against the interests of the Chinese in gen-
eral if after war they did not have en-
lightened Japanese nearby U instruct
them in the arts and sciences of civiliza-
tiuou. The effects on Japanese trade of the
signing of a treaty of jieace are already
being discussed. That pence would give
nn immense impetus it is asserted there
can be no question though it has been
found that the Japanese Irade lias not
only suffered the check that was pre-
dicted on account of the war but its total
volume of trade in money values in 1S!I-1
was nearly JMI per cent over that of the
preceding year. In the case of some arti-
cles the war bus done some inury to the
foreign trade but on the whole it has
exercised very little influence. The great-
est increase in the export trade of 1N'.)-1
was in the case of raw silk of which the
value of tin1 qiunintity sent abroad ex-
ceeded that of 1.S1KI by as much as 11(11 (.-
0(10 yen.
An' "excellent scheme for the annihila-
tion of the Japanese" submitted by a
sage of high repute is reproduced from
a Chinese newspaper. The scheme was
originated in answer to the proclamation
of the governor of Nanking who ordered
all those under his jurisdiction to devise
some scheme for the destruction of all
the Japanese. The scheme was this:
"Every soldier should be armed with
a sword a long bamboo pole and a bucket
of water. The pole nnd the buck-it should
be held with the left hand while the sword
is grasped by the right. On charging
down upon the foe the buckets should be
burled at the opposing ranks so us to
wet their powder and render their guns
useless. The bamboo poles should then
be thrust between tho legs of the enemy
and given a twist which would cause the
Japanese to topple over in confusion. Then
it would be an easy matter to finish off
'the dripping nnd prostrate foes with
swords."
! The governor it npepars. did not take
kindly to the suggestion made and as the
story goes drove the pseudo sage from his
in a tit ot rage.
WAIFS FROM WASHINGTON
STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN
FURTHER TEST THE IN-
COME TAX LAW.
TO
TIIE SEAL FISHERY QUESTION
TO THE FRONT.
Sir Edward Gray in the House of Com-
mons Says England Has Received
no Proposal for a Conference on
the Question.
Washington April 9. Since the deliv
ery of the income tax decision attorneys
and others interested in overthrowing the
tax have taken steps to test the various
parts of the law in further proceedings.
Attacks will be made both on those por-
tions that were sustained by a tie vote on
some fresh points not passed upon in the
particular cases decided yesterday.
Attorney J. M. Wilson of Shellabarger
& Wilson who represented John G. Moore
in the court of appeals in the recent cases
aid this morning that further proceed
ings would be taken immediately.
"Several parts of the law will be at
tacked" said he "the principal one being
the exemption from taxation of incomes
under $4000 annually. This will bo at
tacked as unjust discrimination. I cannot
say just who the complainants or what
the titles of the suits will be but they will
be instituted very soon probably within a
few days and lo pushed as rapidly as
possible."
tion Sir Edward Gray made no reply.
Answering a question of Sir George
Powell as to whether a petition had been
reaeived from Canada suggesting that
if the United States failed to appro-
priate the sum under the Paris award
to the senl fisheries which has arisen
in consequence Great Britain would ad-
vance of the award pending a final set-
tlement with the United States he said:
I am not in a position to answer that
Question.
OLNEY TALKS.
AVnshington April 9. So far as the
lower courts are concerned says Attor
ney General (Jlney today tue division
of the supreme court upon the income tax
law is the same as if the whole court
hud been unanimous in its favor. I
nnot believe any judge would grant
injunctions to prevent a collector from
collecting the tax on incomes derived from
ther sources than rents nnd State and
municipal bonds. The only way I can
see by which the person who objects to
RESEMBLES AN INVASION.
Washington April 9. It would ap-
pear that the answer made by Sir Ed-
ward Gray in the house of commons to the
question of Sir George Baden Powell
"that the government had not received
any proposal from the United States to
summon a conference of powers concerned
to deal with the senl fisheries of the
North racitic" strongly resembles a
technical evasion of the point. The cor
respondence with Great Britain relative to
Behring sea is just being published in
pamphlet form by the state department
and under date of Jan. 211 last appears a
note from Secretary Gresham to Sir Ju-
lian Pnuncefote the British embassador
in which Secretary Gresham speaks of the
deep solicitude on the part of tho presi-
dent with regard to the future of the
seal herd in view of the excessive num-
ber killed last season. The president had
been convinced taht the regulations in
force here not oiverated to prevent the
destruction of the herd mid unless n
speedy change was made extermination
must follow. Such a deplorable result
should is possible b0 averted. There-
fore the president urged that u commis-
sion be appointed on the part of Grout
Britain Russia and Japan to visit the
Northern Pacific mid report what meth-
ods might bo adopted to prevent the de-
struction of seals. Meanwhile Secretary
Gresham proposed for the consideration
of the three governments a modus Vivendi
extending the regulations so as to include
the entire North Pacific from the const
of the United States to Asia north of the
third degree during the coming season
and prohibiting all sealing in the Behring
sea pending the report of the commis-
sion suggested. In conclusion the secre-
tary of state suggested the necessity for
speedy action upon this proposition in
view of the approach of the sealing sea-
son and the departure of the sealing
vessels. As fur as can lie learned no
answer bus yet been received to this note
from Great Britain.

The British Government Attempting to
Evade the Puint.
London April 9. Replying to a ques-
tion in the house of commons today thie
parliamentary secretary of the foreign
office Sir. Edward Gray said that the
government was aware that the United
States hnd appointed a commission to in-
quire into the feasibility of tho plan for
building a canal across Nicaragua but
he added Great Britain could not ap-
point n commission to co-operate with
the United States commission unless
the government of the United States was
desirous that Great Britain should do
so. In answer to n question as to whether
the government would take steps in its
power to a safeguard the interest of
( treat Britain in connection with the
proposed canal Sir Edward Gray said
that in case the roust ruction of the ciuial
was proceeded with the government would
take steps to insure that their trade was
placed on the same footing as that with
other rations.
In answer Jo a question of Sir George
Powell. Sir Edward said the government
bud not received any proposal from the

a conference unless the conference is in-

FATAL BUILDING COLLAPSE.
FOfUlR-JSTOJtY BRICK BLOCK IN
WHEELING COMES DOWN
WITH A CRASH.
SIX LIVES LOST AND SEVERAL
INJURED.
Fire Broke Out Immediately After the
Collapse The Accident Was Cnused
by Adding a Story on Con-
demned Walls.
Wheeling W. Va. April 9.-At 8:20 this
momirg the nonh w dl of the foer-story
brick block of T. T. Hutchison & Co.
hardware dealers at Main and Twelfth
streets collapsed without warning. Next
north of it W. I. Chapman & Son were
just finishing a five-story brick block to
be used as a builders' supply store and
already having stored in it $1-1000 in
stock and were doing business there.
The crash of the fulling building was ter-
rific and soon drew thousands to the
scene. The horror of the accident was in
creased by a lire which broke out imme
diately after the collapse.
The following persons lost their lives
in the accident:
Father F. H. Parke aged 7'-; vicar
general of the Catholic diocese ot Wheel
ing. I
Bcnamin F. 1 ritchard. wagon manu-
facturer of Buchanan W. Va.
Harry Gowler Western Union mes
senger aged 14.
Robert Windier.
Eugene Birsch.
P. J. Horun.
The last three were employes of Hutch
inson & C and their bodies with that
of young Cowler s lire still in the ruins.
Charles Hnller the bookkeeper- and
Adam Blum junior partner were pinned
against tne rear wall but were released
unhurt by prying the iron burs off the
windows.
Mr. Hutchinson was in the second
story and was badly injured but was
rescued alive and hopes are entertained
that he may recover.
M. J. Ford an employe was reached
after hard work by a large force of men
and found alive and conscious. He may
get well.
The lulling brick and timbers knocked
a hole .() leet long in the three-story
brick building across the alley occupied
by S. M Rice & Co. wholesale milliners
and the smoke nnd water ruined that
linn's valuable stock.
Sneyer Bros. wholesale milliners and
Ott Bros. hardware will nlso lose heav
ily by smoke and water.
Cellers were Hooded for a block 10
st renins .playing all day and averaging
10000 gallons a minute and jet at 8

Great indignation is expressed because
at tho time the old Melodeon hall prop
erty was remodelled and n story added in
1801 by Mr. Hutchinson the walls were
condemned but he persisted in using
them nnd owing to the luck of laws could
not be prevented.
Tho loss will nrobnbly aggregate $1150-
000 but owing to the fact that the condi
tion of stock in adjoining stores cuinioi.
yet bo ascertained the losses can only bo
estimated. T. T. Hutchinson & Co's.
loss will reach $50000.

ENGLISH COMMENTS.
London April 9. The Globe this after-
noon referring to the decision of the su-
premo court of the United States as to
tho constitutionality of the income tax
says: Every man in this country will re-
gret that there is no supreme court of the
American variety here. Never in the long
history of tho English bench have they
soared to the heights of liberty reached by
the American judges yesterday. It is
ipiito impossible to establish such a tri-
bunal here.
The St. .i nines Gazette comments upon
the supremo court decision in a similar
strain and asks: No one has suggested
that this august tribunal can bo reached
in the manner familiar to the litigants in
some lower courts of the Union. Still it
is significant that the politics of the va-
rious judges are carefully mentioned in
the dispatch.

this enormous engine of industrial war
does not seem ready to operate for a good
while yet.
In looking over the last report of theState
victuallers board of California for th
years 1893-94 the conclusion is arrived
at that the wine growing industry of Cal-
ifornia has been for several years In a
state of stagnation; that there hag befn
an excess of production; that the price of
wine has never lieen lower although tho
improvement with a view to increasing
the consumption and opening new mar-
kets for It has been constant and real.
