Upon Him May 'Devolve the Delicate Tash of Bringing About -a_1’cace Between China. and Japan—Small Bits of the Latest \Vag. News. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 —The state de- partment has received a cable reply from Japan, through Minister Dun at Tokyo, to the United States’ suggestion of media- tion. The Japanese legation at Washing- ton has also received from the foreign oflice in Japan a cable stating that the reply had been made and giving its terms. Both cables were received here Sunday afternoon. The fact that they had been sent first became known through a dis- patch from Tokyo. This much having become known, the officials here make no further concealment of the details of the reply. The cable to Secretary Gresham is ac- companied by unusual dignity and for- mality in having the imperial sanction of his majesty the emperor of Japan. It is rarely that the emperor speaks in diplo- matic negotiations, so that his action in this case is evidence of Japan’s desire to express its appreciation of the course of the United States. The message is in two parts, the first giving imperial expression of good will and saying that the success of Japanese arms had been such that China should approach Japan directly. The second part is more directly from Minister Dun and expresses the view of the Japanese foreign office that, as China has no minister at Tokyo to submit-a di- rect proposition, it could be made by China through Minister Dun. _ The cable to Minister Kurino is sub. stantially the same as the foregoing. The fact that the replies were received Sunday and were not given publicity until now is in part explained by the fact that they were in cipher and were of such length and importance that a casual summary of them was not deemed advisable. The replies were decided on at a special meeting of the Japanese cabinet on Sat- urday and were sent from Tokyo Saturday night, but the transmission delayed them until Sunday. ' Our Officials Much Pleased. The'tone of the reply and the expres- sions of imperial good will give much sat~ isfaction to the officials here, and now that the facts are known no further re- serve is maintained as to the terms of the negotiations which have hitherto been withheld. -It appears that at the outset Secretary Gresham consulted Minister Kurino, as there was no desire to take action which would be otherwise than agreeable to Ja- pan. At a conference between the secre- tary and the minster, at which Secretary Carlisle was present, the entire purpose of this country was made clear. This was before Mr. Gresham had sent the message to Japan suggesting American mediation. It was made clear that President Cleve- land had no desire to mediate the trouble, but, on the contrary, felt that the exercise of good offices of the United States might entail a serious burden and responsibility and possibly excite ultimate feeling by one party or the other. Under these cir- cumstances no action would be taken if Japan felt it Would create an awkward situation. Particular stress was laid on the fact that Japan would be entirely free to act as she saw fit; that there was no pressure to have her accept American mediation, and that the entire proceeding was due to the belief that this country - was in a position to render a service to both belligerents. These sentiments were cordially reciprocated by Minister Kurina, so that Mr. Gresham had the co-operation of the Japanese minister before the mes- sage was transmitted to Japan through CAST 0073 the disorders. diseases, and weaknesses pe- culiar to we- men—by the prompt action . of Dr. Pierce’s " Favorite Pre- scription.

Since then the minister has further co-cporated with the secretary, and the kindly reply, with the imperial sanction, is the result. Minister Dun's Great Opportunity. A new and important situation is now presented by J cpan‘s proposition that China make a direct ofier through United States Minister Dun at Tokyo. This makes Mr. Dun the interesting center of negotiations from this time forward-un- less the United States should decline to allow him to act as the direct represents. tivc of China in submitting an offer. This is not anticipated. It is said that the usual course will be for the state (18. partment to notify Mr. Dun and also Minister Denby at Peking that they are at liberty to transmit from China to Ja- pan such direct peace overtures as the former desired to make. It would then be for China to formulate its offer to Min- ister Denby. He in turn would transmit it to Minister Dun as China’s direct offer and not as an intermediary offer through the United States. The state department undoubtedly would be apprised of the ac. tion of Messrs. Denby and Dun, but would not be the channel of their com- munication, as it is the basis of Japan’s new proposition that the offer come direct from China and not through the mediation of the United States; The reply of Japan is so conciliatory that it is pointed out that Minister Dun’s skill as a diplomat has scope for conspicuous service in ter- minating the war. How It Is Regarded In Europe. The action of European powers on the new phase of the question is now awaited with much interest. Japan’s suggestion that Minister Dun will be an acceptable medium of communication from China in effect eliminates Great Britain, France and the other powers from being factors in the negotiations. It is believed, however, from ofi‘icial informa- tion received here, that Russia, Italy and Germany will certainly look with favor on China’s‘dcaling through Minister Dun. The same sources indicate that Austria will probably give her adherence, as her membership in the triple alliance makes her foreign policy similar to that of Ger~ many and Italy. The position of Germany has been so closely analogous to that of the United States that it has been a ques- tion of doubt within the last few days whether Germany might not be substitut- ed for the United States in the offer of me- diation. As there is to be no mediation, Germany’s position still remains favor- able to an adjustment along the lines sug- gested by Japan. Italy has already noti- fied the allied powers that she cannot con- sent to forcible intervention, which is equivalent to a declaration in favor of a peaceable settlement, such as would come through China’s offer to Minister Dun. It can also be stated positively that Great Britain has favored the recent offer of mediation by the United States on the ground that it is presumed it would save China from utter destruction, and thus preserve the British trade with China. Chinese Persecuting Christians. LYONS, France, Nov. 22.—A dispatch from the bishop ’of Hupeh. at the north end of Lake Toung-Thing, Central China, has been received by the catholic mission here. It announces that violent persecu- tions of Christians have broken out in the province of Sezcchucn. Numbers of Chris. tians are reported to have been killed. - Chinese \‘i'ouldu’t Fight. LONDON. Nov. 22.-—A dispatch from Hiroshima says that Admiral Ito reports that he cruised off Wei-Hai-Wei for two days, daring the Chinese to come out.

Lafi’erty of this place lies a story. Miss Lizzie Trinc formerly re- sided here. Five years ago her father died, leaving her $15,000. Shortly after her parent’s death she went to Spring- field, Ills., where she met a wealthy mer- chant, which led to an engagement. This merchant died a month after the engage- ment and bequeathed his aifianced wife $10,000. A year afterward she was married to a Linesville (Pa) man. Their marriage was a failure, and she obtained a divorce on the ground that he had attempted to murder her for her money. She then re- turned to Springfield, and an attorney in that place sent word to her relatives here that Miss Trine had died. He went into details and described the funeral, sending in the letter a sample of the death shroud the girl were. This was 18 months ago. Now he has received a letter from Miss Trine herself. She wrote the letter in her ordinary way and made no allusions that would clear up the mystery. Her relatives believe that there is a conspiracy on foot to secure Miss Trine’s property. The Coit Court of Inquiry. I COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 21.—At the Colt- national guard court of: inquiry into the shooting at Washington Court House, today, to which place the court had gone to view the premises, a box of 40 sticks of dynamite were produced which were found in the weeds three days after the riot a half square northeast of the court- house. , THE Poul/1min. It Appears to Be Getting More Com- plicated Every Day. IS PITZEL REALLY ALIVE? Allegation That He Drank With a Friend Only a Short Time Ago—Something About the Wife of Holmes, Alias Howard, Alias Mudgett. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 22.—The Pitzsl mystery deepens as time wears on. Today many theories in regard to the mystery were knocked in the head by the announce- ' ment that E. F. Pitzel, the supposed murdered man, was seen in Chicago less. than two weeks ago. President Fouse oi the Fidelity Life Insurance association said today: _“This morning my Chicago representative telegraphed me that a Mr. - 'Wu—o-v‘- ‘2:- ..--- --..u HARRY HOWARD HOLMES. Ryan, who is a business man of Chicago, called on him and said that he saw B. F'. Pitzel in that city less than two weeks ago. Mr. Ryan said that he has known Pitzel for many years and has had fre- quent business transactions with him and that it is impossible for him to be mistaken. “When they met, Ryan did not know that Pitzel was supposed to be dead, and the two greeted each other cordially and repaired to a nearby saloon, where they had a drink together. “Then they separated, and Ryan says that he does not know whether Pitzel was to locate in that city or not. How- ever, our men there and the Pinkerton detectives here taken up the claw and it is my opinion that B. F. Pitzel will be prod- uced within a few days.” Who Holmes Really Is. TILTON, N. H., Nov. 22.—The identity of H. H. Howard. alias Holmes, has been clearly established here as a native of this state, Herman W. Mudgett. His‘wife, in an interview during which she was first made acquainted with the true character of her husband, gives much interesting information regarding his early life. She is living here quietly with her 15-year-old son and is supporting herself by dress- making. in London, this state, more than 16 years ago, and that for a time he taught school in Gilmanton and Alton. Afterward he studied medicine at Burlington, Vt, and later at the Michigan university, during which time she resided with her father at London. She finally joined him at Ann Arbor, but returned to Gilmanton. Then she lost all trace of the man after he visit- ed her in 1888 and told her he was going to Chicago on business until he came to her home about two weeks ago. He only remained a few hours, when he left for Boston, promising to come seen again. Electric and Cable Cars Collide.
