NOT OVER ANXIOUS
Komura Talks of Japan's Dis
position to Peace.
WELL RECEIVED'IN CHICAGO
Hints Strongly at Protectorate Over
Corea China's Demand to Be
Considered, Not Prompted
by Other Powers.
CHICAGO. July 24. Baron Komura, the
Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs and
plenipotentiary In the impending peace
negotiations with Russia, arrived In Chi
cago today from St- Paul on the Burling
ton Limited. Delegations were on hand
to greet the visitors. One of the delega
tions, composed of. Japanese merchants,
students and professional men, was
headed by the Japanese Consul. A com
mittee consisting of representative Chi
cago business men, city officials and
others, including Corporation Counsel J.
Hamilton Lewis, was also on hand. The
Baron and suite were driven to the Audi
torium. Arrangements were made to
leave on the Pennsylvania IS-hpur train
lor New York. The stay of Baron Ko
mura in Chicago followed his original
prdgramme, which allowed him several
hours rest here.
Hon. Thomas K. Bryan, who ras vice
president ofthe Columbia Exposition, came
into Chicago on Baron Komura's private
car. Several years ago the Baron was
entertained at Mr. Bryan's home. Elm
hurst. The peace plenipotentiary, remem
bering the courtesy, telegraphed last
night, asking Mr. Bryan to board the
Baron's private car at Aurora and Jour
ney with the party to tChicago.
.Mr. Lewis, representing Mayor Dunne,
was Introduced to the plenipotentiary by
Mr. Bryan and welcomed him on behalf
of Mayor Dunne. Baron Komura thanked
Mr. Lewis and expressed a desire to meet
Mr. Dunne.
The peace commissioner said that he
was not at this moment officially interest
ed In the question of municipal owner
ship and operation of railroads, but that
it jvas-a good subject to be enlightened on.
"In Japan." said the Baron, "the gov
ernment owns and operates the sa't and
tobacco works that produce revenue, and
the government's monopoly from an eco
nomic standpoint is a good thing. How- I
ever, this question of public ownership Is '
ioihvij a question oi environment and
conditions."
Baron Komura authorized the following
statement:
"tcw Tork we sna11 meet Minister
Takahlra. whom we expect to have word
from President Roosevelt inviting us to
..L.elther at vster Say or "Washington.
"We desire peace, yet we are not over
anxious, nor are we ovensanguinc that the
negotiations will be productive. A Japan
ese protectorate over Corea will open the
way f0r Japanese Immigration there and
divert it from this country."
ACTED OX HER OWN INITIATIVE
China's Demand Was Not Instigated
by Any Other Power.
AMHERST. Mass.. July 24.-That China,
In communicating to the powers her un
willingness to recognize any treaty re
garding Manchuria about which she has
not previously been consulted, acted en
tirely on her own initiative, was the em-phatlc-statement
of Sir Cheng Tung Liang
Cheng, the Chinese Minister, who is
.spending the Summer here.
"The note Just mside public by the
Washington Government." declared the
Minister, "was addressed by my govern
ment first to the belligerents and later
to the neutral powers. Previous to this
mi government had sounded Its Govern
ors nd Viceroys and Minister aViw
regarding various phases of the Manchur- !
lan question, and the notification to the
powers that we would not recognize any
arrangement regarding the Chinese prov
inces of .Manchuria about which we had
not been consulted beforehand was not
prompted, or even suggested, so far as I
am aware, by any other government, but
emanated directly from the Pekln gov
ernment, which acted in this matter en
tirely on Its own initiative."
The Minister has received brief advices
about the bqycott declared against Amer
ican goods by Chinese merchants. On this
point he said:
"The Chinese Government has done
what Jt could to discourage this boycott,
which Is not In any way a governmental
affair, but emanates from the commercial
guilds, over which the government has no
control."

MORE POWER TO ASSEMBLY
Committee of. Ministers Improves on
Boullgan's Plan.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 21. The pro
posals of the government for a national
assembly as arranged by the committee
of ministers and now submitted for the
Emperor's consideration differ essentially
from the original scheme outlined by the
commission headed by M. Boullgan, Min
ister of the Interior. They are more lib
eral and are free from vexatious com
plexities, placing the assembly on a more
Independent footing and empowering its
president to report direct to the Emperor,
while the assembly may select its own
officers, including Its president, and dls
'cuss any matters of a legislative charac
ter with greater freedom.
Further, the committee of Ministers rec
ommends that the assembly be authorized
to examine all appointments to the differ
ent Ministries and to question Ministers
on affairs within their Jurisdiction.

COLLINS LOSES HIS CASE
British Columbia Judge Decides
Against Callfornian. -
VICTORIA. B. O. July 24.-3 P. M.)
Judge Lampan decided against George D.
Collins; the lawyer charged with per
jury In the points raised by him In the
extradition case now proceeding.
Judge Lampan said In regard to the
contention that the extradition act of 1SS5
had no application where it was Incon
sistent with the treaty, and did not apply
to perjury, aa that offense was not enu
merated in the treaty as an extraditable
offense: thaC the new treaty of '1SS3 or
1S00. which made provision for extradi
tion for perjury was made for the pur
pose of extending the list of extraditable
crimes not specified In the old treaty and
Its effect was to make perjury an extra
ditable offense under the act.
The Judge held that the act did not need
an order In council to bring it into
effect, as contended hy Collins. He also
held that the facts as alleged against
Collins with regard to swearing to false
affidavit at San Francisco constituted per
jury under laws of Canada. Collins gave
notice of appeal by habeas corpus pro
ceedings. f
One of the points raised by George D.
Collins, the lawyer whose extradition to
San Francisco for perjury la sought be
fore Judge Lampman, was disposed of this
morning when Judge Lampman read a
telegram he had received from the Ca
nadian Secretary of States, which said
the extradition act of 1S89 (which omit
ted the offense of perjury) had never been
proclaimed and Is therefore not law.
Collins then fell back upon his conten
tion that the extradition act of 1SS6. upon
which his extradition is being sought,
transcended the Ashburton treaty upon
which It was based, nvhlch Included per
jury In Its list of extraditable offenses,
as perjury was not mentioned in the
schedule of the treaty. In consequence.
he held it had been made void so far as'
the offense of perjury was concerned.
Collins also contended Canada had no
power to go beyond the scope of a treaty
and its extradition act must conform en
tirely to the laws of England. He also
brought forward a number of minor tech
nicalities.
Frank HIggins, for the prosecution,
charged Collins with misleading the
court and suppressing facts. He had sup
pressed all mention of the British North
American act. which was practically Can
ada's constitution, and gave Canada
power to legislate and make extradition
acts. The extradition act of 1SS6 had its
authority from the British North Amer
ica act. and an order in Council was not
nece?sary, as Collins contended, to bring
ing the act Into force. The question of
the validity of the act had been raised
before despite the fact that Collins held
otherwise, in the Gaynor and Greene
case, and It had then been held valid.
Collins In reply said he had not at
tempted to mislead. The British North
America act was not sufficient, he held,
for an extradition act. "Nothing but a
treaty could give effect to it A treaty
was the sole source of authority, and an
extradition act which transcended a
treaty as that of 1SSS did In Including
perjury, was null and void, and a void
act could not be ratified. He also held
that the alleged perjury at San Francisco
would not constitute a crime in Canada.
TJie Canadian law made It a crime to
wear a false oath before a notary, but
did not hold it to be perjury.

WILL OIL SEVERAL MILLS.
Llnnton Road Is to Be Greatly Im
proved Shortly.
At a meeting of the board of directors
of the Portland Automobile Club, held
yesterday afternoon at the Commercial
Club, it was decided to oil from tlx to
seven miles of the Linnton road, com
mencing at the American Inn. Sufficient
funds have been raised by subscription
to complete the first three miles of the

completed inside of two weeks. It is
hoped, and an effort will be made, by the
members of the club and others Interest
ed in good roads, to raise money enough
during the two weeks to be able to ex
tend the work and proceed at once to
the completion of the six miles under
taken. The county government has undertaken
to improve the Llnnton road for 2S miles
from Portland, and In a short time will
have one of the finest, if not the finest,
drives in the entire state completed there.
The bad stretch of road between the sir
and seven-mile posts Is being Improved
and will be completed by Wednesday, so
that the road will be In good shape for
driving by that time
When the first six or sevjen miles of the
road have been oiled, as contemplated by
the Automobile Club, it will connect with
the newly-oiled reach of Twentieth street
and will make one of the most enjoyable
drives In the vicinity of Portland.

F. K1LE0RE IS OUT
Is Ordered Dismissed From
Police Force.
NELSON MS COMMENDED
Executive Committee Finds That Ho
Was Justified in "Using Strong
Language to a-"Street-Car
Motorman.
At the meeting of the police committee
of the Executive Board yesterday the
charges of unbecoming conduct preferred
against Patrolman Ole Nelson by N.
Buntln, a street railway car conductor,
were Ignored. Policeman F. Kllgore was
dismissed from the department upon a
charge of consorting with a woman of
bad repute at the Forestry Inn, while
John H. Price, driver of a night natrol
wagon, was suspended upon complaint of
Sergeant Thomas Taylor and Night Jailer
Mike Llllls.
The ' testimony In the Nelson case In
dicated that about 11 o'clock on the night
of July 13, while car ICS. of the Sixteenth
street line, was proceeding westward
along Washington, it was signaled at
Fifth street by several elderly ladles,
who. In attempting to board the car,
were dragged quite a distance by Its sud
denly starting up.
At this Juncture Policeman Nelson
Jumped on the front of the car and rather
excitedly ordered the motorman to stOD
the car. At the same time Detective
Vaughn, who saw the plight of things.
rustied from the edge of the sidewalk
and assisted the ladles aboard, thereby
undoubtedly avoiding a serious accident in
conjunction with the Quick action of
Nelson. The latter admitted that he may
have used somewhat rougher language
than usual, but he stated that the neces
sity of the occasion demanded It. and
some of the members of the committee. In
agreeing with him. were of the opinion
that he could have employed even harsher
language with good grace under the cir
cumstances. Among other terms that Nelson was
accused of employing was the expres
sion, ton are handling these passen
gers as if you were herding hogs on a
iarra, and the committee felt that the
facts Justified the use of this language.
Patrolman Kllgore was. before the
committee upon charges of Rev. G. V.
Hyder, a Baptist minister, of Soures,
North Dakota, who accused the officer
of scandalous conduct in connection
with a woman named Davis, who- was
employed about the Inn as a chamber
maid.
Kllgore testified before the commit
tee that he visited the Davis woman In
her room between 11:30 and T2 P. M..
after reporting off duty. In relation to
threats that had been made against
her by some man from California. In
cidentally, it was shown, according to
a statement of Police Sergeant Slover.
who had Investigated the subject, that
Kllgore was addicted to the habit of
paying fast and loose with feminine
hearts, and. while already a married
man. had a few years ago planned to
marry a young girl on the East Side,
the -arrangements progressing to such
an extent. In fact, that the wedding
feast had been prepared, and every
thing was in shape for the ceremony
except the bridegroom, who failed to
appear.
. The Police Commissioners came to
the conclusion that the Baptist preach
er told the truth, and that Kllgore had
testified falsely, hence the charges
were sustained and the officer dis
missed. Under the rules of the char
ter, he still has the right of appeal to
the Civil Service Commission, and
within ten days may demand an In

SEED BEDS OF' DISEASE
Insufficient Food and Clothing in
British Cities.
. North American Review.
S,lr John E. Gorst, M. P., gives an ap
palling account of the physical condition
of a large proportion of the population
of Great Britain. 'The alarm wau given
some time ago by the military authori
ties, who found that the staAdard of re
cruits was falling in a marked degree.
It was deemed advisable to make ar
rangements for the Instruction of school
children In physical exercises, and a royal
commission was appointed to consider the
best method jpl doing so. The commis
sion found that there was no satisfactory
evidence as to the physical condition of
school-children, and concluded that they
could give no advice as to exercises until
that condition was ascertained. An exam
ination of the children In certain typical
schools was. therefore. Instituted, and
the results were of the most discouraging
description. The investigation shows that
In the poorer districts of Great Britain
and Ireland, a large proportion of the
children are growing up so deteriorated
by starvation and from Insufficient or Im
proper food that they will be the seed
bed of disease and crime, and must re
main as long as they live a burden on
society. It appears that the British race
is being propagated by the less fit part
of it. Sir John Gorst enters Into a
discussion of some of the causes that tend
to produce deterioration and the pallia
tives and remedies that should be em
ployed by the community. He says:
"For the neglect of the physical condi
tion of the poor and their children, the
rich Indeed pay a terrible penalty. The
scourge of consumption" causes in the
United Kingdom one death in eight, and
half the deaths which take place between
the ages of 25 and 35. This disease, we
are Informed by medical authority, need
not exist. It Is bred amongst the Ill
nourished children of the poor. That Is
the nursery of Its evil growth. In all
the schools of our slum districts young
children could be found. If there were
medical Inspection, in numbers that would
astonish the contented optimist, already
infected with the malady; unsuspected
by parents or teachers, they are already
spreadlng amongst their comrades a dis
ease which is curable even In their own
bodies If early detected and early treated.'
Contagion spreads, seizes upon the chil
dren and youth of the rich, and takes
Its toll of life as above stated. Detection
by Inspection, and cure at a small ex
pense, of Incipient consumption amongst
destitute children would save many a
young and promising life amongst the
ricn. and spare many a father and
mother tho anguish of the loss of the
dearest and most valued of their chil
dren. It Is the same with the infec
tious diseases of childhood."
A Bluejacket Turned Mule.
New York Times.
Admiral DIcklns during the sham bom
bardment of Fort Monroe, smiled one
morning as a sailor staggered 'past him
with a bale of Kay on his back.
"He makes me think." said the Ad
miral, "of another sailor, a British one,
whom I saw one day at Gibraltar.
"He. too, had a load of hay and was
tolling with it up from the little fishing
village that lies' at the foot of the great
rock. I talked with him a little while
and; as we parted. I said:
" '"yho are you, my man? What Job do
you hold here?"
" 'Well.' the sailor answered, as he took
up the hay again. l used to consider my
self a British bluejacket, but-I'm dashed
if I don't begin to think I'm a commissary
mule. "

aad Stroar after Tears of Mlery
Dae to Irregular Function.
The fact that one woman is bright
eyed, rosy-cheeked, strong and cheerful,
while another is pale, weak and de
pressed, is duo more often, than other
wise to the regularity in the one case
and the irregularity in the other of the
functions that are peculiar to the sex.
When these are disturbed everything
goes wrong; pain and discomfort are
felt all over the body; the sensations are
often terrifying.
" For four years." said Mrs. Davis re
cently, "I suffered indescribable misery
from sick headache every month, ac
companied by fainting spells, shortness
of breath and severe pain in my left side.
There were also bearing-down pains, at
times so acute that I could not stand up,
and my head was full of ringing sounds.
It seemed as if everything was going to
hit me in the eyes. I was compelled to
lie dawn with closed eyes for hours to
get a little relief. When I attempted to
arise everything would whirl around aud
it would grow so dark that I. could
scarcely see any object,"
" Couldn't your doctor help you?"
"Five doctors in all treated me, but I
got no lasting benefit. Besides I used a
lot of advertised remedies. The only
medicine, however, that had the de
sired effect was Dr. Williams' Pink Pillj
and they are truly a godsend to women.
I did not have much faith in them when
I began to take them. I found myself,
however, so much better after-using two
boxes that I began to believe in them.
Thoy checked right away the decline
into which I was going. My troubles
kept lessening and finally disappeared
altogether."
" How long did it take for a care ?"
"After I had used several boxes my
health was all right. I had taken on
flesh and was strong and hearty. I feel
today in spirits more like a girl of ax
teen than a woman of my years."
Mrs. C. H. Davis' address is Carmel,
Maine, B. F. D., No. 2. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are confidently offered tg
women for the cure of ausemia, chloro
sis, painful aud irregular periods, and
all forms of weakness. They are sold
by every druggist.
