The amount of war talk ono hears on every sldo in London is perfectly amazing. The topic practically monopolizes conversa tion in political and social circles, and it seems to be generally admitted, with a kind of fatalistic complacency, that sooner or later? probably sooner the British and German nations aro going to fight it out People at large are taking note of tho growing seriousness of tho situa tion, and many display acute nervous ness. Ono hears members of the American colony talk, half humorously, perhaps, nnd yot with a certain serious ness, of getting back homo before the Germans come, Harry G. Solfridgo said that personally he did not like the outlook. "I tried to Insure my shop,Msaid tho former Chicagoan, "against bombard ment from tho Thames, but tho insur ance companies would not accept the risk."

JJAPS MAKE PROTEST Appeal to Mikado in Trouble Willi Hawaiian Officials CLAIM TREATY RIGHTS VIOLATES Tension is High in Honolulu and Po lice Are Ordsred to Sleep On Their Arms. Honolulu, June 16. M. Negoro, ono of tho editors of tho JIJI, mads formal complaint to the Japanese foreign oflleo today that the territorial authorities invaded his rights as a Japanese sub ject under the treaty between Japan and the United States when High Sher iff William Henry raided the office of tho JIJI and seized alleged Incendiary documents; and is preparing to bring court proceedings against tho territory for $600,000 damages. The alleged violation of bis rights as a Japanese subject guaranteed under tho treaty between the United States and Japan, ho sets forth in his com plaint, consists in the search of his office and the seizure of his private papers by the territorial authorities without due process of law. Terri torial Sheriff William Henry admits) that the search was made by force of arms, and without search warrants or process of law, but claims that the pa pert seized contained ovidenco of crim inal purpose. However he declares tha courts of the territory are open to Negoro for redress if ho has been dam aged. While but slight disturbance of any kind has occurred so far, the city is full of striking Japanese, and the ten sion is so great that orders were Issued this afternoon for the full force of po lice to sleep at tho police station to night, ready for any emergency. An Incident of the day that threat ens a disturbance was the chasing of a carrier of an "extra" of the Japanese newspaper Shinpo, announcing tho ar rest of the editors. The paper from tho start has been opposed to the strike and among tho papers seized in tho raid upon the office of tho strike or gans, were letters containing threats against the life of its editor. Although the strikers have returned to work on the Ewa and Waialua plan tations it is not certain that they have abandoned tho straggle. From the papers seized by Territorial Sheriff Henry it was seen that it was the orig inal plans of the Japaneso to return to work at intervals to cam enough money to maintain tho strike and by this method of working and again striking to wear out tbo planters by tho uncertainty and irregularity of plantation operations. RIFLE SHIPMENT FOUND. Mausers Packed as Pianos Destined for South America. Norfolk, Va., Juno 16. Packed in piano boxes and evidently ready for shipment, a quantity of rifles and am munition, believed to be destined for Venezuelan revolutionists, was discov ered at Franklin today. The rifles are said to bo a part of a consignment of 16,000 Mauser weapons shipped from New York to St. Louia and back to Franklin, billed aa pianos, and packed to weather the trip to South America. The filibuster suspect steamer Nanticoke was lying near Franklin and in the black water below the steamer was her consort, the tug Dispatch. Tho revenue cutter Pimllco is block ading tho two suspects, and it is not believed that either could pass hr even in the darkness. Orders have been issued from Washington to seise the vessels in case either should lift anchor. The Nanticoke is not built for deep sea navigation, but the dis patch could navigate far off t-hore and the officers in charge of the situation believe tho plan of the filibusters was to transport the arms to another steamer at sea, Arkansas Seizes Capitol. Little Rock, Ark., June 15. Gov ernor Donnghoy and two members ot the stato commission today formally took possession of tho uncompleted capitol building, after breaking through n door which had been locked by the contractors, Caldwell '& Drake, whom tho legislature ordered discharged.
