appearing.
Associated Press.
Philadelphia, July 18. Mr. Preston, di
rector of the mlnU today by direction of
the secretary of the treasury, issued or-
ders to the mint authorities of San
Francisco and New Orleans, to begin at
once coinage of sliver dollars, and dur-
ing the present month to coin up to the
.1 1 ui iua Mints rpViA'
silver to be first coined, will be blanks,
and ingots, of which there Is sufficient
to coin about 1,500,000 at these mints
and .at Philadelphia. As soon as this
supply Is exhausted, work will probably,
begln on silver bars, of which there Is
a scarce supply ui du.ii r ruuuim-u uuu
New Orleans, and probably five years'
supply at Philadelphia,

The A. R. U. Lays All the Blame on the
Managers.
Chicago, July 18. At the county Jail
Vice-President Howard, of the Ameri
can Railway Union made the following
statement: "This thing Is going to be a
test case. We don t consider ourselves
bigger than the law, and incidentally,
we think, the railroads are not. We are
getting some evidence for the coming
legal battle. Here Is a letter telling
of evidence that most of the freight car
burning In Chicago was done by two
men In the employ of the General Man-
agers Association. They were paid $200i yery f(JW trJlns wl ,eave here today
down, and were to receive 300 more! About one hundred and flfty men re
when the Job was done. This under- turnei to work , tne shops this morn

The Western Roads Will Unite In Up
holding Rates.
Chicago, July 18. The great strike Is
likely to have the effect of uniting the
' railways, particularly those of the west,
In closer union than they have ever
had up to the present. The General'
Managers Association handled the
strike in a manner so satisfactory, to all
the roads concerned, that they have be-,
gun to ask why the same spirit of har-1
mony which enabled them to make such
a fight in dealing with the strikers,!
could not be utilized to advantage 1
.rffln rm.,. Ther is the strongest
kind of feeling that all roads should b
concentrated in an effort to maintain
rates, and so far as possible diminish P0818
expenses. Several schemes have already!

which is that all roads west of the Mis-
sourl river shall be formed in an aeso.

BONDHOLDERS SHOULD UNITE.
New York, July 18. A circular was
Issued today by a committee of which
It. G. Martin Is chairman, to the holders
nf the first mortgage six per cent bonds
of the Oregon Short Line Railway Co.
The circular says:
After the mortgages to secure your
,1
bonds were executed, and before the
bonds were Issued, and in order to make
them more marketable, the Union Paci-
; flc Company, on the 12th of January,
1892, entered Into an agreement In writ
ing with the Oregon 8hort Line Railway
Company, whereby they were to pay the
Intercut on the Oregon Short Line t onds
as it became due. The receivers of the
Union Pacific have recently filed a pe
tition In the federal court asking that
they bo relieved from all obllgatIons(
of the contract of January 1, 1892, and a
guarantee made In pursuance thereof,
This action should be resisted by every
bondholder, we consider It Important
that you should mass your bonds and
stand united in resisting any and all
attempts to reduce their Interest."
A TEST CASE.
Olympia, July 18. The supreme court
has Issued a peremptory writ of man.
aamus compelling tne state auditor to
draw a warrant on the state capitol
building fund. The action was a test
case to determine, before letting the
lyintrart np roolnir hs hnllHInar thj
legality of warrants so Issued. The
court holds that a warrant must expressi
that It Is drawn solely on the capitol'
building fund and payable only as that'
fund may "be accumulated from the sale
of 132,000 Acres of land granted by con
gross for publlo buildings. Sixty-five
thousand acres are now being selected
at. an appraised value of Jl,300,000, The
building will cost $1,000,000.
NO ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.
Washington, July 18. A statement by
Baker, of New Hampshire was made
that he had been erroneously reported
by the tellers as present, and not voting,
the truth being that he was not present,
and moved Reed to say a word for a
system of quorum counting in the 61st
congress, wherein, he said, out of the
hundreds pf opportunities under the ex
lstlng system( not one error had oc
curred. Speaker Crisp admitted the pos
sibility of error in any system, but
pointed out that the superiority claimed
for the present rule, was that it re-
moved any suspicion of intention of
unfairness. Under a special order
adopted on Monday, the remainder of
the day was devoted to a report from

Late News. .
Associated Press. .
Washington, July 18. Much interest
was aroused in official circles here today
by the publication, of a long) statement
purporting to contain extracts from dis
patches sent out by Secretary Gresham
to the Japanese government, saying the
TTnitoil States views with icgret ' the
levying of an unjust war by Japan upon
a weak and defenseless nation like
Corea.'
The history of the Incident begins
with the Corean rebellion, when upon
the application of' the king, the United
States sent the worship Baltimore to
Chemulpo. Almost simultaneously the
Japanese and Chinese government sent
military forces to aid the king in hm
efforts to stamp out the rebellion. They
were successful, and when quiet was re
stored, the Coreans suggested a wlth
drawal of the foreign troops. This was
not bo easily accomplished. ' The Chin
ese and-Japanese have always been at
odds whenever Corea was concerned,
for each had long cherished designs up
on the autonomy of that country. How
ever, the Chinese were willing to with
draw, If the Japanese would do the
same, but the latter country discovered
that she had a number of grievances
against the Coreans on account of mal
administrations, and making a series of
demands,
some of which touched the
very existence of Corea as an Inde
pendent nation. Japan announced that
her troops would not be withdrawn un
til these conditions were met.
At this point the attention and inter-
est of other nations was strongly used,
and It. was seen that the peace of oil
Northern Asia was in Jeopardy, anil
powers that .had great Interests there
began to Consider what Should be done
to dissuade) Japan from pursuing a
course that promised to break down the
integrity of the little nation that had
served as a buffer between the two
Asiatio nations. Great Britain and Rus
sia and France Interposed with pacific
remonstrances, but these were unheeded
by Japan. Then the United States was
drawn. Into the matter. We have large
Interests In China and Japan, and pros
pects of greatly enlarging our trade re
lations, and when tho United StateB
minister, Bauin, at Toklo, represented
the conditions to the state department
It was felt to be not only to our own
Interest, but for the good of all con
cerned, to reinforce the efforts of the
treat European powera to prevent a
conflict that would be disastrous to
both sides.
