Message From the Mikado.
Washington, Nov. 21. The state de
partment has received a cable reply
from Japan through Minister Dun, at
Tokio, to the United States' suggestion
of mediation. The Japanese legation at
Washington has also received from the
foreign office in Japan a cable stating
that a reply had been made and giving
its terms. Both were received here
Sunday afternoon. The fact that they
had been sent first became known
through a dispatch to the Associated
Press from Tokio. This much having
become known, the officials here made
no further concealment of the details of
the reply. The cable to Secretary
Greshara is accompanied by unusual
dignity and formality in having the im
perial sanction of his majesty, the em
peror of Japan. It is rarely the em
peror speaks in diplomatic negotiations,
so his action in' the case is evidence of
Japan's desire to express its approba
tion of the course of the United States.
The message is in two parts, the first
giving the imperial expression of good
will and saying the success of the Japan
ese army has been such that China
should approach Japan ' directly ; the
second part is more directly from Min
ister Dun, and expresses the view of the
Japanese foreign office that China, hav
ing no minister at Tokio, should sub-
roit a direct proposition through Minis
ter Dun. The cable to Minister Kurino
-is substantially the same as the fore
going. Another Chapter off Crime.
Chicago, Nov. 21. Following close on
ae story of the mysterious disappear
ance of. the Williams sisters, at the
hands "bf Holmes, the life insurance
swindler, comes a third woman victim,
viz., Miss Kate Durkee. Mies Durkee
had property. Documents representing
the propertp came into the hands of H.
H. Holmes by theft. The woman mys
teriously disappeared, and Holmes
showed title to the property. Miss Dur
kee was not Miss Williams ; she had
dark eyes and hair, while Miss Williams
was a blonde. A year ago today twenty-
five creditors of Holmes met at the
office of George B. Chamberlin and
made a desperate effort to find out who
and where Miss Durkee was. It was
supposed that she was an accomplice of
HolmeB ; that the property illegally oh
tained was being transferred to ' her
name, and the creditors wished to reach
it. Suddenly Kate Durkee dropped en
tirely from sight, and like the Williams
sisters, has left no trace behind.
"I believe she is murdered," said
Chamberlain today. "I also believe
both the Williams girls were murdered."
Mr. Chamberlin is the proprietor of
the Lafayette Mercantile Agency. He
began the investigation of Holmes a
year ago.
Street Cars Collide.
Pittsburg, Nov. 21. In a collision be
tween an electric and a cable car here to
day one woman was probably fatally in
jured. The gripman and three passen
gers were badly hurt. The injured are:
Mrs. C. H. Jones, head cut and bruised
dangerously. Gripman Harvey Rea,
badly cut about the head and arms ;
Michael Kombault, Miss Brown and an
unknown woman. The electric car was
ascending a steep grade on Wyle avenue,
followed by the cable car on the same
track. On reaching Fulton street the
jjectric car-etopped, but the brakes re
fused to work, and it began sliding back
ward. Gripman Rea, on the cable car,
reversed bis brake, allowing the car to
slide back as fast as he dared, in order to
break the shock which was threatened
The passengers on both cars were panic
stricken, and several leaped from the
platform before the collision oocurred,
Women fainted and the excitement was
intense. At Logan street the cars came
together with great force, derailing and

wrecking both. Mrs. Jones was picked
up unconscious, and it is feared she will
not survive.
Ezeta Again in San Francisco.
San Fbancisco, Nov. 21. In an inter
view, General Antonio Ezeta, who ar
rived from Mexico last evening, said :
"There is no prospect of a war between
Mexico and Gautemala. When I left
President Diaz in the City of Mexico he
assured me that there was no ground for
apprehension, and that newspaper re
ports were without foundation. The
disagreement between Mexico and Gaute
mala will be settled by arbitration. The
tribunal which will legislate - on the
matter will meet in the City of Mexico
shortly. I am advised that representa
tives of the Gautemalan government
left Gantemala on the 15th instant by
steamer, and will arrive in this city en
route to Mexico in a few days."
An Insane Officer.
Denver, Nov. 21. An order was re
ceived today at headquarters of the de
partment of Colorado from Washington
directing Captain Theophilus W. Morri
son, of the 18th infantry, stationed at
Fort Douglas, to be tried by a dourt
n.artial for alleged insubordination dur
ing tbe railroad strike last summer.
Officers here refuse to give particulars
regarding the case, but say the court
martial was ordered by Assistant Secre
tary of War Doe, against the advice of
General Schofield, who favored tbe ap
pointment of a retiring board, as Cap
tain Morrison's sanity has been ques
tioned for several years.
A Missing; Ijlquor Dealer.
Eluira, N. Y., Nov. 21. Daniel Mur
phy, reporting missing from San Fran
cisco, was formerly a well-to-do liquor
merchant of this place. He sold out and
went West two years ago. Since his ar
rival in California he has been arrested
several times for financial irregularities.
This, he claimed, was brought out by
ignorance of the California law. He is
of nervous temperament, and his friends
here believe his mind has been more or
less affected. He has a' wife and two
daughters residing here, and a son who
went to California with him.
Smugglers Make a Confession.
San Fbancisco, Nov. 21. It is alleged
that Greenwald and Wichman, two of
the convicted members of the Emerald
gang of smugglers, have made confes
sions implicating a well-known lawyer
and several others in the smuggling op
erations. Voss, the fugitive smuggler,
who is now keeping store in Victoria, B.
C, has written to a friend in this city
that if the government will promise not
to prosecute him, he will produce im
pdrtant documentary and other evidence
against the ring.
Japanese Capture a fort.
Lonnon, Nov. 21. A Chee Foo dis
patch reports that the Japanese have
captured a fort two miles west of Port
Arthur. The Chinese have taken re
fuge upon the highest hill in the vicin
ity, and it is reported they are short of
provisions. The J apanese are advancing
down the peninsular safely. American
missionaries at Tung Chow are threat
ened, and the cruiser Baltimore has
gone to their assistance.
Chinese Killing Christians.
Lyons, Nov. 21. A dispatch from the
bishop of Hoo-Peh, at the north end of

here. It announces that violent perse'
cutions of Christians have broken out in
the province of Se-Chuf. A number of
Christians are reported killed.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the
only . positive cure now known tojjhe
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con
stitutional disease, requires a constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda
tion of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up tbe consti
tution and assisting nature to do its
work. Tbe proprietors have so much
faith in its cultivative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

awakened by the ringing of the fire bells
He dressed himself and went out into
the street. "Where is the fire?" he
asked of a fireman who was hurrying
past. "Down on Austin avenue, near
the corner of Twenty-fifth street,
"Let me think who lives there," mused
tbe old man. "Why, there is nobody in
that neighborhood whose .houje is in

to anything," so he went back into hie
