Vancouver, BIC. Nav between
four and five thousand Japanese VIII
leave Vancouver and Puget Sound

They have heard that there are
small fortunes being made there and
that there is a large demand for Ia

Over thousand recently arrived
Orientals have gone to work on rail-

agricultural pursuits.
Nagao thinks that there are few
Japanese going to the States as con.
tract laborers, but admits that there
is a great deal of smuggling going
on among his countrymen.

BoTHA oUrw1Ts ROBERTS.
Joubert's Worthy Successor Succeeds In
Slipping Away from the British With
out Suffering Severe Loss.

London. April 2S.-In. Commandment.
General Louis Botha the Beers appear
to have found a capable successor to,
Joubert. AS the result of his insight
and quick decision it may be assumed
now that the retreating commanders,
have gotten safely away with the.
transport. Meanwhile the advance to,
Pretoria has not begun. Small Won
der is it that muff1ed complaints and
criticisms are beginning to be heard
here and there against Lord Roberts,.
Twoethirds of his entire force have,
been, employed in effecting this small
satisfaction, and the probability is
that the whole force must be again
concentrated on Bloemfontein before
the main advance begins. AS similar
raids; on the British communications
are likely to be repeated it is evident
" still a far cry to Pretoria.

THREE GREATEST AMERICANS
In Speech at GaIena, III, Gov. RoOsevsls
Pays Tribute to Washington. Lin
coin and Grant

Galena, Ill, April 2S--Great crowds
from adjacent towns gathered here
Friday to participate in the services
commemorating the birthday of Gen.
U. S. Grant. The principal orator was
Gov. Theodore Roosevelt, of New York,
who said, in part:
the long run every great nation in
stinctively recognizes the man who Pc
culiarly and pre-eminently represents it's
own type Here in our country we have
soldiers, orators, constructive statesmen
and popular leaders. Each one of these
men has had his own group of devoted
followers, and some of them have at
times swayed the nation with a power
such as the foremost of all hardly
welded. Yet as the generations slip
away, as the dust of conflict settles and
as through the clearing air we look back
with keener vision into the nations past
mightiest among the mighty dead loom
the three great figures of Washington
Lincoln and Grant. There are great men
also in the second rank; for in any gall
Iery of merely national heroes, Franklin
and Hamilton, Jefferson and Jackson
would surely have their place. But these
three greatest men have taken their place
among the great men of all nations, the
great men of all times They stood SUI
preme in the two great crises of OUT
history, on the two great occasions when
we stood in the van of all humanity and
struck the most effective blows that
have ever been struck for the cause OF
human freedom under the law; for that
spirit of orderly liberty which must stand
at the base of every wise movement to-
secure to each man his rights and to
guard each from being wronged by his

THE CoNsPIRAToR TRAPPED.
Man Who Married q Woman to Get Her
Money and Then Deserted Her at
Last Lodged in Jail.

Guthrie, Ok, April &C. D.. Glaze
was arrested at Oklahoma City and
brought here and locked in Jail upon
a charge of enlightenment and fraud.
Glaze deserted his wife here year
ago, several months after he married
her, leaving her sick in bed, taking
$4,000 of her money, selling her farm
and even disposing of her horse and
buggy. He fed to Alaska. The case
was so aggravated that the governor
offered $500 for the arrest and con-
victien of Glaze. Mrs. Glaze, who has
since obtained divorce, was formerly
the wife of Henry Kendall, a we'll
known money lender of this city. She
obtained divorce from Kendall short
~ before marrying Glaze, receiving
about $1,000 alimony. After Glaze's
disappearance it was learned from let
tiers he wrote that he was nephew
of Kendall and came here at the lat
ter's solicitation to marry the woman
and make away with her money.

Columbus, O., April 26@The re-
publican state convention here yes
terday was OF national significance.
The delegates and alternates-at-lsrge
represent close personal as well as
political friends Of the president and
the platform is just ~ it came fFOxa
Washington with the addition of the
antitrust resolution and the on2is-
sion Of the Porto Rican resolution
The platform adopted Beaf6rms the
declaration of principles made by ths
republican party in ST.. Louis in 1896,
indorses the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley and declares that I'M
der the wise and beneficent admins
tratien the republican party has re-
stored prosperity TO the country. The
platform continues:
In the field Of world duty and influence
the party met an unavoidable war
for humanity with unequaled Vigor and
success, has crowned the matchleSs tri-
umph of our arms on sea and land with
the courageous acceptance of its high
and solemn obligations, has faithfully
studied and sought equally the true honor
or the nation and the greatest good of
the peoples who have come under our
flag, and has through the wise use of
expanded opportunity led our country
on pathways of greatness and renown.
We reaffirm the principle on which the
republican party had its birth and on
which Abraham Lincoln was elected pres
ident, that the representatives of the
people have full power over territory be-
longing to the United States, in harmony
with and subject to the fundamental safe
guards of our free institutions for lib
erty, justice and personal rights. We
sustain the president and congress in ex-
ercising this power with due regard for
the safety and welfare of the union and
with the most just, generous, humane
and fraterna1 consideration for those over
whom the authority of the nation is ex-
tended. We advocate for them free
schools, full security for life, liberty and
prosperity, the most liberal measures for
the development of their agriculture and
industry, and the largest degree of local
self-rule for which they are fitted. We
have faith in, American patriotism, char
acter and capacity, and we know that
American government will extend the
inestimabIe blessings of freedom, law and
civilization to the peoples who ara
brought under our protection.

Atlanta, Ca, April 2s-The action
of populist conventions in several
northern states indorsing Hon
Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, and
naming him for first place on the
ticket, has caused something of a stir
in political circles all over the south
The association of Mr.. Watson's
name with his rumored re-entry into
politics took the form in one instance
of a report that he had decided to ac-
cept the nomination. Mr.. Watson has
stated several times that he was out
of politics, but in view of recent
rumors connecting him prominently
with the populist nomination, the dis
tinguished Georgian was asked for a
final declaration. The following was
received from Mr.. Watson Fridays
.eUnder no circumstances would I ac-
cept any nomination or any Office
Please number me among the polit-
