Has Distorted Tacts and Suggested Had

and Caused Considerable Dissatis
faction at the United States
Jiinbassy.
Lo.vuos, Ami. 20. Upon authority of
unbounded reliability, a importer of tho
Aenociiite J Trees haB ascertained that
Into the Alaska dispute there has crept
tho craft int'HB of Ituatian diplomacy
Husaia, it can bo stated, will do every
thing, with every possible energy, to pre
vent the pmctlcul cohesion of tho two
great English-speaking nutiuiiB. In all
hor embassies, instructions have been
received to thwart tho Anglo-American
understanding. A prominent diplomat,
vim ih intimately acquainted with the
details of the negotiations of the past few
years, ssld to a reporter of the Associated
Press :
"In any arrangement looking to a
working agreement between England
and the United States, Ituesiu sees the
defeat of her dearest projects. I believe
her intense activity in China Is to no
small extent due to her fear that Anglo
Saxon power, once realized, will sweep
everything before it In the far Eust.
Dreading the rapid realization of this
nightmare, she 1b making buy while the
6un shines, In the meantime intriguing
to the utmost to tie the hands of those
who aro working to materialize Anglo
American sentiment. The later evidence
of this is in the Alaska aliitlr.
"Though, strictly speaking, it is a mat
ter of internal politics and would have
been settled long ago if left solely to
Great Drituin and the United States,
ltuseia has managed to suggest motives
uever dreamed of by America, by dis
torting facts. It is impossible for me to
divulge exactly how, or to whut extent
Kiissia got iter paws into the dispute.
Hut the attitude of her press, ofllclal to
tliu corn, Is quite BUfllcient to show her
motive."
Tho caustic remarks of Sir Charles
Tuppur, formerly Canadian high com
missioner, in an interview with a repre
sentative of tho Associated Press, had
with him August 18, when ho Bald the
United States was purposely delaying
the settlement of the Alaska dispute on
account of tho pecuniary benefit occuriug
to minors and coast cities through tho
delay, and hud refused to have the
boundary delimited, as was being done
in Vomzuola, created considerable dis
tatlsfaction at tho United States
embassy.
It wna claimed there that Sir Chail a
Tuppur quite misrepresented the facts;
that the dllatoriness was entirely due to
the Canadians.

Bryan Still Talking Silver.
Kansas City. Aug. 20. Hon. W. J.
Bryau stopped here between trains while
route to Denver, today.
I shall continue to discuss silver,"
said Mr. liryan in response to a repor
tr'a ouerv. adding: "There was a story
from Des Moines recently that I was
putting silver In the background, i am
I will not. 1 was incorrecuy re
ported. Silver will be placed alongside
t ti. ntimr areit issues, and it will be
hare of consideration. I
stand by the Chicago democratic plat
form. When a new nauy is uorn ih
household the parents do sot expel the
other children. Because the democratic
party is making a fight on imperialism,
militarism and trusts is no icason why
we should send from our household nn
older child. We should gather all these
children into our arms nnd light for
them."

from the wound, and witnesses examined

charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon, without bail. Upon the rctu.ii
of the verdict, a warrant for Mini's ar

Welcome toCalifornians.
San Fkaxclsco, Aug. 2G. The popular
welcome of the California volunteers who
arrived Irom Manila on the transport
Sherman reached its climax tonight in a
parade which has scarcely ever been ex
ceeded in this city for size or picturesque
features. The crowds in the streets ex
ceeded by far those ever before called out
by any similar demonstration, the side
walks on many of the principal thor
oughfares being practically impassable
for hours. The entire city was illumin
ated, thousands of electric lamps being
swung across the streets, and the city
hall and ferry depot being outlined in
light. The parade started from the
northern end of Vanness avenue at an
early hour, but it was late before it
passed through the business section of
the city. Almost every civic and mili
tary orgainization In this part of the
state was represented in the long line
which comprieed the escort to the home
coming troops, and the hundreds of
thousands of spectators along the line of
march were widely enthusiastic.

Advised Against Negro Regiment.
Washington, Aug. 20. The adminis
tration is in a quandary about the col
ored regiment. With a possible race war
in Georgia, in which United States troops
may be ctlled out to disperse negro riot
ers, simultaneously with the organisa
tion of a negro regiment, the situation is
somewhat grotesque. Prominent South
ern men who support the administration
policy have advised against a colored
regiment.
