ing 'the meeting of the two sovereigns de
clares that their conferences have served
further to strengthen . the . traditional
friendly relations between them and that
the meeting has given proof of good un
derstanding today between the leading
statesmen of the two countries. Every
question of an International character
has been the subject of thorough discus
sion between the two Emperors, with the
result that their views held thereon have
been found to be in absolute accord.
The occurrences in Morocco are not
likely to cause any misunderstanding af

the situation made by M. Pichon. . the
Foreign Jkllnlster of France, to Prince von
Radolln, the German Ambassador to
France, and the determination of all the
signatories to carry out the terms of the
Algeciras Convention.

source that neither the alliances of
Russia and Germany nor the relations of
those powers with other powers have
been affected as a result of the meeting,

CHICAGO, Aug. S. A special .dispatch

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

As a result of investigations Into Asiat

the Japanese commissioners are mak

position to approach the settlement of
the grave exclusion question with a
better appreciation of each other's ne

Meeting of Emperor May Prevent

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.

ABERDEEN, Wash.. Aug. 5. (Special.)
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. Buchanan was
buried at Winona at 2 o'clock this after
noon. He was a member of the Modern
Woodmen of America. He leaves a widow

GERMAN BATTLESHIP DECTSCKLAND.'
the war" talk In Japan is confined to the
politicians of the Progressive party, who
are epposed to the present ministry. 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.
