REPOHIW EXAQQbKATED,
Bonaparte Telia Cabinet About Row
In San Francisco.
Washington, May 30. At the cabi
net meeting yesterday, Attorney-General
Bonaparte laid before the Presi
dent and Secretary Root the report of
District Attorney Devlin, of San
Francisco, upon the alleged assault
on Japanese residents of that city.
The report, Mr. Bonapart says, shows
that the first stories of the alleged
assault were exaggerated, and that
the difficulty appeared to be a lack of
police protection, owing to a strike.
Secretary Root took the report with
him, and if any further action is taken
it will be by the State Department.
Mr. Root received the following tel
egram from the governor of Cali
fornia in answer to a message of in
quiry relative to the attack upon
Japanese in San Francisco 'last Tues
day
Your telccrram of May 25. con
cerning assault made upon Japanese
received. Will call attention of Chief
of Police of San Francisco at once to
your telegram and request him to use
every effort to protect these people.
Think the assaults were due largely to
uiiccri.un cuiiuiuuns existing in oau
Francisco by reason of the labor
troubles."
The State Department has taken no
further action in the matter as yet,
but undoubtedly will communicate
Governor Gillett's telegram to the
Japanese embassy, and the belief is
eprcssed that it will sufficiently meet
the complaint.

ese Ambassador here, laid before Mr.

Press"
"There is nothing pending and no
reason for any fear of war between
the two countries. The assassination
of ex-Prcsidcnt Barillas by a Guate
malan developed in Mexico a feeling
of indigation and a strong protest by
public opinion against such a crimi
nal action, more so when it was
known that General Lima, .from
Guatemala, was supposed to be impli
cated. Mexico asked for the extra
dition of General Lima, not as com
pulsory under the treaty, but offering
Guatemala the privilege that might
have been accepted. Guatemala de
clined, and this was the end of the
conflipt.
"There remains in Mexico a feel
ing of grievance and condemnation
in public sentiment, but not a spirit
of war. The troops that have been
located on the frontier of Mexico and
Guatemala arc there for the purpose
of keeping order and to give protec
tion to the people of all nationalities.

Swift New Vessel Is Expected to
Steam 24 Miles an Hour.

cruiser Birmingham, one of the laest
types of fast warships, was launched
today. Miss Mary Campbell, of
Birmingham, Ala., broke a bottle of

and five decks, the main and berth
decks being continued from stem to
stern. Her battery will consists of
two five-inch and six three-inch rapid

Washington, May 31. The State

variegated diseases tho doctors had
a oleepy Sunday, but boforo night the
drug clorKa were wan ana worn irom

All Kansas used the same medi
cine beer and whisky. Skeptical
persons see a connection between
tills condition of affairs and the fact
that the saloons have been closed
and the brewers and wholesale li
quor dealers driven out of business.
There Is just one way to get a
drink In Kansas now go to a drug
store and sign a certificate to the
effoot that tho beverage Is for medical
purposes. Moreover, the purchaser
must designate tho malady with
which he is afflicted. Every disease
known to medical eclonce has its vic

Insomnia and Indigestion are the
most common, but St. Vitus' dance
is running wild and tho palsy Is

MRS. McKINLEY IS DEAD,
Passed Away Peacefully and Painlessly
at 1:05 P. M. Sunday.
Canton, May 27. Mrs. Wn. Mc
Kinley, widow of the late President,
died at her home here at 1:05
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
For many years Mrs. McKinley had
been an Invalid. She recovered from
tho shock of her husband's tragic
death, but it left its mark, and when
it was known that she had suffered a
stroke of paralysis, little hope was
felt that she could survive. The end
camo peacefully, almost Impercept
ibly. Mrs. McKinley never knew of
tho efforts made to prolong her life,
or tho Bollcltous hope of her sister
and other relatives and friends for
her recovery.
At the McKinley home when death
camo there wero present Secretary
Cortelyou, Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Bar
bour, Mrs. Sarah Duncan, Mrs. Luth
er Day, Justice and Mrs. William R.
Day, Doctors Porteman and Rlxey
and tho nurses.
"Mrs. McKinley lived longer than
was expected," said tho Secretary.
It was announced last night that
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Loeb will arrive In Canton Wednes
day morning to attend tho funeral
services. Vice President Fairbanks,
who had often been a house guest of
the McKinleys, is expected to reach
here in time to attend the funeral
cervices.
Tho body of Mrs. McKinley will be
placed In the vault In Westlawn
cemetery, which holds also the re
mains of her martyred husband, un
til the completion of the National
Mausoleum on Monument Hill, whon
both caskets will bo transferred to
receptacles in that tomb From num
erous friends of Mr McKinley. Mrs.
Barbour received telegramB of con
dolence on the death of her sister.
Among them were telegramB from
President Roosevelt and Vice Presi
dent Fairbanks.
EXTENSION WORK iS ABANDONED
One Road Alone Reduce Force 60
OOO Othert Follow In Propor
tion tn Men Employed,
Chicaao. May 28. Railroad man
agers here estimate that by the end
of the first week in June the railroads
of the country will nave aiscnargco
between 60,000 and 100,000 men now
employed. Some estimates put the
number much higher. This docs
not take into account the large
number of laborers and others dis
missed because of abandoned exten
sions and other improvements, ur
ders were recently issued for the
fitricte$t economy and the reduction
of forces to the lowest possible' point
The New York Central is to reduce
many of its pay-rolls fully one-third.
If the order is carried out literally m
all departments, it would mean the
discharge of 50,000 employes on tnis
system alone.
Railway managers say they rather
welcome the oooortunity to weed out
hundreds of incompetent, forced
upon them during the rush season, and
. . i i .... i.
to wnom, it is ciaimea, many wixckj.
and destruction of life and property
can be traced. Aside from this, the
r 1 1
roads expect to save a lew minions in
wages during the summer, when traf
fic is light. The heaviest cuts will
be in the operating departments, in
the shops and among clerks.
Many of the employes will be taken
back again when business becomes
heavy again, but a strong effort will
be made to shut out permanently the
incompetents and undesirables. The
discharged tracklayers and others who
were working on extensions ana like
improvements will not be re-employed
until the financial market is more
promising and until the new legisla
tion has been given a thorough trial
by the roads.
The application ot the 2-ccnt pas
senger rate will be especially felt by
Western roads, and reductions in
freight rates and the demands of labor
unions, which amount to millions, will
affect all roads and call for rigid econ
omy and a general slowing up until
the way seems clear.
Many states, also, have practically
doubled the taxes imposed upon rail
roads, and the general result requires
retrenchment in every direction pos
sible. FAVORSLIMITED ARMAMENTS.

ament restriction proposal for debate,
Japan will support it, and possibly
also the United States. It would be
