CHINESE SOLDIERS DROWNED
The Senate Sends the Tariff Bill Back
to Conference, but Refuses In-
. Junctions by a Tie Vote.
War lias Been Declared.
London, July 27. A dispatch received
at 11 :30 a. m. today from Lloyds Agent
at Shanghai, China, confirms the an
nouncement exclusively cabled to the
Associated Press last Saturday, that
war between China and Japan had been
declared. Both the Chinese and Japan
ese ministers say they have not been of
ficially informed that war has been de
clared. They also claim to be ignorant
of the fact that the Japanese have cap
tured the King of Corea. The imme
diate cause of the declaration of ,war is
said to be the fact that the Japanese at
tacked Chinese transports conveying
troops to Corea. It is reported that a
number of Chinese ships have been
sunk by the Japanese cruisers. Tele
graphic communication has twice been
completely interrupted beyond Nagasaki
Japan and all messages have been de
layed. If the treaty ports remain open
England expects to make a continuous
profit out of the war while the fact that
Russia directly or indirectly is giving as
sistance to Japan is likely to place a
perpetual stop upon Kusssian trade
progress with China.
A Thousand Soldiers Drowned.
Ties Tsis, China, July 27. While no
formal declaration of war has been
made, the governments of both China
and Japan recognize that an actual
state of war exists and more collisions
are expected hourly. The general opin
ion seems to be that while Japan may
be looked upon as likely to score the
first victoiies, the Chinese troops will
eventually drive the Japanese out of
Corea, even if millions of people have to
be sent to the front. The first overt act
of war occurred Tuesday, when the Jap
anese fired upon the junk steamship
Kowshung, belonging to Hugh Mathie
son of London, which had been char
tered by the Cninese government to con
vey troops to Corea. The Transport
was sunk with all hands. It is be
lieved a thousand Chinese sold iers per
ished. Japanese Capture the King: of Corea.

The Sugar Investigation.
Washington, July 25. Mr. Seymour,

tigation committee today. . Mr. Seymour
declined to answer questions put to him
as to the purchase of sugar stock by
members of the senate, or as to his
knowledge of the existence of an order
for Buch stock which former witnesses
testified had been made through his
firm in the name of Senator Camden,
pleading that the committee had no
power to compel him to reveal to them
his patrons. Mr. Allison's testimony
was important, as corroborative of the
statements of Mr. Guilliardeau and
other witnesses. While the details of
his testimony cannot be given, he stated
positively that he had seen 'the Camden
order. Amther witness of the day was
George Bruce, a New York broker. It
is understood that he testified to having
seen an alleged order for the purchase of
sugar stock, which purported to have
been given by Senator Camden, and to
have also seen a photograph and an
electrotype of it.
Said by House Members.
Washington, July 25. The action of
the senate caucus was received with
much satisfaction by members of the
house, and throughout the evening they
gathered at the public centers and dis
cussed the prospects of a speedy settle
ment. Although the general under
standing of the memhers was that the
senators had not yielded on iron ore,
and had only discussed a reciprocity
clause on coal, yet the tendency was so
strong for a termination of the struggle
that there was no criticism of what the
senators were expected to do. Springer
said that the caucus action would readily
be accepted by the house, as the point
had been reached where the house
wanted a bill - without any further
wrangle over details. This tendency in
the house to end the controversy was
very marked today and was participated
in by members who have heretofore
been unyielding.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
To assure both the above ends,
good, wholesome, palatable food is
demanded. It is next to impossible
to present a sufficient variety of appe
tizing bills of fare for our meals with
out a liberal allowance of pastry and
other food in which shortening is
required. How to make crisp,
healthful, digestible pastry has
puzzled the cooks. A difficulty in
all good cooking in the past has bee a
lard. Always fickle, never uniform,
most unwholesome lard has always
been the bane of the cook and the
obstacle to "good digestion."

The Secretary Had No Authority to
Make the Withdrawal.
Washington, July 25. The secretary
of the interior today rendered a decision
pn motion-for a review intbe-caseof the
Northern Pacific Railway Company vs.
Jennie L. Davis, involving the question
decided by Secretary Vilas in the case
of the said 'company vs Gulliford Miller.
In the case of Miller it was held by
Secretary Vilas that under the grant of
the Northern Pacific Railway Company
there was no authority vested in the
secretary of the interior to make a with
drawal of indemnity lands for the bene
fit of said company. The decision today
rendered by Secretary Smith sustains
the ruling laid down by Secretary Vilas.
This decision will affect titles to the
homes of many hundreds of settlers in
the Pacific states. ,
