CRANE MADE VICTIM
Removal of Minister Doe to So
7 llcltatlons of Japan,
PURSUES AN AGGRESSIVE POLICY
Former American Official Was, Very
Active Against Japan Since
. War With Russia.
Pokin, Oct. 14. Japan has takon of
ficial c'ognizanco of tbo reported efforts1
of British and American intorests to
arrange with China to build "lie' Kin
ChowTsi-Tsihnr railway, as it is con
sidered tiat tho proposed construction
of tho road has grown out of tho defeat
of tho plan to build tho llsinmintin-.
Pakuman railroad.
Japan has formally notified China
that, whilo it does not Intend to ob
struct lhat government yet it will main
tain its right to bo consulted with ro
spect to Manchurian railways.
Eecont events in connection with the
recall of Charles K. Crano precipitated
Japan's action. It is understood that
the action of tho Amoricnn sccrotary of
stato followed Japan's solicitations, not
only on account of Mr. Crane's alleged
utterances, but because of American ac
tivities in Manchuria and of another
former American, official, whom tho
Japancso regarded as exceedingly active
in tho anti-Japaneso movement in Man
churia following the war.
The Japanese appear to be alarraod at
tho American activities, which seem to
boar the' stamp of governmental direc
tion.
JAPAN FORCED RESIGNATION.
Eemoval.of Crano Believed Duo to Her
Demands.
Washington, Oct. 14. It is tho gen
eral opinion in Washington today that
tho real reason behind tho resignation
of Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, as min
ister to China has not yet been divulged.
The question is being asked if Japan is
strong enough to dictate what man in
tho United States shall send to the
Orient; ,
Minister Crane has always been
friendly with Russia, and contributed
$5000 to tho young empress' fund dur
ing tho. war with Japan. He also has
ricid ideas about Japanese encroacn
ment in Manchuria as affecting AmorL
can riehts. The official statement
given out by Philander C. Knox, secre
tary of, state, which cited certain al
leeed indiscretions of Mr. Crano as a
basis for accepting his resignation, has
not entirely satislieu. eituer ouiciai or
lay Washington that the whole story has
been told.
The possible explanation of this dis
satisfaction lies perhaps not in the
fact that Mr. Knox's own statement
is interpreted hero as a confirmation of
"canards" which he officially charged
Mr. Crane with circulating with re
spect to tho action of the state depart
ment toward tho Japanese-Chineso
treaty. It is tho opinion hero that if
this was the real basis for the ousting
of Mr.-. Crane, Mr. Knox, as secretary
of state, would have followed tho usual
diplomatic method of burying tho real
issue as deeply as possible, especially
when its confirmation officially tended
to magnify tho existing diplomatic con
ditions, and would have offered some
other excuse.
It was apparent today that every
effort will be made in administration
circlesto ignore further pursuit of the
Crano ; .incident, if possible. It was
statedat the White House that, so far
as known there, tho incident was closed
In the absence of Mr. Knox, officials
in charge at the state department ex
hibited a decided inclination to keep
out of tho whole affair. In thn opinion
of Washington, tho Crane incident will
not die so easily, partially owing to
tho standing of Mr. Crane, partially
to the diplomatic questions directly in
volved anu partially because of Air,
Crane's own statement in reply to Mr,
Knox, which is interpreted hero as re
fleeting on the administration, of the
stato department.

WU "TALKS WITH SPIRITS.
Eminont Ohincso Mintstor Attends So-
ancos in Washington.
Washington, Oct. 15. Taking his
first nibblo at thtf mysteries of spirit
ism last Sunday night, Minister Wu
Ting Fang, tho best educated Chinaman
iri tho world, rotnrnod to tho "medi
ums" last night for a full blto. Ho
left tho "seanco" chock full of infor
mation from tho spirit world, for
through tho "medium" ho is supposod
to havo consulted tho spirts of tho lato
Presldont McKinloy and his own dead
mother. And tho latter talked in real
Chineso language
Minister Wu doesn't-say ho Is a con
vert to spiritualism." In fact, ho trios
to avoid tho subjoct entirely while talk
ing with newspaper mon. Ho admits,
however, that ho is interested, and that
ho may attend other "soancos" boforo
rotinng from his post in tho noar fu
ture.
His first oxperionoo occurred last
Sunday night at a public meeting,
where anonymous Ohincso spirits woro
described to Dr. Wu by n "tranco
medium," ns hovering in tho distin
guished diplomat's immodiato vicinity.
Dr. Wu exhibited great intorcst.
Last night ho wont again, this timo
to a smallor seance at a prlvato houso.
Dr. Wu refused last night to discuss
his experionco or impressions, nnd even
showed , solicitudo lest his prcsonco at
tho seanco should be tho subjoct of
nowspaper montion. Tho woman mo
dium who officiated a difforont ono
this timo brought to him messages
purporting to como from tho lato Presi
dent- McKinloy, who was an mtimato
friend of Dr. Wu, and also from tho
minister's own mothor. Tho lnttor was
tho more startling becauso, apparently,
j-l! 3 ! 4 1- mi i
uuuvuruu in laio umncso language.
Thesp messages aro claimed by tho
spiritualists to be brought to tho me
dium in tranco by tho spirit of a 10-
year-old Amorican Indian girl, undor
whoso "control" sho speaks in broken
English; yet tho conversation between
Dr. Wu and tho medium, whilo osten
sibly under this "control," was some
what extensive, lasting fully fivo min
utes, and seemed to bo in tho Chinese
vernacular, question and answer, unin
telligible to tho auditors, passing back
and forth with considerable freedom.
Thero was every evidence that the dip
lomat perfectly understood the commu
nication which apparently appeared to
como trom tno spirit of Dr. Wu's own
mother. It was asserted that the
medium and her "control" are both
absolutely ignorant of the Chineso lan
guage. JAPAN MUCH DISTURBED.
Americans and British ,to Build Rallr
road in China.
Washington, Oct. 15. American and
British capitalists havo about completed
arrangements with tho Chineso govern
ment to build a railroad from Chin
Chow Fu through Mongolian territory
to Tsitsihar, a distance of about 400
miles. This fact seems to havo dis
turbed tho equanimity of Japan.
Published reports from Pekin indi
cato that Japan has civen China notice
that it will maintain its right under
the two treaties concluded last month
to bo consulted with respect. to Man,
churian railways. Japan says it re
serves decision with regard to subso
quent action.
Among officials here it is regarded as
doubtful if Japan will be permitted tb
intorfero, without objection, in this or
other enterprises in Chian or Mnn
churia fn which Americans aro inter
ested. Tho fact that an objection to
tno construction of tho proposed Chin
Chow Fu-Tsitsihar road is hinted at by
T- : - i i n il
support allegations of monopolistic in
cunations on tho part of Japan.
Tho proposed railroad through Mon
golia will bo about 400 miles in lenirth
to Tsitsihar, and, if extended on the
Amur, its total length will approximate
GOO miles. Tho fact that it will tap tho
Jtussian Trans-aibcrian road at Tsitsi
har is thought to oxplain tho supposed
uneasiness of Japan, and, inasmuch as
tho Chinese Eastern and South Man
churian line, becauso of its more direct
route and shorter distance to tho south
would bo likely to becomo a strong
competitor to the latter road, which is
now controlled by Japan,
Government officials hero regard .Ta
pan's opposition to tho Hsinmintun
Fakumen line as retarding tho develop
ment by unina or a portion of her tor
ritory, and aB in direct violations of ar-
ticlo 4 of tho treaty of Portsmouth
which states that "Japan and Russia
reciprocally engage not to obstruct any
gonorai measures common to an. or
stops which China may tako for tho de
velopment of commerce and industry in
.Manchuria."
