CANNOT AGREE
Hawaii and Japan Quarreling Oyer Iraml
gratlou.
The following Hawaiian advices were
brought by the steamer l'eru: The Hawaiian
government In Its reply to Japan on May 24,
refused to coincide with the rlewe held by
that country on the sending back of 523 Im
migrants brought by the Klnianl March 9.
(illli'inl notice has been given Japan that the
emigration laws of Hawaii are to be vigor
ously upheld.
The answer of Jnpnn bad not been de
livered to Japan's Hawnllnn representative,
ft wns learned, however, that the view tnken
hy Japan l that, while the right of the Ha
waiian iioveruineiit to pass reasonable laws
respecting Immigration is not denied, It la
contended that it tlie.contontlon of the Ha
wallnn officials were correct the immlKratlon
laws of that country were In contravention
of the treaty existing between those coun
tries Further, It was stated that Japan says tho
action of the executive In returning the Jap
anese immigrants was arbitrary and capri
ciously enforced, and that the decision of
the supreme court in the habeas corpus eases
was it denial of Justice, and for that reason
the llawlfnn government is expected to rec
ognize the principle of indemnity in the
canes of kiiiiiini Muru Immigrants presented
to the government.
The empire ol Japan also demands assur
aucn of this government that a like action
would not be taken with Japanese immi
grants coming Into Hawaii. The position
taken by the Hawaiian government Is that
the immigration Inns are a reasonable exor
cise of police power of the state, and that
the administration had Impartially enforced
them. F3r this reason, the Hawaiian gov
ernment considers that the principal Indem
nity cases do not apply.

The resignation of the Spanish cabinet and
the general stnto of political uneasiness ab
sorb publlo attention. A cabinet council was
held, the queen regent presiding. The re
tiring premier, Senor Cannvas del Castillo,
made a long statement regarding Cuba, the
Philippine Islands, the International situation
and the relations between Hpaln and the
I nited Htates, which led to his resigna
tion. Her majesty declared herself satisfied
with the explanation of Senator Canovns,
and begged him to continue tbe government
until the crisis was solved.
Henor Canovas, after the council, said the
queen had asked him to telegraph Marshal
Mart I tier, de Campos, asking him to come to
Madrid, and that the latter had replied that
he would arrive here to-morrow. Henor
Canovas added that a solution of the crisis
would be difficult, and depended upon tbe

ANGELL AND THE TURK.
Objsotlont to tht New Minleter Withdraws
by the Porte.
The objections of the Hultnn to receiving
Dr. James II. Angell, of Michigan, as minis
ter of the V nlted Htates has been withdrawn.
The state department was so notified by Mr.
Terrell, the present diplomatic representa
tive of the country In Constantinople. Mr.
Terrell tins sought from the first to disabuse
the minds of the Turkish authorities of
prejudice against Dr. Angell. It was be who
notified the state department of the feeling
of the porte against the new minister, which
brought forth an explanation from Dr. An
gell that waa transmitted to Turkey through
this government.
The principal complaint of the porte
against Dr, Angell was based on on croup
ous idea of the Congregational churoh, of
which the porte understood Dr. Angell was
a member, The representations made to
the Turkish government, Mr. Terrell says,
were that the Congregntlonalists were a
political-religious body, likened by the
Turks to the Jesuits, aiid that bad designs
on the welfsre of the Hultnn's empire. The
Hultnn was therefore advised to object to re
ceiving as the representativo of a friendly
foreign power a man who was a member of
and in sympathy wit'.i, if not actually con
cerned in, a body that wns working against
his Interests. This and the other objections
were explained away by Dr. A.igell, and
Turkey is now willing to welcome blm with
Ottoman cordiality.

SPANISH CRISIS.
Government Knooksd Oat By tht Fit
of Tetusn.
The premier, Henor Canovas del Castillo,
has tendered to the queen regent the resig
nation of the cabinet, owing to the difficulty
tbe ministers experience In carrying on the
government In view of the parliamentary sit
uation caused by the refusal of the Liberals
to take part In the deliberations of oortes.
This attitude of the Liberals Is duo to the
personal encounter between the duke of Te

Prof. Comas, a Liberal senator, on May 21,
when'tbn duke slapped the face of the sena
tor and knocked blm down after a heated

tion adopted by the United States sennte.
The Madrid correspondent of the London
Times says:
'The queen regent has accepted the resig
nation of the cabinet of Henor Canovas del
Castillo. It has caused a profound sensation.
Before taking this step her majesty begged
Henor Canovas to remain In ntilce until to
morrow In order that she might have another
opportunity to consider the matter In
council, but this only meant that the resigna
tion would bo accepted. Henor Canovas
tendered his resignation because he could
not again undertake to re-establish his re.
latlons wltn the Liberals. Ho preferred to
leave the crown full liberty to decide as to
the best solution. Both houses of the oortes
voted without debate the financial supplies
necessary to enable the cortes to adjourn
sine die, nnd granted authority for the issue
of treasury bonds nnd the contraction of
loans guaranteed by the Hpnnlsn treasury to
cover expenses of the wars In Cuba and the
Philippine Islands with n special lien on the
revenues of Spain of the Cuban war loan.
"The queen regent then signed tho decree

HER ERROR WAS LUCKY.
A Typewriter Csuest a Speolal Session by
Mlstske, but Saves 844,928.
Miss Margaret Williams, the typewriter of
the New Jersey State House, who acquired
oonsidernble fnme because she made the
error that caused tbe special session of the
Legislature, Is now regnrded as n heroine,
and letters are arriving offering bor both
consolation and congratulations.
The error she made was in the bill provid
ing for a special election, so that tho people
could approve the amendments In the con
stitution. A special sesslcn of the Legisla
ture cannot rectify eriors in work of a pre
vious Legislature, so a new election bill had
to be passed. In drafting the new bill tho
ltepubllcaii leaders concluded they had been
too extrnvairant In allowing tho Board of
llegistry to have three days' pay to do vir
tually nothing.
The new law only provides for one dny for
registration purposes. There are in the
the Htnte 980 voting (daces, and four mem
bers of the Board of llegistry, for each place
who receive 3 each. The curtailment of
two service means a saving of 24 for each

MUCH ENCOURAGED.
Dun Sees Only Good In Tht Prettnt
Situation.
It, O. Dun A Co.'s wtekly review of trade
to-morrow taysi
The statement of failures In May by
brancoes of business gives much encourage
ment. In amount of defaulted liabilities the
month waa the smallest since Septembe-,
1NU5; In manufacturing liabilities the smallest
since November, 1HH5, and In trading limits
the smallest since September, except the last
month in 1MI4. Failures of general stores
have not been as small In any month as 1W7.
as only two months of thirty-six have there
been smaller failures la books and hats, only
five In groceries and not one trading class In
that month has reported failures larger than
In the half preceeding months, though in
furniture fall uses aie rather numerous.
'I he statement that exor pt for the tempor
ary depression In prloee the tolume of busi
ness transacted Is now larger than It was in
lH9-the year of greatest persperlty haa
been questioned by some, But a comparison
of prices this week In the leading branches
of manufacture not only confirms that view,
but shows a remarkable similarity to thn
course of prices In the earlier months of
1H79, when ihe most wonderful advance In
production nnd prices ever known in this or
any other country wns close at hand. The
key of the situation Is the exclusive produc
tion ot some goods lu advance of an expect
ed Increase in demand. Ho In 1879 consump
tion gradually gained, month by month, un
til suddenly It was found that the demand
was greater than the possible supply. All
know bow prices then advanced and tbe
most marvelous progrees in tbe history of
any country resulted within two years. Re.
porta from ail parts of the country now
show tbat retail distribution of products it
unusually large and Increasing. There Is no
improvement in the market for farm pro
ducts. Cotton is not higher; and the belief
that the next crop will tie large In spite of
the floods, is general, while the demand for
goods does not change, although In this coun
try it Is large enough. Nor is there any
satisfactory demand for woolen goods,
i i he Iron Industry Is apparently expanding
production, and Is certainly getting larger
contracts, in part because of very low prices,
la being made for beams. Bessemer pig is
stronger nnd gray forge a shade weaker un
der pressure of southern anxiety to sell.
The rail mills are all full, the Illinois Steel
Company having orders for a railway and
bridges in Coren, and there is better demand
for plates and sheets, and from makes of ag
ricultural implements at Chicago for bars.
Shipments of iron ore from Duluth far ex
ceed those of any previous year, both the
Minnesota Iron Company and the Carnegie
mills shipping over 100,000 tons each per
week. While the tod combination nas not
yet been formed, expectation of it with a
large demand has uuvanced prices of nails
6c per keg. Tin is very llrm in spite of a
visible supply of 84.430 tons at (13 50, and
thero are larger dealings in copper, not
above lie for lake. Lead is In fair demand
nttf',c,nnd tin plates arc still telling at iS 30
for lull weight American.
Crop prospects are so good that the ru
mor customary at this season have no atten
tion. It was stated a week ago that along
the northwestern roads prospects wore re
markably bright, and highly favorable re
ports have since appeared from Kansas and
from Texas are given In dispatches from tbe
raclllo coast. The receipts from Western
points are 2.068,705 bushels, ngalnst 1,006,
475 last year, and the Atlantic exposts, flour
Included, were 8,105,787 bushels, against
(r2,33!i,852 last year. The enormous outgo
t; corn continues, receipts having been
5,3x2,Goft bushels, ngalnst 2,8110,00 bushels
for the same week last year, and the ex
ports were 1,92)1.566 bushels, against 1,293,
310 last year.
Failures for tho week have been 241 In the
United Htates, against 234 Inst year, aud 32
In Canada, against 29 last year.

quake shock was felt at Washington, D. C,
