MARQUIS ITO ON CHINA.
Japan's Premier Warns Against
Coercing the Empire Too Far.
AMERICAN ATTITUDE PRAISED.

Immediate Agreement Among the
Powers Alone Can Prevent "a
Worldwide Conflict, He snys-None
hut Emperor Can Restore order.
war with China Greatest Disaster
of Century.
The following interview with the
Marquis Ito, premier of Japan. the
Trainer of Japan's constitution, is by
far the most important statement by
any statesman since the beginning of
the trouble in China. Its importance
lies In the fact that the Marquis Ito
has been the chief adviser of the en-
peror Of Japan on the Chinese ques-
ton. his knowledge Of Chinese affairs
being greater than that Of any living
man. Again, lie speaks for the country
which is more deeply interested. fnan-
cially. sentimentally and politically in
the outcome than any other. The
Marquis Ito has dictated the policy of
Japan in the China affair, and when
Marshal Yamagata resigned the pre-
miership in September it was to Ito
that the emperor turned although he
had long been retired from party poll
tics-with the request that he form
new ministry This he is now doing.
The interview was obtained for the

The refugees are not paupers in any

meet the ships at Marseilles and carry
them through France to Holland, their
mother land, which is their first stop

But Holland is overcrowded and is

The last concert of the season of the Treble Clef club will be given this evening at S:15 o'clock at the Conservatory of Mu- sic in Third avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty-frst streets. Hummel's "The Queen of the Sea" will be given, the solo, ists to be Mrs. E. G. Chandler and Miss Sophia Ungerman. The concert, while be- ing one of the most brilliant of the winter, will be fraught with more than ordinary interest, since 1t will be the occasion Of Miss Edna Gockels last public appearance in Birmingham previous to her departure for Berlin. Miss Gockel has always been the pianist for the club and her wonderful power has never been in greater evidence than al the concerts of this notable coterie of Birmingham women It is but natural to assume that her piano work at the con- cert this evening will be memorable to the assembly that shall fill the conservatory and to say that those with whom she has worked will be at their best at this fare we'll is but to assume that the occasion will be also to them one never to be for gotten.

Mrs. Saunders, however, has the distinction Of presenting a beautifully staged production in manner not unsurpassed Dy many we'll known stage managers She gave several numbers during the evening that showed her remarkable versatility, and the unlver- sal opinion was that she fully sustained her reputation as one of the best dramatic impersonators of the day. Among her se- lections was Sally Ann's Experience" a clever little story that appeared in the Cosmopolitan a few months ago. "der Cu- ban Tea" was a most delightful mono- logue, while the scene from '"The Last Days of Pompeii," in which Mrs. Saunders appeared as Nydia, the blind girl, was an even greater evidence of her power. grace and dramatic talent.

PRIVATE EPPS' BRAVE DEED
Single Handed He Captured Twenty
Armed FILIPINO Rebels.

Letters from Manila received ut Sc

of how Private Epps of Company b,
Thirty infantry, won a medal by
his heroic capture, single handed, of
20 armed Filipino rebels, says the Chi
cago Times-Herald. 1t was recently
when there was n great deal of desulto-
~ fighting near Vigan.
Epps became separated from his
companions and in scaling a wall fell
plump into party of 20 natives. With
out losing his nerve and before the
rebels could recover from their aston
ishment he ordered them to throw
down their arms. They complied, and
Epps marched them away out in the
clearing.
Here several soldiers appeared. and
with their assistance the brave private
marched them to the barracks. Epps
was summoned to headquarters and
complimented on his achievement.
