Washington, Feb 1 The Japanese war
cloud will not blow over. - A member el
the California delegation, who ! attended
the conference Wednesday r.ight, sayt that
those present were greatly surprised at
the President's serious view of the situa
tion. This member say i that he learned
much he did not know before end states j
that the "Situation is : mora serious than
yiu would imagine" He continued "Mayor
Schmitz of San F rancisco may think that
war with Japan wouli not amount to much
but we are dealing with a proud brave
people. War with Japan would be noth
ing like the war with Spain. When Japan
strikes, she strikes quickly and . without
warning. We must not exhaust our re
sources in diplomatic preliminaries.
. We mustdisppse pf the Sa&iFrancisco
school question Without going into the
courts. We must do all that is possbile
to avoid war and if war comes it must
not be ourjfault. .
A DANGEROUS ELEMENT
London, Feb. 1 .Diplomatists regard
the feeling of the common people of Japan,
aroused as it is by their victory Over
Russia, as the most danceroua element in
the present situation. Recent travelers I
say the laU war .. has - engendered the
fighting spirit which the people demand to
be satisfied. The Japanese people think
that America is' a mere pigmy beside that
of Russia.
. SECRETARY ROOT SPEAKS '
Washington,5 Feb.-1. Secretary Root is
reported as saying that Japan is being
sounded in her tenderest spot and nation
al pride. The Japanese regard themselves
the equal of any people on earth, partic
ularly feeling themselves supinor to the
Chinese. Anything which tends to place
them on a level with the Chinese in the
eyes of the world they consider degrading
and humiliating. Tact will be necessary
to remove the impression in Japan that
this country is not willing to treat her as
well as the most favored nations.
The administration beheves that the
president of the board of education and
superintendent of the public school. v in
San Francisco hold the solution of the
problem in their own hands.
The President's cabinet discussed the
Japanese situation two hours today. Sec
retary Root and Taft remained some time
after the others had left.
JAP SHIP OVERHAULED
It was learned at the navy department
that all Japanese battleships in the navy
yards are being thoroughly overhauled
ALMOST AN ULTIMATUM
Washington, Feb. 1. It is learned to
day that representations which Ambass
ador Aoki made to Secretary Riot, while
polite, were really in the nature of an ul
timatum. This government was informed
that the Tokio government insists that
their subjects be teated as those of the
most favored n? tion, and thaltheacknow
leduement of this principal is made a con
dition as a precedent to further negotia
tions. Japanese subjects at San Francis
co must he accorded the same privileges
as the subjects of Great Britain, Germany
or any other first class power This is
the reason why the President sent for the
San Francisco officials.

TROUBLE WITH THE DOUWERS ;
(Scrlpps New Association)
Calgary, Feb. 1. Some of the Doukho- ,
bars here are proving very unreasonable '
and it has become necessary to tend
a special missionary among them in the
person on the Rev. John McDougall of
Saskatchewan province. A strong ma
jority is insisting on becoming naturalized
and also insist on living a comrnunistio
life, and none other. The great part ha va
settled down, but a remnant has proved
so unyielding that arrangements , are in
progress by means of which they will be
enabled to lead this lift, Mr- McDougall
is engaged on this work at present, i .
