E~xigencies OF Politics Made It Necessary

LONDON, Aug. 9~.-Joseph H. Choate,
the United States ambassador to Great
Britain, was interviewed by a repre-.
sentative Of the Associated Press, in re.
gard to the recent war or arbitration
speech delivered by Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
the Canadian premier. He said:
"There will be no war. 1t is safe to
say that no amount of politics or politi.
clans in either country could occasion
war in this connection"
The ambassador, continuing, said
that the Canadian parliament was on
the v of dissolution and the leaders
OF both parties had to speak. Mr..
Coate seemed to think that the latter
circumstances explained Sir Wilfrid
Laurier's position, and he was inclined
to attach small Importance to the pre-
mier's remarks. MI. Choate added that

STILL NO RESULT
FROM THE INQUIRY
LITTLE CHANCE OF PRESIDE
RIOTERS BEING CAUGHT.

The investigation into the riot at the
Preside Sunday night is proceeding
slowly. but the result seems as distant as
ever. Lieutenant Devore of the Twenty
third Infantry, who has the case in
charge, was among the suspects all day
yesterday asking searching questions and
hearing the evidence of non-commissioned
officers and privates, but his labOrs made
matters no clearer and did not increase
the chances of bringing to justice the men
who were responsible for the outrage. 1t
was the same story from each. They had
been downtown on leave or had just gone
out to the fire to see what was happening.
They would not or could not give defin-
tie information, and the inquiry could go
no further than the mere asking of ques-
lions.
A further obstacle was thrown in the
way of the investigation yesterday morn
ing when two hundred and fifty of the
"casuals' were marched off the reserva-
ton and We're put aboard the Warren, now
ready to sail for Manila. The men ordered
to the Philippines were notified Of their
destination Monday morning and were
told to make themselves ready TO move
at any time. They may include all the
rngleaders of the row Of Sunday night
or they may not have a rioter in their
ranks; no one but the soldiers themselves
can tell, and they have no intention of do
ing so.
The Warren will probably sail this
morning, the time of her departure de-
of the batteries of the Sixth Artillery.
which are on their way to this city. She
will leave with eight batteries aboard,
all under the command of Lieutenant
Colonel Williston, who was for a long
time stationed at the Presidio when the
Third Artillery formed the post garrison.

.FILIPINOS WANT PEACE
BUT FEAR AGUINALDO

MANILA, April 1S.-A number of
prominent and wealthy Filipinos are
organizing a committee to take steps
TO bring about. if possible, an under
standing between the rebels and the
Americans One branch of this com
mittee intends to ask the United States
Philippine Commission TO make a
statement as to what terms will be Of
fered the rebels if the latter will sur
render.
Another branch of the committee
viii approach AgUinaldO with the
terms and VIII endeaVOr to persuade
him to accept them. 1t is considered
doubtful, however, if any members of
the committee viii dare to personally
confer with the rebel leader. The com
mittee includes several persons recently
condemned to death by Aguiualdo for
petiuoning him to cease fighting.
Major General Otis has appointed a
board, headed by Colonel Crowder, to
deal with war claims. Many such
claims have been filed. aggregating mil
lions of dollars, purely as a result of
the Iloilo fire. Major General Otis, who
has hitherto handled these claims, is
unable to devote any of his time to
them now.
General Lawton has ordered Colonel
Whaley of the Washington regiment,
who is lieutenant in the regular army,
10 command General Kings brigade
during the latter's illness.

SCHEME TO BUY
AGUINALDO OUT

NEW YORK. April 1S.--A special to
the sun from Washington says: Aguin-
aldo's well-known reputation for feath-
ering his own nest leads to the belief
that he viii prefer 10 listen TO over
lures for the purchase of the freedom
IF the YorktcWns men. The President
has at his disposal $3,000,O0 for eX-
traordinary expenses and some Of this
money can be used in ransOming Gill
more and his companions if they are
still alive. Already the suggestion has
been made that the efforts of Admiral
Dewey 10 effect the release Of the cap
tured men may pave the way for over
lures for peace from Aguinaldo. There
has been a great deal Of mystery as
TO the purpose for which the apprOpria-
ton Of 100000 was secured, and 1t is
not beyond the bounds Of the probabili-
ties that some or all of it may be used
10 persuade Aguinaldo that his cause
is hopeless.
With Aguinaldo out of the way the
backbone Of the uprising will be broken,
according to the belief here. II was
said to-day that the suggestion to offer
some of the s.. 600 900 TO AguinaldO had
been made to the Government, but the
War Department authorities pooh pooh
the idea, although they are exceedingly
reticent in discussing the matter.

Stricken Out.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WILLOWS, April 1S.-When the Muir
dock note case was called this morn
ing Judge Pirkey announced that, after
having looked up authorities, he had
decided the evidence of DR.. Sehorn
which he admitted last week, was il
relevant He ordered that it be stricken
from the records. Sehorn testified that
he had a conversat ton in March, 1894,
with Executor Burton of the Murdoch
estate and that Burton had told him
that had William Murdoch lived a week
longer the note would have been
settled
After Judge Pirkey had instructed
the jury to pay no attention to the evil
dence OF DR.. Sehorn the defense called
Morrison Bryan to impeaCh the evil
dence of H. A. Skiff, who testified that
he heard a conversation between Mary
Helen Murdoch and William Murdoch,
wherein William Murdoch admitted the
genuineness of the note. Bryan testi-
fed that Skiff told him in 1895 that he
had to go to California to testify in the
Murdoch case, and that if his side won

more.

a statement and Skiff denied ever hav-
ing talked with Bryan about the case.
Expert Kytka was on the stand all
day exhibiting photographs of the sig
natures of William Murdoch and
demonstrating to the jury his idea of
how and why the note is a forgery.

tectives here watching the jurors, who

NEWsBoYs ELECT OFFICERS.
Successful Meeting Held at the Y. M
c. A. Hall Last Evening.

Last evening the members of the News
boys Protective Union met in the Y. NJ.
c. A. Hall for the purpose of electing Of
fcers. Rob Wall occupied the chair. At
the suggestion of Happy" Dougherty,
Michael Joyce was elected recording sec
rotary and o. ]. Day financial secretary.
Happy Dougherty then turned over the
funds of the association to Day and re-
quested that the boys hereafter recog-
nize him as money holder" The name
of Mayor Phelan was then proposed for
treasurer and a committee of one ap-
pointed to wait upon him and request that
he assume the responsibility.
The difficult problem of the evening was
the selection of a sergeant-at-arms. None
of the boys seemed DESTROYS of holding
the position, but Skinny Dutch" Bow

fraternity as the Illuminated New York }
upon to become candidates. The first ball
lot resulted in a tie between "Bowery
Red" and Roberts. Spider" Foley, act
ing in the capacity of "capper" for Bow

finally succeeded in swinging the vote of

proposed picnic and appointed a commit

the, meeting was devoted to other affairs,

JAPANESE COMING
IN BY HUNDREDS
Arrival of Hordes Of
Coolies.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, April 1S.-Japanese labor
ers are yet coming into the Northwest
by hundreds. The steamer GlenogIe,
arriving on Saturday, brought 2UO, OF
hich 145 are being landed here I'M
grant Inspector Walker is being as
sted in examining them by Special
upervisor Watchorn of Washington,
who has charge of immigrant lnspec-
ton work throughout the United
States Inspector Watchorn is making
his annual tour Of investigation, but
while here is looking closely into the
charges recently made by persons ana
newspapers that the contract labor
laws apparently were being violated IN
the importation of so many Japanese.
Mr.. WatchOrn declared to-day that
the examination of immigrants was
conducted as rigidly at Northwestern
points as anywhere in the country. 1t
is done secretly here, as elsewhere, as
provided by the law and regulations
governing immigrant inspection. Wat
ChOTn says he was partly responsible
for the passage of this law. 1t was
found necessary, because otherwise
men endeavOring to import contract Ia
borers would be enabled to cluster
around, and by signs and mods inter
fere with Il just examination.
This statement has not wholly salts
fed members of labor organizations
and others, who feel that more str1n-
gent rules should be applied, with the
object of decreasing Japanese immi-
grafton. These men claim that at the
present rate the Japanese will soon
become as obnoxious as Chinese coolies.
They feel certain there is some connec-
ton between this wholesale arrival OF
Japanese and the fact that more than
1000 japanese labCrers have been en-
ployed during the past ar as section
men on the Northern Pacific, the ore
gon Railway and Navigation and the
Oregon Short Line railroads w II.
Remington of Tacoma formerly OF salt
Lake is said to have contracts with
the railroads named whereby he re-
ceives a stipulated amount per day for
each Japanese Iaborer supplied. He, in
turn. hires them of Japanese agents at
a less figure.
i The railroads are said to be saving
considerable money by this peculiar
contract system, which was started
year ago when laborers were very
scarce on account of the exodus to
Alaska and other mining fields.

FRENCH GOVERNMENT
MAY PARDON DREYFUS

LONDON, April 19.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Times, referring to the
rumors that the Court of Cessation will
abridge the Dreyfus revision inquiry in
order to enable the Government to go be-
fore the Chamber of Deputies with a well
defined situation and that its decision will
be against revision on the ground of nom
discovery of new facts, says:
"Such a solution would only result in a
continuance of the struggle in a more
violent and dangerous form than ever,
not only in France but throughout the
civilized world"
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
News, who regards such possible course
as IAN endeavor to gag Captain Frey
statter of the original court-martial. who
would show cause for annulling the Drey-
fus judgment, but will not be suffered to
speak says
II believe the Government intends to
pardon Dreyfus as soon as the Court of
Cessation has delivered judgment There
is a majority of ten against him. One
already wavers. A large proportion of
the others are old men. some of whom are
not in the best health and the influenza
might any day remove them. The Gov
eminent knowing this. hurried the pro-
ceedings with a view of nsuring a deci-
sion that will please the army and the

GOVERNOR HENRY OF
PORTO RICO RELIEVED

NEW YORK, April ia Washington
special to the Herald says: Upon request
of General Henry, the new Governor Gen
eral of Porto Rico, he has been relieved.
General Henry has found the climate en-
ervating. His successor has not yet been
selected, but the assignment of Brigadier
General Grant to the Philippines has been
held up, and some of his friends are urg-
ing that he be promoted to the vacancy.
Instructions were sent to-day TO Cen
eral Henry directing him to send to the
United States the Eleventh Infantry Reg
iment, which has seen the greatest length
of service on the island, and two light
batteries of the Seventh Artillery. This
will leave an American garrison Of only
the Nineteenth Infantry, the Fifth Cav
airy, three batteries Of the Fifth Artil-
lery and the Fourth Company of the VOL
unteer Signal Corps.
This reduction of the force is the result
of Secretary Ayers recent visit He
found the Porto Ricans quiet and orderly
and extremely patriotic, and he believes
there is no necessity of menacing them
by retaining strong force.

The admiraPs dispatch of to-day was
the first knowledge the department had
that the Yorktown had gone on this
special mission to relieve the Spanish
garrison at Baler. That the capture
should have been effected while the
American forces were on a mission OF
mercy toward the Spaniards rather
than in the prosecution of a campaign
led to the belief that Spain would have
no further ground for questioning the
good faith with which the Americans
We're seeking to relieve the condition OF
the Spanish prisoners.
Although the dispatch gives no indi-
cation that Lieutenant Gilmore and his
men had lost their lives, yet great
anxiety was aroused by the mystery
surrounding their fate while in the
hands Of an unCiviliZed enemy. This is
the first capture of any Americans,
military or naval men, so that 1t is
unknown how the insurgents Will treat
our men. l. civilized methods were
pursued an exchange could be quickly
effected, as General Otis has a large
number Of Filipino prisoners but the
insurgents have been aVerSe thus far
TO exchanging Spanish prisoners, and
this raises a question as to what they
will do with the Yorktown's men.
Baler is on the east or Pacific Ocean
