Premier's Organ Says Terms Offered
Unacceptable to Nippon.
China Rtfuses to Reconsider and Ja
pan May Abandon Effort to Con

pears in Controversy Mikado's
Patience Is Exhausted.
Tokio, July 20. The Kokumin. one
of the most influential of the Japanese
newspapers, and which is generally re
garded as the mouthpiece of Marquis
Katsura, the premier, in matters per
taining to the government's policy, in
an article today discussed the situation
between Japan and China and strikes a
somewhat alarmist note.
It was expected, ssys the article,
that the withdrawal of the proposal to
mere to The Hague arbitration tri
bunal the differences between China
and Japan, preceded the adoption of
what was hoped would be a conciliatory
policy by China. But this expectation
has not been realized. China now pro
poses wholly unacceptable terms and
refuses to reply to Japan's request for
reconsideration. The article concludes:
"The Japanese government is exer
cising all possible patience, but is not
carrying its endurance to the point of
sentimentality. Unless China s mood
changes before the conclusion of the
current month, Japan will be obliged
to assume a different attitude.

Pekin Diplomat Sees Deep Meaning
in Crane's Appointment.
Pekin, July 20. The appointment
by President Taft of Charles R. Crane,
of Chicago, a man unknown to the
Eastern world or in diplomatic circles,
to be minister to China, is recognized
in Pekin official quarters as the break'
ing of new ground as well as the roost
striking action with reference to
American representation in China for
the last 50 years.
The Russians and French in the Chi
nese capital have attached special sig
nificance to the transfer of W. W.
Rockhill from Pekin to St Petersburg,
holding it to mean a Russo-Ami-riean
alignment on Chinese affairs.
High Chinese officials declare that
JaDan is China's greatest enemy, but
Great Britain has unofncilaly warned
China that the Anglo-Japanes3 alliance
was never more strong than it is at
present, and has urged that China de
vise amicable relations witn japan.
TRYING CALHOUN AGAIN.
Court Begins Interminable Task of
Securing Jury.
San Francisco, July 20. Patrick
Calhoun, president of the United Rail
rosds. is agatn on trial in this city on
a charge of offering a bribe to a public
officials to gain a privilege for his
corporation. Half a day had been de
voted to interrogation of prospective
iurors when the first panel of 25 citi
zens was exhausted, and an adjourn'
ment taken until next Wednesday
morning.
Except for the absence of three or
four notable principals and the pres
ence of District Attorney W. H. Lang-
don as chief prosecutor, the proceed
ings today differed in no parti-ular
from the early stages of the first trial,
which resulted in a disagreement.
It
was evident from today's examination
that the talesmen were anxious to es
cape service on any pretext.
Disagrees on Jap Csse.
Honolulu, July 20. The jury in the
csse of 13 Japanese strikers who re
sisted arrest following the riot on the
Waikahu plantation on July 8, which

that it was impossible to agree, came
into court today and informed Judge

dict. After charging it furthe.' the
judge again ordered it locked up. An
hour later the jury for the third time
reported a disagreement and finally
was discharged.
'Moors in Bitter Fight.
Madrid, July 20 Official dispatches
received here torJay indicate that the
fighting yesterday between the Moors
and Spanish at Melilla was graver than
at first be'ieved. The Moorish cavalry
made a concerted attack on the Span

all directions and firing their guns aa
they approached. The tribesmen dis
played fanatical bravery and the head
long charge was stopped only by a
deadly fire of the Spanish batteries.

Madrid, July 20. Although the Car

KEPT BLOODY OATH.
Moro Bandit, Jikiri, Had Sworn to
Kill 100 Men.
Manila, July 19. When Jikiri, the
Moro bandit chief who was killed with
all his followers in a desperate battle
with troops and constabulary near Pa-
tian, on Jolo island, July 5, began bia
career as an outlaw, be swore ho would
kill 100 men before he died.
The record of the murders he com
mitted is not complete, but it ia stated
in a dispatch received today from Zam-
boanga that the bandit probably mad
good his oath, as the partial record at
band shows he took the lives of nearly
a hundred persons.
From the latest reports of toe fight.
all but one of the several women in the
cave where the outlaws made their last
stand were wives of Jikiri.
But one of the women escaped. She
was the wile of one of the Jikiri fol
lowers and accepted the safe conduct
offered by the Americans before the
assault on the cave began.
Lieutenant Joseph A. Baer, of the
Sixth cavalry, is agreed by all who saw
the fight to have been the hero of the
battle. He was armed with a Win

great execution. His timely rescue of
Lieutenant Arthur H. Wilson, who was
struggling with Jikiri and already des

killed the bandit, and his certain aim.

TAX ALL INCOMES IS PLAN.
National Manufacturers Association Is
sues Statement.
New York. July 20. The board of
directors of the National Association
of Manufacturers today issued the fol
lowing statement addressed "To the
Congress of the United States:"
"The National Association of Manu
facturers indorses any reasonable meas
ure to secure by tax the requisite mon
ev which, together with the tariff du
ties, shall be sufficient to support thii
government
"We deplore the effort or dema
gogues to segregate American citizens
and make government supporters of
one class and charity recipients of an
other; well knowing the character of
our best-grade workmen, we understand
that they do not relish attempt to
make of them recipients of any other
man'a contributions.
"We therefore recommend if neces
sary for income purposes, the enact
ment of measures providing a just and
equitable tax upon all citizens. As an
illustration, we suggest one-righth of
1 per cent on all incomes; this would
require 75 cents from the man who re
ceives $600 a year and $1,250 from the
man who receives $1,000,000 a year,
TURKISH POLICE CENSURED.
Report of Court Martial on Adana
Massacres Made Public.
Constantinople, July 20. The report
of the court martial on the Adana mas
sacres, made publio today, is a strong
denunciation of the incapacity and
apathy of the police and other local au
thorties. It says:
"Fifteen persona already have been
hanged; 800 deserve death; 15,000 de
serve hard labor for life; 80,000 de
serve minor sentences.
"If it is decided to proceed with the
punishment, we will cordon the town
and deal expeditiously with the mat
ter."
In view, however, of the general
reconciliation between the opposing
elements, the report recommends that
general amnesty be made thu occasion
of a national fete.

Ross, of i he Standard Oil steamer Da
kotah, which arrived here yesterday
from Manila, entered in his log, in lat
itude 45:30 north, longitude 15:2 west,
the steamer's meeting with a strange
denizen of the deep, which the log de
scribes as 40 feet long and 10 feet
wide, with a cavernous mouth, and eyes
as big as a locomotive headlight At
a distance it was thought to be a
whale.
Naval Pageant Success.
London, July 20. London's naval
pageant, in which 150 warships are
taking part, waa favored toiay by
glorious weather, and is pronounced
an enormous success. It has been as
serted that the reason such a large fleet
never before waa gathered in the
Thames waa the fear of the possibility
of its being bottled in by an enemy.

of Chicago, whose selection as minister
to China by President Taft was an

A BRIEF DAILY REPORT ON
THE WORK OF CONGRESS
Tuesday, July 20.
Washington. July 20. Wood pulp,
print paper and lumber, to say nothing
of hides, iron ore and other so-called
raw material, are receiving the most
serious attention from the conferees.
The paper and pulp fight bida fair to
be especially stubborn and probably
will be somewhat prolonged.
Much progress has been made on the
cotton schedule, but hosiery and a
number of other leading items of cot
ton manufacture are causing the tariff
arbitrators much concern. The draw
back provision is practically the only
important administrative feature that
remains unsettled.
Although the rates of duty have
been fixed on practically all of the
steel product, there has been . a pro
test against the increiaed rate on
structural steel punched lor use. It
was thought that a compromise on lead
and its products was in riew, but this
schedule a'so has proved difficult of
adjustment. The duties on line in
blocks and pigs, which were increased
by the senate over the house rates, is
another matter which is delaying the
settlement of the metals schedule.
Monday, July 19
Washington. July 19. Today the
conferets devoted their attention main
ly to the revised corporation tax pro
vision, which was adopted.
An effort was made today to dispose
of the wood pulp and print paper sched
ule. The retaliatory provision con
cerning pulp was rewritten, and it is
now believed that it will prove satis
factory to American mills. The print
paper schedule is still in controversy.
The only controversy expected on
the cotton schedule relates to hosiery.
Representative Payne stands firmly for
-higher duties and the other house con
ferees are likely to sustain him.
Stturdsy, July 17.
Washington. July 17. The tariff
conferees today settled the question of
giving the secretary of the treasury
authority to issue 50-year 3 per eent
bonds to cover the entire cost of the
Panama canal. The effect of the bond
orovision is to repeal the limit of the
bond authorization of the Spooner act,
although not interfering with 2 per
cent bonds issued under that authority
to the amount of $84,631,980. The
estimated cost of the canal ia $375,
201,000, which will be the figure
named in the new authorization, and
bonds may be issued as they are needed
at the rate of 3 per cent to the extent
of $290,569,020.
There is no doubt that a 1 per cent
Ux on the net earnings of corporations
will be accepted.
Practically the only subject consid
ered during the forenoon session of the
conference was the woolen schedule,
A reduction of 5 per cent was made in
the Dingley rates on women's and
children's dress goods made of cotton
warp. Three changes in the wool
schedule were agreed upon. All of
these were reductions, the lower duty
on women's and children's dress goods
being made on woolen fabrics weigh'
ing four ounces or over to the square
yard and woven into con t ton wark.
reduction of 25 per cent was also made
on yarna valued at 30 cents a pound
less.
or
Friday, July 16.
Washington, July 16. Twenty four
hours would are the end of the work of
the senate and house conferees on the
tariff bill and a substantial agreement
upon the question at issue but for the
five propositions iron ore. coal, hides,
oil and lumber upon which the presi
dent stands firm for radical reductions
or even abolition of the tariff.
The rates on silks and woolen goods
were determined today. The senate
won on both. On silks there will be
considerable advance over existing du
ties and on woolens there is to be no
change from the present law, except in
regard to wool tops, which are to be
given a new classification. The duty
on tops is prohibitive now, and it is
predicted that it will continue so, evr
after the reduction is put into force.
Thursday, July 15.
Washington, July 15. Questions on
cotton goods and lead product were
Uken up by the tariff conferees today,
Members of the house conference
committee declined to accept the sen'
ate amendments to the cotton schedule
when that subject was Uken up. These
amendments consist chiefly of changes
from nil valorem to specific duties for
the purpose of carrying out the orig
inal intent of the Dingky rates, which
enati conferees assert have been
pulled down by the misinterpretation
of the Dingley law.
Wednesday, July 14.
Washington, July 14. Reports that
there was dissatisfaction in the tariff
conference with the corporation tax
amendment, and that it might be drop
14 iut of the bill reached the ears of
President Taft today. In consequence
Senator Aldrich and Keprenentative
Payne were called to the White House.
The houao provision allowing a draw
back to the amount of internal revenue
Taft Favors Canal Bonds
Washington, July 21. At a confer
ence between President Taft, Senator
Aldrich, Chairman Payne and treasury
officials today, it waa decided to aak
congress to authorize a bond issoe to
the extent of the latest estimate of tb
cost of tbo Panama canal, the proposed
issue to bear 3 per cent interest. The
Goetbals estimate of $397,000,000 as
the cost of the canal will be need aa a
basis for the iasoe. The existing canal
bond limit ia $130,000,000.
tax paid on domestic alcohol used in
articlea such as perfumes and cosmetics
manufactured for the foreign trade was
tentatively accepted.
The real struggle over rates fixed by
the house and senate and which was to
have begun today, was deferred be
cause of the desire to get reports on a
number of subjects which were referred
to subconferees and committees for in
vestigation. In order that no time
should be lost, it waa decided to take
up at once the administrative section
in their order.
When adjornment was taken at 6 :30
o'clock the senate maximum and min
imum provision had been accepted ten
tatively with the exception of the pro
vision for the employment of tariff ex
perts. The house conferees argued
that the ways and meana committee
and the senate finance committee have
the investigation of tariff matters as
their special province.
CRANE IS MINISTER.
Prominent Chlcagoan Accepts Post at
Chinese Capital.
Washington, July 17. Charles R.
Crane, of Chicago, vice president of
the Crane company, has been chosen by
President Taft to represent the United
States as minister to China, succeeding
W. W. Rockhill, who was taken from
China to be ambassador to Russia. It
is understood that Mr. Crane haa an
nounced his willingness to accept, and
that his appointment awaits the ex
change of usual preliminary formali
ties between the two countries.
The Chinese mission, under a policy
with regard to Oriental affairs already
inaugurated by the present administra
tion, will be one of the most important
posts in the diplomatic service. Pres
ident Taft has exoenenced much dim-
culty in finding the right man for the
place. He believes he has just the
person in Mr. Crane, who not only
stands high in the business world, but
has made an exhaustive study of inter
national politics.
GIVES STANDARD OIL LINE.
Government Allows Pipe From Okla
homa to Mississippi River.
Washington. July 16. A right of
way to the Prairie Oil Gas company,
a subsidiary of the Standard Oil com
pany, for the construction of an eight
inch pipe line for the purpose of con
ducting oil from a point in Tulsa
county, Okla., in the Glenn pool field,
through the Creek, Cherokee and Choc
taw nations in a southeasterly direc
tion to the Okalhoma-Arkansaa state
line, a distance of 151 miles, was today
approved by Acting Secretary of the
Interior Pierce. The new pipe line
will then extend onward to Baton
Rogue, La.
The new pipe line is the outgrowth
of Secretary Ballinger's action in
amending the oil and gna regulations
by striking out the "common curriers"
and "confiscatory" clauses; none of
the companies being willing to extend
their lines under the old regulations.
vheit Exports Smaller.
Washington, July 20. According to
figures made public by the department
of commerce and labor today, the total
export of wheat from Portland during
the year ended June 30, 1909, waa 6,
3.r)0,03.'i bushels against 13,411,581

a marked decline in exports of flour at
Portland, from 8oH,845 barrels in 1908
to 552.423 in 1919 and at I'uget sound
from 1.911,966 to 1,055,952 barrels.
Taft To Visit Yosemite.
Washington, July 15. President
Taft will spend three days in the Yo
semite valley when he goes to the Pa
cific coast this fall. The president has
aitked Congressman Needham, of Cali
fornia, to make all arrangements. He
said two days would be devoted to a
ride in a stage and on the third he
would travel on horseback. The exact
date of his trip through the Yosemite
will not be determined until the entire
Western itinerary is mapped out.
Taft and Diaz to Meet.
Wahington, July 16. Plans for the
meeting of Presidents Taft and Diaz
were made today at a conference be
tween S'-cretary of State Knox and the
Mexican ambassador. According to
the plan outlined the presidents will
meet at the center of the bridge over
the Rio Crsnde, between Kl 1'aso,
Texan, and Juarez, Mexico. The meet
ing will take place about October 15.
Loafirg Causes Shake-Up.
Washington, July 16. A "shake-up"
in the p rnonnel of the Department of
Commerce and Labor took place today,
when approximately 100 employes
were reduced and the resignations of
about 10 others accepted. The reduc
tions were made, it is ststed, because
the employes loafed on the job.
