and Consul Wicbida at New Haven.

was visited this morning by two distin-
guished japanese gentlemen. They were
X. Nakagarva. charge d'affaires at the
japanese embassy in Washington, and s.
Wichida. consul from Japan to New York
City. Mr.. Nakagarva said he thought
their government could not do better than
send more of its sons here to be educated.
He said Yale was the most popular of the
foreign universities in Japan, and that es-
pecial interest was felt in the university
just now, owing to the fact that the vice
minister of foreign affairs, a position
which corresponds to our Assistant Sec
retary of State, Kasuo Hatoyama, receiv-
ed the degree of master of laws at Yale
in 1873.

over some mining claims that are located
about ten miles north OF Dale, known as
the Red Bird and Jupiter, as an amended
claim was filed on these last week by Jacob

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES
Prohibition Proves a Rock on Which
Delegates Split

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 2S.-The Republicans
of this city are engaged in holding pri-
mares today and contrary TO general ex-
pectations there is no excitement and very
few votes are being polled. In one precinct,
the sixth. there was quite rumpus last
night when the caucus was held and 1t was
all over the uppermost question in the city,
prohibition. Some of those present wanted
to put up high license delegates while others
wanted nothing but total abstinence men.
The argument became so heated at one
stage of the proceedings that one or two
of the cold water men jumped up and stated
with more emphasis than elegance that
if high license ruled the caucus they would
bolt the ticket and thus the matter stands.
Everyone is looking for a red-hot time
when the convention meets next month.
