A special .dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: Jipan and the United States propose to demonstrate to each other and to the world their mutual desire to maintain close and friendly relations. The dem onstration is to take the form of nego tiations for the removal of all differ ences which have arisen between them. As a result of investigations Into Asiat ic immigration conultions which Secre tary of Commerce and Labor Straus and the Japanese commissioners are mak ing, the two governments will be in a position to approach the settlement of the grave exclusion question with a better appreciation of each other's ne cessities and embarrassments. The Japanese Ambassador, Viscount Aokl, has given the administration to understand that his government is op posed, to pelagic sealing, which means it does not countenance in any way the poaching operations of Japanese seal; ers, nor will it tolerate a like operation In Japanese waters by American seal ers. Beyond these two matters there are no differences of any material con sequence to be adjusted. The question which Is most difficult ILL NOT GIVE UP Vardaman Refuses to Concede Williams' Success".

SALOONS WILL NOT SETTLE FIGHT ON IX EARNEST IN HOQTJIAM. : ' AFFECTS DEAL WITH BRITAIN Meeting of Emperor May Prevent ' Settlement With Russia. ST.' " PETERSBURG. Aug. " o.-Publlc opinion here attaches importance to the Swinemunde meeting only as affecting the progress of .the Anglo-Russian negotia tions, which will close soon. The choice of the time for fhe Interview, just pre ceding the conclusion of the Anglo-Russian accord. Is taken as a demonstration of the fact that the traditional friendship of the Russian and German courts re mains intact and has not been affected by the newer friendships. The present state of the Anglo-Russian negotiations' Is such that Germany could easily effect the ultimate issue. During the last two years the Russian and Brit ish governments have taken up success ively all the questions affecting their in terests, principally in the near and mid dle. East, and. while the utmost frank ness has been displayed -on both sides, coupled with evident willingness to receive a common ground for agreement, yet up to the present the whole scheme Is still In process of negotiation and a great deal depends upon the deliberations of the next few weeks. The understanding may be expanded Into a political agreement, simi lar to the Anglo-French entente, and it may be contracted into a settlement of local questions. In either case the nego tiations have served to bring the two countries closer together than they have been for a century; t The Russian liberal press, whose sym pathies naturally favor Russia's adher fnce to the Anglo-French group, ventures the opinion that the meeting of the Em perors at Swinemunde will not exercise ny appreciable effect on foreign affairs. The Russ. however, regrets that the in terview preceded the conclusion of the Russian-British agreement. The Rech. llscussing the Novoe Vremya's suggestion :hat Russia use her good offices to re nstat Germany In the confidence of the Western powers, questions whether Rus lian interests would be benefited by such i course of action.

County and city officials were busy to day issuing warrants at the instance of the Rev. E. L. Benedic?, of Hpquiam, for the arrest of all persons who kept their piaces of business open Sunday. There were about 40 persons named and the warrants were not ready tonight and went over. Late this afternoon' there was an offer of compromise with the saloon-keepers, Benedict, it is said, agree ing to withdraw the complaints if the saloon men would close, other places of business not to be disturbed. Tonight the saloon men met and refused to compro mise, so the war is on in earnest. Mayor France, In a statement tonight, says it is not so much a question of morality with Mr. Benedict as it is notori ety seeking. Threats have been made against the person of Benedict by the so called vicious element. RAILROAD COMPANY CARELESS Coroner's Jury in Winona Explosion Blames the O. R. & N. ' COLFAX, Wash., Aug. 5. The jury im paneled by Coroner D. B. Crawford to hold an Inquest 'over the body of Roseoe Buchanan, the car inspector who lost his life in the dynamite explosion . at the Winona depot, was out 20 minutes and re turned the following verdict: ?- "We find that Rosco E. Buchanan, a car inspector for. the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company, met death August 3, about 1 A. M. Death caused by nn - ex plosion of dynamite stored in the coal house of the Oregon Railway & Naviga tion Company at Winona. Whitman Coun ty.. State of Washington. "We find the explosion due to the fact of said confpany storing dynamite In an unprotected place " Judge E. K. Hanna, of Colfax,, who conducted the examination, elicited from Daniel Branch, an employe of the railway company, who was a witness, that, ha knew there were 13 boxes of giant powder, with caps and fuse, aggregating 630 pounds in weight, stored in the coalhouse. The explosives had been Btored' there about a month:' Superintendent . William Gleasbn and other employes of the company denied this fact, alleging that the coalhouse con tained only a 50-gallon tank of gasoline. This did not explode, being about 30 feet from where the powder was. ignited. It waa further alleged by the officials that the boxes In the coalhouse contained nuts: Many damage suits are threatened on ac count of the explosion. The Whitman County village has . the appearance of a town visited' by a cy clone since the horrible fire and explosion. All residents are calmed and the Injured are being well cared for.

He continued: . : . "There is no talk of war with this country among the great mass of the people nor among the government offi cials, and I believe the whole thing is confined to a political move on the part of a small coterie of Japanese politicians. Any reference to the government being forced to assume an inimical attitude to ward this country by the power of popu lar opinion is sheer nonsense. While Japan has a National Diet, the suffrage Is confined to about 2 per cent of the entire population, the other being dis franchised by lack of property qualifica tions. With 98 per cent of the people having no vote, their opinion has little weight in Shaping the policy of the gov ernment. . "The present ministry is very friendly with the United States and. the party out of power the Progressives, as they are called Is simply agitating war with this country In order to embarrass the government and create an Issue for the coming election. I think the whole thing has no significance outside of tire phase offered by Japanese politics.- The Pro gressives have several newspapers, cor responding to the Jingoes in this country, and they of course publish inflammatory editorials, with the object of working up a feeling in support of their cause. None of these newspapers have much standing with the better class of Japanese. "These organs agitate war In spite of the fact that they know Japan is finan cially unable to make war. The national debt is so heavy that it is impossible .for the government to borrow money, re gardless of the quality of the securities of settlement Is that of immigration. Although a delegation of business men from California came to Washington to urge the President . to take action toward lowering the bars against Asiatic immigration, there is no doubt such an action is Impossible at the present time. Eventua.y, in the judg ment of the President, all the Immigra tion restrictions will be removed. As he pointed out In conversation with the Japanese, 50 years ago the latter re fused to admit Americans into their country. Today Americans do not' ad mit Japanese. Fifty years hence the objection of the United States to the Japanese coming here will have disap peared and, moreover, the density of population will be such that -the Asiat ics will find sharper competition than they do now and will not care to como to this country.
