In speaking of Count Okuma's doc menL Cooner said: K "Under date of Tokio, April 19. an aceivtd by me ai the hands of Mr himamura on May 11, was a lette rritten by Count Okuma, Japanes linister of foreign affairs, in wbicl e recited the fact of the nature of th< migrants by the Shinshim Mcru 01 |H&pril 9. In this communication Oka ma informs the government that h has given thoughtful and deliberate coneideration to all the questions in volved, and although influenced by s friendly desire to accord due weigh to every existing circumstance, th< government considers that theinhos pitable acts complained of were in de rogation of the conventional rights o Japanese subjects. gal "Directly under the treaty of 187: and indirectly by application of mos { favored nations principal to treatie now in force between Hawaii and oth ||er countries, Japanese citizens are a liberty freely and severally to ente; With their ships and cargoes all places ports and rivers in Hawaii which art open to foreign commerce "2. They have the right to travel trade, reside and exercise everv pro fession or industry in all parts of Ha waii. ''3. They are entitled to cDnstan and complete protection from the Ha waiian government for their person: and property as well as in regard t< the civil rights. "4. They are also entitled to fre< and easy access to the courts of justici of Hawaii in prosecution and aefensi of their rights in every instance ai:c I aegree 01 3urisaiction estaousneu the laws, 5. They are at liberty under any anc all circumstances to choose and em ploy lawyers and solicitors, advocate: or agents from any class who the] may see fit to authorize to act for then or in their name. In disregard o these rights wrote Count Okuma, 4t>( Japanese subjects, after being conlin edfor some considerable time act without any judicial determination without having acsess to the courts without having permission to consul with our representative, were igno miniously expelled from the country It is not suggested that siraila: fMofmanf nrmil/l imr'at* ortr n i ynn I stances be meted out to Hawaiian citi aens. In fact, the action was base; upon the fact that the persous cr.a cerned are all aliens who by statute rj action were deemed to bs without thi territorial limits of Hawaii. Count Okuma said also that hi; government was convinced that act 1' of 1895 and act 66 of the preceediaj year, if correctly interpreted by Haw aiian authorities, is in contra ventioi of the existing treaty bttween the twe governments. The proper regulator of migration, he admits, is the legiti mate exercise of the police power o the State, the reasonable Uwson tni subject reasonably administered b; Bawaiians will provoke no remon atrance from Japan. In the presen case ihe laws were a reversal of th; i existing precedence, arbitrarily anc capriciously enforced and that ex'n judicial proceedings of the Hawaiia: authorities were not conclusive am the refusal of the court appealed to. t< intervene was a denial, of justice The conclusion being that the Japan ese government entertained the es pectation that this government wil xwugui&u uie principle 01 inueraniii cation and, further they ask for th aditional assurance that these acts wiJ not be repeated. The particulrrs regarding th amount of the claim, Count Okum would be made the subject of a fui ther communication, but I may her hay, that the communication has no been received. Mr. Cooper said: "You will undei il.A4 ?1.? t- l.ii ' BHuiu luttt ui v iirsi ieuer wzs noi or. argument of "defense. It was a rrer statement of facts.

Everyman in Hip United Blates is supposed to know what thr ' Gover? nor of North Carolina saH to the Governor cf South Carolina," but perhaps some uo not know when and under what circumstances the famous rej mark w;-s made. t. Nearly a centurv nro ?. man promi^ nf-nt in political ati'airs in Nc:th Carolina moved across the border and set ! lied in South Carolina, Me had been f there only a short time when he committed sorr.e small crime, for which ^ be was indicted. To escape arrest he returred to Jiis old home in North Carolina. In dueooursa of tim? the . governor of South Carolina issued his requisition on toe governor of North ' Carolina for the fugitive criminal. J, The fugitive had rich and intluential frieuds in his naiive State, and , they interceded with tee governor un- j til i e refused to grsrt the requisition. e>A long cL'icial correspondence fol-j p i lewed.

He demanded the surrender of the fugitive criminal. 0 The governor cf North Carolina reQ fused. Then followed a long and heated discussion, in which the attorneys general of tbe two States took an active part. Finally the governor of South Caiolina grew angry, j and rising to his feet said: 4 'Sir you b a ve ref u sed my j ust demand *, and otl'ended the dignity of my office e and my State. Unless you at once , surrender the prisoner, I will return 3 to my capital, cail out the militia of j the State, and returning with my !army, 1 will take the fugitive by force of arms.

Th? governor rose slowly to his feet and beckoned to a servant who stood some distance away. His beckoning f was firm and dignified, as becamo his position.

Decanters and glasses were brought out ^ again, and while the visitors remained if any one attempted to refer to the diplomatic obj3ct of the visit, he was ' cut short by th3 remark that it was a long time between drinks. When the visiting governor was ready to re^ turn home he was esorted to the State lice Dv the governor of North Carolina, _ and they parted the best of friends. The fugitive was never surrendered. Murder at the Altar. 3 In the First Baptist church (colored) 3 at Montgomery Ala., Wednesday at j noon, while the state congress ot minisI ters was in session, Prof. P. H. Patr" terson, one of ihe leaders of his race in ihe south, a graduate of the Uni * versity of Michigan, a teacher in the " state normal college and a highly re3 specicd negro, ??as murdered at the 7 altar. The tragedy grew out of a bitII ter factional fight between the local f j negro Baptists over the expulsion of j Rev. J. T.

Wednesday morning when the stale congress convened an argument ber i ween Stokes and Patterson over the Brown case resulted in a fisiiculF, when some ne^ro from the crowd shot 1 and killed Prof. Patterson in front of " the pulpit. Ti:e entire colored pnoar lace is very much wrought up. Wed6 nesuay afternoon a posse, composed of negroes, captured George Pritchett, 5 who had gone into the woods. lie 7 confesses to having done the shooting. 7 Prcacher Stokes and other prominent negroes have been ar/ested, and a con1 spiracy is alleged to have existed.

' The People's Advocate utters an ac- | lowledd truth when it says "this , e has produced no more wonderful < an than W. J. Bryan. He stands < day before the American people eir most peerless citizen although , e shadow of defeat is resting upon j m. His popularity, instead of < ming, has increased and the affec J >n of the people for him is something J mtrkable, the like of which has not i en witnessed since the days of Jef- I rson, Jackson and Henry Clay. 1 rh(ireyer he gees the people turn out 1 crowds to hear and see him. And j is is not all due to the man himself, ' it 1.0 the cause he represents. This 1 not local but the cry comes from j ery State and Terrritory in the } aion. Not long since A. B. Willow, late of i;he Greenville News and ohter opponent of Bryan, bore tesnony to the fact that if the election ere held to day Bryan would be erwhelmingly electcd. All the evince from the doubtful States, where e tide of battle was turned against m last year goes to show that the use he represented is stronger than er. Hon. Champ Clark, who camigned in the First Missouri district ;ely and afterwards delivered an adess at Roanoke College in Verginia, ps he found it the same everywhere at the one thing most certain to ing down the house was the predic?n that Bryan would be inaugurated evident in 1901. There has recently e-i a conveniion of democratic edi ?; ol Missouri ana inaiana wnicn is. ia the nature of a conference, and ? 3 almost unanimous opinion of ? 3;e editors was that there should be backdown from the Chicago plat* ' m and that Bryan was the logical 1 ndidate in 1900. Tne sentiment * is almost unanimous and universal 9 favor of continuing the fight for s ver. One of the most prominent 1 itors of Indiana said that the men 1 io worked for silver in 1896 r ire just as devoted to it <*s ever and 3 ndreds who opposed it had come J er and if the oattle were to b3 d lght ovar now Bryan would carry i State by a tremendous vote. A t . WollF, who is the president of a big t iu and ship-building plant at Port :.d, Oregon, and a Republican be- 1 !es, says "if an election were held w for president the whole Pacific ( pe would vote to elect Bryan over e y man the Republicans could j me." There is no weakening of tbe r cs here iu this State, as we well f ow, and the testimony from all c mi- nnoi-toM io fVio camrt V-iron in n lio the Republicans are quaking in i iir boots for the promised prosperity ion the election of McKinley which t s not come, and in Kentucky the c :publicans are making no pretence t a ghost of a chance of carrying 3 a fall elelections. The gold men 3 fond of hugging the delusion to r eir bosoms that the silver cause is e ad and they talk and write glibly t out the "passing of Bryan." Tha t sh is father to the thought. Bryan r passing but not passing away. He t only passing on to a higher plane t popularity and to deeper depths in ? e hearts of the people.

To Shame His Diggers Into Coming Oat < of the Pita?Moat Orderly Gathering? Hob* Speaks?Some Succmti. Oak Hill in the ticinity of tbe Turtle Creek, Piutn Creek and Sandy Dreek of DeArmitt. was invaded after tuid flight Thursday by an arm 7 of strikers, who came to attend th9 great 1 mass meeting to bo held near the raincs. It is estimated that by day break there were several thousand cniner.3 encamped upon the bills surrounding. the property of the New 1 York and Cleveland Gas Coal com- i ^any's property. They came from ' 2very direction, headed by brass bands. Large delegations arrived from Willocks. Gastonville, Finley ville and other points aloni? the wheeling divisions. Nearly all of them carry heavy walking sticks and some were armed. Thfre were no threats :>f violence, however, and no indications of drinking. Many were supplied witn food enough to last two iajs. Immediately upon reselling Oak Bill, the strikers prepared for camp, [n the vally leading up from Turtle [>eek 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 vav movement of the strikers to creep w ithin reach of the mine unknown to the deputies who guarded every ap orosch. Long before daylight the strikers svere up., and after eating their frugal meal, prepared for the day's work. The intention was to see as many of DeArraitt's men before they got into the pits as possible. About 4 o'clock, 1,500 strikers assembled at Turtle Creek and headed by three brass bands and with banners lljing, marched pist the houses ocsufjitd by DeArmitt's miners. The miners hooted and jelled and then tDarched to the mines where they planted themselves before the pits, ihus compelling DeArmitt's men to run the gauntlet to get to work. A short time later, Sheriff Lowrey, who bad been wired to for assistance, arrived from Pittsburg with 50 deputies, irrned with Winchesters. The strikers quietly withdrew and the new Jeputies were placed on guard. When the meeting was cailed to Drder at 10 o'clock this morning there were 3,000 striking miners in attendin ce, and before it was well under way :heie were 5,000 people in the vicinity ){the school house. About9;30 o'clock 250 miners from the Sandy Creek xiines marched to the meeting and luite a large number came from Turile Creek. The demonstration had ao etfect upon the men at Plum Creek, md all went to work. i The strikers used all the powers of oersuasion upon the diggers, but none were molested and no threats were made. Previous to the meeting Eugene V. Debs. District President Do:aa, Secretary Warner and M. P. Gar; rick went among the strikers and I jounselled them to keep within the I sounds of the law and preserve good ; jrder throughout the day. Their ad- i rice was received with good grace by , the men who cheered tne officials enthusiastically. ( President Dolan was made chairman the meeting and in a short speech tii) accused Mr. DeArmitt of incinceriLy. He said that if DeArmitt's men i;.d not come out there would be a sympathy strike all over the United States. M. P. Garrick was next introduced md he said that workingmen all over 1 ,he United States were interested in his strike because it will have a ten lency to raise wages overywhere. 'If you men of the DeArmitt mines (rill not come out now we will march 50,000 men here and compel you to jome out, not by force but by shame." When Eugene V. Debs was introluced there was great enthusiasm. He laid in part: "I am here not to encourage passion )ut to appeal to reason. You are in he midst of the greatest content the ^oria nas ever Known. wneineryou mcceed or fail depends upon yourelves. 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 xu brutal, and also makes you do ust what your enemie3 want you to to." After the meeting the Sandy Creek oiners returned to work and the stri:ers went into camp and had lunch. Mr. DeArmitt tonight made the folowing statement: "A few of our men from the Turtle >eek and Plum Creek mines attendd the meetinp. About 40 of the rounger men in the Sandy Creek nines were present. As far as the efect of the meeting on our men is conerned, it was a flit failure. All of iur mines were in operation and will >e tomorrow." A large force of deputies are on duy and developments of a sensational baracter are likely to occur at any ime. The men in the camp will be upplied with food. Late at night William Warner, secetary of the miners' union, telephond that a break in DaArmitt's men has aken place. He says that after the lay meeting another meeting vras aranged for Thursday nightand was atended by many of the men who have >een at work. Several local speakers, ] le said, placed the matter before them ; n such a convincing way that the nen from DeArmitt's Turtle Creek I nine resolved not to return to work ; n the morning. Secretary Warner i ays this is the most important result ^ >f the big meeting, and it will be f aken advantage of at once to influ <j :nce the men at the other two mines | o come out.

"Simply soak a sponge in water as hot as it can he borne and apply it to the back of the teck. Repeat this many times, also applying the soonge behind the ears, ind soon the tightly drawn muscles .nd nerves which have caused so nuch misery vcill be felt to relax and the pain quickly disappear. It doesn't cost anything. Try it the next time you have headache." The high grade bicycles held on to that $100 gouge a long time, but it is a thing of the past now, says the Augusta Chron icle. 0 nee havin g started on the toboggan slide they will find it impossible to hold up to the $75 price. It is less of a gouge than the $100 but is still unmistakable extortion. Fifty dollars would furnish a handsome profit on any bicycle made. M Father Time has hSMT L \ to halt when he (Ry L' meets a woman who knows how to take care of her health. Time can't make her seem in? She may be the mother of a family; that makes no difference. She is bound to be young- because her heart Is young1 and there is rich, young blood circulating in her veins. She doesn't need cosmetics and facepowders and skin-preservers. Pure blood is the only true skin-preserver. But when a woman's blood is full of bilious impurities, she can neither look young nor feel young. Her whole constitution is poisoned with bad blood. It permeates every part It paralyzes the nerve-centres; weakens the stomach; irritates the heart, preys upon the lung3 and bronchial tubes. It reduces a woman to a state of weakness, nervousness, irritability, dejection and melancholy. Such a woman can't possibly be youthful, no matter what her age may be. She needs theyouthfulness of highly vitalized blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will give it to her. It will help any 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 cheeks, and sparkle to the eyes; drives away pimples and blotches; wipes away wrinkles; rounds out emaciated forms, and creates firm, natural, healthy flesh. Mrs. Rebecca F. Gardner, of Graflon, York Co., Va., writes: " When I was married I weighed 135 T moc totmn cirlr and r^rlufed in health pWUUUJ, A and broke out with a disease which my doctor said was eczema. He treated my disease but failed to do me any pood, and I fell awav to qo pounds. ! began using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and thank God and you, I began to improve. Now I weigh 140 pounds and ha^e only taken two bottles. I cannot say too much about the medicine. My husband says I look younger than I did the first time he saw mi 15 years ago."
