paper read by Mr. Penfield, who declared
that a Government should never Invoke
force in order to secure Justice to its
citizens abroadwhich would lead to utter
injustice and chaos at home. "The Drago
doctrine," he said, "has now been made
use of as a convenient substitute for
the threadbare Monroe doctrine, which
has ceased to serve the purposes of those
who would pervert and use it as a

Killed Companion in Quarrel Over
Uayes-Tildcn Contest Will Be
Given. Shelter by Former
Fellow Prisoner.
DES MOINES. Ia.. April 19. (Special.)
Jasper Mason. 67 years old. walked out
of Anamosa Penitentiary a free man to
night, after 31 years' imprisonment, to
begin life anew in a new world. All his
relatives are dead and the friends of his
youth are scattered, so that he will have
to depend on the charity of a former
fellow convict for a home until he can
make a place for himself.
The Iowa thAt Mason knew before he
was sent to prison was a state of track
less prairies. The Iowa he will now get
acquainted with is a state of well-tilled
farms and thriving cities of whirring
trolley cars and speeding railroad trains.
Telephones, electric lights, and, in fact,
almost all modern necessities, have come
into use since the old convict began his
sentence.
In 1S76 Mason and a friend. J. R. Woods,
were traveling through Iowa and camped
south of Desoto, Dallas County, for a
night. There they got Into a quarrel over.
tne Hayes-Tilden political controversy,
then at its height, and Woods assailed
Mason, who shot his companion. Woods
died In, a few days and Mason was given
a -life sentence for murder. Under the
Iowa law as it then stood, he was not
able to go on the stand In bis own de
fense, and there were no eye witnesses
to the murder. He served for 25 years in
the prison at Fort Madison and was
transferred to Anamosa.
Mason will go to Kimball, a D., where
lie will make his home temporarily with
tils convict friend. Some years ago this
friend, who was an Inmate of Anamosa
Prison, told Mason that whenever, if ever,
he was released, a home with him would
be provided.
REAL JAPANESE QUESTION
(Continued from First Page.)
Imaginative. There was never even friction
between the two jrovernmenls. The question
wau: What ntate of feeling would be creat
ed between the great body of the people of
the United States and the great body of
the people of Japan as a result of the treat
ment given to the Japanese In this country?
What was to bo the . effect upon that
proud, sensitive, highly clvillxed people
arroES the PaetUc, of the discourtesy, ln
nult. Imputations of Inferiority and abuse
aimed at them In the columns of American
nwKpapera and from the platforms of
American public meetings? What would
be the effect upon our own people of the
responses that natural resentment for such'
treatment would elicit from the Japanese?
Under a treaty, which bore the signa
ture of Matthew Calbralth Perry, we in
troduced Japan to the world of western
civilization. We had always been proud
of her wonderful development proud of the
genius of the race that In a single genera
tion adapted an ancient feudal system of
the Far Enst to the most advanced stand
ards of modern Europe and America. The
friendship between the two nations bad
been peculiar and close. Was the declara
tion of that treaty to be set aside ? At
Kurlhama, In Japan, stands a monument to
Commodore Perry, raised by the Japanese
tn grateful appreciation, upon the- site
where he landed and opened negotiations
for the treaty. Was that monument hence
forth to represent dislike and resentment ?
"Were the two peoples to face each other
across the Pacific in future years with an
gry and resentful feelings? All this waa
Inevitable If the process which seemed to
have begun was to continue, and the Gov
ernment of the United States looked with
the greatest solicitude upon the possibility
that the process might continue.
People iov Make AYars.
It la hard for democracy to learn the re
sponsibilities of its power; but the people
now, not governments, make friendship or
dislike, sympathy or discord, peace or war,
between nations. In this modern day,
through the columns of the myriad press
and messages flashing over countless wires,
multltudo calls to multitude across bound
aries and oceans in courtesy or Insult, in
amity or In dellance. Foreign offices and
ambassadors and ministers no longer keep
. or break the peace, but the conduct of each
people toward every other. The people who
permit themselves to treat the people of
other countries with discourtesy and tnsuit
arc surely sowing the wind to reap the
w hirlw iud, for a world of sullen and re
vengeful hatred can never be a world of
pen-e. Against such a feeling treaties are
wast paper and diplomacy the empty rou
tine of Idle form. The great question which
overshadowed nil discussion of the treaty
of 1SU4 w as the question: Are the peopie
of the United States about to break friend
ship wiih the people of Japan? That ques
tion, I believe, has been happily answered
In the negative.
Might Blockade England.
Kear-Admiral Stockton, of the United
States Navy, resented what he termed a
'charge of piracy," made by Everett P.
wheeler of New York, who, in an ad
dress, criticized the conduct of American
naval officers In capturing a shipload of
noncombatants In the siege of Santiago
during the Spanish-American War. The
Admiral made a strong defense " of his
brother officers.
Papers were read by Admiral Stockton,
Charles C. Hyde, professor of interna
tional law in Northwestern University
Chiuygo, and Everett P. Wheeler, on the
question, "Would immunity from capture

of Boston, and other speakers, took the
position that some agreement on this
question should be reached at the next
conference at The Hague.

"Is Contraband of War Unneutral and

and Municipal Law?" was the subject of
a paper read by Kear-Admiral George
B. Davis, Judge advocate-General of the
United States Army, which was followed
by a general discussion, in which
number of delegates participated.
General . Davis said that "England,
owing to her Insular situation, was the
one state which might be really effec
tively blockaded. The beneficent opera
tion of the declaration of Parle has done
much to mitigate the rigor of the rights
of maritime search and capture, and the
practice of belligerents In refraining from
exercising their right in localities dis
tant from the theater of the belligerents
activity has done still more to bring Into
being such Immunity from capture and

commerce In time of war. It Is In this
direction that we must seek for the Im
munity of neutral commerce from the

bridges will be $3,000,000.

P. O'Brien, general manager of the
Harriman lines in the Northwest, last
night. . "It seems to be based on the an

was said $1,000,000 would be spent In

velt is being Investigated by the United
States Secret Service.
Information which led to the investi
gation was given to the officers by Chief
of Police Adams a tew days ago. Just be
fore he shot and killed himself. The
Chief told the Secret Service officials that
he obtained his information from Jan
Bartula, who recently came here from
Audenried, Pa., and who claims to be a
member of the band. He said they had
gone back on him, and It was with a de
sire to be revenged on them that he ex
posed the plot. He gave Adams the
names of several persons who he said
were implicated in the plot, and further
said that Clgosz, who assassinated
President McKlnley, had been a member
of the band.
Chief Flynn, of the New York district
of the United States Secret Service, has
had several men at work upon the case
ever since the information was given him
by Chief Adams. They have Interviewed
Bartula, and he told them practically the
same story.

ic Coal Supply Is Low and
Many Trains Stop.
VANCOUVER, B. C. April 19.-Practi-eally
all the coal mines In Eastern Brit
ish Columbia and Alberta are closed. It
was rumored this morning that Presi
dent Mitchell, of the United Mineworkers,
had Instructed Vice-President Sherman to
order the men to resume work, but Mr.
Sherman denied this. Then G. G. S. Lind
say, manager of the Crow's Nest Coal
Company, gave out a copy of a dispatch
he had received from Mr. Mitchell, who
said definitely that he had ordered Mr.
Sherman to get the men back to work.
The men have Quit work, but not defl
nltely gone on a strike, so that they may
not be prosecuted under a new Dominion
government law.
Evade New Labor Law.
Mr. Sherman and Mr. Patterson, his
assistant, both state that tne men are
pressing them to issue a strike order, no
doubt on account of the ambiguous posi
tion they occupy in thus quitting work
without any definite arrangements. There
Is much doubt about the action in quit
ting work without calling it a strike, se
cretly ordered, and all falling into line,
being a strategic move to evade viola
tion ot the clauses of the act. Mr. Sher
man says he will not pay strike allow
ance wage, because he can get around
tha by paying a working allowance.
It looks as though the operators had
broken the law in posting notices of a
reduction pending tne dispute.
Coal Supply Very Low.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Company
t TVrnle has only lsu tons ot coai on
hand, and that was brought In from
Frank, which worked yesterday.
Mr. Sherman flatly contradicts the state
ment that be is trying to form an lnde-
Sendent Canadian Miners' Union not un
er the control of the American associa
tion. He says the trend of miners' opin
ion Is that' way, but no definite action
has been taken.
The supply of slack for coke ovens will
not likely last longer than today, and the
supply for the smelters will drop off, even
if the Canadian Pacific Railway has
enough coal to warrant the moving of
It. which Is douotiui.
The Canadian Pacific Railway has Is

OTTAWA, Ont., April 19. The Labor
Department has received word that Presi
dent Mitchell and Vice-President Lewis,
of the United Mineworkers, have tele
graphed the men at Fernie, B. C, and
the other Western mines, urging them to
return to work. Vice-President Lewis
has started from Indianapolis to the
scene, and an Interview has been ar
ranged between him and the operators on
Tuesday next.
The new act requires 30 days' no
tice to be posted of any cnange in
conditions. One or two mines, in com
pliance therewith, posted a notice of a
reduction. The miners did not under
stand that this was in accordance with
the provisions of the act and declared
they would work elsewhere.

WINNIPEG, Man., April 19. Reports

VANCOUVER, B. C, April 19. An
awful condition of affairs exists on the
C. P. R. on account of the coal strike.
Orders were given this morning that noth

freight should run over the lines or on

more than two or three days.
