government and then the Japanese would
retire. "I ao not believe that any attempt
will be made to annex territory in China,"
he said. ''Some of our military men would
like Formosa, but it would require a
greater outlay of money to establish a
permanent garrison there and guard it
with warships than our Government could
well afford in the near future. It is the
opinion of competent authorities that Win
er need not hinder the progress of the
war. The weather Is very severe, but all
the mountains and plains will be frozen
and It will be easier to cross them than in
rainy weather. One of the most difficult
questions for the Japanese army to solve
is that of procuring food. Our Goveru-
ment seems determined not to interfere
with the inhabitants, and in spite of the
cruelty with which the Chinese have
treated Japanese prisoners the strictest
orders have recently been issued to treat
all Chinese prisoners with kindness and
consideration."
. The Consul then went on to sneak of am
bulance work among the Japanese: "Our
own soldiers and the wounded Chinese are
all sent to the hospitals at Hiroshima.
These institutions are directed by Mrs.
Kabayaraa, the wife of the head officer of
naval tactics. Many of the first ladles of
Japan have gone into the Red C ons hos
pitals, where they work hard in tending
the wounded. A number of these women
have gone to Korea, and. they have gone
without fear, lor even the Chinese respect
the Red Cross. All the hospitals are man
aged on the principles decided upon at the
Geneva convention and the methods of
treatment are modern.

his run of 122 Tuesday night and made his
score 1200, the limit for two nights' play,
the balls were Inside the line at the end of
the table. Ives finished his twen y-sixth
inning to-night and made a run of but nine
points. The score wlieu i lay commenced
was: Ives 1200. Schaefer 832.

the center of the table. Ives started and

aid Ives stopped after making one point
This gave the table to Schaefer again, who
ran his score up 23 points. Ives started in
again with a straight-line shot and a fol
low. He was a little nervous and missed
an opening after running only 6 points.
Schaefer had to take the balls separated,

There by a mlscue he got Ids cue ball be
hind them and In a follow-shot failed at
11. The layout was encouraging when

made 21. He missed on a ti.a-.-e.
At this point Schaefer commenced to
pick up and made a run of 61. He fell

and the next time he took his cue he ran
up 124 points. He was frequently ap
p'auded for his beautiful MM shuts. The
Wizard scored a blank and his opponent
ran the bslfa all over the green and did
nearly as he pleased. When he finished he
had run 67 and stopped by losing a masse.
When Schaefer went to work again he
made the best shot of the evening when he
made his twenty-seventh point of the In
ning. His cue ball was on the rail between

A WELL AS A BAROMETER.
It Is on a Cattaraugus Farm and
Infallibly Foretells Weather.
There Is a curious well on the Flint farm, ; In
the town or Gieat Valley, Cattaraugus County.
It is a natural barometer. Nobody ever passes
that farm, winter or summer. If the weather Is
settled, without asking something like this:
"Does the well threaten a eh nge?"
For every one knows that if there is bad
weather coming the well will let them know it,
sure as sure run be.
Tliey called he well up there the "whistling
well," although it doesn't whistle now. But
that In* any (unit ot the well. This well was
dug about fifty years ago by the father of Colonel
Flint, wiio now occupies the farm. He put li
down for y-tive feet, but found no water, and
dug no farther. Instead of water, a strong cui
rent of air came from the well at time*. The
opening was covered witn a big flat stone, and
for amusement a hole was drilled in the stone
and a big tin whistle fitted Into It. This
had two tones— one when . the air rushed up
from the well, and a different one when the
counter cunent sucKed the air back Into the
mysterious depths. it wasn't long before ihe
discovery was in de that within Imtv-elght
hours after the out rushing rem trom the well
started the whistle to shrieking a storm
followed. When the tone of the whistle was
changed by the leverslngof ibecurrent, it was
discovered that trie change ni-aut a change and
the coming of fair weather. These weather si*.
nals never failed. * When the weather was set
tled the whistle was silent. The whistle got
out of order some years ago. and,, for some
reason, was never lei aired, but the coming and
going currents of air still prophesy tbe coming
of their resp-ctive "spell** of weather" with un
varying lufaliibilliv — Exchange. \- •

WAR TALK IN OHIO.
Things Look Squally for
Coit.
HE ONLY DID HIS DUTY.
Yet Now He Is Threatened With
Lynching.
Mckinley will PROTECT him.
Serious Trouble Has Grown- Out of
the Shooting of Citizens by ,
Militiamen.
Coi.iTMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 14.— Great events
are brewing at Washington Courthouse.
Colonel Coit declines, by advice of bis at
torneys, to go to Fayette County 10 be
examined as a witness by the Coroner
concerning the nart ihe Fourteenth Regi
ment, Ohio National Guard, took in obedi
ence to the orders of Governor McKinley
to assist Sheriff Cook in protecting Dolby,
a negro -. no confessed to criminal assault
and who had been sentenced to twenty
years in the penitentiary. 'In giving that
protection four leisons were killed and
about a dozen wounded by the military
firing upon the mob, which had broken
open the doors of the courthouse to get the
negro. Colonel Coil's attorneys, Hon.
George K. Nash and Henry K. Booth,
assure the Governor that Colt'- life would
De placed in jeopardy by going. The
Coroner declines to come to Columbus to
take Cut's deposit. on, insisting that he
shall go there. Because of injury to their
business leading law-abiding citizens of
Washington Courthouse have assured the
Governor privately that if Coit were to go
there he and Sheriff Cook no doubt would
bo thrown into jail, charged with murder,
after which the Coroner would become
Sheriff ex-rfficio, and that men whose
friends were killed would ride through
the county and gather a mob and both
Colt and Cook, but especially Coi', would
be -tr.igij* d from the jail and lynched.
Governor McKinley has assured Colonel
Coit that II he were to go and harm wero
offered the whole power i>! the State and
nation. If necessary, would be sent to his
suptort.
Colonel Coil's reply to that is: "What
good woull that do my wife and family
afier 1 had been tiled or lynched?"
Lieutenant-Ccl nel W. N. P. Darrow, a
graduate of West Point, but now a citizen
aud an officer of the Fourteenth Regimen;,
Ohio National Guard, said to the Governor
that the regiment would not suffer ("oil io
be Injured, and asked the Governor to de
tail an escort to protect i im. Pending
this conversation aud while the Governor
was considering some plan by winch the
sending of the military -might be averted
Cnlonel D irrow said:
•'Governor.', the detail from the Four
teenth desires to go witn your official
sanction. If you c nnot see your way
clear to give such sanction I will have the
regiment go as individuals, and with guns,
to protest the colonel in case barm is
offered."
In that event and If shooting was to oc
cur and blood be spilled, the men, it would
seem, might be indicted for murder or
shooting with intent to kill. The situa
tion 13 very grave. It is so crave, i; deed,
that the reporter of the Associated Prest
cannot give the names of law-abiding citi
zens and will-known men at the Washing
ton Courthouse whom he has seen pri
vately and who are conferring privately
with the officers of the State. Attorneys
at Washington Courthouse who say that
the Governor and military did ritiht in
maintaining the law absolutely refuse to
assist in the legal detente of Coit because
it would be tantamount to making arrange
ments to practice law In some other c >uniy.
All law-abiding mouths in Washington
Courthouse are ill as death. The other
side is doing all the talking.
The. question which is confronting the
Governor is, shall a Sheilff elected and
sworn to execute law and a colonel ord- red
to his assistance be sacr heed for doing
their official duty?
Rev. Dr. Gladden, who denounced the
innb in a letter to tbe Columbus Dispatch,
declines to give out for publication letters
received from Washington Courthouse
trom both sides, because of the fact that
the writers would be made to suffer by
members of the mob. In one ot them he
was threatened with assassination if he
came there for any purpose, but he burned
that letter. It is mentioned to show the
feeling at the place.
ORGANIZING THE SENATE.
The Republicans in No Great Hurry
About It.
Washington, Nov. 14.— The declara
tions of Senators Stewart ana Puffer ren
der it somewhat uncertain whether the
Populist Senators or any of their number
will unite witb the Republican Senators
for the purpose of securing control of the
Senate alter the 4th of March. Without
this assistance it will, according to present
appearances, be impossible for the Repub
licans to regain control before 1897, or
after the next election. Giving them one
of the Senators to be elected in place of
Senators Ransom and Jarvis of North
Carolina, and not counting Jones of Ne
vada as a Republican; they cannot hope
for more than forty-three Republicans In
the Senate, and that is two less than will
be required for either organization or the
transaction of business.
The question has also been raised as to
whether the Republican Senators will
really desire to organize, and some of the
older and more experienced politicians
about Washington contend that they will
not so desire when they come to look the
ground over and weigh the various con
siderations involved. Tbe principal reason
for this view is the belief ti.at the older
and more experienced Republican mem
bers will be averse toassumtng the respon
sibility in the absence of real power to
transact business, which of course they
would not have unless there were a
majority of Senators paired to act with
them on questions of parly policy as well
as upon organization. . They call attention
to the fact that the House will be com
posed In a large measure of untried mem
l.ers, aud It is possible that man; of these
new men may be disposed to commit the
party to a legislative policy which might
prove to.be unwise, at least unavailing, in
the face of the fact that the Presidential
chair will still be in the hands of the
Democrats.
"What ien," they ask. "is the sense
of Republicans assuming the responsi
bility of power without being able to exer
cise it?"
To do this they contend they roust neces
sarily make some concessions the Popu
lists, who are liable to prove embarrass
ing. Continuing the argument in this
line, they say that tbe fact tbat the Re
publicans have not t ie Senate will prove a
check upon the House In case one is
needed and|enable the cooler members of
that body to bold the more radical In by
simply holding no tbe impossibility of
accomplishing anything and pointing out
the unwisdom of fruitless effort. On
the other hand the organization of the
Senate would give the Republicans no
advantage except that to be derived
from acquiring iffices and the control of
committee action, if Utah elects Repub
lican Senators and the Senatorial elec
lions in other States now go as the re
turns from the late election indicate they
will, this will give the Republican party
an absolute majority and definitely settle
he question. Or if either New Mexico or
Arizona should elect Republican Senators,
assuming that there would be do change
of programme ou the part of the Demi
crats in their do: icy as to States at the
short session, the effect would be the
same. The two Senators from either of
these proposed States would he sufficient
to give the Senate to tbe Republicans,
whereas if the Democrats should secure
Senators from all of them tbey would still
be short one of a majority.
Senator Ransom authorizes the Asso
ciated Press to deny the story published
this morning that he and (Senator Gorman
have been in consultation with a view of
having an extra session of the North
Carolina Legislature called in order to
select a Democratic Senator to succeed
Mr. -Jaivis, the new Legislature being
Fusion and the present Democratic. Sena
tor Random says the story is absurd on its
face, for the constitution of the State is
such that should an extra session of the
Legislature be called now the newly
elected members and not the old members
would be brought together.
The Republican National Congressional
Committee gives out a revised list of the
members of the House of Representative*
of the Fifty-fourth Congress. The total
credit-: the Republicans with 246 members,
the Democrats 104 and the Populists 6.
New York, Nov. 14.— A special to the
Evening Po»t from Raleigh, N. C, says:
Marion Butler, the president of the Na
tional Farmers' Alliance, who is slated to
succeed Senator Hansom in the United
States Seuate after Maich 4 next, is re
pi rted as having said he would vote with
the Republicans in the organization of the
next Senate. If this Is so the Republicans
can count on both of North Carolina's
votes in the organization ot the Senate, as
the other to be elected in January by the
Legislature to succeed Jarvis will be a
R -publican. •.*•' '.-.:,■
