I[e next mail from Japan will be [on the 27th, when it will be kn definitely whether 01 not Jamil accept Cooper's offer. I speaking of Count Oku ma's docat, Cooper said: Jnder date of Tokio, April 19, and Vbd by me at the hands of Mr. uuBura on May 11, was a letter ?en by Count Okuma, Japanese sterof foreign affairs, in which icited the fact of the nature of the rants by the Shinshim Maru on 1 9.

Erectly under the treaty of 1871 indirectly by application of roost Iored nations principal to treaties W in force between Hawaii and othsountries, Japanese citiz3ns are at srty freely and severally to enter h their ships and cargoes all places, ts and rivers in Hawaii which are n to foreign commerce 2.

Ia disregard of < Ae^e rights -wrote Count Okuma, 460 flroanese subjects, after being contin|HL for some considerable time and Without any judicial determination, ^Bithout having access to the courts, ^without having permission to consult With our representative, weia ignoHjiiniously expelled from the country. M It is not suggested that similar j reatment would under any circumKances be meted out to Hawaiian citiHens. In fact, the action was based Hpon the fact that the persons con erned are all aliens who by statutory j ction were deemed to be without the J erritorial limits of Hawaii. Count Okuma said also that his J overnment was convinced that act 17 j if 1895 and act 66 of the preceeding ? rear, if correctly interpreted by Hawiian authorities, is in contravention >f the existing treaty between the two J rovernments. The nrooer rafrnlaLion i Kf imigration, he admits, is the legiti-1 mate exercise of the pol'ce power of ] Ke 8tate, the reasonable 1 ivrs oj? the subject reasonably administered by BkLawaiians will provoke no remonstrance from Japan. In the present case khe laws were a reversal of the Bexisting precedence, arbitrarily and capriciously enforced and that extra judicial proceedings of the Hawaiian authorities were not conclusive and I the refusal of the court appealed to. to intervene was a denial, of justice. I nnnoliioinn Koi nn? f hof f Vto I ov.o n . I ese government entertained the ex pectation that this government will recognize the principle of indemnification and, further they ask for the aditional assurance that these acts will not be repeated. The particulrrs regarding the amount of the claim, Count Okuma would be made the subject of a further communication, but I may here i?ay, that the communication has net been received. Mr. Cooper said: "You will understand that my tirst letter was not one argument of defense. It was a mere statementcf facts. Thecorrespondcuce which has followed, has brought out other points and now this government has bc?n charged with shifting its policy to suit the occasion." Tortured in Spanish Prluosia. A band of anarchists who had been exiled from Spain arrived at Liverpool Thursday on their way to London. Several of the members of the party were interviewed and related their ex periences in Spanish prisons. Tftey said they had been fed upon salt lish and had been deprived of water for eight days at a time. The prison authorities promised to give them wuter if they would make confessions. Owing to this treatment one of their number went mad ana was shot down in 1_ H 1 1 i . l 1118 ceii. uiners were oranueu vmn hot irons, had their nails pulled out and were tortured in other ways. HOW Ht HAHPtlNt.U I U SAY I . Historic Observation of Oov^rn^r of N.O. to Governor of S. C. j Every man in tbe United States is supposed to know what tbe '"Gover! uor of North Carolina saH to the Governor of South Carolina," but perhaps some do not know when ana un! der what circumstances the famous reI "? 1_ i idhtk was maue. Nearly a centurr x<?o a man prominent in political affairs in North Carj o-ina moved across the border and setj tied in 8outh Carolina- He had been | there only a shop, tin when he committed some small crime, for which he was icdictfd. rJ'o escape arre*t he returrcd to his old home in North j Carolina. In due course of tim? the governor of South Carolina issued his [requisition on the governor of North Carolina for the fugitive criminal. The fugitive haa rich and iniluen- j tial friends in his native State, and they interceded with the governor uulii ire refused to grsnt the rcqus-ition. A Jong official correspondence followed. Prominent nceii in South Carlina told the governor that he had not beer, treated with proper official courtesy by the governor of North Caroli na. The result was that the South Carolina governor, sccomranied by a lar?') party cf friends and advisers, '/MiTOmod hxr s.tnc? to Ra]eif*h. for a conference with the governor of North ' Carolina with a large party of distin cruised friends met the governor of ! South Carolina and his party se\eral ! miles from town and escorted tbecu to the governor's mansion with all the ! ceremony due such distinguished visitors.

After many rounds of drinks tbe decanters and glasses were removed and ibe governor of South Carolina stated tbe object of bis visit. He demanded tbe surrender of the fugitive criminal. The governor of North Carolina refused. Then followed a long and heated discussion, in which the attorneys general of tbe two Slates took au active part. Finally the gov ernor of South Carolina grew angry, and rising to his feet said: "Sir you have refused my iust demand and offended the dignity of my office and my State. Unless you at once surrender the prisoner, I will return to my capital, call out the militia of the State, and returning with my army, I will take the fugitive by force of arms. Governor, what, do you say?"' All eyes were turned on lha gover nor of North Carolina, and his answer v?as awaited with breathless interest. The governor rose slowly to his feet and beckoned ^o a servant who stood some distance away. His beckoning was firm and dignified, as became his position. He was slow about answering. and again the governor of South Carolina demanded: "Wnat do you say?" 41 say, governor, that it's a long time between drinks.1' The reply restored good humor. Decanters and glasses were brought out again, and while the visitors remained if any one attempted to refer to the diplomatic object of the visit, he was cut short by the remark that it was a long time between drinks. When tbe visiting governor was ready to return home he was escorted to the State line bv the governor of North Carolina, and tney parted the best of friends.

His popularity, instead of waning, has increased and the affec ion of the people for him is something emarkable, the like of which has not >een witnessed siDce the days of Jeferson, Jackson and Henry Clay.

This s not local but the cry comes from :very State and Terrritory in the J Jnion. Not long since A. B. Will- < aios, late of the Greenville News and k bitter opponent of Brjan, bore tes- ' imony to the fact that if the election , ffere held to day Bryan would be i iverwhelmingly elected. All the evidence from the doubtful States, where 1 he tide of battle was turned against iim last year goes to show that the ( :ause he represented is stronger than ver. Hon. Champ Clark, who cam- 1 >aigned in the First Missouri district ately and afterwards delivered an ad- 1 iress at Roanoke College in Verginia, 1 ays be found it the same everywhere 1 bat tbe one thing most certain to ' iring down the house was the predicion that Brysn would foe inaugurated (resident in 1901.

One of the most prominent ditors of Indiana said that the men 7 ho worked for silver in 1896 rere just as devoted to it *s ever and lundredswho opposed it had come . ver and if the oattle were to ba ought over now Bryan would carry be State by a tremendous vote. A Ir. Wollt', who is the president of a big ron and s.hip-building plant at Port and, Oregon, and a Republican beides, says "if an election were held low for president the whole Pacific lope would vote to elect Bryan over! ny man the Republicans could | lame." There is no weakening of the i iaes hera ia this State, as we well f :now, and the testimony from all < ither quarters is the same. Even in < )hio the Republicans, are quaking in I heir boots for the promised prosperity ipon the election of McKinley which t ias not come, and in Kentucky the c iepublicans are making no pretence t o a ghost of a chance of carrying s he fall detections.

( ? l r? uham? nii nicr*f m Into Cumins: Ont P of the Pits-Most Orderly Gathering? 1 Debs Speaks?8nxne Success. Oak Hill in the vicinity of the Turtle Creek, Plum Creek and Sandy Creek of DpArmitt. was invaded after midnight Thursday by an army of t strikers, who came io attend the great < disss meeting to be held near the ? ndnes. It is estimated that by day break there were several thousand miners encamped upon the hills sur- * rounding the property of the New 1 Vork and Cleveland Gas Coal com- I pany's property. They came from < every direction, headed by brass ' bands. Large delegations arrived ] from Willocks, Gastonville, Finley- 1 grille and other points along the wheel- ( ing divisions. Nearly all of them car- 1 ry heavy walking sticks and some were armed. There were no threats of violence, however, and no indications of drinking. Many were supplied witn food enough to last two da} s. x Immediately upon reaching Oak Hill, the strikers prepared for _camp. la the vally leading up from Turtle Creek to one of the New York and Cleveland mines the company had a powerful search light It was kept shifting about in hopes of flanking J my movement of the strikers to creep ] within reach of the mine unknown to < Lhia deputies who guarded every ap < proach. ' Long before daylight the strikers i were up, and after eating their frugal < meal, prepared for the day's work. ! Che intention was to see as many of , DeArmitt's men before they eot into i the pits as possible. ] About 4 o'clock, 1,500 strikers as- 1 seaabled at Turtle Creek and headed j by three brass bands and with banners , [lying, marched past the houses oc- i cupied by DeArmitt's miners. The ' miners hooted and jelled and then ^ marched to the mines where they planted themselves before the pits, i thus compelling DeArmitt's men to s run the gauntlet to get to work. A j short time later, Sheriff Lowrey, who ] had been wired to for assistance, ar- ] rived from Pittsburg with 50 deputies, ' armed with Winchesters. The strik- 1 srs quietly withdrew and the new , deputies were placed on guard. ] When the meeting was called to ? order at 10 o'clock this morning there 1 were 3,000 striking miners in attend- ] since, and before it was well under way there were 5,000 people in the vicinily 1 [>f the school house. About9;30 o'clock j 250 miners from the Sandy Creek i mines marched to the meeting and j luite a large number came from Tur- < Lie Creek. The demonstration had j no effect uDon the men at Plum Creeu, < and all went to work. ? The strikers used all the powers of persuasion upon the diggers, but none were molested and no threats were made. Previous to the meeting Eugene V. Debs, District President Do; lan, Secretary Warner and M. P. Gai? rick went among the strikers and I counselled them to keep within the 1 bounds of the law and preserve good ] order throughout the day. Their ad- i vice was received with good grace by ( the men who cheered the officials enthusiastically. ( President Dolan was made chairman of the meeting and in a short speech he accused Mr. DeArmitt of incincerity. He said that if DeArmitt's men riid not pfttn# nut. t.hftPfl wnilld be a sympathy strike all over the United States. ] M. P. Garrick was next introduced and he said that workingmen all over ' the United States were interested in [his strike because it will have a tendency to raise wages everywhere. "If you men of the DeArmitt mines | will not come out now we will march 50,000 men here and compel you to ;ome out, not by force but by shame." When Eugene V. Debs was introJuced there was great enthusiasm. He said in part: 4,I am here not to encourage passion aut to appeal to reason. You are in ,he midst of the greatest contest the world has ever known. Whether you succeed or fail depends upon your- ( selves. In order to win you must renain absolutely sober until this conest is over. Whiskey clouds the brain, "obs you of your money aud makes trou brutal, and also makes you do lust what your enemies want you to io." After the meeting the Sandy Creek niners returned lo work and the strikers went into camp and had lunch. Mr. DaArmitt tonight made the folowing statement: "A few of our men from the Turtle >eok and Plum Creek mines attend:d the meeting. About 40 of the younger men in the Sandy Creek nines were present. As far as the efectof the meeting on our men is con:erned, it was a flat failure. All of >ur mines were in operation and will je tomorrow." A laree force of deputies are on du y and developments of a sensational ] iharacter are likely to occur at any I ,ime. The men in the camp will be supplied with food. Late at night William Warner, sectary of the miners' union, telephon:d that a break in DaArmitt's men has aken place. He says that after the lay meeting another meeting was arranged for Thursday night and was at,ended by many of the men who have seen at work. Several local speakers, " je said, placed the matt9r before them > n such a convincing way that the | nnr? Do A mi 11'? Tnrtlfi C!rftfik e nine resolved not to return to work | n the morning. Secretary Warner | >aj9 this is the ino3t important result 1 5f the big meeting, and it will be i ,aken advantage of at onca to influ | 3uce tlie men at the other two mines ? .0 come out. The miners1 otlisials are ^ jubilant over this victory. Debs left Thursday for Columbus on i ausiness which he declined to make 4 >ublic. Bafore leaving he expressed (; limself as greatly encouraged. He g ixpects great results from Thursday's I neeting.

It reduces a woman to a state of weakness, lervousness, irritability, dejection and mel incholy. Such a woman can't possibly be youthful, no matter what her age may be. _ 3he needs the youthfulness of highly vitalized blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will give it to her. It will help iny woman to get back her youth and freshness again. It gives the digestive and blood-making organs and the liver power to produce good, pure, healthy blood. It gives color to the :heeks, and sparkle to the eyes; drives away pimples and blotches; wipes away wrinkle#; rounds out emaciated forms, and creates firm, natural, healthy flesh. Mrs. Rebecca F. Gardner, of Grafton, York Co., 7a., writes: " When I was married I weighed 1*5 pounds. I was taken sick and reduced in health ind broke out with a disease which my doctor said 1 was eczema. He treated my disease but failed to J lo me any good, and I fell away to qo pounds. I Degan using Dr. Pierce's Golaen Medical Dis:overy, and thank God and you, I began to improve.
