WHOLE PROBLEM Hayes Is Confident of the Set tlement of the Japan ese Difficulty. TALK OF WAR SCOUTED No Japanese Military Companies Forming In Hawaii Proposed Fortifications of Islands Not Connected With Japan. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. Represen tative Hayes today made the following additional statement concerning the conference held at the White House yesterday by the President and mem bers of his Cabinet with the California delegation: "The California delegation Is pleased with the situation with reference to Japan as developed at the conference. We feel very hopeful that the result of this conference and of others that will follow will be a solution of the Japan ese difficulty that will be perfectly satisfactory to the . people of Cal ifornia." Speaking for himself, Mr. Hayes said: "I have no fear of any diplomatic crisis with Japan, nor of any serious trouble of any kind with that Nation." It is stated at the War Department that no report has been received from any source indicating that the Japan ese in Hawaii have organized secret military organizations and are drilling with a view to acquiring control of the Island. Regarding the appeal of the War De partment to Congress for an appropri ation to complete the defenses of Hawaii, it is denied that this appeal has any connection whatever with the relations between Japan and the Uni ted States, but was simply dictated by the desire "to put the house in order" in accordance with the plans formed a year ago by military and naval offi cers. Secretary Taft, upon leaving the White House today said: "I have striven for years to secure suitable coast defenses for outlying de pendencies. In the case of Hawaii, I suppose Congress is more willing to give what we ask for than in the Phil ippines or Porto Rico. The Japanese government does not show any indica tion of hostility to our Government, and we feel no hostility to Japan." CALIFORNIA SKNATE ASSENTS Defers Action on Japanese After Sharp Criticism of Congressmen. SACRAMENTO. Cal., Jan. 31. One of the liveliest debates on the Japanese ques tion that has occurred,: in the Senate during the present session ,waa precipi tated today by the reading of a message from the Governor conveying to the Sen ate a telegram received from the Califor nia delegation at Washington, urging, at the request of the President, that the California Legislature for a short time defer all legislation on Japanese meas ures. The Governor asked that in view of the apparent itnportance-'of the mat ter as indicated by the telegram the Ben ate take no further action on tho Japa nese question for the present. Senator Keane's Joint resolution pro testing against the naturalization of Japanese, which was up for passage, was immediately referred to the commit tee on Federal relations; The reading of the Governor's message brought forth a resolution from Senator Caminetti de manding that the Attorney-General of the state bo authorized to go to Wash ington to represent the state In the con ference asked for by President Roose velt and the Secretary of State with the president of the Board of Education and the Superintendent of Schools of San Francisco. Mr. Caminetti made a sharp attack on the California delegation in Washington for its failure to take some action in Congress on the Japanese ques tion and was replied to by Senator Wolfe, who defended the delegation. The reso lution was sent to the committee on Fed eral relations. The message from the Governor was read In the Assembly without comment and will be acceded to. CONFERENCE .AMONG JAPANESE Merchants Think Exclusion of Coo lies Would Settle Trouble. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31.-3ouroka Ikida, of San Francisco, secretary of the gianaa jis&uciauon oi America, a prime mover In the Japanese school con troversy at San Francisco, is here to meet with 28 representatives of the as sociation for a two days' conference on questions of interest to Japanese.

"Tomorrow we expect to take up the dlscusssion of the advisability of exclud ing the Japanese coolies who go to Hon olulu as laborers from the mainland. I believe that If only the best class of Japanese merchants come to California. there could be no objection. We want to build up our trade and there is no reason why we should not bring much mat is good to America." WHOLE BOARD MAY GO EAST School Directors Await Information From Congressmen. SAN FRANCISCO.

To the Edi tor.) It is not ths purposs of this writer to "butt In" on other people's affairs, but no doubt readers of The Oregonlan In the upper country will wonder why In your list publlahed last Sunday of the survlvlu herds of buffalo In this country, one of the finest and largest should not be nisntionel. I refer to that belonging' to the Conrad es tate, at Kallspell. I am unable to give the exact number, but any one spending an hour In Kallspell in Summer may see this herd, ranging from massive bulls, black as night, all the way down to the little humpy calf feeding leisurely on the extensive ln closure Just north of town. In Winter they are driven (always on early Sunday morn ing, when nobody is on the road across the Flathead Klver. eight or ten miles southeast to a big Winter -range embracing several sections kept for the purpose. Buf falo care nothing for cold or snow, and never tske to shelter, but always He down on the highest open knoll. One would sup pose they would take to shelter In a blls zard, but they do not. At night, no matter what the weather, they seek the bleakest spot to rest. This has become second na ture with them, on account of wolves, no doubt, the Inveterate enemy of the Amer ican blfon. Thirty-five years ago I hunted and learned at first hand" the ways of these animals on the plains. They root the same es a hog through deep snow to the grass. Some years ago a party of English bloods. "don't yer know," time to Montana in quest of big gams. They had all manner of servants, nlgh-power guns, etc. After threshing about several days, killing coyotes and Jackrafcblts, they paid Mr. Conrad at Kallspell 50O a head for the privilege of shooting down two or three of his gentle buffalo. These were borne away across the Atlantic, as trophies of their great prowess in "North America." I forgot to say that the Conrada have not experienced the many difficulties breeding and Increasing their herd mentioned in last Sunday's paper by your correspondent In fact, theirs readily cross with domestic cattle.

Man might often take from the lower animals a lesson as to the care of him self when 111. AH sorts of animals suffering from fever eat little, lie quiet in dark, airy places, and drink quan tities of water. When a dog loses his appetite he knows where to find dog grass, which acts as a purgative and emetic. 61eep and cows, when 111. seek certain herbs. Any animal suffer ing from chronic rheumatism keeps as far as possible In the sun. If a chim panzee be wounded he has been seen to stop the bleedins by a plaster of chewed-up leaves and ffrass.
