The lllnoea of Promler Aiqulth
strengthened this feeling. No one
doubted the genulneneaa of this,
though It was recalled, however, that
the aame forerunner preceded the
resignation of Theophlle Dolcasso,
French foreign mlnlater.
On one hand extreme pressure la
being brought to "bear to prevent
wholesale resignations, as this would
noreasltate a national election, and It
Is generally felt this Is no time for
such a stei. On the other hand, it

can prevent such a development, how

A note from Secretary of State

gress he proposes to convene shortly,
Within the next two days President

CHARGE THAT CREW

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
Seattle, Oct. 19. Charges that
105 Japanese, members of the big
Great Northern liner Minnesota, dis
charging cargo here, are being slow
ly starved through an order of the
Great Northern Steamship company,
denying them any food but rice, were
made today by local Japanese. Mon
day afternoon Japanese Consul Taka
hashl and a number of subordinates
from bis. office took two wagon loads
ot bread to their countrymen and
were ordered to keep- off the liner.
Takahoshi is investigating the reason
for the order denying food to the
sailors, which, he says, was issued
shortly after the Japanese- and Chin
ese members of the crew engaged in
a riot aboard the vessel more than a
week ago. Since that time, he says,
his countrymen have been denied all
food, with the exception of uncooked
rice, which they are unable to pre
pare for eating because they are not
allowed hot water and have no means
of heating It.
Orientals engaged as seamen when
the liner started her homeward voy
age will be discharged here when
the vessel eaila next month tor Lon
don and' an entire white crew taken
aboard.
Local Japanese declared today that
their countrymen were not respon
sible for the riot while tbe liner lay
at the dock, tout that the trouble was
precipitated by the Chinese, whose
rations have not been reduced.
