Oriental Complications

NEW YORK, Oct. A special to the
Herald from London says:
With the reported cession of Port Ar
thur to Russia, which. however, has since
been semi-officially denied from st. Pc
tersburg. the Eastern question has sud-
denly come to the front again. Minister
Kato, the japanese representative al the
court of st. James, in an interview said {:
There need be no mystery as to our de-
lay in evacuating tho Liao Tung penin-
sula. The Japanese are simply WAITING for
the first payment stipulated by the treaty
of ShimoLseki. When these payments
are made the Japanese troops will be
Withdrawn. 1 do not think Russia will
press for evacuation only. Rather I
should say she will urge China to pay the
necessary portion OF the indemnity.
Japan was forced TO yield Port Arthur
on the plea that her occupation of it
would harm the eastern trade. There
fore, cannot see how Russia could take
possession of the place and avoid the ap-
plIcation of the same argument to her
own pretensions."
IF this cession to Russia were con-
firmed,' was asked" what would be the
Japansoe outlook In Corea?"
Every threatening" was his excellen-
cy's reply. with. Russian troops at
Viadivostock on the one hand and Port
Arthur on the other, but if this would be
threatening to Japan 1t would, in my
opinion, be even more SO to China"

it is supposed that he was drowned also.

purse, but the body contained neither
purse nor money.

IT DOES LOOK CROOKED
A Prison Physician Accepts Money In Con-
slderation of His Influence

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-The Ex-
aminer charges that DR.. j. Leroy Mans
field, physician at San Quentin prison,
has accepted money from friends OF a
prisoner IN consideration of his influence
to be used in obtaining a pardon. DR..
Mansfield admits that he received $50
from two Greeks, whose names he does
not emem Der. He says the money was
paid him to be used in the purchase of
delicacies for a Greek convict who is
dying OF consumption. He gave no re-
ceipt for the money and deposited it in a
bank In his own name. The friends of
the convict. who is serving a sentence
for manslaughter, are endeaovring to
secure pardon for HIM. The doctor
promised to help them. he says, but has
not yet done anything.
DR.. Mansfield admitted that the trans
action looked crooked. but insisted that
he had not taken the money for purposes
other than to purchase delicacies for the
prisoner. In the presence of an Ex-
aminer representative today he paid $50
to Warden Hale, which was credited to
the prisoners account The convict,
whose name is Donnguili, says he has
been provided with nothing except from
the prison supplies. Warden Hale did
not care to express an opinion upon the
conduct OF DR.. Mansfield until he had
made q personal investigation.

GREENHALGE AND THE A.P.A.
Massachusetts Republicans Will Nomi-
nate Today
There Will Be a Struggle, Esr Confidence
Is Expressed That the Governor
Will Be Renominated

BOSTON, Oct. 4.--Tomorrow the Re-
publican state convention is to be held
at Music hall, and there Is an unprece.
dented gathering of delegates in the city
this evening. In the hotel corridors
affairs early took on an appearance OF q
mutual admiration society. There was
little doubt in the minds of all present
that Governor Greenhalge would meet
with but little opposition.
There was slight discord in the midst
of all the harmony, however, in gath
ering OF the A. P. A. or anti ti-Green nalge
forces, who occupied the two psrlors.
Notices were conspicuously displayed
about the corridors of the hotel, an.
nouncing the headquarters of the anti.
Grcenhalge forces and many visitors
sought them out. To what extent the
influence will be feltsin the convention i.
yer a matter of conjecture. 1t is state G
that they will pursue plan to show
their strength by presenting a candidate
for governor or by offering an A. P. A.
plank when the platform is presented.
At 8 o'clock the anti-Greenhalge lead
ers had private conference and some
said later that tney had decided to pre-.
sent the name OF Hon. Elijah }. Morse
of Canton as a gubernatorjal candidate.

Associated Press Special Wire.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. = Secretary
Olney positively refused to say anything
touching any cores spondencs he has had,
or intends to have, relative to the settle
ment OF the Venezuelan boundary dis.
pute, SO it cannot be positively ascer-
tained whether he has taken any steps
recently to induce Great Britain to SUBJ
nit the matter to arbitration. II can be
stated, however, that since Secretary
Gresham's death and up to q very recent
date, the department had not made q
single move in that direction. But in
asmuch as congress, by resolution, has
directed the executive to use it's best
efforts to bring the dispute to arbitration,
it is very probable that. having in mind
the near approach of the Assem- bling OF
congress, Secretary Olney has been Civ
ing the subject the attention 1t demands,
and is formulating his views to be COM
municated to Ambassador Bayard upon
the return of the latter from his vacation
in Scotland. Moreover, as the preceding
letters of the late Secretary Gresham on
this subject appear to have failed to So
cure action by the British government.
whose only response was reiteration of
eHelr WILLINGNESS 10 aTUltrdte tne bltic TO
the lands, included within supplementary
claims found outside of the vast tract
which the Venezuelans have seizei from
them, Secretary Olney may feel that the
time has come to make a more forcibIa
presentation than the mere statement
that the United States would welcome
submission of the questions to arbitra-
tion.
AS diplomacy has many steps between
the imitation Of ipci0pnt n 6a.
claration of war, it is possible, following
ordinary usage. TO set out such view in
terms while in style forcible, shall be eu-
tirely courteous and in no degree a2-
preaching an ultimatum. and such un-
doubtedly will be the nature of Secretary
Olney's letter. This must be done in or
der that some proper return may be
made to congress IN December next. But
further than that the secretary is not
likely to proceed. for as an ultimatum is
really step toward war. to deliver such
might ba regarded as an infringement of
the constitutional right of congress-

Bavaria Declines to Extend the clemency

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.-News has
reached Washington unofficially confirm
ing the cable reports that the Prince of
Bavaria has declined to extend clemency
to Louis Stern of New York. as was re-
quested by our am bassador, Mr.. Runyon.
The prince is the last resort in such

Mr.. Stern was tiled, and he must either

for modification of the sentence, asking
that the imprisonment be changed to

ENGLAND WANTS TRINIDAD
Where She Wishes to Establish {
Cable Station
France, England and Italy Have Determined
Upon Collective Action to Satisfy
Their Claims on Brazil

BUENUS AYRES, Oct. A dis
patch to Ell Diaro says that England.
France and Italy have decided upon COL
Iective action with a view to securing
satisfaction of their respective claims
upon Brazil.
The claims of France grew out of the
disputed jurisdiction of the territory of
Amapa, lying between Brazil and French
Guiana. Its claims are for reparat on on
account of damages suffered by Italian
ships during the revolution.
The British minister withdrew from
Rio last summer, leaving the legation
there in charge of an attache to mark the
strained relations between the countries.
England's claims probably relate to the
island of Trinidad. which she seeks to
obtain as a cable station.

The District Yesterday Joined
the City
CARRIED BY NINE MAJORITY
ihe Vote Was Even Lighter Than on
Thursday
What the New District VIII Gain by the
Move-A Problem for the Po-
lice Commission

When the proposition for q greate. Los
Angeles first began to assume definite
character, and it looked as if the city
would call special election for the pur.
pose, some of those interested in the pro-
ject SO ia. as 1t pertained to Highland
Park went before the executive committee
of the annexation association of the four
south and western districts, which on
Thursday refused to become part of the
city, and proposed that both of the then
pending elections be held upon one and
the Same day. The offer made included,
il accepted, proposition to pay to the
south and western associations any and
all of the expenses which had been by
the latter committee incurred up to that
time. The offer was fatty refused. Yes
terday the people of Highland Park voted
to annex by majority of nine votes. On
Thursday the people of Vernon, Pico
Heights, Rosedale and University refused
annexation by eighteen votes. Had the
proposition of the Highland people been
accepted by the southwestern districts,
Los Angeles would today be just as large
and no larger than was the city yester-
day. As it is, a step has been taken IN
the direction of the greater city. 1t is
little bit of a step. to be sure. but 1t is q
step in the right direction. just the same.
The election yesterday was a very quiet
affair. even more quiet than was the ole
on Thursday. Contrary to general ex-
pectation, yesterdays election carried,
although the total vote cast, especially
inside the city, was not more than 2 per
cent OF the entire total vote in the city.
Arroyo Seco Park is now part of the
city and will have to pay saloon license
OF $50 month, if a license il granted
the place at all. This will be one of the
new problems which the police comIis-
sioners will have to face.
The election board in the annexed dis
trict kept out lots of votes yesterday, per-
mitting only those whose names are In
the great register to cast their ballots.
The new district will at once require
police and fire protection. For the former
purpose q mounted officer will probably
be furnished to do night duty. What the
the way of fire protection is conun-
drum, as the city treasury is hardly in
shane for very much OF splurge in that
direction.
The new district Is to be a part of the
domaine of Councilman George Stockwell.
All of it is located in the First ward.
The city council will canvas the votes
OF yesterdays election Tuesday The re-
turns will then be certified to by the city
clerk and deposited with the secretary OF
state, after which Highland Park Will
have been officially wiped off the map.
Yesterdays election gives to the peo-
pie OF the annexed district, besides po-
lice and fire protection, the benefit of
sending their children to the high school,
the privileges of the public library and
electrically lighted streets
Yesterdays vote in detail was as fol-
