WASHisaTON, Nov. 16 The state de
partment has received in formation that a
special meeting of tbe Japanese ministry
has been called for tomorrow to consider
tbe fioal answer to tbe offer of tbe United
States to mediate between Japan and
Cbina. Tbe delay thus far is explained
by the fact that the cabinet meets at To-
kio, wbile tbe emperor baa to be con
suited at Hiroscbima. Wnat tbe nature
of the reply will . be is not deGuitely
Known jet. Strong intimations bave
reached officials here that tbec&hioet will
ask Cbina either to make ber offer direct
to Japan or else free it trom all donbt.
specifying the exact amount of iudem-
oitv she will pay.
The fact was developed today that
Tsang Li Yainen, of China's council ol
tbe cabioet of the empire, made a direct
request to tbe United Stales that tb s
government offer its services as mediator.
Heretofore it has been understood tbe re
quest from China was that this govern.
meut join the powers in intervening, to
which ibis eoverament responded in the
negative, and fanered to act alone. Ii
was also developed today that the sub
stantial feature of tbe proposition made
by toe United states to Japan is as fol
lows: "If tbe United States were in i
position to exercise its good offices in
briDgiog about an understanding between
China and Japan, would Japan feel it
would be prejudicial to ber interests to
have such lLfluences exeiUd?
Funeral reparations.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 1G The
weather is cold, damp and foggy. Tbe
king and the crown prince of Denmark
arrived this morning and were received
by Emperor Nicholas, tbe Prince of
Wales and tbe Duke of York. Their ar
rival was witnessed by a large crowd.
Fully 20,000 troops aie in the city, and
others are arriving hourly. Tbe emperor
constantly wears tbe uniform of the
Preobracenski regiment, in which corps
bis late tatber dressed. Thousands of
persons continue to file by the casket of
tbe dead rzar. Italy w.ili be represented
at tbe czir's funera 1 by the Prince of
Naples, and Germany by Prince Henry
oi Prnssia. Tbe city is crowded with
visitors. Prices of accommodation bave
been qnadrupled. Tbe frince of Wales
has attended every religions ceremony in
the cathedral since the body of tbe czar
was brought here Emperor Nicholas is
very popular. He drove through tbe
streets unattended yesterday evening, and
was cheered on all sides. A majority ot
tbe imperial family and immediate rela
tives favor haviog tbe marriage of tbe
czar solemnized with all possible display.
It is understoad tbat the czar himself is
opposed to tbis. Tbe coronation of tbe
emperor will take place in Moscow next
summer.
The Oregon Short Line.
St. Paul, Nov. 16 Tbe matter of the
Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern rail
way came on to be beard this afternoon
before Judge Sanborn, of tbe United
States circuit court. Between October 3.
1893, and July 1, 1894, the Oregon Short
Line earned $3,882 580, and its operating
expenses, interest and taxes amounted to
$5,243,303, making a debcit ot f 1,358,-
721. Tbe question raued is wbetber the
receivers ot tbe Union Pacific may be
permitted Jo renounce and cease to com
ply with the terms of tbe contract be
tween the Uuioo Pacific and tbe Oregon
Short Line & Utah Northern, by which
the Union Pacific undertook to pay tbe
deficiency of tbe Oregon Short Line.
Judge Cornish.-master in chancery, rec
ommends tbe contract be annulled and
an appeal was taken from tbe rcom
medation. Judge Kelly, of Omaha,
appeared for the receivers of tbe Union
Pacific, and Winslow Fierce, of New
York, for tbe appellants.

nable stock. The loss will exceed
$200,000. Tbis fire is supposed to Cave

Mexico special says Congressman Matze

The Italian Earthquakes.
Home, Nov. 17 The earthquake yes
terday extended over . a large area of
southern Italy and Sicily. Tbe damage
was done in the towns of Messina and a
number of people were lpjued. Tbe in
mates of the prisons were panic-stricken,
mutinied, and tried to escape. Especial
ly severe shocks were felt at Pulse Seen'
inary, San Brocolio and other towns in
tbe province of Reggio. Great damage
was done property, and a number of
people were killed and injured in addi
tion to those known to bave been buried
beneath fallen bouses. A landslide
caused by tne earthquake on the railroad
near Bagnario, in Reggio, stopped rail'
road traffic in tbat district. Eirtbquake
shocks were felt here and on the island
of Ischia. The first shock in Messina
was the most violent. It lasted 12
seconds, and was accompanied witb loud
rumblings. Tbe inhabitants fled shriek
ing with fright from their bomes, and
filled tbe streets with their clamor. Tbe
hospital, aitbongb but slightly damaged,
was shaken so violently tbat man; pa
tients became hysterical and bad to ba
removed. Tbe panic abated somewhat
about midnight, and a few persons ret
urned t J their bomes. Most of tbe in
habitants, however, decided to pass tbe
night In tbe streets and open squares.
A'ter two hours, tbe rumbling began
again, and the former scenes of pauic
were re-enacted. Men and women ran
aimlessly in all directions. Hundreds
dropped to their knees and prayed aloud
lor deliverance. Early this mornieg an
other shock came. Today tbe streets are
entirely deserted. Dozens of persons
bave taken refuge on ships in the harbor.
There bave been six shocks in all. In
Reggio many houses are cracked and
threaten to fall at any moment. Tbe
panic-stricken inhabitants are camping
in shelters erected by soldiers. Patrols
distribute food and other oecessaiies. It
is known tbat six persons were killed and
several' injured in Bidnario, but details
are wanting owing to tbe demoralize
tioo of the railway and telegraph services.
Sigoor Taocbniau, chief of the Rome
observatory, believes tbat the shocks
were confined to tbe liipari islands and
the provinces of Messina and Reggio,
and were connected witb volcanic activ
lty in Mount Etna. Doctor Picco, of tbe
observatory of Catania, states that the
disturbances bave ceased for tbe present.
Premier Crispi has sent out funds to tbe
prefects of tbe provinces to supply
the
most Urgent needs of tbe
distressed
inhabitants.
Floods Worse.
London, Nov. 17-The floods become
more serious every day. me l names
rose four inches at Windsor during tbe
igbt. Eton college is closed, and all
tbe boys bave been sent borne. .Not
since 1881 bas the river been so bigb.
Ai Oxford Christcbnrch medowa are un
der four feet of water. Toe Magdalene
gardens are in a like condition. In every
direction tbe water is rising rapidly.
Manv of tbe undergraduates today bave
been boating over private gardens and
hedges. St Ann's cbnrch, below Folley
bridge, has two feet of water over its
Moor, and there are tnree leet oi water in
the railroad station. On ail sides tbe
floods are undermining and weakening
bridges snd culverts. Tbe embankment
at Maiden bead is in an equally bad state,
the waves beating against tbe drawing
room windows, and many beautiful
bouses bave suffered severely. Tbe dam
age, though not apparent, will reach into
tbe hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Bridges, etc,, have been washed away,
and crops and hay stacks bave been de
st roved in all tbe flooded districts.
s-At 7 o'clock tbis evening tna l names
was reported 6 feet 2 inches above tbe
summer level At Cbertz it is still rising,
and tbe only communication with tbe
town is by boat. Tbe London & South
western railway baa been swept away at
Egbam. -Tne damage was caused by tbe
bursting of an embankment. At St
Neots tbey are node' three feet ol water.
At Bedford and Cambridge the branches
ot tbe Northwestern railway are impas
sable. The trouble grows worse every
where. Tbe storm is the worst tbat has
occurred since 1832. A relief fund bas
been started. Tbe subscription list is
beaded by the queen, who gives 50.
Ia Armenia.
London, Not. 17 In view of tbe fact
tbat it was Mr. McGban, an American,
who first lorced tbe attention of the civ
ilized world to tbe Bulgarian atrocities,
t is interesting to note tbat the letter
relative to the" massacre of thousands ot
Christian men and women, made public
by Mr. Hagopian, chairman of the Ar
menln Patriotic Association, was written
by an American citizen. His name
wonld be divulged were it not that the
publication of it would place his lite in
jeopardy.
Tbe Westminister OazetU this after
noon, commenting upon tbe story of tbe
Armenian massacre, says: Nothing but
an Arab raid can compare witb tbe
brutality in Armenia, and in Africa tbe
victims are at least given the chance of
slavery, Tbe porte bas carried out none
of its promises, and it is time it was
brought 'sternly to book. If it persists
in giving a free band to its governors in
Asia Minor and confines itself to sending
out transparently false official contra
dictions, it mast take the consequences,
and the sooner it is told this, tne better.
' Ciolnc t Japan.
San Fbahcisco, Nov. 17 M B King,
chief engineer of 'the Pacific coast di
vision of tbe United States geological
and topographical surveying department,
baa tendered bis resignation, it is said, to
enter the services of tbe Japanese govern
ment, and will leave on tbe next steamer
for Japan. It is possible the representa
tives of tbe Chinese, government in tbis
city will prevent Sing from filling bis
contract. :
TELEGRAPHIC.
Tbe Oonsal'a Report.
London, Nov. 18 Tbe Daily New
correspondent in Constantinople says, in
a dispatch concerning the massacre of
Armenians in the Sassoun district:
'Sir Philip Currie sent Consul Hall
ward's report of tbe iocident at Sassoun
to tbe porte, in order to indicate tbe
serious nature of tbe evils. The porte,
instead of accepting tbis in a friendly
manner, burlesquely denied tbe facts, as
serting that Mr. Hillward's report wss
untrue. It was insinuated, or stated out
light, that he bad encouraged tbe Ar
menians to revolt. Tbis was, of course,
ludicrous and absurd. Sir Philip Currie
at once informed the foreign minister
that be sbou'd take steps to verify hi
issertioos. His energy paralyzed the
porte, who on Stturday withdrew his al

New York. Nov. 17 A special cable
gram from Shanghai says: A Spanish
cruiser bas brought tbe details ol heavy
fighting a few miles norlb of Port Arthur.
The Chinese, under Generals Sung Cliing
and Nieb Liu, numbered 23,000 troops.
and, as usual, claim a victory. The
garrison of Port Arthnr is dwindling,
hrougb desertions, and the place is al
most deserted . The Japanese squadron
outside of Wel-Hai-Wei can scarcely
miss Admiral Ting's six vessels, which
left Taku Tuesday.
Demands of Japan.
Shanghai, Nov. 17 In diplomatic
circles here tbe success of mediation be
tween China and Japan is regarded as
hopeless. It is rumored tbat Japan's
minimum demands are tbe surrender of
tbe Chinese fleet and the payment of an
ndemDlty ot If IV 5,000. 000, Japan to oc
cupy Port Arthur, Wei-Hal-Wei and
tbe foremost ports until tne indemnity
as been paid. There is no prospect of
China assenting to such terms.
Great Fig-liters.
Pbovincetown, Nov. 19 An officer
of the United States ship Concord, writ
ing from Chemulpo, Corea, October 7, to
a friend here, says: "The Japanese are
aplendid soldiers, well drilled, and fight
ike tigers, showing no quarter to tbe
Chinamen. In the battle of September
17, 15,000 Chinese were killed and only
300 men were lost by tbe Japanese. For
quick work and skill in engineering, tbe
Jspsnese exceed anv men I ever saw.
Everything with them goes like clock
work. Tbey laid pontoons across the
river and marched ovar a body of troops,
consisting of 20,000 men, with heavy
guns and artillery, and bad everything
completed in a little over two hours.
Tbey are landing troops here every day

such terms as tbe Japanese see fit to
make, tbey will wipe tbe Chinese off tbe

have got millions and millons of men in
China, tbey are no fighters, and tbe Japs
are. Tbe Japanese are also a progressive
nation. Tbey baye all 'the latest im

Text Books-
Dcfdb, O.-., Nov. 17, 1894.
Editor Tmss-MorSTAMiaa:
Quite a tempest has been stirred in Ore
gon the past few months over the adoption
of the text books for the state for the next
legal term. Parties interested, do doubt,
in the settlement of this important matter
are acousiog and excusing each other, in
some instances complimentary, but in the
main of an opposite character. As a teacher,
(one of the old ones,) we bave always
avoided these wrangles: and in this have
little to say. Our present lot of books
with the exoeption of Sill's grammar are
tolerable. This grammar I attempted to
nse as early as 1867; studied and used it
a whole year without results in any way
satisfactory to me. On the noun and pro
noun, the nse of capital letters and a few
points of punotuation, the treatment is fair;
bat as a presentation of the subject of Kn
glish grammar it is by far the worst effort
tbat I have ever met. Ia his prefaoe he
declares that the English is almost a gram
marless tongue. Grammar is the scienee of
language; scienoe is knowledge set in order.
Then mast ws conclude there is no order,
no system in the Eaglish. We have sub
stantial words in the English, attributive
words, relative aod connective words, tbe
same as ia every full and complete language.
Io fact we can give meaning aod shades of
meaning that reach the understanding of
oar rsoe in a way that no language excella.
Shakespeare hss written the tallest horos
cope of human aotion and feeling that tbe
world knows in any tongue. Milton, blind
to earth, tells ot heaven and hell in strains
that only revelation excelis. Here there is
usage, and all language from creation nntii
now has depended upin is. No, Sill is
wrong; we need an Eaglish grammar, one
that can treat of tbe laws of relations aod
not of inflection. But rather tbau bave
none let us bave the laws of inflections and
faots. I do not know whether the publish
ers of Sill's grammar belong to tbe Ameri
can Book Company or not. If it is one of
their books, and tbey have no better to offer,
in tbis they should be beaten, for it ia the
worst grammatical trash the Eaglish lan
guage baa yet projaoed in the name ot
grammar. We bave no fight against the
Amerioan Book Ox. la all oar deal
ings with this company they have treated
us fairly and with gentlemany considera
tion. With us, the correspondent of . the
company, Mr. K. 1. I!, awards, bas main
tained a straight-forward business relation
and nothing more. We desire good books
for our schools and expect to hear a good
report from those io authority when the
time comes for them to report.
