JAPAN DENIES ANNEXATION Question of Guano nights on Group of Reefs WIU Be Settled by diplomats In rbltra tton Session. TOKIO, March 23. Special dispatch es received by Japanese papers from Hongkong and Peking Indicate that the effort which is .being made at Canton to again inflame the Chinese against the Japanese and bring about a renewal of the boycott on Japanese Roods, because of the alleged occupa tion of Pratas Island by Japanese guano dealers, is apparently a move ment on the part of some unknown propagandists to keep ill feeling be tween Japan and China stirred up in the hope of eventually causing a breach of the friendly relations be tween the two countries. Pratas Island, which lies between Hongkong and the Philippine group. Is 60 miles outside of the boundary line of the Philippine Archipelago, and Is considered a delicate bit of territory, unclaimed by any nation. Old Report Reviewed. A report was circulated in 1908 that Jt had been occupied by the Japanese Government, and would be used as a Jiavai has. At that time the rumor was branded as false and entirely un founded hy the Japanese. This denial Is officially repeated by government cuiciais. ana it is further declared that the Japanese Government has never laid ny claim whatever to the sea-encircled cluster of reefs. Many years ago Japanese dealers landed on Pratas Island and com menced the collection of guano, which was found in great quantity. Numer ous sheds for the housing of workers and supplies were constructed, and a ship was chartered to carry the guano to the best markets that could be found. This is declared to be the ex tent of the so-called Japanese occupa tion. Japan Has Xo Claim. Speaking of the reports from China, a high government official said today: "Japan has never entertained the idea of including Pratas Island in Japanese domain. If China produces proof of ownership, Japan will not hesitate to recognize her rights. The island has hitherto been neglected, and it may be expected that Japanese subjects who have Innocently started enterprises there will receive due protection In tliolr rights at the hands of the Chi nese Government.

Rev. Mr. KnodeU, of the -Anti-Saloon League, thought the league would join in the fight for a straight prohibitionist ticket. Mr. Amos believed the league and the party were working for the same end along different lines. "We are like the two blades of a pair of scissors," said he using Mills' classical illustration of the effect of capital and labor, but without acknowledgment. "There appears to be friction. In reality it is the saloonman who will feel the friction." During some informal discussion, the name of F. McKercher was prominently mentioned as a candidate for Mayor of Portland on the Prohibition ticket next June. No definite action was taken look ing to an organization. That was left for future meetings. PAL0USE MEN INTERESTED Demonstration Train Meets Large Crowds In Wheat Belt. COLFAX. Wash. March 22. (SDe- cial.) The farm demonstration train over the O.
