A dispatch to the Herald from Toklo says: The Herald correspondent learns on un questionable authority that Japan is a party to the negotiations now going on between England and Ruttsia at St Petersburg, and that while no alliance exists between England and Japan, they have a definite understanding and are acting in harmony. A high diplo matic official said: ; : "You may say positively that Japan will-back up England against Russia, and if England maintains a firm atti tudo, all immediate danger of war is passed, unless Russia is' resolved to fight at once. In view of England's great, superiority at sea and .her pos session of all the available coal in the Eastern ports, Russia will probably take a conciliatory tone for the pres ent." - . :;,-" The - Herald correppondent visited Marquis Ito today, - and asked him whether - the Jajanese government would, sell the cruisers Chitose and Sakagi to Amerioa. The marquis hesi tated a moment, and replied: T. ,- -.': "I will make inquiries of my naval colleagues, but I think I may say that Japan prefers to get possession of all the ships building for her as soon as possible. o Orders have already- been made to bring the ships to Japan, and the builders have been requested . to hasten their completion." ; - After a pause the marquis continued slowly and impressively: ." - v ' -- "The news of the last few days in dicates a critioal state of affairs else where than on. the Western continent, and we consider it only prudent to con tinue our provisions for the national defense. I hope the people of the United States will not take offense at Japan's unwillingness to part with these cruisers. I have always appreci ated their kindly feelings for Japan. The United States is a nation above all others where public, "sentiment abso lutely controls the national policy, and for that reason I wish to have the peo ple there understand that Japan re-, tains the ships, not from a lack of willingness to oblige the United States, but because she needs them herself.'.' "In case of war between the United States and Spain, your excellency," the correspondent asked, ."will ; Japan al low the warships of both belligerents to take coal at Japanese ports, or refuse it to both?" "That opens a long vista of possibil ities," he replied. r.:"Soine authorities contend that coal and even ' provisions should be contraband of war, as both are necessary to maintain hostilities at sea. ' Whenever war is declared be tween two or more powers, Japan, if neutral, will bear in mind in deciding the coal question the manner in which her decision will affect all the belliger ents and her own interests." The Herald correspondent learns that Japan has received a oable from Eng land .or all' -the warships building for her in English private yards, consist ing of three 16,000-ton battle ships and three first-class - armored oruisers - of about 10,000 tons each.

THE VIEWS OF AN EXPERT Captain Perttl's Arguments Refuted Spanish Divers' Method of . Work The Court of Inquiry. " Havana, March 15. It is impossible to send direct from Havana, anything in refutation of Captain Peral's state ment of yesterday regarding the views of ' the Spanish board of inquiry on the Maine - disaster. - However, an American expert says in effeot, and his words are worthy of. weight, as he knows absolutely of what he is talking: "1 am a graduate of the torpedo- whool and have studied the effects of torepdos and mines from observation and experiments. A torpedo exploded at a depth of six "feet would throw a column of water 100 feet Into the air; at 12 feet,' 10 feet in the air, and at 80 feet, would hardly raise a small wave. A detonator of gun ootton in the open air makes a mark of i,ts own size in steel, or blows stone - into fragments. In the water, a torpedo itself would not be felt at any distance. It requires tne resistance of a solid body, and would be dissipated in water or mud. This disposes of the wave theory and the affecting of shore or boats in the harbor.'? i; As to the hole in the Maine, the ex pert in question makes the most im portant statement that the Maine drew 28 to 80 feet at the time of the explo sion, and had about' 10 feet of ' water below her .bottom.- On the port side, where the United States divers are now at woik, there is at present 27 feet of water. May this not be the hole, which Captain Peral says could not be found? f- If It was, the hole was more than seven feet deep when the explosion took plaoe, and had greatly filled since. , As to the finding of dead fish,' the court of inquiry has not seen a solitary fish since work began on the wreck. The bodies reoovered from the Maine have not been touched by fishes. 8ome of the fishermen in Havana testified that there were no fish inside the har bor, the waters being too foul for them. Further, as to the alleged discoveries of Spanish divers." reported to" Captain Peral, five American divers have been working on the port side of the wreck on an average of seven hours per day each for nearly three weeks, in a space 50 feet long and 20 feet wide. The Spanish divers have never been inside the wreck at all, neither have they ever been on the port side, devoting the short hours whioh they spent un der water to the starboard and forward parts and outside the hull. . - ? Eeoently, to their own surprise, they brought up two cans of ammuntion for the six-inch guns, not exploded. They dropped them back when the light of the surface showed that they were un exploded and what their nature was. The Spanish divers often go down only long enough to wet their suits, and then come up and hide behind a blanket on the barge, where they sleep or rest for a couple of hours, and then go ashore and report that they cannot see anything In the mud and water. They oould not have found the ram of the Maine, since they have not been down in the locality of that part of the werok. They have not located the tur ret with the 10-inch guns, though the spot has been pointed out by Captain Sharp, of the' wreckers. All of these facts are known by the United States court of inquiry, having been elicited by the testimony of persons who know. The expert Interviewed by the corre spondent expresses the belief that the Maine was blown up by what is known as a Newport torpedo, a stationary torpedo, or something of the same na ture. This engine of : destruction is the . joint production of the labors of Commander Converse, commander of the Montgomery; Lieutenant-Com mander McLean, now in command of the ' torpedo station at Newport, and Lieutenant Holman, ordnance officer of the Maine at the time of the ex plosion. The Newport torpedo oan be planted from a small boat, and the ex pert believes that this one was explod ed by being struck on '. the port of the Maine - forward of amidships as she swung at her moorings. He thinks this more likely than that wires were laid . from shore, as the wires, if laid for any length, -would sink deep in the harbor mud. . - -. It would be singular if it should prove that the Maine was blown up by a torpedo in the invention of which one of her principal officers, Lieutenant Holman, bore a notable part. , . . i. All the foregoing statements came from the authority on which the court depended for much of its evidence, and is given to the correspondent without reservation, except as to the name and rank of the giver. . , The expert further believes that the destroying mine was made ' up of four torpedoes, ; of 86 pounds each, of wet and -dry gun cot ton, or 144 pounds in all. In the judgment of the correspond ent, the United States court of inquiry is fully aware of the views which the Spanish Court of inquiry will promul The Government Seonres a Fair of Bra- . - cllian Vessels. 1 .Washington, March 16. A week's negotiations closed today by the tri umphant purchase by the navy depart ment in London of the two fine cruiserB Amazonas and Admiral Abrenall, built and building at Elsewick for the Bra- zilian government. Possibly the offi cials took more pleasure in closing the business in this matter because of the knowledge . that Spanish agents had been striving to secure these very shipi and tn at to Spain, it is said, they would be of: much greater value in case of trouble than to the United States. V The next question is how to get the ships home, and. that has not yet been settled, according to the secretary of the navy. The United States flag will be hoisted over the new ships within a week, probably; and just as soon as the crew can be put aboard the Amazonas, she will start for the United States. The other vessel ' will follow at . the earliest possible mo&ent. The terms of the sale are secret. . ,-:" .' i The availability of the two Brazilian ships was first brought to the attention of the navy department by Mr. Lane, agent of the Nordenfeldt Company, who was authorized to dispose of these ships building at Elsewick, and two others in course of construction" in France. Mr. Lane said today that the two ships purchased would be a most desirable acquisition to the American navy, as they were the latest and best produots of the famous Armstrong yards. One of the ships is complete in every re spect, has her coal supply and ammuni tion on board, and steam can be raised at any time. There will be no trouble in bringing this ship across, as an ade quate force from the local yards can be secured for the service. ; It is said the coal and ammunition on board passed with the sale to the United States. The ammunition is not of the Kind in use by the American navy,- so that the supply of ammunition is a neoessary adjuriot of the new ships. . ;' ' The other ship has been" launched, but it will take some time to make her ready for sea. Mr. Lane believes, bow ever, that there will be no difficulty in bringing her over immediately if it is desired to make the move without de lay, as the hull of the ship is so well along that she could be towed, and her own sail power' utilized for' the trip. Senator Proctor visited the White House an'd up-town departments today, and his calls exoited a great deal of in terest. - He spent half an hour with Seoretary Alger, explaining, it is be lieved, the military situation in Cuba, and afterwards held a conference with Judge Day, assistant secretary of state. Then he went to the White House, and was closeted with the president for two hours. When he emerged from the room he courteously declined to speak regarding the nature of the informa tion he has communicated to the presi dent." ; . "'7 -',' " " ; ','' ' The two Brazilian ships will be ex tremely valuable additions to the Uni ted States navy in either war or peaoe, in the opinion of Seoretary Long, who acknowledges they . have been bought by the United States. They are steel sheathed and coppered, with twin screws. The Amazonas 1b rated at 1,400 tons displacement, with an indi cated horsepower, under - natural draught, of 7,000, which is calculated to develop 20 knots ipeed. - Thus, while the ship is about the size of the : Charleston, she is much faster. Her armament is also much more formidable, not so muoh in cali ber, for the main battery is made up of six-inch guns, but the guns are what is known as 50-caliber length, giving them an unusual range and power. In addi tion to this they have 10 6-pounder quick-firing guns,, four 1-pounders, four Maxim machine" guns, and two boat or field guns. - The torpedo' tubes are three in number. ' The Coal capacity is 850 tons, giving her an effective steaming radius of 8,000 knots, a most valuable feature, inasmuch as it would enable the ship to cross and recross the Atlantic with out coaling. Such a vessel as a com meroe destroyer would be vastly .more effective than what appears to be more powerful oraft, because of their ability to get - along on ; long- cruises 'without touching at neutral ports to coal, and thus exposing themselves to capture. The bureau of ordnance of the war department opened - bids today for a large supply of armor-piercing projec tiles, and for 13,000,000 rifle ball car tiidges. . The bidding brought together a number of representatives of large steel and ammunition companies, some of whom took occasion to : giva assur ances that in the present, emergenoy, government would be given the prefer ence oyer commercial orders. '' The .bidders for steel projectiles, varying in size from the 8-inch : steel capped shot to the 1,000-pound shot, were the Midvale . Steel . Company, the Batha-IUingsworth Co., the Carpenter Stoel Company and the Furth Sterling Company. The bids varied only slight ly on the various olasess of heavy shot, running from $116 each for the 8-inch to $185 each from the 1,000-pocnders. The bids for rifle cartridges were in two parts, 10,000,000 being standard metallic ball oartldges, with brown powder, and 2,000,000 new cartridges, . with smokeless powder." There were three bidders, viz: " The Union Metal lic Cartridge Company, the - United States Cartridge Company, and the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Arraigned by the Kansas Pop ulist Administration. MAXIMUM FREIGHT RATE LAW Governor - Leedjr Declares the Iteeent Nebraska Case Decision Was Palpa bly Wrong An Address Issued. Topeka, Kan. , March 14. The Popu list administration of the state of Kan sas gave out a startling publio address today, one bristling with severe criti cism of the recent - decision of the United States supreme court in the Ne braska maximum freight case. The ad dress is significant in that Governor Leedy has already taken' steps prelim inary to calling the state legislature in special session, with the especial pur pose of enacting a maximum freight rate law. While the address is given out over the signature of Governor Leedy, it had first been approved by Chief . Justice Hosier, of the state su preme court and other prominent Pop ulists. ' In giving the address to the reporters. Governor Leedy said: ,. ., . "How long do you suppose a man can write treason like this without getting into jail? You may put my signature to it and make it a signed statement, so that if anybody goes to jail it will be me." :; v -. . The governor begins his address with the statement that for a year the press dispatches have said that the opinion in the Nebraska case would be adverse to the state. Then he saysi " "The opinion has been handed down, and the Associated Press dispatches say that it is a olean victory for the rail roads. On the' contrary, . it is an un clean victory in every respect of the case, showing that no matter how care fully the robes of justice are ; folded about . the personnel of the supreme oourt, the robes can no longer oonceal the cloven hoof of offiolal malfeasance and usurpation. As this decision was due a year ago, and as there, was no known reason for the delay, and as the decision as rendered confirms the state ments made in the Associated - Press dispatches from time to time, strong color is ' given to the suspicion that the press dispatohes emanated - from some person in touch ; with the court, and were for the purpose of feeling the pulse of the publio and preparing it for the decision whioh goes ranch fur ther in the direction of usurping power than any that has been made." , " The governor- declares that the con stitution of Nebraska gives the legis lature power to; establish - maximum charges for transportation,' and de clared that the' supreme court has tried Via abrogate it . He challenges Justice Harlan's declaration that a corporation is a person under the 14th amendment to the federal constitution, and says: ' "I deny it, and so will everybody but a corporation lawyer or a subserv ient judioial tool of oorporate inter eats.",..:;. '; 7." Governor Leedy then quotes the 14th amendment, and says: ,. - ; "How, in the name of God, can this apply to corporations? Corporations are not born; they are created made by law. " They cannot - be naturalized; they can take no oath of '. allegianoe; only human beings can do that." After more in the same strain, the governor, still referring to the 14th amendment, says: r.-- - --.. "Who are the persons who shall not, according to the provisions, be deprived of life, liberty or property, nor be de nied equal legal protection? Every body outside the asylum and off the judicial bench knows them to be and to only be natural persons. They are those.;" who, beside - the capacity to hold property and enjoy legal protec tion, also have life and can enjoy lib erty, and that means human beings." Continuing, the governor quotes 'Hare on American Constitutional Law," and a decision by Justice Woods, of the United States cirouit court, afterward supreme court justice, to prove that the 14th amendment does not refer to corporations, and declares that the Woods decision had been : fol lowed in California, Rhode Island . and other states from 1870 to 1882, "when Justioe Field and another federal "jus tice of the peaoe named Sawyer decided the other way, and since then, when ever a corporation starts out to oommit highway robbery, pick a man's pocket, or loot a publio treasury, it liguises it self as a person' and goes out on its mission of plunder. Nobody . but a slave or a knave will yield assent to the hideous distortion of meaning which Judge Harlan gives to the word 'per son,' as used in the 14th amendment, and npon which he bottoms his - infa mous decision, and which shows to what depths of iniquity the supreme court of the United States has de scended." '7 - .. "I desire," the governor . said, "to quote some of the decisions of the su-: preme court of the United States before it went into partnership with Morgan, Vanderbilt, Gould & Co., in opposi tion to the opinion' they t hold in the Nebraska ' case. " (Long decisions by Marshall in 1860 are quoted). . 7 . In conclusion, Governor Leedy states that his maximum rate bill will be presented to the Kansas legislature. i Eleven Men Were Burned to Death In ... the Flames. New York, March 15.

It is called the Bowery mission lodging-house, and is conducted by the Christian Herald. . In one part of the building there is a cheap restaurant. The second floor is used exclusively for mission purposes, gospel meetings be ing held there daily." ; The two upper Boors were fitted up as-cheap lodgings, with accommodations for 150 males, who paid 10 to 25 cents each, accord ing to the location of the room.. : ' Last night almost every bed was was occupied. At 1:80 o'clock this morn ing, one of the lodgers discovered flames soming from a washroom on the third floor, but before he had time to alarm the house, the fire was noticed by per sons on the street. By this time the Barnes had eaten their way to the top Df the building, and were bursting through the roof when the alarm was given and the inmates aroused. . Wild scenes of exoltement ensued. Many of the lodgers became panic-stricken. They rushed into the halls and fell over eaoh other in their efforts to reaob the streets. Those on the lower floors got to the streets safely by the stair ways, while those on the upper floors groped their way through the blinding smoke to the fire escape in front of the building. ' A majority of them -saved only portions of their -clothing, while several of them were naked.. Those who made their way to the streets by the fire escapes were superfioially burned by the excessive - heat of the iron ladders, which in many places had become redhot from the flames within. The firemen saved many lives. . - : DOLE HOME AGA N. He Believes That Annexation Will ITltl ( , uiately Succeed. . 3 .. ; San Francisoo,- March 15.

"The Maine disaster absorbed the attention of the statesmen in Wash ington previous to my departure for Ha waii. . When that has quieted down interest in Hawaiian annexation will be paramount in congress. When I was in Washington I met many friends of Hawaii. They feel confident that annexation will come. : While there was a doubt whether the treaty would seoure the required politioal votes in the senate, still it, was the concensus of opinion that a joint resolution would carry in both houses. I place much reliance in what was said to me by sen ators and representatives who are fight ing for Hawaii, for I know them to be working faithfully and earnestly." "What is Speaker Beed's attitude?"
