SOME INSIDE FAITS. Japan’s Coram Quarrel a Strategic Political Move, CONDUCT OF THE MIKADO. Internal DliMnalons and a Dispute With Parliament Determined the War Movement as a Popular Measure—Minister Denby's Instructions—Ket urn of Tatono to Japan With Ills Faintly. Washington, July 31.—An interesting explanation of the present attitude of Japan toward China was furnished by a diplomat of much experience in Asiatic affairs. Internal conditions in Japan are and have been for some time very much disturbed. There has been great friction | between the mikado and his cabinet on the one side and the parliament and the people on the other. This steadily in- j creased until the parliament actually i passed a resolution requesting the mika-| do to remove his cabinet and replace it by other men. The emperor’s answer ’ came quick and sharp in, a decree pro-i roguing parliament. This added to the popular feeling of dissatisfaction and the government became alarmed. The date of election of tiie new parlia- j ment began to draw near and some he- : roic measure was necessary to prevent an overwhelming oeffcat, the result of which might be to turn Japan backward in the march toward civilization and perhaps overthrow the emperor himself. The Japanese relations with Corea grow- j ing out of the obstacles to trade with that country were in a very unsatis-' factory state, and this, with the state of domestic affairs, led the Japanese government to adopt very vigorous foreign i policies in which it is quite sure of popular support. FAKEWELL TO TATENO. Japanese Minister ami Family Start Tonight For Their Home. Washington, July 31.—Minister Tateno yesterday applied for passports to Japan, whither he has been recalled. There was a cordial exchange of court esies at the white house, during which > i 1 W j it I felsite MME. TATENO. - ” President Cleveland asked that the heart- ' felt, wishes of the United States for the peace, prosperity and happiness of Japan be conveyed to the mikado. The retiring minister, with his charming wife and family, start tonight for San Francisco to sail by the Gaelic. Mr. Miyaoka, j the new minister, has not yet arrived. Denby Ordered to Pekin. Evansville, July 31.- Minister Charles Denby, who.is in this country on leave of absence, has been ordered back to his post at Pekin, China, on account of the warlike situation between China and Japan over Corea. Mr. Denby is in Detroit. Mich., where his wife, who is now here, will join him. They will go by the quickest route to Pekin. .A dispatch from Detroit says Minister Denby has not yet received orders to return to his post, but that he expects them. He declined to discuss the situation. Keeping Chinamen at Home. San Francisco, July 31.—The steamship Gaelic, from Hong Kong and Yokobrought only 27 cabin passengers and had but five whites, 14 Japs and one Chinese in the steerage.

Sicramento Japs are raising a big war fold to send home. / Japan’s Grave Error. / Washington, July 31.—Japan is susof making a grave error in siuk- ; ing the transport Kow Shing, which is paid to have been under the British Hag / and engaged in legitimate traffic in 1 transferring Chinese troops, there haying ! been no declaration of war prior to the bombardment.

W WILL WIN? ■ House Snifl Now to Have the Best of | the Tarj If Tangle. j SENATE SHOW OF WEAKNESS i | Public Approval of the President a Factor In the Fight. I POSSIBLE MEANS OF COMPROMISE. Analysis of Senate Speeches Gives Comfort to House Conferred, Who Find That Hill ami Caflery Are the Only Members Who Have Burned Bridges Behind Them — “SemWe Bill or No Bill” Not So Emphatically Talked About. Appeal to Senators From the People j I Sahl to lie Having ItM ElTect —Illness of • i Mr. Voorhees More ’Serious Thao Generally Capital News In i General. f } Washington, p 31.—For the first t time since the tairfff bill has been in con- I ■ ference there are >signs of wavering in 1 the strong line that behind the senate bill. “Senate bill or no bill" has ' been repeated a gqpd deal, but now less frequently and with less emphasis than | heretofore. The only exulanation for the brief conference yesterday is the fact that the house conferrees feel that the situation is changing in their favor. i There are many reasons advanced to ■ show that this statement has good founI dation. It is known that the mails and • telegraph are bringing to the Democratic senators urgent appeals to pass a bill j “which will not favor the trusts and i which will be in line with the demands of the party’ platform." In fact, these requests upon the senators are indorsements of the position of the president and the bouse in the main points of difference. That these telegrams are having effect cannot be denied, and have caused the senators who are most insistent upon the senate bill as regards coal, iron ore and sugar no little concern. The house members also find consider- j able comfort in their analysis of the speeches made by Democratic senators I when the conference disagreement was . before the senate, in which they find ) that but one Democrat besides Mr. Hill | made any pledge of his vote, and that i was Senator Callery, who declared that \ if the Louisiana sugar interests were not protected he would not vote for the bill. ■ None of the other‘senators, it is claimed, . i burned the brijiges behind them. On j the contrary many declared their desire ' I to bill which would secure 43 , Democratic votes. Basis of Possible Compromise. It is known that a great deal of pres- | ; sure is being brought to bear upon the \ ; Deiiocratic conferrees of the senate to i report an agreement with modifications I of the three principal items, a compro- i mise being suggested to the extent of a flat ad valorem rate on sugar of 45 per 1 cent, with an extention of the bounty ! to Jan. 1, 1835; coal 40 cents a ton, with | i a reciprocity provision that coal shall be I admitted free from such countries as j grant free admission to coal produced in ! the United'States, and free irpn ore. j While this proposition has not been ! submitted with any assertion it is an ultimatum of the house conferrees, there is a great deal of talk that such a proposition is likely to be presented. This, it is believed, will secure the votes of the Louisiana senators, Populists Allen and Kyle and Irby of South Caro-« lina. In that event it would take other j Democratic senators besides Hill to de- ! feat the bill and the house members de- ■ clare the number cannot be found. . It is a fact that the situation, turning as it does on these lines, has caused considerable uneasiness among the Democrats in the senate. The house is putting a good deal of reliance in the sentiment that seems to be rallying around the president. Keed’s Picture of the Situation. The Democratic members of the conference found themselves in a complete i deadlock when they met yesterday, and the full conference called for the afternoon found itself without business be- j fore it when it convened and soon adjourned. The impression which ex- i Speaker Reed obtained of the situation was embodied in a rough diagram which - he drew while the conference was in ' session. It represented the senate as a i locomotive rushing down a steep grade ' under full steam. Stretching across the ' track and directly in front of the engine ■ is an immense well supported bumper | which is labeled “House," the Repub- : lican house conferrees being represented ; as safely lodged in tall trees. “That is tlie situation," hesaid. “We i all know what must happen when an irresistible force strikes an immovable : object.” This is as much of a statement of the , situation as could be obtained from any source. Democratic members of both houses appreciate to the utmost the ex- . treme gravity of the situation. The Democratic senators who will say anything on the subject say that to all appearances the house conferrees are as unyielding as they have been at any time.' It is stated that at the Democratic conference the house members appeared even more determined than ever to maintain their position. OccaaiQnai Hopeful Senator. Occasionally a Democrat can be found on the senate side who expresses the hope that “the house conferrees will content themselves with this last demon- j stration of disapproval and subsequently i agree to come to the senate’s terms. Con- | ferences among Democratic leaders in the senate and between these senators and Democratic members of the house i have been frequent since yesterday’s cqfi- ; ference. and they have been held with the view of harmonizing the differences ■■ if possible. The Democrats will meet in informal conference again today. ; Vest Has Erysipelas. Washington. July 31.—Senator Vest has had a bad attack of erysipelas, and

his face for a day or two has been badly swoolen. He has been regularly at work, | however. ILLNESS OF VOORHEES. It In More Serious Than the Public Han Been Led to Believe. Washington, July ID.—The illness of | Senator Voorhees, chairman of the senI ate finance committee, is much more serious that the general public has been led to believe. His ailment is organic I and does not yield readily to treatment. | It is now feared that a delicate surgical operation may be necessary. The senator is afflicted with an affection of the bladder, known to medical surgery as tystitus. The case is somewhat similar to that of Elliott Shepard, who submitted himsi ls to an operation to get relief and died while under the influence of ether. Senator Voorhees still suffers consid- ' erable pain and last night he did not rest well. Alien’. Inh-rest In Worthy Poor. Washington. July 31.—Mr. Allen offered a bill in the senate yesterday to provide for an issue of $50,00 1,000 to tie ■ distributed pro rata among the states i “for the relief of the worthy poor.” The $1,000,000 appropriation for the extinci tion of the Russian thistle was insisted ; upon and the agricultural appropriation i bill sent back to conference. The house - passed a few unimportant bills. Nomination Rejected. } Washington, July 31. —The senate in executive session yesterday rejected the nomination of Edward J. Taylor of New York to be collector of customs for the district of Niagara, N. Y. | , Good Thing to Control.

July 31.—While Nicholas Eunis, a tinsmith, was repairing the , roof of the New York Ophthalmic institution he received terrible injuries from an electric light wire which he accidentally cut. The first intimation that ! something unusual had happened was , when Dr. Hugh Kidder of the institu . tion noticed the odor of burning flesh, and going to the roof saw a terrible sight. Helpless and with his clothing in a blase. Eunis was lying face downward on the roof. Big tongues of flames were thrown ; high into the air above his body, coming from the broken ends of the wire. Ennis, I evidently ovtqjo .ver.ed'by the shock, did nMutter a cry. In some remarkable : manner the wire; caught him so that he I could not move. Ofie end bad entered ■ his left arm just above the elbow and another had pierced his right side under the arm pit. Another crossed his breast. When Dr. Kidder and William Kelley , had after much difficulty rescued the i body, being themselves badly shocked, 5 it was found that deep holes had been . burned in his bodj’ where the wires had I held him, there was a broad burn across : his breast, his hair and all the skin from i his face, neck and shoulders had been i burned off. Hts ‘condition is critical. I A helpless crowd on the street looked in horror on the scene. a Hey'japs All of Them. Atlantic Citv, N". Y.. July 31.—Amos Rusie, George Davis, Eddie Burke and Charles Farrell of the New York Baseball club were instrumental in saving 1 John Conroy, a drunken bather, from I drowning. They were loudly cheered I by-the crowd which collected during the i excitement. Damage by llaiL St. Paul, July 31.—Yesterday afternoon a severe hailstorm did much damage in Stevens county. The townships of Frmnnas, Swan Lake and Daman and south toward Hancock suffered most. From five to ten thousand acres were completely stripped of al l growing crons. | Saloonist Leaves Large Creditors. Chicago, July 31.—Several Chicago ■ papers say today that Eugene Praiger, a ‘ saloonkeeper at Clark and Madison streets, has left the city leaving debts ; between $25,000.and $75,000. He kept a | place much frequented bj’ politicians ; and diil a large business.
