the charges or to bring them to a point where their falsity can be established. The chain, however, will not be complete fy lor.ff as the committee fall3 to find one witness for whom search Is making. This witness I said to be Samuel G. Eattershall. who formerly represented the New York firm of Seymour. Young & Co., In this city. Witnesses who have to far been examined have named Battrshall as the man who at one time had In his possession orders from Senators for the purchase of Sugar stock. The committee regard the disappearance of the witness wanted at this time as significant. His absence is also delaying the final consummation of the committee's work. Senator Camden was to-day . asked if h? desired to mak any statement concerning the reports in the newspapers to the effect that the testimony had Involved his name in Uifar speculation. replied that he did not desire to say anything at the present time, hut would defer any statement that he might have to make until he could have an opportunity to se the testimony. Many rumor vrere reported from the committee during the afternoon to the effect that they were on the trail of Important d:.-o verier. Members of the committer, when toM of these rumors, would not dmy them, and some acknowledged that they considered the developments recently or importance, and said that 'the fan that the proceeding had not been made public gave thm clews that they might not have ren able to obtain. It is acknowledged that Bcuershall is the missing witness that is so much desire I. and lines of the new evidence will be determined more definitely when he is found. One of the persistent rumors that wvre 1n circulation vaa that the commftte had' obtained a copy of an alleged order for sugar stocks signed by a Senator, and that this order purported to have been given before the enH.tor testified before the committee that he had no dealings in sugar. This was repeated to a member of the committee, who jaid he bad no way of telling how Buch Information got out of the committee, and all he could say was that testimony had been discovered wfti-n will call for a great deal of explanation, and, further, it would be unfair to the accused to publish any testimony until he had had en opportunity of making a defense. The committeeman further asserted that it was a very unsavory affair all round. It is claimed by the Senator whose name Is understood to be on the copy of the alleged sugar order that it is a forgery and was gotten up for blackmailing purposes. HARD TO HACK "WATER.

The Cabinet Iontpone the Reorganization of Hawaiian Government. WASHINGTON, July 21-The Cabinet ?pent some time to-day In discussing the latest phase of the Hawaiian situation and the formal recognition of the new republic of Hawaii by United States Minister Willis. It wa3 felt that the Minister had been a little precipitate In so committing the government of the United States without first consulting the Department of State, as is said to be customary In such cases, and as was done by the British commissioner, Mr. Wodehouse. Still, the general opinion was that the Minister's action was only premature, as the United States would ultimately be obliged to accord recognition to the new government, which appears to have been organized in the usuaJ and regular course. It was reported to the Cabinet that there are now on the way from Minister Willis mall advices netting out in detail what he has done and his reasons, and therefore the decision was reached to take no action in the matter until this mutter comes to hand. Mall Clerk to lie Relnntated. WASHINGTON. July 24.

July 24- The American yacht Vigilant won to-day in her twelfth fifty-mile race with the Prince 6f Wales yacht Britannia. The advantage was with the winning boat from the start. The wind was fresher than has prevailed during any of the preceding eleven contests between these boats, and at the first mark boat, a distance of five and one-half miles, the Vigilant led by thirtyeight seconds, which had been Increased to two minutes and twenty-nine seconds when the first round was finished. In the first leg of the second round the Britannia trained twelve seconds, but completing the round the Vigilant was three minutes and nineteen seconds ahead. From this time on the American boat gained steadily. Beginning the harbor distance, from Roche's Point to the clubhouse, a short distance up the river, she was six minutes and forty-five seconds ahead. In the last part of the race the Britannia pushed hard for the lead and cut down the Vigilant's advantage nearly half. The latter boat won by four minutes and thirty-two seconds, without counting time allowance, and by three minutes and twenty-two secends If the estimated time allowance which she gives the Britannia is deducted. The score now stands nine to three In favor of the Britannia. It transpired after the race that the jaws of the Vigilant's gaff carried away when between Poorhead and Daunt's Rock, on the final round. The remainder of the race was Unlshed with the gaff lashed to the mast. Hi'Z starboard tacking was risky business from that time on. The members of the yacht club and the whole yachting world here were greatly concerned when It became known that the Vigilant would probably have to abandon to-morrow's race. A protracted conference between Mr. Gould and the regatta official was held, and It was decided to transfer the work of repairing the spar to the Passage Docks Company, the officials of which, in order not to spoil the sport, promised to keep its workmen and tires going all night long to iccomplHh the necessary repairs. II. -ward Gould said to-nisht: "We feel ?sicci:illy proud of winn.ng to-day. as we 3nly too well remember that when the Britain)!. i merely broke the pin of her throat lock at Rancor sh retired, while we went on, despite a more serious mishap, :nd won."

FIRST SIGN OF FIGHT

COHE.W TROOPS OPEN FIRM OX THE JAPANESE SOLDIERS AT SKOIL. Jnpnnmr Cruller Said to llnvr Sunk a Chlnrne Transport Official Aevrn at AYnnlilnKton. shanghai, July 21.-A dispatch receive! from Nagasaki, on the southwest side of the island of Kloo-Sioo, Japan, says that a detachment of Corcan troop.", at the instigation of the Chinese residents, attacked the Japanese garrison and were defeated. A later telegram says that a Japanese cruiser and a Chinese transport have been engaged, and that the schooner sunk the transport. Nothing Is known here of the alleged private dispatch stating that the Japanese have bombarded Corean ports. The British consul has received a telegram from the British charge d'affaires at Tokio, stating that tho Japanese have undertaken to regard Shanghai as outside of the sphere of operations. The price of coal has risen 4') per cent, on account of the large demand made upon these supplies for use upon 1 board war ships and transports. YOKOHAMA. Japan. July 21. Cores ns and Chinese engaged In a battle on the 12th inst. with Tungsis rebels, and a large number were killed. It Is reported that the Corean King has been kidnaped by the Japanese. The Chinese consul at Nagasaki has ordered all Chinese to leave their homes. Eight Japanese and thr e Chinese men-of-war and twenty thousand troops are at Jenzen. Trouble is Imminent at that place. Cholera Is Increasing at a fearful rate. LONDON, July 24.-A dispatch from Chemulpo, Corea, says that the Corean government, instigated by the Chineses residents, has withdrawn its promises of reform already made to Japan. The guards at the Imperial palace at Seoul are assuming the most hostile attitude toward the Japanese troops in the capital. A conflict is momentarily expected. The Japanese legation here has received no news of the rumored bombardment of Corean ports by their government, and give the report no credence whatever. The Firing Confirmed. WASHINGTON, July 21. Information received at the Japanese legation here today from Tokio is to the effect that the trouble referred to in the Shanghai dispatch to the Associated Press occurred at Seoul, the capital of Corea, and not at Nagasaka. as reported. The mistake in locating the scene of the difficulty is. due probably to the Interruption of overland communication letween Seoul and Shanghai, in which case all news reaching the latter place from Seoul would have to be sent via Nagasaka. The cablegram giving the minister the news of the difficulty which occurred yesterday came to hand today, and is as follows: "Corean troops made an uncalled-for attack on the Japanese troops stationed in Seoul, and the troops returned the volleys." The dispatch gave no particulars regarding the cause of the trouble and nothing as to the number of persons who may have been killed. The minister's opinion, however. Is that it is the result of some Indiscreet action on the part of the Corean soldiers, which are described at the legation as being undisciplined and hard to restrict In what they do. The minister feels 6ure the firing was unauthorized by the government of Corea, and he says it is very likely that It has made an apology expressing regret at the occurrence. There have been no dispatches received at the legation showing that the Japanese have taken action with reference to the bombardment of Corean ports. Japan, it is said, has too many interests at stake in Corea to attempt to destroy her coastwise cities, an 1, the minister says, certainly ha3 no intention of going to war with Corea. GreMliuiii Hun Not Apologized. WASHINGTON, July 21. It can be stated authoritatively that there is no foundation for the published report that Secretary Gresham had apologized to M. Tateno. the Japanese minister, for utterances contained in a telegram sent by the Secretary of State to the Japanese government through Minister Dunn, at Tokio. That dispatch, as has been stated heretofore, was sent after having been submitted to Minister Tateno. and contained nothing that was offensive to the Japanese minister or that would be considered as wounding to Japanese national sensibilities. There has been no occasion, therefore, for apologies, ind none has been tendered. The Japanese minister and Secretary Gresham had an interview yesterd ly at which Eastern affairs were freely discussed., but the message sent to Minister Dunn was not adverted to. and in the intervl?w, which was entirely frendly and amicable, was devoted to renewed expressions by Secretary Gresham of a hope that China. Japan and Corea would not be embroiled in a war. and to statements by M. Tateno in atlirmation of justice and leasonableness of Japan's cours3, and his hope that Corea would acknowledge this, and institute reforms necessary for Japan's large interest in Corea. When Secretary Gresham's attention was directed to the published report he at once entered most sweeping and vigorous denial of its accuracy, declaring that he bad made no apology, nor was any called for. Men-of-Wiir to Go to" Chluu. WASHINGTON. July 21. Hostilities between China and Japan will require an immediate reinforcement of the United States naval force on the China station. At present this consists of only two vessels, the cruiser Baltimore and the Monocacy. They are at Chemulpo, Corea, and it would be Impossible for them to properly cover the enormous extent of seacoast that must be watched. Owing to the demands of the seal patrol service there Is only one vessel at present available for the China station, in addition to the two vessels now there. This is the Charlestown, now at Mare Island, which it was expveted would be sent to Hawaii to take the place to be vacated by the Philadelphia, which must return to the United States for muchneeded docking. Ho.vever, on Aug. 1 the close season in the seal waters expires, and as It will be necessary after that date to protect only the small sixty-mile zone around the Pribyloff islands. It Is probable that some of the vessels of the patrol fleet; can be spared and ordered to proceed directly to China. In this case the choice probably would fall on the Vorktown, ie Concord and the Petrel, leaving the Mohican, the Adams, the Alert and the Ranger to guard the seal Islands. To Reinforce tho French Fleet. VICTORIA. B. C, July 24. The French war ship Duguat Truln. which left Victoria yesterday afternoon for Honolulu, returned to port early this morning nnd lies here awaiting orders from Paris. After her departure the French consul received order by cable to hold her. and last evening the cruiser was boarded off Cape Flattery by a telegraph operator In a small boat. It is believed here that the vessel will be ordered to Corea to reinforce the French lliet in those waters. HnvnKe of the Black Plague. WASHINGTON. July 24. Additional Information regarding the black plague in China has been received by the Marine Hospital Service through the Department of State. MlrJster Dunn, writing from Tokio. under date of June 16. reports the pest to be on the increase in Hong Kong. Iatest advices, he says, are that up to June 7 over 1.3TO deaths hav? occurred in Hong Kong, and several Europeans had died of the plague. A very small percentage only of those who are attacked recover. Under date of June 22 Minister Dunn rei-crts a slight abatement of the disease. He also incloses a notification by th Japanes? government which requires th citizens of the 1'nitcd States in Japan an 1 commanders of vessels arriving at Nagasaki. Kohe. Yokohama and Hakodate to conform to the imperial or linmce for the regulation of the Inspection of vessels arriving from chilera-infected ports. T i secretary of legation at IVking says the plague now prevailing has imM depression In busln-ss. Every precaution is taken to prevent tne Introduction of the disc is Into new districts. Great difficulty arises, however, from the utter inability of the Cnlnese to understand, and th:ir willingness to comjlv with, the most elementary rriruiphs of sanitation. In Hong Kong the new case have numbered between forty and fifty a day. with about TO per cent, of deaths. At Canton it was estimated that five thou

sand deaths had occurred up to the Sth of May. At that city a novel and thoroughly Chinese method of checking the disease was hit upon. A fortune teller having said that the disease would die away with the approach of the spring solstice, the people of Canton, In ord?r to deceive the gods of sickness, made the firgt day of the fourth moon. (May 5 their NewYear's day. Every ceremony by which the day Is celebrated was gone through with scrupulous exactitude. The local authorities assisted In this farcical performance. The New Year's festivities in the presenca of such -widespread death had a somewhat ghastly character. Under date of July 11 the United States consul at I-lege. Belgium, reports that thirteen tkaths from cholera had occurred In that city during- the week ending Juiy 7. Th last week, he says, the newspapers rejorted four or five new cases each day. So great is th; confidence of the people In th power of the authorities to suppress tne disease that Its presence occasions absolutely no excitement. Tne Explosion of a sdriRle dynamite bomb has frightened more people out of town than all the cholera they have had. An American RnhbPn MlIon. LONDON, July 24. A dispatch to the Chronicle from St. Petersburg, siys: RbM Joseph Krauskopf, a well-known Hebrew divine of the l'nited States, has jun started for the interior of Russia on a mission of inquiry Into the condition of the Russian and Polish Jews, with a view to promoting their migration instead of emigration. The Russfan government i adverse to the mission, but in view of the Rabbi's infiuential Tuition in the United States he wiU probably be allowed to proceed with his woj-k unmolested. The RaSbi hopes to prevail on the government to cons?nt to the Jews quitting their present places of residence to found agricultural colonies fii less populated parts of Russia. He siys that the Jews of America have promised financial support to the scheme. THK TL'HNKIIHUND.

Sixteenth Biennial Convention Opened in Denver Yesterday. DENVER, Col.. July 21.-The sixteenth biennial convention of the North American Turnerbund opened at East Turner Hall, to-day, with about four hundred delegates, representing nearly every State in the Union. The meeting was called to order by President Henry Braun, who delivered his address. He regretted he could not report progress in membership. He ascribed this to hard times. The strength of the bund was jeopardized by international dissensions. Differences of a personal character threatened the harmony which had existed for forty years, and more appeals were made to the national board than ever before. The convention organized by electing M. C. Vollmer, of Cleveland, president over Henry Vollmer, of Davenport, la., by a vote of 212 to 187; Carl Roder vice president and A. J. Hartwlg and Franz F. Metchner, secretaries. Aside from the appointment of committees, but little business was done. John Ullrich, of Milwaukee, who was a candidate for Mayor on the Populist ticket last year, offered a resolution censuring President Cleveland and Attorney-general Olney for their actions during the A. R. U. strike, but it was tabled without a vote. A communication from Mayor H. L. Tyler, of Louisville, was received asking the eoc.ety to meet in that city in 189t. The invitation will be considered later. Ex-National Treasurer F. B. Hueohting asked the convention to release him from the payment of $1,000 of the society's funds, which were on deposit in the South-side Bank, Milwaukee, when that institution foundered. The finance committee will consider the matter. EASY TO KOB A J SANK. William Melville Kept It Up for Thirteen Y'ears Wttln nt Detection. SAN FRANCISCO. July 21. William Melville, the correspondence clerk of the Dank of California, has made; a confession that has astonished the bank officials and startled the community. Melville says during the iat. thirteen years he has stolen $33,000 of the bank's funds. The bank people at llrst refused to believe this story, claiming their syster of doing. business vfa.ii so perfect that It would be Impossible for any shortage to remain long undiscovered. About a month ago Melville disappeared. His canoe was found floating bottom up near the Marlon county shore, and it was thought he had been drowned. Later, however, he was tracked to Stockton. His bank becoming suspicious, discovered a small shortage in his accounts. A detective was sent in pursuit of Melville, and followed him ovor the mountains by team into Nevada. The absconder btarled east from Nevada by train, but was Intercepted at Carlin and brought back -to San Francisco. He arrived here yesterday morning, and then made his confession. He had been in the bank for nineteen years, and was one of Its most trusted employes. He commenced stealing In a small way thirteen years ago. His knowledge of bank affairs was so thorough that he was able to shift the shortage from one account to another without detection. Finally the amount to be transferred In this way became so great that Melville knew the end was near, and he made one last clean-up of $2,700 and fled. Expensive clothes and living beyond his means cause! his downfall. He Is a brother of Emily Melville, well-known' comic opera singer, and was prominent here as a society and club man. SEND HACK THK ANAttCHIST. Mowbray the British Proselyte, in II i T -ing: to Avoid Arrest. NEW YORK, July-24. -As soon as the fact is established that Charles Wilfrel Mowbray, the English proselyting Anarchist who recently arrived here under an assumed name, gained an entrance to thl? country Illegally, he wdll be apprehended and sent back to Great Rrltaln. The fact that he has made a preliminary declaration of his Intent to become a citizen cf the l'nited States will be nothing to hiadvantage in such a case. The law under which the immigration authorities will act is very explicit, and a previous ccnvictl n of felony, or a conviction under a charge involving moral turpitude constitutes a legal bar to the admission of any Immigrant. Immigration Commissioner Senner sail to-day that he had an inspector at work Investigating the record of Mowbray and the circumstances of his fraudulent. y passing inspection authorities at Ellis island.

MEDILL FOR SENATOR

CHICAGO TRintWK EDITOR MAY HE DOMINATED AT SPRINGFIELD. Congreaamnn Conn's lltlmatnm Not Aeeeptnhle in the ThirteenthReed Renominated In Maine. SPRINGFIELD. 111.. July 24.-There is much uncertainty atout to-morrow's nominations by the Republican State convention. The majority of the Cook county delegates is firm in the belief that Henry Wulff will be nominated for State Treasurer on the first or second ballot, but there are some members of the same delegation who are opposed to him. His friends have, howeve., been working very hard among deleCatcs from the southern part of the State, and may have secured enough of them to make Wulff' s nomination sure. Mr. Tracy's boom was very pronounced during the early part of the day, but less was heard of It later. An attempt has been made to show that the American Protective Association is goIir' to be an important factor in the convention. Th? opinion is increasing that no nomination will be made for l'nited States Senator. Mr. Mason is now urging that it makes less difference to him who is nominated than if the convention declines to make a nomination and he declares that the labor people of the State have telegrams of ominous importance, indicating how they would regard a failure to nominate. A conference between a number of Republican leaders was held to-day with Hon. V. E. Mason, at which Mr. Mason agreed to withdraw from his candidacy for the L'nited States senatorship in favor of Hon. Joseph Medill, editor of the Chicago Tribune. Mr. Medill is thus assured of the nomination if he wants it and a telegram haa been sent him asking him if he will accept. Dr. T. N. Jamieson, who was one of the party of Cook county men to whom William E. Mason made the proposition to retire in favor of Mr. Medill. reported, this alternoon, that Mr. Medill had absolutely refused to allow his name to be used. PLKXTV OF CAX1HIJATES.

Governor McKinley, of Ohio, ex-Governor Merriam, of Minnesota, and Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, are guests of Mark A. Hanna, of this city. There is more or less gossip in circulation to the effect that the meeting has considerable political significance, or. In other words, that Governor McKinley's Presidential possibilities are under consideration. To a reporter who called at Mr. Hanna's residence, however, the latter declared that the presence of the three gentlemen named had no especial significance. "Then you have not lost faith In Governor McKinley's political future?" Mr.' Hanna was asked. "Not In the least. I have every cause to hope that a Republican President may succeed the present executive, and I believe the trend of political events point very strongly to Governor MeKinley being the man. The Democrats certainly seem to be domg all they can to help things along." "Whom do you think will be selected to fill out the ticket in the event of Governor McKinlev's nomination?" "Oh. that is too far off to talk about. If you have ever attended a national convention you know combinations are made on very short notice sometimes." Governor MeKinley. when asked If his visit had any polit'cal significance, said: "Oh, no. None whatever. I have just run away from my work for a while: that's all. It has been terribly hot in Columbus, recently, and I have been very busy." Governor MeKinley will deliver an address to the Tippecanoe Club of this city-to-morrow night.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSON VI LLE. Ind., July 24.

caucus, and Senator Vilas and the Louisiana Senator were on their feet several times. Senator Gorman was one of the few who did not speak. Senator Smith's speech caused something of a sensation. He said that he knew of four Democratic Senators who would vote agamst the bill if he proposition of Mr. Vilas should prevail. During the course of the debate Senator Jones, replying to an assertion that h: been made that the Senate was trying to cram its bill down the throats of the House, said that, without saying what had taken place in conference on the amendments agreed on, the Senate conferees had made more concessions than the House conferees. The House had agreed to soma amendments, but the Senate had agreed to recede from more than the House. Senator Jones also made a statement about the sugar schedule. The Louisiana Senators had said that the change in the date when the schedule would go Into effect from the original Jones amendment to the date when the bill would go Into effect was a great Injustice to them, while the refining interests were not injured. Senator Jones said he thought this was true. The refiners had already purchased a sufficient quantity of raw sugar to operate the refineries for a long time to come, and It would make no difference to them now whether the sugar schedule went into effect at once or on the 1st of January. Having purchased such quantities of raw sugar abroad, they would be Independent of the Louisiana planters, and could purchase from them their product of this year at any price the trust might name, and at the same time the planters would be denied the bounty on the crop of this year, and would practically have no benefit of the duty levied In the bill. THE PRESIDENTS SIDE. A Senil-Ofucial Response to 1he ChareeM Made hy Senator Gorman. BALTIMORE, July 24. Under the caption "How the Truth Is Perverted Sometimes," the Baltimore Sun to-morrow will say editorially: "Ths charges against the President and the hints and inuendo3 which have been made in "the Senate are all the more dastardly because bH position scarcely permits him to protect himself. It will not do for the President of the United States to be bandying words with, Senators. It Ms just as well to state a f.w facts as they are given by those who ai Intimate with the circumstances. One day last week a close personal frlenJ of Senator Gorman. asked the President to send for Mr. Gorman and talk with him about the tariff bill, assuring him that It wis hi conviction that such an interview would go far toward settling the tariff deadlock. The gentleman who made tni request of tne President was so close to Mr. Gorman that he had every right to believe that the request came from the Senator himself. After some hesitation. Mr. Cleveland wrote a note to Mr. Gorman, asking him to come to se? him. and M.. Gorman came. The interview Instead of being stormy, as has been asserted, was a.l calm and quiet as possible. Tne heroics of Mr. Gorman In declaring that nothing but sudden death could prevent his making hia speech against the President did not occur. The President did not request him not to make the speech, nor did the Senator give Mr. Cleveland any Idea of the character of the speech he was going to make, telling him only that he was going to make a brief statement of facts. No one was more surprised at the tenor of the speech than Mr. Cleveland. "But, more than anything else, the President was astonished at the conduct of th Senators upon whom Mr. Gorman called for corroboration. In their remarks in thr Senate they sought to make It appear that the President had abandoned hi advocacy of free iron and coal. Whatever was don by the President in this connection was done at the earnest solicitation of the Senators named. Mr. Cleveland did not lay ty much stress upon the form of the till ns It passed the Senate. He was assured, an t he believed, that the defects would be cure 1 in the conference committee. It was the President's earnest desire all along to get the bdl away from the Senate, where ther was danger that it would be throttled, and Into the conference committee, and to as-F-t r this he was urged bv the corroborating Senators. The astonishment of tne fitaiueui, tnerefore, can b- imagined when the Senators tried, upon the floor of the Senate, to have It anpear that he bad abandoned his principles." Riot Act for Gorman. BALTIMORE, Md., July 24. Queen Annes county, a stronghold of Maryland's Democracy, the native county of Senator Gibeon, and formerly a firm supporter of Senator Gorman, to-day, in convention, gave the Maryland Senators a hard slap. The convention held to elect delegates to the district congressional convention adopted resolutions demanding that the "nominee of the district shall accord President Cleveland his full support, and shall be sound on the tariff reform, as the people are not disposed to tolerate nominees who will not actively support true Democratic principles."
