In all quarters the cry Is responding that whltes must dominate the Pacific, This feeling is dally growing. Only the remarkable tact of Klsa buro I'yono, the Japanese consul general at Sydney prevented an ex tremely embarrassing situation at the reception given the fleet officers by the Brazilian embassy. I'yono disregarded the veiled and open threats against Japan and spoke in the highest terms of the fleet. He said: "Japan will try to equal the reception here, for the fleet. Japan's friendship for America is traditional. We know of nothing to prevent a continuance and strengthening of the bonds between the two nations." It had been feared hnt Uyono would make some reference to the prevailing sentiment or that his speech might be an open breach which would be hard to heal In view of the circumstances. However, he was per fectly calm and fully equal to the situation His speech was well re ceived nnd had a good effect. The enthusiasm continues. I KERX NOTIFIED OF HIS NOMINATION.

NO GROUNDS FOR ORDER, rr IS DECLARED Washington Sheepmen Refused to Dip and Sought to Restrain Oregon Of flciala from Enforcing Oregon Laws Regardless of the Antt Dipping Injunction Washington Sliecpnien Are liable to Criminal lYoMxmtlon Oregon Inspector Will Force Dipping of Outside Sheep. When Circuit Judge Bean returns to the city he will be asked to rescind the Washington sheepmen's injunc tion which Judge Gilliland recently granted, so It is Intimated. That there was no proper basis for an injunction is freely declared by Dan P. Smythe, secretary of the sheep commission, for he holds that Dr. Lytle, state sheep Inspector, had done nothing to warrant the order made by Judge Gilliland. Under the terms of a ruling mad by the sheep commission all sheep brought into this state from Wash ington and from some other state must be dipped under the direction of the sheep Inspector. This year the Washington men re fused to dip and in their stand they were aided by Ranger Schmttz, of th forestry service, who Issued an ordr that the sheep should not -be dipped on the reserve. However, the forest- ! ry bureau reversed Schmltz In thtt j matter. ( A few weeks ago H. C. Adams, of Walla Walla, brought suit for an or der restraining Dr. Lytle or John Bryant, state and county Inspectors, from seizing sheep that had not been dipped according to regulations. The order was granted by Judge "Gilli land in the absence of Circuit Judge Bean. ' But regardless of the Injunction the Washington sheepmen are liable in a criminal way for having brought their sheep into the state without dipping, so it Is now claimed. Ac cordingly the cases against them will be brought before the grand Jury when it Is called In September In which cas that body will have troubles aside from those arising out of pro hibition law violations.
