JAPAN D 1 STI N CTLY
THREATENS CHINA
Premier's Organ Says Terms
Offered Unacceptable
to Nippon.
PATIENCE IS EXHAUSTED
China Refuses to Ktronslder and
Japan May Abandon Effort to
Conciliate Alarmist Note
'nr In Controversy.
TOKIO. Julr 3. The Kokumln. one of
the most Influential or mo jp""
newspaper and which Is generally re
garded as the mouthpiece of Marquis
Katsura. the Premier. In matters per
taining to the government's policy. In
an article today discussed the situation
between Japan and China and strikes a
somewhat alarmist note.
It was expected, says the article, that
the withdrawal of the proposal to refer
to The Hague arbitration tribunal the
differences between China and Japan
preceded the adoption of what was hoped
would be a conciliatory policy by Chlna.
But this expectation has not been re
alised. China now proposes wholly un
acceptable terms and refuses to reply
to Japan's request for reconsideration.
The article concludes:
"The Japanese government Is exercis
ing all possible patience, but Is not car
rying its endurance to the point of senti
mentality. Unless China's mood changes
before the conclusion of the current
month. Japan will be obliged to assume
a different attitude."
ITO RECEIVED WITH HONORS
Say Corea Will Not Oppose Extinc
tion of Judicial System.
TOKIO. July . Prince Ito, until re
cently the Japanese Resident General in
Corea and regarded probably as the
greatest of Japan's elder statesmen, re
turned from Seoul today and was re
ceived with unusual honors upon hie ar
rival, by the express commands of the
Emperor.
The Imperial guard of honor occupied
the square outFlde of the Shlmbashl raH
road station when the Prince's train ar
rived. Prince Ito drove through streets
lined with troops directly to the place,
where he reported to the Emperlor.
Speaking to the associated Press rep
resentative, Prlnoe Ito said that the
situation in Corea was very hopeful and
there was no reason to expect any
serious opposition to the change in the
Judicial system provided for In a conven
tion between Corea and Japan, which Is
supposed to have been Ito's recent mis
sion to Seoul. The change In the system
in Corea, he said, was an absolute neces
sity, but would not change the policy of
Japan toward Corea. The convention,
declared the Prince, will be published In
a few days.
Prince Ito will preside tomorrow for
the first time at a meeting of the Privy
Council, of which he was recently ap
pointed president by the Emperor. There
is reason to believe that the pending
questions between Japan and China,
which are causing considerable attention.
wtU receive the first consideration by
Prince Ito.
MAT MEAN RUSSIAN ALXIAXCE
Pekln Diplomats See Deep Meaning
in Crane's Appointment.
PKKUf. July 19. The appointment by
President Taft of Charles R. Crane, of
Chicago, a man unknown to the Eastern
world or In diplomatic curcles. to be
Minister to China, la reeognlied In Pekln
official quarters as the breaking of new
ground as well as the most striking ac
tion with reference to American repre
sentation tn China for the last 60 years.
The action has aroused great Interest
among Europeans, who say that only the
I'nlted States la In a position to make
appointments of this kind and succeed.
The Russians and French In the Chi
nese capital have attached special sig
nificance to the transfer of W. W. Rock
hill from Pekln to St. Petersburg, holding
It to mean a Russo-American alignment
on Chinese affairs.
High Chinese officials declare that
Japan Is China's greatest enemy, but
Great Britain has unofficially warned
China that the Anglo-Japanese alliance
as never more strong than It Is at pres
ent, and has urged that China devise
amicable relations with Japan.
PRINCE CHIXG IS CENSURED
Ancient ExrluRlveness of Throne
Being Revived by Regent.
LONDON. July 19. The Times pub
lishes from its Pekln correspondent a
strong Indictment of the incapacities and
blunders of Prince Chlng.
The correspondent asserts that the an
cient excluslveness of the throne has
been revived la the Foreign Office, owing
to indignities which Prince Chlng Im
posed on the representatives of the
powers.
In place of Mr. Heney.to examine these
cases carefully and. If they cannot be
brought to trial In a reasonable time, or
convictions seaured. to dismiss them.
Hobson said he believed In Mr. Heney.
Fitzgerald's amendment was lost.
Mann of Illinois said Mr. Heney needed
no defense.
"The only people opposed to him," he
remarked, "are those who sympathize
with some of those who have been ac
cused. If not convicted, of graft."
Hurke of Pennsylvania called the 1111
nolslan to order, saying that Mann's ad
mission that Mr. Heney needed no de
fense disposed of the necessity of con
suming the House's time.
"I am glad." said Mann, "that only one
member, and he from the great and pure
Ftale of Pennsylvania. Is opposed to Mr.
Heney."
Strikes Raek at Illinois,
Smarting under Mann's sarcastic refer
ence to Pennsylvania as a "great and
pure" state, Hurke charged that he had
been placed In the position of denouncing
a competent and earnest public officer.
He had objected, be said, because Mann
was abusing the privileges and power of
the House. The suggestion of Mr. Mann,
he charged, was gratuitous.
"But 1 want to say," he remarked with
some warmth, "that when the great and
pure State of Pennsylvania wishes to
have its politics or Its moral tone im
proved. It will not go to the gentleman
from Illinois, the State of Illinois, or the
City of Chicago, from which tne gentle
man halls."
Burke Testifies for Defense.
Far back In the chamber Moore of
Pennsylvania was trying to attract the
attention of Burke. When he succeeded,
he propounded a series of questions which
moved the House to laughter.
"Do you not?" asked Moore, "regard as
highly complimentary the reference to
Pennsylvania?"
"I do." emphatically replied Burke.
"Do you deny that Pennsylvania Is a
great and pure stater' Moore Inquired.
"I do not," responded Burke.
The House voted down a resolution by
Cullom of Indiana prohibiting the pay
ment of any part of the deficiency appro
priation toward the employment of spe
cial counsel to assist In prosecuting Del
avan Smith, of the Indianapolis News,
and Joseph Pulitzer, of the New York
World. In connection with the Govern
ment's libel suit growing out of the Pan
ama canal purchase.
SOLOfJS GET ANGRY
LEGISLATE 'MINER OUT
MINERS INSURGENTS ADOPT
NEW PLAN OF ATTACK.
Would Abolish Offices and Salaries
With One Exception Shot
at Guggenheim.
DENVER. Colo., July 19. The support
era of P. W. Flynn. of Butte, laid the
foundation for their fight agTainst Presi
dent Moyer at today's sessions of the
Western Federation of Miners' conven
tion. The programme was outlined In
the annual report of Joseph Hutchinson,
member of the executive board. It In
cludes the abolition of the offices of
president and vice-president, the crea
tion of a new non-salaried executive
board consisting of one member from
each state and one salaried officer, that
o f seer e tary -1 re asu rer .
The report of Xanco Terzlch, of Alaska,
executive board member, contained a re
view of the strike situation In the Tread
well district. He charged that the Gug
genheim Interests were Importing men by
the hundreds, overstocking the market
and following this with a reduction In
wages.
The Moyer forces again defeated the
"Insurgents" by refusing to consider reso
lutions providing certain changes In the
constitution.
The executive board has ordered an In
vestigation of the- killing of two men by
A. C. Ryan, -at Los Angeles.
President Moyer gave out the follow
ing: "If the killing was over Western
Federation of Miners matters, we will, of
course, protect our interests and defend
Ryan, but If It was a personal affair he
will have to look out for himself."
The convention today, for the first time,
went Into executive session to hear the
report of Executive Board Member Tracy,
who has been working In the Michigan
copper field. He offers some suggestions
for forcing a more thorough organization
of that district and the convention desires
to keep them quiet for the present.
MOORS IN BITTER FIGHT
HENEY PAIDF0R NOTHING
(Continued From First Pmse.)
Bennett of New York added that the
prosecution of the turpentine trust also
was responsible for part of It.
Clark of Missouri denounced the ap
pointment of Incompetent district at
torneys, necessitating, as he said, the
employment of special counsel. The
practice had grown into a fad. and a
very expensive fad. He declared If
there had been a competent District
Attorney or two tn the West, there
would not havo been so mui stealing
of public lands.
Fitzgerald offered an amendment
providing that Mr. Heney should get no
part of the money to be allowed the
Iepartment of Justice as a deficiency
appropriation.
"We should have some check against
paying Mr. Heney further sums." he
said, "until some Investigation can be
made. I would like to have that SS000
item Investigated. There are some 28
additional rases besides the Blnger
Hermann case for which Mr. Heney has
had no compensation. If he should be
paid at the same rate, then this defi
ciency appropriation would need to be
greatly enlarged."
Fitzgerald also objected because, he
said. Mr. Heney had received $43,000
from private sources during the time he
was retained by the Government.
Tawney opposed the amendment, saying
he was willing to trust the Administra
tion. He said: I don't "for a moment
believe that it will be possible for Mr.
Heney to draw one dollar of this appro
priation for any servicea he may have
rendered heretofore. The Attorney-Gen-aral
has Instructed the attorney serving.
Spaniards Clash With Fanatical
Afric Tribesmen.
MADRID. July 1. Official dis
patches received - here today indicate
that the fighting yesterday between the
Moors and Spanish at Melllla was grav
er than at first believed. The Moorish
cavalry made a concerted attack on the
Spanish headquarters, swarming down
from all directions and firing their guns
as they approached.
The tribesmen displayed fanatical
bravery and their headlong charge waa
only stopped by a deadly fire of the
Spanish batteries. The Moors returned
to the attack during the night and the
battle was still raging this morning.
Spanish losses are important, among the
dead being a lieutenant-colonel, a com
mandant and captain.

Personalities and Discord.
MACON READY TO RESIGN
Rucker and Mann Tangled TJp In
Dispute, and Incident, After
Looking; Threatening, Is
Ended In Laughter.
WASHINGTON, July 19. Legislation
was halted In the House today while sev
eral of the members Indulged In a aeries
of personalities, which assumed such pro
portions that Macon, of Arkansas, an
nounced his willingness to resign If the
statements affecting him were proven.
The controversy was between Macon,
Rucker, of Colorado, and Mann, of Illi
nois. Rucker dlscusseed a provision granting
money for the board of children's guar
dians, and thus fell Into a colloquy with
Mann, during which the latter said that
this money was used for the most part
In sending "office-seekers" home. Rucker
remarked that Mann could have Colora
do's share of such an appropriation.
Mann declared he had sent back more
stranded people to Colorado than to Chi
cago. Rucker Tells Story.
Rucker had said that Macon reminded
him of a fellow who had applied at a
Colorado ranch for food and raiment and
had got both. After reemainlng there
for only 30 days It was found he could
only say "whoa,'
"The gentleman from Colorado," began
Macon, "has attempted to relieve him
self of some of the gas on his stomach
by telling an old yarn here that he ap
plies to myself."
Mr. Macon declare the gas on his
stomach never had been bo disagreeable
that he felt called upon to reflect upon
the action of any member In order to
exploit the fact that he had cast a vote
In a certain way, after the newspapers
had ignored htm.
Mann Is Scored.
Rucker said Mann was wrong In his
conclusions, while Macon was right.
Macon, he said, had proclaimed himself
from day to day as the watch dog of
the treasury.
"But," he added, "he has cost more
money by the delays he has occasioned
by his objecting moods than all. the
other members.
"I don't know how the gentleman
recognized himself when I gave the
description of a man who appeared
upon my ranch and asked for food and
raiment. If a correct measurement were
made according to the gentleman's own
measure of his standing, he would be
about six feet five Inches."
The Republicans shouted with laugh
ter, which waa turned into applause
when Macon arose. He did not, he said,
purpose to bandy words with Rucker,
"for I do not consider that he Is
worthy." He challenged Rucker to
substantiate his statements. In which
event, he declared, that he would re
sign his seat.
A chorus of groans and expressions of
"Oh, oh," "Oh,-no," closed the incident.

I can only say that my Information
on this point is derived wholly from
newspaper reports. I read in the St.
Paul papers that Mr. Stevens was to
make a trip of some six weeks' dura

this Is true, or that he has come out
to the Coast.
. "I have also read within a week or
ten days newspaper reports from Port
land to the effect that he has been
around Oregon nnder an assumed
name. I can hardly credit this report
In the first place, I know of no reason
why he should care to go around trav

place. I think he Is so well known that
any such attempt on his part would,
prove futile. I don't think he has been
