Legislation,
Wlnfield, Kan., July 16. Speaker
Canon, for the first ttme In his life,
lectured at the Chautauqua today. He
vigorously defended the old house
rules and declared he had been gross
ly misrepresented. He spoke ardent
ly for the Aldrlch-Payne tariff and
characterized the new rules as ln
lqultlous and the Insurgents, who led
the movement against him, particu
larly Representative Murdook of Kan
sas, as Ignorant publicity speakers.
He said the Insurgents' criticisms are
In the same class with the fault a
hobo, stealing a ride on a limited,
found with thu engineer.
"The rules wero never patrlsan,"
said Uncle Joe. It has always been
the minority attacking the rules and
It Is rertnlnly the easiest way of at
tracting attention to make up f-r a
deficiency In legislative work. We
have had another season of hysteria
over the rules, abounding In more
Ignorance than knowledge. A small
percentage of the majority supported
the minority and thus created a ma
jority. The postal savings bank law
Is the only real Important piece of
legislation enacted by the last session
of the legislature. Under the special
rules I hope Murdock becomes less
Interesting and more frequently right
In his work."

Washington, July 16. Unofficially

countries that share a similar distinc

do not relish the German aggressive

Tokio,. July 16. "Unhappily, forces
for evil for unknown but sinister
purpose, constantly nre endeavoring
by false reports or other methods, to
create conditions of ill will or dis
trust between two neighboring peo
ples. "Their relations are too firmly es
tablished and ther interests are too

of any question arising between Ja

not yield readily to the ordinary pro

betwefi the two governments dispel
all apprehensions on that score."
This utterance was made last night
by Foreign Minister Count Komura
in ion st ing J. M. Dickinson, the Am
erican secretary of war at a banquet
given by Count Komura In honor of

Count Komura and Thomas J. O'
Brien, the American ambassador.
Count Komura in proposing the health
of Mr. Dickinson, referred to previous
visits to Japan of President Taft.
"These visits I recall," said the for
eign minister, "not because his per
sonality endeared him to all, but be
cause his insight and calm judgment
enabled him to appreciate the true
value of the sentiments entertained
ed accurately President Tart and tne
people of the United States and said
it was fortunate that there would be
found at the head of affairs in Am
erica a man possessing a keen knowl
edge of the far east.
"There is no reason for a breach of
friendship between the United States
and Japan." said Mr. Dickinson.
Sound judgment must predominate.
False reports or evil suggestions have
bonds of abiding friendship."
Mr. Dickinson .and party, who are
guests of the ambassador, will be

Trainmen believe the conference Is
merely made by officials to gain time

great chance for complications as the
firemen and engineers nre ready to
go out with the conductors and brake
