Story of Important Negotia
tions hat Brought About
Agreement Between Uni
ted 'States and Japan
Russia Saved by America.
(Uearat Km tr bntMt Laaaed yir.)
Hot Springs, Va.,' Nov. 28.It can be
, stated upon authority that aa early as
; J05 Japan made overture to the
' United States for an understanding of
" tlie maintenance of the status quo In
. Asia, an understanding, the original
idea of which contemplated a concerted
. acion by the United States, Japan and
Ureat Britain. At that time ne ae-
' fensive alliance between Japan and
' tlreat Britain already had been formed
The Japanese did not propose a formal
. alliance, knowing the American tradi
tion against entanglements; it was sug
rested, however, that the understand
' ing should take the form of a well un-
derstood agreement which should have
. the binding nower. morally, of a formal
treaty. That such a triple alliance or
understanding . was proposed is a se
cret that has - been carefully guarded
up to the present time. . .
. Proposal Through Taft.
The proposal by Japan' " was made
: through wuiiam ,. Tart. -,. wnen aic.
1 Taft. aa secretary of war,, was return-
: ing to the Philippine islands he stopped
In J,n,n and wmh received with almost
dramatic hospitality by the Japanese
government, tne emperor snowea an
Interest in the secretary that attracted
general attention. for , the common
i theory was that Mutsiihito and his
statesmen were eager to relieve the
United States of the burden of Sover
eignty In the Philippines. , After Mr.
Taft had been received at the palace,
one of the imperial ministers. Count
Katsura, sought a private interview with
him.'" - ,
Speaking for the emperor, this minis
ter announced to the American aecre-
tary of war that Japan desired to enter
into an unaersianoins wntuu wuuia in
clude both the United States and Great
Britain, -
, ' . Against His Follojr.
. Mr. Taft pointed out that' it was
against the fixed policy of the United
States to contract such alliances, a fact
i which Count Katsura said ne penecuy
understood; that there was no power in
the government to make secret treaties
of any kind; that the American people
by tradition and sentiment were op
posed to formal alliances, and that it
was out of the question tq ask. them to
change their ways, .
Disclaiming ail right or Inclination to
speak for his country, save as a private
individual, the secretary assured the Im
perial representative - that the United
States desired the maintenance of the
Chinese empire, "the open door policy,"
and the other equal and fair conditions
suggested, and that he felt himself jus
tified in saying that while an American
British Japanese alliance was not to
, be thought of. Japan might go ahead
and. as far as she adhered to the pro
gram aitd purposes set forth, She need
fear no lack of sympathy. and support
from the United States.
Count Katsura assured Jft Taft that
Jr pan had no designs upoajlhe Philip
pines so long as a proper, stable gov
ernment was maintained; in other words,
. that the United States need fear noth
ing from Japan.
Mr, Taft, speaking unofficially, said
that he was sure the. United States
would have no Interest In Korea, except
the same interest that Japan manifested
in the Philippines. Both Mr. Taft and
Count Katsura gave assurance of a pur
pose to maintain the open door la China
and the final effect or the talk tended
. toward an understanding to maintain
the peace In the Pacific. ,
Cabled the Fresldsni
; At the end of the conference the Jap
anese minister prepared a memorandum
' of the conversation. This was edited by
Mr. Taft, who cabled It to the presi
dent through the state department. The
note is in the archives of the state de
partment now. The president replied,
approving the position that Mr. Taft
iaA- taken.: It is impossible to say at
present whether Great Britain was con
sulted by Japan before ahe attempted to
secure the United States as an ally.
' It will amase the people of Japan to
know that It was their own government
and not that of Russia which took the
first steps to secure the mediation of
President Roosevelt which ended the
mla-htv armed struggle In Manchuria.
A personal representative of the Jap
anese emperor was sent to the White
House and explained matters to Mr.
. Roosevelt He requested the president
to see what could be done toward end-
. ing the war.
America Saves Xnstie.
The president assured Japan's envoy
tnat ne would giaaiy ao anyming in
his power to bring peace to the world.
solemn and emphatic language that it
would be useless to attempt to secure
a. treaty or peace ir Japan should insist
upon a money indemnity or a cession
of Russian territory. Japan agreed to
President Roosevelt's suggestion. The
Japanese helped Russia to rob them of
the legitimate iruits or a victorious
war and thus left them after all their
sacrifices to pay the cost of the conflict
out of their own pockets, while their
'vanquished enemy escaped practically
cot free. ... - . .

(8pcll Dispatch to Tbs Joarnil.l
Butte, Mont., Nov. 28. Technically an
even break on all points for Miles Fln
len is the result of the decision rendered
Dy judge Borqum today in the cele
brated case of W. W. Wishon against
Miles Flnlen, over an option on the fa
mous Minnie Healy claim, over which
arose the Helnxe-Amalgamated Copper
war. On the first count in the case the
judge finds for the defendant; on the
second count he finds for the plaintiff
and assesses the damage at $1.
Thesult waa brought to make Miles
Flnlen pay '17142 for an option on the
Minnie Healy lode claim, and for dam
ages because of his alleged failure to
assign the option later to the plaint
Iff assignee. In passing upon the
matter at issue, the court says that Sf
Finlen had not been fortunate enough
to receive 1131.260 from the Boston
and Montana company for the options,
"after they were expired and worth
less,'' the plaintiff would not have
thought that Finlen was bound to pay
him the $7142.
This sum of $131,250 received bv Fln
len, "virtually for nothing," save the
court, was simply Finlen good for
tune, and in this the plaintiff has no
legal right to share.
Finlen sold part of the Minnie Healy
lode claims to Heinze, but not those
involved in tne suit, as it was the liti
gation growing out of the Heinse nor.

It was brought to America and last

taken up the work, tried the plan in

Fifty thousand of the stamps went in
pne week. Jacob Rlls, himself a Dane,
had written an article on the stamp
for the Outlook," and that edition of
the magazine was sold out In a minute.
Those who had read about the Christ
inas stamps told everyone else. And
fl!?" bouKht them, so that when
Christmas day came the Red Cross
found that It had sold In Wilmington
and Philadelphia 400,000 stamps and
cleared nearly 83000.
In Delaware they established an edu
cational exhibit to show the very best
ways of coping with the White Plague.
A. nurse was gent to tha sanitarium. A
free dispensary was supplied with good
milk and fresh eggs and the needed
drugs. A visiting nurse was retained
for the consumptive poor. And $1000
was set aside. as a nucleus for a tuber
culosis hospital.
That's what little Delaware did last
Christmas.

uregon the visiting Nurse association
has taken up the work. Not many of
us know, fortunately, that one out of
every 10 people who die in Portland
have been killed by consumption. It's
not a pleasant thing to think about
But it's a worse thing to close our eyes
to and decline to think about
There are people here who are too
poor and who know too little of the dis
ease to watch out for or care about con
sumption. The nurse association has bv
private subscription placed some of
these people in the Ooen Air sanatorium.
A portion of the funds secured from the
safe of the Christmas stamps will

Nearly every firm in the city has
agreed to help in the Christmas fund.
The department stores are all assisting.
The committees of the association have
met with great success. One plan that
has been proposed is for all those who
ride on the streetcars to set aside one
day during the month of December be
tween now and Christmas, when - they
will walk and thus make up the Port

a day is determined upon it will be an
