A special to The Herald from Wash iagton says: Japan will insist that the Unted States assume a contingent responsibility in the matter of arbitra tic: of her did'erences with Hawaii on tne suij: of immigration and the tariff. It is :nderstocd that this is one of the sensalionul conditions upon which Japsn will consent to achitrate, and that if this responsibility is not as uined by 1he United States, Japan kill break c if negotiations looking to sr'itration and back up her demands by a naval demonstration in Hawaiian i. : rs. The state department has not : received any olicial commnica tic a rora the Japanese government on this matter and the administration not indicated whether or not it ill comply with the Japanese de nand when made. An official of the Japanese legation said in an inter view: "I am not cfli-ially informed con cerning the terms of arbitration, but that Japan should ask the United Stntes to take rt cognition of it and as. ~ure an ultimate responsibiLty fs r the decisious of the arbiter as regards Hawaii, being carried out seems to oce very natural. "If the United States refuse to give us a guarantee it is probable that the arbitration propo sition will fail. We prefer to enter tain a grievance and to indemnify our subjects ourselves than to arbitrate after the indignity of the refusal by the United States of so jasi a request. Neither the United States nor the Ha waiian government can justly plead disinterestedness. Frequently in the Hawaiian Japanese correspondence of late a pending annexation has figured as a factor in the situationl. This should operate in the ar bitration case as well." 8100,000 Fire.

SBesides these, dozens of firemen and passers-by were more or less cut and 'bruised by glass and flying- debris. The origin of the blaze is believed to have been in the vicinity of the boiler acuse. Accumulated dust, as dry and iniammable as gunpowder, that had been piling up for years, formed a ready means for the fire. It spread with great rapidity, and then came a terrible explosion, completing the work of scattering the fire throughout the entire structure. Just as the iiremen were' getting into position for advantageous work, and nearly all the members of engine company 3 were mounting ladders and bringing leads of hoes to play on the iuter-or from the tupper windows, Tere e-.me a roar that could be heard or half a mile. The roof was raised high into the air, and the walls came down with a crash. The force of the explosion was so great that the eastern wail was hurled into the river, the w"est wall was tumbled down upon the heads of the unfortunate men be low and the roof was torn into frag ments and distriouted for blocks around. Every window in the vicinity of the elevator was shattered by the concu; sion. Dozns of persons were struck by flying debris and several small fires started froma falling timbers that wvere still in flames. At Jefferson suecet and Carroll avenue, many blocks distant, great burning masses of wreckage fell upon four wagons loaded with hay and set them on fire. The elevator was of c-omposite con struction, the lower portion being of Ibrick and the upper part of frame cov ered with corrugated iron. The ex plosion caused a perfect bombardment of flying brick-s and sheets of iron at amost whitre heat, leaving little of the uldn save a frame wor-k of wood and iront surrounding a great pile of obzing wheat. The esplosion stunned, for a mo 'mee the police and the firemen, but they c'.uckly rallied to help tljose who ha'. ben Lurt. Dczens of men lay irjred in the withering heat, some na eriously harmed and others in the throees of death. It was dangerous so~ to get them out, but it was gal lautly and quickly done, and all of the slightly injured were removed. T'e dead were, for the time, left wh ere th~ey lay. No man could reach their bodies and live. Tae fire was most dimlcult to con trol, as tne elevator was surrounded by a namner of sma;ll buildings which mre contic ually catchiing lire.

JudgeSimontou coastruesan "orii nal package" to mean the package as it is handed to the common carrier and delivtred to the consignee. If the box or barrel is opened and bottles re moved such oox or barrel ceases to be an original package. By the terms of the decision as con strued hcre, liquor houses wi!l have to ship their goods into the State in a loose state. as was done by the Guck enheimer & Sons, that the bottles may be sold individually. The decision is considered a victory for Guckenh:im er & Sons, as their agents did not have an occasion to open berrels or boxes, the liq tors being received in a loose state. Judge Simonton, a'ter an elaborate review of various au-:horities on whit an original package i:. concludes his decision, defining an original package as follows: Cocsidering all these esses and the others quoted in argument. it appears that the original package is the pack age delivered by the importer to the carrier at the initial place of shipment in the exact condition in which it was shipped. If in single bottles shipped singly, cr if in packages of three or more securely fastened together and marked, or if in a box, barrel, crate or other receptacle, the single bottle in the one instance, the three or more bottles in another instance, the barrel, box, crate or other receptacle rspect ively constitute the original package. If said or delivered it must be sold or delivered as shipped and received. If the package be broken after such de livery it comes within the police reg ulations of the State, and any sale or delivery in such case is unlawful. Let an order be prepsued in each case in accrdarce with this opinion. Charles H. Simonton, Circuit Judge. Merchants' Excursion. As usual-Richmond-with one stride, has stepped to the front-and by great efforts-is in position to de better for merchants in the South than has been done for any other sece tion of the country. Always on the alert to do things advantageously for its patrons-the merchants of Rich mond, assisted by the Chamber of Commerce and its Traffic Bareau have been enabled to arrange for spa cial excursion tickets for merchants on August 12th, 13th and 14tn. Tick ets purchased on any of these dates are good to return fifteen days from date of sale, and entitle the holder to travel on any of the regular trains to and from Richmond. All tickets dar ing the three days will be sold for one fare for the round trip. Richmond is noted for its commercial resources, as well as for its historic achievements. A business of forty millions is done her e annually by the various Whole sale houses in addition to salt s by its Manufacturers. aggregating an eqaual amount-whica affords an idea ot the extent of their facilities and the size of stocks carried here. It is be lii.ved by the merchants generally, that this excursion will be of iccalcu lable benefit to those merchants along the line of the various railroads hand long Richmond business It not only gives them an opportunity to get ac quainted with the members of the firms with whom they do business, but puts them in a position to judge how great Richmond has become as a com "mercial center of the South. Don't forget the dates-August 12th, 1&:h and 14th. Tickets purchased on any of these dates will allow you to return any time within fifteen days from date of purchase. Hotel rates will be from 75 cents to $2 00 per day. Belongs to Great Britain. Incited by the newspaper publica tions rtcently, tending to thro w doubt upon the owvnership of the Klondike gold fields, some of the high govern ment officials would naturally be ex pected to deal with the question if it comes to a practical issue have been quietly looking into the matter with a vie w of preparing themselves for any controversy that may arise. Their views are, in substance, that there can be no valhd objiection advanced to the tatle of Great Britain to tis terri tory. A careful exainnation of all ofte eial charts and maps has coivncedi tne Ooscals that so far as the klondike fields, as denined by the latest reports are concerned, there, can be no question bat that the-/ lie east of the 1l t meridian, which defines the boundary lines and so are within British territory by about thirty five miles at least. As for the meridian itself, it is said that it has been so closely located by the surveys of the Canadians and our own coast survey that there is not at any point at a diference of more tnan 700 feet in the claimed boundary, which, of course, would not substantially affect any controversy that might grow out of the tiue.

NEW YoER . -YThe Pre'd-nt of oi moon. The board of trustees of Clemson College met on the night of Aug. 4, and, after holding two meetings, one thbat night and another next morning, adjourndt at midday Thursday in timte for Senator Tillman to th~e ibe afternoon train on the Southern. It was thought that the board would elect a success or to President Craig head at this meeting; for when it ad j iurne:i in July. without holdicg an election, to meet on August 4, it was understoo;d that the August meeting Iwould be for the especial purpose of electing a president as well as a pro essor and an instructor for the mechanical department. It seems, however, that the board could not agree on anybody and had no bal loting. The board recognizes the im portrce of selecting a suitabla man and ute dihiculty of securing one, and does not want to hurry matters. At, the meeting Thursday Dr. McBride, of Virginia, although not a candidate, -.,,as discussed, and proved to be a pop ular man with the board, and it is said that herciuld he heen elected had not Senator Tilhbar. opposed him. Tae committee appointed to select a man to present to the Septem ber meeting are said to be favorable to D.. McBryde, and will consider him as well as others. The report that ErSecretary of State Tindal is a can didate for the presidency is a mis take. Mr. Tindal sas that he never has been a cadidate, and, while he appreciates very highly the confidence manifested by his fellow members on the board, he dces ot think that a truster should be a carndidate. Wanted Free Silver. During the progress of the coint and weighing of the silver in the vaults of the treas.ry at Washington Thurs day incidet to the transfer of the government funds to the new United States tressurer, Thomas Martin of this city, a colored laborer engaged a tblang the bigs, was artested-upon a charge of abstracting silver from the vaults.
