OYSTER BAT, N. T-. July 7. The sig
nificance of Rear-Admiral Brownson'i
addition to the somewhat meager Infor
mation which has come from President
Roosevelt regarding the contemplated
two-ocean maneuvers of the Atlantic bat
tleship fleet Is regarded here as having;
been overlooked In the comment, expert
and otherwise, which has since been in
dulged In on both continents.
Admiral Brownson came to Oyster Bay
Friday to take lunch with the President,
professing entire ignorance of the ma
neuver plans. When he left Sagamore
Hill to take the train for Washington,
the Admiral had one thought which he
wished emphasized that It was desirable
and important to demonstrate to the
world how quickly the American Navy
' could transfer its fighting strength from
one ocean to the other. This was dis
tinctly an addition to the President's
previous statement issued through Secre
tary Loeb, wherein the object of the ma
neuvers was said to be an exercise move
ment for the benefit of the Navy, to per
fect Its training in fleet exercise on an
extended scale, the purpose and effect of
the plan being for the benefit of the
Navy alone.
Best Guarantee of Peace.
What came from President Roosevelt
through Admiral Brownson is decidedly
a different and much broader design.
President Roosevelt has been consistent
In advocating a large-Navy as the strona
est guarantee of , peace . between the.
United States and all foreign powers.
Heretofore a large Navy has been reck
oned solely from the point of view of
the number of ships, their tonnage, ar
mor, guns and fighting capacity. With
thia idea the American Navy has grown
steadily, ship by ship.
To the somewhat uninteresting array
of ships and tonnage. President Roose
velt now proposes to give the world a
somewhat startling demonstration of
what the American Navy Is capable of
doing to protect either or both of the
extended shores of the United States.
Admiral Brownson said: "There is no
time like the present for such a demon
stratlon," a time when the United States
is at peace with every nation.
Mill Return to the Atlantic.
In everything that has come from the
President regarding the movement. It has
been indicated that the fleet, wherever
It may go, is to be brought back to the
- Atlantic, and that the return is to be
as great a demonstration of speed as the
outward Journey.
While It is asserted with all possible
emphasis that there is no foundation for
apprehension, either immediate of future,
between the United States and Japan, the
proposed demonstration with this fleet
can be looked upon in no other light than
that President Roosevelt intends to use
the American Navy for exactly that pur.
pose for which he has advocated its aug
mentation a guarantee of international
peace.
It was stated here today that Ambas
sador O'Brien, who has been Invited to
Sagamore Hill the latter part of the pres
ent week, will not be able to confer with
the President before going to' his new
post lnToklo. The ambassador finds It
necessaft-y to devote some time to his
personal affairs in Michigan, and will not
find It convenient to return to the East
before departing by the way of San Fran
cisco for Japan. It was remarked that
SHOW
ter was no occasion tor a conference
between the President and Ambassador
O'Brien other than the formality of offi
cial etiquette.
INOPPORTUNE SAY JAPANESE
Sending of Fleet to Pacific Will Aid
In Impairing Friendship.
tdttto. Julv 7. Confirmation of the
report that a powerful battleship
squadron would be sent to the Pacific
Coast has been generally received with
calmness, though there Is some sur
prise in certain quarters well versed
in diplomatic niceties.
It Is said that the sudden change of
programme In the case of the Japanese
training squadron last January.wnen it
was first intended that Its voyage
should include San Francisco and other
Pacific Coast cities, was evidently in
deference to the wishes of the Wash
ington Government, made known to
the Tokio authorities in an Indirect
but unmistakable manner. The change
of route was decided upon only a
couple of days before the squadron
sailed. It was - thought then that
Japan acted wlrely in avoiding a
course which -might have proved in-
Baron G. V. Tsmumoto, Who Will
Beach Hew York Today to Study
aval Improvements.
Jurious when a strong anti-Japanese
sentiment - was prevailing in San
Francisco.
Though officially stated that the
despatch of the battleship fleet to the
Pad flu Is not directed toward Japan, lC
is felt here that It is most inopportune
when an attempt is evidently going
on to impair the traditional friendship
between Japan and the United States.
Though the slightest apprehension Is
not entertained here it is thought it
would be better to defer at this mo
ment anything that would be open to
the slightest suspicion of provocation,
especially when a portion of the Ameri
can public Is thought to be over sen
sitive over the present state of the
relationship of Japan and the United
States, brought about by prejudice
against the Japanese in a section of
the latter's dominion.
TROUBLE WILL BE ADJUSTED
France Believes It Trouble Ensues
Japan Will Be Aggressor.
PARIS, July 7. President Roosevelt's
decision to dispatch a fleet of warships
to the Pacific has led the more sensa
tional papers in France to Jump at the
conclusion that the situation Is more
delicate than appears on the surface.
This view, however. Is absolutely repu
diated in responsible circles, where the
utmost confidence is expressed that ex
isting or future differences between the
United States and Japan will be amica
bly adjusted.
Nevertheless, the possibility of compli
cations was foreseen when France, two
months ago, in the spirit of friendship,
tendered her good offices with a view to
having Japan and the United States con
clude an- arbitration covering all ques
tions relating to the Pacific.
In military circles, where the situation
is regarded from a different standpoint,
the dispatch of battleships Js considered
an elementary measure of prudence, on
the ground that strategically it will pro
tect the United States against being
caught napping, and diplomatically it
will force Japan's hand. If that nation
harbors aggressive designs.
A significant feature of the French
comment is that the possibility of trouble
occurring Is considered only .from . the
side of Japan. The Boleil regards the
San Francisco Incident as a mere 'cloak
to. the real Issue, which, it thinks., may
be traced to the determination of Ja
pan to enforce her commercial suprema
cy In China and the Pacific.
"For Japan, now or never," It adds.
"In ten years, when the American fleet's
predominance is unchallengeable and
the Panama Canal has been completed,
it will be too late."
HAS ANOTHER THXK COMING
Japanese Admiral Says American
Marines Would Desert.
TOKIO, July 7. The Hochi this morn
ing prints an interview with Admiral
Sakamoto, in which the Admiral is
quoted as follows:
"Should hostilities break out between
Japan and America, the result would be
indecisive, owing to a want of proper
bases of operations. Such bases as exist
are too distant for practical purposes.
Even the nearest bases, namely, the Pes
cadores, Cavlte and Manila, are at a dis
tance of 600 miles from one another.
Even if the Washington Government
should decide on a war. It is doubtful if
the Americans serving in the Navy are
sufficiently patriotic to fight.
"American naval officers are brilliant
figures at balls and social gatherings, but
they are very deficient in professional
training and practice. It is too much to
expect a burning patriotism In the Amer
ican naval service In case of war with
Japan. It is very likely that most of the
crews would desert and leave the ships."
INTEREST IS KEEN IN EUROPE
England Is Embarrassed by Anti
Japanese Laws in Colonies.
LONDON. July 7. The political tension
between the United States and Japan Is
exciting the keenest Interest among all
the European diplomatists. None of
them, however, believe that it will reach
the stage of warfare. Because
the heavy burden of debt Japan
is carrying as a result of her fail
ure to obtain Indemnity from Russia
forbids her embarking on a similar cost

CHICAGO. July 7. (Special.) Standard
Oil is to have one more chance In court.
Judge Landls having decided to permit
Its attorneys to make good their claim
yesterday that they could prove it had
never received rebates from any of the
railroads. It is not altogether certain,
however, that advantage will be taken
of this opportunity. The attorneys will
hold a conference early tomorrow morn
ing and decide what course they will
pursue.
It may be decided to let the entire
matter rest as It did with the adjourn
ment of court Saturday night and allow
Judge Landls to assess the fine he
deems reasonable on the showing at
hand. It Is In his province to lay a pen
alty exceeding $25,000,000, but there Is not
the slightest indication of how heavily
he will bear down upon the Octopus.
Standard Oil attorneys pooh-pooh the
theory based upon the evidence of Sat
urday that the Standard is open to crim
inal prosecution.
Archbold, Felton . and other big men
of the New Jersey corporation are still
In the city, which Is taken as an indica
tion that the Standard will offer fresh
testimony tomorrow calculated to
smooth the ruffled feathers of outraged
Justice. v
There Is also a possibility' that' the
Standard attorneys will not start any
thing new that win cause the case to
drag or go over until October. Judge
Landls desires to close his court and
go to Wisconsin for the Summer and
has made his arrangements to depart
this week. It is thought the Standard
attorneys were Just as anxious as the
court to have the entire matter disposed
of at this session.
OIL KING RETURNS . HOME
Too Tired to Attend Church He Will
Play Game of Golf Today.
CLEVELAND, July 7. Speclal.) John
D. Rockefeller returned to Cleveland
from his lively Chicago experiences at
7 o'clock this morning, apparently tired
and anxious for rest. He denied himself
to all callers during the day. For the
first time In years he failed to attend
service at Euclid-avenue Church, where
he invariably worships. The church was
crowded with his friends, who had hoped
to meet him. After breakfast, Mr.
Rockefeller took a long walk through
the woods on his estate. . Miss Adams,
his private stenographer, was not at
Forest Hill during the day, and the mag

When his delayed train arrived at the
depot Mr. Rockefeller was almost stran
gled by smoke and gases. Emerging
from his car, he placed his handkerchief
to his nose and made an undignified
rush for open air. He entered into a
lengthy discourse upon the wretched
ventilation at the station, and said that
Cleveland was too Important a center
to endure such a nuisance.
Mr. Rockefeller declined to discuss his
Chicago visit in any form, although he
admitted he had enjoyed the trip.

BOISEJ, Idaho, July 7. (Special.) To
morrow the reading of the depositions
secured at San Francisco and bearing on
the attempt to kill F. W. Bradley with a
dynamite bomb will be read before any
more witnesses are put on in the Hay
wood case. .
While no official statement has been
given out respecting the deposition made
by Mr. Bradley, it is the understanding
It is very favorable to the state. Ac
cording to apparently reliable informa
tion, Mr. Bradley claims there were two
explosions, one of which flashed in front
and brought a portion of the building
down about him and the other following
which hoisted him into the street. He
further states that shreds from the door
mat were driven Into his face. It will be
recalled that Orchard stated he threw
the mat over the bomb when he had
placed the infernal machine. Mr. Bradley
made a deposition In the suit of the
owner of the building against the gas
company that It was a gas explosion as
his deposition Is understood to show, and
he adheres to the theory there was an
explosion of gas but that it followed
closely upon the other.
Spokane Attorney Sees Darrow.
Frank C. Robertson, of the former firm
of Robertson, Rosenhaupt & Miller, of
Spokane, arrived this evening and was
soon afterward closeted with Clarence
Darrow. That firm was for many years
attorney for the Western Federation. The
supposition is that Mr. Robertson has
come here to assist In making an ex
planatlon of the sending of Fred Miller
to . Caldwell to defend Thomas Hogan
(Harry Orchard) without his having been
sent for. The firm wired on January 8
that Mr. Miller would start the next day.
At that time the identity of Hogan bad
not been discovered, nor bad he com
municated with any one after his ar
rest, therefore, the conclusion was that
the Federation, knowing his alias, had
directed the firm to look after his de
fense.
WriU Moyer Tell All?
There have been constant rumors re
spectfng Moyer and they have Increased
lately. Within the last few days several
of the correspondents have sent out dis
patches stating he was likely to confess.
These dispatches have been sent to
papers favorable to the defense. The
latest Is that Mrs. Moyer has sought to
Induce her husband to make a clean
breast of it. So far as can be learned
that story Is well founded, it being de
clared Mrs. Moyer has urged her husband
to give testimony for the state. The story
came out through the defense, and It is
supposed Moyer advised them to that
effect.
HAYWOOD TO LAY LIKE BARE
Will Deny In To to Orchard's Story
Connecting Him With Crime.
BOISB. Idaho, July 7. The attorneys
for William D. Haywood today com
pleted details of their plans lor the final
week of the defense,, which begins with
the opening of court tomorrow morning
at 10 o clock.
Interest in the trial at this time centers
In the forthcoming appearance upon the
stand of Haywood, who. It is claimed.
has been the moving force In the West-
era Federation of Miners for the past
several years, and one of his co-defendants,
Charles H. Moyer, tho presi
dent of the miners organization. The
third defendant in the famous case,
George A. Petttbone, wHl not take the
stand, it Is said, until bis own case
comes on to be heard.
Steve Adams, whose recent trial for the
murder of a man In Northern Idaho re
sulted In a disagreement of the Jury, and
who has been variously Implicated by
Harry Orchard In many of the latter's
crimes and alleged conspiracies with the
leaders of the Western Federation, is
still in the Boise Jail, available as a wit
ness for tbe defense, but It has been
definitely decided, that he will not be
called to the stand. The prosecution
still claims W would welcome such a
move, as the appearance of Adams on
the stand might open the way for the
introduction of a portion, at least, of
Adams' repudiated confession.
Will Last Three Weeks Yet.
Viewed in the light of the closing plans
for the defense and prosecution, there
seems little hope that the trial, which
has already been in progress for two
months, can be brought to an end Inside
of three weeks. The defense will re
quire at least all of five or six days
yet. for rt Is announce! mat Jtiaywoou.
when ho takes the stand, will be pre
pared to lay bare his entire life s his-
torv. His testimony as to his connec
tion with the Western Federation of
Miners win be interspersed with much
documentary evidence, and the Introduc
tion of this and the reading of It to the
Jury will take up much time. The de
fer! so expresses Its willingness that the
cross-examination of Haywood shall
take the widest possible range. The de
fendant, it is said, will not only deny
In totp all that Orchard has said as to
his connection with any of the witness'
crimes, but will offer a perfectly plaus
ible explanation of the instances of which
the state has associated Orchard and
Haywood, notably the instance ' of Hay
wood's part in the deception of the sec
ond Mrs. Orchard as to the whereabouts
of her husband in the late Summer of
1906.
Will Explain Slmpklns Drart.
Haywood will also be called upon to
explain the sending of several drafts to
Jack Simpkins, a member of the ex
ecutive board and an organizer for the
Western Federation, whose presence in
Caldwell with Orchard Just prior to the
assassination of former Governor Steu-
nenberg, has not been denied by the de
fense. The attorneys for the federation
say that those payments were the regu
lar sums due Simpkins for his work as
an organizer and had absolutely nothing
to do with any crime or proposed crimi
nal act. The sending of J75 to Steve
Adams in Ogden, Utah, will also be a
Congressman W. C. Hawley, One of
the Speakers at the Chautauqua
at Oregon City.
subject of inquiry when Haywood takes
the stand.
The fourth Instance to which the state
attaches importance as tending to con
nect Haywood with the alleged conspir
acy as revealed by Harry Orchard upon
the witness stand, was the sending of s
message by Haywood to Sliver City,
Idaho, instructing the federation officers
there to see that attorneys were en
gaged for Orchard and to protect the in
terests of the miners' union.
Long Depositions to Be Heard.
Haywood's examination and cross-ex-
mlnation can hardly be accomplished in
less than three or four . days. Moyer
may be disposed of in one day. One day
this week will be . given for the reading
of depositions secured by the defense in
San Francisco, contradicting Orchard's
claim that he destroyed the Bradley
house with a dynamite bomb. With a
supporting affidavit from Bradley, the
defense will claim the explosion was due
to gas. Dynamite experts will be In
troduced to swear that the explosion of
such a bomb as Orchard claims to have
placed on the Bradley porch would have
created far greater havoc than was the
case, and that It would have been impos
sible for Mr. Bradley himself to have
escaped with only the few bruises he
sustained.
The state may indefinitely prolong the
trial by going into the Colorado labor
troubles on rebuttal. The defense has
opened up the field by introducing tes
timony as to the acts of the military and
mine owners at Cripple Creek and Tel-
luride.
The defense svers that the calling of
the militia at Cripple Creek was unwar
ranted and tbe deportation from those
places was nothing less than lawless out
rages upon the persons and property
of the union miners. The state undoubt
edly will Introduce testimony showing
the conditions which prevailed in these
mining districts at the time Governor
Feabody proclaimed martial law.
State Will Contradict Defense.
In addition to the Colorado matters, the
state will undertake to contradict the
statements of many of the defense's wit
nesses. This will require several days.
the attorneys interested being at a loss
themselves to say how many.
The progress made during the past week
was anything but encouraging, but this
was partly due to the holiday attending
the Fourth of July celebration, xne west
ern cities vie with one another as to the
extent of their patriotic demonstrations
and this year Boise decided to outstrip
all competitora The three days' celebra

WASHINGTON, July 7. That ths
Japanese government will not consent

Mr. Yamaoka, who left Seattle in

alliance between the Japanese of the
Pacific Coast and the Progressive par

of bringing about the overthrow of the

The draft of the new treaty submitted

Japanese Government's Position.
First That the Government of the
United States has submitted a proposal
for the enactment of a treaty which
provides for the limitation of immigra
tion. The government of Japan has re
jected the proposal and will not In Jhe
future entertain any such proposition.
Second That If the new treaty,
which is to be operated from the forty
fourth year of Meljl (1911), the govern
ment of Japan will Insist on striking
out the article 2, clause 4 (defining the
power reserved by the contracting par
ties to enact laws with regard to police
and Immigration regulations). . For
that purpose the government of Japan
shall take a most vigorous attitude.
Although the negotiations for the end
are not yet developed, we firmly be
lieve that the Government of the United
States will fight with determination to
reserve the clause.
Third That the government of
Japan contemplates sending representa
tives to the United States to investi
gate conditions on the Pacific Coast
and determine if the Japanese residents
are discriminated against.
Mr. Yamaoka, it is said, has sent
copies of Foreign Minister Hayashl a
confidential memorandum to the Jap
anese societies of San Francisco and
Beattle and to correspondents of Jap
anese newspapers In this country. Dr.

admitted that he had seen a copy of
the communication, which is being dis
tributed by Yamaoka and characterized
the attitude of Foreign Minister
Hayashl as a concession to the Pro
gressives, which have strongly opposed
the clause in the immigration bill ex
cluding coolie labor from this country.
